New York City, clearly specified the decision was a “Temporary setback” and vowed to appeal; of overstepping and trying to impose a ban. The proposed ban drew national intention, giving the notion, “Any sugary drink larger than 16 ounces will be confisticated”. Is it really a smart approach to reduce the consumptions of soda?

The Right to Ban Students This world is unfair. Nobody promised that life would be fair to everybody. In fact, discrimination still runs rampant throughout today’s society. Even though Congress has passed several laws banning discrimination, those laws do not put an end to all types of discrimination.

Cell Phone Bans: Are They Safe? “20 percent of American third graders have owned a phone and that number jumped to 80 percent by middle school” (Sirs, LaCasse).

You see, although the intentions of the act are well-placed and well-founded, I have to disagree with the idea of the soda ban in its entirety. I’m not saying nothing should be done for the problem of obesity, as it is a proven and significant problem for the people…
In the year 2010, Massachusetts passed a new law regarding Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) Reform. One of the provisions within this law is the “ban the box” provision.
