Slate Magazine writer, Will Oremus, wrote an article on August 31st regarding the controversy between the two major electronics companies Apple and Samsung. Oremus started the article with a question "Did Samsung really steal Apple's innovations?" engaging the audience into the subject, and quickly answered it saying it all depended on where the reader lived. To explain the answer further, the next paragraph described how different parts of the world responded differently to the statement. Instead of generalizations, the article included responses from specific countries and analyzed how each country viewed the issue. Japan and South Korea did not think Samsung infringed Apple products' features, while the United States thought it did. In addition to both of these views, the author also included information about how other countries such as Germany and Australia did not agree with neither side.

The purpose of writing this article was to show that people and countries see a problem in different ways and have their own opinions about it. Specific countries and their allegations regarding the conflict between Apple and Samsung were mentioned throughout the passage to support the title "Samsung Defeats Apple." Orwell's article was objective and unbiased. Not only did the author state different countries' responses, but he also quoted a statement from a Samsung representative. Presenting both supporting and rejecting views, the author concluded that countries such as South Korea and Japan did not think that Samsung infringed Apple's ideas.
