Feasibility Study Of A Sustainable Transportation Facility For Pedestrians Paper ID 53

Abstract

In major cities of India, walking is still preferred as a mode of transportation. Pedestrians contribute a major share of road users in most of the urban cities of India.

  • Essay On Hero's Journey Or Monomyth

    1569 Words  | 7 Pages

    Throughout history, humans have crafted countless stories of heroes, from the ancient journeys of Beowulf and Odysseus, to the modern ones of Harry Potter and Meredith Grey. At first glance, these stories are diverse in the extreme, coming from all different cultures and about all manner of heroes. One might think such different tales have nothing in common, but upon a closer examination, one notices a single plot template that is featured in almost every good story ever written. This idea, that heroic stories usually follow the same sequence of action, was realized by a mythologist named Joseph Campbell. Campbell calls this template the ‘Hero’s Journey’ or ‘Monomyth’, which has three major parts: separation, initiation, and return.

    I would imagine that your life is more important than anything you have to do. There should never be any excuse why you have to cross the railroad crossing illegally. When the bells are ringing and the lights are flashing at a railroad crossing you should always stop no matter what. When you approach a railroad crossing you should slow down and never cross a car at a railroad crossing. A train can’t stop instantly and it can’t swerve out of the way.

    When Neil Armstrong first touched down on the moon in 1969, millions of people watched him take the first step and create history (Villard). Yet even as we’ve moved on from the moon landings and consider them as a pivotal point for mankind, “Forty years after U.S. astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the moon, many conspiracy theorists still insist the Apollo 11 moon landing was an elaborate hoax”(Than). The idea that our voyage to the moon was deliberately staged seems to resurface year after year. While the conspiracy theorists claim the moon landing was a hoax, creating a fake moon landing would have been more expensive and difficult than actually reaching the moon. The race to the moon began on October 5, 1957, when the Soviet Union launched Sputnik into orbit around the earth: “When the Soviet Union launched the satellite Sputnik, on October 4, 1957, the United States experienced a technological identity crisis”(Olson).
