Police officers encounter ethical dilemmas quite frequently and their choice on whether to act ethically may result in drastic consequences. For example, Officer Jacob Jankowski encountered an ethical dilemma when making a traffic stop on December 31, 2016. New Year’s Eve always comes with heightened risk of drunk drivers and Officer Jankowski was on high alert…
enough to consider a full drink, and any time I did drink I was in my own house. So, there was no risk of me doing something reckless. Also my short and sporadic experiences with alcohol led me to realize that I actually don’t like the taste of most alcoholic drinks. I think one of changes that I was experiencing was in my limbic system, which is important for making sense of social information (Steinberg, 2014, p.71). One reason why I wanted to drink was because my peers were and I wanted to…
There are many things that drivers do that cause crashes and in some cases, death. However, the most surprising fact of crashes to me was that the most deaths in Utah were caused by speeding. I realized that speeding was dangerous but I had no idea that speeding could cause 42% of Utah highway deaths. Speeding is very dangerous and could hurt many people, including yourself. The 2nd highest amount of deaths for teenagers is also for speeding. For teenagers I am not surprised, there are many teen…

The novel, The Fault in our Stars, written by John Green includes a resolution that includes irony, however an alternate ending with the main characters passing away in conjunction would include an instance of irony. In the original ending of the novel, Augustus perishes from his cancer, while Hazel lives on. In the alternate ending of the novel, Hazel and Augustus would die in conjunction. However, unlike Green’s version of the novel, Hazel would expire in a motor accident. Thus, the alternate…
Argyria, or more commonly known as blue skin disorder, is a condition in which the skin turns purple of purple-grey in color. This is due to the acquisition of silver or silver compounds in the body.

Authorities said a 41-year-old women by the name of Colette Sulcer was driving on a Tuesday afternoon down a interstate 10 road in Beaumont, when her vehicle hit high waters. More than two inches of precipitation falling per hour and gusts of wind blowing at 38mph.

Increasing the age of when teens can begin to drive would be unnecessary in my opinion. A reasons we should raise the age to 18 could be that some teen drivers are more mature at that age. Some people say there would be less wrecks if the age was raised but wrecks can just happen to anyone. Increasing the age is just a difficult situation because it's based on people's opinions. The age to be raised could be good for the cops if they were to pull a teen over, then they would treat them like a…
