Treat The Red Light Like A Stop Sign Analysis

Improved Essays
After reading the scenario and attempting to place myself in that situation I believe that I would treat the red light like a stop sign. Being that its very late at night and there is no one around I wouldn't want to put myself in danger if I am the only one riding in the car. Lonely roads especially at night can be dangerous for many reasons. I most likely would be worried if my car were to stop working or if an individual would take advantage of the fact that a car stops on a lonely road at a red light and attempt to cause the rider any harm. I would not speed up and eat the light because there may be a car driving without its headlights or a pedestrian wearing all black. However, if I approach the light, stop, look around to observe my surroundings

    Rhonda should claim to be the driver. When she agreed to drive after the party, she took on Larry’s trust, and the responsibility of their, and many others’, lives. Kant’s categorical imperative states that a person should “act only on that maxim by which you can at the same time will that it should become universal law.” A maxim determines whether the actions that a person take are right, wrong, or permissible. Driving under the influence is wrong in any case and circumstances, as it endangers the life of the drivers, and others on the street.…

    Based on a sample of individuals who committed speeding offence(s) during a particular period, say 1995 – 2005, we exploit the panel nature of the data to account for individual specific unobserved factors that can plague our estimates. We choose a base year, say 2000, identify individuals who had (or had not) committed speeding offences in that year, and follow both groups of individuals throughout the sample period. A difference–in–difference estimation technique is employed to compare the tendency and frequency of speeding offences committed by different group of drivers.…

    The implementation tactics of the stop and frisk policy is racially discriminatory because the number of members of the minority group stopped by a police exceeded the number of whites. Racially discriminatory enforcement of the stop and frisk policy is also a risk factor for the well-being of the society as it promotes prejudice against a certain group of individuals within the criminal justice system. As Gelam et al. (2007) raised the issue of geographic heterogeneity that was found in their analysis of stop-and-frisk. They questioned the legitimacy of the criteria the police used for determination before a stop that caused unjustified disparate impact among the racial demographic of the stop-and-frisk.…

    Stop and frisk is an unjust crime prevention that gives permission to provided police officers to stop a person and frisk them based on “reasonable suspicions” of possible criminal activities. Although nowadays it seems to be a way for police officers to harass people on the street specifically minorities. From this program, minorities experienced police interrogations, physical assault, and even arrests, only to establish innocence in court. Despite being declared unconstitutional in 2013, there’s an ongoing discussion in the news to bring it back and not just in New York but in other major cities as well. Stop and frisk is a prejudiced program that should not be reinstituted in America.…

    For my observation exercise I decided to look at a four-way intersection that connects campus and off campus. In my Community Development and Planning graduate class, we discussed the importance of understanding physical and symbolic boundaries (i.e. edges) of a space, as a way to comprehend a location. A road can be both a physical edge as well as a symbolic one, as is the intersection of Downing Street and Florence Street. The road is an obvious edge, or boundary for both cars and pedestrians but also a symbolic one because it is the edge of Clark's campus and the beginning of the Worcester community. At this intersection people from both 'worlds', Clark and Worcester, converge, forcing them to physical interact with one another.…
