Take careful notes
Step 2. Choose a passage from the source.
Here’s an excerpt of the Leets source:
Hate-based Web sites have grown dramatically in recent years. In 1995 at the time of the
Oklahoma City bombing, there was only one hate site1 but today, the Simon
Wiesenthal Center2 and the Anti-Defamation League3 have documented
about 2,800 hate sites. The Internet has put the problem of incendiary hate into sharp
relief, raising many difficult political, legal and social questions. Consequently,
the American debate regarding censorship of hate speech is moving from traditional forms
to newer ones found on-line. In particular, the Internet has become a key organizing tool
for hate groups.4 As scholars have noted, the Internet is a powerful forum of
communication with its broad reach, interactivity and multi-media capability to
disseminate information.5 The Web is providing an unprecedented vehicle for
forging communities6 and making communication quicker, easier and cheaper. These
features inevitably result in questions about impact, especially when viewed as empowering
racists and other extremists.
(In a note that contains footnotes, like the one above, include the
footnote numbers from the original text. Also, copy the footnotes. You will
need to include them in your paper.)
