Discrimination is Legal
This final argumentative essay was my favorite to write all semester. I originally had no idea as to what I was going to write about. I had people that kept telling me to write about something that I am passionate about, and I am passionate about a lot of things, like food! I was able to come up with a long list of objects and TV shows that I am passionate about, but when it came to what I should write about I was drawing a complete blank. Finally during my history class my teacher mentioned the First Amendment and I'm not sure why, but I started to think about it. I realized how unfair it is that hate speech is practically protected by the First Amendment; so I began my research. In writing this paper I learned how to better write a fact or information from a specific source and then comment on the information. Writing this paper has helped me in more ways then one. I became a better at writing commentary, I learned that there are people who think that taking hate speech out of the First Amendment goes against their rights, and I realized that something needs to be done about hate speech, for it has caused more damage then good.
Final Draft
This final draft went through a decent amount of reconstruction before reaching the point where it is currently. I had many grammatical errors that I corrected and also there were a lot of sentences that needed to be reworded. I had a few quotes that needed to become block quotes so I fixed those and I had a few punctuation errors as well that I corrected. This draft took a long time to write, I was editing for a very long time, but I caught many errors. I changed the focus of one of my original starting points to focus more on how the discrimination in America is effected by hate speech. And finally, I was able to finish my paper.

Rough Draft/ Peer Review
Writing this rough draft was rough to say the least. I did not really know where to begin, so I figured a good place to start was with what the First Amendment and hate speech are. I then described why I think that hate speech should not be included in the First Amendment. In my first point I talk about hate crimes against people with different skin color and how hate speech is used in these instances. In my second point I talk about cyberbullying and how hate speech was the cause of many cyberbullying cases. Cyberbullying is becoming even more popular now and with hate speech being a protected right, anyone can use hate speech online as well as in person. Lastly, my third point was about the discrimination that occurs throughout the streets of America. While writing this topic I was almost always angry, because of how people abuse this right, and I cannot stand that hate speech in a protected right in our Constitution.
