Where are you at seven o'clock on a Monday morning? If you're like most workers, you wake up for work. Fast forward to eight o'clock, the car starts and off we go to join the morning commute. In everyday life, sitting in the car becomes repetitive and thoughts start to wander. During this thought, the thought of unlimited speed and unobstructed highways overflows into every corner of your brain, but the traffic begins to move again and these thoughts dissipate. This anecdote is an example of cultural value, particularly the value of freedom; the freedom to drive fast. The problem with this type of value is that it can undermine another person's self-worth and security. Many countries therefore have different perspectives on what freedom of roads and driving means to them. A nation's perspective on the value of freedom is directly linked to the safety of its roads. The construction of Das Autobahn reflects Germany's national perspective on the value of freedom. Germans, one might say, consider driving a national value. This state of mind is reflected in the configuration of their highways. The beginnings of the road network began before World War II. It was at this time that the car made its debut to the general public. Putting great strain on dilapidated dirt roads, the car is forcing the government to think outside the box and find new ways to move the massive amounts of traffic expected in the future. The government finds a section of road built along the Rhine that fits its vision (Oster 45). This vision of freedom, built along the Rhine, allows all of Germany to interconnect thanks to this highway system. The German government wastes no time on bureaucracy and...... middle of paper...... Security administration fig. 1). There is a connection between driver training and value creation with the value of the freedom to drive. The value of freedom is very important in a society. Without freedom, society would be a dystopia. A dystopia means that nothing is done for pleasure, every action is done out of necessity. The way America views the freedom to travel, especially driving and roads, creates drivers and roads built on the basis of entitlement. The law only erodes value within value. Without any meaning, driving becomes something that people are allowed to participate in because they are 18 years old. Without meaning, road construction becomes a necessity and their existence has no value beyond logistics. Driving and building roads must become something that we as a nation are proud of and value, just as we are proud of and value the right to free speech..
