Power of group

Rong Zhao
ASA 2 Section A02
Week 2 reading


The demonstration of students in University of California, Berkeley in 1964 to rebel school’s restrictions on free public speech had successfully establish an effective way for college students to involve in political changes around U.S. This movement helps me recall the pepper spray incident in University of California, Davis where students were marching and protesting in campus due to the long-term struggling about school’s tuitions. Even though students were non-violent, fully armed police officers still use military pepper spray to attack students in order to break up the demonstration. They didn’t give students a chance to protest. As the level of demonstration hasn’t escalated through all these years, why police force has raised to whole different level that no empathy or humanity is showed?
