Blog Post #3 -Eight Values

 I agree with promoting innovation, promoting innovation means that our first amendment, freedom of speech is protected and respected. I think that it is very important for people to speak their minds in an appropriate setting because with this being done, it enables communities of certain groups to express similar interests as well as voice their opinions. By doing so, people can get a better understanding of where certain people stand with certain topics and either avoid future conflicts or be able to discuss them in a civil manner, which is something that I feel as though we greatly lack in today's society. If we carried some of these values today and were able to discuss opposing topics in a civilized manner then I feel as though our nation would not be as divided as it is today. With that being said, people do greatly exercise their first amendment, but not in a way that is well appreciated.  (incomplete)
