The woman has been a victim of bad experience on the plane when a man started touching her when she was sleeping. "This policy should not be billed as having anything to do with the idea that "men sexually assault," but should be associated with the comfort of grown men and young women in terms of the physical proximity that makes everyone comfortable."
Interestingly the policy has attracted lot of comments and attention. People approach the policy from their own experiences and viewpoints and hence what they contribute gives us a deeper insight into the issue. This policy has already been implemented by some other airlines including Air New Zealand. One person comments that it is rather unfair to women to make them sit next to children: "When Air New Zealand started this policy, many locals pointed out that this discriminated against women too. Who wants to sit next to a whiny kid? No man will have to any more, but if you're a woman, tough."
Steve Kelner, a regular commentator, posts some statistics as well to indicate that this policy is completely nonsensical. He makes use of some previous statistics and feels that even if 86% of all molesters are males, we must find out how many of them do such things on a plane. He says he has traveled frequently and has never observed any abnormal behavior: There are millions of people who fly every day, as Patrick Smith notes in his Ask the Pilot column. Personally, I've flown hundreds of thousands of miles and NEVER observed anything like this occurring at all. If it is 86% of.0000000001% of passengers, why are we pursuing this nonsensical policy?"
MWise also speaks against the policy as it is. She is of the view that if people want to protect their children, they should not let them fly alone and must sit next to them. "It is _your_ responsibility to look after _your_ kid. If you want to protect your child, then travel with them and sit in the...

Policy and Practice Racial disparity in arrests and convictions in Georgia are is a significant and growing social problem. Yet, legislation and policy seems to be lacking in an attempt to solve or even begin to reverse the increasing trend.

what drives/motivates providers. In a nutshell, these authors assert that any healthcare system built on market principles is doomed to eventual crisis as payers (meaning patients by and large, whether directly or through government taxation) attempt to receive adequate care while reducing the flow of dollars to providers while providers attempt to increase the flow of dollars for the same or lower levels of care (Harrington & Estes, 2008).
Policy Problem & Proposal Policy Problem The United States faces a $1.4 trillion national deficit, and partisan debate about how to address it is threatening economic stability on top of the shaky "recovery" from the 2009 financial crisis. Yet American corporations continue to enjoy tax loopholes that reduce their taxes to unprecedented low levels. Republicans argue that corporations must retain their preferred tax status in order to maintain and create jobs. This
