You ever had a moment in your life that changes it forever? A moment that gave you a new perspective about the world or even about yourself? I had one of those moments in my life and what I learned about myself changed my mentality forever. An ordinary family trip to the zoo had turned into a life changing event that I would never expect to deal with at 10 years old. This is how my perspective changed forever. It was a rather normal drive to the San Diego zoo. The highway ran near the ocean…

Immigration has been around for decades. The United States is filled with individuals from different parts of the world. Whether they are legal or illegal, this country has become a home for many different cultures. People from other countries have always migrated to the U.S. for a better life. For many years, illegal immigration has been an issue to this nation and the government has not taken many actions toward this situation. Although recently the question whether or not immigrants should be…

the demographics of the urban development, it changes neighborhood travel characteristics and transportation planning/infrastructure requirements. Should transportation engineers care about gentrification while designing roads, bridges, highways, freeways? If we (transportation engineers) build it would they have to leave? Are transportation engineers creating the cycle of gentrification by developing master plan of a city? There will be many concerns that we as a transportation engineers do not…

out the door, ready for what hoped would be an exciting Jr. High dance. And cousin, let me tell you something, boy was I wrong as ever. It started off okay, I walked down my street towards the school, and since I lived almost right next to the freeway, I heard the rushing sound of hundreds of cars returning from their jobs to go see their families. Anyway, I walked onto the school campus and a white car pulled up in the school parking lot. “Hey, Nathan” The twins Nick and Kyle yelled.…

itself means that I am a person that has high moral admirable character, and lives a happy life that is balanced between making choices in my life that are extremely impulsive, or that is extremely gutless. For example, me going over 100 mph on a busy freeway just to demonstrate that I’m a dare devil would be a completely impulsive action to do. On the other side I would not just want to sit there and stay quite if I knew someone had stolen my friends phone and did nothing about. Although it may…

In the 1920s, the fear of communism spread throughout America. That fear and panic became known as the Red Scare. Even though the red scare died out in the 1920s, it reoccurred in the 1950s. Because of the impending nuclear war, the fears of communists or being labeled a communist resurged. The efforts made by Eisenhower, to address these fears, failed because they aggravated the Cold War situation and elevated the fears of Americans. The fears of the American population grew immensely with…

Have you ever been on a road trip and then everything falls apart? I’m talking screaming siblings, hungry family, and most of all feeling uncomfortable the whole drive. Well, this is exactly what happened to my family on our 2016 road trip to California. Not to mention we had everything planned. Every place, cost, time, and snack. What could have possibly gone wrong? For as far back as I can remember, every other summer my family has taken a long journey to Southern California to visit…

Barbara Tuchman has a small saying about how advertising is all around us. Everywhere we look there is an ad that gives a false image of reality. Advertisements can have a negative effect especially for the younger population. Since ads are always on social media it is very easy for a person to get bombarded by them and persuades an individual to want to purchase the product. The company’s tactic is to capture one’s attention to make them feel like they must have their product. Majority of the…

Difference Between Cars and Airplanes Cars and airplanes are both significant inventions in human civilization, and they influence our lives in different ways. Sometimes, people choose cars to go somewhere as a form of transportation. However, if people want to go somewhere far, they usually ride airplanes. These days, we often hear people say that the influence of cars far outweighs that of planes, for they are used more frequently. However, I believe this is a misunderstanding, for importance…
