Ever since I was little, I have always been amazed by Hollywood glamour. Perhaps I developed this passion for extravagance because the media presented glamor as intangibly wonderful. As a young adult today, I'm not yet completely out of this phase of being attracted to luxury. I went from playing with Barbie dolls to watching reality TV shows where the women were practically dolls. Television in general has had a great influence on society and our growing admiration for luxury. When I had the opportunity to learn more about any bridge of my choice, it was obvious to me which one would be the most fascinating to study; of course, I chose the most glamorous deck. I remember as a kid watching the TV sitcom Full House, and I remember the opening of the show was a recording of a beautifully man-made masterpiece, The Bridge the most attractive of all. The bridge was a warm red-orange color and hovered above the waters that swam just two hundred and fifty feet below. It was the epitome of Hollywood glamour, and that’s why I chose to study the Golden Gate Bridge. The idea of ​​opening a bridge across the Golden Gate Strait had long been dreamed of by residents of San Francisco since the 1830s. The purpose of building the bridge along the Golden Gate Strait would be to connect the sparsely populated city from the south, known at the time as San Francisco, to the advanced and more populous city to the north, known as Marin County. The small towns were separated from the prestigious city by the Golden Gate Sea and so transportation to and from the city would be a problem without the aid of some sort of vehicular crossing. The primary goal of the Golden Gate Bridge investment was to recreate the paper worker environment by adapting safety helmets for use by bridge construction workers. These hats were made from steamed canvas, glue and black paint. More importantly, these safety helmets became the start of the safety revolution for construction workers.
