MrMcG SUBTITLE OF THE CONTENT YOU WILL EXPLORE

A summary of the analytical finding you discover My topic is the argument related to freedom of speech as considered in the 1 st Amendment (Bill of Rights) Supporters of Freedom of speech argue the following: government should not be in charge of censorship, they will use this to further their agenda It is an individual’s right to say what they want, and publish/share what they wish. It is therefore an individuals responsibility to consider the information and interpret it as they see fit. Those against aspect of Freedom of speech argue the following: Government has a responsibility to its citizens in protecting them and keeping order among the general society. In specific cases such as pornography, violent images, bullying and racial slander…etc, free speech should be controlled.

My “Source Box” In support of 1 st AmendmentArguemetns of necessary control over speech Source A In “Rosenberg vs Board of Education, Kings County, New York, The Supreme Court decided that these two works cannot be banned from the New York City schools, libraries, or classrooms, declaring that the Board of Education "acted in good faith without malice or prejudice and in the best interests of the school system entrusted to their care and control, and, therefore, that no substantial reason exists which compels the suppression of the two books under consideration.” Source C Source BSource D “The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers.” - Thomas Jefferson

A Primary source – Quote it, explain the quote, then provide the citation In “Rosenberg vs Board of Education, Kings County, New York, The Supreme Court decided that these two works cannot be banned from the New York City schools, libraries, or classrooms, declaring that the Board of Education "acted in good faith without malice or prejudice and in the best interests of the school system entrusted to their care and control, and, therefore, that no substantial reason exists which compels the suppression of the two books under consideration.” This shows that when purchasing books for a school library, there is no INTENTION to harm someone, and that schools in general understand their role in shaping and impressing upon young minds. If there is no INTENTION to harm related to the ‘speech’ it is not able to be censored. Evans, Alona E. “C.D.R. Enterprises, Ltd. v. Board of Education of the City of New York. 412 F.Supp. 1164.” The American Journal of International Law 72.1 (Jan. 1978): 159. 13 Oct. 2015..

A Secondary Source In this case, a visual – state the meaning, give reasons, cite it The meaning of this source is that Comedy Central is taking away the right to free speech of some of its contributors. This can be seen by the pencil, labeled as ‘Comedy Central’ is erasing one of its popular cartoon characters. On the Character’s shirt is written ‘Free Speech’ to show that he represents the removal of free speech from the image. “free speech «storycartoons.com Blog.” RockRiver Times. 2010. 13 Oct. 2015..

Repeat process for sources C & D

Make it smooth like butta Connect it all and provide your conclusions. According to the research above, the need for free speech censorship of specific ‘hate related’ topics, and the impact that unchecked sensationalism in the media seems to outweigh the arguments related to banning books and cartoons from their views in an open access forum. This however is a slippery slope and far from a full view of the many sides of this issue.
