I am very lucky to have been born where I was. The United Kingdom is not perfect, it has many problems but at the heart of British culture is the belief that we are all free to have an opinion. We all have the right to know the truth, no matter how bad it is. I am proud to say that my country has some of the best media in the world, it is free to say what it wants, when it wants, about anybody it wants. I can not imagine this freedom being taken away from my country. • In this is talk I will provide a persuasive argument that states governments should not censor TV and media.
• Open with a quote • The famous animator Walt Disney once said;
A man should never neglect his family for business. This statement is something I think most people forget, in life it is easy when we are busy with work to forget about the most important people in our lives, our family.
In this presentation I will argue that;
It is not ok to take jobs far away from our families

• Example Prisons are places that we go to when we break the law. It is not a place we go to when we commit a minor offence it is a place we go to when we do something really bad. Of different countries send people to prison for different reasons but for whatever reason people are sent there for, there is a controversy that surrounds the question of what should prisons do when they get to jail?
