"Noise Pollution"

Sim brings up many relevant issues in today’s society that he calls “noise pollution.” The array of noises that consume our surroundings are damaging our health and our quality of life according to Sim. Also he discusses the importance of thought and silence. According to Sim it is necessary to have silence in order to enhance our concentration and experience deep thought.
Sim alludes to important issues and I agree with him, but only to a certain point. I believe that silence is something that every human being needs every once in a while to reflect about life and learn about themselves. I think this is why I enjoy going to Gatlinburg to hike in the mountains where there is a form a silence that allows me to take in my surroundings and am able to get away from all the noises that occur everyday in Northern Kentucky. Another point Sim ponders is how a radio can be heard everywhere and is always making noise. One can listen to the radio every time one gets into a car, and many places such as, the gym, swim clubs, and sporting events involve a form of radio or music. There is not an abundant of places where one can go to endure silence and relax. Relaxation is a necessary component to ensure our physical and psychological life. I don’t believe that human beings have to acquire silence all the time or that our world needs to change because there is too much “noise pollution.” We as humans can find our own places where we can experience our own silence that will aid our health and life.
