FREEDOM OF SPEECH


As long as one does not infringe on the liberty of another, free speech is tolerated.  If one wants to preach the words of Marx or Weber in a free world, it is a freedom of speech.  The west have proven victorious in the battle of supremacy.  Ideologically it may seem flawed to compete however the invisible hand has proved itself successful.  The political elite of the liberal world are able to tolerate peaceful criticism.  Healthy debate leads to reform.  Freedom of speech includes the publishing of books, blogs, music, video articles, flyers and general ranting and raving.  We have this freedom in the west.  It is a good freedom.  As far as freedoms of video goes, we might have to address this issue.  Right thought and right action with tolerance is the only way.  As we want freedoms for ourselves, we are also extending these freedoms to our neighbor.  As we allow the free market of free speech, we encounter all sorts of dilemmas of extreme or niche markets.  Tolerance is the key!


Freedom of speech is tolerated in the extreme west, however we have the dilemma that theist societies, like Iran and communist states like China, do not wish to homogenize and want to preserve their culture.  This wish should be upheld with the utmost respect.  As long as there is social contract within states, the infracture established to trade should not be broken.  The Chinese culture is very deep with ties to ancient kingdoms.  This knowledge that they possess, their culture is of great importance.  Similarly the extreme policies of backward states like Iran should not be dismissed.  We have to learn to be tolerant as the Great Buddha professed.  Right thought and right action will lead to greater happiness.  If we all respected each other liberties, such as liberties to life, wife and speech, there would be less problems in this world, however have to be context if we can secure the right of life.  We have to be tolerant of the liberty of free speech in this digital matrix.
