In James Somers article “Why New York Subway Lines Are Missing Countdown Clocks” (2015), Somers looks at the old New York subway system and compares it to the newly efficient and safe subway system called communications-based train control, or CBTC. First, Somers mentions that in the old New York subway system the tracks are separated into sections which display an occupied or vacant track. In contrast, he states that each train supported by the CBTC system is carrying a radio and onboard controller that determines its precise location which is later used to decide how fast it can safely travel. Second, Somers mentions that the CBTC system allows for trains to run in multiple directions. In contrast, he states that the old subway system allows…
According to the survey results in figure 2, 47.5% of respondents travel in the evening time, 22.5% in the morning, 15% in the afternoon and late evening. This may suggest that evening time (4.30pm -9pm) is the peak time as more travellers taking the train during that time.…

Mckibben, Bill. "The Pipeline Revolt." Rolling Stone. 11 Mar 2011: 39. Print. The author describes his story of protesting against the Keystone XL pipeline in Washington, D.C. He uses his experiences as a way to persuade people into rejecting the pipeline. If the pipeline is approved many believe it will create a “jobs bonanza” but Mckibben states it will create 6,000 jobs at best. This makes for a huge topic of debate and will be crucial for my final essay into having people reject the pipeline. Also the controversy of gas prices is discussed in this article and Mckibben says the pipeline will increase gas prices not lower them. Like many of my other sources the issue of gas prices is a big controversy. He uses a lot of pathos in this article, especially when he states when he huge topic of debate. Mckibben’s views are similar to mine and his arguments will enhance my final essay.…

In “The Trolley Problem” two scenarios are given to the reader. The first scenario is that the reader is a passerby that happens to be standing near a switch that could change the course of the trolley. The trolley is no longer in control and if it continues, it will kill the five people that are standing on the tracks ahead. Over to the side, there is another track that only has one person on it. The reader is given the choice to pull the switch the change the trolleys course onto the track that will only kill one person or to let the trolley remain on course and kill five people. The second scenario is that the reader is now standing on a bridge over the tracks and next to you is a stranger that is large enough to stop the trolley. In order for that to happen, the reader would have to push the stranger off of the bridge and onto the tracks. This would kill the stranger but save the five lives standing on the tracks ahead.…
Commuters pose a challenge to town planners for various reasons, although they account for a small percentage of travelers. Commuting takes place in two faces: the morning rush hour and the afternoon rush hour. This means that during these phases, the transport system undergoes much stress because of the spike in the number of users. This can be credited to the fact that people live and work in different places and that there is a uniform work time in the country. Work starting at 8-9 a.m. and ending at 5-6 p.m., this means that commuters have some special needs and requirement in so far as traveling is concerned. So, they require speedy and dependent transportation. In addition to this, there is the growing need to keep the commuters informed…

Every citizen in every city, town, state and borough all around the world use public transport on a day-to-day basis. Surely this would indicate that at least one city, town, state or borough in the whole world would be able to successfully reach a bus stop on time. That would make sense wouldn’t it? However, wherever you go in the world – whether that be in London, New York, Paris or Tokyo – I am certain you would find one thing in common with their public transport system; they are all utterly horrendous. This fact is true even without all the additional problems, and there are quite a few of those, to say the least. If you have the great misfortune to live or work in London, you will know that public transport workers can’t go a week without declaring they will be going on strike about one thing or another. “What’s the problem now?” and “What are they complaining about this time?” are frequent questions you will hear floating around London; like the grey, smoky fog that lingers in its once blue skies. As if this wasn’t enough, you then have road works and cancelled trains to contend with. And don’t even get me started on taxi’s supposedly taking the ‘’short cut’’.…
2. The second step in analytical problem solving was short circuited because they did not generate alternative solutions. (p. 175) Because Dodge was the only one who saw that the fire had crossed the gulch and he did not share that information, the others were not able to share any alternative solutions to maintaining the fire. Because other alternatives were not discussed, step 3 “Evaluate and select an alternative” (p. 175) was skipped entirely. In addition, step 4 “Implement and follow up on the solution” was also skipped. Dodge should have relayed the information to everyone but instead, it caused a total breakdown in the steps of problem solving.…
The chalk circle is a symbol of truth. Within the circle, all will be revealed. In the play, Azdak cannot come to a rational decision on who should have the child. His methods of justice are not by the Book of Statutes he sits upon. By putting the women in a circle and observing them act towards the child, he can see which woman is best for it. The circle levels the playing ground, removing the advantage of money or rank or history. There are no distractions to the problem or its solution. Azdak lets justice reveal itself.…
