Statement: A municipal ordinance banning plastic bags is being ignored by many stores. Courses of action: I. The ordinance should be repealed since nobody follows it. II. The municipality should strengthen information drives and penalize violators. Which course(s) of action logically follow?
- Only I follows.
- Only II follows.
- Both I and II follow.
- Neither I nor II follows.
Answer
B. Only II follows.
Solution
The answer is: Only II follows. II improves compliance. Repealing a law simply because it is violated (I) is not a sound course of action. A course of action follows if it is practical and addresses the problem without being extreme.
