Introduction

It is reported by the guardian that, on 2 December 2015 a husband and wife opened fire on a local government office building in southern California. The FBI quickly said the two suspects, who both practiced Islam, had been “radicalized” and declared the incident a terrorist attack. As a result the US government asked a court to order Apple to create a unique version of iOS that would bypass security protections on the iPhone Lock screen. Apple refused.

Despite Apple being confronted with this prickly situation it has not suffered any lingering reputational consequence from this. According to Forbes’ Top 100 Most Valuable Brands ranking, 2015, the iPhone maker is the world’s most valuable brand and is set to retain their spot …show more content…

Models of public relations were proposed by James E. Grunig, According to James E.Grunig, there are four models of public Relations

The first model is publicity or press agentry also called P.T Barnum model, the second is a public relations information model, the third is asymmetric persuasion. The fourth model is the two-way symmetrical model and has become accepted as a formal definition of best practice for communication between an organisation and its audiences. Most of the activities that the media find obnoxious coming PR practitioners are behaviours that are typical for the press agencies or public information models. (Grunig & Hunt 1984,)

The fifth Model is the Media Clover Leaf. This is a new communications model has been created in the public relations industry to illustrate how the media environment has evolved and expanded to include digital properties.

Evaluate Apple’s use of social media in this instance according to the theory.

Social media is now a widespread part of how people and organisations communicate and participate online. (Doorley&Garcia, 2015)

Because of the scale of social media today, organisations no matter the sector, must address social media as part of the reputation management matrix. (Doorley&Garcia, 2015)

It's a well-known fact that Apple’s marketing makes use of the minimalist approach, with sleek and simple television commercials and no official Facebook or Twitter page. So how does Apple know they have a crisis on their hands if they weren’t mentioned in these tweets?

Like any successful company, Apple knows that just because you don't have a social media presence, that doesn’t mean that people aren’t talking about you. Therefore, by keeping a finger on the pulse of social conversations, Apple is able to mitigate crisis with their consumers. Conclusion

This report has reviewed reputation from a range of perspectives, looking at how it is defined, the connection between the brand and its reputation, the importance of stakeholder relations, and the power of

With this question, privacy v. safety concerns came up. With this concern, The Petitioner, Riley and his lawyers, argued that smart phones simply contain too much personal information to be legally searched by police without a warrant. Many argues that smart phones reveal the most private thoughts of the average American, containing extensive records of the book read, websites visited, and conversations with friends and family of the owner. They also argue that constitutional protections will be surrendered if police can search the smart phone of every American arrested without a warrant. The Petitioner further contend that smart phones are every bit as sophisticated as personal computers and need to be treated as such and can be through of as a window into the owner’s mind.

Bill Nelson once said, “If we don’t act now to safeguard our privacy, we could all become victims of identity theft.” With the increasing amount of data that our mobile phones and tablets contain, encryption and security is becoming more vital everyday. Damon Beres, author of “What You Need To Know About Apple vs. The FBI” argues both sides as the war on privacy rights and national security continues. Although Beres uses a large amount of pathos throughout his article, he doesn’t use ethos and logos as much. When Beres does use logos and ethos though, he clearly states examples.

A month before the end of the American civil war, President Abraham Lincoln gave his second inaugural address to the nation. In his speech, Lincoln shifts the blame of starting the war towards the south through juxtaposing the northern and southern parties. But at the same time he also applies anaphora and biblical allusions to create a sense of unity between the two opposing sides in the hope that they can better their future together. Early on in his speech, Lincoln uses juxtaposition to contrast the northern and southern parties. He claims that the South “would make war rather than let the nation survive,” while the North “would accept war rather than let it parish, and the war came.”

Apple is trying to protect the American people that own any apple product from the FBI. The FBI wants apple to unlock the phone from the San Bernardino 's but Apple is not doing it because it is against the 4th amendment. Since the FBI can’t get into it because Apple can not give permission to the FBI, also they don’t have any reason to look at the phone so Apple did not allow tat to happen. My opinion on this matter is that apple is doing the right thing, if the government was able to get a hold of all the information that a single person had on their phone, I am pretty sure people would be embarrassed because of all the personal information on their phones. If Apple gave them the right to look through their phone than the 4th amendment would be compromised and then that can start an up riot.

Apple – One of the main ethical dilemmas faced by Apple is about safeguarding the privacy of their customers or complying with the government to assist them with investigations which may be for the betterment of the whole country. Apple has introduced operating systems with default full-disk encryptions since iOS 8, to protect its user’s privacy and security. However, the FBI believes that encryption is merely a marketing strategy that will attract criminals at the cost of country’s safety. Since the introduction of full-disk encryption, the user created a passcode and Apple could access any information in the phone without the passcode. They believed that they did not want the power to access content so that law enforcement could figure out a way to do it themselves instead of asking Apple to invade their customer’s privacy.

By definition, computer-mediated communication (CMC) is communication about or by means of computer technology (Thurlow, Lengel, & Tomic, 2004).

The study of CMC has been widely applied, allowing for discussions of all forms of human communication via the means of a computer.
