Hate Speech_week 4_Question 4


Hate speech are often offensive and deteriorating in its context. It is usually towards a certain group of minority, for instance hate speech could be directed towards the practice of homosexuality, a religious group, and it can also be used in our domestic place of work. Hate speech are mostly birth out of frustration, anger, dissatisfaction of people’s idea or needs, prejudice. The web is one of the means people send hate speech across. In my own words hate speech is a humiliation and demeaning slur of words specifically used to disgrace a person for their race, religion, or sexual habits. There is now a controversy if hate speech should be regulated on college campuses or not. I have read a few articles with the author being either for or against regulating hate speech. My opinion is that yes, we should regulate hate speech on college campuses. I believe hate speech should be regulated or censored on the web, especially when the new age is computerized and it is the medium people use in getting across information to be heard.
