    The picture may have been predictable but it is simple. The picture shows that Uber is important for this day and age and without it people would have to spend more money on taxis and cabs. Uber and Lyft was created for the simple fact that it would be easier for people to receive a ride in the middle of the night. It would be faster than a cab, especially in the middle of the night when you really need to get home from a party. It’s quite easy, you just have to put in your card information into the app, put in your address of where you are at and the address where you want to be dropped off at, send the message out, and that is it.…

Subsequently, targets of racial profiling have their freedoms stripped from them because of generalizations constructed by the media, which are enforced by many citizens and police officers. Due to a ban on the collection and release of crime-race data, qualitative data has played a fundamental role in exposing the racial biases of police towards the treatment of minority…
