Bring Vocab books to class on Thursday!

At 8:38 PM, Daniel Eissmann Purple said...: Note:
the title of article (put the title in quotation marks): “The Data of Hate”
the author of article: Seth Stephens-Davidowitz
date published: July 13, 2014
Then answer ….
What important issue, idea, concern, practice, or THEME is addressed in the article? (write in a 2-3 sentences)
The theme of the article is white nationalism. A site called Stormfront contains white members who are discriminate against other races.
Note three things that you learned from the article that you didn’t know:
1. Montana is the most involved on the site and Hawaii is the least involved.
2. The biggest increase in membership to Stormfront was the day after Obama was elected.
3. Seventy-six percent of American users of Stormfront identify as ages 14-29
Note two things that you found interesting and you want to know more about:
1. Jews are the most discriminated group on Stormfront. I want to know why they are the most discriminated.
2. Most stromfront users are male; however, a good percentage are female. I want to know what is attracting females toward the site since it is obvious that males are more attracted to the site.
Note one question that you now have about any of the information:
1. Why do people participate on the site when they could end up in trouble with the law because of
information that can be linked to a crime, most likely a hate crime?
