Modern Rules

It is a Fire Escape Map posted on the back of the door of my dormitory room. We should be all familiar with it. But seriously, how many of us have read it? Not too many, I guess. We kind of ignore it because firstly, we know what it is, we know roughly what it talks about. In other words, there is no curiosity to drive us to read it. Secondly, it's not that relevant to us. The opportunity for us to encounter a fire accident is really small...wait, it's not actually true. The first night I arrived here, I heard the fire alarm ringing in my hall. I was so surprised but luckily it was just the smoke that caused the trouble.


Well, what I want to say is that such kind of information is important. It tells us how to escape a fire in a simple, straight way. The map was posted on one of the most obvious places to remind us every time we close the door.

We can find many other maps or instructions in especially modern cities. These instructions contain all the rules that people should obey when live or travel in a modern city. The styles of the design are similar, brief, straight, kind of cold and authoritative which is more like a command. It is, of course, consistent with the modernity.
