The Freedom To Express

Hello everyone! My name is Dinolan Pillay, I am 18years of age and I am a 1st year University student. I am born and raised in Durban, South Africa and I love the atmosphere to death. I study at the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal, Howard campus. The course that i am studying is a Bachelor of Social Science, in the field of geography and environmental management. My hope and dream as a University student is to obtain a Masters degree in the course that I am studying. Most of all, I am trying to have as much fun as possible while I am still young.

In South Africa our technology is not as advanced as the U.S.A, Great Britain ect. Although we still have the same resources of the news that these countries have. I am very lucky to have all the resources offered like, newspapers, TV, internet and many more, but South Africa is a developing country and it is not available to lots of people. The newspapers I have access to are namely, The Daily News, The Post, Sunday Times and many others. I have access to premium TV channels that broadcast news 24/7, they are CNN, e news, Sky news, Euro news and many others. Internet services are available to me and I mostly read the news on The New York Times website. Newspapers are available in South African languages, but TV and Internet services allow me to get news in many languages from around the world. What i enjoy watching on TV is sport, adventure and comedy. The things that i most enjoy reading is books on technology and entertainment magazines.

Now my attention turns to "Freedom of Expression". Freedom of expression can be explained in many different ways, but i am going to give you my understanding of the term. To me "Freedom of Expression" means that every person has the right to express his/her personal views and opinions. They have no one that can tell them that you cannot say all that they want to.
