Values of Free Expression

Free Expression

 

The United States was founded upon giving people more freedoms. Since we were once a colony under Britain we wanted more of a voice and freedoms. All of these values have been through some sort of change or disagreement on what it should protect and who it protects. I think that the two that stand out to me are Individual Self-Fulfillment and Promote Innovation.

These two ideas go hand and in with each other. Without the ability of free speech, our ideas and thoughts could be limited, resulting in a less advanced and expressive society. Promote Innovation is one of the most important values for a lot of different jobs, for example Game Designers have to just put out ideas that they think of to improve a game or make a completely new game.



This is from Sonic the Hedgehog movie, on the left was Sonic's original design and the right is what it was changed to after fans we're not happy with the original design choice. If we weren't allowed to voice our opinion then this movie could've done a lot worse at the box offices. Promote Innovation allowed people to hate on the original Sonic for the movie and get him changed to look like his normal self. Individual Self-Fulfillment is what allowed someone to make all the video game, comic book, and TV characters we love. Being able to think of stories for plot and details of that world and character wouldn't be allowed with free expression.

I don't typically keep up with everything that comes across the mainstream news. I use some social media to get that type of information from but most of the stuff I look at is gaming news. So here are the top 5 sites I use to find that type of information.  Kotaku   Kotaku is generally the most used website for gaming news. What I like about Kotaku is that it doesn't just let you know about new features in a game, or it's expected release date. Kotaku takes it a step further and talks about the gaming community as a whole, such as drama that is happening on Twitch. Kotaku sheds some light on how the gaming community can be widespread and still have it's struggles to deal with from certain creators. IGN IGN is a place where you would go to find some reviews of games, new superhero shows, and much more. IGN likes to mostly just give the readers a slight insight to how a game might actually feel while playing, rather then just looking at a trailer and hoping it's good

Diffusion Theory

 Vaping Vapes have been around for plenty of years now. It used to not be as popular because many people were skeptical of it. So why did it eventually become popular for a long time and then fall off after a few years? This is a very relevant Diffusion Theory, since most teens were the people that adapted to using the vapes.   People weren’t really accustomed to electronic nicotine devices for a while once they came out. People started to pick them up after a while and then they grew in popularity. As teenagers got a hold of vapes and older people started buying them to sell, the increase in popularity increased therefore making the bell curve of Diffusion Theory go forward. After the huge increase in people using vapes, many studies came out saying that vapes were bad for you and you should quit. The diffusion theory is proven by this trend and many other trends that came about.

Supreme Court

  What did you learn about the Supreme Court that you didn't already know? That they get about 7000 cases a year and about 100 per week What is the most important take-away point about the Supreme Court? They get to choose the cases they want to work by a majority of judges wanting to take on that case What was the most surprising thing you learned? They release their final statements on the case to the public after a case has been decided How did the video change the way you thought of the Supreme Court? It showed me that the Supreme Court is more of a "For the People" body of government, they don't hide too much from the public compared to Congress and the President
