Assessment 2b: Travel diary

One:
My journey from my home to the University of Wollongong.
As I begin to venture along the lake I am presented with a wonderful scenery of bright blue waters and open. As I merge onto the main road I am faced with ‘peak hour’ traffic which instantly changes the way I feel. I eventually merge onto the highway with a split second opening, I know my journey is almost over. Stuck in northbound traffic, with nothing to look at besides concrete walls and the back and sides of surrounding vehicles. Cars all jammed together like sardines, barely moving with the constant traffic. I park one shuttle stop away from UOW due to the lack of car parking and I catch the free shuttle over. 5 minutes extra on top of my 30-minute …show more content…

In relation to my journey I believe that comfort plays a huge role in the way I travel to UOW. When I am in the comfort of my own car, I feel safe and secure, as opposed to how I feel cramped like a sardine in a can on the free shuttle bus which is always overpopulated. If the access to parking was more accessible to me, in my personal opinion I would drive to University every day.

Six:
Larsen, Urry, and Axhausen (2008) explores the simultaneous presence of individuals in the same physical location, not necessarily engaged in face to face interaction with each other. For example, catching the free shuttle at the same time everyday, you tend to run into the same people, either going to university, work, or other everyday commitments. Even though I may not know these individuals personally, I am given a level of comfort knowing that the faces I am seeing are familiar.

Seven:
Larsen, Urry and Axhausen (2008) suggest that clock time creates a punctual integration between all activities and creates a mutual relationship into a stable and impersonal time schedule. In my experience the clock time in my journey of knowing the peak hour for traffic on the road allows me to create a functional schedule in which I leave the house the same time everyday, thus having my routine having to be punctual, rational and

  • Walking And The Suburbanized Psyche Analysis

    1879 Words  | 8 Pages

    Before industrialization, people would make time for walking, just as they would make time to eat and drink. Through the decades the activity of walking has transformed due to the suburbanization of society. Many people have changed the way they view walking; this is a result of being exposed to suburbs, technology, and automobiles. In Rebecca Solnit’s essay, “Walking and the Suburbanized Psyche” she argues that the cultural activity of walking is fading due to suburbanization. The suburbanized psyche changes the way people think; most people want to get to their destination as soon as possible instead of walking and enjoying the wonders of nature.

  • No Mornings Don T Make You More Moral By Maria Konnikova Rhetorical Analysis

    1162 Words  | 5 Pages

    She begins by mentioning a research that claims rising early contributes to a better behavior. Next, she states that a person’s behavior is controlled by both chronotype and homeostatic sleep drive and not on the time of day. In order to support her arguments, Konnikova introduces a study by Sunita Sah, a scientist and a night owl. Finally, both Sah and the author conclude that rising early does not necessarily result in better behavior. In fact, Konnikova found that a person’s morality depends on his or her own preference, and that we should all embrace our chronotypes.

  • Blahnik's Views On Individual Identity

    249 Words  | 1 Pages

    Blahnik states “Since we cannot extricate ourselves from our own experience, any reality claims we might make are experiential. Since we are social animals, and our identities are formed socially, and our identities are inextricably connected to nature, any reality claims that we make in relation to nature products of society.” Blanik believes that we must engage with each other as experiential beings to have the record of the experience of dealing with each other and the growth of understanding self through the experiences being occurred. Without the experience of dealing with others, a person may not know how to have functional and healthy relationships with others. If the person lacks the experiences of interaction with other people in a social setting, the person will more likely than not have a distorted perception of reality.

  • Why Students Should Be Involved In Extracurricular Activities

    760 Words  | 4 Pages

    Time management is important to have because it helps get work done more efficiently and is a way to manage your priorities. Priorities along with making commitments are also learned from participating in a extra activity. Students learn how to prioritize their work when in activities while also finding a balance of everything else going on in their life; commitment is also learned but showing that a student needs to be 100% involved to put in their best effort to whatever they choose to do and to be be successful doing it. “Various research studies have lined participation in student activities to higher math and english grades, improved grades and homework completion, better performance on math, reading and science test, and an increased likelihood of applying to college” (Annemarie Mannion).

  • Examples Of Dualism

    803 Words  | 4 Pages

    A dualism found in my practice is that of the student to tourists which can be sub categorized under Tim Ingold’s concept of the wayfarer and the transporter. (To make things easier, I’m going to call the transporter a traveler.) This dualism can be found certainly around the UCSD campus, though it can be observed at other colleges and universities as well. The students are comparable to the inhabitants of a city who have an understanding of the area in which they walk everyday and an understanding of where they walk along, “proceeding along a path”. While a tourists could be said as someone going from one place to another, simply passing by, simply a traveler.
