Although text messaging is considered the most dangerous effect while driving a car, its negative effects have nothing to do with a conversation on a cell phone. Research shows that texting and talking while driving is dangerous because cell phone use leads to accidents on the road. Most people would say that texting is more dangerous than talking on a cell phone, which I agree, but not entirely. If someone were to ask the question “Which is more dangerous: texting while driving or talking while driving?” “The person would likely respond by texting while driving, because they can simply compare the two by considering texting while driving as looking away and considering talking while driving as still looking at the road. However, this may be the correct way to answer the question, but it is not the correct way because the person is simply answering a question based on their point of view and without knowledge of the question being asked. Usually people answer questions based on their view of things, which is wrong. Let's say if a person were to take a test and had knowledge about a topic, but not enough knowledge to answer the question, then the person's second option would be to view the question in a different way to find an answer, This is How Our Mind Works When we don't have the information to answer a question, we see things in different types of questions to try to find the right answer, which sometimes works. In this case the person would be wrong to respond by texting when driving is more dangerous, this answer would be wrong because I think conversing is more dangerous because I have done the research and gained the knowledge to prove that texting while driving is less dangerous. ...... middle of paper ...... 762-770.
