JOKES, OFFENSIVE HUMOUR AND FREEDOM OF SPEECH



It is about where the lines are 

to be drawn ...


Has freedom of speech gone

too far or not far enough?


Should there be restrictions 

or limits on freedom of speech?








1. READ THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE AND TRY TO SUM UP YOUR OPINION ON THE TOPIC OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH. 

·Are you free to say whatever we want to say? 
·How would you react to the sign of the café of the article?
·What other things have you found along your life that you would restrict them, ban them, prohibited them?
· What are the main prohibitions you have in your life? Are they necessary? Are they fair for you?

Virtually all humour is offensive to someone; 

most humour is hurtful to some sensibility; 

much humour is rooted in pain and fear ...


" Being offended by freedom of speech should never be regarded as a justification for violence"
