this is another body paragraph to my research paper. can I get this one proofread as well thanks!
Both Japan and the United States protect freedoms of speech and press by similar provisions in each nation’s constitution. For example, the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution holds that “Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or the press.” While the Japanese Kenpō Article XXI promises that, “freedom of speech, press and all other forms of expression are guaranteed. No censorship shall be maintained, or shall the secrecy of any means of communication be violated.” Both countries also recognize protection for opinion or fair comment on matters of public concern. However in the U.S. only pure opinion which does not imply a noticeable fact has complete First Amendment Protection. In Japan such statements are treated as an opinion or comment when facts alleged in the statement regarding other individuals cannot be proved by evidence and an allegation when the facts can be proved by evidence.
Should I post my proofreading requests in one thread rather than making several?
1. Print out two copies.
2. Give one copy to another person who is willing to help you. Keep one copy for yourself.
3. Ask the other person to read your paragraph aloud to you.
4. Make corrections.
Re-do this process.
THEN repost here for someone to check for you.
Both Japan and the United States uphold the principles of freedom of speech and press, as stated in their respective constitutions. In the United States, the First Amendment explicitly states that "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or the press." Similarly, the Japanese constitution, known as Kenpō, guarantees freedom of speech, press, and all other forms of expression in Article XXI. Importantly, both countries emphasize the absence of censorship and the protection of communication privacy.
Both Japan and the United States also acknowledge the need to protect opinion and fair comment on matters of public interest. However, there are slight differences in the way these protections are applied. In the United States, the First Amendment offers complete protection for pure opinions that do not imply verifiable facts. In other words, individuals are free to express subjective opinions without fear of legal repercussions.
Contrastingly, in Japan, statements that cannot be proven by evidence are considered opinions or comments when referring to other individuals. However, if factual evidence can support the claims made in such statements, they are treated as allegations. This distinction underscores the importance of substantiating claims with evidence in Japan's legal framework.
In summary, both Japan and the United States share common ground in safeguarding freedom of speech and press. However, variations exist in the legal interpretation of statements that involve factual allegations, with the United States granting more significant protection to pure opinions.
