Dangerous Habits Of Today's Drivers
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Contemporary society is in such a hurry and has so much to accomplish that getting certain tasks done in a timely fashion has created some dangerous habits for today's drivers. Added to the long-standing list of distractions people have when driving - unruly kids, being late, impatience - drivers routinely eat, apply makeup, read, talk/text on the cell phone, take impairing medications and - believe it or not - consume alcohol while maneuvering a two-thousand-pound vehicle made of piercing metal and glass as well as flammable gasoline. The false sense of security people have when getting behind the wheel is both grand and far-reaching; that it takes but the blink of an eye for an accident to happen speaks to the casual attitude today's drivers have with regard to operational safety.

Death Of A Grandmother: Stages of Death/Grieving For The Adult Grandson
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Talking about death and the issues that surround this event is never a simple effort; dealing with them on a personal level is that much more difficult for, say, an adult grandson who has just lost his grandmother. Many books that deal with this subject do so in such a way to end up coming across as patronizing and ineffective. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross's On Death and Dying reaches far beyond the typical approach, in that it addresses the depths of emotion, guilt, shame, anger and all other pertinent emotions that are associated with death in what she terms the Five Stages of Death.
