Points well taken
There's probably a line to be drawn, at least in the United States, regarding democratic organizations and free speech and of course the government. Sometimes it also depends on your position in an organization when it comes to free speech. Should it be that way? Who knows. In an ideal world maybe it should be but my experience with companies would suggest they tolerate much less in the area free thought, especially by those toward the bottom. They say they don't, like Wal-Mart I guess, but that's probably not reality. Government should be another story. There's an easy argument to make those that govern don't care either, but I'm not convinced, and I'm pretty cynical by nature, it or those in control, don't listen at times. I do think those companies that will listen to employees thrive, but then again it may depend on how big it is.
makes good sense...
good luck in the contest!
Interesting, but...
I think I saw a documentary on PBS or NPR that was as inspired. The facts are true, but not exciting or emotional to the average reader. Amnesty International is a good source. Good luck in the contest.
Business versus Government.
In a nation with basic legal protections of free speech you can theoretically criticize government policies and officials to your heart's content.
Unless you are a slave or indentured servant, you can freely choose to seek or leave employment with a business and that company can hire or fire you just as freely. If the company's managers or owners don't like something you've said, they can't shoot you or lock you in the basement for years (at least not without opening themselves up to arrest and prosecution), but they can certainly fire your posterior. They can't prevent you from speaking, but they don't have to subsidize your speech by paying your salary.
Most people don't seem to appreciate this not-so-fine distinction.
