Surprisingly, modern historians have rarely been interested in the history of the American South in the period before the South began to become self-consciously “Southern”. Consequently, the cultural history of Britain’s North American Empire in the 17th and 18th centuries has been written almost as if the Southern colonies had never existed. The American culture that emerged during the Colonial periods has been depicted as having been simply an extension of New England Puritan culture. However, Professor Davis has recently argued that the South stood apart from the rest of American society during this early period, following its own unique pattern of cultural development. The case for Southern distinctiveness rests upon two related premises(前提): the first: the cultural similarities among the five Southern colonies were far more impressive than the differences; the second: what made those colonies alike also made them different from other colonies. The first, for which Davies offers an enormous amount of evidence, ; the second is far more problematic.What makes the second premise problematic is the use of the Puritan colonies as a basis for comparison. Quite properly, Davis condemns the excessive influence ascribed by historians to the Puritans in the formation of American culture. Yet Davis carelessly adds weight to such ascriptions by using the puritans as the standard against which to assess the achievements and contributions of Southern colonials. Throughout, Davis focuses on the important differences between the Southern and Puritan colonies in patterns of early settlement, in attitudes toward nature and Native Americans, and in the degree of receptivity (接受能力) to metropolitan cultural influences.
However, recent scholarship has strongly suggested that aspects of early New England culture that seem to have been most distinctly puritan, such as the strong religious orientation, were largely confined to the Massachusetts and Connecticut.

Stricter Traffic Law can Prevent Accidents
From the health point of view we are living in a marvelous age. We are immunized from birth against many of the most dangerous diseases. A large number of once fatal illnesses can now be cured by modern drugs and surgery. It is almost certain that one day remedies will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases. The expectation of life has increased enormously. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the incredible slaughter of men, women and children on the roads. Man versus the motor-car ! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.
It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel, his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man’s very worst qualities. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They swear, they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-years-olds and utterly selfish. All their hidden frustrations, disappointments and jealousies seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving.
The surprising thing is that society smiles so benignly on the motorist and seems to condone his behaviour. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy tragic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is desecrated by road networks; and the mass annual slaughter becomes nothing more than a statistic, to be conveniently forgotten.
It is high time a world code were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are notoriously lax and even the strictest are not strict enough. A code which was universally accepted could only have a dramatically beneficial effect on the accident rate. Here are a few examples of some the things that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through stringent annual tests for safety. Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can impair a person’s driving ability. Present drinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be mad much stricter. Maximum and minimum speed limits should be imposed on all roads. Governments should lay down safety specifications for manufacturers, as has been done in the USA. All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned. These measures may sound inordinately harsh. But surely nothing should be considered as to severe if tit results in reducing the annual toll of human life. After all, the world is for human beings, not motor-cars.

Are you alright?
Are you alright?
Can you speak?
Happening the way things are gray
Just lay it on thick, I can’t see
And erase me in your childish fits
Illuminate me in the progress of forgetting me
I’ll be here not too far for a quick check up
Are you alright?
Can you speak? Hands that can’t grasp, or anything for a change
A rush of opposites crack in halves, and no words to be found as I listen more and more
As I see my days fade away
Seasons change and seasons gray
The way things are happening
Cast poverty through out the night
Poor less than you more
Aches of pain, Are you alright?
Your muffled mouth, Can you speak?
And so you’ll see, that no matter if in day dreams, no words can ever escape from me
From the bottom of misguidance
To the middle of a work in progress
Seasons fade and change the way
Things are happening kind of gray
Can you speak?
Happening the way things are gray
Just lay it on thick, I can’t see
And erase me in your childish fits
Illuminate me in the progress of forgetting me
I’ll be here not too far for a quick check up
Are you alright?
Can you speak? Hands that can’t grasp, or anything for a change
A rush of opposites crack in halves, and no words to be found as I listen more and more
As I see my days fade away
Seasons change and seasons gray
The way things are happening
Cast poverty through out the night
Poor less than you more
Aches of pain, Are you alright?
Your muffled mouth, Can you speak?
And so you’ll see, that no matter if in day dreams, no words can ever escape from me
From the bottom of misguidance
To the middle of a work in progress
