The right to one’s freedom of speech is very important to the Republic of Korea. Among all things necessary for a successful republic, is the happiness of our people. We can’t stress enough the importance of the piety amongst the Republic of Korea. It is humanly right to speak your mind. As long as there are no acts of violence that have put other lives in danger.
No one’s opinion is better than anyone elses. Therefore, the Republic of Korea encourages that if there is anything that needs to be said then, you should do it in a non-violent manner. We won’t pay attention to the violent people, we will simply arrest them, and hope that they will find a better way to speak their mind the next time around. It’s difficult to meet everyone’s needs. That is understandable. However, we recommend other countries do the same. We want to keep in mind our people, and that they are indeed living, breathing humans that walk this Earth. We can simply listen to them, or let them make a statement. Whether or not other countries choose to act upon is a different topic in its entirety.
As the Republic of Korea, we hope that others keep in mind that all people have feelings. We need to listen to them. Of course, not everyone’s ideas are acceptable. However, every person is entitled to their own opinion. This is what the Republic of Korea proposes. We need to protect the human right to peaceful protest in order to increase the happiness of our people. Not all of them will be angry if they don’t succeed. In conclusion, they will be happy with the act of nonviolence being a benefactor in their protest.
