This persuasive essay will inform the readers on why governments are wrong to impose restrictions on the freedom of speech. Analysis The freedom of speech is enshrined under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and established as an international human right (Hallberg et al 4). Freedom of Speech is a fundamental part of any democratic government because the only way progress or truth can be used, as a pillar for development for a nation is when there is a healthy competition of ideas. However, detractors from this train of thought purport that censorship should be imposed on individuals who promote hate speech. This persuasive essay would like to propose that at no given time should the freedom of speech be limited.
