Freedom of Speech


In Canada we are allowed to speak or say anything that will not offend a persona particular group. You could speak your mind as long as it does not offend any particular group, a person, a religion or a race.


We live in a country that is developed and has laws that the police make the public follow. Freedom of speech is also in our constution of rights and freedom. As long as you are in Canada you cannot say that could offend any particular group based on their race, colour, sex, culture or religion, you also can't show through your actions any hatred against any race, culture, religion, sex or colour. There will be strict actions against that person who shows any hatred against a particular group such as the persons religion, culture etc.

I am glad to living in a country that takes any kind of discrimination very seriously based on sex, race, culture, religion or any thing that will offend a particular person.

Bullying


In Canada many children and teens are scared or are afraid to go to school because they get bullied at school. School is suppose to be a institution that children go to learn not get in fights or get bullied.


Emily Goldin is one of those students that get bullied at school and she gets called names like fat, ugly, whore, slut at school. No one should be scared to go to school and learn. Everybody has the right to go to school and learn. There should be programs and groups that students can join to help them with this issue of bulling. There should also be more harsher punishment for those who bully other students. Students like Emily Goldin have to go through a lot of pain and suffering everyday because of some students who think it is cool or funny to bully others, who are smarter than them. Even though Emily told her school officials about her problem. They did not take a step to stop the students from bullying her because her parents were huge dollar supporters of the school. There should be a case against the school for not taking a step against the students bullying Emily Goldin.


To reduce bulling in schools they should start groups or programs that students could go to and open up and tell them the problems they are having. The schools should also give more harsher punishment to those who bully for example the students should get suspended for a longer period of time.
