Freedom of Speech

What is the most important part of the First Amendment to you? Religion  Press, Speech, Petition or Assembly? To me it is the freedom of speech because all of the other freedoms kind of revolve or depend on freedom of speech. However with this choice I still have many questions relating to the limits and what our society would be like without the freedom of speech. Some of my questions can be some what answered by me however others can't so if you know and think you can help me out please be free to tell me in the comments section below! (Please be sure to state the question and answer.) Also if you have any further questions on freedom of speech comment below and I will try my best to help you out!

MY QUESTIONS!

Q= One question I have is, if you say something negative about the way our government is being run in the presence of important governmental figures, would punishments be ensued?

A= I do not know what would happen but I believe that you should not be punished for that. I believe this because you are simply speaking your opinion and perhaps trying to give them inspiration or ideas.

Q= How far does the freedom of speech extend in a educational atmosphere.

A=  In a educational atmosphere (such as a school) the freedom of speech is still relevant however comments and remarks have to be school related or age appropriate/ respectful. 

Q= What would our society and everyday lives be like without freedom of speech? 

A= Again I am not quite sure but all the other freedoms rely on freedom of speech. So without it I guess none of the other parts of the First Amendment would exists or at least have a strong impact on everyday life.

These were some of the questions that were still on my mind after learning about the First Amendment! Hope you enjoyed!

Wal-Mart Protest on Black Friday

This year on black friday there were many strikes at Walmart for many different reasons. Some of the protestors were angered because of the low pay the employees were getting. Others were upset because Walmart was keeping their employees to work during Thanksgiving instead of spending time with their familys. Lastly some beilieve that Walmart treats their workers bad in general.  This is why protests started at Walmart.

These protests took place all around the U.S. (over 100 cities) It was a very big deal for the people of the United States. Most protest took place outside of walmarts however some people just avioded shopping there for black friday. At the Walmart in Paramount, Calif., about 600 protesters, including about 100 Walmart workers, turned up Friday morning. Also in Hanover, Md., 400 employees, union workers, activists and other supporters showed up at a Walmart on Friday.

Walmart denies and claims that many things said are untrue. They say that only 100 out of their 1.3 million workers took part in the black friday protest. Also Walmart says "89% said they"definitely recommend the walmart company to a friend." This shows why 99.99 percent of the employees did not protest against Walmart.

I personally beileve that the others were probably afraid of getting fired because Walmart is very cruel to their emplyees and dont give them alot of freedom. Also most of the people at Walmart need their jobs so joining in something like that was way to risky.

"Given their goal of raising awareness among shoppers about low pay, lack of benefits and what they call Walmart's pattern of punishing workers who try to organize, strikers said their events were a success."
