What is freedom of speech?

Freedom of speech is basically the right to say what you want to say whenever you want. This also includes the right to express your opinion or thoughts through speech, writing, or graphics (i.e. symbols, drawings). For example you have the right to speak up to defend yourself anytime. This right is not granted in every country. But basically you can say whatever you want whenever you want.Even though, this doesn’t mean you should. You should be careful with what you say, consider other people’s feelings and emotions. Sometimes you say things with out thinking them thoroughly. This is a privilege so don’t abuse it. You have to understand the difference between the things that stay in your mind (insults, and other insulting comments), and things you can say (defend yourself, nice comments).You should not only be careful with what you say to people, but also with what you write. For example the internet. Whatever you write in the internet, will be there for a while. Also, you have to consider that anyone who has access to the internet, can see it. Anything you write can be attacked by anyone. So, my point is that anything you write, say, draw, has to be thought thoroughly before written, said, or drawn. But you can say ANYTHING you want, just be careful with what you say, also in the way you say it. Sometimes you mean to say something, but because you say it without thinking, it comes out in another way and is misunderstood. This can cause conflict with you and other people, so just be careful with abusing this right.free_speech_1.jpg

“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given that to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing” (Beckham for Adidas commercial). Beckham is a famous English soccer player. He was born on May 2, 1975 in Leytonstone, England. He is married to Victoria Adams, Spice Girl. Some of his nicknames include Spice boy and Becks. In this moment he plays with Los Angeles Galaxy (captain), but before played with Manchester United and Real Madrid. He has grown as a player though the years. One of the records he has broken is that he is the only player from England that has scored goals in three world cups.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 (Attached a video of Beckham in another Adidas commercial, about his life and how impossible is nothing) “In the second round (last 16) of that competition, he received a red card in England’s match against Argentina. Beckham, after having been fouled by Diego Simeone, kicked Simeone, striking him on the calf. Simeone later admitted to trying to get Beckham sent off by over-reacting to the kick and then, along with other members of his team, urging the referee to send Beckham off. The match finished in a draw and England were eliminated in a penalty shootout. Many supporters and journalists blamed him for England’s elimination and he became the target of criticism and abuse…” (wikipedia)David Beckham
