Systems of Freedom of expression: Practices and Institutions

• The third of these systems is Practices which are common to both the U.S. and India. this includes procedure, legal doctrine, ethics and politics. Procedures are the series of steps that are predictable. These are the due-process of events. Ethics are distinct from law. They are the expectation of social conduct in a given ethical approach. Ethics depends on culture; what is ethical in China may not be ethical in the U.S. The U.S. source of ethics are the writings on utilitarianism. The founders of utilitarianism are Jeremy Bentham and john Stuart Mill. The Indian source of ethics is the Upanishads. The Upanishads are old texts that are a component of the Vedas which are the oldest cultural documents in the world. 
• The fourth of these systems is Institutions. These include constitutions, courts, media, "culture," adminstrative regulators. These institutions are the supreme courts of the U.S, the U.S. Courts of Appeal and the trial courts in the U.S. district courts.
