Petrecca, L. (2012). 'Supersized' drinks on the way out in NYC. Accessed From http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/nation/story/2012/09/13/supersized-drinks-on-the-way-out-in-nyc/57775970/1

This form of law is almost impossible to regulate on individuals considering that even if the supersized drinks are reduced to the 16-ounce cap, consumers still have the choice to consume more than one cup. A person may also opt to buy sugary drinks from the grocery and convenience stores which would not be affected by such law. To drink or not to drink is solely a personal choice. As such, a law seeking to reduce the quantity of supersized drinks as a way to improve health is myopic. Instead the government should endeavor to change the mentality of the consumers through ...

Introduction

My stand is that citizens should never be executed. Executing a citizen amount to a gross violation of ethics and it brings more harm than correction. In the emotional perspective, execution of a citizen leaves a mark that cannot be erased on hearts of persons close to the executed person, it can never heal. Rather than being a corrective means, it turns out as a traumatizing experience to the family members of the executed; it can take a very long time for them to recover and come into terms with the reality. Capital punishment can very effectively be replaced by life imprisonment, which though separates the ...

In the article, he articulates an equilibrium-adjustment theory arguing that the amendment should be construed as aimed at maintaining the balance of power amid government and the citizens. This theory is based on originalism; essentially that the original purpose of the amendment should be the principal guide to its application, whether by the courts or the government and its assigns. From a philosophical perspective, this theory is outstanding, but in reality it poses great challenges given that the circumstances existing then are no ...
