Dance Instructor

Describes motivation process for creativity with emphasis on intrinsic motivation by Corey K Katir

From the team that brought you “YOU GOT SERVED” comes a young Hip-Hop dance battle movie for a new generation of dance. Battlefield America takes a steady look at the underbelly of the youth battle dance culture in Long Beach, California. Sean Lewis, a young, charismatic, successful businessman finds himself in the mix with a bunch of disheveled misfits Bad Boys, who have virtually no dance talent. Realizing his dilemma, Sean brings aboard a professional dance instructor to ease his responsibilities to these kids. Meanwhile, he finds himself falling for Sara, who runs the community center where the kids hangout and practice their moves. With Sean motivating them, The Bad Boys find the confidence to be contenders…

Two years ago, a Chicago dance instructor tragically lost her life when an Amtrak train struck her SUV as she attempted to cross the train tracks in University Park. According to a Federal Railroad Administration report released this week, the train-car crash was caused by members of the Canadian National Railway track crew.

The investigation determined that the crossing-protection system had been turned off by Canadian National track maintenance workers while they worked on track switches in the area. Unfortunately, an order to stop train traffic was lifted and flagmen were removed from the crossing before the warning system was successfully reactivated. As a result, the crossingas warning system activated a mere two seconds before the train entered the crossing, and the womanas SUV was struck by the train as she attempted to cross the tracks.

As a Chicago personal injury attorney, I find many facets of the Federal Railroad Administration’s report troubling. First, the Canadian National signal supervisor had no training that would authorize him to supervise the crossing in question on that day. Canadian National owes a duty to all motorists and pedestrians who may cross the tracks to provide qualified supervisors to ensure an incident like this does not happen. Second, the Canadian National employee assigned to make sure that the crossingas safety system was operating properly was not tested for drugs or alcohol after the accident. Although the accident may have been the result of a careless mistake, Canadian National should have immediately determined whether the signal operator was impaired when the incident occurred. Third, the Canadian National crew was not abiding by the federal hours-of-service law, which restrict the hours that train and signal employees may work on a given shift. These laws were enacted to prevent exactly the kind of tragedy that resulted in this case due to exhaustion, carelessness, and/or distractedness. Canadian National violated these laws likely in an attempt to increase profits or finish a project ahead of schedule.

Finally, and perhaps most troubling, none of the workers at the crossing accepted any personal responsibility for the womanas death. The workersa refusal to accept responsibility demonstrates the same kind of headstrong attitude that likely contributed to the careless errors which ultimately caused the crash and the womanas death.
