Freedom Of Speech

Do you think swearing is right? Well everybody in the world does it either its addressing it to someone, threatening someone, or even just saying it for no reason. Freedom of speech is important because it gives a person a chance to express themselves freely without having to get in trouble or anything. People around the world listen to swearing almost everyday. There are sometimes that you can get in trouble for saying what you want (I.e. threatening someone for there life). If you were to threaten someone for there life, you will get arrested. But everyday you hear it in movies, places, music, and other media. This should be researched more because swearing is in a lot of media and sometimes they cut swears out. If adults didn’t want their children listening to that kind of music or watch that kind of show, they shouldn’t let their children watch it then. So technically we should be able to say what we want when we want. This essay will consist an emotional appeal, a logical appeal, and debunking the other argument of the first amendment. First will be an emotional appeal on the first amendment.

The first amendment helps people in plenty of different ways but also has affects to it. If this amendment wasn’t here or met, people may talk slower than what they do now because they would have to be careful to what they are saying. Also if this amendment wasn’t met, we would have less media because vulgar language is used in a lot of what we see and hear today. This fact helps my cause because people like to watch movies or go out to the movies as in a date. A lot of comedy comes from vulgar language, and people like comedy. If this amendment was cut, it would be harder for the writers of a show or movie to write it because they would have to come up with new ideas without using bad jokes or anything. A general common understanding in our culture is that we can say certain words in media that we cant use in school, institutions, or somewhere formal because its unacceptable. But people would go against this amendment because of threats. Not only does vulgar language affect some as we grow, but it can also be used as a threat to frighten someone. Next will be a logical appeal on the first amendment.

Freedom of speech and saying what you want to say is important in the world because without freedom of speech how would everything be today? Things would be very different in the world. Music and all other media would be different too. If there wasn’t freedom of speech, media would be on a far different level than it is today. It would be more difficult to make a good song or another funny movie that people would like. If this point of view is not met, there would probably be less movies, music, and other media because in media the writers try to make things funny by swearing or make a dirty joke which most of the time requires swearing in it. A lot of what we say and hear now consists of vulgar language. Its just an everyday thing for a lot of people because people get mad. This point of view helps the current situation because everybody says what they want when they want anyway. A lot of people would be affected by this if this wasn’t or isn’t met because they would have to be careful of what they say. Lastly will
