As the year 2020 rapidly approaches, there is only one aspect that is on many American’s minds, the election on whether President Trump will retain his spot as commander-in-cheif or if someone will find a way to defeat this very polarizing figure. Through many social media platforms and news outlets there has been an apparent divide that is growing in the United States between people who have pure hate due to certain actions of the current president and people that believe he is the only person that is willing to stand up against the establishment of the country’s politics. In the article, “A self-help guru and Oprah confidante is running for president with a mission to heal a divided country via a spiritual awakening”, there is a person that believes they can squash this divide and help this great country thrive again. Business Insider provides an interesting outlook on 2020 presidential candidate Marianne Williamson who is a multiple time New York Bestseller and specializes in spirituality and morality and is confident she is the one that can make a difference. The 2020 candidate explains “All that a nation is, is a group of individuals. So the same psychological and emotional and spiritual principles that prevail within the life of an individual prevails within the life of a nation.” She has been spreading these values her entire spiritual career and now these ideas have turned into political aspirations as she announced her presidential campaign in January.

As an individual who is ending their college career and will soon be shipped off into the real world, I pick and choose what I feel is necessary to worry about. The divide of this country is one of those things. Although I do believe the divide is exaggerated to an extent due to bias media outlets between both political parties. I feel that the only way that a nation can have any success is if people have a mutual respect for each other and can find a way to compromise. It is impossible to get everyone to agree over a certain debacle but it is very much possible to respect each other on an individual level and find a middle ground. Between the past two presidents they have used rhetoric that has further separated different groups in the US and if Williamson believes she has the solution of compromise and respect, I am 100 percent in. I will be intently looking into what she has to offer.

Welcome back to the world of Anthony Rocca. I am sorry for my short hiatus due to the fact I needed to take care of some personal dilemmas in my life however each experience I face allows me to become a better listener and writer in society. Now time to talk business. The articles throughout Business Insider have been a wide range of different topics including the anticipation of the stock market due to the United States Summit with North Korea that will be taking place in Vietnam today (https://www.businessinsider.com/stock-market-news-opening-bell-february-27-2019-2019-2). Also, throughout the past couple of weeks their has been plenty of talk about Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and the revolutionary direction he wants to take his company, including the facts of his very public divorce with his wife making her one of the richest women in the world (https://www.businessinsider.com/amazonbasics-memory-foam-mattress-review-2018-12). What I will be discussing in this particular press release is an outlandish concept that is starting to become reality.

            FEDEX is teaming up with Wal-Mart and Pizza Hut where they are creating a robot that is on wheels that has the ability to deliver items within a 3 mile radius of both the stores. The robot has been created by the same company that invented the Segway stand up scooter and they have been testing their new invention in several different cities including Memphis this past summer. In our modern day society, inventors have been pouring millions into this same day delivery concept because majority of both Pizza Hut’s and Wal-Mart’s target markets fall within a 3 mile radius of both of the stores. https://www.businessinsider.com/r-fedex-partners-with-walmart-pizza-hut-to-test-last-mile-delivery-robot-2019-2

            What I find so fascinating about the concept of this new door step delivery is how rapidly it is coming into effect especially here in the United States. Within the next 5 to 10 years most of our everyday interactions with grocery stores and or restaurants will be completely eliminated due to robots such as this FEDEX one as well as drones in Amazon and things of that nature. It is pretty unbelievable how the next best thing is coming out before society can even try the current best thing. I have a food for thought before I finish this press release. In the coming years when most of the retail and service industry is being handled by robots and or very advance technology, do you think the lack of human interaction will hinder human’s ability to openly communicate with each other? Looking more in dept in the US as the divide between the country becomes more prevalent, what will be the results from the lack of everyday human interactions?

Hello, my name is Anthony and I am 4^th year Food and Resource Economics major here at the University of Florida. The most important thing to know about me is my family because they are everything to me. I have an older brother who is currently in Kansas City for medical school, I have a twin sister who is currently at the University of South Florida for health, and I have a younger brother who is turning 13 in two weeks. I spend a lot of my time hanging out with friends as well as playing and watching sports. Throughout my life I have always been someone who likes to just sit around and think. I believe it is imperative to have a firm understanding on different subjects in life and to actually think about your decisions before you make them. As my time here at UF is approaching the finish line it is time for me to get a yearly salary using my degree. I am not exactly 100 percent what I want to do with my degree but I have different areas of interest. One job I would be interested in doing would be medical sales for different hospitals which basically would be me selling doctors and nurses medical equipment. No matter what the future holds I believe success will come along with it because if I am determined and love what I am doing then anything and everything is possible.
