The article written by Matt Pearce of the Los Angeles Times on May 25, 2014 makes several points. First, we briefly talk about the hashtag created on Twitter on the evening of Saturday, May 24, 2014. The hashtag #YesAllWomen highlighted that the shooting at USC Santa Barbara by Elliot Rodgers is not an isolated event. Elliot Rodgers, a young college student, “announced in a manifesto and a YouTube video that he intended to kill women who rejected him, and the initial stages of his attack reflected the plan he had developed: First, he killed three people at her apartment building, then tried to attack a fraternity before targeting passersby, police say” (#YesAllWomen: Isla Vista attack shines spotlight on gender violence; Pearce 2014). The hashtag highlighted that shooting is a rare event, but violence between men and women is not a rare incident. The article states: “In 2012, an average of more than seven women were killed every day…American women usually know their attacker, who is usually male” (#YesAllWomen…gender violence , Pearce). The hashtag was used as a platform for women to explain the issues and fears that all women face: Yes, all women… fill in the blank. It was also in response to the hashtag #notallmen. The article then placed some sample tweets at the bottom of the article such as "Why I wore a fake wedding ring when I was a waitress. 'Belonging' to another man was the only way to get customers to back down. # YesAllWomen” and “when I was grabbed by the throat and thrown down the stairs, the responding officers told me to apologize to HIM for crying #YesAllWomen” The article is socially relevant in two ways. First, the hashtag was one of the most popular and widespread I used the social media platform... center of the card... or society to be in an "unbalanced equilibrium" that allows society to function although the violence, particularly that of murder, is in no way ethical, for conflict theorists it is necessary.Article used: http://www.latimes.com/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-isla-vista -women-20140525-story.htmlWorks CitedGrinberg, E.
