James Madison wrote the first amendment of the United States and in that, he said: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” We the people have to be able to understand that as a whole everyone has to be able to speak their minds and address the things that they feel should be addressed. Our government has to stand by us and hear what we have to say, we have to work with our government and hear what they have to say. We are whole in perspective because we all have the right to speak out on what we believe.
I remember growing up reciting and hearing this in elementary school every morning before homeroom; "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.the significance of this was that everyone in the whole school was reciting these words together as a whole with one heart over their hand facing the American flag. Part of that is to remember what we are as a country and the rights we have. Justice for all means that everyone is treated fairly and justly. One thing that is evident in what is being spoken is that we are a nation under God living with liberty and justice for all. As a nation we are supposed to be working together not around each other, part of that requires being able to hear everyone's voiced opinion. When people are upset or have questions and need to talk about it, that is the best time for others to listen and hear them. Let people voice their opinion, listen to what they need to speak about. Without freedom of speech people can’t talk about things and we we are not one nation as a whole. Freedom of speech is what people are born with, it is a God given right.
First of all people have minds that need to be spoken. People are not supposed to suppress what they have inside they have to let things go. If one can’t voice their opinion it is hard for them to feel connected or free. Part of what we live for is freedom. America is also known to be “the land of the free” this is what our country and government was founded on. Whenever people need to let things out it is a good thing. If someone has something on their mind that they want to speak about the best thing to do is just listen. Let them say what they have to say. Understanding that everyone's opinion is valid and that you should’t prevent people from saying what's on their mind is not really a good thing.
Personally I would want to know what someone is mad about if I made them upset.
