Why do some street lights turn off when I walk near or under them?
2 There's one on the bridge two blocks from my house that does that--we've decided it's HAUNTED...
Cecil Adams investigated this one a while back, and an awful lot of people seem to be convinced that street lamps turn off when they walk by. The answer is a combination of engineering and psychology. Street lamps go out, entirely on their own.
They cycle on and off, especially as the lamp gets older and they require more voltage to keep going, causing overheating. Then you walk by 10,000 street lamps and notice only the one that happens to go out when you're walking by it. You don't notice any of the ones that didn't go out because they didn't do anything interesting.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
