Should modern society be criticized for being materialistic?

  "People can be so easily controlled by a piece of paper" is a common quote of modern society. Some people do not know how to use money very well and that is what can cause criticism in modern day society. But although the world revolves around money, there is no need for criticism because there is always a reason on why society is so heavily focused on money or being "materialistic" as people say. Lets take for example, a community needs money to improve themselves, the people, and the ecosystem. That may be a good reason to many people, and of course people are going to have different points of views whether to oppose or be against such reason. Criticism can also be seen as stating another opinion, there is never a right or wrong so it is never ending. There should always be criticism because it will lead to being more open minded in their thoughts. Sometimes people mistaken criticism for insults and insulting should never be okay since it never solves anything, rather destroys it.

Is it necessary to limit or put restrictions on freedom of thought and expression?

    Everyone has a mind of their own without a doubt. People have come up with many great ideas and have expressed it through speech. The bill of rights allows freedom of speech so I think there should not be a restriction of thought and expression. If there was a restriction of freedom of thought, then the earth itself would be restricted because everyone's minds would be so narrow minded. As one said, "a narrow mind is a angry mind", so it is vital to be open minded about everything no matter if you do not agree. 

   MLK, also known as Martin Luther King wanted equality among the blacks and whites. Well, in general he wanted all races to get along. He ended the segregation due to his expression of thought. Without him, many races would be segregated. But although he stopped segregation, he didn't stop racism. Nevertheless, he is a great example of freedom of thought. Many people were narrow minded of his ideas which lead to riots. Like stated before, a narrow mind is a angry mind. But what is done, is done and he has made a great contribution to USA.

  Many countries have different opinions on what can be said and what one can express. Just like many people have different opinions of everything. This does not mean that one can be narrow minded for not taking in different opinions. At times one can be right on what to in take and what not to in take. For instance, if one thinks killing an animal for fun is great and the other doesn't. He is not to be blamed because he has morals. Someone cannot kill an animal for fun, only if you have a purpose. This is not societies view of "wrong", it is a natural view of right and wrong which is already intagrated within us. 

  One of the worlds topic of discussion may be homosexuality. There are free thinkers who agree with it, and people who are against. None of them are wrong for expressing their freedom of thought. At times, both sides need to in take each others ideas and become neutral about it rather than be in conflict 99% of the time. Whether homosexuality is wrong or right to people, everyone must either agree, disagree or even have a neutral stance. There is no need to bash, but nonetheless it is necessary to never have a limit on speech.

  Furthermore, without freedom of speech the world itself would have a tiny mind. With freedom of thought, speech and expression, not only does the earth have more potential but many great minds to represent. It is necessary that everyone needs to have a voice. The quiet ones tend to be the most potential. It's vital to be a leader and express your thoughts, gain followers with similar thoughts. As one says, "great minds think alike". Like social media, the more followers the better. Even ones potential can be retweeted. #barz
