Freedom of Speech: How Free Are We to Express our Thoughts?



Most people would say that freedom of speech means that we have the right to say whatever we like, whenever we like. But let’s debunk that because that’s just a misconception of what freedom of speech truly is. The proper definition for freedom of speech is having the right to seek, receive and impart ideas and also information of all kinds. This may even include those that may or may not be offensive. It is our sole responsibility on how to properly use this freedom of speech and it is supposed to be legitimately restricted because it must be governed.
Because most of the population doesn’t know the true definition of freedom of speech and they still think the former is the right one, then that’s the reason why they abuse it and use freedom of speech for inadequate ideas and information. It can be commonly found in social media sites nowadays. People are exposing, mocking, quarrelling and bullying other people via these sites and claiming that they do so because they have this freedom of speech. But they’re totally wrong. That’s not freedom of speech. Freedom of speech requires us to be sensitive to others and to be fully responsible of our expressions. Nowadays, what people do is to defile another person or entity then use freedom of speech as their excuse.
We all have the right to freedom of speech but it must always come to our mind to be responsible of our expressions, to know what must be said or not said especially in public and to practice this meaningfully.

Design Thinking: How Designers Solve Problems According to Emilie Johnston from CloudApp, Designers have a unique way of seeing the world and that perspective can add some major value to the business. But a traditional task-oriented design mindset won't get you there. Here are some of the ways great designers innovate their way to the top. Make problem-solving the priority The colors, the creativity, the endless possibilities for how to make a product better, easier, sexier. Hands down, the BEST thing about design, is that it's fun. Really fun. The problem with it being fun, is that you could literally spend hours obsessing over fonts, and never solve a single problem for your users. Great designers relish the details, but never lose sight of the bigger picture. They know that while tools and tricks may come and go, the big picture is always the same: Solving a problem for your user. Because at the end of the day, it doesn't matter which platform yo...

Math is easy. Design is hard.

You read it right. Math is easy and design is hard. Most people would argue with this quote because they would say that Math is definitely harder but for most cases, these are the exact people who haven’t tried out to design just yet. Like Math, Design needs to be learned in a span of a long time. It takes a lot of focus, skill, patience and ideas. This is where designers come into place. They’re the best at that because they already have the attributes needed to design. Not only do they have the skills but more importantly, they just have their heart and soul into it.
