Abstract

The use of transportation facilities represents the metaphor of “double-sides sword”; on the one hand it gives usefulness, on the other hand it gives destructiveness. An ideal dualism of modern culture achievement, and the tragedy inherently implied. While the comfort of traveling embodies the positive side, the pollution and car accident re-present the negative side. We have no other alternative, nevertheless, since the modern culture demanded such a high mobility that the use of modern transportation is unavoidable. Almost everyday we heard and read in mass media about various acci-dent of car crashes. Even in minor cases, the victims or damages are al-ways unavoidable. In a huge scale, the accident of transportation might take a great many victims and material damages. Consequently, the sur-vivors or the relatives of the casualties might experience mourning and sadness, even trauma. These are what we might call tragedies, the ones causing human suffering.
