"No one mentioned such things; it was not a rule, but was considered rude to call attention to things that were unsettling or different about individuals." -Chapter 3

Boom so loss of individualism is an element of dystopian literature. Being unique is what makes you a human and in the Giver, they try to take away that.

"It's the way they live. It's the life that was created for them. It's the same life that you would have if you had not been chosen as my successor." -Chap 20

Sounds like a totalitarian goverment to me! Life with no options and only choices made for you by higher-ups sounds like loss of individualism too!

Write about smoking in public places. Do you agree or disagree that smoking should be banned in public places? Why or why not?

atroni [7]

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 health aspect, 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 sociological aspect, 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. Negative effects of smoking go beyond the smoker himself, creating health problems of the public. 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.
