Freedom of speech and freedom of expression

In the context of Singapore's multi racial society, where there is cultural and religious pluralism, i freel that Szilagyi's view should be adopted.
Freedom of expression is essential to any democracy but social responsibility is more important.
According to Singer, freedom of speech is essential to democratic regimes, and it must include the freedom to say what everyone else beliesves to be false, and even what many people find offensive. I do believe that freedom of speech is important in any democratis country include Singapore. However, i feel that freedom of speech will decrease the level of social responsibilty and people will be saying anything they want without thinking of the consequences. They will criticise parliament publicly and disttort racial harmony.
In a multi-racial society like singapore, this will bring about fatal consequences, people will start voicing out all their unhappiness and criticise one another reces. This is likely to cause another racial riots which everyone does not want.
Szilagyi raised the question that what is important for the democratic advancement of a society-to ensure the freedom of expression of all its citizens or to protect the collective interests of society. The former hails individual freedom while the latter places more emphasis on the media's responsibilty in leading an informed, high quality discussion, with the respect for minority rights.
Finally, i feel that media should practise social responsibilty. Media should not publish article or any resources that will provoke one or are not reliable. This will make our society more friendly to live in.
