Both videos emphasized the importance of freedom of speech, but also understanding what this means in different circumstances. The crash course video looked into when freedom of speech can cause problems as it only protects you in certain situations which is something I had never thought about. He looks into how speaking out in certain situations, such as at work or school does not mean you are protected. Stephen Fry’s video looked at civil disobedience and how that has been used throughout history. He uses examples such as Rosa Parks and Ghandi to show how actions of civil disobedience and how they have been able to inspire people to make changes to laws in society as a result of their actions.
