Article: Stoneman Douglas High School shooting

Stoneman Douglas High School shooting#cite note-60

  • Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
    • Yes, the information in the article is relevant to the topic. The only thing that distracted me was comments about Trump such as what he tweeted and how he posed in pictures.
  • Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
    • The article seems aimed towards anti-gun laws and restricting laws.
  • Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
    • Viewpoints overrepresented are how Nikolas Cruz hurt himself and made threats.
    • Viewpoints underrepresented are the aftermath of the shooting and the information on his family life.
  • Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?
    • Yes, the citations work and support the claims made in the article.
  • Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?
    • Yes, most facts come from a news station such as NBC, BBC, Washington Post, The New York TImes and more. Most of these sources are neutral but TMZ is cited and not a reliable source in my opinion.
  • Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
    • No information is out of date considering the event just happened on February 14, 2018. Information could have been added pertaining to stories relating to the victims, families, or information regarding Cruz being kicked out.

    • Rated to low importance articles
  • How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?
    • The article doesn't talk about how culture puts pressure on men to behave a certain way. There is a man box for the American man and the article doesn't talks about how cruz was mentally.

Assigned Article Editing

Feminist businesses are companies established by activists involved in the feminist movement. Examples include women's bookstores, feminist credit unions, feminist presses, feminist mail-order catalogs, and feminist restaurants. These businesses flourished as part of the second and third-waves of feminism in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Feminist entrepreneurs established organizations such as the Feminist Economic Alliance to advance their cause. Feminist entrepreneurs sought three primary goals: to disseminate their ideology through their businesses, to create public spaces for women and feminists, and to create jobs for women so that they didn't have to depend on men financially. While they still exist today, the number of some feminist businesses, particularly women's bookstores, has declined precipitously since 2000.[1][2][3][4]

Notes for improving:

What's missing from this article are examples of feminist businesses, women who have impacted the business world, names of women in the business world, how they were treated by males in the business world, how they found their way to owning a business, and also their contributions to the business society and other women.

Expand on the activist who established feminist businesses. Although examples are given for businesses created, include specific names.

Talk about the three ideologies and where they came from or how they were established.

Also expand on why the feminist businesses are declining and what the leading factors are to the decline.
