The Limits of Free Speech
This week in Global Hour we will take a look at our thinking on freedom of speech. Together we will explore some of the issues surrounding this topic, which is often discussed in controversial stories in the mass media. Some points and questions to ponder:
1. How is freedom of speech perceived in the United States and around the world?
2. How do we define what is appropriate to say… and what might be unacceptable?
3. In some cases it is necessary to have limits on freedom of speech. Do you agree?
4. What lessons can we draw from controversial debates in the mass media?
As always, we will begin with "Global Hour Headlines" from around the world. This brief segment helps begin our dialogue and further illuminates paths on future conversations.
