Smith, as mentioned in my first essay, is part of the Traffic Response Unit of the Lethbridge Regional Police Service (LRPS). The Traffic Unit is always out and about- kept busy by drivers.

    been in a more public setting. He somewhat shows some awareness that his actions were wrong as he does mention that he would not have placed the pasta back in its dispenser had he been in a more formal setting, such as an actual buffet. Mr. Tawney is aware that there are social norms to abide by. While social norms may not always make the most sense, I think that it is reasonable to abide by these “unspoken rules,” that the public has seemed to unanimously agree on abiding by, in public. At…

This is demonstrated through John Steinbeck’s novel The Grapes of Wrath and Henry David Thoreau’s essay Civil Disobedience.

It was during his industrial revolution where Carnegie seemed to be beside himself as a robber baron. Still holding his core beliefs and values throughout his…
