Journal 23: Address an Issue

i find this a extremely difficult journal to talk about. Why? because from starting to brainstorm about this topic have caused me enough trouble to figure out what is it that im gonna talk about.
The one thing that i find is of the most importance now is the freedom of speech. China is limiting the people's rights of freedom of expression. It has caused a great deal of opposition and pretty much dislike and kind of a disapproval between countries that they find pretty oppressing.
Democracy is the new trend of this century and it is something that most people would appreciate if they can have it. If such is the case where your freedom is limited, then you will have much disapproval among the people.
What is my issue in the local? i wouldn't even call it local. Its something that is near my community that i face right now. Which is also the freedom of speech. I find myself being watched even outside of my community. I'm watched, and i have to watch what i say all the time now. Im being watched probably right now because of a recent event.
That's pretty much the local issue i find interesting and annoying. Global issue that i am concern of is also the freedom of speech. People have the right to do what they want, if the law is to limit their basic rights such as expressing ideas, then that's just wrong. You can say something bad about them too, but not just resricting it to something you can't do. The 21st century idea is democracy and that we can express our voting rights and all idea freely. Our minds are free, but now is not the case around the world. Lots of places are not free and much is restricted.
Thats what im basically going to talk about.
