Certain individuals and groups can express ideas on superiority of a certain race, religion or nation, with the intention to humiliate all those not belonging to "žtheir" group, as well as to incite to exile, isolation and even genocide.

These phenomena highlight the discussion on freedom of expression, its limitations and abuse of this freedom. "The transition we are in and the situation with the media, including the poor "word" culture, is fertile ground for such public dissemination or fuelling of hatred, without any sense of responsibility for the uttered word, which becomes the main generator of the social climate of intolerance and prejudice on national, ethnic and other grounds, which is emerging as a general psychological framework for expansion of all forms of hate crimes- from physical to verbal and psychological violence: " Surbhi Suryavanshi"Article 19(A) Freedom of Speech and Expression" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-2 | Issue-5 , August 2018, URL: http://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd17131.pdf http://www.ijtsrd.com/management/law-and-management/17131/article-19a-freedom-of-speech-and-expression/surbhi-suryavanshi
