Eight Values of Free Expression

 


Eight Values of Free Expression


    After reading the eight values of free expression many of the values stood out to me. Two in particular to me were very important in today's modern times and situations. The value that I want to speak about is the values of Stable Change. This value has been very important in these last few years when it comes to the racism and criticism in the African Americans communities. Recently in our world police systems and other groups of people have been generally racist and one sided when it comes to the freedoms and rights that us Americans have. What I mean by this is that racism is still very prominent in our America today and African Americans have every single right to talk and protest how they feel to get the message across. With the recent events of BLM marches and protests it has given the African American communities a great opportunity to express how they feel about what is going on in our America today. The value of stable change is very important right now as the marches and protests take place, because the African American community is angry and alienated as they should be as what has happened in the recents events. These values protect them and their rights because their voices need to be heard around the world and country to help make a stop to the racism and violence towards African Americans in our country.  This value is personal to me because having black friends and a black girlfriend I was also angered and saddened about what has been going on in our country. Everyone deserves equal rights and everyone deserves the same opportunities. It doesn't matter about your ethnicity, it is our right to feel this way and I am truly happy about these values to help protect the marches and protests to make sure our country is safe and make sure everyone feels equal. We talked about technologies and how they can be very useful in the matters of our first amendment. With platforms like instagram and twitter people have been using them to help spread their points and expressions about the matter of BLM and to make sure it spreads to a wider audience than just around them. These technologies give some of the biggest names such as athletes, actors, artists, political figures and much more a platform to express the opinions and educate others about what is going on to help spread the word and inform what's going on in our country and what they can do to help bring a end to this racism across our country. These important figures using their platforms is massive because it promotes others to use their platforms to get the message out to even more people to help end racism. These values overall all help people in different situations to express their first amendment rights and promote how they feel to others while using all different types of platforms such as the one I said in instagram and twitter. All the values are important to me and help people express how they feel.

  Relationship with Technology Throughout my life technology has always been around. It's crazy to think in my life span that technology has always been there, talking with my parents about technology they always talk about the things they would have to do because the technology wasn't as advanced as it is now. But now technology is so advanced that living life itself is so different that everything we interact with technology is there. This means that everyday life is always interacting with technology. Is my everyday life relationship with technology healthy or unhealthy? I would say my relationship is right in the middle. Somedays I use technology very minimally and some days I use it a lot. But the biggest negative I have in the relationship is a distraction. Usually, when I'm doing work my phone or computer will be very close to me and I could be halfway through my assignment and I will get a text or a snap or notification for a social media post. I will check the noti

Privacy

 Online Privacy Online privacy has become a big topic over the past couple of years because of the growth of social media. Almost all information that gets put online by you can be seen or distributed even though you thought you were protecting your info. This is a very scary thing because you never know what could happen to your online info. This could affect my family and I because much of our information and cards could be traced and have money taken away from us. Many people can't afford to have any money taken from them to help provide for their families. This is why online privacy is so important. Not only can your info be taken but personal info could be found and things about you could go public that you don't want people to know.  So what could the government do to help stop this? The government could make it illegal to track or look up others' information. Because as of now some of the biggest companies in the world can look up all the info they want and will ha

Why don't we hear or see certain articles? Blog #6

      In the mainstream media it is very hard to see anything about anti war or anything that isn't exactly promoted or co-signed by the government. It almost seems that you have to go outta your way and seek out this information on your own. These websites such as Antiwar.com and the American Conservative are rare to find in google searches and many platforms because it goes against the American norm even though it’s their right to talk about this and educate others about what they are feeling. I believe you have to seek out these websites because the military doesn't want the everyday person to hear negative things about the military because they want it to keep its reputation and strong representation to the public. Being honest before having to look at these sites for class I have never heard or seen of these websites before. Which ultimately makes me think that the military and government doesn't want this kind of negativity towards them on the internet for the whole p
