Speaking is a gift from God. Freedom of speech is a right every citizen of a country is entitled to. This mean that a person (human being) has the freedom to speak to someone and be spoken to as well. We have the right to express ourselves to others.
Speaking also involves having the ability talk or being able to communicate what another person would understand. But sometimes the privilege or right can be taken away from a citizen who is abused or have committed a crime punishable by Law. Even in the family, when a kid does something bad and the parent scold him/her maybe say he's grounded or a criminal is caught by the police, at this point, that right is being denied.
We might ask "why"? This is because we have rules and regulations that keeps us alive, and when we rebel against them, the people put in place to enforce these laws will make sure that lives and properties are being protected by taking into custody the person guilty.
Yes! This is why we need use this gift from God wisely and never to abuse it. As parents, the Bible says to not irritate our kids. As a kid, I understand why, because when you do as a parent, your kids won't express themselves freely to you and this could lead to crisis in the family.
For instance, (nobody) young Mable goes to her dad and tells him she can not find her shoes, and then dad scolds her and says never to border him with all that and Mable sadly goes away. Mable in this instance can't speak freely to dad because she would be scared he would scold her again.
Speaking might not be easy for all. Some talk much while other little. We all have the Freedom Of Speech to do the following:
- Freedom to express oneself
- Freedom to speak and to be spoken to
- Freedom to opinion
- Freedom to choice of words
- Freedom to report to officials
This are the major freedom of speech every citizen is allowed to enjoy and abusing them would come with consequences. Freedom Of Speech had to be protected by law and and anyone who disobeys or prevent others from enjoying it would be called to order.
Freedom Of Speech can be denied or deprived through the following ways
Child abuse: when a child is abused he or she loses her right to freedom of speech as the abuser takes this by force and is in charge of what he says or not
Human trafficking: During the slave trade, slaves were not to speak unless their master permitted them to. Human traffickers lease put severe punishments of victims for rebel or refuse to comply.
War: During war, many rights are taken away from humans and this includes the freedom of speech
Arrest: When a criminal is arrested and is found guilty, all he/she says, without proof, is viewed baseless and as a result, right to expression is lost Others includes; kidnapping, house arrest, threats, etc
If your right to expression is abused, please report to adequate security officers if it's possible to act on this. Be kind and open to your kids as they too would be able to express themselves better to you.
Lead a simple life and use your freedom of speech wisely.

Civic rights are meant to be free and given fairly to everyone and never be abused. I only have issues with a persons ecpression of their freedom to speech when they use it to demean another. Well, i usually would just let the law take its course.
Otherwise, no one should let themselves be made to shut up. It is wrong and an infringement.
I totally agree. When someone uses this right without bridle to accuse someone. It could be the worst experience 😥
Didn't know much about this only that movies are shot there and it's a small town
