As I read I feel so strongly about the how Bok and Lawrence has flashed light on the issue of speech. After reading these articles it made me think about the racist going around and I came to know more knowledge about the issue. The racist speech is something which can be form as racial tension.
The balance between the First Amendment rights to free speech and our responsibilities to the sensitive of the others can never be made. We can just remember to care about the feelings of others. Well according to me the freedom of speech is one of the rights given to all equally and it should not be on others rights of others. Everyone is born equal and has equal freedom and rights to live life. The enjoyment of the rights should be in proper way without discriminations on the basis of caste, color or sex and it will protect from racism. We should try to balance the difference and not let it to be convert into racist.
