This is the fourth week you have a
blog assignment. The blog assignment is on mob violence. Answer the following:
- What is mob violence? Give at least two examples.
- Why does this type of group violence exist?
- I would like you to find at least one article/news story from your state. (You can find your state by logging on to webcourses.) Give an overview of this case (including outcomes/convictions) and information regarding the victim and offender. (A good way to find a story would be to type “mob violence in Indiana” or “riots in Arkansas” or “vigilante in Mississippi” into google or some other search engine. There is no “time limit” on this one. Therefore, if you find a story from 1930 you may use it. Be sure to tell use the time period though.
- In addition to the basics, tell us about the societal conditions. What was going on before the violence happened?
- How is the violence discussed by the media…which group/people are the victims? Offenders?
- Media aspect
- Find two media documentations (this does not need to come from your state) and should not include manuals.
- Tell us what they are (including links)…this means give some information about it, not just the links.
