The given map illustrates a village with growing population since the middle of the 19th century called Chorleywood and it's developement from 1868 to 1994.

Overall, Chorleywood expanded significantly within a timespan of almost 130 years. Moreover new transportation routes and settlements developed during this period.

While between 1868 and 1883 there were only a small settlement with a main road, after 1883 the village's area almost tripled to it's size. Not only village became larger also had a new route other than main road, which is the railway that built in 1909. Between 1922 and 1970 majority of the expantions occured within the area of the railway and the city expanded horizontally. After the built of the motorway in 1970, Chorleywood's new developements gather around the new motorway and sides of the roads.

It can be observed that all the three transportation routes connect with eachother at some point therefore most of the extention happened in these connected areas.

Mobile phone usage is increasing dramatically and there is a belief that the use of mobile phones are just antisocial as smoking therefore it should be banned in some places like smoking. I do not agree that cell phones are antisocial as smoking however thay should be restricted in some areas.

First of all, smoking is the source of some biggest health problems such as lung cancer and tumours. It is not just harmful to the smoker but also to people nearby considering they also breath in the smoke that hangs in the air. While cigarettes, in fact, disturb everyone at any circumstances, mobile phones do not cause a problem or irritation on indiviual use. It is possible to put a phone on a silent mode but impossible to block smoke from a cigarette.

On the other hand, there are some circumstances where even a phone on a silent mode can be disturbing such as cinema or theatre. There is no doubt that they are essential to comminication and emergencies. However the light of the screen will glow in the dark even though it is on lowest setting and irritate other viewers moreover disturb the actors. To overcome this problem mobile phones must be banned in these places.

To sum up, smoking is not only antisocial, but harmful to people's healths therefore should be banned in indoors, while mobile phones can only be identified as antisocial in some areas under specific circumstances. That being said, restriction in certain places could be acceptable and must be encouraged.
