'Road Rage' effects.

Kyoko Altman (July 18, 1997) in “‘Road Rage’ runs rampant in high-stress U.S. society”, explains about effects of road rage. In the present day, a lot of people have died from car accidents even right now. A more important thing is that over 50% of people who have been killed, have been killed because of road rage. Brenda Fraser said that a car on a highway is like a loaded gun. So every driver must think of other drivers, because if you don’t, it would cause a huge accident. Dr. Arnold Neremberg said that not only is road rage a mental disorder, but also every driver should recognize their problem. Most states in U.S. have been clamping down and giving road ragers punishment. I am going to write about why road rage comes. Road rage comes because of traffic jams, reckless driving and when we have to stop often.

First, road rage comes from traffic jams. For instance, when you drive at rush hour, you won’t move even a little bit. Then you will get angry. If you get angry, it would cause an accident. So you should solve your stress problem with other methods, but you shouldn’t release your stress on the road.

The second one is, road rage comes from reckless driving. For example if some driver drives violently around you, you will get stress, then you will also drive violently. So every driver has to have consideration for other drivers.

Finally, road rage comes when you have to stop often, because of traffic signal, railroad train or cross walks. For example, you are really in a hurry, but you have to stop so many places, after that you are stressed out. And you will not stop, or drive violently. It will definitely cause an accident to happen. So you should have time when you drive; never make haste.

Road rage has been killing us even now. For this reason, what we have to do is never solve stress problems by driving, drive violently or we need to make haste. If all drivers keep these things, accidents will decrease a lot.

College student

The article “College students screaming for stress relief” says that a lot of universities’ students have stress that is from life in university recently. When they are really stressed out, they do something to work out their problems. For example, at some universities students do scream, and others do a run without their clothes. There are so many other ways to relieve stress, like jumping and playing dodgeball. Also some other universities offer “midnight breakfast” while they take exams. Most students have many kinds of stress nowadays, so universities need to care and understand their students more.

Food

I hate the food that makes me feel bloated, like fast food. They are, of course, more convenient than cooking, but it is going to be seriously mortal for your health. The most important thing is everyone knows that would be harmful; they can’t stop eating fast food, however. On the other side, I like the food that I cook. It is not really delicious but I always think about my health while cooking. But one thing wrong is that I don’t really like vegetables. I try to eat vegetables recently for my health, but it’s quite more difficult than I thought. The most difficult thing is that I can not eat Korean foods that tastes like what I eat in Korea. It will be fine, if I cook much better than now. So I am going to learn how to cook better,from now on.

Cash flow

Ed Ewing and Rachel Jasper (Monday April 4, 2005) in “Cash flow not debt causes student stress, scientists told”, explain why most university students have negative minds. Since university tuition has increased, students have gotten a high amount of debt. Dr Scott, who is from the University of Bath, questioned over 200 students about debt and how to manage debt. From the survey, most students have stress from not only a lot of debt but also they don’t borrow the amount money that students really need. This circumstance comes from he fact that few of them really know how to manage money. So this description tells us, we ought to learn how to spend and handle money when we are younger. It means most parents provide everything to their sons and daughters. So it results in their not knowing how to manage money.
