Circuses Should Not Use Animals

conditions are usually inappropriate. Tigers, for example which naturally live in wilderness, must perform
tricks on a narrow stage and spend their lifetime in a small cage.

Besides, the living conditions of the circus animals are poor. They live in a cramped condition
most of the time. They actually need more space to roam. They also do not have freedom to live with
their own kind.

Solve the Problem of Economic Issues

Government should not raise fuel price to solve the problem of economic issues. People were
affected severely with the high fuel price hike last year. Obviously they cut their spending. As an
example, they had to buy lower quality of rice or palm oil. There were also fewer buyers of secondary
commodities like flour, or canned meat or fish.

Furthermore, the condition of low income family will become even worse because their
expenses will increase while their salaries will not. Many companies will have to trim the number of
employees because they are incapable of managing buying or selling price, standard wages and personal
affairs.

Finally, government should not raise fuel price to overcome economic problem but the solution
should be sought by tapping into the nation’s own potential and utilizing it to enhance productivity to its
maximum.

Should Americans be forced to Public Transportation?

First, let me define what the question is and isn’t asking. It isn’t asking if we should we all
abandon cars right now, nor is it asking if we should abandon them completely, nor is it asking if every
American should do so. It is asking weather some Americans should have to take public transit some of
the time, and I would say yes.

Oil use and pollution aside, in some cities like Los Angeles and New York there just isn’t room for
any more roads, so in order for large cities to grow, they need more people to take public transit or risk
permanent traffic jam. One bus can safely hold 40 people so even at half capacity that’s nearly 20 cars’
worth of space in traffic cleared up, and nearly 20 parking spaces that don’t need to built.

There are a lot of people that can take with transit little inconvenience but simply don’t because
they never have in the past. If residents in areas with plenty of transit had to buy transit passes as part of
their property taxes then they would have little excuse not to bus occasionally. QA number of
universities already bundle a ‘U-Pass’ with their tuition feeds, forcing their students to take the bus.
When given the change the majority of those students have voted to keep these programs.

A similar system in apartments where a portion of the tenants are not issued parking spaces in
exchange for a discount on their rent would also be community car to several apartment tenants that
arrange a schedule for the car, and this program gets many positive reviews.

So yes, I would say that Americans should be forced to use public transit, as Americans whom
are already forced to do so find that it works well for them.
