Abstract
This paper explains that banning books is a major violation of someone's rights as defined by the First Amendment. The freedom to read is crucial to the country's democracy, the author states; however, it is constantly under attack. The paper relates several examples of book banning cases and their effect on the community.

From the Paper
"These challenges against books have caused a great deal of controversy, often leading to the occurrence of court cases and violence. One censorship lawsuit that occurred in the 1980s caused a major ruckus. "Mozert v. Hawkins County Public Schools", which was filed by Tennessee parents, who maintained that an entire elementary school reading series, including "Cinderella", "Goldilocks", and "The Wizard of Oz", violated their fundamentalist religious beliefs."

Abstract
This paper cites evidence and statistics supporting the banning of smoking in cars with child passengers. Many countries and many U.S states have now enacted legislation that bans smoking in cars when there are child passengers. The paper concludes by stating that even though some people resent governmental intrusion on their "privacy" children's health and safety needs to take precedence.

From the Paper
"We have all heard that second-hand smoke may be just as dangerous as the problems with smokers. So, it would make good sense to make sure that one's children are protected from second hand smoke. And that means, no smoking in cars where children are passengers. There is scientific proof that children are harmed by adults smoking in cars in which they are passengers. Some countries, and some U.S. states are already taking steps to ban such smoking. "There is plenty of evidence to show passive smoke is particularly harmful to children. It noted that Colorado's smoking ban in cars carrying children was based on evidence..."

Abstract
This paper examines the current policy that allows animals in the wild to be poisoned in order to regulate the number of attacks predators have on rancher's livestock. The paper discusses the impact of the use of the poisons of sodium fluoroacetate (FCH2CO2Na) and sodium cyanide (NaCN) and then examines the arguments for and against banning this practice.

From the Paper
"Sodium cyanide has been found to have very high toxicity to wildlife on land as well as aquatic animals in nearby streams. The National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme (NICNAS) in Australia, has found serious environmental risks for using sodium cyanide during the extraction of gold from ore. They found that wildlife would die shortly after the consumption of water with trace amounts of sodium cyanide.3 WS claim that if some sodium cyanide spills onto the soil after the discharge of the M-44, the active ingredient dissipates into gas rapidly due to soil moisture, but If there is no moisture, the sodium cyanide will filter through the soil until it degrades or is taken up by micro-organisms or plants."

Abstract
This paper discusses that freedom of speech often collides with attempts to ban pornographic materials; however, there are laws that prohibit the sale of pornography to minors. This author feels that, if these laws were enforced, not only would access to minors be reduced but also to adults thus reducing the sexual addictions and violence that seems to be so prevalent in today's society.

From the Paper
"After complaints by male students, a model principal at a local school in New Jersey was charged with child molestation when authorities found homosexual pornography in his home. Authorities found thirty-six films of young men masturbating and hundreds of pages torn from pornographic magazines. Prosecutors said "This has nothing to do with anyone's sexual preference. It's not about fantasies. He's on trial for how he allowed his fantasies to escape from his home, from his locked room, and into the "school." Was this principal simply a victim of a society overwhelmed with pornographic material? Does pornography have an effect on ones psyche?"

Abstract
The paper discusses how while America is the land of freedom, many people argue about exactly how far a person's freedom can go. The paper notes that drinking alcohol on public beaches, for instance, raises questions about personal choice versus public safety. The paper examines the pros and cons about whether alcohol should be banned on public beaches.

From the Paper
"America is the land of freedom, so they say. But, many people argue about exactly how far a person's freedom can go. Drinking alcohol on public beaches, for instance, raises questions about personal choice versus public safety. The following discussion examines the pros and cons about whether alcohol should be banned on public beaches.
A Question of Personal Choice: For those who are against banning alcohol on public beaches, one might ask whether America learned its lesson during Prohibition. The lesson learned during the 1920s was that government cannot force people to act according..."

Abstract
The paper relates that the Beijing Olympics game scheduled in 2008 could be banned due to topical eruptions among Tibetans and protests within the Chinese capital. The paper further relates that millions of dollars have gone into planning, yet Beijing seems to be changing their minds due to past government protests. The paper then points out that the purpose of conducting the games in China was to show the world how open and sociable the Chinese government and the people were to foreigners; if China alienates the world from this event, many people would resent their tactics in terms of an original agreement and later changing their minds.

From the Paper
"The Beijing Olympics game scheduled in 2008 could be banned due to topical eruptions among Tibetans and protests within the Chinese capital. It seems that millions of dollars have been delved into planning from international networks to shoot the live games. Yet, Beijing seems to be changing there minds due to past government protests. The purpose of conducting the games in China was to show the world how open and sociable the Chinese government and the people were to foreigners. If China would alienate the world from this event, many people would resent their tactics in terms of an original agreement and later changing their minds. It seems that a spiritual movement during 1999 or 2000 wanted to promote..."

Abstract
This paper will discuss how smoking has bad detrimental effects on human beings and why it should be eradicated from public use. By exploring the way that it damages an individua's health we can see how it can also damage the health of others who are forced to breath in second hand smoke.

Abstract
This paper examines the dangers of the notorious chemical DDT and shows why it should be banned by the year 2007, as environmentalist groups have aimed to do. The paper covers issues relating to the chemical including a growing resistance to its use, effective alternatives and the extent of its environmental destruction.

From the Paper
"The environmental damage that DDT causes is enough in itself to justify a total ban. DDT is a very persistent chemical and because if its molecular structure breaks down very slowly within nature. There are rough estimates that the half-life of DDT is around 12-15 years depending on the climate it is exposed to. This is partly why it is so dangerous in the environment. Another factor is that DDT is able to travel great distances, and is found every where throughout the globe. This is a strange and disturbing discovery because some places have never been sprayed before, such as Antarctica and the ocean bottoms. The spraying of DDT has unintentionally killed some main predators of the mosquito. Dragonfly larva hunt mosquito larva in puddles and stagnant ponds and also the adult dragonfly will hunt adult mosquitoes further reducing their numbers. DDT has worked in the past but as it destroyed fragile ecosystems it has now increased mosquito numbers. DDT is also the linked chemical responsible for the decline in the population of the Bald eagle and the Peregrine falcon. These two species are at the top of the food chain, thus their prey usually have been exposed to DDT."
