Egypt Case

Established after the Bronze Age collapse and the disintegration of the New Kingdom of Egypt, it was centered at Napata in its early phase. After King Kashta ("the Kushite") invaded Egypt in the 8th century BC, the Kushite kings ruled as pharaohs of the Twenty-fifth dynasty of Egypt for a century, until they were expelled by Psamtik I in 656 BC.Making Pedestrians Lives Safer

A quick walk to a nearby convenience store or grocery store is an action that people take for granted as many assume that they will make it there and back safely. That is exactly what happened to Stanley Propst, 75, of Fayetteville, North Carolina. According to Nancy McClearly of The Fayetteville Observer, Stanley was crossing a road in an area that did not have a crosswalk and was struck and killed by a vehicle on December 1, 2012 (McClearly 3B). Unfortunately, there is an increase in the number of accidents and fatalities involving pedestrians being hit by motor vehicles in these very trips that every citizen takes for granted. People may say that it does not concern them because they do not walk anywhere, but these accidents affect drivers just as much as they do pedestrians. This issue has a growing concern that hits the hearts of all compassionate people, as the majority of the victims in these accidents are children between the ages of five and nine (Harkey and Zeeger 3). This preventable issue is affecting the safety of children and can be traced back to the lack of proper crosswalks both in sub-urban and urban areas and the lack of education between both pedestrians and motorists alike. The solutions to reduce the growing number of pedestrian fatalities must include installation of crosswalks designed for pedestrian safety as well as increased education for both motorist and pedestrians alike. All of these steps are necessary in order to insure that all pedestrians are protected from senseless accidents.

The already unacceptable high number of pedestrian deaths in this country is nothing new, but the numbers have been increasing steadily in the past few years. This problem occurs every day, and with 4,749 pedestrians killed and more than 70,000 were injured in 2008, it is an issue that cannot be ignored anymore; furthermore, the majority of the victims are children (Harkey and Zeeger 3). As explained by David L. Harkey and Charles V. Zegeer of the Federal Highway Administration, the issue begins to touch the heart of all citizens. The lack of proper
