Homework 2: Urban Walking

 

Upon reading “Urban walking isn’t just good for the soul. It could save humanity”, I have taken into consideration that my daily commute for over 3 years has not changed, therefore I have grown accustom to it and only notice when major changes, such as a new shop, or a cleanup or renovation has taken place. The author describes aimless walking to be perceived as a bizarre occurrence, when in reality, it is quite a normal thing to do, and the fact that people do it, show that they are willing to take a step away from the internet or smartphones and enjoy outdoor activities for once.  I agree that it isn’t the safest or cleanest to be walking in a highly populated city, but trying to get to the countryside, or for urban dwellers, public parks can have a positive effect on the mind and humanity as a whole.
