Week 6 EOC; Illicit

Sometimes people aren’t aware of buying illicit things, like handbags, or clothing, or jewelry, or drugs. They may think that they are buying a rip off, but they never think anything of it, and what they are doing or causing to the original owner of who made the product that is being reproduced illegally. I know it seems a lot easier and cheaper to buy a knockoff of the real thing, but it’ll never be the real thing. That’s why it’s illegal.

Though it may seem hard for the people who are the one reproducing these illegal things, wanting to provide for their families and what not, I’m glad that their countries have undercover people to go into these places and are able to shut them down, especially the ones who are making fake drugs. 

Week 5 EOC; Lawyers Looking For Fame

     Looking to find a lawyer who thinks he’s more important then the case was something I didn’t want to do, I wanted to find something different, but still related to this topic. I stumbled upon this news article and when I read it, I knew I had my topic.

     “The young lawyer wanted to be taken seriously and make a name for himself, but he had a problem: His name is Justin Bieber. "I started getting 50 to 60 friend requests a week on Facebook," the 32-year-old—he's twice the age of the omnipresent pop star—tells the Philadelphia Inquirer, "and all of these messages that said, 'I love you' or 'I love it when you sing.'"

     Rather than drop his first name, Justin Bieber, Esq., uses his full name, Justin Matte Bieber. He even started advertising. "I've gotten several phone calls each week since the ads came out, and I've already picked up a few clients," he reports. It's not a bad strategy, says a marketing professor. "Many people do not know the name of a lawyer, so to have a name like his come to mind so quickly could potentially be very helpful." http://www.newser.com/story/93189/meet-justin-bieber-the-lawyer.html

     This man wasn’t looking for fame, but he found it once everyone knew his name. The only thing I hope doesn’t happen to this man is he starts getting full of himself because of his name and abusing his powers. As long as he maintains a good personality and doesn’t become a complete butthead, I think this accidental fame will work out well for Justin M. Bieber.
