Eight Values of Free Expression

I read each one of the Eight Values of Free Expression. The one that I would say stood out to me the most would probably be Individual Self-Fulfillment, which is also known as Self-Actualization. C. Edwin Baker wrote Human Liberty and Freedom of Speech and said, "Free speech enables individuals to express themselves and thereby create their own identity - and, in the process perhaps, find kindred spirits. Freedom of speech thus becomes an aspect of human dignity, human agency, and autonomy."




Individual Self-Fulfillment (aka Self-Actualization) mostly centers around Freedom of speech and Freedom of Expression. Here is a video that explains exactly what Self-Actualization is. I choose this value out of all of them because I believe that free speech is important in order to express yourself which helps create your own identity. I decided to include this video because it explains exactly what Self-Actualization is in detail. In the video, it basically explains the concept that we are constantly involving as people each day. The person you were five years ago and the person you are today are very different, but that is a good thing. As we grow and get older we create more and more goals for ourselves to fulfill.
