Political leaders are often said to be too political‚ the wealthy are portrayed as greedy hotheads‚ the minorities are represented as irresponsible and effortless‚ and the people who are not engaged are labeled as

A smoke-free campus Smoking is bad for everyone. When people have a non-smoking area‚ they really appreciate it. However‚ some people ruin the place where there are signs that is prohibited; they still smoke in that place. On the other hand‚ almost every school‚ college and university is smoke-free.
