Editor,The media can build durable peace and development. Freedom of speech should not be abused and people should not be allowed to endanger world peace under the cover of freedom of expression.

In a perfect world, freedom of speech would always be used responsibly. But no society can be accountable for the actions of every individual all the time. When this freedom is abused, it has the capability to cause offence, violence and even death. It is a heavy price to pay. Good Piece!!!
