Writing Prompt: "Banning a Hated Word?" Should Every Country Has to Establish Certain Value-Based Limits? Yes or No?

        In the article, “Banning a Hated Word?” Rabbi Dou Lipman says that “Every country has to establish certain value-based limits” to free speech. I do agree with him. Many countries have a bloody and dark past and also may have memories that they wish they could forget. Unfortunately, not everyone understands the pain of other people. The word Nazi, used in an inappropriate way can bring back terrible memories of the past for someone such as a Holocaust survivor. The Nazis did terrorize those people and the survivors don’t want to remember all the bad things that had happened to them at that time. Yes countries should have the right for people to express their feelings but they should also set boundaries on how they express their feelings. If a man is angry at a Jewish man he can say whatever he wants to him to let him know how he feels but he should not call him a Nazi or paint the swastika on that man’s house. There are more appropriate ways of getting your opinion out into the world, so banning the use of the word Nazi inappropriately would be the right decision. Every country should be able to set a value-based limit to free speech. You can’t just say whatever you want to a person. Think about how they would feel. Then think about how you would feel if someone had said the same words to you.
