Just another Edublogs.org weblog

Freedom of speech

Filed under: Uncategorized — sabrinaegea26 at 7:26 am on Thursday, April 3, 2008



This week Ms. Rumford asked us to write about what freedom meant to us, and how it relates to edublogs. What freedom means to me, is that I am able to speak out my thoughts and opinion without being judged, that I am able to do whatever I want that doesn’t violate any laws. It also means that I am free, in other words I am not owned by anyone and I have the same rights as everyone else around me. So time ago slavery occurred all over the world, which was when a person was involuntarily sold to another person and they had to do everything their owner told them to do. They were treated as their personal property and some lived in very bad conditions. This in my opinion is an example of not having personal freedom. Slaves were treated as if they were owned by someone else, and didn’t have the rights their owners had. I think freedom relates to blogging, because when we blog we speak out our thoughts and opinions, and that is the hole point of writing in edublogs, is so other people can read what you think about a topic, and other people around the world can write back about their opinions of what you think.

I thought your post was interesting because of how you relate it to slavery. Interesting connection. What exactly do you mean by not violating any laws? Do you think that in a blog you can express yourself rudely? Why or why not? If yes, what consequences might come up?
