Defining Freedom of Expression

My name is Mnqobi Duma and I'm a student at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. I am currently studying Management & Communications which appears to be one of the greatest experiences I have ever had in my life. The reason I find this course interesting is that it teaches one how to communicate and be heard in the public. This is one important skill that every individual should acquire since communicating is very important in everyday life.

Full Name Mnqobi Duma, I was born in Umlazi, Durban in the central province of KwaZulu-Natal. One of my goals in life is to have many recipes of being successful. How often do we hear people wanting to be successful without having a plan to place themselves in that position? I believe that once I can make sure that I have constructed a firm foundation, I can never go wrong in life. One thing to know about me is that I'm a part time musician and I like doing more research based on entertainment because I find it very interesting. Another issue that I will be taking into account in this blog is that of teaching the rest of the world about the place that I come from which is Umlazi (Township). A lot of people have wrong perceptions about townships and I am just here to rectify that problem.

I would like to let any reader of this post know that every issue that will be discussed in this blog will be well founded and researched, I promise to use the most effective sources to support my views and arguments about any subject matter that I touch. Sources like the Wikipedia, New York Times, Google, Mail & Guardian will be prominent in this blog cause my aim is to make the posts as interesting as possible. Also keep in mind that I will be referencing from other sources such as TV shows, radio, peers, friends etc just to share views of mass public rather than sole ones. I spend a lot of time watching informative channels that deal with what's happening in the modern era, this is to make sure that I stay intact with what's happening today. My favorite reading sections are those that stress a lot about racial issues and segregation. I like evaluating a lot about the differences that exist between different cultures in the world.

According to my perception, I think that the term 'Freedom of Expression' describes a scenario whereby an individual is able to express what ever views that s/he beholds without any limitations and censorship. I feel it is great for the press to adopt this terminology because the more people are able to express themselves, the more the public gets know the truth and what's affecting the world. We all know that the government tries its best to control the media boundaries within the country, so, it's very vital to have some part of the media that expresses views effectively. Because really, I don't think that there should be limitations on press freedom!
