An essay about communication

Reflection 3 Prompt:

Freedom of speech is an important element of the First Amendment. Briefly explain (in your own words) what “freedom of speech” means. How do you think “freedom of speech” should be treated at the University of Washington? For example, who should be allowed to speak here? what should they be allowed to speak about? what are the limits you’d place on who can speak and what they can speak about? How does the First Amendment’s framing of “freedom of speech” support your positions? Reference explicitly at least one of the readings from week 4.

Your work must be your own original response to this prompt.

A note about reflection structure: 500 words equal about 2 double-spaced pages. You should write in complete sentences, use paragraphs, spell check, and proofread. Also, for each assignment, EVERY word (including quoted words) count toward the total word count.
