...ake ID Just like many college students, Dana and her friends decided to go to a bar one Saturday night. The problem: Not everyone in their group was old enough to enter. The solution: Use fake ID obtained through a friend. So Dana and her friends used fake IDs to enter the bar without a problem, or so they thought. Later that night, police raided the bar. Dana's ID was confiscated and she was later arrested. It seems like everyone wants to be a different age. Many teenagers want to be either 18 or 21 so they can buy cigarettes or alcohol. And I’m sure everyone has heard their parents say they wish they were 18 again. For the most part people can’t change how old they are, but by using fake identification, someone could pretend to be an age older than what they are. More and more people are using fake ID’s. There have been many new advances in technology in recent years. Because of these advances, such as computers and internet, fake ID’s are becoming easier to get, and their quality is improving. Not too long after states find ways of making ID’s harder to duplicate, the counterfeiters are finding a way to make them. Fake ID’s no longer consist of scratching an 8 into a 3. These advances make it hard to tell apart fake ID’s from the real thing. Some websites sell fake ID’s from $50-5,000. Selling fake ID’s over the internet has increased greatly over the past few years. The internet makes fake ID’s readily available, but according to the article “Forged in Plastic”...

...them, or just hate them, they are here to stay, and will continue to be a bestseller at least for 2016. Kids love them, celebrities can’t live without them and they are otherwise great transportation vehicles fit for everyone of every age. Up until recently, the Internet started buzzing with shocking reports of Hoverboards catching fire. Major online outlets like Amazon started emailing their customers instructing them on how to use their hoverboard – or worst, asking them to discard it in return for a full refund. They also temporarily removed their Hoverboard inventory from their store as a precautionary measure. So what is making this uber toy catch fire? Experts seem to have boiled it down. The gist of the problem was apparently the lithium batteries catching fire. Now, under normal circumstances, this rarely happens, to genuine Hoverboards made by reputable manufacturers. But evidence shows that the mobility vehicles catching fire used cheaper, imitation parts in its charger, circuitry and batteries. Almost 100% of hoverboards...

...Horror movies would be nothing without the extensive use of fake blood in movies. There are many different ingredients that go into making realistic looking fake blood. Before horror movies really gained popularity the blood that was used in old films was actually just Bosco chocolate syrup. This was first featured in Alfred hitchcock's 1960 movie Psycho. Since film and editing has changed since the 60’s filmmakers were no longer able to use chocolate so they ventured out to find a new form of realistic blood to use in movies. Finally after going through different ingredients such as ketchup, food dye, and even jelly until they settled on a final recipe that looks very similar to human blood. The red color can be very easily acquired its the...

...Fare Handsets Sold Locally 1. How will the proliferation of fake Nokia handsets affect the operations of Nokia Philippines? * I think the proliferation of fake Nokia handsets have a huge effect on the operation of Nokia Philippines. The emerged of fake Nokia handsets may destroy the Nokia’s top position in the market. Nokia may lost the overall mobile phone market share in the Philippines and may suffer from declining profit margins due to fake Nokia handsets. 2. What do you think is the main cause of such proliferation? * I think the main cause of such proliferation is that there’s an existing demand on fake Nokia product which consumers can buy in a cheaper price. Since the original Nokia handsets are expensive, buyers are drawn by the opportunity to own and display what it looks like the genuine Nokia phone at a fraction of the price of the original product. The important thing is to the consumers is to get what they believe to be the same product at a bargain price. In a country like the Philippines where greater part of the population are consider poor and low income, they are not capable of buying an original Nokia which is expensive. It is rational choice for them buying a fake Nokia which is less expensive but with inferior quality over the more expensive original. 3. What measures would you recommend to Nokia Philippines in order to alleviate, if not totally eliminate, the marketing of fake Nokia handsets? * Some measures that I will recommend to Nokia...

...Clare Klement How to Spot Fake News To help someone spot fake news, I would advise them most importantly to “read beyond the headline” as Eugene Kiely and Lori Robertson put it in their article, “How to Spot Fake News”. I personally fall into the trap of reading a headline and assuming that it’s true without even glancing at the substance of the article. Articles carry various clues throughout their passages that can easily help distinguish whether they are credible or not. As social media has grown, it has become less and less automatic for a person to take the time to read through substantial information. If I were to help a person spot fake news, I would help them question and go through the process of examining the article’s substance. Just reading through an...

...Truman Paper The term fake love in itself does not make that much sense. How can someone express love, which is feeling that provides unconditional caring and commitment, and then call it fake. The only real way to have fake love for someone is to not love at all, but just to think you love. In the movie The Truman Show there are many individuals whom exhibit an illusion of love for the main character, Truman. At the beginning of the movie many of the characters appear to have genuine love for Truman. However, as the movie progresses almost all of the people whom are close to Truman, show in one way or another how they only think they love him. The best examples of these types of characters are his wife, his best friend, and his creator. His own wife, someone whom should be completely faithful and truthful with him lies to him on a daily basis. Her fake love is most clear when she crosses that line between actress and a real person. When she is acting she is trying her best to portray a woman whom truly loves him, but after seeing her act for so long even Truman can see her real personality underneath. He spots a person whom in real life cannot even stand him, but she puts a vale on to cover that. She probably really would like to love him but she cannot change the person she is any more than Truman can. Truman’s best friend has the same fake love traits as his wife. Even though they were friends from children they always had a secret between them. He had the illusion of loving...

...Suppression of Individuality in Radiohead's, Fake Plastic Trees "Fake Plastic Trees" criticizes how modern society stifles individuality and forces people to swallow idealized conceptions of how life should be. The whole song centers on the idea that humans, either through their own fallibility or through society's relentlessness, easily and obliviously mold their lives according to the unspoken standards they set on themselves. The result is a shallow, artificial, "fake plastic" living that perpetuates itself and destroys uniqueness. The first two verses, which reveal the tragic consequences of pretense, evoke feelings of despair and pointlessness. The image of a woman watering a plastic money tree is heavily shadowed by shades of existentialism. The act of nurturing is the woman's attempt to create something genuine, something reflecting her identity. The bleak, futile reality lies in the fact that her "creation" thrives unto itself, surviving as the product of society's goals and inhibitions and outlooks, not hers. The plastic tree is a misconstrued representation of her true self. Helpless and beguiled, she falls victim to the ruthless nature of society and its indifference to the individual experience. Her green plastic watering can For her fake Chinese rubber plant In the fake plastic earth That she bought from a rubber man In a town full of rubber plans To get rid of itself This artificialness of life is all-encompassing; no one is...

...Ask any person about what they think about wrestling. The chances that wrestling fans will hear is “it’s fake”. But wrestling, in general, is sports entertainment. A young boy has been a fan of wrestling ever since he was five years because his grandma showed him one episode of Monday Night Raw. He would watch every episode and also went to his first ever live event on April 10, 2006, an episode of Raw in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

...In the articles, "Are These Stories True? (Nope)" written by Kristen Lewis and "The Story That Got Away" written by Debby Waldman, they give reasons as to why fake news can sometimes be appealing. For example, in the article "Are These Stories True? (Nope)" written by Kristen Lewis, it explains how fake news sellers use big headlines and click bait to attract users to their website. The articles states that websites "put out made-up stories with sensational headlines to lure people into clicking and sharing"(Lewis 10). This is saying that websites use click bait to bait people into visiting their website. This is important, because it shows one way how websites create an illusion that makes you click on their website and want to read their...
