Response to Summary

I wrote my original summary about Derek Bok's, "Protecting Freedom of Expression on the campus." After rereading my summary I read Michael Noel, Brittany Lake, and Taylor Effling's summaries. As I read through them I noticed similarities as well as differences. I also noticed that with each summary I got a good idea of what the article was about.
Between all four of our summaries i found more similarities than differences. We all had basically the same ideas for each paragraph. We all addressed the problems universities have with maintaining free speech, yet limiting racial tension. Also, we all mentioned that it is difficult to censor one thing, and not another. We all wrote how Bok felt personally on the matter, ignore and educate.
Some of the differences that i noticed, started on the second paragraph. Taylor mentioned boundaries of freedom of speech, and Michael mentioned the Confederate flag and swastika. I had not mentioned these yet. In the fifth paragraph Brittany mentioned the Confederate Flag as a symbol of Southern Pride. All three, in the ninth paragraph, mentioned private institutions and their rights, I did not mention this at all. I also noticed that Taylor's summary did not mention the Confederate flag, or the swastika. I liked that, because it leads the reader to assume what the offensive material was.
While reading the three summaries i did not get different ideas of the article. All three were well written and had good information in them. However, i could see how someone could "spin" an article with a summary. It would be easy, but i would hope that ethically, that that would not happen in the real world.
