The iPhone has been out since 2007 and has forever changed society. When Apple released the iPhone they created a new meaning to a smartphone. My first phone was a call the juke. It severed as a music player and also a phone when twisted open. It didn't take more than three years until the juke was upgraded for the iPhone 4 sometime in 2010.
Although I was not a pioneer of the iPhone I did not hesitate to become an early adapter. Many kids my age and younger were early adapters and the early majority as users of the iPhone. The late adapters consisted of people around my parents age, which would have been in their 40's at the time the iPhone was released. There are a good amount of people out that favor the iPhone over any other smartphone, but it is better plain and simple. I know many people that are laggards as far as getting an iPhone and one of them is my 85 year old grandpa. So, basically if you don't have an iPhone yet you are just like my grandpa.
There are people everywhere that have iPhone's. No matter where you go in the world there will always be someone with an iPhone. That is just the day and age of how popular and useful these phones are to people. Because of the phone being so valuable the early adapters, the majority, and late adapters will always continue to keep the saturation percentage high.

Protect Dissent
Out of the Eight Values of Free Expression we decided as partners that Protecting Dissent is the most important one. The protection of dissent is the protecting the right people have to disagree with the government and not be punished. We found that there are a couple of reasons this value of expression is above the others.
To start this value ranks at the top of the list because without criticism there would never be progress. This is not only in government but also a life lesson, nothing grows unless you have somewhere to go. Without other ideas and criticism of the ideas in place there would be no growth. The concept of criticism being beneficial is called constructive criticism and without it many people would stay the same year after year.
Secondly, the First Amendment protects our right to call out the government when they are in the wrong. The people in government are there elected by the people, therefore, representing them. Because they are representing the people this gives the citizens the right to say if the government officials are doing the right things or not.
'
Finally, Protecting Dissent is held at such a high value because it is a huge part this countries freedom. Protecting the right to criticize the government is something that not all people get to do around the world, leading to the fact that Americans hold it at such a high priority.

Pro Trump Arizona Students Punished
Arizona republicans are seeking out the Attorney General to investigate students that were punished for wearing MAGA clothes. A letter was written to the AG asking asking him to look into if the faculty at this school violated the students first amendment rights. It is said that the faculty at the high school ordered the students to remove their pro Trump attire during a "party in the USA" theme day. The school has released a statement saying that the students were not asked to remove the attire for political reasons but for safety reasons.
My opinion of this situation is Arizona is that it is ridiculous. It amazes me that the school is saying that the people wearing the MAGA apparel are causing safety concerns and not the people that aren't. If what someone is wearing is causing others to feel some type of way that person just needs to simply grow up and mind their own business. This drives me crazy that people are that soft. It all starts with just minding your own business and stop worrying so much about what others are doing.
The AG office has released a statement saying that they are looking into it but do not know enough information about it to comment right now. If the AG is smart or isn't a soft person he would say that their first amendment was violated plain and simple.

Supreme Court
The Supreme Court is the highest court in the land. The highest level of the Judicial branch the Supreme Court is an important part of the check and balances system. The Supreme Court is responsible for making sure both the Legislative branch and Executive branch are not violating the constitution.
The Supreme Court consist of nine member that are all appointed by the acting president. Once appointed by the president the candidate then has to be voted in by Congress. All justices remain on the Supreme Court until they decide to stop serving. The Supreme Court only hear around 100 cases a year out of thousands that are sent to them. Many cases are sent back down for the lower courts to handle.
The Supreme Court will make their decision and they will release the reasoning for how both sides of the justices voted. The Supreme Court has never been perfect and never will be. This is simply because nine humans are in control to uphold our constitution to their best possible ability and knowledge.
