The college outbreak

In the past few days there has been a massive breakout all over the US and there has been very bad outbreaks especially in SoCal at colleges such as UCLA and SCU. The college outbreak was huge and over 1000 people including students and staff were potentially exposed to the virus and were asked to be quarantined and refrain from contact with others. The numbers also show that 2/3 of the universities were quarantined. Many are being cleared after showing immunity to the disease due to prior vaccinations, which brings attention to the debate on whether people should be required to get vaccinated before entering school.
Many debate against having their children being vaccinated before school due to religion or other personal or health reasons, but this puts their child at a higher risk of getting this disease, and also other kids as their kids may if infected transmit the disease to others. Personally I think that all of the kids should get the vaccination for health and safety reasons as I think that otherwise kids health are at risk. But everyone has differing opinions, I just want what safest for kids. Although we see the debate has to do with the children, if a child that is not vaccinated gets infected their teachers, school staff, family, and anyone they are around are now at risk of catching the disease from them.
The outbreak is going on all over the states and has been reported in 22 states, with 704 cases all over the US. Which is the highest the numbers have ever been since 200 when the health officials had supposedly "got rid of the measles." But none the less, this is such a big crisis right now as many are being effected.

    This is a very well written article and I liked how you told the facts before you told us your opinion. I believe this entire vaccination debate is dumb. People should vaccinated their kids because it keeps the rest of society safe. These diseases, measles, smallpox were gone because people got the vaccines for them and were safe. The debate I see the most against Vaccines is that it causes Autism, not only is that factually incorrect it is offensive to kids with Autism because it is saying that you would rather have your kid potentially die of measles than have Autism. This is not just putting one kid at risk it's putting the population into harm, these disease are very contagious and dangerous. We have to keep herd immunity around for the kids who medically cannot get vaccinated.

Metal straws are taking over the internet

Image
All the outrage recently has been about straws, more specifically metal straws and how they will help the environment and save the turtles. As we have already known that the plastic that we use and make kills our environment and the animals in the ocean, but recently people have tried to make more of an effort to try and minimize the plastic we use. One of the biggest difference that has been made was the 10 cents added to bye plastic or paper bags at the grocery store which encouraged people to bring their own reusable bags. But now many people are starting to use metal straws instead to plastic straws and there are also many companies and business that have gotten rid of their use of plastic straws or have given alternative including the use of paper straws or like Startbucks, the provide lids such as nitro lids that have a small hole at the top that people cant sip out of instead. Many places are also selling metal straws as well so people can just reuse them. Now to me the us

Gum is the ticket to Love

Image
This is one of the most memorable adds I have ever seen, its something that if I even mention it to my friends they would know what I am talking about, yes I am talking about this add for gum. This add is mainly memorable due to the fact that it was splayed so much as a commercial on TV or while we were watching YouTube, so there was absolutely no "not seeing it". This commercial was one of the most notorious commercial I can recall that uses the Lover Marks marketing technique, and for none other than mint gum. But I don't completely understand is why the company chose to market their gum as a Love Marker? Whenever I see this commercial it makes me wonder as to how gum relates to lover at all? It makes me question whether the company had just went out on a limb and decided : lets try and make gum romantic. But the way they used Love marks in their commercial was actually in my opinion very clever since they were able to intertwine their gum in a cute way that was a
