I did some work for our group project "Doorsclosing". I created a Facebook page, worked on our Wordpress, and wrote a submission for my portion of our site.Since I am new to the…See More

What if Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) protest took place now?

Sitting in Bruce Evensen's 501 class and we are watching clips of WCTU and their non-violent protest against alcohol. Hearing about this nation wide protest reminded me of the different #occupy that are taking place around the globe currently. So what if WCTU's protest took place today instead of the early 1870s. What would it look like? Would it have made a bigger impact than it did then?Social media also played a big part on the #occupy being a world wide movement. I also wonder if WCTU's…See More

Chicago vs. New York

Occupy Wall Street reach mainstream media because of an isolated event that happened in New York. The YouTube video, where the police were pepper spraying protesters, has spread like wild-fire and has brought awareness to the issue. However, as Chicago jumps on the bandwagon it is lacking some of the fundamental organizational tools, which the New York protesters have utilized. Compared to New York, Chicago is lacking the sheer number of people and support from groups like Union representatives…See More

Lost in translation

There was a server lack of media coverage at the Chicago protest today.  What I found particularly interesting was a week ago the protests in New York City received a substantial amount of media coverage.  However, it was also the lack of organization that might be to blame.  Given that the majority of the people in attendance didn't really know why they were attending made it an almost lackluster protest that didn't really seem to have a real meaning.  Many people were giving different reasons…See More

"When will something POP OFF....#occupychicago"

It started in New York City 12 days ago, a group of young people joined together to protest on Wall Street. The movement was called #OCCUPYWALLSTREET; a simple twitter hashtag that spawned an organized protest. The issues are varying but the hope is the same they want change.                     A similar movement has started…See More

NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE TO OCCUPY CHICAGO#OCCUPYCHICAGO

After being out with these protesters i see that they were not organized but i feel that they thought to get people to get people to care about their cause they needed chaos the problem was that even though chaos makes ears listen, their still needs to be some structure. I mean their is no one listening to the event that is going on in chicago. Even chicago news outlets are talking about occupy new york and what happen there, they dont care about the wats going on in their own back yards. Some…See More
