The right to Freedom of Expression Integrity & Ethics in Journalism
\nMichel Foucault on Confinement and Parrhesia | John Stuart Mill on Freedom of Expression
\nTerritory The object of study for this project is the human right to freedom of expression, with a particular focus on discussing the extent that this right should be exercised \u2013 particularly within the Journalism sector. Establishing the value of freedom of expression will assist in evaluating how important this right is to contemporary society.
\nModern examples of defending oneself by using the principle of freedom of expression will assist in understanding the relevance of freedom of expression within the modern day. Philosophical Concepts The first concept applied to this territory is John Stuart Mill\u2019s discussion of the necessity of the right to freedom of expression: this project looks at both his reasons for freedom of expression and why he postulates this argument.
\nThe second concept is Michel Foucault\u2019s historical philosophy. Foucault\u2019s work in Fearless Speech will discuss the Greek expression, parrhesia, which translates as a verbal activity designating one to tell the truth despite the risk of differing from the majority and risking danger.
\nThis project will also discuss Foucault\u2019s Madness and Civilisation in order to consider how society can treat those who express themselves in forms that differ to those in traditional society. This concept will lead the project to ask whether we truly do have true freedom of expression.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
