Cause-Effect Essay

Car Accidents

The world of today has a lot of accidents for many reasons, such as car accidents, fire accidents, or water accidents. But, the most serious is car accidents that occur due to a careless driver. Korea has one of the highest numbers of car accidents in the world and Japan is the second country for car accidents. There are a few reasons that are the most important causes of car accidents in the world. This is fast driving, drunk driving, and dozing off at the wheel while driving.

First, people can cause traffic accidents because some people do not know how fast they are driving their car. For example, most teenagers and twenty-somethings have this situation. In some cases, in Korea the men are under 20 years old, but when they drive on highways or normal road, they sometimes drive recklessly, so the man's driver's licence was suspended because of his history of reckless driving. According to statistics, more men are speeding than women. In addition, the government has to make some strong laws for safe driving for teenagers. Therefore, fast driving is one of the causes of traffic accidents.

Secondly, people can cause traffic accidents by driving after they have been drinking alcohol a lot. We can usually see people who have these problems in every place like father, brother, friends, etc. In my case, a few years ago, my father, who got drunk, drove his car from his company to my home. However, my father was caught in a general crackdown on drunk drivers, so he had his license revoked for drunk driving. After this event, my father adopted the style of driving carefully. The poeple who are drinking drivers will reduce their life spam. In fact, the poeple who have a car or drive a car should know how to control their car and how to drive a car well.

Lastly, people can cause traffic accidents because they doze off at the wheel while driving. For example, some people can fall asleep while driving because people get tired and they drive too long. When I was driving in Korea, I saw that other drivers were falling asleep while driving. This situation will cause damage to people. However, some people may not recognize their dozing off in a car. Therefore, falling asleep at the wheel causes traffic accidents.

In conclusion, these situations can cause car accidents in the world. I think that the most important cause of car accidents is drunk driving. We should adopt safe driving for our life, so we should not drink alcohol at all while we are driving. I think that fast driving, drunk driving, and falling asleep driving are not good for us. Therefore, people should reduce traffic accidents for their safe life.

‘Road Rage’ affects people

According to Kyoko Altman (July 18, 1997) in this article, “‘Road Rage’ runs rampant in high-stress U.S. society” these days more over 41,000 people died because of a traffic accident. Over half of these people have died because of road rage. Brenda Fraser said the drivers should have more deference for other drivers. The road rage is a kind of a mental disease and they should recognize that the problems are caused by themselves. Many other states have resolute management and give punishment to road ragers. To make road rage disappear we need to give consideration, make traffic regulations stronger, and figure out how we can reduce the number of cars.

First, the drivers should have more deference for other drivers. There are accidents when they do not have consideration. For example, when you drive somewhere, you should think about other drivers, because if you do not have consideration, you will get in a accident. For that reason, they should think about other driver because it will protect them.

Next, we need to make traffic regulations stronger, because some people do not keep to the law. For example, a reckless driver makes an accident. If there is weak punishment, it will happen frequently. So the law should have more strength. It will reduce the number of reckless drivers.

Finally, reducing the number of cars will get rid of road rage. It happens because many families have cars. For example, in some families two, three or more have cars. It makes traffic jams. If you have an expensive tax, maybe this will cause us to have a small number. In this way, we can reduce the number of cars.

In conclusion, road rage causes accidents and makes stress. We want road rage to disappear, so we need to have consideration, make traffic regulations stronger, and reduce the number of cars. If we always think about these ways, it will reduce road rage. So many drivers have to know each other, because if you think about other drivers, you do not make road rage or accidents.

Cash flow not debt causes students stress, scientists told

In Ed Ewing and Rachel Jasper's (Monday April 4, 2005) “Cash flow not debt causes student stress, scientists told” they discuss why University students have stress. These days university students have had a financial problem from loans. Dr. Scott had a survey of 268 university students. His results found that many students have depression, anxiety and stress because they have debt and need a larger amount of money than they spend for a day. So university students need to learn about how to spend money. A solution is students have to be trained how to use money at an early age.
