Answer:
<u> Speech about "Public And Private Transport"</u>
Nowadays people from all over the world are suffering from air pollution. One of the reasons for such a situation is the constantly increasing car usage. Are we able to do something in order to encourage people not to use private cars or to use them less? To be honest, there are only several things we can do. Among them is propaganda of the risks caused by private car usage. We can provide people with the main benefits they can get by using public transport and make the transportation prices more affordable.
First of all, advertisement is a very powerful “weapon”. Many people can remember the ad they saw several years ago. Advertisement has a very strong effect. It can impress people, influence their thoughts and even change them. Of course, it is impossible to encourage all people from all over the world to use public transport only. But still, a certain number of people will definitely give up using cars and will give preferences to the public transport as time goes by.
Moreover, we can also provide people with the benefits they can get from the usage of public transport. For example, it is possible to provide those people who use public transport with a 20% discount when they need to buy something. Also, it is possible to implement special cards that will be some kind of an opportunity to change bus to train for free.
As a final point, let’s take a look at one more thing we can provide people with in order to encourage them to use public transport. It would be advisable to make the public transportation prices lower. Let’s suppose that you pay 40$ per month to drive your own car. If you give preference to public transport, it will cost 20$ per month. What would you pick as the method of transportation? Sorry to say that it may be quite hard to set the price of 20$ for public transport, as transportation companies may be against such fee’s reduction. But if it happens one day, a great number of people would give up their cars and prefer public transport in order to prevent congestion and air pollution.
I’m 100% sure that all the ways we’ve mentioned above are still really good methods to encourage people to use public transport instead of private cars.
Explanation:
The main ideas shaping US imperialism were "Manifest destiny" and the "White man's burden". Manifest destiny refers to the 19th century belief that the United States were meant to expand across North America because of the particular excellence of its (white) people and (democratic) institutions. This lead to the Trail of Tears, among other atrocities. Once the US reached the Pacific Ocean, new lands came into view (Puerto Rico, the Phillipines). Manifest destiny became entwined with the idea that "civilized" nations had a moral obligation to colonize other peoples, which Rudyard Kipling summed up in his poem "White Man's Burden". The tensions in this "benevolent imperialism" were never fully resolved; the US invasion of Irak was launched under similar pretenses (the invasion was "for the good" of those invaded). The idea that other peoples have a right to self determination regardless of their level of development has not yet become accepted by the great powers, including the US.
