I do believe that our free speech is worth the ups and downs to help us gain a variety of views and knowledge in general. The second article, “Millennials Are Creating a More Inclusive and Just World,” stood out as an important article. Using free and open speech is important, but what is even more important is speaking out about major issues openly with others to spread awareness or at least some sort of understanding. In this article, it focuses on students who endure sexual assault who come forward to speak about it. I learned that the affected students are learning how to effectively and appropriately share their stories and spread awareness while doing so in an ethical and academic way.

1. Introduction:
Vietnam is a developing country and its education is developing as well but there are still many limitations such as corruption, outdated curriculum and so on. However, I still chose to believe in the education in Vietnam, therefore when I finished high school, I entered the marine university at finance accounting department. During my time at that university, I realized my belief was wrong because most students in Vietnam after graduation were unemployed because of lack of skills
