should people be allowed to use mobile phone in public transportation(plane, train, bus)?
It seems that mobile phone has became the inalienable part of our lives. We often need to use mobile phone not only in our families or offices and also in the public. Some people, however, hold the view that people should not use mobile phone in the public transportation. As far as I am concerned, using mobile phone in public transportation is our rights, and thus I think people can use mobile phone in the public.
Before I defend using mobile phone in public is feasible, let me concede that somebody’s concerns are understandable. Some people may worry about the noise from people when they using mobile phone may put a negtive influence on the others. They think people should not put too much noise in public transportation because somebody maybe need and want a quiet environment. But now I have to highlight that public transportation is the part of social public, and thus we should consider different kind of situation. Somebody want a tranquil circumstance but somebody need to use mobile phone to communicate with his family, boss or friends. In my opinion, we can not forbid using mobile phone in public transportation only because somebody want a quiet environment. Cars, buses and othe vihicles definitely would make noise when they run on the street, shall we forbid this?
Moreover, sometimes we have to use mobile phone in public transportation in some cases. For instance, there was a time not so long ago, my mother,a manager of a factory, went out to buy some books in the Guangzhou books center with me. When we were taking the bus, suddenly my mother's phone was ringing. In this call, a factory's labor told my mother that somebody in the factory got hurt when he was working, and she needed to come back to resolve this emergency. If we cannot use mobile phone in public transportation, my mother would not know the information at fist time and would not decided to come back, therefore the injured labor would not be cured in hospital bacuse he has no money to pay.
In conclusion, Making noise is unavoidable, but we can lower our voice as far as possible we can, and sometimes we need to use mobile phone when we meet emergency. Consequently, in my perspective, we can use mobile phone in public transportation since it is our rights. |
