Decisions about Science & Technology play a significant role in shaping our future society. In Chapter 11 of our textbook, the example of traffic congestion is provided which relates to a city like Toronto. There are two identified solutions to the problem of traffic congestion: Widen the roads OR improve the public transport system. If the roads are widened it makes commuting to the city more appealing but it will also increase the number of vehicles on the road. On the other hand, if the public transport system is improved it will decrease the number of vehicles on the road and could decrease the time it takes to commute.

Jones’ girlfriend had always wanted to see the band perform live, and Jones thought nothing could be better than a romantic trip to see the band play live on Valentine’s Day. Jones managed to keep the concert tickets a surprise until they landed in Belfast – in their hotel room she opened the envelope in which he had placed the concert tickets for her favorite band. Jones was surprised when his girlfriend, rather than jumping for joy, simply turned to him with a puzzled look on her face.
