Like any other ordinary day of the week, I was walking down the streets of New York City. Every other second of every day, I would clearly hear people honking, arguing, and swearing at others. What I've learned from these experiences is if somebody stares at you for not immediately letting them over, stare back. If they growl, you growl. They swear, you swear back. They mumble abuses, you mumble back. In case a vehicle grazes past you, race with him, overtake him and park diagonally right in…
The internet is the global communication network that allows almost all computers to connect and exchange information; restrictions should not be added to certain content and websites just because some users abuse the privilege of infinite knowledge. Although there are many issues regarding copyright and illegal media, I believe that there should not be tougher federal restrictions for content on the internet for many reasons.…
No one likes to think about the possibility of being in a road traffic accident, yet they are happening almost every second around the world. When you are involved in an auto accident, you can be so overwhelmed with shock that you forget what you should and should not be doing. If necessary, why don't you write down the points that are important following a collision, place it in your glove box, so you have it with you should you be an unlucky victim of another driver on the road? The most…
During the first two weeks of my observation at Highland High School, my partner, Alex, and I noticed how students had their phones out during a majority of the class periods. The teachers did not really address the problem during class. When we met up with our peers and asked them about cell phones in the classroom, they said they observed the same problem as we did in their cooperating teacher’s classrooms. At first, my inquiry question was what happens when my cooperating teachers allow their…
visible light by the flow of electric current. The airplane is a flying vehicle let people were able to move faster. The Internet is a huge network tandem by network and network. These network is connected to a set of standard network TCP / IP protocol families, linking billions of devices around the world, forming a logically single large international network. The reason why the internet would be so important is because it had a wide range of information resources and services, such as…
Thesis: The transportation system is composed of independent subsystems that depend on each other to help identify vulnerabilities. Each system is evaluated individually and then collectively to identify vulnerable areas. Interoperability is disabled among modes of transportation when independent systems operate on private hardware and software platforms. Electronic communication and internet exposes interoperability to viruses and malicious acts by hackers and insider threats. Each mode of…
Parents, Drivers, Texters… Everyone is warned about texting while driving. Cell phones help people stay in close contact with loved ones, but cell phones can be disastrous. Yet there are still thousands of deaths caused by texting while driving every year. Although people see the destruction that texting while driving can cause, they continue to do it.

As drivers, we face many instances of danger while behind the wheel: colliding with other drivers or even crashing in to pedestrians if a driver is not careful. The distraction of a driver only heightens said dangers and can be controlled. While some may argue that using a handheld cell phone while driving should be legal, they are wrong because without a law in place prohibiting this action, this will hinder drivers socially, economically, and politically. First, using our phones while…
The central idea of the article “Should children get to have cellphones in elementary school?,” written by Donna St. George discusses the highs and lows of having a cellphone in Elementary school. In fact, it is stated how "It's definitely a trend we're seeing at younger levels – being allowed to bring cellphones on campus," (St. George, paragraph 6). Although this might not be a good thing it is a big trend and we do see cellphones everywhere, for younger kids and even some older ones it could…
