In this article, McDonnell takes the opportunity to go into specifics regarding a certain revolution that took place in France in 1968. She goes into detail regarding the effects of any revolution on the government, the economy, and capitalist society as a whole. She explains that large portions of the people involved in revolutions are often the working class, and if the working class united together they could have a significant amount of power, enough that they could get the people in charge to agree to the changes that they would like to see happen in their lives.
Doctorow, Cory. Little Brother. New York: Tom Doherty Associates, 2008. Print.
This novel is essentially the basis of my Spring Quarter section of my hypertext. Doctorow raises a variety of issues that are still seen in society today. For my research hypertext I decided to focus on the revolution aspect of the novel, in which Marcus, the main character, decides to start an underground revolution in an attempt to get back at the Department of Homeland Security which took him hostage for a period of time to interrogate him because of suspicions that he was a part of a terrorist attack.

Web. 21 Apr. 2011. <http://http://0-web.ebscohost.com.sculib.scu.edu/ehost/detail?sid=4a777ec4-2eb5-4768-ac39-755abd3256b1%40sessionmgr115&vid=1&hid=126&bdata=JnNpdGU9ZWhvc3QtbGl2ZQ%3d%3d#db=apn&AN=ALTP746017>.
This article emphasizes the fact that universities all over use the “budget crisis” dilemma as a crutch for many of their issues, and that the idea of higher education is quickly becoming a sham. Because of these issues, student activism has been popping up in extremely unique areas of the universities, mainly with the reasons behind them being “resource and knowledge sharing”. Brophy describes the positive aspects of all of the rising student activism and says that the success of said movements resides mainly on the fact that they link from campus to campus all across Canada, which is where the article was focused on.

Looking back on the Free Speech Movement, Barbara Garson, an extremely active member in the movement, discusses how she felt in the last months of activism prior to the disbanding of the movement. She looks back on the revolution’s unofficial leader— Mario Savio—and fondly talks about his involvement in the movement. Garson discusses their reasoning for dissolving the movement and how although their reasons for ending the Free Speech Movement may have been a bit less than reasonable, their time had come and gone to be the activists they had once been.
Diemer, Ulli. "Free Speech -- As Long As It Doesn't Offend Anyone." Alternative Press Index. OCLC, Jan. 2009. Web. 22 Apr. 2011. <http://0-web.ebscohost.com.sculib.scu.edu/ehost/detail?vid=5&hid=126&sid=a9cfa160-17cc-44e8-9553-764ef9ece800%40sessionmgr110&bdata=JnNpdGU9ZWhvc3QtbGl2ZQ%3d%3d#db=apn&AN=ALTP762022>.
Free speech is a frequently debated topic. In this article, Diemer dives into the controversial topics of hate speech, how far is too far when it comes to satire, and the give and take situation with the state being able to sensor what we, as citizens, can and cannot say. Diemer discusses the problem with hate speech—that many times people can interpret a criticism as something hateful and although it may be a simple solution to give the state the power to tell us what is okay for us to say, to let them do this would only further their “repressive powers”.
Et Al, Anesi. "60 Years of Free Speech and Censorism." Alternative Press Index, 2008. Web. 21 Apr. 2011. <http://0-web.ebscohost.com.sculib.scu.edu/ehost/detail?vid=4&hid=126&sid=aea9bdc9-d236-4d59-a4c4-6f061f40ae43%40sessionmgr112&bdata=JnNpdGU9ZWhvc3QtbGl2ZQ%3d%3d#db=apn&AN=ALTP746768>.
This article leans towards more of a timeline with a strong message behind it. It ranges from 1948-2008 pointing out various dates where there were breakthroughs in free speech events as well as events of censorism ranging from the banning of pamphlets to the murders of people that were getting too involved in things that they should not have. The events are from all around the world, showing that anyone anywhere can get their ability to say what they want taken away.
