Should there B curbs on freedom of expression ? - Page 4

Right to express one's ideas and opinions freely through speech, writing, and other forms of communication but without deliberately causing harm to others' character and/or reputation by false or misleading statements. Freedom of press is part of freedom of expression.

I do think that freedom of exprssion should be limited for certain reasons, fundamentally the rights were given to us so we all were equal however from the onset it was implied that these rights had limitations. We have he freeom to express our thoughts as long as it doesn't discriminate another person (i.e racism, sexism, slander, defamation) etc, when we carry out these acts we sort of abuse our rights.

our comments/ thoughts shouldn't make a person/group feel inferior because when we use hateful terms and discriminate we break a fundamental right - the freedom to live.

Article 1.

• All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

Article 2.

• Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.

By discriminating we abuse these rights

sorry if I went on and on
