Notes On Systems Analysis And Design

The facts are plain and simple, that alcohol and driving do not mix. About three in every ten Americans will be involved in an alcohol related crash at some time in their lives. Every single injury and death caused by drunk driving is totally preventable. To curb this national travesty, concerned Americans need to examine the problems, the effects, and the solutions to drunk driving. First of all, America has had a problem with drunk driving since Ford perfected the assembly line. Alcoholism is a problem in and of itself, but combined with driving can have a wide range of effects. The consequences of this reckless behavior can include a first time DUI or licenses suspension; a small fender bender, or worst of all a deadly crash. Most

We’ve all heard the phrase don’t drink and drive but how many people listen to this common sense. According to a statistic taken by the Century Council, 31 percent of car fatalities involved alcohol in 2013. Around fifty thousand claims of alcohol overdose is reported annually, what is seen as a social drink or a good times drink is

In 2013, 10,076 people were killed in drunk driving incidents. Out of those people, 65% (6,515) were drivers, 27% (2,724) were passengers, and 8% (837) were non-passengers (“Drunk Driving Statistics”). Over half of those fatalities (67.1%) involved blood alcohol levels over .15% (“Drunk Driving Statistics”). The legal blood-alcohol content is .08%. Drunk driving caused 31% of deaths in car crashes in 2013 (“Drunk Driving Statistics”). In 2012, 402 people were killed by alcohol impairment in North Carolina (“Drunk Driving Statistics”). These numbers, though they seem astonishing, have been cut in half since 1991 (“Drunk Driving Statistics”). Even though the number of fatalities has been lowered, that number is not low enough. Most drunk drivers are repeat offenders. Lives are being taken because of the careless attitude of the drunk drivers. Drunk driving is selfish; those who commit this crime do not think about the extreme consequences of their actions. In North America it is estimated that 1-5 drivers has been drinking and 1 in 10 is legally impaired on any Friday or Saturday night (Root). Many groups, including MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving), are fighting to stop drunk driving. Unfortunately, drunk driving cannot be stopped. People will always commit this heinous crime. The numbers may go down, but unfortunately there will always be a number. The only way to continually decrease the amount of lives lost is to increase punishments for drunk driving.

“Alcohol is a drug that has been passed down from generation to generation.” The alcohol industry makes people believe that with out the drinks there would be no holidays, no parties, no family gatherings. They tell you that you are cool if you drink. They have ads with amazing places, beautiful woman, and fun parties to promote drinking. What they don't tell you are all the casualties that are caused from the alcohol. 88,000 people in the United States alone pass away from alcohol related causes every year and 31% of car crashes are due to being impaired from alcohol. The War on Alcohol by Anna Quindalen was written to provide information about the negative effects of alcohol for not only the person drinking but the people around them. She

Traffic fatalities and accidents are mainly common among the drinkers who are newly legal regardless of the MLDA. According to the research, the highest number of accidents is primarily caused by those aged 24 years. These drivers cause these accidents as a result of alcohol

Approximately one million people are injured in alcohol-related traffic crashes every year and young people, ages 16 to 24 are involved in 28% of those alcohol-related driving accidents, although they make up only 14% of the U.S. population. On any given weekend evening, one in 10 drivers on America's roads has been drinking and according to the latest statistics, in a family of five the prospect of you or someone in your family being involved in an alcohol-related motor vehicle accident in their lifetime, is an astounding 200 percent. That's a lot of tragic, meaningless deaths that could actually have been avoided.

Those victims are found most of the time on the road where they were driving while intoxicated by alcohol and sometimes, they are just found dead poisoned by alcohol, either because it was their first time, or because they have been addicted to it. Much worse, there are also many diseases that results from it like hypotension, stress and even cancer. All of the diseases are responsible of a million deaths in Canada. It increases the mortality rate which is bad for the reputation of our country. There are even some cases when a little taste of beer or other alcoholic beverages leads to blindness or madness. The death rate will go higher and higher if we don’t raise the drinking age. Currently, 31% of rock stars die by a disease related to alcohol ("Time"). This is deceiving because nowadays alcohol has become a fun game to celebrities. Sometimes, alcohol appears as publicity in some music clip video. Nowadays ‘youth, naive as they can be, will consider it as a good example. That is what we call lack of maturity which will be discussed about

Alcohol is something that has been part of human nature for thousands of years. It has been used by means of medical, social, religious, and cultural settings (Information about Alcohol, n.d.). Alcohol is going to be a product that will be a part of our lives for many years to come, definitely past our lifetime. A problem that we see today is the use of drinking and driving. This is one of life’s more dangerous and stupid activities, but people still decide to do it. People like to push their abilities to the edge, which could end up causing death to themselves and others. When we watch the news, there always seems to be at least one crash that involved a drunk driver. You have to remember that one incident happened in our city,

Drunk driving takes 28 lives each day, which accumulates to over 10,000 people each year in just the United States (MADD Statistics). In 2011, 316 people died in Ohio due to drunk driving (The Century Council – Ohio). Alcohol by definition is “depressant derived from the fermentation of natural sugars in fruits, vegetables and grains” (What is Alcohol). Alcohol is considered a drug and in excess can be deadly not only to those consuming it but also to those around them. The higher one’s blood alcohol content, or BAC, is the more likely they are to hurt themselves and the people around them. There are guidelines set to determine how high one’s blood alcohol content can be to legally drive, but enforcing these laws can be a struggle. In

If you drink and drive, you are not only a danger to yourself but also to your passenger, other road users and pedestrians. In fact, every 30 minutes, someone in this country dies in alcohol-related crash. Every 30 minutes! And last year alone more than one million people are injured in

Alcohol in large doses can be very detrimental to not only the user but to people around him/her. For example, if a man was to go to a club and drink a lot of alcohol, in which his body cannot withhold; his heavy intakes will lead to dizziness, vomiting, and impaired breathing and in extreme cases, unconsciousness and coma that can lead to death. According to Caron, underage drinking is a leading public health problem in the United States. Each year, approximately 5,000 young people under the age of 21 die as a result of drinking: 1,900 from motor vehicle accidents, 1,600 from homicides, 300 from suicides, and hundreds from other injuries such as falls, burns, and drowning. This shows that anyone on the road near an intoxicated driver is in grave danger as they can be killed or badly injured in an instant as the drunk driver has slight control over anything they are doing. Many reckless kills have been made by drunken drivers/people over the years resulting in many families to pay the price of losing a family member for no relevant reason at all but making alcohol increase death rates that could be provoked by intruding prohibition.

This is my reflective consolidation paper which is an end of course assignment and writing this essay about the experience I had while studying the course System analysis and design. When I went to my advisor for advising courses then she told me about System analysis and design and explained me clearly about this course then this course made me realise that I have a lot to learn and found it as very interesting and challenging.

In Canada impaired driving is the leading criminal cause of death and injury. Although there are many laws to avert drunk driving, is it truly being addressed adequately?. Each day on average 4 people are killed by impaired driving. Impaired driving can includes alcohol and drugs. Driving under the influence can lead to loss of your licence, vehicle impounded, paying an administrative monetary penalty, attending an education or treatment program, fined upon conviction, installation of an ignition interlock device, jail time and a criminal record. National Posts, “Canada’s drunk-driving death rate worst among wealthy countries, U.S. study finds” that out of 19 wealthy countries, Canada is placed first for deaths attached to drunk driving. The percentage of deaths for Canada has come to 34%. The Canadian law could adequately address drunk driving more effectively.

There is still a large number of traffic fatalities involving alcohol and this is not acceptable. “Every two hours, three people are killed in alcohol-related highway crashes. The consequences of drinking and driving are arrests, property damage, injuries, and thousands of deaths each year” (Chambers 1). In 2010, there were about four million U.S adults reported for driving under the influence. “Alcohol-related highway crashes accounted for 13,365 deaths in 2010, and to top that off, the alcohol-related accidents cost Americans an

There have been so many car accidents that could have been avoided if alcohol was not involved. A drunk driver does not only put him/herself in jeopardy, but they also put others at risk as well. According to an article on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “Every day, 28 people in the United State die in motor vehicle crashes that involve an alcohol-impaired driver. This is one death every 51 minutes. The annual cost of alcohol-related crashes totals more than $44 billion” (“Motor Vehicle Safety”). People spend so much money on car accidents, due to them driving intoxicated, that they do not realize that they can use that money to better their futures and to have a better life, instead of fixing their cars. “ In 2015, 10,265 people died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes, accounting for nearly one-third (29%) of all traffic-related deaths in the United States” (“Motor Vehicle Safety”). We lose so many people due to alcohol, and people do not care and keep driving while being intoxicated. They do not realize the harm they are causing to our society until something happens to
