Freedom of Speech

Everybody deserves to have an opinion. Being able to say what you want and expressing the way you feel about things allows people to see the way you see things. Respecting their opinion and thoughts can make people have more respect for you because you have such a strong opinion about things. Expressing your own ideas and concepts gives a person a better understanding. However, not many people express their feelings about things, they tend to keep it to themselves because they feel like they may be judged or insecure. Because people have such a strong opinion about things, they can be defensive easily offended. It is up to us to allow others to speak their minds so that we all have a better understanding of each other, allowing others to respect you and themselves.
