Answer + Explanation:

As the society grows more and more health conscious, stronger voices to ban smoking in all public areas begin to emerge. Banning public has been used as a mean for government to discourage smoking and also to improve city image. It is almost impossible to achieve consensus on this issue as it creates great inconvenience for the smokers. However, I believe smoking should be banned in public places and my reasons are as follow.  

Looking at the <em>health aspect</em>, smoking should be banned in public places because it is not only a health hazard for the smoker, it creates more harm to the others. Cigarette is a known carcinogen that has been associated with increased rates of lung cancer and heart disease. However, the hazard does not end there, second-hand smoke has been proven to create more detrimental effects on health on both the smokers and the people around them. This is especially harmful for those with weaker immune systems such as children and elderly.  

Looking at the <em>sociological aspect</em>, smoking should be banned in public places because smoking is a personal choice. One’s personal enjoyment should not be at the expense of others’ health. When a person smokes in indoor public areas such as restaurants and shopping centres, pollutants continue to circulate the premise and affecting the health of everyone within the building. It is unfair for the non-smokers to be forced to share the health risks of the smokers.  

To sum up, public places are shared by all, smokers and non-smokers, old and young, and should be made friendly to all. <u>Negative effects of smoking go beyond the smoker himself, creating health problems of the public.</u> While some choose to accept the side effects of smoking, risks of smoking should not be forced upon others. Therefore, in my humble opinions, smoking should be banned in public places.

What is the main theme reflected in this excerpt from “Ulysses” by Alfred, Lord Tennyson?
Valentin [98]
<span>The correct answer is D. The theme of this excerpt is that the old can regain honor by taking up challenges again.

Here, the speaker notes that his mariners are old; however, he says, "old age hath yet his honour and toil." By this he means that their work need not be done.

It is still possible for them to regain their honor through toil. "Some work of noble note, may yet be done," he says, before they die. Therefore, the main theme of this excerpt is that the old can still gain honor by taking up challenges (or toil) again.</span>

What values were typical of Robert Louis Stevenson's age?
Snowcat [4.5K]
The values that were typical of Robert Louis Stevenson's age were the honor and morality of one's self and one's family. An individual must never do anything that would diminish reputation but strive to maintain it or better it. Individuals were to be characters of good moral standing. There was a firm belief in the upkeep of outward appearances of dignity and restrain. Individuals were also supposed to uphold the law above all else, except God. In the middle classes, the idea of self-made men and entrepreneurship was born and this fostered the "American Dream".

Brainstorm a list of five or six indicators of success for the American Dream. How can you measure whether it's achievable?
Dahasolnce [82]

A stable income

A stable job

Legally owning property

Possibly a family

Good health

I would assume, the best way to measure if it's achievable would be making a graph of various ages and seeing when most people achieve these indicators and how many do it.

PLEASE HELP!!! Read the excerpt from Act III, scene i of Romeo and Juliet. Mercutio: No, ’tis not so deep as a well, nor so wide
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: The right answer is A) Mercutio’s death.

Explanation: In this excerpt, the moribund yet still witty Mercutio is announcing Romeo his imminent death, as he has been stabbed by Tybalt in order to defend Romeo's honor. His wound, he says, is neither deep like a well nor wide like the door of a church, but "enough" to end with his life. He then curses the two families for their disagreements, fiercely criticizes Tybalt for having attacked him, and for how he has done it, and finally reprimands Romeo for having gotten in the way.
