Promote Innovation is one of the most valuable Eight Values of Free Expression
This value states that "A community in which free speech is valued and protected is likely to be a more energized, creative, interesting society as its citizens actively fulfill themselves in many diverse and interesting ways."
I feel that if a community is forever trying to innovate and better one's self no one matter how that community is thriving. In today's society, most citizens are closed-minded and have only a black and white way to view the world.
By Promoting Innovation society is told not to look at the world through a black and white lens. If more citizens would exercise their right to free speech, society as a whole would have a different viewpoint and an open mindset. By using your ability of free speech you feel more accomplished as a citizen, you can make your mark in society and have your voice be heard. Not only do you personally have a fulfillment but you also have the satisfaction of knowing you advocated for a good cause.

When Americans use their ability to free speech, they are making society as a whole more diverse by showing their viewpoint. This, in turn, makes a more creative and active society, it helps citizens of a community feel like they belong in that community. Below is a great video of why free is important, how it benefits the community and the citizens especially on a college campus.
Personally, I feel the most important part of that statement is one of the very first parts, "A community in which free speech is valued" The word valued is a very important one, this means that the community is respecting the free speech, considering it, and truly attempting to understand it. This is where a thriving society will come from.
Jack Blakin is the founder of this idea and author of Living Organism, the book that goes into major detail about this concept. This book argues the idea that conflict is not the answer, yet society needs to focus on being compatible, which is the best version of living. It also touches on subjects like civil rights and liberty. While both Liberals and Conservatives working through there differences play a very important role in working through constitutional construction.
In conclusion Promote Innovation from one of the eight speech theories is easily one of the most important, underrated, and inspiring. It makes me want to make sure my ability to free speech is being used in order to speak my mind. It will make society better, make me feel fulfilled as an active citizen, and over help the community as a whole.
