Pros And Cons Of Ryan Lochtes
1. Respect is earned.
2. We don't live in a dictatorship, a criticism on his freedom is a criticism on the entire First Amendment
3. I hope the same people outraged over Colin, were equally ranting and raging about Ryan Lochte when we totally misrepresented America(or maybe he actually represented us right

    However, one aspect of the First Amendment that was contradictory to Milton’s view is the establishments of freedom of religion and the freedom of speech. Milton believed that much of the stifling of freedoms, especially in regards to the press, stemmed from religion, and while he was in favor of freedom for all, he was cautious of the role that religion would play in pursuing these freedoms. Nevertheless, many of the clauses put in place for the First Amendment regard the ability of the citizens of the United States to speak their minds about any subject, regardless of topic, although it has been updated and certain limitations have been put in place since its inception. One of the most notable inclusions is that the First Amendment allows for speech that is critical of government and its officials to be freely expressed; a sentiment that Milton would have most likely…

    However freedom of speech is not absolute. The word “abridging” in the Free Speech Clause suggests that government cannot deprive the right to freedom of speech; but at the same time the suggestion is unclear about whether the government can put restrictions on how “free” the speech can be. Most people when mention the word “speech”, usually have the tendency to think of spoken words and often neglect the existence of…

    The First Amendment was written into our Constitution because our founding fathers were familiar with government suppression of political speech. Before the American Revolution, England imprisoned, exiled, and killed men and woman who spoke out against the “Crown”. This continued in the very earliest years of colonization of the United States until The Free Speech Clause of the Constitution was drafted to save those who disagreed with these policies, of a similar fate. Our U.S. Constitution gives us more freedom to voice our opinions than most, if not any other country. There are however some areas which is not equal under the amendment, they are as follows: Speech that incites illegal activity, subversive, fighting words, obscenity, pornography, commercial speech and symbolic expression.…

    Neil Gaiman once said, “The current total of countries in the world with First Amendments is one. You have guaranteed the freedom of speech. Other countries don’t have that.” At the time of the amendments’ creation, a vast majority of operating countries had not yet granted their people such freedoms. Granting every citizen of the United States this right seemed to have been an important landmark in this nation’s history. Along with others, this right is declared to the people in the first amendment of the constitution. The first amendment is the most important because it grants people freedom of speech, prohibits prior restraint, and declares the right to peaceable assembly.…

    The freedom of speech, religion and press seems like an everyday activity, right? But imagine if you were not allowed to speak your opinion or practice your choice of religion, or even write about facts or opinions that interest you. What if you had to keep all your thoughts and opinions to yourself except for the ones that you were allowed to express or you would be in trouble. That would be like torture. That is why Amendment number one of the Constitution is the most important one and we need to keep it, because without those rights the voice of America would not be heard.…

    Although the first amendment was written into our constitution, the translation of the meaning of the written word is often challenged. Some people believe freedom of speech should not include hate words, pornography, and vulgar language in our music or on the radio or public television. In addition, there are people who believe in freedom of religion but only if the faith is similar to their own and there is a constant debate regarding freedom of the press and what newspapers should be able to report. Because interpretation of the first amendment is sometimes challenged, some court rulings on important cases regarding freedom of speech, religion, and press have changed some perceptions.…
