Apple reveals the secret fitness lab it has been using for TWO YEARS to develop its health tracking watch

Apple have revealed that they have been using people to test out the product that they were going to be releasing to the public. They have been found that they have had people testing their health and using the new apple watch that will be released soon to the public in England. They have been using these people for 2 years just testing it out to see whether it works good and was accurate with peoples health. 

• Lab has been running in this unmarked building for two years 
• Apple employees wear special masks and equipment to monitor breathing
• Were not told what they were testing - and used covered Apple Watches 
• Fitness app was installed by Apple as part of this week's iOS 8.2 update 

I believe that there is nothing wrong with testing out products as long as the peoples who they have chosen to do it agrees to the terms and conditions. They must also be treated fairly and not overworked.

Twitter Latest To Face Sex Discrimination Lawsuit

This article is about a woman Tina Huang who was a twitter engineer and had worked with twitter for a long time. She has filed a lawsuit against her former employer for being biased and not giving woman the promotions but only the men. She had missed out on many promotions which she finds unfair and believes that Twitter are in favour for men and only the men. Which is why most of the men at her workplace are all in high places and keep moving up, whilst the woman always stay where they are and due to this she has filed a lawsuit and is suing he ex employer.

• Twitter being biased 
• Promotions only to men
• Filed lawsuit against ex employer 

I believe that Twitter is not biased, i believe that its a case of men doing a better job than woman and woman believing that they're being biased, if they did their job to an outstanding level maybe they'd be promoted.

Ched Evans. 

1) Summarise this example for the rest of the class in one paragraph
Chad Evans is a high profile striker and was convicted of being a rapist when he had raped a woman in a hotel room. The women in question had said that she did not give him consent to do so and was passed out during the time that he had raped him. He was then found guilty and was sentenced to prison for a while. The woman Hatchet started a petition to get the footballer out of his game and to be dismissed and gained 160,000 signatures. 

2) What was the initial incident or situation that sparked this example?
It was due to Ched Evans to return to football and signing back to Sheffield United football club. 

3) In your opinion, is this an example of a valid campaign or something of a witch hunt against people who are not doing any serious harm?
This i believe is a witch hunt as the football fans who love him and would like him to play want him because of what he brings to the team and how he is able to contribute towards the football club. He is one of their valuable players and would want him in games playing for them. As a role model he only sets an example out on the pitch, people watch him on the pitch and know him for being good on the pitch. 


 Caroline Criado Parez: female presence on bank notes. 

1) Summarise this example for the rest of the class in one paragraph
This article is about a hash tag that was used on Twitter which had been created by a feminist named Caitlin Moran. This was created as a fellow feminist wanted the picture of a woman on the £5 note as they were going replace the current woman with a man. This would mean that there would be no woman on the British pound notes. From the twitter silent this meant that all feminists on twitter all became silent because of it and did not tweet for a whole 24 hours on Twitter, they wanted to prove a point and stood their ground. 

2) What was the initial incident or situation that sparked this example?
What sparked this protest was due to a woman wanted to have Jane Austin on the latest five pound note as she heard that the current woman was going to be taken off and replaced with another man, instead of a woman. 

3) In your opinion, is this an example of a valid campaign or something of a witch hunt against people who are not doing any serious harm?
She had the right to do what she did and got away with it and was successful. However the harm that was caused was that she had received loads of threats due to her actions which had caused her a bit of harm mentally due to what was said to her.  

Emma Whatson: Heforshe gender equality campaign. 

1) Summarise this example for the rest of the class in one paragraph
This was all about how Emma Whatson explained what feminisms do and what it actually is and what's it about. She says that feminism inst only a fight but is a humans right and that all women should have equal rights as men as we are all humans as she explains in the article and been said herself. We see that not many men are signing up to the 'heforshe' campaign and was proved unsuccessful shown through the figures received and shown in the article. 

2) What was the initial incident or situation that sparked this example?
Nothing had triggered this campaign but Emma Watson had seen for herself and knows that woman in the world are being treated unfairly and thinks she can make a difference for all woman. She wants to accomplish a lot for woman as she herself is described as independent and a strong individual. 

3) In your opinion, is this an example of a valid campaign or something of a witchhunt against people who are not doing any serious harm?
This is partly a witchhunt as with this they are trying to change the world as the harm is being done to the females in the world. What they want to do is change the people for them to realise that all woman and men should be treated as equals and should not be seen any different. Woman are mistreated by men and are seen as normal in society as it has been the common thing in this world for a long time. 

Facebook faces parents' lawsuit to refund children's online shopping sprees

Facebook could face a lawsuit against parents due to their children doing a bit of online shopping through Facebook. This has been a problem for hundreds of thousands of people around the world and Facebook must face up to the problems that the parents of the children who have been buying products online from Facebooks influences.

• Parents suing Facebokook
• Children buying online without permission
• Facebook to face up to lawsuits 

Facebook should consider a way in which they can stop children paying for items and products online which are influenced by Facebook through advertisements. This is bad as it would get children into bad habits and has happened many times before.

Teenager changed Facebook status to 'full-time killer' after disabled man he attacked died of brain haemorrhage... but is spared prison

A man named Scott Hall died because he had been hit by a bit in the head. Once the boy had done so he went on to Facebook only to change his status in to 'full time killer', They were given community orders and told to attend a rehabilitation programme. The sentence followed the Crown Prosecution Service’s insistence that it could not link the attack to 28-year-old Mr Hall’s death.

• Scott Hall, 28, died from brain haemorrhage days after he was attacked 
• Disabled man was punched in the face and kicked as he lay on pavement
• He spent nine days living in terror before sudden bleed to brain and death
• Two 15-year-olds admitted attacking Mr Hall but they will not be jailed 
• Both were given 12-month referral orders, rehab and community service
