Another Sister Scandal?



One you Youtube's biggest scandals and news of the week that caught almost everyone's attention, was the controversy going on between James Charles and Tati Westbrooke. Originally when I first heard that there was a major controversy between them, I didn't care enough to look into it, but as it progressed I ended up deciding to watch the videos and what happened really surprised me. But how and why this gets so much attention really make me worry, not for these Youtubers, I couldn't careless about them, but the viewers and how it will affect them.

For some brief backup on the scandal would be that James and Tati have been close friends since James' start despite an 18 year age gap. But when James posted an ad partnership with a companies who he has shown negative feelings toward before and who is also a lead competitor of his good friend Tati's brand, a news outbreak sparked as Tati for one was very upset about it and decided to take it to social media to express her feelings. Now after there was some very rude commenting about Tati coming from one of James' friends which lead Tati to make a full video about it and explain how she felt along with other bottled up negative emotions towards James that she has experienced in the past which all lead up to more backlash toward James. Then James uploaded an apology video addressing the issues, but since I already didn't really  like James seven before this scandal I just didn't watch it.

But from what I have herd in Tati's video, which has 39 million views, I learned so many inappropriate and horrible things James has done with his excuse that he is  a celebrity that has hurt and affected others around him. Now even from this I find extremely not ok especially coming form a very well known public figure who has such a big audience that mainly consists of young kids and teens. Now to me this is actually alarming because now I am here thinking about how he is being such a horrible role model and showing all of these views who are mainly kids that doing this is ok, which it so clearly isn't.

I really hope all of the kids, teens, and viewers in general do not do or copy any of these horrible things he has done, and especially because he is paying the price for it with all of the backlash he has been receiving including losing over 3 million subscribers and many followers. I would unfollow and unsubscribe to him if I could but unfortunately I was never subscribed or followed his in the first place, and frankly I am glad I wasn't because I would have been following a bad role model.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoVZg4KjRxU

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

The college outbreak

Image
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
