Banning Fireworks.

Fireworks are used for special events in the whole world, a lot of people have unlimited access to buy fireworks. When special events are coming up people get excited to watch fireworks exploding in the sky. Some people do not realize fireworks are dangerous in many ways. Something good I can tell about fireworks is, when I was a child I used to play with fireworks, and it was funny to watch them explode. This Christmas my brother and cousin were playing with fireworks but they had an accident with only one firework, my brother lit a firework, then my brother and cousin ran away from there but the firework flew against my cousin burned at his ear, then the same firework burned my brother in his arm.

The first reason fireworks should be banned is that fireworks cause accidents to some people, and in some cases people die to play with them. People between 6 and 19 years old have more than 50% of provability of hurt themselves playing with fireworks. Fireworks are made with different kinds of ingredients but the most dangerous is the gunpowder because it is form part of the base of the fireworks and it is very explosive. When fireworks explode they produce fire, also fireworks explode so quickly that some people get burns and wounds caused for the fire emitted for fireworks when they explode. Fireworks are most use in holidays or a special event such as Christmas, New Years, Independence Day, and many other events such as thematic parks or zoos. Fireworks should be banned in the whole world because they are dangerous to the person operating them and to bystanders, they start fires when landing in flammable materials and nature, and they cause lot pollution.

One reason fireworks should be banned is that they cause fires after landing in flammable materials and nature. Some fireworks still on fire when they are landing, some houses, business and personal property such

    Banning Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins has good intentions—protecting children; however, children/teenagers should be trusted to make their own decisions about what they read. Books are usually challenged or banned to protect others, for example; violence, sexually explicit or offensive language. Catching fire is said to be challenged because of its violence, anti-ethnic, anti-family, insensitivity, and offensive language. The Hunger Games series was on the 2010 challenged books lists.…

    Colorado Wildfires Essay

    This article tells about how many people in Colorado had been evacuated due to the raging wildfires that have been happening. I personally live in the Denver area and we have not had any wildfires down here. Unfortunately due to the dry weather we were not able to light any of our own fireworks for the 3rd year in a row. The fires have gotten so bad that the flames engulfed a group of firefighters trying to put out the fires and 19 of the group had lost their lives. The heavy rains that we have gotten over the past weeks have helped a lot with putting out the fires. Going back to the fireworks, we were still able to enjoy our 4th of July fireworks at the usual firework shows. We still had a very fun 4th of July without being pyros ourselves.…

    The article on the shooting in Las Vegas has a lot of good points about guns and people with guns. However I think that guns themselves should not be banned but maybe things about the guns should be banned. This artic explains how some people view guns and how these people want to either ban guns or not. The article also tells us how the government wants to deal with the guns and how the people will be safer or not as safe. The national rifle association is calling for a cooling off period after this shooting in Las Vegas.…

    The banning of firearms in America is an illegal act, and degrades the values this country was founded on. They not only play a vital role in many people's lives, but are useful tools, fun to use, and can protect people from harm. Our founding fathers wanted us to have them to protect ourselves from the government, and would be disgusted at our government's current abuse, and overall disregard of the constitution of the United States. A lot of people argue that guns kill people; this is untrue. Guns in the hands of a negligent person have potential to kill people, just as anything else.…

    Why Guns Should Be Banned

    • 667 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The first reason that guns should be banned for ordinary citizens is that guns are the sign of violence. Guns are made for killing and harming other human beings. In many states there are “Shoot First” laws that allow people to defend themselves in public using guns with no duty to retreat. The Shoot First law can be dangerous to other people who are present in the area and people can get injured and killed. Why should governments allow people to own and carry guns in the name of protection? When there are law and police in a country people do not…

    Personally, I believe there should be no gun ban as the law can still be broken. If guns were to be banned, people who already own guns could still use them for killing. Also even if they are banned, there would be no significant drop on crime rates as there are still other ways that crimes can be committed, such as with knifes or vehicles. Also, as previously stated, people would still find a way around the ban to use guns to commit future crimes.…

    Banning guns would reduce the number of gun related deaths, a lot of the people would not listen but it would defiantly lower the number of gun related activity. Guns were made to kill they are one of most dangerous weapons out there, of course it should be illegal to have one. It may not decrease violent crime but it would decrease gun crime and that could save lives of many people.…

    The thought of fireworks reminds someone of the 4th of July and the dark night sky being lit up with thousands of colors. When Katy Perry sings about fireworks, she thinks of expression. “Cause baby you’re a firework, come and let your colors burst” is the chorus in the song. The fireworks symbolize personality and emotions. The colors bursting symbolize that a person is not afraid to show who they really are. These lyrics mean that people have their own emotions and personalities and that they should not be afraid to show who they really are.…

    Outdoor public smoking on the National Mall should be banned because it is risky for nonsmokers and the cigarette butts cause a litter problem. When people smoke in public, not only do they risk their own health, they risk the health of the general public. One could argue that smokers should have a designated smoking area on the National Mall, but according to the World Health Organization, there are no safe levels of second-hand smoke whether it is indoors or outdoors. Toxins that our lungs are exposed to on a consistent basis, which is caused by secondhand smoke, can be dangerous to our health. Chemicals such as benzene and arsenic are inhaled from second-hand smoking and can cause cancer. The National Mall is one of the largest tourist attractions in Washington, DC and it attracts millions of people, including families. If a child is not subjected to the toxins from cigarettes at home and in their daily lives, they should not be subjected when they are out of their homes. Even if children were not exposed, non-smokers in general should not be put at risk. Smoke in the air--even outdoors--can cause asthma attacks and bronchial infections, among other reactions.…

It is a hazard for both smokers and non - smokers and it is especially harmful to unborn babies. Cigarettes are also addictive because of the nicotine they contain. Smoking should be outlawed due to the hazard it causes to the smokers and non - smokers, the negative aspects and dangerous consequences it causes, and also the harmful things it does to the environment.…

    Many surveys, studies and scientific research has proved that smoking is injurious to health. Smoke is unhealthy and suffocating. It pollutes the environment. There are two types of smokers - active and passive. The person who smokes is active and other who are near to him and inhale the smoke are passive smokers. Both are equally affected by the ill effects of smoking. Smokers and non-smokers meet at many places like offices, buses, hotels, etc. So, considering the bad effects of smoking on individual's health, environment as well as individual rights, it should be banned in public places.
