EXAMPLE:
Young drivers are at a greater risk of being injured or killed on our roads
than any other demographic (VicRoads 2014). There are a number of safety
issues for young drivers, including the issue of distraction. The World
Health Organisation (2011, p. 8) defines driver distraction ‘ as when some
kind of triggering event external to the driver results in the driver shifting
attention away from the driving task’. The ringing of a telephone,
responding to a text message or a telephone alert can all cause distractions
while driving. Young drivers are more likely to be involved in an accident as
a result of a distraction within the vehicle as they do not have the
experience to know how to respond (World Health Organisation 2011).
Opinions differ regarding the solution to the problem of mobile phone use
while driving by young people. Young, Rudin-Brown and Lenne (2010)
suggest increased penalties and driver education as two possible
strategies. In the not too distant future technology may provide a solution
to the problem.

EXAMPLE
Within management theory there have been many changes and
developments. One researcher has identified a key factor for
management sources, communication:
Communication is a vital factor in determining managerial success. A
successful manager establishes links through her organization, formal
and informal, upwards, downwards and horizontally. Two vital measures
of success are these: a respect for formal procedures and a recognition
of the value of the informal network. (Williams, 1993, p. 6)
