Urban sprawl is not mindless at all. There is nothing inevitable about its development. Sprawl is the result of zoning laws designed by legislators, low-density buildings designed by developers, marketing strategies designed by ad agencies, tax breaks designed by economists, credit lines designed by banks, geomatics designed by retailers, data-mining software designed by hamburger chains, and automobiles designed by car designers. The interactions between all these systems and human behavior are complicated and hard to understand— but the policies themselves are not the result of chance. “Out of control” is an ideology, not a fact.

Oil wells in the morning (via the morning news)
Bloom’s Taxonomy is a breakdown of the six levels of thinking, from the lowest level to the highest (example):
- Knowledge: Knowing a fact. Knowing 2 + 2 = 4, doesn’t mean you know what 2+2=4 means.
- Application: Knowing how to use the fact. I can determine that 2 cats plus 2 cats equals 4 cats. You don’t know what 2 +2 =4 means, but you can apply it.
- Comprehension — Understanding a fact: You understand the concept of addition and how 2 + 2 = 4.
- Analysis — breaking down information into its parts. 4 - 2 =2 ; (1 + 1) + (1 + 1) = 2 + 2 = 4
- Synthesis — creating something new , writing a book, etc.
- Evaluation — Discussion of the merits of 2 + 2 = 4 .
