Good Afternoon, blog enthusiasts. Today was the first day of the Mixed Teams Tournament on the topic, "Hate speech should be a crime." This resolution brought about many arguments centering around questions of: the relationship between words and violence, the criteria for classifying language as hate speech, and the danger of restricting freedom of expression. This topic is both difficult and fascinating in an international context, where there is such a diversity of culture, experience, and national history. Here at Youth Forum, we are in a context where we are taking advantage of our rights to freedom of expression. The photo to the left illustrate an exchange of thoughts and ideas on this particularly complex topic.
