Dicipline Vs Restriction
Hi Friends, Today's TOI carries a new regarding closure of newspaper which reported false news about Putin. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/World/Daily_shut_down_over_Putin_affair/articleshow/2964631.cms Now we will find several voices explaining "Freedom Of Speech", "Free Press" and all those thing lead Capatilism to succeed and Communism to fall. People will also give example of restriction in China, Iran, Russia, Cuba and other countries who do not polish USA's apple. I am not freedom of ex-pression but what puzzles me is "How to follow the thin line which seperates Freedom of ex-pression from Voilation of person's rights". Lets take few examples: 1. Publishing of Prophet Mohammad's Cartoons (offcourse in bad taste) is termed as "freedom of ex-pression" while Ahmednijad's version of WTC Bombing is "hurting sentiments of people" 2. Russian closure of paper will be termed as "Restriction on freedom" while crackdown on any channel (Al-Zazeera was even bombed) which goes against CIA comes under "enforcing dicipline"
Going beyond these examples: 1. Can enforcing ban on mobile in campus be treated as restriction on once social connectivty? 2. Earlier "use of stick by teacher" was treated as a part of diciplining student, today it is treated as inhuman.
Is it just the way how a powerful defines "freedom" & "restriction"? or Is there any universal defination?
What I feel is that a clearcut demarcation between dicipline and voilation can not be done until universal brotherhood is there where the other person is treated as you woul have liked to be treated. This can only be possible when all the human needs of everybody has been fulfilled. (Which is difficult without dicipline because of greedy human nature)
Do you have any solution?
