Prepare for an essay about whether punishing various forms of free speech is
ultimately negative or positive. You must develop a claim and conduct research to
find sources that support the claim. You must also create an outline that will guide
the drafting of your essay.

Your assignment should include the following elements:

● A claim that expresses your opinion about the topic

● A research question that guides your search for sources

● Evidence from sources that you find through research

● An outline that organizes your claim, supporting reasons, and evidence

You should have completed a draft of this assignment in the activity before this one.
If you haven't done so, go back and complete that activity now.

Ask yourself these questions as you revise:

● Does my claim take a clear stand on the issue of free speech? Does it express an
opinion that some people are likely to disagree with?

● Is my research question broad enough to require several sources to answer? Is it

narrow enough that I can eventually find a satisfying answer?
 ● Is my evidence both credible and relevant? Are the author and publication of each
source trustworthy? Is the information in each source supported by other
sources? Is each source transparent about where it got its information?

● Does my outline organize my reasons and evidence thoroughly and clearly?

Use this rubric to determine how well you're meeting the criteria for the assignment.
Punishing any form of free speech is something negative because it mutilates
people's opinion and a country that does not know the needs of their people will not
be a country capable of fulfilling those needs. Evidence of this is the situation in
North Korea. International organizations that fight for human rights have repeatedly
denounced the lack of freedom of expression in Asian countries.

In particular, North Koreans and tourists visiting the country are prohibited from
criticizing or insulting former leaders, Kim Jong-il and Kim ii-sung, as well as Kim
Jong-un, or the state´s political system. For example, foreigners, as well as North
Korean citizens, should bow and deposit flowers in front of the monuments of the
deceased leaders to pay tribute to them.

As a consequence of it, something visible is the relationship that North Korea keeps
with the rest of the world: Tourism in North Korea is organized by the state agency
´´Korea International Travel Company´´ and it is highly controlled by the North Korea
government. Due to the traditional isolation of the country, it is not a widely visited
international destination and only about 1, 500 Western visitors usually visit it per
year. Being isolated in times of globalization is a negative aspect of healthy and
diverse human development, which is why punishing freedom of speech is
something negative.
