- Free Speech?
- "Hate Speech"
- UK laws making certain types of speech criminal .eg. Tommy Robinson etc.
- women's rights, LGBT rights and certain faiths were all deviant as "hate speech" 100 years ago.
- Islamophobia, racism, sexism etc 2018
- is it "hate speech" actually hateful or does society struggle to tolerate extreme views? when do we cross the line? should we cross the line?
- silent majority? does speech being labelled "hate speech" cause a silence in extreme voices, only to be exercised in private and not challenged?
- Threat to democracy? could this mean extreme views are coming to parliament as a result of not being challenged beforehand?
- do agents of socialisation determine our views? family, media, workplace, education?
- An entitlement to expression throughout history
- LGBT views are now socially acceptable
- this has changed throughout history, what was once acceptable (racism, sexism etc.) is now not, what was once deviant is now socially acceptable (LGBT views, women rights).
- LGBT views are now socially acceptable
- Political Correctness
- has shifted a standard of what is and isnt now verbally socially acceptable
- Intentions were to give minorities a voice, in doing so have we restricted other views in society?
- Threat to democracy? could this mean extreme views are coming to parliament as a result of not being challenged beforehand?
- "Hate Speech"
