Week five Assignment

It did not change my mind about texting while driving because i still think that it is dangerous and it can cause serious road accidents. Even if one person is texting it can kill everyone in the car and also others cars on road. I dont text while driving, and after watching the video I will never text because now i know the consequences. When a person dies, their family will have hard time to adjust without their loved ones. I will never sit with someone who is always texting. If my friend texts while driving I will take away their cell phone so that it can avoid any accidents. They should have signs on the road saying that " texting not allowed" and I think that they should get fine if they are caught texting. This video should be required to watched by all age groups. It doesn't matter if you are a new or a old driver because it can happen to anyone on the road. when you are texting you are not fully alert while driving. After watching this video I have learned a good lesson which will help me in future.

Assignment 4

1.) I feel good about the ban because while driving and texting can cause accidents and traffic. According to my point of view i think that all age groups should ban texting not only young people. I agree with it because this way there will be no distractions while driving.

2.) The article on cell phone use and the comparison to driving drunk is that both have similar distractions and it worse than driving drunk.

Cell Phones and Driving Safety

1.) I think while driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time can cause accidents and traffic because I have seen many people talking on there cell phone while driving they tend to be slowing down the traffic and this way people get angry so they make turns without seeing the mirror so this can cause accidents.

2.) In this article the evidence presented by the author was based on fact that driving while on the cell phone is worse than driving drunk.

3.) The main idea of this article is that driving while talking on the cell phone whether it would be hands-free or hands-held device.

4.) According to the Utah Study, the reactions of drunk drivers different from the reactions of drivers using cell phones is that drunk drivers tended to be aggressive and people talking on the cell phone are more sluggish.

5.) The signal words that helped with my answer were "while, said, In addition, and found". The researchers found talking on the cell phone reduced reaction time by 9% in terms of breaking and 19% in terms of picking up speed after breaking.

6.) The response of the cell phone industry is that believing educating drivers on how to best handle all of the possible distractions when you're behind the wheel is the most effective means to make better drivers.

Smokers' Rights

1.) The auother's main purpose in writing this article is that while people are smoking non-smokers shouldn't go near them. This way the lungs can be protected and they couldn't get any second-hand smoking. I extremely agree with author that smoking shouldn't be allowed in the building because it cause many problems like leaving your gas on and the whole apartment will get burned because of only one cigarette.

2.) I disagree with this statment that U.S. citizens who smoke are not the victims of discrimintation. They are not the victims of discrimination because it is their choice. They also know that smoking can kill them. Smokers cannot quit because they are addicted to it. For example, my friend smokes, she tried quitting ten times but she was not able to quit it because she is addicted. I hangout with her whenever she's not smoking.
