Document Summary
Peaceful, attended by people from all walks of life. Mayor of marseille: people marching for tolerance and co-existence. Similar rallies in capitals and major cities around the world. Hollande: paris is the capital of the world today: Other demonstrators: we will not answer hate with hate . Pen serving as a symbol of defiance and unity. But those who feel marginalized don"t get the same kind of media attention and praise. Effects might relate back to why they were developed (ex: for business-develop an industry) Media could be used for business (ex: telephone created for business) Could also be used to create common understanding contribute to nation unity or other forms of identification.

This is a good start but not the best one to look at.
