　　issue：120"So much is new and complex today that looking back for an understanding of the past provides little guidance for living in the present."

　　7. The video camera provides such an accurate and convincing record of contemporary life that it has become a more important form of documentation than written records.

　　argument：18. The following appeared in an editorial in a Prunty County newspaper.

　　"In an attempt to improve highway safety, Prunty County recently(1) lowered its speed limit from 55 miles per hour to 45 on all major county roads. But the 55 mph limit should be restored, because this safety effort has failed. Most drivers are exceeding the new speed limit(4) and the accident rate throughout Prunty County (2)has decreased only slightly(3). If we want to improve the safety of our roads, we should instead undertake the same kind of road improvement project that Butler County completed five years ago(7): increasing lane widths and resurfacing rough roads(8). Today, major Butler County roads still have a 55 mph speed limit, yet there were 25 percent fewer reported(6) accidents in Butler County this past year than there were five years ago(5)."
