Oluwatofunmi Ogunkoya March 14, 2024 Mod 5 Arc 2 Argument Task. Do you ever feel like you are being controlled by someone to do something against your will? I will be writing about how the government used the soda ban to control the citizens of New York without them making that decision. The government should not regulate personal choices like was done with the New York City ban because it limits us from making the decisions we want, and goes against what this country stands for.

For example, in "Ban the Ban" by SidneyAnne Stone, she stated that "People might think it is not important because it is just soda but it is so much more than that—it is about freedom and the …show more content…

It also supports my reason because taking away the options in sizes would force someone to get only one specific size, which again is another way the government is making decisions for us by forcing us to get one. We should be able to make our own decisions when we feel like it, and it shouldn’t be up to the government. Another reason I have for why I'm against the ban is that it goes against what the nation stands for. Also in the text "Ban the Ban", the author stated that "I, personally, feel that it goes against everything this country stands for—we are a country built on freedom." I agree with the fact that a country has to make laws for its citizens, but certain laws like the soda ban limit people to what they are able to do. If someone wanted to go get a 34 ounce cup of soda from mcdonalds they wouldn't be able to do it, or if someone wanted to drink a large cup of soda

Should soda really be considered as hazardous or toxic as people make it seem? In the texts “Three Cheers for the Nanny State”, “Ban the Ban”, and “Sodas a Problem But…”, it all shows evidence on how the soda ban is good or how it is bad. Also they talk about how it is harmful but is it really that harmful to where there is a need to ban it. Although some people may think the soda ban is a great idea there are numerous downsides to it such as only eliminating certain sizes, more harmful things to worry about, and that fact that there is no purpose behind the ban. The soda ban is a bad idea because it only eliminates certain sizes over 16oz.

The government should not regulate personal choices like it did with the New York City soda ban because it violates the U.S. Constitution and what it stands for. The soda ban is causing people to not make their own choice on what they want to buy. One reason the soda ban is bad is because it has stripped the rights of the citizens that live in New York. I say this because the soda ban has removed the rights of the citizens that America has given them. The ninth amendment allows U.S citizens the right to privacy and freedom of choice.

For my fiction short story determinations, I pick Nathaniel Hawthorne "Youthful Goodman Brown" and William Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily". They both uses good to support esteems.
