[edit]Article: Free Speech Movement
[edit]This article is mainly about the background, origin and the influence of the Free Speech Movement (FSM).
Organization of the article:
- The overall organization of the article is clear
- There are some minor issues:
- The table of contents have some confusing names like "1964-1965", "1966-1970"; the title may refer to a specific period or a phase of the movement, but they didn't make sense until the reader has read through the entire paragraphs under it.
Sources Cited
- The article cited a vast amount of outside sources, after reviewing the outside source list, most of the sources are from UC Berkeley Free Speech Movement website. Since Berkeley is the Birthplace of the Free Speech Movement, sources from this archive is pretty reliable. Also there are sources from the school newspaper - Daily Californian
- However, in the background section, I do have found some of the sources that are not quite reliable: one source is from University of Illinois at Chicago. I cannot access this source since the link has directed me to a forbidden page. The writer should have provided more concrete sources.
- Some other facts provided in the article lacked sources to prove the reliability. The writer should have cited more evidences.
Relevance
- The contents in the article are indeed relevant about the Free Speech Movement. However, since the Free Speech Movement nowadays is an important and sensitive topic, the article failed to point out the importance and the influences in the perspectives of society and culture.
- The article also lacks information about the background of the Free Speech Movement. The article only provides a brief background of FSM. It should have provided a deeper explanation.

Choose Possible Topics
[edit]These are our potential articles:
- The article didn't specify the amount of fund used to provide campus security. I would add information that the school spent $800,000 for security during his brief speech at UC Berkeley in.
- Besides the fund used for the security, Milo's appearance on campus caused chaos and other disruptions. The series of events happened afterwards gave UC Berkeley high pressure.
- Milo also appeared during the "Free Speech Week", which was a event organized by a student group on Berkeley Campus. However, the organization was chaotic and the Free Speech Week event was eventually cancelled
- Add information from the article UC Berkeley protests: Milo Yiannopoulos planned to 'publicy name undocumented students' in cancelled talk.
2) Gentrification of San Francisco
- Add in the tech world/ Silicon Valley's impact on gentrification, which is mentioned in the article "Low-income families face eviction as building 'rebrands' for Facebook workers"
- The article also lacks information mentioning the freeway battle that occurred between residents and the wealthier community of San Francisco in the late 1950s/early 60s.
3) Mexico–United States barrier
- Add information on how the Mexico - United States Barrier as well as the wall that President Trump is planning to construct would potentially affect the immigrant rights.

Executive Order 13769 (Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States):
Trump's Executive Order 13769 caused an international outcry. Responses on social media were seen immediately, hashtags such as #BanTrumpFromUK, #Muslimban, #travelban were seen all over social media platforms, such as Twitter. Shortly after, protests quickly emerged urging for the cancellation of Trump's UK visit. Such petitions garnered upwards to 1.5 million signatures. Social media was also utilized as a tool to provide the details of the protests around the world in order to increase attention and attendance. Celebrities, including Seth Rogan, Bruce Springsteen and Ashton Kutcher, were also very active on the ban, using their powerful presence on platforms to bring attention to and to speak out against Executive Order 13769. Some took it to twitter and voiced their opinions, while others projected their thoughts during their acceptance speeches at the SAG awards.
What's missing:
- Social media reaction on the Executive Order 13769:
- Popular hashtags
- MuslimBan: On June 12, after the occurrence of the 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting, Trump used Twitter to renew his call for a Muslim immigration ban. On June 13 Trump proposed to suspend immigration from "areas of the world" with a history of terrorism, a change from his previous proposal to suspend Muslim immigration to the U.S. The hashtag became popular on Twitter and opposition to the Executive Order widely spread among all social media platforms.
- TravelBan: Social media hashtag to the same instance after Trump announced the immigration ban on Twitter.
- Resist
- Celebrities' reactions on social media and which celebrities participated
- Seth Rogen: Seth Rogen himself is an immigrant from Russia. He explicitly expressed his opposition towards the Executive Order. And he used #MuslimBan in his Twitter Post
- Mindy Kaling: Mindy is the descendant of Indian Hindu, and she expressed her compassion for those who are banned to enter America.
- Bruce Springsteen, Ashton Kutcher, Taraji P. Henson, Dev Patel, Sarah Paulson, Julia Louis-Dreyfus also expressed their plea to embrace those immigrants via different mediums.
- President Trump's reaction on Twitter
- Trump has also defended his executive order through Twitter. On January 29, he tweeted: "Our country needs strong borders and extreme vetting, NOW. Look what is happening all over Europe and, indeed, the world - a horrible mess!"[1] On Monday, he continued to tweet, where he "de-emphasized the number of travelers affected by the hasty implementation of the travel ban", according to Business Insider.[2] It was also written in The Washington Post that his tweets were intended to minimize the impact the executive order had on travelers.[3] In several other tweets on Monday, he blamed travel delays on a Delta airline computer outage, "protesters and the tears of Senator Schumer".[2] The computer outage Trump referred to actually occurred on Sunday January 29, two days after the order was signed.[4] Trump defended the executive order on Twitter, stating that searching for terrorists is not about being "nice" and that "[i]f the ban were announced with a one week notice, the 'bad' would rush into our country during that week. A lot of bad 'dudes' out there!"[2] On February 1, Trump tweeted, "Everybody is arguing whether or not it is a BAN. Call it what you want, it is about keeping bad people (with bad intentions) out of country!"[5] On February 4, in response to James Robart's block of the Executive Order, Trump tweeted "What is our country coming to when a judge can halt a Homeland Security travel ban and anyone, even with bad intentions, can come into U.S.?" and later "Because the ban was lifted by a judge, many very bad and dangerous people may be pouring into our country. A terrible decision".[6]
