		It should also be remembered that, while freedom of expression must contribute to dialogue, discussion and the quest for consensus and agreement, it must also allow respect for the resolution of conflicts and for those who support them, as well as respect for minorities.
		On the day when freedom of expression in its fullest sense becomes a reality, we shall then perhaps be in a better position to build new nations in which interculturality is also a reality.

		Freedom of expression is essential for the establishment and sustenance of a good democratic state.
		However, it is also true that the freedom of expression is often abused, especially throughout the process of political scrutiny, producing destructive material that may violate the rights of others and damage the harmony of the society.
		Therefore, even though freedom of expression is essential for democratic governance, it is limited on reasonable grounds such as the protection of the rights and reputation of others, prevention of libel and slander, maintenance of public order, and the protection of national security.

		But, he argues, none of these standard purposes of free expression is served by categorically protecting commercial expression (and, when one of the purposes is served by protecting an instance of commercial expression, we should see the protection as flowing from some feature of the expression other than its commercial aspect).
		In successive chapters Shiner asks whether freedom of commercial expression is a right of autonomy, whether it is a right derivative of the rights of hearers, whether commercial expression assists in self-realization, and whether regulating commercial expression is unjustifiable paternalism.
		Shiner concludes by noting that “[t]he friends of the commercial expression doctrine call upon the professional skills of the advertiser to influence judicial reasoning,” and that the “drumbeat” of the associated rhetoric “is as relentless, and if one is not careful as hypnotic, as in any Brazilian football crowd or heavy-metal extravaganza” (p.331).
