zero-tolerance policy

Read a random definition: mainpernor

A quick definition of zero-tolerance policy:

A zero-tolerance policy is a rule that says certain things are not allowed and will not be accepted. This means that if someone breaks the rule, they will be punished. For example, schools might have a zero-tolerance policy for drugs and alcohol, which means that if a student is caught using them, they will face consequences. The government also has a zero-tolerance policy for underage drinking, which means that it is against the law for anyone under 21 to drink alcohol.

A more thorough explanation:

A zero-tolerance policy is a plan or method of action that states certain acts will not be allowed or accepted. This means that even a small violation of the policy will result in strict consequences.

  • A school district may have a zero-tolerance policy for drug and alcohol use on school property or at school events. This means that any student caught with drugs or alcohol will face severe punishment, such as suspension or expulsion.
  • A workplace may have a zero-tolerance policy for harassment or discrimination. This means that any employee who engages in such behavior will be terminated immediately.
  • In 1995, Congress enacted a nationwide zero-tolerance statute to combat underage drinking. This means that anyone under the age of 21 caught drinking alcohol will face legal consequences, such as fines or community service.

These examples illustrate how a zero-tolerance policy sets clear boundaries and consequences for certain behaviors. By enforcing strict consequences, it is hoped that individuals will be deterred from engaging in these behaviors in the first place.

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.
