Has person who is more intelligent or from upper social class right to silence his/her friend who is below?

I have seen this happening sometimes and experienced it also. It can happen between boys and between girls. If she for example think麓s she is brighter and better in speaking than her friend she can put her hand over her mouth and keep it there for awhile and a friend who is from lower social class accepts it and let麓s it happen. Do you think it is a right way of acting, showing to one from lower level his/her place in hierarchy? And at a same time kind of indicating that she can not rise from there or make her try harder?|||From your description of the society you live in it appears to me that you live in a rigid caste society.





In that type of society, which I am not familiar with at all, it will be up to the established norms of that society.





In the US, Freedom of Speech, is a basic freedom. To be able to express ones opinion, by law, is protected to the utmost degree. It is not to say however, that we do not have a social structure that can sometimes limit that free expression, but only to the extent that a person can not be silenced due to the view point. The right to express ones self always exists, a person may have to look for a venue to express it, but the right is always there.|||everyone is entitiled to their view and opinion. No one has the right to say it's not right or valid.|||what.... no they shouldn't have that right|||Not the right, but if the "lower" person allows it to happen then it will.|||well, no. thats completely wrong.|||Freedom of speech is the concept of being able to speak freely without censorship. The right to freedom of speech is guaranteed under international law through numerous human rights instruments, notably under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, although implementation remains lacking in many countries. The synonymous term freedom of expression is sometimes preferred, since the right is not confined to verbal speech but is understood to protect any act of seeking, receiving and imparting information or ideas, regardless of the medium used.|||absolutely NOT.


a person has the same right to have and voice an opinion,


no matter what their economic status.


ESPECIALLY


when it is based on their PARENT'S status...|||no way... I think it depends on a persons self esteem.





i've seen plenty of upper social class (as you say) girls as well as women keep their mouths shut and let the guy talk because they feel men are still better than them.





i've seen tons of lower social class people Not shut up, but revolt and stand up for what they believe and not let upper social class hold them down.





so i think your completely wrong in your ideas.
