Walking to my car after a late class, there is much more opportunity for observation than during the day. Two girls walk by me, boots knocking against the concrete sidewalk, having a conversation about resumes. It’s one of the most professional conversations I’ve heard all day. The snow from Winter Storm Jonas is slowly melting, but the crunching of what snow is left is a comforting sound. I’m still waiting for that snow day. I unlock my car door, dinging alerting me that it’s open. I start my…

Driving a car and riding a bus may seem similar at times but in reality, they are very different. Owning a car is much different from simply buying a bus pass each day. There are certain benefits that each provides over the other. Although driving a car and riding a bus may get a person to the same destination, they are different in the ways of comfort, cost, and privacy. One of the biggest differences that people will mention is that being in a car is considerably more comfortable than riding…

Do We Need Driverless Cars? Many people believe that driverless cars could transform the roads. If successful, they could enhance safety; conserve energy and better protection to the environment (Cimons 1). Driving is how you get things done. The arrival of the mass-produced car, just over a century ago, caused an explosion of business creation. First came the makers of cars and all the parts that go into them. Then came the garages, filling stations and showrooms (Schumpeter). Yet it also stops…

The CEO of Screamland Amusement Park believes the company can turn ticket sales around with advertising focused on safety to appeal to parents who purchase tickets for the park. His belief is that there is correlation between research from the car industry and how parents select activities for their children. While a new advertising campaign might have a positive impact, the rationale for the safety focus is not completely logical, and the campaign could use more research before being rolled out…

Distracted Drivers Kill Fifth is a distracted driver can be at-risk on the highway. The first thing a novice driver taught is to keep your eyes on the road (Berger, 2010). As a matter of fact, distraction is one of the top leading that cause motor vehicle collision. On an average, it only takes about five seconds to read or send a text. Surprise, five seconds do not seem like it is not a lot of time, but in that span of time, the driver traveling at 55 miles per hour can drive the length of…

Artificial intelligence is becoming more prominent in the world. Technology is advancing toward completely autonomous vehicles. However, these technological innovations come with great responsibility. A completely autonomous car can be driven into a situation where a life will have to be taken. This ethical issue is a problem for the engineers, the drivers of the car and society. A variable ethical setting in a car provides controversy over what the ethical setting should be and who should be…

“Wanted, Only One Way Out” It is finally night and I started to walk on the streets only to see papers hanging everywhere saying “Wanted! An extremely dangerous German Hitman! Reward is a Royal Crown.” I finish reading the rest of the paper until I see my picture on the bottom. The next minute, I hear something metal drop somewhere around me. I look around and see nothing. I hear something else fall and I look around again until I see someone in a black hoodie staring right into my eyes. Whoever…

As I stepped out into the warm summer air, I realized I had been brought here by Christoph. The area was not too familiar. I glanced around to try and gain a perspective, when I saw someone approach from the opposite corner. My face tightened, and then relaxed when I saw it was Christoph. He had waited for me out near the street. He was such a gentleman. I beamed as he appeared before me. “You waited?” I smiled gratefully. “Of course!” He said, surprised that I would question this, “I knew you…

It’s a chilly December day in Cleveland. There are noisy streets, crowded sidewalks, and busy coffee shops filled with customers. I’ve had a long boring day of typing, filing papers, and attending meetings. I finish up my work and start walking down the twelve flights of stairs. Normally the elevator suites me, but from all the sitting I had done today, I thought I needed a little exercise. I get to the main floor, breathing heavily. I open the doors of the tall business building and take a step…
