I chose to evaluate a recent article written about the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting that took place on February 14 by a man named Nicolas Cruz. The majority of the information was on spot and gave accurate details about the event but I did find one thing distracting, which was the author quoted a tweet from Donald Trump at the very end nuking what he said. It did not seem relevant to anything the person was speaking about before. The article seemed neutral because most of the information was just fast that had happened expect for the quoting of Donald Trump at the end, which could persuade minds into think this was about politics and that the rest of the information might be biased because of the political tweet at the end. The links in body paragraph worked fine however, the some of links containing the references did not work and I could not access those articles in which he quoted. The information seems to come from non-biased sources that remain neutral and state what what the incident was about. Since this a very recent event all of the information is up to date but the author could have added in a lot more about the topic. This article differ from how we talk about masculinity and the cause of mass shootings in are gender studies course, because they don't explain the reason behind the violence. They even quote the man at one point in the article as "the alleged shooter", a gender neutral term for the shooter. This article does not explore in depth the causes and reason this massacre took place and thats what are gender studies course does, step back find the root to this problem with male aggression and violence. |
