An obvious yet very effective theme in Hitchcock’s Strangers on a Train is that of “criss-cross” and doubles.

But what about the disadvantage of that fast travel‚ the costs must increase so travelers pay more for the convenience of speed. However rail travel also has

Extremist groups like this one often display hate towards the opposing

contains some obvious grammatical errors‚ but right off the bat‚ just reading the title‚ you can see the impact of globalization; there is obvious integration of American culture shown here.
