On Wednesday night a pickup slammed into a home in a Boise neighborhood. Luckily no one was injured. At around 8:30 pm the crash happened at a neighborhood near the intersection of Overland and Five Mile roads. The pickup had destroyed a gas line in the process. As a result several of the homes on the street had to be evacuated. Intermountain gas was able to get in there and shut off the gas just after 8:30. This could have ended really badly. Thankfully no one was hurt. This affects the people of the homes that were evacuated for the simple reason of an extreme inconvenience.

    Drunk drivings are caused by alcohol, school shootings are caused by guns, laziness is caused by marijuana, and being late to class is caused by an alarm clock that does not work. Today, when a problem arrives in society, people quickly look for a scapegoat. Because the responsibility that people have, politicians, students, and anyone cannot bear this burden. Anyone can believe that inanimate objects cause the problems because some people cannot own up to admit their flaws. In addition, these people believe that there is no alternative way of improving, and they believe that by getting rid of these objects, there will be no problem in society. While people have these ideas where objects cause all these problems, this thinking is clearly…

    Is a phone call really worth someone’s life? In today’s society, citizens are faced with many distractions while driving. When people drive, they encounter disturbances varying from electronics to food that cause them to take part of their attention away from the road. These interruptions that society faces affect countless amounts of people in ways some would not even image. Distractions cause crashes which then take not only people’s lives, but also hard earned money from those who were not even in the crash. Any distractions while driving, including drinking, texting, or driving with fatigue, are so dangerous that they could cost the driver their life and cause others to pay for the damage; thus changing the course of the driver’s own life and impacting society.…

    This theory established by Albert Bandura, insists that by observing others, people acquire knowledge in areas such as rules, skills, strategies, beliefs, and attitudes while providing a sense of self-efficacy. Social learning theory renamed ‘social cognitive learning theory’ highlights the idea that much of human learning occurs in a social environment. According to Bandura (1971), “…new patterns of behavior can be acquired through direct experience or by observing the behavior of others” (p. 3). To apply this theory to the problematic issue of drunk driving is very simple because through recent history it is shown that our surroundings and the crowd kept have a huge impact on behavior. Although it is also suggested by Kail and Cavanaugh (2010) that all behavior is not imitated but that, “People are more likely to imitate if the person they see is popular, smart, or talented” (p.14).…
