Solutions

Expert Solution

In first case, there are 2 aspects to be considerd, they are:

  1. Cost
    • Decreased family unity as people can travel to society easily.
    • Having or owning an automobile become a part of status.
    • Increased traffic accidents.
    • Increased air pollution.
  2. Benefits
    • Increased Socail activity as people can travel easily.
    • Large amount of jobs created in automobile industry.
    • Increased ability to travel.
    • Life was made more easier.

There is an old proverb that is "there is no rose without a thorn". For every positive thing, there wll be a negative side too. So, it is ot easy to own a private automobile without any negative aspects. But still, the developing technology is finding measures to reduce the negative impacts. This includes electric vehicles, self-driving vehicles,etc.Maybe, in the upcoming future, the developing technology may help us to have the freedom and convenience of private automobiles with much reduced negative aspects.
