The Sentence of Bill Cosby

You may know him as Cliff Huxtable the father of five or even as Lil Bill, but now Bill Cosby is relevant for a different reason. In the past few years Bill Cosby has been known for his many rape allegations. And although some were reported as false, many were proven to have happened and him admitting to giving some girls pill did not make anything better. Today, Bill Cosby has been sentenced to three to ten years in state prison. Being the age of 81 there is a very high chance that he may die of old age before being released.
The part of the case that does not make sense is that the psychologist at his case claims Bill Cosby has a personality disorder. Often times when convicts reportedly have a mental  they are sentenced to a mental institute rather than Bill Cosby. If this is the case Bill Cosby should not be treated any differently. This is a good example of  'If I let one person do it, I have to let everyone do it'. I do feel that what Cosby did was wrong but I also think that he needs to receive the same sentencing that others before him have received.

Iphone XS

Today is a big day for Apple Inc. Today is the day they release their iPhone XS series. This series features three new phones: iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR. Along with the new iPhone's there is also the release of the new Apple Watch Series 4. There are plenty of people lined up outside of apple stores around the world to try and be the first one with the new phone. Many of those who are not lined up, have scheduled pre-orders weeks ago and should be receiving their new phones soon. I am an Apple Inc. consumer and have had an iPhone over the past 7 years. Unlike those who have pre-orders or wait overnight in lines I try to get the version that came the previous year. Whenever new phones are released the previous versions all have substantially lower prices.
Apple Inc. is very well known for taking away certain features on a phone and then selling it back separately to the consumers. For example, Apple Inc. took away the headphone jack on the iPhone products and sold adapter pieces for earphones separately. When speaking on who runs the media Apple Inc. should be one of the names mentioned. Regardless of how Apple Inc. were to change its products they know that consumers will still line up to purchase an iPhone, iPad, iMac, etc.

Tropical Storm Florence

North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and now Georgia have all declared state of emergency's due to the incoming Hurricane Florence. Hurricane Florence is not alone as it is followed by tropical storm Isaac and hurricane Helene. I have family in both Virginia and North Carolina and they have all decided to stay home instead of leaving. It has become a habit for people to choose to stay at their homes and fight through tropical storms rather than evacuate. I am beginning to wander if the reason in which people are staying in the eye of storms is because of their own stubbornness or because they are unaware of how serious the storms are.

With so many topics spreading in the news from pop culture to politics there does not seem to be enough media talking about severity of storms. Many people do not know that Hurricane Florence is being followed by two other tropical storms. Fake news has become so prominent that many people do not even care about the real news regardless of how severe it actually is.

Just Do It Campaign

Nike has just released a new campaign in which, former NFL player, Colin Kaepernick is the face. The ad also features a quote that states, "Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything." In response to this ad many people have shown their frustration by burning and throwing away all of their Nike products alongside #boycottNike. I find it amazing that a company like Nike has made this decision to ignore the backlash and fight for political issues.
The situation involving Colin Kaepernick and the NFL is the biggest example to date on fake news. The media has depicted Colin Kaepernick's decision to take a knee as a protest against veterans to cause people to be angry at him. The people who are listening to these news outlets fail to research the event themselves. Those who have taken the time to figure out why Kaepernick would do this immediately learned he was and still is protesting how the government and police are not treating the american citizens fairly. They also found out that before taking a knee, Kaepernick met with a veteran to discuss what the most respectful way to protest was and was told to take a knee. This situation has proven the use of fake news in the media.
