    Compare And Contrast Ancient Egypt And Shang River Valley Civilization

    Approximately 5000 years ago the first complex, politically centralized civilizations began to form independently along numerous river valleys throughout parts of Asia and Africa. These civilizations were the building blocks for organization of human economic, political, religious, and social practices. Although the cultures of both Ancient Egypt and Shang China River Valley Civilizations share geographic, religious, and political similarities, the cultures are vastly different when social characteristics and economic trade are taken into consideration.…

    Throughout this semester, we have delved into the history of the civilizations that have inhabited the world spanning from 1453 to present day. Whether vicariously from the perspective of a person from that time period through a primary document, or by means of explanation by author Robert W. Strayer and in-class discussions, we have taken an in-depth look at various issues and events over the course of history. Although each event was significant on some scale, certain events had long lasting effects that could still be felt throughout the world today. Each country throughout history had their “moment in the sun” where they experienced power and global recognition. However, one country who has their footprint over most of history was…

    Distracted Driving

    Cellular devices have become a natural part of everyday life. People wake up check their texts, emails, Facebook, twitter and even the weather with the touch of a button. New generation smartphones are now constantly glued to every hand or head that passes by. The result of this obsession is the ongoing issue of distracted driving. This issue started when drivers would get constant phone calls while on the road causing them to lose focus on their surroundings. Now texting, emailing, messaging and status updating has added a new concern to the issue. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported in 2008, driver distraction was the cause of 16 percent of all fatal crashes resulting in 5,800 deaths and 21 percent of all crashes resulting in an injury causing 515,000 wounded people. (Brian 2).Distracted driving has become a huge issue not only nationwide but specifically in Knoxville, Tennessee alone. Motor vehicle accidents and deaths have been increasing in the city over the years as cell phones have become more popular. Personally, I believe distracted driving is wrong. Staying focused on the road at all times is a sure way to save thousands of lives now and in the future. There need to be stricter penalties to support the laws that are currently in place.…

    Distracted Driving

    Your cell phone is killing people. Imagine for a moment you are on your way to your place of work. Traffic is terrible, so you grab your cell phone to text your co-worker or boss to let them know that you will be late for work. All you can remember later is the brief glimpse down to your cell phone while using your other hand to steer the car blindly. The trip to the hospital was short; you had your seat belt on and walked away with only minor injuries. The vehicle you ran into, on the other hand, fared much worse. A three-year-old boy was nearly killed in the collision. No, this would never happen to you. You are a perfect driver and have never had a problem driving while using your cell phone. The 330,000 injuries and 2,600 deaths annually were just unlucky, perhaps (Christensen par 3). How could this accident have been prevented? Laws concerning distracted drivers need to be enforced and education reinforced before more accidents occur.…

    Behind The Wheel

    I slid into the cream pleather bucket seat, strapped the old black seatbelt across my chest, adjusted the mirrors, put one of the two keys for the vehicle into the ignition, stepped on the clutch, turned the key and felt the rumble and shake of the snorting engine. I set the CD face plate in its niche and tuned to my favorite station. I gazed over at my dad thinking, “I did it! I had purchased my car on my own!” I could barely hear my thoughts over the sound of the engine, but my smile stretch from ear to ear. I had proven to my chauvinist dad that I was a financially sufficient woman, and able to afford all the responsibilities of car ownership.…

    Distracted Driving

    Persuasive Essay- Distracted Driving On October 26th 2009, Ontario’s ban on the use of handheld devices while driving took effect. Since then, thousands of drivers in Ontario have broken this law. This causes major issues because, 1) Using handheld devices while driving can cause many road accidents, 2) Many people don’t seem to be taking this important law seriously, and 3) It puts everyone in our society in serious, life threatening danger. I think that the province of Ontario can solve these problems by, improving the current law on handheld device use while driving, and being more disciplinary to distracted drivers. Distracted driving is a very serious issue in our world today. A large number of the accidents that happen on the road are related to the use of a handheld device while driving. In fact, drivers who use cell phones are four times more likely to be in a collision, than drivers who are focused on the road. In 2010, the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) ranked distracted driving, as the no. 1 concern on the road. But still, many people continue to disregard the facts. Handheld device use while driving has also caused many injuries and fatalities. Not only in the drivers at fault, but also in innocent pedestrians. “Drivers distracted by handheld devices killed an estimated 16,000 people from 2001 to 2007,” U.S. researchers report. The numbers are said to increase in future years because of the continuing invention of wireless technology. This shows that if distracted driving numbers increase, the death rate due to cell phone related accidents, will also increase drastically. Even though the province of Ontario has seen and acted on this growing problem, it doesn’t seem to be getting through to some drivers. On February 1st 2010, Ontario’s Provincial Police (OPP) began to give out $155 fines, to anyone caught using a handheld device while driving. Since the law was implemented, about 49,000 drivers in Ontario were caught…

    Distracted Driving

    I have been noticing each and every day that there are more and more distracted drivers on the road. These drivers may be distracted by their radio, an in depth conversation with a passenger, children laughing or screaming in the backseat or even reading or sending text messages while driving. All of which can be potentially dangerous to the operator, their passengers, an unsuspecting pedestrian or other vehicle operators on the road. As a potential victim to an accident caused by distracted drivers, I am very concerned as we all should be. So the question I ask now is how can an operator safely drive while distracted? Is the convenience and time saved worth the dangers or deaths that can be caused to yourself or others? In order to safely operate a vehicle it requires a great deal of concentration, coordination, and quick reflexes to avoid potential accidents.…

    In the film Drive directed by Nicolas Winding Refn a sudden act of violence by protagonist, Driver, is an interesting surprise.
