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 ...

Article summary

Davis focused on the opportunity cost and elasticity as other factors that influence consumer choice and demand for goods or services. Price changes, and demand for a ...

Carole Vance’s article, “Social Construction Theory: Problems in the History of Sexuality,” explains how the social construction theory can be used to help understand LBGTQ+ identities. As discussed previously, essentialism assumes that all things, at the essence, are the same or share a similar experience. However, this does not take culture into consideration, and just how far humans are constructed socially. Vance explains that the LBGTQ+ community would benefit from identifying as a socially constructed group, because assuming that sexuality is finite or natural is an essentialist argument that completely undermines people who are sexually fluid and rejects the idea ...

In light of the serious obesity problem in the U.S., there is certainly a case for legislating to help those who lack the knowledge or the willpower to reduce their calories intake.

In Dalton’s article on Horatio Alger’s myth, the main point is that myths are not only false but also socially destructive. He puts forward this critical point through his objection of the fact that each individual has equal opportunities of prosperity in life.

Cohn Powell, according to Dalton tries to conceal important social ...

Before an individual opts to pursue a particular area of specialty, he or she considers various forces and elements. The factors are termed as the labor market instigators. The motivators affect the results of undergraduates’ decisions concerning different subjects. They are important to the students and in making public policies.
