One of the most basic rights protected in a democracy is that of freedom of speech. Free speech is the idea that citizens deserve to be able to express their ideas without fear of punishment. However, while this right is generally accepted by most governments, it is also known that certain types of speech can be dangerous, damaging or hateful. Therefore, laws are implemented in order to regulate speech to a certain extent.

Balancing these two necessities can be quite difficult. Implementing robust speech protections would mean that the government strongly supports the right of people to speak with no repercussions. However, this would mean that people can attack certain groups (such as women, the LGBTQ+ community, or immigrants, for example) by justifying their actions under the umbrella of freedom of speech. Such behaviour would antagonize particular groups, making it difficult to maintain peace in society. It could also make it difficult for the targeted group to achieve equality in society.

Describe 3-4 experiences that Stephen King shared about his life and explain how those experiences may have influenced him in te
andrezito [222]

Answer and Explanation:

We cannot mention the experiences that King had during his life, without mentioning the moment when he witnessed his friend being hit and killed by a train, when he was a child. Although King claims that it did not influence him at all, we cannot fail to affirm that this is the moment of horror that he lived and that is directly related to his work, but that he can have an influence, even if it is only in the subconscious of King, being exposed when he allows his characters to experience shocking and traumatic moments.

Another experience that King had was the economic difficulty in supporting a family. King married and had children in his youth and had many difficulties in being able to support his family economically. He and his family went through many hardships in relation to money and because of that, King had to deal with the uncertainty and fear of what the future would hold for them. This may have influenced King's work to present very human characters, that in addition to facing supernatural problems, they must deal with real problems of adult life. This allows many readers to identify with the characters.

One last experience to be mentioned is the problem that King faced with alcoholism and drug addiction. This may have been King's most difficult experience, as it made him lose track of reality, a good relationship with his children and wife and the dominance of his life. King's characters constantly deal with these factors, which shows that much of what he writes reflects King's own problems, which makes the work even more palatable, as he manages to write about something he really knows.
