After you write the assignment, submit your paper online in the links provided. Say what you feel. There are no right or wrong answers. From the video, how have Europeans sought to address the problem of freedom of speech? What unique historical and cultural events have contributed to the European view of free speech? E.g. Charlie Hebdo (You can view Charlie Hebdo cartoons on the internet. But remember many of them can be very offensive.) What did Floyd Abrams mean by the First Principles of First Amendment Law?
