Call for Action: Cell Phones on the Road When a cell phone rings in a meeting or a class, it attracts significant attention and irritation yet it does not endanger the lives of people. However, on the road, irresponsible use of cell phone puts people life at grave danger. Most often, we have seen drivers being distracted while the chat and converse on the phone while driving in a manner resembling drunk drivers, they weave between lanes or running down near pedestrian crosswalks. Drivers are impaired by cell phones hence the need to enact laws that can deter the use of cell phones by drivers. Phone use while driving is a proven form of distraction responsible for many preventable accidents on our roads. The available set of laws for reckless driving are lenient and insufficient to punish offenders. Only a few states prohibit the use of a handheld phone while driving by allowing drivers to use a hands-free system like Bluetooth to talk on the phone. Several other states and D.C have laws prohibiting the use of the cellular phone…

Personal Interaction with Technology After years of interacting with technology, I have learned about its positive and negative sides. I know that technology has opened the world to infinite possibilities. Sometimes, I think of a world without technology and how communication used to happen. It must have been such a disconnected world where people used to live without knowing what happens in the external world. Technology has, however, made the world a global village today. Sitting somewhere in New York, one could easily learn about some political activity that happened in Cape Town in South Africa. I have a profound feeling that technology has been impactful in my life; it has helped me to understand the external world. It has also helped me in my studies and even for recreation. Also, I have an understanding that it has improved not just personal encounters like in my case but also in the way that business happens. At the same time, however, I have learned that technology opens scores of views that I do not like making me feel inadequate. I also…

pain and suffering that Kalief endured in Rikers For the pain and suffering that Kalief endured in Rikers, I would say that the city of New York is responsible for it. Everyone played a role in Kalief going to Rikers, especially the Bronx criminal court which tried him with no evidence, the New York Police Department who arrested him over a book bag case which had happened weeks before. But for the pain and suffering, Kalief endured in Rikers; the correction officers have to take the blame for it. They are the one who made life there for him difficult by letting him experience the depth of brutality in the jail which sometimes they took part in. Correction officers are the ones to protect inmates against violence and other harmful events that they experience in jail. Kalief had to encounter and endure brutal fights which were frequently happening in his housing area, and the correction officers could not do anything to stop it. The correction officers allowed all this violence to occur by even taking part in it. They are…
Films journals:Monty Python Flying circus British humor is way too far from American fun. I can confess that I am a fan of British comedy. I have watched Monty Python several times, and it is incomparable to most American comedies due to the creativity used in drafting are the comic jokes. American humor contains humorously embarrassing events. I enjoy American comedians though I cannot think of any at the moment except Chris Rock. British skits are more enjoyable for the jokes tend to be of different levels (Landy, 2005). From the Monty Python, we have open tricks that tend to be more and more involved. In this case, we have the act on The Life of Brian in Monty Python Flying Circus. In this case, Brian tries to escape and a mob that mistakes him for a prophet, in the chaos, he gives one of his followers a gourd, and as he tries to flee, he loses his shoe. At this point, the crowd of followers divides into two. The first groups start yelling, “All hail the gored,” and the…
