Opinionated Paper #1 Should Louisiana Government be allowed to ban smoking in public places? If smoking is allowed in public places then the freedom of the non smoker is taken away. If we don’t allow smoking in public places then the smoker’s freedom is then restricted. Therefore banning smoking is a decision between the health of a whole nation versus the freedom of a minority. Which is more important? The millions of people that die from second hand smoke or the smoker who always has that

Many high school kids were discouraged to go out and have fun with crazy costumes since lately it is commonly mention that there is an age limit for trick or treating.

I believe some school rules should remain the same regarding the dress code particularly rules about modesty. Girls should not be allowed to wear short dresses or strapless shirts.

Should Cell Phones Be Allowed In Schools? Cell phones are everywhere! Almost everyone has one. Why should they not be allowed to be used for school use and learning? Although cell phones can be a major distraction to many students while working on school work‚ they can also come in handy in all sorts of ways.

discussed is whether professors and students on college campuses should be allowed to bring concealed handguns to school. Concealed carry permits allow keeping a gun in public in a concealed manner‚ which can either be on the persons being or in a close proximity.
