Twitter Analysis: Isla Vista Attack Puts a Spotlight on Gender Violence

An article written by Matt Pearce of Los Angeles Times on May 25, 2014 talked about several things. Firstly, we will briefly explain the tag created on Twitter on Saturday, May 24, 2014. Tag #YesAllWomen pointed out that shooting Elliot Rodgers at Southern California University in Santa Barbara is not an isolated incident. A young college student Elliot Rogers announced that he is going to kill women because of declaration and a YouTube video he refused him, and the early stages of his attack reflected his plan. He killed three people in his apartment and then tried to attack the sister conference. Then he aimed at passers-by. The police said: "# Yes All Women: Isla

Let's think about the #YesAllWomen Twitter tag by a blogger "Feminist Arab Spring of the 21st Century". Please remind people that "every man is" is a violent and hatred feminist - this label is a ruthless list of male terrorism and female abuse. Some of the most popular tweets seem to make people something to lose humanity. Comparing them with sharks and M & M candies, 10% of them are addictive.

Hash symbols are also used for social activities. Among the famous labels on Twitter are #yesallwomen used to raise awareness of violence against discrimination against women after murdering Isla Vista in 2014 and public transportation after the Sydney hostage crisis in 2014 in Australia There is something to support Muslims. .

Between the 1980s and the 1990s, the academic reputation of UCSB improved and the reputation as a party school of Isla Vista improved. Raging parties, excessive alcohol intake, and uncontrollable students regard Isla Vista as the ultimate party city. However, in recent years, university government has finally begun to recognize its obligation and connection to Isla Vista, and I hope that the image of Isla Vista will be improved.

Isla Vista is a square mile land adjacent to the University of California, Santa Barbara, with more than 18,000 inhabitants living. The majority of residents of Isla Vista are students of UCSB and Santa Barbara City University, but many immigrants live in the community. The area is densely populated and many residents claim to be "the most compact square miles on the west side of the Mississippi River". Many of the characteristics and deterrence of Isla Vista may be due to the increase in the population of such small areas.

I can not imagine Isla Vista once was a relatively unpopular and absurd land, 10 miles north of Santa Barbara. In the mid-1920s, a small group of land speculators planned to honor some of the wells that belong to the land. This group named the rugged platform Isla Vista, Spanish "Island View". There are still several road names "Pasado", "Del Playa", and "Trigo" today, which clearly show the relationship between Isla Vista and the Spanish-themed Santa Barbara after the disaster . The town was randomly divided into small parts and sold as shares to the owner of many different remote locations. The original segment of Isla Vista builds the foundation for developers going to universities next to Isla Vista.
