Dangers on roadways is an issue that describes the discrepancy between perception and reality of road rage. The media, for some odd reason, tends to make road rage a huge controversial issue. As seen on talk shows from Oprah Winfrey to CNN, they reveal to people that road rage could happen at any time and to always be looking over your shoulder. These talk shows and news programs also put fear into our minds by explaining that most roadragers often use guns to kill or injure their victims. Glassner contradicts the media's speculations by stating that out of approximately 250,000 people killed on roadways between 1990-1997, AAA attributed that one in one thousand was an act of road rage (pg.5).
In other words, the higher class creates the beliefs on how the rest of the lower classes should be seen or what ideals they should follow. The lower classes do this to themselves to reinsure their nature of national identity. Cinema is used as an ideological apparatus. Hollywood puts their ideals on the screen and renders them invisible. Such ideologies that are on the screen are heterosexual and it is embedded in almost every genre. Other ideals consist of social class of an individual, the gender of the individual and the age. There are two states of apparatus that are spread ideologically on screen. The first is repressive, discriminates other people to in oppressive state, such as laws that discriminate against certain groups. Second is, Ideological state apparatus, covertly spreads ideologies such as family, church and school. Hitchcock uses the reality effect in Rear Window to draw the audience more into the cinematic experience. He does so by making the protagonist look through the lens of his camera to view his neighbors and look inside their apartment and how they live their daily lives. By doing so, we see the world through Jefferies eyes and he himself becomes part of the audience. While viewing every apartment window we see how people live in their natural state and give the film a sense of realism. Each window shows what life was like, living in America in 1950. Each character represents different social classes. As Jefferies lens focuses on apartment complexes across the alley, it displays a capitalistic view of the tenants. On the top floor lives a hard working pianist in what appears to be apartment house suite with the great view and accompanied by other people that look well kept and pampered. His social standin...
So this leaves one to ask, how do those pesky rocks get thrown at a windshield? If it is hit by the following car, then it is because the rock was thrown somewhat vertically, slowed down by air resistance and the car behind it ran into the rock.
James Q. Wilson and George L. Kelling as social scientist developed a criminology theory called Broken Window. Based on experiments done with interactions by police officers and civilians to study the effects of policing vandalism, crime, and anti-social behavior. Believing that if police were to control public drinking, small infractions of the law, and vandalism, public behavior would change for the positive. A study where a car had a broken window left parked idle, would of be subject to vandalism rapidly, oppose to an intact car. The same concept was done for empty buildings where looters had easy access and would create much unwanted debris and fires, attracting yet more looters. Resulting in the city decay for the high rates of crime
A crack or rock chip in your windshield may seem like a relatively minor problem, but in reality, any damage to your vehicle’s glass should be addressed as soon as possible. Your windshield plays an important role in protecting you during an accident, and if it is cracked or otherwise damaged, it won’t be able to fill its role properly. But how can you tell when you need auto glass replacement rather than a simple repair? The windshield replacement team at Autoglass Xpress in St. Louis, MO points to the following three signs:
Illegal immigrants will be obligated to obtain insurance if they acquire a driver’s license. When a motorist tests at a DMV, they are required to prove that they have insurance, so if undocumented immigrants want to legally drive, they are forced to be insured. A majority of the illegal immigrants that drive today do not have insurance, which means that driver protection on the road is not always guaranteed. In his political journal of law, Gregory Odegaard states that “an increased percentage of insured drivers not only reduces insur...
Commonly, vehicular collisions are considered a negative occurrence. Dave Eggers hints towards this mindset in his short story Accident. Plotted in the middle of an intersection in 2005, the story commences with the main character driving his automobile through the intersection and striking an older Camaro. The three teenagers in the Camaro are fine, but the main character notices all the damage he has done to their vehicle and he fears an unpleasant encounter with them. Dave Eggers uses irony throughout the situation to illustrate the main character’s relief. The characters’ involvement with the collision emphasizes Egger’s theme that no matter how unfortunate an incident, positivity can result.

As most car dealers know there has been a huge boost in customers wishing to personalize their vehicles. Many customers consider their vehicle an extension of their own unique personality. But the key to successfully selling aftermarket products as a dealer is showcasing unique vehicles that will catch the eye of the customer. When the customer sees a one of a kind vehicle with clean smooth car window tinting vs. a car with no window tinting at all they are more likely to go for the one with the car window tinting because it is more appealing. If a customer sees a truck that he likes at a dealership but it doesn't have all the features that he saw initially in an add or commercial he may decide not to buy that truck. The customer is more likely to buy a vehicle if it has at least one or two special aftermarket features.

Crumple zones- are a structural feature used in automobiles. They help by absorbing the impact; this is by spreading the impact through parts of the car instead of in the one spot. This reflects back onto law number one, two and three. This is shown when the car hits the object it causes the car to slow down or completely stop (1). The crumble zone would protect the driver because all the energy has been diverted around the car, instead of the one spot. As a result of the cars mass and its acceleration, the force can be calculated (2). When the car crashes it’s most likely that the object w...
