Summary

Old D.O.H.S is a very well planned and disciplined area, it has a very few problems. One of the major problems is the noise pollution made by construction sites and mostly trains.

The roads remain clean but garbage lying at a few places beside or on the roads is a problem for the pedestrians and also other people who uses the roads.

The security in this particular area is strict; for example, a driver cannot drive at a speed more then 20 km/h, incase he or she does, a guard nearby would stop the vehicle and ask to lower the speed.

The area contains a park, a community centre, a mini store, a mosque etc.

Overall Old D.O.H.S is a very peaceful, beautiful and a disciplined area.

    There is a minimum speed limit instead of a maximum. Clarisse Mcclellan said in the story, “‘I sometimes think drivers don’t know what grass is, or flower, because they have never seen them slowly’”(Bradbury 9). Clarisse Mcclellan gives the solution to escaping the mind control society and allowing one's thoughts to become more independent. People must slow their life down, step back, and look at the larger picture. If people drive pass grass and flowers as fast as they can then all they can see is a bleary patch. The people are ignorant to their surrounding because they never took the time to notice them. Various characters and symbols are used to portray this…

    One of the themes of this course is the presentation of alternative viewpoints about issues affecting the environment. An important dimension to this debate is the reporting of issues in the media and in informational materials prepared by international organizations such as non-governmental organizations (NGOs). In this assignment you are required to analyse media articles or information pieces and to apply some of the thinking you have been exposed to in the course so far, as well as standard 'critical thinking', as described in the box below. By comparing the arguments and formats that these media pieces bring to bear on the problem, you can uncover faulty arguments, unsubstantiated positions and clearly biased information. In the process you should also come to realize the strengths and weaknesses of different informational formats.…

    The cars are capable of going about two hundred miles per hour, and people are arrested for driving too slowly. It seems that the people are always going so fast that they don't have time to think. They're arrested for driving too slowly - the government doesn't want to give its people any leisure time to ponder. "'If you showed a driver a green blur, oh yes! He'd say, that's grass! A pink blur! A rose garden! White blurs are houses. Brown blurs are cows. My uncle drove slowly on a highway once. He drove forty miles an hour and they jailed him for two days.'"…
