My Favorites of the8 Values Of Free Expression
#1: Discovery of Truth
This is one of my favorite Values of Expression because I believe that honesty will always prevail. Honesty in general, but especially when it comes to government, is extremely important. Milton developed this value to suggest that when the truth and deception or dishonesty are given the opportunity to clash or are presented together, the truth will always prevail. For example, if someone who is clearly right were to argue with someone who is just as obviously wrong, the person who is wrong would lose, therefore making the other person's truth even stronger. Honesty and trust are important parts of what makes the relationship between people or citizens and their government strong and durable. If everyone was always dishonest with one another, nobody would have really, fulfilling relationship and nobody would trust each other. This value is most important in government or when writing about political topic because if your want the public to trust your writing in the professional world then It is important to be honest. Honest speech is hard to find in today's society and also much easier to uncover lies. That is why now, more than ever, it is extremely important to be open and honest before someone else uncovers the deceit instead.
#2: Participation in Self-Government
Participation in self government is another one of my favorite values of free expression because I agree with the belief "that citizens won't make informed choices in elections if the candidates and advocates of certain policies are not given the full in ability to communicate their positions." without proper knowledge about eh candidates hat are voting for, potential voters will either not vote or vote with no reasoning behind their choice because there is no information available to them that is why the internet is a great advancement because now we can do the research and connect with out candidates and their teams. all citizens must be informed about public issues so they can participate effectively, whether by voting or by running office. other ways that citizens can participate include: signing petitions, writing letters to representatives, serving as a juror, or even serving in the military. we, as citizens have the full and undeniable right to participate in governing our nation and if we want to make our country the better place to live we all need to do our part and increase citizen participation.
