For my social norm project, I chose to relax in a strange location. Initially I had planned to lie down on a beach towel next to a stop sign but, I changed my mind and decided to lie next to a walking path so that it would be easier to observe people’s reactions. The location that I chose was next to the walking path behind the Dairy Queen in downtown Brighton specifically the place where the path branches off to a boardwalk over the mill pond. I placed my beach towel right next to a sign that detailed

When traversing highways and interstates, people run into many different types of drivers. Those operating vehicles all fall into a certain category. Drivers, though more than likely not self-aware, have a very specific way of driving that allows them to fall into such a category; however, drivers typically do not have a problem calling out other drivers on their faults. It would almost seem that a long trip or even a quick run anywhere is really just a never ending sequence of blaring horns and

Characters in narrative fiction often encounter social issues within society causing them to question the morality of society as well as their own. Leonard Mead, the protagonist in “The Pedestrian” recognizes that he is alone in his world of 2053 for not adapting to a life overwhelmed by technology. Society is so immersed in technology it impedes social interaction. A policeman arrests Leonard Mead for walking at night because that is a rare sight in this futuristic society. Ray Bradbury describes

In my story ¨The Pedestrian¨ the story takes place in 2052 and is based around technology. The main character's name is Leonard and he is a very lonely character who likes to experience the real world. Leonard likes to walk at night while everyone else is inside watching tv. When he walks at night all of the streets are vacant as he describes as he has been walking for many years and thousands of miles and he had never seen anyone else in all of time he had been walking. The theme of the story

stuck out to me. “Percentage of fatal car–pedestrian collisions in which the driver is found to be drunk : 15 In which the pedestrian is : 34” Even though I have not been affected by this, or know of anyone, I felt that learning more about this and raising awareness could save others from pain in the future. Drunk driving is very prevalent in today’s society and there is a lot of awareness put on it. But, when seeing that the number of drunk pedestrians that cause fatal accidents are far more than

Albert Einstein once said, “ I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots.” In the story of The Pedestrian, written by Ray Bradbury, the main character Leonard Mead, feels alone in the world he lives in, which is run by technology. This is a prime example of how technology can take over a society. In this story personal interactions, and individuality is limited. Not only is personal interactions in this story is limited and rare

During our assessment of Westgate Hill Primary Academy there were many aspects that affect the walkability of the school as well as the surrounding area. Walkability is very important when looking at an area in and around a primary school due to the amount of young children that are walking as a mode of transport to and from school. In our investigation we firstly looked into the variables which may affect the walkability for young students, these variables are: • Street connectivity – We noticed

California Vehicle Code Section 22500 (f) — Application in the City of Los Angeles The City of Los Angeles is notorious for its space congestion: in most neighborhoods, simply finding an open parking spot is considered a luxury. To make matters worse, California vehicle code section 22500 (f) exacerbates Los Angeles congestion as it precludes vehicles from extending over any portion of a sidewalk or onto a street. This paper will draw attention to the fact that 22500 requires amendment, doing so

The four papers about pedestrian detection we chose to summarize were great and informative, all suggested useful techniques and new ideas in deep learning for pedestrian detection. However, there were few open issues or room for improvement in some of the papers. Here are some of the ideas we suggested to resolve these issues in each paper. Joint Deep Learning for Pedestrian Detection (UDN) Even though the Unified Deep Net (UDN) method learned features by designing hidden layers for the Convolutional
