In an aggressive and concerned tone the writer contends that all cars of this sort should be banned from public roads, to an audience of law abiding citizens and 4WD owners using plenty of statistics and appeals to attempt to persuade the readers to agree with her. 4WDs are the most aggressive vehicle type. Masters states that 4WDs are ‘hulking, huge, high seated’ to emphasise to the readers that these cars are too big to be safe on public roads and should be banned. She then goes on to bring out statistics of how many crashes have occurred (5.89% per 100 crashes) and the amount of children that have died due to these death machines, in an attempt to persuade the audience to agree to her idea of getting the cars banned.

Some specific examples of prejudice would be when Princess Diana was killed in the car accident because she was being followed by paparazzi. I think that the world judged her because of the situation and expected certain things from here because she was a princess. We are all human and make mistakes. Even the higher ones do.

The Moral Blindness of a Post-Modern Society in “Killings” In Andre Dubus’s short story “Killings,” Dubus emphasizes the idea that there are significant amounts of moral blindness in a post-modern society. He uses not only personal relationships, like those between Frank, Mary Ann, and Richard, but also society as a whole to show how this idea of moral blindness affects everyone. Dubus uses the idea of moral blindness in the story like a crack in a windshield; it starts out small, but as the crack continues to grow, it becomes more dangerous for everyone in the car. No person in this post-modern society is safe from becoming morally blind, but Dubus makes a point to show that nature is unscathed by this pandemic, and is the only morally straight element in this story. Dubus uses the love triangle between Frank, Mary Ann, and Richard to create the idea that love can be a factor in moral blindness.
