Parking Problems

1334 Words6 Pages

The domain of my topic is parking. I have chosen this important issue of parking because I believe a lot of times this issue is not given much importance ignoring the fact that it has huge impacts on the travel behavior of the general public. With the increased issues related to congested road traffic, air pollution and noisy environment, I feel I need to address the root cause of these issues that is the non-availability of parking spaces. I have prepared a lot of research on this issue because I want to talk about this issue from the public’s point of view and want to know why and how it causes problems and how can the traffic related problems like accident, road jam, air pollution can be solved by the availability of parking. Moreover I have discussed this issue with students from various universities like Lahore University of Management Sciences, Bahria University and my own Lahore School of Economics. …show more content…

  • Beneath The Shadow Of The Freeway Analysis

    947 Words  | 4 Pages

    The poem Beneath the Shadow of the Freeway written by Lorna Dee Cervantes, and the movie Hidden Figures originally a book written by Margot Lee Shetterly both convey the theme of empowerment to hard-working, strong women who can be just as smart and diligent as a man without the actual help of one. Both Dee Cervantes’ poem and Shetterly’s movie/book voice the importance of being strong willed as a women and making a life for yourself regardless your situation.

In my eyes, Homelessness is a factor of societal forces such as high cost of housing and living and also society having failed systems to support people who are stuck in these sorts of situations.
