Write an essay in which you explain the advantages and disadvantages of both older and newer methods of transportation. Use evidence from both passages in your essay.

Answer and Explanation:

Transportation methods are an essential element for the construction of civilizations, as it allowed the movement of peoples, products and even allowed communication. Given this importance, it is not surprising how this element has evolved over the years.

Although we have very modern and fast means of transport, humanity has already been subjected to less modern means of transport with less technology. A major advantage of these means of transport is the environmental sustainability that they promoted. An example of this is the use of horses that older people used to get around. As horses did not need to burn fuel to move, they did not pollute the environment, but represented slow transport and could not take long trips without breaks and did not allow international travel.

With the advance of technology, industrialization and human needs, the means of transport have evolved, until reaching the means of transport that we currently have. The great advantage of these transport is the agility with which the trips are made and the lack of limited territory reached. We can go anywhere in the world with several different transportation options. However, this is done with the burning of fuels, which promotes a great deterioration of our environment, which is already very degraded.

Therefore, we can say that there is a challenge for the means of transport of the future. They must maintain or increase efficiency and agility, but decrease the need for fuel and environmental degradation. Thus we will have means of transport that are fast and committed to sustainability.

From Chapter 9: Of Their Voyage, and How They Passed the Sea; and of Their Safe Arrival at Cape Cod (September, 1620)


1Start of paragraph 1 of 13In sundry of these storms the winds were so fierce and the seas so high, as they could not bear a knot of sail, but were forced to hull for divers days together. And in one of them, as they thus lay at hull in a mighty storm, a lusty young man called John Howland, coming upon some occasion above the gratings was, with a seele of the ship, thrown into sea; but it pleased God that he caught hold of the topsail halyards which hung overboard and ran out at length. Yet he held his hold (though he was sundry fathoms under water) till he was hauled up by the same rope to the brim of the water, and then with a boat hook and other means got into the ship again and his life saved. And though he was something ill with it, yet he lived many years after and became a profitable member both in church and commonwealth. In all this voyage there died but one of the passengers, which was William Butten, a youth, servant to Samuel Fuller, when they drew near the coast.

2Start of paragraph 2 of 13....

3Start of paragraph 3 of 13Being thus arrived in a good harbor, and brought safe to land, they fell upon their knees and blessed the God of Heaven who had brought them over the vast and furious ocean, and delivered them from all the perils and miseries thereof, again to set their feet on the firm and stable earth, their proper element. And no marvel if they were thus joyful, seeing wise Seneca was so affected with sailing a few miles on the coast of his own Italy, as he affirmed, that he had rather remain twenty years on his way by land than pass by sea to any place in a short time, so tedious and dreadful was the same unto him.

4Start of paragraph 4 of 13But here I cannot but stay and make a pause, and stand half amazed at this poor people's present condition; and so I think will the reader, too, when he well considers the same. Being thus passed the vast ocean, and a sea of troubles before in their preparation (as may be remembered by that which went before), they had now no friends to welcome them nor inns to entertain or refresh their weatherbeaten bodies; no houses or much less towns to repair to, to seek for succor. It is recorded in Scripture as a mercy to the Apostle and his shipwrecked company, that the barbarians showed them no small kindness in refreshing them, but these savage barbarians, when they met with them (as after will appear) were readier to fill their sides full of arrows than otherwise. And for the season it was winter, and they that know the winters of that country know them to be sharp and violent, and subject to cruel and fierce storms, dangerous to travel to known places, much more to search an unknown coast. ...

5Start of paragraph 5 of 13From Chapter 11: The Starving Time (Winter, 1620–1621)

6Start of paragraph 6 of 13But that which was most sad and lamentable was, that in two or three months' time half of their company died, especially in January and February, being the depth of winter, and wanting houses and other comforts; being infected with the scurvy and other diseases which this long voyage and their inaccommodate condition had brought upon them. So as there died some times two or three of a day in the foresaid time, that of 100 and odd persons, scarce fifty remained. And of these, in the time of most distress, there was but six or seven sound persons who to their great commendations, be it spoken, spared no pains night nor day, but with abundance of toil and hazard of their own health, fetched them wood, made them fires, dressed them meat, made their beds, washed their loathsome clothes, clothed and unclothed them. In a word, did all the homely and necessary offices for them which dainty and queasy stomachs cannot endure to hear named; and all this willingly and cheerfully, without any grudging in the least, showing herein their true love unto their friends and brethren; a rare example and worthy to be remembered. Two of these seven were Mr. William Brewster, their reverend Elder, and Myles Standish, their Captain and military commander, unto whom myself and many others were much beholden in our low and sick condition. And yet the Lord so upheld these persons as in this general calamity they were not at all infected either with sickness or lameness. ...

What the correct answer

Read this excerpt from "Heads Up on Sports Safety."

Your neck can also get hurt while playing football, so many helmet designers are using materials that prevent neck injuries. One common injury is whiplash, which is a sudden hit to the head that moves the neck very quickly. Neck padding can help, but materials that prevent the head from turning can decrease athletic performance. One alternative is to use a thermoplastic material that responds differently to different kinds of pressure. This material is soft when moved or pressed slowly but stiffens into a hard version of its shape when hit quickly. It has been used in bulletproof vests for at least a decade.

One problem and its solution presented in this article is

the possibility of whiplash and the use of thermoplastic material to prevent the neck from turning very quickly.
the efforts made by helmet designers to find new protective materials and the use of thermoplastic material to prevent neck injuries.
the fact that neck injuries can be hard to avoid and the occurrence of whiplash when the head moves quickly.
the probability of head injuries in sports and the use of bulletproof vests by athletes to stay safe.
