Hi, I am looking for someone to write an article on is the idea of daylight saving time justified Paper must be at least 1500 words. Please, no plagiarized work! Daylight saving time is generally seen as necessary. The initial justification for the practice was weak, and, like so many other social institutions, it began in wartime but has since outlived its peacetime utility. However, defenders of daylight saving time support the policy by looking at society-wide effects, particularly those they claim on the topics of leisure industries, energy consumption, and public safety. The issues they examine in these topics are intuitive (that is, they make sense), but they lack a great deal of empirical support. For instance, it makes perfect sense to say that an increase in natural light (due to the extension of the evening hours when everyone is awake, at the expense of the morning hours, when everyone is asleep) lowers the demand for energy during these peak hours. This principle seemed to be on display in World War I as some initial justification for putting into practice. However, the widespread marketing of home air conditioning units in the 1920s left no net effect on this theory. The increase in the consumption of energy to cool the home during the light evening mitigated the decrease in the consumption of energy to light the home. A government-backed report on the efficacy of daylight savings time found no net effect on energy usage.

Advocates of daylight saving time also extol the benefits to public safety, particularly the intuition that traffic fatalities will decrease because of increased light on the roads. Although there is some literature to support this thought in industrialized countries with extensive road infrastructure, metastudies of this literature particularly in the US is inconclusive, citing a zero net effect on traffic fatalities. In addition, in terms of public safety, it is widely believed increased daylight reduces crime, which is more likely in nighttime hours. But contrary to this line of thinking, the United States government decided that the findings of research into the topic are inconclusive. These public effects are concluded by appeals to benefits to public health when it is claimed increased sunlight provides more opportunity for exercise.
