To Ban Or Not To Ban?


Do you think I should be able to ban certain topics, or should you be able to write about anything you would like?  Why do you think I ban topics?







In my opinion, I agree that certain topics should be banned. There are certain topics like Gay marriage and Abortion that are very sensitive subjects for some people.

We live in a society where we are able to voice our own opinions, and sometimes those opinions offend others. With that being said, sometimes freedom of speech comes with many consequences.  
We see many protesters getting out of control, fighting for what they believe in; going to extreme lengths to get their points across. Hurting and destroying many innocent people in the process.

I have always been taught that there are certain subjects to avoid in conversation. Sexuality, religion, politics, people’s rights, cultural beliefs and difference are the type of conversations to avoid.

I believe everyone has a right to their own opinions, thoughts and beliefs. I have no authority to question whether or not it is right or wrong, and I believe that goes for everyone else.

When writing an essay that will be read by our professor, you would want to try and avoid any subject that might offend them, because you would not want to do, or say anything to upset them, especially, if your grade is at stack. I am not saying our professor would ever tamper with our grade out of spite; I am referring to anyone in general. That is why it is extremely important to avoid any sensitive subjects, so, banning certain subjects is the right thing to do.

  1. I agree it's her class she can do what she wants to. The topics she has banned are topics that seem to not really have an answer and are very debatable. Our nations leaders can't even agree or discuss them and they have been trying for years.
