A she friend, that has come from Europe recently, narrates unpretentious of banal comparisons, that on the streets and wide freeways of the countries she visited, the road and social discipline is such that not even a horn is heard. There are not noisy trucks or motorcycles, aloud conversation or a laughter. In her case the nostalgia was so particular that she missed the noisy rehearsals in previous days to the carnival.

In daily walking by this city one find people that narrate the irregularities that affect the community. In many cases the solution depends on the will of our fellows, of his or her education, as well as of their capacity to live in society or of another factor, the people's culture.

First example: One sometimes has to travel behind a vehicle that produces a smoky atmosphere, so it is nesessary to stop the car to avoid the situation.

Second example: The drivers park the cars without turning off the motor during several minutes that seem hours.
In order to protect the environment from polluting gases the state must prohibit the circulation of means of transpaortation that damage our breathing.

The air we breathe must also be more protected by those who smoke in public places, which means respect for the other people's life and the own one.
