e47a407 | he had did good about ut he did good going to venas would be good so most people would want to take a trip there it is way to hot to be up there by your self as well as if your with ah group of people as well but the good thing about it is that you can have an exsperance to do somthing like you better do it it would not be good to miss out the had sent a rovor up there to see how things are going to work out as well also people are want to go there but yet it is 300 times more hot then earth its self as well..that is not many people have really been up to venus..also venus is a very rockey place also you can find metels there as well and last but not least yes to get to venus is a long space traval to get there it takes up to 6 years as well. and mars earth venus are all lined up right next to each other as well. | 1 |
e47dbdc | The Electoral College was originally established as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens. Presidential candidate Al Gore actually won the popular vote done by citizens, but ended up losing the Electoral College voting which caused him to lose his campaign for presidency. To prevent further occurances such as the fiasco involving Al Gore, the Electoral College must go. Former Presidents Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter both happened to agree on the abolishment of the Electoral College! According to a Gallup poll taken in the year 2000, over 60%
of voters would prefer a more direct election process. In other words, they want the Electoral College system abolished.
Voters actually don't vote for President; they vote for a slate of electors who end up voting for the president. I feel that this system isn't cohesive enough; it's easy for people to think that a majority vote for a candidate means an automatic victory when actually the Electoral College votes are what truly matter. What would be the reaction if a certain member of the College decided to vote against his party's candidate? With a system filled to the brim with flaws, it's easy for many upsetting instances to occur in the future. In fact, the state of Louisiana almost succeeded in replacing the Democratic electors with new electors who would oppose
John F. Kennedy. (So that a popular vote for Kennedy would not have actually gone to Kennedy.)
During the 2000 campaign, seventeen states didn't see the candidates at all, including Rhode Island and South Carolina, and voters in 25 of the largest media markets didn't get to see a single campaign ad. The Electoral College method is outdated, at best. If seventeen states didn't even get to see the candidates, then something is obviously wrong. Had 5,559 voters in Ohio and 3,687 voters in Hawaii voted the other way, a tie would've occured in the 1976 presidential election.
There is one, gaping flaw in the Electoral College voting system; the winner-take-all basis. A very slight plurality in a state creates a landslide electoral-vote victory! Another unfair aspect about the Electoral College is the fact that larger states garner more attention (and votes!) than do smaller ones. Florida netted candidate Obama 29 electoral votes whereas Wyoming snagged him 3 electoral votes. Such a discrepency can turn off potential voters such as Democrats in Texas or Republicans in California. Overall, the Electoral College is an outdated practice which must be invalidated soon enough. | 4 |
e4808ce | The "Face" on mars was not created bye Alians. The face on mars is just a natural landingform, and was not reayed by Alians. April 5, 1998, when Mars Global Sureveyor flew over cydonia for the first time Michael Malin and is MOC tean snaped a picture ten times sharper than the original viking photo. After that thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting for the image to appere, when finally when the first image appeared on a JPL web site, revealing a natrual landing form. There was no Alian monument after all.
If the "face" was created by an Alian/Anlians there would be trakings of them and all that and it was really hard to see because it was winter at the time. They dont pass the unknown figure very offten, but when they did they payed really close attintion to the figure. They took more pictures to discover them. They still found know tracings or sighs that alians made this.
What the picture really showes is the Martiam equivalent of a butte or mesa- landingforms common around American West. "Its a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same hight and the Face on Mars." | 2 |
e481600 | I would not suguest self-driving cars. What if war ever comes and the enemy were to somehow hack the cars and kill people who are in them. Everyone would require a car upgrade and some people wont be able to afford that. Im good with a 2005 Monte Carlo. Now what they should do is bring classic cars back and start making parts for them again.
In my honest oppinion I believe 1969 was the golden years for cars. I wouldn't want a car that has a camera that watches me while I drive. Thats like too far over the line. I can understand if they made flying cars in the future that uses magnetic power or even fuel of some sort. I honestly believe that we are going to keep creating better and better technology.
Eventually technology is going to be smarter than humanity and it will over run the human race and make us the lowest life force. People need to think for future preferences. Driveless cars would also be a bad idea because some older people don't get technology too well and they could get seriously hurt if they don't opperate the car right. Some people wouldn't want to have a camera in a car that watches them because they may go park somewhere and want to do something private and it wouldn't be private with a camera above their head. Plus people would start to get lazy and not want to drive at all.
Then we may have another obeasity problem. There are just too many concerns and unanswered questions to have self driving cars. I trust a human driver a lot more than an electrical driver any day. I wouldn't want to drive a car thats smarter than me. Theres no telling what could happen with these cars.
Yes they may have been tested and everything but the outcome may vary with different cars. If you ever did wreck I could just imagine how much it would cost to do all of the repairs. Thats why I wouldn't suguest driveless cars. | 3 |
e48448c | I don't beleive that the use of this technology to read student emotions is of any value to help students in the classroom.
There a few reasons why I have this opinion. I simply don't believe the technology is accurate, not becuase it cannot detect the emotion, but more so our facial expression dont alwyas exactly match the way we feel.
The text says that, "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored", Dr. Huang Predicts. Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." I disagree with this statement because facial expressions are not always reliable. There are times when I look irritated or mad when in reality that is just my natuaral emotionless face. So if this were to be true, and my computer just automatically updated my lesson because it saw that I looked bored that wouldnt be fair. It would actually throw me more off course then help me. Another reason I feel its not a good idea is because in reality majority of students barely just smile and look happy while doing work, it's just something we don't do. So how would the computer be able to accurately know if we were interested if we dont clearly look interested?
So, therefore I believe that new computer technology to read emotions isn't really a big help to students in the classroom. The resuts may not be as accurate because we don't always look the way we feel. | 3 |
e48707a | We have created a face on the surface of our planet. Doesn't that sound stupid, I mean if there is intellagent life out there why would they waste there time puting a face on a planet. That face is nothing but a mountain or rock formation that looks like a face.
First off the area the probe was flying over and taking pictures of was know to have mesas. Like the article had said at in paragraph two " Scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia." Which is where the probe was flying over. Most scientist believe it is just a landform with the face looking structure.
Next when NASA got another probe into space to take better pictures, just to show the people like you who think it was made by aliens that it is in fact just a rock formation. They took another picture and people still didn't believe them so depsite how hard it is to position it to take another picture they did it anyway and it looked nothing like a face, But more like a mountain.
Lastly most of the stuff made up about the face on mars. when they released the photo like it said in the article "it stared in a hollywood film, appeared in books, magazines, radio talk shows--even haunted grocery store checkout lines for 25 years!" It's just made up by people to either sell more stuff in there gift shop or store and or make movies and books. Because who would want to watch a movie about the extroudanary mountain on mars. They would have to make false info about it and say it was made by aliens so it would sell more.
You may say that that probe is floating very far away from space how do you know there is not any evidence of life down there? Well yes It is very far away but the picture was taken in maxium resilution. Each pixel spans 1.56 meters so each pixel in that photo spaned 1.56 meters on the planet so you would be able to see anything that would have show alien life down there.
So yes it was nothing but a mountain that looked like a face. Next time you look at somthing that looks like it could be alien in outer space don't believe movies or novels belive the scientist they know what there doing and know what is for the better of human knowledge not some persoon trying to make some money by saying that aliens made it so you would buy it. | 4 |
e48896a | Dear my state senator.
I have some concerns i would like u to know, it's about the electoral college.
I know that it is a process not a place and that the funding fathers established it and all but to me i don't think the electoral college is fair and heres why.
The electoral college consists of 538 electors, a maority of 270 electoral votes that is requried to elect president, now under the 23rd Amendment the constitution, District of Columbia is allocated 3 electors and treated like a state for puposes of the elctoral college.
The presidental election is held every four years on the Tuesday after the first Monday in the of November. To be honest you help choose your electors when it's time to vote for president because when they vote for a canidate they are actally voting for your candidat's electors. After the presidental election a "Certificate of Ascertainment" listing all of the canidates who ran for president in your state along with the names of the respective electores.
The electoral college, voters vote not for the president but for a slate of electors, who turn elect the president. The single best argument against the electoral college is the disaster factor. Consider the state legislatures are technically are to blame for picking electors, and that those electors could always defy the will of people.
Now i have done some more research and what i also found out is that back in 1960, segregations in the Louisianna legislature nearly succeeded in doing away with Democratic electors with new electors who would oppose john F. Kennedy. It also happened in hawaii in 1960, but Vice president Richard Nixson, who was presiding over the senate, validated only his opponent's electors, I mean what if this happens again?
And i aslo heard that if an electoral tie seems unlikley, consider this that in 1968 a shift of just 41,971 votes would have a impacted deadlocked the election. It also has happened many times after that. I mean the election is only a few swing away from catastrophe.
It's official to me and a lot of other people, the electoral college is unfair, and irrational. I mean i have been told that the best arguments in the favor of it's most assertions without the basis in reality. I think you need to put a stop to this before things go wrong, i mean if it's not fair then why do it? it makes no sense.
thank you for taking the time to read me letter and i hope i helped about the electoral college to be fair.
sincerally a concerned citizen. | 3 |
e48d00a | I claim that it would be better if the Electoral college would stay the same .And the reason why it should stay the same its because the the way its been going but it has been also having some small problems but they are also reasons hwy it should stay the same.
The problem is that if you want to vote for president you can't because you are going to have to vote for aleast 34 Democratic and they elct the president,not you. And the electors are the onnes that are not holding public office. the other promble is that it also depends on the state you are living on because that is it dependson who picks the electors. The ones that mostly pick them are states conventions,party's central committee or even sometimes the presidential candidates themeselves.
I claim that it should stay the same because of these reason, Certainty of outcome , in 2000 it was possible that the dispute over the outcome if an Electoral College vote and around the 2012's the election , obama received a 61.7 percent of the electoral vote compared to oly 51.3 percent and that was alot. also the college had to restores some of the weight in the political blance that large states lose by virtue of the mal apportionment, wich the senate decreed in the consitution. There wasa method that the Elecotral college use and that was that to select the president that will turn off the potential voters for a candidate,there are five reasons for retaining the electoral collega despite its lack of democratic pedigree.
In passage 3 it says that the Electoral College has consists 538 electors and the majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the president and one for each member in the houseof respresentatives plus two for your senators and the presidential election mostly is held or four yeas on the tuesday after the first monday in november and i think that is doing a great job one elctions,electors, and on picking the president. also thats why i think its better if the electoral college stays the same. | 3 |
e498c83 | The probelm with driveerless car: what if the car stops driving and the driver doesnt know how to drive a car, what if the car malfuntions, what if the car breaks down and the driver doesnt know how to fix it.
What if the driverless car stops driving itself and the driver cant driver or doesnt know how to drive it? well there is alot of probelms that could happen. For example: Your in the car and your in the middle of nowhere and your by yourself and the car stops driving and you dont know hpw to drive. most likey you'll have to leave the car there. Another example: Say your driving in heavy traffic and the car stops driving itself and you cant drive, it could cause a accident.
What if the car malfuntions? For example: Say if your driving in a city and the light turns red and the car doesnt stop. An accident can happen, or someone or people could get hit and killed,or the car can run off the road, or hit into a buliding or object. Another example: What if the car doesnt slow down or picks up speed and you can't stop it. There an accident can happen, or you or someone or people could get hurt or killed.
What if the car breaks down and you dont know how to fix it. For example: Say your driving in the country and your on a back road and you car breaks down and you dont know how to fix it. What are you going to do? Leave it, try to call for help, try to see if you can find the probelm so yu can try to fix it? Another example: What if your in heavy traffic and the car malfuntions, it can cause an accident or it can get someone or people killed.
Those are some probelms that could happen with driverless cars. If they do make them, lets hope they wont cause has many probelms. | 3 |
e49ef08 | Imagine you were on an anlantic and it was storming and you were sliding down the ship but you did not fall because there was a small meatal strip that saved you from falling. That would be so scary and exciting so that why I think you should participate in the seagoing cowboys because I want you to have have great opportunity like Luke did and I want you to have lot of more expirences.
First think of all the fun you will have. Like playing baseball and volly ball games. Also table tennis, fencing, boxing,reading,and whittling. Alot of the games you will play will pass the time.
Another reason is all the places you will be visting. Like Europe, China,and seeing the Acropolis in Greece. You can take gonda rides and see the citys and streets and water of these places you see.
Last reason is seeing all this animals and feeding and taking care on them. Like seeing elhpants, tigers,and horses. The resposablitile you will learn like taking care of when they sleep, what to feed them, and to clean up after them.
To conclude you should join the Seagoing Cowboys because of the great opportunity and of all the expirences. You will have fun, you will be visting different places around the world, and you will see lot of different animals and you will have to take care of them. | 3 |
e49f6c5 | Is studying venus a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents.
I belive that it is a worthy pursuit that will take our inovations to the next level because its a planet that has givin us a great couriosity to explore and can also help us create machines that expand our reserches trough its grounds.
it also help us discover further knowlidge by sudying venus we can take our imagination and inovationt to our furthest we are learning further ways that can take human technology to expand and also humand kind in finding other planets we can survive in.The technology being used in venus and help us take it to other planets risking the the dangers and challenges we may face in the reasearche of this land.
The reaserches being done from venus help us see different temptures that may not be easy conditions,but survivle to human kind
and might help us see different ways we can survive in different temperature above the ground surface taht help us survive in venus and also on earth.
The expirement taking on board for venus can expand many of our reasearches of other planets and also expand the tempetaures our technology can take a see we see in the article we don't imagine that a phone or tablet or any of our technology being take on acid or in very high temepratures is going to survive and by traying to find ways that our technology takes all the heat from venus is going to take a lot of effort to be done to find a way to be done in order for our technology to survive taking the temperatures from venus and making a similar expirence and exposing our technology might help us create our own technology stronger.I also belive the author should of put a little more infromation as why he thinks it is nececery to explore venus however if we send machine to the grounds on venus its only giving us a limited insight on the grond we also need to discover the atmoshepere of venus,the climate,the max tempeture and the min tempeture of venus. | 3 |
e4a3b7f | I belive that the use of technology that reads a students' emotions in class is not benificial due my belife of it having flaws. Having technology like this one could be benifitcial in some cases but there could be problems. A problem I have in mind is that students can portray fake emotions. Not only that every student is unique and has different facial features.
I know for a fact that students portray fake emotions because i am a student. For example a sudent could have a problem at home and doesn't want to make others feel bad for him/her, so they would fake the emotion of happiness to hide the emotion of anger or sadness. A computer can't read the mind of a human and identify the real emotion they are really feeling.
Not only that! Every one in the world has different facial features. A students nuteral face could look like a face of boredom and cause the lesson to be changed. The computer would not know that because it's based on how the mucles look. I feel that the computer lacks 3-D model of every students' face and its time consuming to get a 3-D model of every student.
Technology that reads emotions is amazing, but i feel that they still won't benfit the students in the classroom due to the fact that it can't distinguish fake emotions over real emotions and also it doesn't know all the facial features there can be. | 3 |
e4a6768 | Cars are not always convienent. I've been asked to inform citizens about the advantages of limiting car usage. The main advantages of limiting car usage are decrese of pollution, less stress, and promotion of alternative transportaion.
First of all, one main advantage of limiting car usage is decrease of pollution. In the article 'Paris bans driving due to smog' by Robert Duffer he says "After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city." The pollution had gotten out of control, and had to be decreased. Duffer also states "Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France, after five days of intensifying smog . . ." As a result of the ban, pollution decreased. Limiting car usage can decrease pollution.
In addition, another main advantage of limiting car usage is less stress. In the passage 'Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota' by Andrew Selsky, Carlos Arturo said "It's a good oppurtunity to take away stress . . ." Also in the article 'In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars' by Elisabeth Rosenthal, a media trainer and mother of two says "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way," Limiting car usage can cause less stress.
Lastly, another main advantage of limiting car usage is the oppurtunity to promote alternative transportation. Selsky continues and says "The goal is to promote alternative transportation . . ." The author goes on to say " The turnout was large, despite gray clouds that dumped occasional rain showers on Bogota" Their attempt for promotion of alternative transportation was a success, even with violators that faced a $25 fine. Limiting car usage can help the promotion of alternative transportation.
In conclusion, I was asked to inform citizens about the advantages of limiting car usages. The main advantages of limiting car usage are decrease of pollution, less stress, and promortion of alternative transportation. Limiting car usage is very beneficial. | 3 |
e4a732b | The Face on Mars may look like a alien artifact, but in reality, it is just another natural landform. NASA's Viking 1 found a "human face" twenty-five years ago on Mars. It was said to be nearly two miles from end to end. Most scientists just thought it was another common Martian mesa. A few days later, NASA put out the image for the world to see. The authors said it was a huge rock formation that resembled a human head. They also mentioned that the shadows gave the illusion of eyes, a nose, and a mouth. It was believed to be just another rock.
Since the story, the "Face on Mars" starred in films, books, magazines, and radio talk shows. Many people thought the Face is evidence of life on Mars, but would soon realize it was just a rock formation. Even a few scientists actually believed that the Face was an alien artifact. After these rumors, photographing Mars became a priority. On April 5, 1998, the Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia and snapped ten pictures. Many anxious people waited for an image to appear on a JPL web site. The image did not reveal a alien monument, but a natual landform.
On April 8, 2001, the Mars Global Surveyor was taken out for another look at the Face. The picture shows a buttle or mesa; which are landforms common around the American West. Although the Face was believed to be some type of alien artifact, after three times of exploring, it was still proven to be just another natural landform. | 2 |
e4a792f | The use of the techonology is not valuable in a classroom because students may not want anyone to know how they feel. Students should be able to keep their emotions to themselves if they do not wish to share them. Students shouldnt have to walk in class and automatically tell a teacher or a peer how they feel because their emotions are already known. Emotions are something a student might not want to share because they might be going throught something personal thry dont want anyone to know about. In paragraph three Dr. Huang says, "A classroom computer could reconize when a student is becoming confused or bored." then later on in the paragraph he says, "Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotion and communication..." So if humans don't communicate their feelings to eachother then they probably don't want a computer to communicate them. Some people may say that that would be a good thing for students because it might help them open up more, but it would just force them to say how they feel because their emotions are already known. Emotions should be privite unless the person wants to share them. Students shouldn't be forced to share their emotions because a computer is there caculating them for everyone to see. | 2 |
e4ab2f4 | Driverless cars should continue to be develop and made more efficiently. These cars will help keep the driver and it's passengers safe in the future if the manufacturers continue to test and develop these driverless cars. It is also important that the human race continues to advance in everything it can. As time goes on things will change and the human race will eventually be forced to evolve with it.
Driverless cars have been around since 2009 accourding to the article. Google being one of the main benifactors has had their cars
drive "more than half a million miles without a crash"(para 2). These cars still have a human driver and the car is made to alert the drive when the car cannot do a funtion on it's own. For example if there was an accident to get around or roadwork the car would alert the driver. Google is still trying to change their driverless cars and make them even more safe for those who are in and or around the car.
Safety is a huge issue with driverless cars and the manufacturers who make them have come to make safety one of their main priorities. Google changed a Toyota Prius by adding sensors all around the car. Theses sensors are placed in areas where the vehicle should be able to detect almost anything that goes by them between a certain range. So, it depends how close or farway an object is for the sensor to detect it. Google even added a "dubbed LIDAR, it uses laser beams to form a constantly updating 3-D model of the car's surroundings."(para 4).
All in all, the benifits of having a driverless car in our future would be neverending. If there were ways to reduce deaths due to car accidents or texting while driving then it should happen. Safety should be key when it comes to automated vehicles and the next step for safety with vehicles will be with using driverless cars. Driverless cars are the future and they will be what our next generation uses. | 4 |
e4b5afb | Have you ever been driving a car and wishing the car would do it for you? Well, driverless cars are not so futuristic anymore. These cars are bringing us closer and closer to a minimal working society, and that can be very unsettling. Driverless cars would make us even lazier, cause uproar between drivers and manufacturers, and most importantly, are not safe.
Safety on the road is already a big enough issue with people controlling cars. Throwing these driverless cars into the mix will only make matters worse. How are the cars supposed to know the speed limits? How are cars supposed to know when there is a stop sign? All of this will take millions, maybe billions of dollars to install that many sensors all around the world.
Like regular manual cars today, accidents happen and they are bound to happen with driverless cars. In the case of an accident today, it will always be the driver's fault. But, if these driverless cars come into the picture, who's to say the manufacturing company isn't to blame? According to the passage, Driverless Cars Are Coming, "... new laws will be needed in order to cover liability in the case of an accident.". Creating these new laws will only cause uproar between drivers and manufacturers, just so people don't have to drive as much.
Driving is already an easy enough task. You press the gas and brake, steer the wheel, and pay attention. Driverless cars would only increase the amount of laziness already plaguing our society today. All the work would be done for you, making people get bored at the wheel. Drivers will be less attentive, causing even more accidents that already happen too frequently.
Driverless cars may seem like a fun and simple way to get to and from, but they can also be hazradous to our society, casue arguments between car manufacturers and car drivers, and give drivers more of a reason to be less attentive at the wheel. Overall, these driverless cars will do more harm than help. Would you really trust a machine to do your work for you? | 4 |
e4b6025 | After a long agrument with one of my co-workers deciding whether or not the Face on Mars was made by the aliens or the picture was a picture of a natural landform we both had different opinions on what we thought it really was.
My co-worker tried to convince me that aliens put the Face on Mars. He told me that by the looks of the picture it looked as if it was an alien artifact. He then stated that you could barely tell from the picture what exactly it is.
I told him I thought it was a natural landform that either looks like a butte or a messa. I also stated that the picture actually shows a Martian that kinda looks like a butte or messa. I then stated that the picture reminds me somewhat of a Middle Butte in the Snake River of Idaho.
He then decided that we should try and attempt to take a better and that we would decide from there. He sent Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera team to snap a photo ten times as sharper as the last one. He then decided that I was right and that he was wrong because when the image first appeared on web surfers it revealed a natural landform. The picture also revealed that there was no alien monument to be seen after all.
Inconclusion, after the long agrument we both agreed with my opinion. So it turns out that my co-workers opinion wasn't true. And we found out after taking the last photo that the Face of Mars came to be a natural landform. | 3 |
e4b7235 | Studying planets is often hard because of the conditions in space, and also on the planet Venus there are also very harsh conditions that humans cannot survive. Venus has a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. Exploring Venus can be a very risky planet for us to expore until we get better technology.
Venus is often reffered to as Earth's twin because it is the closest planet to be like Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too. Venus would be hard to expore becuase of the planet's suface reaching up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmosphere pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet. Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet of solar system and if we tried to land a rover there the metal would just liquify because of the extreme temperature's. NASA however, still wants to try to study the planet but they would have to hover over Venus because of the extreme conditions on the planet's surface. Even at 30 plus miles in the air in Venus the temperatures can reach up to 170 degrees Fahrenheit. However, peering at Venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can provide only limited insight on ground conditions because most forms of light cannot penetrate the dense atmosphere. Rendering standard of photography and videography ineffective. The solar power would be plentiful, and radiation would not exceed Earth's level.
More importantly, reasearchers cannot take samples of rock, gas,or anything else, from a distance. Threfore, scientists seeking to conduct a thorough mission to understand Venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risks. Many reasearchers are working on innovations that would allow the machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowledge of Venus. | 1 |
e4b94b2 | You should join the Seagoing Cowboys program because if you like to help people, in this program you will help them by getting supplies for them. If you also like animals, you will care for them and seem them everyday. If you like being on water this is a great program for you. The animals will be on the boat for you to care for them. Also you
will be traveling a lot to get the supplies.
It is also a great way to learn a lot of things. You will learn how to take care of the animals and learn about the places you go to. Taking care of the animals is not the only thing. At night you will take shifts and switch to be a watchman. Every hour you will check on the animals too see if they are okay or to just feed them. Also you will walk around the boat to make sure there isn't anything dangerous out there.
In the meantime if you are just waiting you can have a little fun on the boat. You can play baseball and volleyball with the rest of the people on the boat. Also you can play table tennis tournaments, fenncing, boxing, reading, anad whittling. Then when your done playing, you have to go back to work. You can have a lot of fun just by being on a boat. | 2 |
e4ba378 | Some people say that they face was created by aliens and others think it was just a natural landform. What do you think it is? How do you think it got there? Well im here to answer all those quetions for you.
There are so many people in the world that thought the face was created by aliens, but it really wasn't. It's just like all of the landforms on Earth that were created by people, animals, plants, and much more. NASA and a couple of scientists had an arugment about whither it was a face created by aliens or landformation. In the end it was created just like all the other landformations. I bet people still wander if NASA was right or wrong.
Well now that i told you about the face and what people think. Do you still believe in what you first thought before reading this? Maybe your right and maybe your wrong everyone has their own opinion. | 2 |
e4c1fa1 | In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile' it talks about how you can tell a students emotion from a new technology called the Facial Action Coding. Would you want a computer reading your face? or knowing how you feel? I actually don't think that is necessary. Why? because some people want all their feelings to be kept to themselevs, does'nt want the computer or the teacher knowing what's going on with them, or is'nt even comfortable with even letting a computer tell your emotions. I know I would'nt because technology is too much and can make up so many things about you.
First reason, why I feel that technology shouldnt be used in a classroom to tell how you feel because some people want to keep all of their emotions to themselves. Nobody wants technology to show them the percentage of how they feel, to make them maybe more upset then what they are. If a student is more angry than happy the teacher might start asking questions wondering why. The student didnt want anyone to know. Its like the technology would be taking over the students space.
Second, a teacher should'nt know personally why a student is feeling a type of way. Unless the student is willing to tell the teacher. Instead, of being forced to be told bc the technology is telling your emotions and how you feel. The computer constructs a 3-D model of your face, all 44 major muscles in the model must move like the human muscles. The Facial Action coding is all in your body controlling your emotions.
Last reason, I think why it shouldn't be used or is'nt valuable is not being comfortable with the Facial Action Coding knowing their emotions. The creator Dr. Paul Eckaman, came up with six basic emotins. The different emotions he came up with is happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. Also, each characteristic movement of the facial muscles. Technolgy reading how I feel, but definitly not in a classroom it is not the time or place to see how someone feels.
In conclusion, so basically I feel like you should'nt have to d it in a classroom. Maybe if you are outside of school, in a doctor office it'll be more comfortable. In class using the technology of Facial Action Coding is not where you should use it, it isnt valuable in a classroom. Eventhough, you could tell how someone feels by looking at their face sometimes, does'nt mean you use technology to see all your emotions. So, I disagree with is being used in classrooms. | 3 |
e4c6e3e | "Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor" I mean teacher need to know when his students is not in the mood to do stuff and when they are having a bad time." a classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored.
computer is very important now in this 21s no matter what you doing you need a computer to do it. computer is like life now you seen technology everywhere where that come from? and their have different kind of computer though some computer have the ability to recognize the sebtlet facial movement and can read our mind, our feelings we express, they even indicate the difference between a genuine smile and a forced smile.
I don't have enough imformation to tell you where this technology come from? we have different kind of technology, like computer, phone, etc. those are some technologies that really important to human.
computer we seen computer everywhere at school, at work, at home, computer is everywhere this technology is very important to human we can go to the internet on computer to do search everything and knows what going on in this earth. We have new computer software that have some abilities to do thing, like read your mind phone is the kind of technology that really important to human. phone been used for the first time in 20s by somewho i don't remember his name but that not the since the point. but with that phone we can connect to others no matter where they are no matter how far are they we seen phone everywhere though
In conclusion computer is kind of technology that really important to human imagine computer replace human or read your mind, your future, control your body but that not the since the point this new software is very important, like it's can tell you when people is having a good time on the internet, or see how people feelings when they are doing something and tell you when people give you a fake smile in life they have some people who are give you fake smile straigh up to your face but do you think we really need this software? to tell us what peole think or feelings. | 1 |
e4c81e7 | NASA has gotten so many questions about this face on mars. Is it created by aliens , is it a sign ? So many question unanswered to world about this face made about the unknown. People have wanted answers and
I'm a NASA scientist will give it to them as truthful as I can.
First question , Is this face made by aliens ? Most common question of all , NASA isn't really for sure if aliens made this becuase we still don't have proof of alien life or life on Mars. We haven't went to down on Mars to detect it or scan it . See if it was a rock formed by Mars itself or was it just there before and we haven't noticed it .
Next question, Is this an sign by the unknown and if it is what would earth do
or NASA ? NASA has already think that
this face remind this of a natural landform on earth but we are not sure if this is an sign from what you may call it the unknown. If is was an sign from the unknow , we would probably go check it out and see if there any life on Mars form this to appear.
Finally question , Do you NASA scientist believe that Mars made this on it own ? Mars could have made this on it own, but we are going with that thorie until we go check it out scan it , run test the whole nine yard before we go with something we are not sure about . Mars have made rock own it own before or it can be just an meator land then and made it. | 1 |
e4ca453 | What is the face on Mars? This is a question many asked themselves when the face was first discovered by the Viking 1 in 1976. Some believed it was proof that there is or was life on Mars, while others believed it was exactly what it is acutally a natural landform. Similar to the ones that form commonly in the American West such as a mesa or butte. These are the facts that cemented NASA's belief that this wasn't some alien made landfrom but rather a naturally occuring one.
Althrough few scientist believed that the face like formation was an alien artifact it still became a priority of ours at NASA to get a better quality photograph, so we could prove wether it was a natural landform or man made by unknown martians. On April 5, 1998 after years of speculation and conspriacys that it was bulit by martains and that we were trying to hide this "information", we finally got a shot at taking another photo of the face when Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time. The picture taken with the Mars Global Surveyor was ten times sharper than the original VIking photos. These photo were what we needed to cement the fact that it was not an alien monument at all and instead a natural landfrom.
Not everyone was happy with this photo though. The Face on Mars is located in a very difficult place to photograph and when the MOC took the picture in 1998 there were wispy clouds you had to look past. The conspriators believed the alien marking maybe covered by said clouds. So alas we set out again to take another picture this time on April 8th, 2001 a cloudless summer day Cydonia. Malin's team snapped an incredible picture. What the picture showed to us was that the landfrom was the martian equivilent of a butte or mesa. Exactly what we belived it was... a natural landform.
This essay may or may not have made you believe me in what this landform acutally is, but what you believe it is doesn't not change the proof of the pictures. I do hope that this enlightened you as well as convince you of the landform being completely natural. I hope you enjoyed reading my argument if I could not convince you. thank you for taking your time to read this. | 4 |

e4cde6a | Dear State Senator,
On behalf of my right of speech to speak, I think the government shouldn't keep the Electoral College. Because it's a process, without the process of picking out who will be the next president of the United States we would be able too choose a right president, we will choose the light for the people of the United States Of America.
The presidential election is held every four years, you help choose your states electors when you vote for your President, because you vote for your candidate you are actually voting for your candidates electors. During the election, most states have a "winner-take-all" system that deals with all the electors to the presidential candidates. After the presidential election, The governor prepares a " Certificate of Ascertainment" listing all of the candidates running for President in your state with name of their respective electors.
The Electoral College is a process dealing with our founding fathers, whoom which they established it in the constitution as a compomise between the elections of voting for the President in Congress or by popular vote. The Electoral College consist of 538 electors, the majority is 270. Under the 23rd Amendment of te Constitution, the District of Columbia has 3 electos and are treated lke state for a purpose of the Electoral College. In following discussion the word "state" also refers to the district of Columbia. Nothing is always good tho, there is always a bad side towards everything. Like in the Electoral College system, voters don't vote for the president but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect for the President. The single argument against the electoral college is what we might call The disaster factor. State legislatures are technically responsible for picking electors, those electors may always defy the will of the people.
They officially say that the electoral collge is unfair because the best arguments in favor of it are mostly assertions without basis in reality. The arguments against the direct elections are spurious at best. The College is regarded as an anacrinism, a non-democratic metod of selecting a president and to be overruled by declaring the candidate who receives the most popular votes is the winner. The College restores some of the weight in the poligtical balance that large states lose by virtue of te mal-apportion of the senate decreed in the constitution. They restore some of the weight in te political balance that large states by population may lose by virtue.
The Electoral College avoids te problm of elections in which no candidate receives a majority of the voting cast. It can be argued that the Electoral College method of selecting the president may turn off potential voters for a candidate wo nas no hope of carrying their state. Democrats in Texas, for example, or Republicans in California. Knowing their vote will have no effect, they'll have less incentuve to pay attention to he campaign then rather the President being coosen by a popularity of votes. | 1 |
e4ceb7c | People are arguing about keeping the Electoral College or changing to election by popualr votes for the president of the United States. How do we know which one is better or safer? Well, what's it going to be? Keeping the Electoral College or changing to election by popular votes for the president of the United States?
In the text In defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the presiden it states that, "The Electoral College is widely regarded as an anachronism, a non-democratic method of selecting a president that ought to be overruled by declaring the candidate who recieves the most popualr votes the winner." This means that The Electoral College is like a person or a thing that seems to belong to the past and it doesnt fit into the president. It aslo states that the advocates of the position are correct for agruing that the Electoral College is not a modern sense, it's the electors who elect the president, not the people.
In the text The indefensible Electoral College: why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong states that " It's official: The electoral College is unfair, outdated, and irrational." This means that people now know the truth, they think that it is unfair and will not listen to your opinion or anything you have to say about the president or senators you elect. | 2 |
e4d23d9 | I believe that using this technology could be effective in a classroom environment. The computer can read the emotion of the student and react based upon the emotions that student is feeling. This technology can also make animated facial expressions easier to read.
A computer in a classroom being able to read the emotions of a student could make the learning for students easier or more entertaining. Dr. Huang, an expert on how to develop better ways for humans and computers to communicate, predicts,"A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored. Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." Most human instructors cannot read the emotions of their students, so they do not know if they need to change their lesson in any way. For students that have issues with paying attention or struggling with assignments, this computer program could make them get more into the lesson or explain it better.
Another reason that this technology could be useful is using it to make animated faces easier to read. The article states, "The same technology can make computer-animated faces more expressive- for video games or video surgery." This could help possible college students that may be going into fields that use either of these. If a student is helping develop a video game, it would make it easier for them to use this technology to make the faces for expressive. It could also help a student that wants to become a surgeon. They need to know how their patient is feeling.
This technology could change the way we are educated. It can make it easier for us to learn in a comfortable environment. We as humans express ourselves greatly through the way our bodies move or the faces we make. Dr. Huang notes, "Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication. So computers need to understand that, too." | 3 |
e4dcbca | The article Making Mona Lisa smile by Nick D'Alto refers to a new piece of technology that allows people to see exactly how others feel, or react in certian situations. The device was created by Dr. Huang and measures facial muscle moments then associates them with emotions. The device has proven to be succesful at reading emotions of real people and portrait paintings. Using this piece of technology in the classroom would be beneifical for all parties involved.
Students experience a wide range of emotions during the average school day. The new tool could be used to indentify all of them. Starting with analysis of how students are feeling right when they walk in the door. This would be helpful to the school because it would allow them to identify students that need help as suggested by Dr. Huang. Eliminating the need for teachers to ask students for questions. Teachers would know exactly when students had a question, because he or she was making a face of confusion.
The emotion reading computer could also tell guidence councilers how children are really feeling about their current situation. Allowing for a deeper more pesonal conversation that would create a better enviroment for healing the students emotions.
Another, way that the machine could be helpful is that it could help teachers interven before students brawl. Instead of fighting the machine would assist those in charge by seeing the issue before it becomes one. According to Nick D'Alto the machince currently searches for the emotions, anger, surprise, happiness,disgust,fear,and sadness. Technology continues to make advances everyday and this machine would be able toe search for more emotions everyday.
Students require a vivid and visually entertianing lesson, with the new technology this is possible. Dr Huang believs that the machine could search for the emotion of boredom and then suddenly change the way the students recieve the message based on their attentiveness. This would be more useful because some teachers do not change they way they present the information. Technology with the ability to adapt to the needs of the students is important and another reason why it shoul dbe incorperated into school systems.
Others argure that the technology could be bad for schools. Some poeple believe that it would be a waste of the public's time to invest in something that can already be done by a person. Dr. Huang himself compared the compter to something similar to what humans would do when looking at emoitions of others. It would take jobs away from the area replacing teachers. These all may be true, but sometimes people missread emotions. Teacher can not teach and think about how ever childs emotions at the same time, this new technology would help teachers.
This computer could most definatley be benifical to schools, because of its ability to identfy emotions. The machine could help notify teachers of confused studnets, help guidence councilers identify the true meaning of how students feel, and finally help staff stop situations before they can come up. All togther these reasons show that this technology is needed in schools on a global scale. The combination of both school and technology is the future and this is definately something that will be incorperated soon. | 5 |
e4df2a6 | There have been many debates on whether or not driverless cars should be a thing. Yes, there are ups and downs of these cars, but you're always going to have those no matter the case. I believe with our technology advancing that we need to start working on some way of cars controling themselves.
One reason why I believe we should keep developing these cars is Google has had these sort of cars since 2009. If our society has been using them one way or another and if our technology keeps advancing, in 10 or so years we can find a way to make them safer. We don't have to release them any time soon, but wait till they are safer and have been tested and proved their way into pursuading people they are safe.
This can either be a pro or a con. The drivers have to stay alert and take over when the car needs it. They aren't made to know how to go around traffic and roadwork, so when the car sends an alert the driver can take over. I take this as a pro because it seems safer than leting your car try to work its way through roadwork on its own. When you have control you feel safer, but this can also be a con. When you hear "Driverless cars"
you think that you won't have to do anything when thats not the case, yet.
In conclusion, driverlass cars still have a way to come, but with our technology advancing more and more every year these cars will be safe and driverless in just 10 years. The cars we do have that may be released aren't driverless, but they have a safe way of letting the driver know when to take over. Our society will be changing in more ways than we can imagine in just a decade. | 3 |
e4e3d0f | Those pictures you see aren't pictures of aliens and they are not prints that show that aliens have been through. In 1976 the Face on Mars picture was taken, but when it was taken the camera was through some clouds, so when it took the picture it was probably some shadow of the clouds. It even says the when this picture was taken it was a cloudy day "it was winter in April '98 a cloudy time of year on the Red Planet."
The picture could just be some dust that has moved around a bunch of time at had made a face figure out of the dust and debre. The pictures also look different over time which was probably the dust and sand moving it all around. Plus there are really strong and heavy storms almost every single night at mars. so the dust, sand, and rocks are flying every where so that can cause disfiguer to anything. So before you jump to conclusion about it being aliens you should know more facts about what happens in mars on a day to day basis. | 2 |
e4e44d7 | In the article "Driverless Cars Are Coming," the author presents both positive and negitive aspects of the driverless cars. The cars would be very helpful in controlling accidents and collisions. The driverless car cars are still developing to be completely driverless but for now they still requires a person to be prepared to take the wheel to navigate through an accident or a road block. In the following paragraphs I will explain the pros and cons of these driverless cars.
The cars use cameras and sensors to model the cars 3D surroundings. A combination of the cameras and sensors help the car mimic the skill of a human at the wheel. A person must always be aware and ready to take the wheel when problems occur. If someone is on a long car ride inside one of these driverless cars they would most likely become bored and wouldn't be paying any attention to the road. If a problems were to arise and the drivers is asleep or not paying attention when the car needs the driver to take over the drivers reaction would be delayed and an accident could occur.
Say the driver was not paying attention or sleeping and the car got into a wreck is it the drivers fault or the manufacturer's fault? How would you know who was at fault? I feel the cars will never be fully safe because a computer cannot fully mimic a humans reactions, a human may know better what to do than a computer in certain situations, also in certain cases it could be the other way around.
There are certain laws in place to protect drivers, passengers, and pedestrians. All traffic laws are written assuming there is a human driver. Many states do not allow the testing of computer driven cars. More states will allow computer cars as soon as they are reliably safe. Law makers must consider that new laws need to be put in place to cover liability in case of an accident to protect both the manufacturer and the people involved in the accident.
These computer driven cars will make daily life easier. Just imagine never having to buy a car again but calling a computer driven taxi to pick you up. As long as these cars are safe and reliable they will be a part of our everyday lives. These cars will lower the accident rates and keep people safe. | 3 |
e4ea808 | If it is not broken why should we fix it? The electoral college system has been with us for as long as we have had presidents and one flaw if going to make us scrap eveything? There are many ways to fix the electoral college and throwing the system in the trash should be the last resort. Although the election of 2000 is an example of a problem that shoud be fixed it is not a reason to do away with the system.
To commence with, the electoral college is a fine system that has easily fixed flaws such as the election of George W. Bush versus Al Gore in which Gore won the popular vote while still losing the whole election. An obvious solution to this problem could be what Nebraska and Maine are doing and introducing proportional representation as opposed to the "winner-take-all" system. Also if we were to switch from the electoral college it would take citizens time to get used to the new stystem. Although the electoral college seems unreliable there is a certainty of outcome to it, while some people dispute over the outcome of the vote it is likely an arguement about the popular vote.
Although we have had the system for so long and it has been reliable and there are ways to fix it some people would still like to move away from it and create a new system. If we were to shift from the electoral college to another way to vote what would we have, a voting system fully based on popular votes? no, because a popular vote system would rely too much on citizens being able to make informed decisions which would result in unreliable outcomes.
Henceforth, the electoral college is a reliable system with easily fixed flaws, therefore we should not fix or replace the system. If the electoral college was to be replaced there would be pandemonium as to what system shall replace it, how we will adapt to the new system, and if the system is an improvement or a step back in innovation and our future leaders. | 3 |
e4eb42f | Dear Flordia State Senator:
The Electoral College is a very useful and easy was of voting. According to the article
"What Is the Electoral College"
by the Office of the Federal Register, "The Electoral College process consists of the selection of th electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress." Basically we vote for our electors which then they vote for the President which seem to be working just fine why change it?
There are many resons why people are in favor of changing the Electoral College for popular vote. In the article
"Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong"
by Bradford Plumer he asks "Can voters control whom their electors vote for?" Then answers himself with "Not always." This may be true but voters do get to vote for thier electors and it is the voters job to vote for the one they believe will choose the right president. The people need to put faith in thier electors, and even if the Electoral College was changed to popular vote they would have to vote for the president and put faith in him or her to make the right decisions for them, is they same basic thing but having electors are just another step.
"The Electoral College restores some of the weight in the political balance that large states (by population) lose by virtue of the mal-apportionment of the Senate decreed in the Constitution" This was stated in the article "
Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President"
by Richard A. Posner. This is a very good point he made, the larger states get more attention than the smaller states when it comes to popular voting in presidental elections because they have a much larger population giving them more votes.
When it comes to popular voting there have been times where no canidate has a mojority cast of votes and the Electoral College Prevents that problem. In 1968 Nixon received 43 percent pluraltiy or more votes than the other canidates but still not receving a clear majority of votes in the popular votes same with Clinton in 1992 but they both won majority in the Electroral College, so there was no need for and run-off election.
I believe that we shouldn't change the Electoral College for popular votes the way we arevoting now is working just fine and it makes it so larger states like Texas don't get more of an impact on the election because of thier population than smaller states like Rhode Island. Also the Electoral College prevents Run-off elections. Even though some believe the Electoral College as an anachronism I think that the Electoral College is still a good way of voting.
sincerly,
PROPER_NAME | 4 |
e4eec93 | Source 1 is about what is eletoral college. It's about who is the founding father who established the constitution. And its about which president gets selected to take the offfice. And it depends on which people vote on which president at the time of voting. And after you selected that president there is no going back to change the answer ant any given point when in the voting booth because once you selected your answer there is no way going bak to change it. And you vote every 4 yrs and presidents cant sttay as president after two term if reelected. And the governor prepares a certififcate of ascertainment for all listing canidate who ran for the president that won the election.
Source 2 is about the indefensible electoral college:why even the best -laid defense of the system are wrong. Richard Nixon, Jimmy carter,Bob Dole,the U.S. Chamber of commerce,and the AFL-CIO all ,in their time agreed on Aboilshing the electoral college. but electoral college you you dont vote on the president you vote for a slate of democratic or republican elector to pledged for what ever president you want to vote for. But if they take electoral college away it will cause a disaster factor for all american that want to vote. But the american are all lucky that 2000 fiasco was the biggest election crisis in a century.
Source 3 is about in defense of the five electoral college:five reason to keep our despised method of choosing the president. The electoral college is widely regarded a an anachronism ,a non-democratic method of selecing a president that ought to be [overruled] by decaring the candidate who recives the most popular votes is the winner. But each party selects a slate of electorstrusted to vote for the party;s nominee(and that trustis rarely betrayed).Yet that has happend very rarely. There are 5 reason for retaining the electoral college despite its lack of democrat pedigree; all are practical reasons,not liberal or conservative reasons. | 1 |
e4f2929 | The electotral college doesnt work in my opinion. It has too many flaws such as you are voting for a state. Thanks to the electoral college the 2000 election was a disaster. The electoral college system is unfair in a way because if your from some where with a lot of points your going to win that state. And if you win lots of small states it doesnt matter because someone can win two big states and beat you. Obviously candidates arent going to spend a lot of time in a state they know they have no shot of winning.
In 2000 17 states didnt get to see any candidates, because the candidates didnt consider them big states.
On the off chance that those electors won the statewide election, they would go to congress and Kerry would get 34 electoral votes. Who are the electors in the first place? It dopends on the state. Sometimes state conventions, sometimes the states partys central comitee, sometimes the presidential candidates themselves. Can voters control whom their electors vote for? Not always. Do voters sometimes get confused about the electors and vote for the wrong candidate? Sometimes.

e4f6f94 | When one thinks of cars, or any vehicle, one may assume a driver is a primary necesity for the operation of such.
Automakers are changing that.
As technology advances, new opprotunity arrives on several fronts.
One of these opportunities is the possibility of a driverless vehicle.
This concept comes with its fair share of hurdles to overcome, however it can be made into something great for both commuters and the environment.
Driverless vehicles have the capability of doing more than simply getting occupants from point A to B.
They can reduce accidents.
Because of the computerization of these vehicles, there can be less margin of error than a human driver may be able to provide.
Autonomous vehicles can also help the environment.
Driving patterns and behaviors affect a vehicle's overall emissions.
Since these vehicles are electronically controlled, they can be pre-programmed with the most efficient methods of driving.
For those who are wary of these new vehicles, there is no need to fear.
Driverless vehicles can be built such that a human can take full control of them when the driver sees fit, or when the vehicle itself is not apt to handle the situation.
These cars can certianly change the way we get around, but it is also evident that driverless vehicles can bring more benefits.
They are capable of reducing accidents and emissions, both of which will help us as a whole.
Autonomous vehicles can also turn control over to humans when necesarry or when convenient.
Car manufacturers such as Tesla, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and Nissan are already in the development stages of such vehicles.
Software designers such as google are working on the computer related aspects of this engineering feat.
It can be concluded that we would all benefit from putting these vehicles on the road, and, for once, taking our hands off of the wheel. | 4 |
e4ff739 | Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system so what made it able to sustain life in the past or even have the qualities that it did? Many scientist ask themselves this question but realize it is too dangerous to find the answer. This author believes that if technology keeps advancing like it is and the innovations keep coming, that one day we will be able to find ways to explore Venus. The author in this article states all the reasons on why we should explore Venus.
The author states that, "Venus is earths sister," he says this because of how closely in shape they are to each other and how close they can become during orbit. Venus has many earth-like qualities that makes us think that it wasn't always as dangerous as it is today. Scientist believe that Venus used to be able to sustain life just like earth and the author gives a great job at telling everyone about it.
With new technologies and innovations scientist will one day be able to see Venus up close. Even though the planets temperature is over eight hundred degrees Fahrenheit, scientist believe that we should still explore it because of testing that we can not do from a distance. They believe once we find more out about one planet the more history we will learn from it.
We all hope that one day we can finally find the answers so many people are looking for about Venus. Future innovations will help us in testing when we find a way to figure out all the mysterys of Venus. According to the article, it is extremely dangerous to be close to venus because the atmospheric pressure is 90 times stronger than what we are used to but we still need to find a way down there. No challenges we can not face when it comes to the future because of the advances everyone makes in technology. | 4 |
e4fff57 | A new technology called Facial Action Coding System claims it can scan a face and tell how much of each emotion the person is feeling. There are some negatives and some positives to bringing this new technology to personal computer. The author of the passage seems to only give a positive outlook on this system, when all aspects should be explored. The negatives to this technology would not be the end all be all of this product, but they should definitely be taken into account for the creation of a better system.
The Facial Action Coding System is a computer software that scans a face and recognizes what emotions are being displayed on the face. It uses codes to see which muscles are being used to move a face. For example there are certain muscles to show anger like the orbicularis oris which tightens your lips. The system uses these muscle movements to determine which emotion is being displayed and/or felt.
Although there are a few negatives to the FACS, it could potentially be a useful product. The passage says that the Facial Action Coding System could be used for relevant advertisements and a more engaging classroom effect. This system could be very helpful for ad agencies that don't know how to reach their public. If a computer scanned a face the instant it sees an ad, researchers could figure out whether or not to show an ad again. For example, an ad for cat litter with a picture of a cat could potentially produce a smile or a look of disgust depending on a situation. If the person doesn't own or like cats their face would not show happiness, and the ad agency could show a different ad. This system would also aide online class courses. If it was constantly scanning a person's face, the creator or teacher of the class could modify which sections seem to bore a student.
The system may be helpful, but the negative sides to it should be also considered. Because the FACS can only guess what someone is feeling by what is being displayed on a face, it could potentially be inaccurate for people that are prone to hide their actual feelings from their faces. The FACS only does an outerscan, it never sees what is happening in the brain. A scanner of the brain would be more accurate, expecially for people that can not or do not want to show their true emotions. Another possibly negative fact about this system is that it would need to constantly be scanning a person's face for accurate readings. This could become innacurate if used for a very long time. If it were used for an online course, the system would need to be running during the entire class, and the person could get distracted and show emotions for the distraction that are not relevant to the class. This is also potentially invasive, especially for a company using FACS to show relevant ads. People might not want to constantly be scanned for their emotions. There would be a paranoia of always being watched and unless the software company promises the facial recognition would never be used for anything other than for the ad display or for fixing a class, people would feel uneasy.
It seems evident that the author of this passage is giving the readers a positive look into the new Facial Action Coding System, but it should be taken into account that there are negative aspects to this software. People may not always want to be watched for their emotions, and the system could become inanccurate. Although it seems that the passage points towards effective and positive outcomes, the negative criticism should be taken into account and modified for a better FACS. | 4 |
e502553 | To the senator of the state of Florida you have asked us to write a letter explaining why we believe in keeping the Electoral College and the answer to that is no we should not how many votes have gone to waste because of this unfair system? and wasn't the United States a democratic country? we as citizens deserve to atleast pick who runs our country, By having this system you are not giving us the right to vote if you think about it, like Bob Dole once said "Abolish the Electoral College!".
I believe, that this way of running presidential elections should be thought about more. You do realize people stand HOURS not a couple minutes or 20 minutes hours waiting and thinking that they are going to actually pick the president they believe this country needs when in reality you are actually picking electors that may or may not help you elect the president that you picked. "What is the Electoral College" By the Office of the Federal Register explains in detail much more about the electoral college and like he said "You help choose your state's electors when you vote for president because when you vote for your candidate you are actually voting for your candidate's electors." We as citizen should have the right to pick our leader the one that will help us overcome our problems not some candidates.
For instance, Let's take the 2000 Gallup poll also called the "Biggest election crisis in a century" by Bradford Plumer in his story "The indenfensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defense of the system are wrong" Al Gore won the popular vote but lost the presidency all together and we found that out thanks to the quirks of the electoral college. Do you imagine how many presidents that must have happened to? it is like when you are first place in a race your close to the finish line, you can feel your legs givng up on you but you don't stop you keep going because you know your gonna win after all you are the first one, you're so close your about to step on the line when boom! the person that was behind you caught up and well.. you lost. Can you imagine how many votes have just gone to waste and how many hours in peoples days.
However, Some of our best presidents have gotten picked by the Electoral College there is no doubt in that. But it still does not change the fact that its an unfair system, the story by Richard A. Posner "In defense of the electoral college:Five reasons to keep our despised the method of choosing the President" explains that "As we saw in 2012 elections.. Voters in toss-up states are more likely to pay close attention to the campaign-- to really listen to the competing candidates--knowing that they are going to decide the election." What he is saying is thta basically some states do not even have billboards! how are we suppose to feel like citizens when you don't give us atleast a poster to know who is running for president? The big states get the most candidates ofcourse so basically, one states could decide who wins. The system has UNFAIR written all over it and we are all just waiting for you to see it.
In the end, It is the congress decision, But we do hope you look at these letters and realize how this is taking our rights away, how many votes have not even counted, and how selfish the whole system is. I do hope you take in my letter into consideration and decide the best decision for us. But please do remember that Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bob Dole, The U.S Chamber of Commerce and the AFL-CIO said " Abolish the Electoral College!". | 4 |
e50b0e4 | In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author shares many key facts to explain how worthy but dangerous exploring Venus would be. In the pasasge the author shares the life risking ways Venus could be ,but he or she also shares the importance and information gaining ways of how worthy exploring Venus is. The factors of how dangerous Venus is may not set us back from exploring and investigating the factors that Venus provides.
Venus has a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide that blankets the planet. The passage states "even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere. The author already shared 2 of the most dangerous features of the planet ,but is still wanting to explore. The conditions are more extreme than anything humans encounter on earth , but this could help scientists investigate how closely related it could be to earth.
Venus is refrred to as ''Earths twin". The passage gives us ways how eath and Venus are similar and differant. Putting aside the dangerous attributes of Venus it just has to be worthy of exploring ,because earth really was! It gives us a place to live and expand. How awesome would it be to do the same on Venus?
In pharagraph 4, it states "Long ago Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life". This was a good supportive fact for the author to help us understand why this is to worthy of discovering. The passgae also includes that today Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on earth. But how do we know? We have to keep an open mind to the information given to us about how dangerous this could be.
Venus has the hottest surface out of any planet in the solar system. The author shares that there are erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes ,and many other dangerous factors to add. This informs us that if Venus is so worthy to discover, we need to find safe healthy ways to do so.
NASA is working hard to find ways that it woud be posible to explore Venus. In paragragh 6, the author includes "However, peering at Venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can provide only limited insight on ground conditions because most forms of light cant penetrate the dense atmosphere" ,this tells us there are still major set backs. NASA continues to research on differant approches to study Venus. They are striving to meet the challenges of Venus and its danger .so they can prove it could one day be like earth.
There are many facts shared in this passage to help us believe that Venus is important and worthy of exploring. Like the author says "Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans. The author wants us to believe him or her, and she does this by supporting this with claims and true facts on the topic. He or she proved no matter the factors of how dangerous Venus can be we can't be set back from exploring the factors that Venus shares. | 4 |
e50e799 | In the article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" it show that the author likes to study Venus because it is like earths "twin". the earth can be dangerous but worth learning about. the earth can be livaible for humans with harsh conditons. not knowing what we can have without trying cannot be the right choice.
Venus is called earth's twin becaue as in the text it states "Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms to density and size, and occasionally the closet in distance too."(paragraph 2). we know we have a planet that is like earth can be one of the most exciting thing to know. we can survive on another earth is another.
If we were to ever go to venus we will be able to live there but with harsh conditions. As in the texts states "on the planet's surface, tempertaures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmosheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we have experience on out own planet." (paragraph3). normal weather to Venus is nothing compared to our earth. although they are alike.
Going to Venus would be dangerous but in realtiy if we don't go and study our earths twin we might not ever have the knowlege we can have by going. in the article it states "The value of returning to Venus seems indispoutalde, but what are the options for making such a mission both safe and scientifically productive."(paragraph 4). if we don't try we won't learn anything new about what we don't have.
Having a earth as similar to earth can be exicting when it comes to studing it. going to a diferent planet with different condtions unlike ours can be dangerous also, not know what could have been known is a tough disicion. | 2 |
e50ee0f | Now, for some people, cars are a way of life. Nothing pleases them more than the feeling of a stering wheel on their hands, or the growl of a healthy engine. Those people probably could never live without their cars, but you probably can. Well, maybe not living without cars entirely, but at least reducing your use of them. It'll be a lot safer for the environment, and it'll cause a lot less traffic jams. So let's see why you can go a few more days without your prized Hoda Civic.
Now, you've probably had this fact jammed down your throat more times than you care to count, but, cars produce a lot of gas, which isn't really easy on the environment. According to the New York Times article, "In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars" by Elisabeth Rosenthal, "Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe...and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States." And according to the Chicago Tribune article, "Paris bans driving due to smog" by Robert Duffer, "Last week Paris had 147 micrograms of particulate matter (PM) per cubic meter." So, less car usage means less greenhouse emissions. Yes, there are cars out there that are more "fuel-efficient," but they still require lots of energy from the environment. Not only that, but using your car less often will mean that you won't have to deal with one of the biggest evils in the world.........traffic.
Now, think, when have you ever been stuck in traffic and actually enjoyed it? Now, if you were to ride a bicycle or take a subway, you wouldn't have to deal with that! Already, some cities around the world are finding alternative ways to avoid those jams. "Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota," by Andrew Selsky, tells of how the capital of Colombia is doing so. "It has seen the construction of 118 miles of bicycle paths...Parks and sports centers also have bloomed throughout the city; uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks; rush-hour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic; and new restaraunts and upscale shopping districts have cropped up." This means you'll be able to get to work or to that first date a lot quicker! Sure, people using less cars would strike a big blow in the automobile industry, but you don't neccesarily have to never drive a car again! What about on those long road trips, or when you have to carry a lot of passengers with you? A car would come in handy in such scenarios, but not neccesarily every scenario.
In summary, driving less would be more efficient because it means cleaner air and less highway congestion. So, after reading all of this information, do you think that you have what it takes to get from point A to point B without having to get into a driver's seat? can you take your hand off of the steering wheel long enough to open yourself up to other transportation options? Go ahead, try. | 4 |
e514043 | Venus is one of three planets that orbit the sun at different times and speeds. Venus has a temperature of 800 degrees ferenheit and the atmospheric pressure is about 90 greater than what we get on Earth. These are the reasons why Venus is worthy despite of all the dangers. From the text " The Challenge of Exploring Venus" states that " Solar power would be plentiful and radiation would not exceed Earth's leves. Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans" (Paragraph 5). So even with the high radiation levels humans can still survive on Venus. In the text it also states " Some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in the chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and lasted for three weeks in such conditions" (paragraph 7). To summarize why studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite of how dangerous it is scientist have found and made devices that could help pick up and look for sediments on Venus due to hot it is when standing on it. | 2 |
e51434c | The author suggests the idea of studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents.To begin, the author has some ideas on how we should study Venus but doesn't say how going out and exploring it will affect humans.According to the article,"On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet " This means that the heat in Venus isn't very safe for humans or any object to stay in and the pressure is 90 times greater.Those who disagree might claim , there are more to explore in Venus and their coud be some kind of creature living in the planet even though it is very hot for someone to live that long in Venus.Despite these claims even though Venus has it's similarites to earth the high pressure and heat,Venusiaan geology and weather present additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lighting strikes to probes seeking land on it's surface.Furthermore,the author gives some reasoning towards why studying Venus is a good idea, he/she says that if we can find a way to live in venus then we should since Venus is the most Earth-like planet and we should have no problem living there since their so alike.
In Conclusion,The author's suggestion has some good evidence supporting his idea but putting those who will go out to visit Venus
are risking there life due to it's high temperture and pressure knowing they won't find anything and it being to dangerous to have the human society living there and not taking the problems that Venus has and to know that Venus isn't similar to Earth at all. | 2 |
e51bf95 | I have done many things in my years, but I will never forget about being a Seagoing Cowboy. I have seen and done many things being one. There are many reasons as to why you should be one too.
I've been to several places all over the world and all of them have been very exciting. If you were to be a Seagoing Cowboy, you would see several places too. Although it could take up to a month to get to the place you need to be, there are several things to keep you busy and entertained. One way you would keep busy would be caring for the animals during the crossings. You would have to feed and water all of them two to three times a day, but its fun if you love animals. Although it can be fun on the way to your destination, its most fun on the way back when all of the animals are off of the ship. We would play baseball, volleyball, table-tennis, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and others to help pass time and keep us entertained.
You might think that feeding, watering, and cleaning their cages for the animals would be boring, but thats not all you do on the job, I promise. There are so many great opportunities to being a Seagoing Cowboy, so many sites that you could see and be a part of. I'm very lucky to have made the choice to be a Seagoing Cowboy and I encourage you to be one too. | 3 |
e51f18f | Today we as a state take avantages of limiting car usege.
cars in the us is a part of most people everyday life.
In vauban Gurmany residents of this upscale community people has given up their cars. Street parking, driveways and hom garages are generally forbidden in this experimental new district on the outskirts of freiburb near the franch and swiss borders.
Alot of people from Germany gave up thier cars so they can move.
As a result in gurmany 70percent of vauban' families do not own cars.
Also 57 percent sold a car to move. The other percent sold their car to servive.
And also peple dont own cars becaus they cant aford a car.
Automobiles are the linchpin of suburbs where middle-class families from chicago to shanghai tend to make their homes.
Do you know 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe?
Well it do and also up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the united states. From research there has been efforts in the past two decades to make cities denser and better for walking.
Now they are taking the concept to the suburbs vauban home to 5500 residents within a rectangular quare mile.
All of there development since world war 2 has been centered on the car.
David goldberg an official of groups in the united states that is promoting new communities that are less development on cars. How much you drive isas importan as whether you have a hybird. But in the united states the enveironmental potection angency is promoting. | 1 |
e5206d7 | I think going to join the Seagoing cowboys program would be intersting for boys and there's a lot of good reasons they should go.
The cattle boat rides,visting places like Europe,China,and Greece. The cattle boat rides would be activity to do for fun. Visting places like Chinca, Europe ect. would be very interesting because you get to meet and learn bout people from different culutre and state andh help peoepl out from that state and learn what they do that we don't or what you probably never heard of. You can baseball or volly ball with you team and make new friends get to know people better. They play tennis,fencing,boxing,reading,whittling ,and games. Reading can help you etter in life if you ever deside you want to read so thats a reason boy should join the program. Also you can learn new and differen things through the program you can go with your friends or family thers's alot of activties for kids and aldults to do. Fencing can be a little excersise for you to stay slim whille you're out there. | 2 |
e523f16 | My opinion on driverless cars is that they would be cool and very neat. The downfall is what if this car the car malfuctions? What if the car if now whats its cracked up to be?
I would say for the driveless cars is a job idea. I say this because it will cause less accidents based off of people letting going of the wheel. Or simply becuase of people not paying attention to the road. This way people would have the lead way to tlk and text while on the road for long periods of time. Also the road would know the road so you could just lay back and relax.
Lastly, the downfall of this is the first driveless car could be very expensive, so not many people are going to have a first. In the end, others companies will learn how make the car and better and better. The future is holding in this invention. | 2 |
e528ae4 | The author of this article uses many valid points and reasonings to support their idea. They refer to Earth and it's compatability to Venus a lot. They also use reasoning about Venus's temperatures and conditions. Although the author uses many disclaimers throughout the article, they still make good claims that studying Venus is worthy, despite the dangers.
In the second paragraph, the author states "...Often referred to as Earth's twin, Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too.". They are insuring that a helpful reason to research this planet would be because it is similar to earth, and a relative distance away. The author also states that "Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth.". This shows the readers that Venus is worth studying because there may have been life on this planet. Therefore, NASA needs to send researchers to Venus to identify if there is life or not. The author gives another example by referencing Earth-like features to show that thesremay be some form of life or a way of nature, these references include Venus having mountains, valleys, and craters. This validates the authors point well.
The author also gives ideas on how to help make a possible trip to Venus easier and less dangerous. They talk about using a bump-like vehicle that orbits or hovers about 30 miles above the surface. This vehicle has benefits, and also gives disclaimers. Some benefits would include astronauts being able to explore the land easier, avoiding the "unfriendly" ground, and keeping good air pressure. the text states "however, peering at Venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safey far above the planet can provide only limited insight on ground conditions because most forms of light cannot penetrate the dense atmosphere, redndering standard forms of photography and videography ineffective." This shows as a disclaimer to give unbiased proof ofnegative effects.
This article is full of evidence to support the authors idea of studying Venus. The author referred to Earth, recommended ideas, and a technology project used with old computers to support their claim. In conclusion, this article had very well put-together evidence, and proves a point that Venus should be studied despite the dangers. | 4 |
e52a741 | I am against the value of using the Facial Action Coding System because some people may try to hide a feeling like be upset or sad because they don't know how to tell someone why and how they feel. Just because they are hiding what they feel doesn't mean that someone can take new technology and found out what their feeling, because if they wanted people to know how they felt they would.
On the other hand if you use the technlogy you could change a lesson if a student was becoming bored or confused to help them do better in school. This technology could help more students pass classes so they can graduate. But some may not like the thought of someone being able to look at a computer and finding out what they are feeling.
They need to respect what people feel and not try to figure what is wrong because they didn't want to tell. If they found out they person may get upset and by confused at what happened. Using this could cause people to be disapointed in what people are feeling. This could cause people to get angry at others. Just because the technology exists doesn't mean that you have to use it.
I believe that the Facial Action Coding Stsyem shouldn't be use. This is because people may not want others to know want they feel, if they did they would tell them. But if they just told they wouldn't need the Facial Action Coding System. Some students may be struggling with things and may talk but what they are feeling but if they are confused they could just ask for help. Just because students dont show their feelings doesn't mean that they won't when they are ready. You should let people express their feelings at their own time not by using technology that could tell what someone is feeling. Using this technology would cause to be frustrated even more because they can't tell people what they feel on their own because the technology would tell people ins't and not when the person is ready to tell people what they feel. | 3 |
e52f321 | Venus is a very pretty panet-that looks like a star from Earth-that lights up the night sky. Even though it is often referred to as Earth's "twin," Venus has proven itself to be dangerous to explore, but very worth it. Despite its proximity to us, obsurd heat and pressure condidtions, spacecraft landing failures, and high levels of corrosive sulfuric acid make studying Venus very challenging.
Although it is very dangerous to enter these extreame conditions, NASA (The National Aeronautics and Space Administration) has came up with a theory to avoid Venus's 800 degree Fahrenheit temperatures. They suggest that Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray-only reaching 170 degrees Fahrenheit-about 30 or so miles above the landscape. This would make the air pressure close to that of sea level on Earth. Still, these would not be ideal conditions, but survivable for those with deisre.
Another fear of scientists is spacecraft failures. Humans have sent multiple spacecrafts to land on Venus-each unmanned-but have all failed within a couple hours of landing. Although those previous missions have toutched down on Venus, none have made contact in three decades. This is very discouraging for scientists, but also motivating in some aspects.
The most crutial danger of landing on Venus is the insanely high levels of corrosive sulfuric acid. These clouds make it impossible to survive through Venus's atmosphere. This atmosphere contains almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets coating the planet. This makes it unreaistic to have human life on Venus.
The insane pressure and heat, spacecraft fails, and sulfuric acid in the atmosphere make studying Venus very challenging for scientists. Scientists believe that dangers and doubt should not limit the edges of immagination and innovation so, they are striving to meet Venus and its challenges. | 3 |
e52f7a8 | Dear state Senator,
The Electoral College doesnt give the most equal way to pick the president by the U.S. citizens. the citizens may pick the electors who decide on the president that they want to vote for, but that doesnt always mean the electors will always follow through with their promises and be true to their citizens or the citizens might be confused to which elector they truthfully want to vote for. because of the electoral college, some states never get to see campaign ads or even get to see the presient visit their state becuase the cnadidate running for president knows which states he's winning before the election even begins so he only campaigns in the states he will need to win over.
The Electoral College needs to be abolished, the citizens of the U.S. deserve to have a popular vote system instead of the haywire system of the electoral college because the way the election depends more on electoral votes rather then popular votes,
In 2000, Al Gore recieved the popular vote in the election but recieved 266 electoral votes, while George Bush recieved 271 electoral votes but lost the popular vote. the winner of the election was George Bush, it didnt depened on the fact that he lost the popular vote by the citizens, it only depended on the fact that he won the electoral votes, voted by qualified citizens of each state which is ridiculous because the citizens get a say in it too, they deserve to choose. Why do they need the popular vote system if they wont use it in the elections if the electoral votes win? because they want to make it seem like the citizens get to vote for a president but truthfully, the | 3 |
e530376 | Have you ever wondered about how another planet can be just like earth and how its terrain is well researchers have found out that venus can have the exact same terrain and other features to it as well.
Venus often referred as earth's twin has the same density and size and it is the closest to our planet as well. While researchers try to land a spacecraft on the surface of venus it is almost impossible to because the temperatures on venus are an average of 800 degrees farenhite. The pressure is 90 times more than what we experience on our own planet so we would be crushed if we stay there. Thats only the beginning of what goes on there, there is erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes to probes seeking on its surface. But even after that it is just like our planet earth because scientist have been looking at venus and found that venus has a surface of rocky sediment and othr features like valleys, mountains, and craters. They have also found out that there use to be covered in largely oceans and also could've supported various forms of life.
The conclusion to all this is that even though venus is dangerous and also good at the same time that we can still explore it and possibly have human life living there. | 2 |
e532ebd | The Electoral College is a process, not a place. The founding fathers established it in the constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens. I think the best way to know who wins the election is by the majority votes to the candidate.
The Electoral College process consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress. The voting system should be done like specificly, because if you setup different things it's not going to work at all. It depends what kind of setups you are making. But I think it's not the good way to make voting system in setups.
Each candidate running for president in our state has his or her own of electors. The electors are generally chosen by the candidate's political party, but state laws vary on how the electors are selected and what their responsibilties are.
Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president. The singal best argument against theelectoral college is what we might call the disaster factor. The American people should consider themselves lucky for the 2000 fiasco was the biggest election crisis in a century; the sysytem allows for much worse. Consider that state allows for much worse. Consider that state legislatures are technically responsible for picking electors, and that those electors could always defy the will of the people.
Perhaps most worrying is the prospect of a tie in the elecrtoral vote. In that case, the election would be thrown to the House of the Representatives, where state delegations vote on the president. Because each state casts only one vote, the singal representative from Wyoming, representating 500,000 voters, would have as much say as the representative from California. Given that many voters vote one party for president and another for Congress, the House's seletion can hardly be expected to reflect the will of the people. And if an electoral tie seems unlikely, consider this: In 1968, a shift of just 41,971 votes would have occured if a mere 5,559 voters in Ohio and 3,687 voters in Hawaii had voted the other way. The election is only a few swing voters away from catastrophe.
It's official: The electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrational. The best arguments in favor of it are mostly assertions without much basis in reality. And the arguments against direct elections are spurious at best. It's hard to say thsi, but Bob Dole was right: Abolish the electoral college!
The Electoral College requires a presidential candidate to have trans-regional appeal. No region has enough electoral votes to elect a president. So a solid regional favorite, such as Romney was in the South, has no incentive to campaign heavily in those states, for he gains no electoral; votes by increasing his plurity in states that he knows he will win. This is a desirable resuly because a candidate with only regional appeal is unlikely to be succesful president. The residents of the other regions are likely to fell disenfranchised-to feel that their votes do not count, that the new president will have no regard for their interests, that he really isn't their president.
It can be argued that the Electoral College method of selecting the president may turn off potential voters for a candidate who has no hope for carrying their state-Democrats in Texas, for example, or Republicians in California. Knowing their vote will have no effect, they have less incentive to pay attention to the campaign than they would have if the president were picked by the popular vote. But of course no voter's vote swings a national election, and in spite of that, about one-half the eligible American population did vote in election. Voters in presidential elections are people who want to express a political preference rather than people who think that a single vote may decide an election.
My only suggestion is to do the votes through the majority voters to the candidate because any kind of setups are not going to work. And the people are not likely going to believe all that stuff. It's kind of hard to do that but, it will going to work. | 1 |
e53ed3d | Not to long ago driving a car was considered a dream to kids that were not able to drive. Driving a car was like a step towards adult hood and indelpendencs. I was one of thosde kids and now that I am able to drive I am loveing every minute of it, but as of lately companies have been designing and testing driverless cars. The idea is to drive the auto motive indeustry on showing people that there is a way that they can recieve transpotation and not have to do any work at driving the car. Personally I think of it as annother way for someone to be lazy.
I love driving and I do not want a company that created a web site making a driverless car that will take over America's roads. At the begining of this article it says, "Can you imagine a time in the future when no one buys cars because no one needs them anymore?" I don't want to immagine that because I want the future generations to feel the sense of accomplishment that I felt when I first started driving my car, also there are so many different cars that it would be hard to make a driverless car that can replace all of them. How would a self driving car ever replace the adrenalin pumping speed of a car like a Corvette Z06 or Chellenger HellCat. The purpose of cars like these is to go as fast as you want when you want to. How would a driverless driving car give that is disigned to go the speed limit give you them type of enjoyment as the cars that I just listed.
Then there are the offroading cars like the Jeep and the Ford Raptor. I would like to see Google explaine to me and the rest of the people that agree with me that they can build a driverless car that can some how be a better car for offroading than these. I think that there is nor possibe way that they can achive that kind of goal. Not only that but the cars that they have disigned cant even handle a traffick jam. The test says in paragraph 7, " They can steer, accelerate, and break themsleves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents." Why in the world would they make a partially driverless car! They don't even have the skill to make a car that is able to slow dow in a work zone or go arround an acident why even trust this car at all when you can trust your self instead.
In conclusoin Driverless cars are a bad idea because you can't get the excitement that you get form driving different tipes of cars. Also, kids wont feel the sense of accomplishment that we got driving a car for the fist time because that car will drive it slef. But most implortantly how can we trust the technology in the car when it can't even navigate itslef arround a car crash or slow down when passing through a work zone. So, in my oppinion lets not make a car that can encourage people to be lazy in a whole different way. | 4 |
e53f0de | Dear Senator,
The Electoral college can be greatly described as a pedigree. The Electoral College being around for so long as the time of our founding fathers- quite a long time, now having doubts? "The Electoral College is widely regarded as an anaschornism,". Can't say that anyone shouldn't be surprised just like anything in this life everything comes to an end at some point. Agreed that it is unfair something like the Electoral College to be around especially in this era, it craves more rights than it feels it's been restricted from. Yes, it has a history that truly lights the room of American development, but already many things from the government have changed, Would it really hurt to change the Electoral College?
America has always been about the people? With the Electoral College it's the people's choice with a twist. "voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors," it would be much simpler if the candidate you voted for would just be elected, and also democratic to choose that way...totally giving your vote to a group of people. Although their hasn't been numerous situations in which the Electoral College vote will dosen't win the national popular vote...It still happened and also a possibility that it can happen again! Why have two different types of votes when you can easily have one vote? "The Electoral College restores some of the weight in the political balance that large states (by population)" the vote is America broken in one whole breaking up the population in each state, which is equivalent to breaking us up in 13 colonies. We should be considered one!
"The presidential election is held every four years on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November." Example that everything is in order and exact, and has not changed just like how over the years we have found that some things that our Founding Fathers did were "wrong" why not put doubt in the electoral vote? Yes, also true the electoral vote keeps other parties who are not sufficient enough to run the country, but their aren't many voters usually not voting for either a republican or democrat, proof that the electoral vote simply is an anachronism. A winner-take-all basis dosen't seem like that big of a deal after all only one person has to be president, but the electoral vote dosen't affect that...at all. Any rebuddle going against a non-electoral voting society dosen't seem to make a valid reason.
A Senator like yourself has power for the better of the people...and would use their powers wisely people would hope. No doubt you haven't thought about it, or haven't made action to the problem, but this letter is simply a right this country has given me as a citizen-freedom of speech. My defense is equality, and shouldn't be ignored sometimes a pedrigree like the electoral vote needs to change. What is your job as the Senator? How would changing this out-dated process impact the country? All questions that the people have been asking, without the people w | 3 |
e54748b | Lukes ponit of view
is to convince others to join the seaongoing coboys program.To do so you must be willing to go out to sea to feed people of the war that went on. It will take two wweks to get to Euope and a month to get to China.But you
have to make sure the animals are healthy. Also you hav to give them watter on very hot days on borad the ship.Last you have to check on them every hour.
The first
reason luke wants people to join is to help people in need. So they can have more help and more hands to feed the animals on the journy ahead.And so there is more clothes and more aid to help injerd people.
and to help unload animals. that is the first reason people should join.
The second reason people should join is because of the great seanery. You get to play games on the way back to get more supplys.And it can open the world.It can make people aware of the suffering of other people that lost there home. And maybe lost family in the destruction that the war made.
The tird reason to join
is to be happy that you are helping people that cant help what the have lost. And to get thanks from people that you helped. Also raise awarness to let people
get help. To donate caned food supplys.and new clothin to peple who need it more.
In conclusion
it would be nice if outheres would join this program. Also you can help the animals. You will be fed on the trip. and you can get very good at helping others with social skills. And you will be very good at being a farmer with animals. | 2 |
e5491a4 | The idea of Venus is a worthy pursuit despite of the dangers beucase Venus it like the closest planet to the Earth because of the density and size and even of the occasionally closest in the distance too. Even though the other plantes orbit the sun as a differnt speed. The speed be changing because sometimes we are closer to Mars or Venus depending on the speed of the Earths. When the spacecraft would go try to land on venus there mission were unmanned. There missions were unmanned becuase most of the spacecraft did not survied on there landing for more than a few house and that's when they knew they could not send spacecraft to Venus because they would not be able to survie thier so about more than three decades no sapceship go sent there aging.
Venus is also sometimes called the "Evening Star" because it's one of the brightest planets. Venus is also the second planet from the sun but even though we not able to see the sun we are able to see Venus from a distant poin of the Earth. Trying to go and examine Venus more closely is like very dangerous for you because
you will not be able to survie the for long. The spacecraft really want's to know morw about Venus and try fo there and there research and they also trying to take a risk by going. Even though they can't really go to Venus many of the reashers are trying to make machines that can last in Venus.
Reashers are trying to make innovation that can allow the machiens to last long engough to knowledge of Venus. They have send electorns made of silicon carbide and got test in surfeace of Venus but it only got to last for about three weeks only.
The NASA is the one working on the approaches of the studying of Venus. The NASA is looking at another project of an old technology called chanical computers. This technlogy was made in the 1800s and was used in the 1940's during World War II. It sounds a little weird that they had technlogy that old.
It sounds werid that they alredy had computers but these computers were really powerful, flexible, and very quick. If the computers were really pwerful, flexible, and very quick these could really help. The computers could really help on the studying of Venus because you need something that technology not a spacecraft because will really not survie in Venus. You need like good technology that can be able to go to Venus also becuase the technology in Venus could expoled or something can happen to Venus and you will not be able to get good reachers about Venus. That is why you should really have good technology to study Venus.
Venus should be able to have people study it and see what's around it and everything. If you go to Venus it would very changllening but there has to be something that you can be able go to there without somethig happing to you. Traving on the Earth and other stuff should not be limited of dangerous. There has to be stuff that you might do and it might be chanllenging to do Venus. There might be doubts also but you should expanded and meet you imaginatio and ivvovation of Venus. | 4 |
e5565a7 | Dear Mr. Senator,
My name is Jacob and I would like to discuss with you some of the problems with the way the presidential election works. I believe the system using the Electoral College is unfair and can have its negative outcomes. In my opinion, the President should be chosen through the popular vote. There have been several times to date where presidents have one the popular vote but still lost the election due to the Electoral college. Often the President will have won by both Electoral votes and the popular votes but that isnt always the case. The electoral which has 538 electors are people as well. What is to stop them from voting who they want and not what the popular vote says in that state? They are people that are put in a position of power to choose who the next president will be. The obvious choice would be for them to pick who they want as president. Voters may also get confused about how the system works. They may thinkn that their vote doesnt count, that only the electors votes count. I believe that using a system where the popular vote is what chooses the election. This can solve several problems such as confusion and biased electors. If people felt that their vote counted, they might even want to get more involved.
Sincerely,
Jacob | 3 |
e55d0a9 | In the article Making Mona Lisa Smile, the author explains how the Facial Action Coding System works. According to Thomas Huang and Nicu Sebe you can tell how people are felling through a computer. The computer can scan your face and tell you if you're happy or sad. This is very interesting considering not even humans can tell exactly how you feel, but a computer can. There would be very mixed emotions about this throughout the world. They use all 44 major muscles, movement of one or more muscles is called an "action unit".
In the article they talked about putting this in schools. This could be very useful in many schools. If teachers knew how everyone felt by just looking off a computer screen it'd help them a lot. Most teachers can't tell how they feel all they can do is ask and students can easily lie. So if the Facial Action Coding System was programmed in all the computers in the school it'd be very helpful. In the article it says that it can even tell if they are faking emotions by the way the muscles move. You can even use this program to see the emotions off pictures and paintings which is insane.
This program could be very valuable in school classrooms. Teachers could tell if a student is undertanding it or not or if they are just bored or angry. This could help education a lot across the world. The longer they work on this the more emotions they could get the computer to scan. The teachers could see what interest the students and what students don't enjoy learning about.
Most teachers go off of what most kids want to do and some kids just lie and say they want to do a certain thing so they look cool. This program could show what every kid in the class wants to do by scanning their face. Which is so valuable for teachers. This progam would give a chance for the teachers to get closer to each and every student in the class. The Facial Action Coding System would be very valuable in the classroom. | 3 |
e564726 | In this generation, our planet is getting flithier and filthier by the day. What many people are too late to realize is that we are the main cause of our dirty planet. Cars contribute to air pollution a lot. What's the only solution to this smog filled atmosphere? There are many, but limiting car usage will definitely be beneficial and highly advantageous. Limiting car usage will help reduce air pollution significantly, and will even help humans out too.
We breathe the air in our atmosphere. When you notice that our atmosphere is as dirty as it is, you really don't want to think about what you are putting into your lungs. The amount of air pollution is an extreme amount, and if not controlled soon, we will be in danger. An advantage of limiting car usage would be that the air pollution will be benefitted, and will be getting lower hopefully. As Robert Duffer states Paris of having " intesifying smog." That should be very concerning news and should be a clear wake up call. Limiting car usage is definitly something our planet needs to look into. A healthier atmospere is better than one filled with smog. The decrease of air pollution is just one of the many advantages of limiting car usage.
Limiting car usage is also advantageous by taking away stress. Many people that drive all know what the pains are of being stuck in traffic. What if you don't wake up on time and you skip taking a shower, or skip eating breakfast, and speed as fast as you can to make it to work? It causes severe stress. From that point on in the day, you literally can't concentrate or focus and you just know it is going to be a rough day. Well, limiting car usage would take some stress away. See, super slow traffic , being late to work, skipping the most important meal of the day, it all just builds up into a lot of unneeded and unwanted stress. If people don't have to deal with congested highways, they could enjoy a nice walk to their job, or ride their bicycle. Doing this would instantly take away stress. "It's a good opportunity to take away stress..." says Carlos Arturo Plaza, a business man(Selsky). There are cities that have tried having a day with no cars. It has worked in taking away stress, as you can see. Taking a bike ride or walking instead of driving a car is also beneficial becasue it's exercise.
Limting car use has its benefits. People should be aware of the growing danger of air pollution, and limitng car usage will help reduce the amount of pollution. Also, it helps in taking away stress and clearing minds. It is not a bad idea to start limiting our car usage, for we will receive the benefits of decreased car usage. | 4 |
e56adc7 | I think that this new devolpment in car technology is very interesting, but it is dangerous and needs to be used with great caution, if these become allowed to be used on the road. Driverless cars could become safer overtime, yet at this moment with the unideal road conditions and reckless driving of the young and old, I do not belive it would be safe for the public to use these cars. Once the technology of companies like Google, BMW, and General Motors are advanced enough to create a safe enough environment, so that these cars are not a hazard, is when these driverless cars can be applied to everyday life.
These driverless cars are a hazrd to unexperienced drivers, teenagers and elders could cause serioud injury. It is proven that young teens, who are just starting out with their license are lacking experience causing them to make bad judgement calls, throw in the fact that there aren't real humans behind the wheel of a car right next to them, and that could create a real problem. Machines do really help out and take some of the pressure off of you but, "the only safe car has a human driver". The only actual safe way to assit in avoiding accidents, is by only allowing human drivers on the streets. It is already bad enough with just real people, imagine adding driverless cars to the mix.
Next, machines are very eratic. Even an iPhone, which has been pretty much mastered, glichtches like crazy if you do not keep an update. Even if you do keep an update, sometimes it just happens. This is alright for something as small as a phone, but if you can imagine a row of driverless cars glitching without warning? This could cause massive accidentsand could seriously injure people. If we took the chance to asses the risks ,I believe the opinion on these cars would change.
Another point that could be made is this, it takes the fun out of driving. Getting your license and getting behind the wheel is exciting, and with these driverless cars that is sort of being taken away from the young and old drivers who are just getting their license. "Why would anyone want a driverless car that still needs a driver? Wouldn't drivers get bored waiting for their turn to drive?" I completely agree, drivers these days consider driving a fun privleage that they get. Driving should be an exciting, new experience, but with these driverless vehicles,driving would not be much fun. The driver would have to stay alert, yet they would not actually get the feeling of having complete control and drving the car.
Overall, I belive that driverless vehicles are very dangeroud. If these cars do become legal to be used on highways and interstates, they would need to be used with extreme caution. Drivers would need to stay alert while not actually driving, and I belive that this could be the greatest risk of all. Driverless vehicles should not be allowed on the roads. | 4 |
e572cf7 | Have you ever though about being a seaging coyboy? I have and I think everyone should be a seagoing coyboy. There are many resons I think everyone should be a seagoing coyboy. I am going to tell you about how this program will let you experience many amazing adventures. I am also going to tell you about how you get to visit many unique places.
The SeaGoing Coyboys program will let you experience many amazing adventures. In August 1995, we recived our orders to report to New Orleans. We arrived August 14. The day the Pacific war ended. We got our seaman's papers and boarded the SS Charles W.Wooster, headed for Greece-with cargo of three hundred thirty-five horses plus enough hay and oats to feed them.
The Seagoing Coyboys program also lets you visit many unique places. Besides helping people, I had the side benefit of seeing Eroupe and China. But seeing the Acropolis in Greece was special. So was taking a gondola ride in Vinice, Italy, a city of streets and water. I also toured an exavated castle in Crete and marvled at the Panama Canal on my way to china.
Those the reasons I think you should be a seagoing coyboy. This program will let you exerience many amazing adventures. You get to visit many unique adventures. You should consiter being a seagoing coyboy. | 2 |
e573505 | Making Mona lisa Smile
I agree that using technology to read students emotional expressions is valuable because you can communicate more with your expression not just with people but also with computers. For example from text,"Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communtication,"notes Dr. hang."
It helps students because it shows the computer your emotion when you don't understand something and it's like a teacher seeing your face while you do work on something sam way it works on a compueter. Text from paragraph 6, "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored",Dr. hang predicts.'' It can also be just a painting and it can show the emotions of the painting you can use it even identifys your mixed emotions, Text from passage,"Using vido imaginary, the new emotion-reconigtion software tracks these facial movements in a real face or a painted face of Mona Lisa."
The same way you see someones expression when you talk to them is the same way the computer will show it, you may not always be accurate sometimes you may think they're sad when they're really happy same for compueters text from paragraph 5,"Of course, most of us would have trouble actually describing each facial trait that conveys happy,worried,ect."
Using technology is valuable to students, it shows another way to communicate, it shows if your smile if real or fake, it's like other people are being able to detect your feelings even if you don't want them to see it. Students can also learn different expressions they thought they didn't have example from text," According to the facial feedback Theory of emotion, moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions, but also may even help produce them." | 2 |
e57467e | What would you do if you saw a face on Mars? Twenty five years ago we found a landform that looks like a face on mars surface. It is a big ovle that looks like it has eyes a face and nose. The face is looking right out into outer space and it has a veiw of the whole solar system. When the NASA spacecraft called Viking 1 taking pictures of spots were its sister ship could land Viking 2 it was if the face was looking at them. There is not a face on mars, it is just a landform with a shadow that makes it look like a face.
There must have been a degree of surprise among mission controllers back at the Jet Propulsion Lab when the face appeared on their monitors. In paragraph three is says that A few days after discovering the face they set it out for all to see, and the caption noted "huge rock formation which resembles a human head formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth." The "Face on Mars" has since become a pop icon. On April 5, 1998, when Mars Global Surveyor flew over cydonia for the first time, and took pictures with there Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) they revealed that there were no aliens and that it was just a landform.
In paragraph eight it says that not everyone was satisfied. The Face on Mars is located at forty-one degrees norht martian latitude where it was winter in april '98 a cloudy time of year on the planet. So skeptis said that perhaps the the alien markings were hidden by the haze. "As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size," he added. So if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids you could tell what they are.
What the picture actually shows is the Matian equivalent of a butte or mesa landforms common around American West. This pictures shows a face but it is just a landform with a shadow making it look like it has eyes, a mouth, and a nose. People think that aliens are making signs saying that this land is theres but its just a landform nothing more, nothing less. On April 8, 2001, a cloudless summer day in Cydoria Mars Global Surveyor (MOC) drew close enough for a second look. "We had to roll the spacecraft 25 degrees to center the Face in the field of view," said Garvin. Malin's team captured an extraordinary photo using the camera's absolute maximum resolutuin. Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters, compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 Viking photo.
The Face on Mars has starred in a Hollywood film, appeared in books, magazines, radio talk shows and even haunted grocery store checkout lines for twenty five years! Some people think the Face is bona fide evidence of life on Mars evidence that NASA would rather hide, say conspiracy theorists. Meanwhile defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an ancietn civilazation on Mars. But there is no such thing as aliens, nothing can live on mars or any other planets besides earth. Some scientists think that the Face was an alien artifact, photographing \Cydonia became a priority for NASA when Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) arrived at the red planed in Sept. 1997, eighteen long years after the Viking missions ended. | 3 |
e5752c8 | There are many advantages to limiting car usage in our community. Other countries such as France, Germany, and Colombia are home to cities that are working towards cutting down the use of personal automobiles. Many of the people in these places find that using alternative transportation means proves to be less stressful. Studies even show that fewer Americans are purchasing cars for themselves. Now is the perfect time to join in with Vauban, Bogota, and New York and spend less time in our cars.
It may seem hard to believe, but in Germany, there's a suburban area where residents live without their own cars. According to "In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars" by Elisabeth Rosenthal, the streets of Vauban, Germany remain "car-free" aside from some public transport. The article states that "70 percent of Vauban's families do not own cars, and 57 percent sold a car to move here.". Heidrun Walter was quoted in the excerpt saying "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way..." Communities in Europe and the United States are hoping to move towards this "car-free" lifestyle, in order to become less dependent on automobile usage and cut back on greenhouse gas emissions that damage the environment. We may see an increase in the number of "smart planning" areas across the globe. If a mass of citizens wish to lessen the amount of time they spend in their cars, it's possible, and the city can adapt to a more automobile-less way of life.
Bogota, Columbia dedicates a day to transportation without the use of personal cars, where the city's goal is "...to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog". Many who visit Bogota during this time are impressed by the "revolutionary change" they see unfold before their eyes. Going "car-free" leads to more physical activity amongst residents and an overall nicer-looking community. "Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota" by Andrew Selsky claims "Parks and sports centers... have bloomed throughout the city... sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks... restaraunts and upscale shopping districts have cropped up.". Not only does the city reduce the amount of greenhouse gas it contributes to the atmosphere, but it results in a more active and better-looking community.
What change would we see in our own community were we to follow in the footsteps of Bogota and Vauban? The United States is seeing a decrease of car ownership in the country. Less and less people are buying automoblies and obtaining driver's licenses. "The End of Car Culture" by Elisabeth Rosenthal says that "...America's love affair with its vehicles seems to be cooling." The writer cites investment research company Doug Short of Advisor Perspectives, which states "...the number of miles driven in the United States peaked in 2005 and dropped steadily thereafter..." The country is already subconsciously moving towards a more car-independent lifestyle. The millenial generation seems to be the biggest contributor to this declined interest in car-ownership. With improved methods of communication by means of social media and cell-phones, as well as more use of car-pooling and public transportation, people are staving away from car commuting. While this may require a change within the automobile industry, many agree that this turning away from private car usage will see communities striving to be more time and energy efficient when it comes to transportation.
Limiting the use of cars can lead to a less polluted and stressful environment, more exercise-oriented and upscale communities, and the conservation of our natural resources. Cities around the world are working to become less car-dependent, so that they may limit their contribution of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Were our community to move towards this more eco-friendly, car-free way of life, we would not be alone. | 4 |
e576be9 | There was an funny looking landform on Mars. That other scientist had tooken a picture of in 1976 and mars that look like a face icon. the picture was blurry and we couldnt really tell what it was so many people had did research on it. Many scientist like me and different people thought it was different things. Like just a regular natural landform in Mars and others think it is a face that a lien had left there to show a icon. We also had a arguent over what it really was. Me as a scientist and other people that thought it was a icon that aliens marked.
I, as a scientist disagree about what many people think it is. I personally think its just a regular natural landmark in Mars. Others think its a icon for something a alien made because its shaped as a face a few scientist believed the Face was an alien artifact. Some people think the face is nonafide evidence of real life on Mars. Us scientist had describe the icon which resembles a human head . its formed bve shawdows giving the illusion of eyes, nose and a mouth. This have attracted alot of people attention to Mars.
This icon have became very popular. For example in pargargraph 5 its says " its starred in Hollywood Films, appeared in books, magazines, and is in radio talk shows. This shows that the icon is really popular and many people know and talk about the icon.
Around April 5 in 1998 Mars global flew over Cydonia for the first time and took a better picture of the icon for we can tell what it was more cleary then the other pictures they had. We discovered that it was just a natural landforn and there wasnt no alien icon.
There was nothing else really said about the natural landform because we know what it is now but we also know that its not essay to target Cydonia. | 3 |
e57b857 | Autonomous cars seem like they would never happen, but our world is changing and they are just around the corner. Autonomous cars are cars that are driven by a computer and not a human. Although, a driver can still take control when needed. The computers know know to drive and when to stop or go. In the article it states that the autonomous cars will use half the fuel of today's taxis and they are more flexible than a bus. The new cars though are not in total control, the drivers still can drive. I do not think that the driverless are a good idea and they should not be developed. They are dangerous, very expensive, and making our world more lazy.
To begin the driverless cars are extremely dangerous. Some people will have the driverless cars and some will be normal. The driverless cars let the driver take over if needed. The seats will vibrate, the voice control will come on, or any way to get the drivers attention; according to the article. What if the driver fell asleep and is a very hard sleeper. The cars might not be able to wake him or her up in time. Then, resulting in a crash or even more tragic. I think that the cars that are not driven by a computer are in danger. The driverless car will know when to stop and go at a stop light, but what if another car goes on accident and they did not mean to. It could be a pile up and a mess. The cars are just not safe enough for me to think that they should be developed.
Another reason I do not approve of driverless cars are that they are expensive. Yes, they do get better gas millage, but the cost of the cars to begin with is going to be outrageous. Somepeople and companies are not going to be able to afford the cars. The cars savings on gas will never compare to the crazy cost of them to begin with.
It states in the article that the upgrades to existing roads will be simply too expensive to be practical. I agree with this statement completely that the money will not be practical. The cars do have more flexible schedules than busses, but i would rather ride a bus than a very expensive car. There is a possibility of it getting into a crash and then you would have to get it fixed with even more bills. The car is just too expensive and crazy.
Lastly, the car in my opinion is lazy. The world today would rather have someone else care for them and for them to just relax. Yes, relaxing is nice, but you have to know what work is. The car is just another way for the world to be lazy. Driving is not that hard on your body, it is moving your feet and paying attention. The car just allows the world to have another way to be lazy. I think that it is good for your body to pay atttention and keep your eyes on the road. It makes you not drift off and think about what you are doing. The people that will have to take control after the car can't go through crashes or traffic will not be on their top watch. They probably will be sleepy or not paying attention. I just don't like to think of another way for society to have a reason to be lazy.
In conclusion, I do not agree with the development of driverless cars. They are dangerous, cost a lot of money, and they are a way for people to be more lazy. They will not benefit our society in any way. People have more control over a car than a computer. The money that people don't have should be used on food not cars. Somepeople are having a hard time providing for their family let alone having a car payment too. Also society is lazy enough without these driverless cars. The development of autonomous cars should not happen because the cars are never going to benefit society. | 4 |
e57c038 | In the story "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" the author likes to talk about how important Venus is and how dangerous it is. The auother starts the story by giving us some points about Venus, on how it is known by the "Evening Star" and it is the second closest planet to the sun. A little further in the story the auother gives us an idea how dangerous it is, one point being how thick the atmosphere is in Venus. But then giving us information on why this planet is imporatant, by telling the readers that this is the most Earth-like planet. Then giving us another example of how dangerous it is to even be close to the planet.
One of the first points the auother made was on how thick the amotsphere is. As this being one of the first points that they said it must be one of the most important things to know, on why it is dangerous to here even land there. The auother goes on getting more into detail about how thick the atmophere is and "almost 97 percent" is carbon dioxide, and then explaing to the reader that the atmospheric pessure is "90 time greter than what we experience on our own planet". These conditions are no match for a human as it can "crush even a submarine," thus showing how bad the conditions are for any human. In this topic the auother does very good on his explantions giving the reader information on how bad the atmosphere is, and giving good examples.
Further into the story the author goes into why the planet Venus is so important. Not saying this right away but as you go on to read paragraph 4 the auother brings up on that Venus is the "most Earth-like planet". The auother estimates that Venus had life like things with large oceans and "supported various forms of life". Venus still has some Earth features such as "valleys, mountrains,and craters". The auother does not go into this as much but still gave good examples and enough informatuion.
Keeping our distance from Venus is very important. This point kind of brings us back to the atmosphere being so dangerous. the auother goes in om talking about how we have ti keep our distance because of the ground condtions. But hovering the planet limit "insight on ground condtions," because of the dense atmosphere. This will not stop us from trying to get closer to the planet, as many researchers are " working on innvations that would allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowledgeof Venus. The auother did enough infortmation and was good enough for readers to picture how bad the condtions were but there
is still an up side to it.
Bringing all the points together. The auother making good statements, readers might say we should risk the condtions. If the auother is very right with these points, readers will say we should risk the condtions and go for a new life. As we sit here and waste this beautiful planet we could be trying to have a new life in new condtions. | 4 |
e57f0b9 | For centuries, man has been fascinated by the stars in the sky. From the earliest civilizations, people looked to the skies for answers. They worshipped the flaming sun and glowing moon. Later, this worship subsided, and looking to the skies took on a more scientific pursuit. Now, man has come to a time where they can visit the stars and planets. The author does not make Venus sound like a worthy pursuit, because the author is basing the article on the assmption that people should visit Venus.
The author gives three reasons for visiting Venus, and that is Venus is sometimes "our nearest option for planetary visit, a crucial consideration given the long time frames of space travel". Exploring Venus would help us learn more about the planet (paragraph 8) and encourage us to explore other intimidating areas (also paragraph 8). However, the last two reasons are tagged on at the very end, with little elaboration or mention in the essay. Furthermore the second reasoning is vague reasoning. The author should have used specific reasons instead of the umbrella phrase, such as learning why Venus has changed so much since their theoretical ocean covered past. Some of these can be inferred, but it's better to assume the reader knows nothing than expect them to know everything.
The other problem with this argument is the assumption that people would make a planetary visit. Save for the feel of adventure (and that would likely not make a profit based on the billions poured into these endeavors), the other reason a person would visit another planet is if they made their own planet inhospitable. It would be preferable if the government used some of the money given to NASA on projects relating to the Earth. For example, they could spend money on more efficient, sanitary, moral, and less pollutive techniques concerning meat production. They could spend some of the money on making cheap, biodegradable containers and utensils. They could use the money to subsidize fruit costs (they already do so for meat).
It would be nice if the government invested more money in figuring out how to get rid of the ring of trash around our atmosphere (from various space missions) before launching anything else.
The author does not make Venus sound like a worthy pursuit, because the author is basing the article on the single assumption that people should visit Venus. Though it is understandable that many would find fascination with expoloring beyond he outer realms of what is known, I don't think so much money should be poured into these endeavors. Much of Earth's polluting can be remedied, if the government put more money and effort into this. | 4 |
e58330e | The Author says that if our sister planet is so inhospitable, why are scientist even disccusing further visits to its surface Astronomers are fascinated by Venus beacuse
it may well once have been the most Earth like planet in our solar system. Long ago, venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life just like earth today.Atomospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet. These conditions are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on earth such as environment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and would liquefy many metals. Also notable, Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system even though Mercury is closer to our son. Beyond high pressure and heat, Venusian geology and weather present additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes to probes seeking to land on it surface. | 2 |
e5865e9 | Every 4 years, the first Tuesday in November. When its time for it, president elections is one of the most hectic times of the year. But what should the winner depend on? Electoral College should be removed by the government and just have popular vote be responisble. Electoral College can have electors go on the opposite canidates side so they lost a vote, which is just wrong. This argumentative essay will argue why Electoral College should be taken out by government.
One may say that Electoral College is the best system for voting, but then again that may just be the cheaters. Electoral College believers think that having electors go on either side to let one canidate win, is right. "Knowing their vote will have no effect, they have less incentive to pay attention to the campaign than they would have if the president were picked by popular vote.."(Posner). So these Electoral College followers agree with the electors actually selecting the winner because they don't have to do anything. People can just sit back and watch the electors take the power, while the others do nothing but be slumps. In source one, the Office of the Federal Register mention that "when you vote for your candidate you are actually voting for your candidate's electors.", which means that if voters have friends in the position of an elector, voters might just vote for the elector because theres nothing else to really pay attention to.
Even though there are people who support the Electoral College, there are many people who are against it. In source three, Posner states "it is the electors who elect the president, not the people."If one has gone through an election, theres a long process and hassle of being able to vote, but if people go through the craziness to vote, why not make the vote count?""Faithless" electors have occasionally refused to vote for their party's candidate and cast a deciding vote for whomever they please."(Plumer, paragraph 11). Not only are voters wasting their time to vote but the electors cheat. For example, if one candidate has the urge to win, they will send one of their electors to be on the opponents side so the opponent loses a vote that they believed would be theres. Electoral College also may not be fair to those in a small state. "a large state gets more attention from presidential canidates in a campaign than a small state does...", as said by Posner. Its not fair that even the people who vote from a small state, won't really get recognized because there are bigger states to overrule, and even then, the electors will still choose who they desire. Electoral College is an unfair, and a cheating way to vote.
To conclude the argument, Electoral College should forsure be removed. Citizens favor popular vote over an electors vote. Candidates and voters enter a whole different threshold to express their political preferance. Why should the government even have voting if there really not truly being seen in the correct way. Citizens want to take a stand and vote in what the mind believes in. Take out Electoral College, and let the voters vote, actually count. | 5 |
e58d29b | In many places, people drive cars. We know that driving a vehicle can lead to all kinds of pollution because of the fuel we use to power them. Because of this reason, people have decided to stop driving their cars, or take time off from driving them. Places such as Germany, America, and even Paris, France, have stopped using their vehicles as frequently.
In Vaubun, Germany, many have given up their cars and have deicded to walk to where they need to go. Their streets are completely "car free", except where the tram to downtown Freiburg runs, and some streets on one edge of the community. You are allowed to own a car, but you can only park at the edge of a development, but you have to buy a space for $40,000, along with your home. for this reason, 70 percent of the population does not own a car and 57 percent sold their car to move to Vaubun. Some families say they're much happier wtihout a car.
In Paris, France, a partial driving ban has been enforced. On some days, motorists with even numbered license plates were told to leave their cars at home or they would suffer a fine. Then the next day this would apply to people with an odd numbered car. Almost 4,000 people where fined and twenty-seven people had their cars impounded. This ban was enforced because of the amount of smog that is in Paris.
Pollution is a very bad issue, and people driving cars do not help at all. All of the driving is very bad and it needs to be stopped. Programs which stop people from driving cars is very helpful. The partial bans on cars and banning them completely will definetly help the world, the air, and humans too! | 3 |
e596f8b | Driverless cars are a thing of the future that are becoming more and more present in our lives. Driverless cars are an advancement of our regular manual cars and allows the car to do the manual work the driver would usually do. Driverless cars are becoming more and more talked about as they become more of a possibility for the regular person, but are they really safe for the road. No, they need more testing and certification before they're allowed on the streets. In this essay the problems with the cars technology and other aspects will be dealt with.
Driverless cars shoud be kept off the streets for matters of safety. These cars are new and people don't have much knowledge on them so the risk of a manufacture problem with the computer is very possible. Driverless cars would also make it easier to get away with illegal acts. Thes acts include driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol, texting and driving, and much more. With these on the road people's lives and health would be on the line. even as technology advances, it can't advance the human mind. If the car is unable to control it's self anymore and the driver is not fit to drive a lot of problems are going to occur. Also if the car has a malfunction and an accident occurs who recieves the blame the driver or the manufacture? Self driving cars are just a problem waiting to happen. People around the world would feel safer with the manual cars they're used to than cars that aren't very well known and have the possibilty to malfunction at any given time. Technology should be more focused on creating cures for diseases and doing things to help the the people in the world, rather than assisting the fat and lazy in getting around without doing any work at all. Also these cars will cost much more to manufacture and sell at higher prices than manual cars, so what regular person would buy a very expensive car just because it can drive itself, something these people already know how to do and can do for less money?
Self driving cars shouldn't be street legal for many obvious reasons. They're more of a problem than they're worth, and need to be tested more before they're certified for the roads. For now there are just too many underlying problems for these cars to work. We should just stick to what we know, manualy driven cars. As the future comes maybe these cars will become a possibilty, but for now they need to keep testing these cars and sorting out the kinks before they allow people to drive them on the streets. | 3 |
e59ae28 | Many citizens argue that the Electoral college a process,a compromise between election of the president by a vote in congress and election of the president by a polular vote of qualified citizens according to source 1, is not right for them, that it is a quite confusing process. Many citizens also say that the electoral college is a excellent idea. The Electoral college should be changed to election by popular vote for the president of the United States because, the Electoral college is a confusing process, the Electoral college is unfair to voters and voters cant always control who they vote for.
The Electoral college should be changed to election by popular vote for the president of the United States because the Electoral college is a confusong process. According to source 2, Who picks the electors in the first place it depends on the state ........... the ..............can voters control whom their electors vote for?..........Do voters sometimes get confused about the electors and vote for the wrong candidate? sometimes.
Voters can get confused about who they pick and how they pick them especially if they are a new voter and its their first time voting. The Electoral college is a confusing process, according to source 1, the Electoral college process cosists of the selection of the electors..... the electoral college consists of 538 electors.........."state" also refers to the District of Colombia..... The electors are generaly chosen by the canidate's political party.....when you vote for president you are actually voting for your candidate's electors ..... your Certification of Ascertainments are sent to th congress and the National Archives as part of the official records of the presiential election. The process is quite confusing a simple vote would be much easier for voters to understand.
The Electoral college is unfair According to source 2, Because of the winner-take-all system in each state candidates don't spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning etc focusing only on the tight races in the "swing" states. and seventeen states didnt see the candidates at all and voters in the largest media markets didnt get to see a single campaign ad. In the Electoral college your vote has to go through these many processes that may or may not even be casted unless approved by a candidate or an elector? in an direct vote a vote is casted directly to whoever the politician is. The Electoral college is unfair as stated in souce 2. | 3 |
e59d33b | As years go by, technology advances. For example, everyone waits for the new Iphone to come out, or the next new gaming counsloe. It is a fact that technology will continue to become a more significant part of everyday life. Although, there are some ways that technology would not benefit people. Driverless cars are a prime example of technological advances going wrong.
Manufacturing driverless cars would only cause trouble for the future. First, driverless cars are too expensive to manufacture. In the article, the author explains how Radar alone costs two hundered million dollars. If just one part of the process of developing driverless cars costs millions of dollars, just imagine how much more it would cost to actually build them. Not only will the initial cost be in the millions, just think about repairs needed if an accident were to occur. The owner of the car would be in extreme debt by the time the tires are changed. In which case, driverless cars would just be an economical waste. Second, if an accident were to take place, the only people to blame would be the manufactuerers themselves. In pharagraph 9, the author explains how most self driving cars "focus on keeping drivers, passengers, and pedestrians safe and lawmakers know that safety is best achieved with alert drivers." This lead to many states banning the use of self driving cars. Companies still believe that these states will make it legal to test these cars once the cars are proved more "reliably safe." The fact of the matter is, that just one screw out of place could cost a life.
As technology advances, there are more chances that something could go wrong. Yes, driverless cars would be a huge advacement in this technology filled world, but people need to recongize the potential damage that come with them. Self-driving cars would be the equivalent of drivng with a blindfold. There is no point in giving something so unnesscary out to families. So to prevent harm to anyone, drivers, passengers, and predestrians, it would be best to not manufacture driverless cars. | 4 |
e5a2fc0 | The author belives its worthy that we keep sending people to Venus despite the dangers it presents. In this eassy I would give resonse and explancions as in why the another things we should keep exploroing Venus.
One of the resons the author suggests that we keep studing Venus because its closer to Earth. Sence Venus is closer to Earth the scientists belive that there could be life on Venus. In paragrahp 4 the text states that " long ago, Venus was probably coverd largely with oceans and could have supported various froms of life, just like Earth". Now in days scientists say that the planet still has some familiar features such as valleys, mountains and craters.
Another reson why the author things we should keep studing Venus is because, he belives that maybe someday Venus cand be our nearest option for planetary visit .The text states that " Futhermore, recall that venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit, a crucial consideration given the long time farmes of space travel". This shows that maybe someday the scientists will find a to be able to live in Venus.
Many people are trying to make machines that can last on Venus to help find discover more about it. Acorrding to the artical"NASA is working on other approaches to study Venus. For ezample some simplifed electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surfawce and have lasted of three weeks in such conditions". They are also looking back at old technology called mechanical computers.
In conclusion this shows that ev even tho it maybe dagers sicentists are still trying to finger out ways to go and explor more abot Venus without so much danger. | 3 |
e5a3667 | Who's tired of driving? Who's tired of buying new cars? I am. Have you ever thought about Driverless Cars? Driverless cars is a new invention just waiting to happen. There's so much good things about this new invention that can be developed. I think our cars that we have now should be more advanced. Our world is advancing as years go by, it's time for the cars to start advancing, and it starts with Driverless Cars.
Driverless Cars have a lot of technology to it, but good things come with it. They're more smarter than the cars we drive now, they're more safe than the cars we drive now. You don't even have to drive it yourself, it does most of it for you! The cars that we have cause wrecks, doesn't have a lot of technology in it. Who wants a car with updated technology? I surely do. What about spinning spensors on the roof, or a video camera? Driverless Cars has all of that. Driverless Cars has a dubbed LIDAR that uses laser beams to form a constantly updating 3-D model of the car's surroundings. The sensors can even cause the car to apply brakes on wheels and shorten the power from the engine. That's a way better response and control that you could manage yourself.
Safety has always been a big concern. Don't worry, the safety with these cars are wonderful. It has flashing lights on the windshield and other head-up displays. It also has a driver's seat that vibrates when the vehicle is in danger of backing into an object. If you get tired, or your just not watching the road, their actually considering fixing that problem too with cameras to watch if you remaining focused on the road. It senses things a single human couldn't sense fast enough. You'll still be in control of the car, it just helps you react faster to incidents and inform you when danger is nearby.
Who wouldn't like this new invention? I think it's perfect for our future. It's something that should be developed. I would love to be more safe in my vehicle and have a lot of technology. It's time to look past these cars that we have now and look forward to cars that will help us more and require less stress. While the driver watches the road, the car watches the driver. | 4 |
e5a7bcf | This article, "Drivless Cars Are Coming", talks about development of how close manufacturers are to a car that can drive itself. After reading this article, I personally beileve that they should create a car that can drive itself. I feel that if the car can drive itself, car accidents will decrease. The car could be aware of its surroundings, and be able to prevent an accident from happening. The car will have sensors and will be able to tell how close an object is.
People often get distracted when driving. Whether, it's a mother trying to help her child, a teenager recieving a text, or a person is fatigue. People can only focus on so many things before something goes wrong. The driverless car would be focusing on the road no matter what. This way, the "driver" doesn't have to worry when looking away for a spilt second. Some people don't have fast reflexes, and can't brake on time, the senors could help with all this.
The driverless car can help with people who cannot drive, like the elderly. An elderly person cannot drive themselves around when nobody else can. WIth this car, it can solve that for them. With the elderly in this car that can drive itself, instead of the elderly person driving, it would be safer for the elder person and other people on the road. The elder wouldn't have to worry about not being able to look at the signs or farway objects anymore, since the car will be in control.
I do understand that something could go wrong with the car when in use. I beileve that there should be some sort of precautions set, in cause of faulty of product. Who would be the one to blame? It should all depend on evdience. If it was built wrong, then the manufacturer. If the person in the car knew something was wrong, and decided not to get it fix, the person is at fault for not fixing the problem before anything happened.
I beileve that driverless cars should be produce. I feel that it could change everything for the better. It could make life more simple, and easy. It could decrease car accidents. No more worrying about taking every turn you take is a bad one. You wouldn't have to worry if you're not quick enough to stop. The driverless car could help with problems when driving. | 3 |
e5a9937 | The majority of Americans have the luxury of owning a car. A car of course, seems like a useful innovation. It gets you places quickly and efficently, and is easier than walking. Yet so many people drive cars that the roads get congested and clogged easily as the cars just idle in the road waiting for the traffic jam to loosen up. Car usage causes the enviroment to decline and an increase in air poulltion, it would be a great idea to lower car usage since it is so detrimental to the health of the enviroment and the health of the populace.
An advantage to reducing car usage is a more benifical enviroment and a better overall health standard. "Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe... and up to 50 percent in some ... areas in the United States." (Source 1). Personal cars directly contribute to greenhouse gas enissions and by cutting down personal car usage and encouraging the use of car pooling and public transportation we can decrease greenhouse gas emmmisions. Also walking and biking to your destination instead of driving helps encourage healthy living and habits as well as exercise.
Cars also cause poulltion and smog to hang over cities causing the air to be full of harmful chemicals, endagering peoples health and also causing a rise in asthma for the populace that lives inside the city. In places like Beijing,China smog and poulltion from cars cause the air to be so foggy and dirty that you cannot even see the sky. "Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city."(Source 2). When Paris was accosted by the same problem they solved it by a temporary ban on driving to clear the air. Without so many people driving cars we wouldn't have these many issues with smog and it's effect on the enviroment. With less car usage smog and pollution would drop.
Driving not only creates an issue with air pollution but also with water pollution and the contamination of the earth. Cars run on gasoline, a fossil fuel. Which is brought up from underground by drilling into the earth. Fracking often has a negative effect on the earth, often causing oil spills into the ocean or earth. The effect of the oil spill is pollution and mass death of wildlife in that area. By using alternative methods of transportation such as trains,buses,taxis,subways, walking and biking we reduce the amount of gas used and also the amount of car emmissons released into the air. Cars guzzle gasoline and this causes a huge need for fossil fuel, by using cars less we lessen the need for gasoline.
Many people agree with the statment that without cars their lives are easier and less stressful due to the fact that they no longer have to worry about traffic jams and car crashes as well as any other dangerous event that can happen while driving. This excerpt from the third source, shows a man's reply to the event Day Without Cars that takes place in Bogota,Colombia once a year. "'It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution,' said businessman Carlos Arturo Plaza."(Source 3). This excerpt only furthers my point that less car usage causes people to be more calm and less worried or stressed. "'When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way,' said Heidrun Walter" (Source 1). This quote from source 1 which discusses a suburb in Germany that is car-free. This blurb shows another example of someone who became happier without a car. Another advantage to reducing car usage is less stress.
Also to some people a car is just a backup for when public transportation falls through. "They organize their summer jobs and social life around where they can walk or take public transporation or car-pool with friends." (Source 4) By reducing uneeded car usage we cause a more effiecent society less dependent on cars and more dependent on better types of alternative transportation. "'A car is just a means of getting from A to B when BART [type of public transport] doesn't work.'" (Source 4). By improving public transport we reduce car usage which improves the enviroment and quality of life.
Less car usage will help the enviroment as well as lower stress. "Transportation is the second largest source of America's emmisons." (Source 4). By eliminating uneeded car usage and introducing more public transportation and alternate means of transport we will be eliminating one of the greatest causes of greenhouse gas emissions in America. The advantages of eliminating car usage is less pollution, healthier living and a less stressful life. | 5 |
e5a9b76 | A vast majority of people who have seen "The Face on Mars" belive that it was created by aliens.
This cannot be true because there is too much evidence to disprove this conspiracy theory.
The Face on Mars was not created by aliens because it, in fact, does not even resemble a face, and there are many others like it on Mars.
There is too little evidence supporting that it was created by aliens, but there is pleanty of evidence that supports the fact that it is just another rock formation on Mars.
One example of this evidence is that The Face doesn't look like a face at all.
In the passage "Unmasking the Face on Mars" is states that the picture taken in 2001 of the eleged face "actually shows the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa."
In the 2001 image taken by MSG (Mars Global Surveyor) you can clearly see the large rock formation that is present on Mars surface.
It very clearly shows that it is not a face created by ancient aliens.
Some strong belivers in the theory that think it was created by aliens state that NASA is covering up the truth and not telling the public the truth about the Face.
This however just would not make any sense.
If there was an ancient civilization out there on Mars NASA would want to make it public because this would benifit them.
They would be funded by the government to study the artifacts or maybe even lifeforms out there.
In "Unmasking the Face on Mars" it states that "the defenders of the NASA budget wish ther was an acient civilization on Mars."
Not telling the public about alien civilizations just would not be a smart move on NASA's part.
This wouldn't be the first time NASA has found a huge rock formation on Mars surface.
Scientists have come across a massive amounts of rock formations in the time they have been exploring Mars.
This is just another one of those cases.
When NASA released the picture of the Face to the public in the caption they noted a "huge rock formation... which resembles a human head." (NASA)
NASA never did mean for the Face to be hugely popular and for theories of it being an acient civilization.
It probably never crossed their mind that theories this preposturous would appear.
They just wanted to draw attention to Mars and the space program.
There are a large number of rock formations on Mars and this was just another one of those boring old rocks. The face just goes to show how people are fantastic at blowing things out of proportion.
These formations cannot and were not built by an alien civilization.
There just is not enough evidence supporting the fact that it isnt just a mesa or butte like here on Earth. | 4 |
e5b6aff | The future of cars are always going to get better and better but driverless cars? That would be a huge jump to the future. Driverless cars are being worked on in this year. These cars will change the way we drive. Driverless cars are going to make driving easyer, safer, and more helpful
Driverless cars can help us humans by making driving easy. For Example, If you wanna go to the mall,your driverless car can take you there without a problem. Another Example is that a truck driver can get across the states way easyer. The truck driver has nothing to do but keep his eyes on the road. Wow super easy!
Driverless cars can also be much safer then a real person driving. A examble, is that your tierd after a hard match of friday night football with your team and your left arm is hurting but you still have to drive home you could crash because of the left arm. If you had a driverless car you could get home worry free. A driver less car can make the trip a lot safer.
Driverless cars can helpful in your driving life. An examble, of this well be if a pregent women is at home alone without a phone and her water broke she could use her driverless car to take her to the hospital. What happens if your on the phone with sombody because its really inportant but your driving and then you wreak. If you had a driverless car you could be on that phone as long as you want.
In conclusion driverless cars well inprove the future. The Driverless cars will make driving easyer, safer, And helpful. so lets wait for these great cars to reach the market. | 2 |
e5b83a8 | Technology is accelerating at a very rapid pace! Just 30 years ago the computer was created, and now we're almost at the point of a car driving for you completly. Everyone has their own thoughts on this subject, some people might think it's interesting and some might feel skeptical and that we're creating a dissastor. How do you feel about a car that will drive for you?
Thinking about a car that could potentially drive for you sounds a bit scary. Looking at the statistics of automotive accidents, they would be sure to increase significantally due to the technology being new to everyone and them not being used to it, but also dysfunctions with the car itself. The new technology would be great, but only if when it's used it's very regulated such as having special tracks the cars drive on. If it gets regulated, companies who own tracks the cars are permitted to drive on could have insurance that if something happens they're fully covered. This would help with a lot of the law suits, and also a written contract should be signed stating that you agree with the terms of use.
In conclusion, driverless cars would be a nice thing to have but only if regulated and restricted on state roads. The way technology is expanding maybe one day a car will be invented that would be smart enough to drive on roads, but we haven't gotten to that point yet. As for now driving should be left to humans not technology, that's getting too risky for your own safety as well as others. | 3 |
e5bb1c0 | Dear State Senator,
Currently, the Electoral College makes the final decision of who should be elected president. Some people may think otherwise, but I believe that we should change the election by popular vote for the president of the United States of America. In the Electoral College they don't vote for the president. It's also unfair to voters, and it's the disaster factor.
To begin with, I think that we should change the election by popular vote for the president of the United States of America because the Electoral College doesn't even vote for the president. As the article "The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defense of the system are wrong" by Bradford Plumer states.. Instead, they vote for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president. If you lived in Texas, for instance, and wanted to vote for John Kerry, you'd vote for a slate of 34 Democratic electors pledged to Kerry.
Moving on, I think that we should change the election by popular vote for the president of the United States of America because the Electoral College is unfair to voters. Because of the winner-take-all system in each state, candidates don't spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning, focusing only on the tight races in the "swing" states. During the 2000 campaign, seventeen states didn't see the candidates at all, including Rhode Island and South Carolina, and voters in 25 of the largest media marketse didn't get to see a single campaign ad.
Last but not least, I think that we should change the election by popular vote for the president of the United States of America because the Electoral College is a disaster factor. The American people should consider themselves lucky that the 2000 fiasco was the biggest election crisis in a century; the system allows for much worse. Consider that state legislatures are technically responsible for picking electors, and that those el | 2 |
e5c1049 | To whomever it may concern,
The process of the Electoral College has been a problem for many years and deserves to be abolished at its roots. The Electoral College should not be kept due to the fact that not many Americans comprehend this legal process, swing vote catastrophies and other problems, and its lack of democratic pedigree. You may wonder why someone like me is even writing about this or why I even care, but I care about what happens in my country's economy and government, and others should too.
First thing's first: knowledge. From personal experiences and research, you may realize that the majority of Americans in 2014 couldn't describe to you what the process of the Electoral College even is. Each state is different in this process, just like each opinion is different about this topic. This is an immensely confusing subject to read about, especially when you're just an average person watching the news or reading an article online. Although, let's be real for a minute: its really difficult. The process consists of selecting the electors, and the meeting of the electors where they vote for our President and Vice President. Also, in school curriculum across the country, you never really go into depth about the Electoral College unless you're taking a hardcore government class. In this case, the students are yet to be informed about the causes and effects of the Electoral College and the disasters it can cause in our economy.
Let's continue, shall we? The swing vote catastrophies, the worrying about who will be elected and whether or not they'll do a good job controlling our government, it's just not worth it. Over sixty percent of voters would prefer a direct election rather than the system that we use now. When citizens vote, they're basically voting for slates of electors, who then eventually vote to elect the President as well as the Vice President. The question is: Who are the electors? Who picks them? Are they responsible with the task at hand? The fact of the matter is that you really have no control over who the electors vote for. A "faithless" elector can vote for whomever they please, even if it isn't their party's candidate. This process is extremely unfair to voters across the country, and I doubt the phrase "Life isn't fair", a quote by my grandmother, would even apply to this discussion.
As previously stated, the process of the Electoral College isn't the greatest of them all, nor is it fair to voters. I asked who the electors were, and who picks them... but where is the abundant democratic pedigree? To remind you, a democratic pedigree is the origin and history of something, especially when it is good or impressive to others. The Electoral College is outdated and irrational for our modern day concepts. This extensive process lacks alot of opinions, evidence, and background knowledge that is necessary when voting for candidates. On the other hand, there is usually a certainty of outcome in the election, and it avoids run-off elections which is pleasant to citizens who are for the Electoral College. What about the swing votes? What about the values?
To wrap things up, the Electoral College is not needed in the United States government because of lack of understanding, disasters that may be caused, and the democratic pedigree and honesty that is nowhere to be found. I hope you consider my decisions and grow very fond of my reasonings.
With great appreciation,

e5c3b9b | Car usage has decreased more and more as the years have gone on. Numerous people have found other ways of transportation rather than driving a car everywhere they went. The decrease in car usage has been very beneficial to the enviornment and continues to do so.
With the decrease in car usage, a suburban community called, "Vauban" in Germany has mostly been named "car-free." Their reasoning for their lack of car usage is because most of their citizens decided to give up their cars to live a better lifestyle. Its an easy solution because stores are placed just a walk away and as a result many people are commuting by bicycle or by walking. In Paris, France the city banned driving during smog to clear the polluted air in the city. To enforce this, the police would fine about 22 euros to anyone driving during the partial ban.
Bogota, Colombia has started a program called, "Car-free day" where most citizens will use another source of transportation like hiking, biking, or even taking buses to limit the amount of pollution for the day. Even rainfall has not stopped people from participating and broken sidewalks have been repaired and rush-hour restrictions have limited traffic. In the United States ''recent studies have shown that Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less, and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by." Studies have also shown that the number of miles driven in America have dropped since 2005. Driving by young people has also decreased between 2001 and 2009.
All in all, car usage has decreased tremendously in the past years and continues to decrease. Many countries have taken action to limit the amount of air pollution and it has benefited the enviornment. | 2 |
e5c5136 | Imagining a time in the future when no buys cars because they don't need them is almost a utopian dream. The dream of not having to actually drive your car something every driver dreams about. Mainly because of the responsiblity and stress that is placed on your shoulder as you get into that drivers seat. Whether you're an inexperienced driver or not this could be very beneficial.
Not only do you have to be cautious of other drivers but you have to remained focused on the road. So for a student driver, or perhaps an elder who may be too impaired with medication to drive, this driveless car could benefit them. This could lower the emotional strain you have about grandma not seeing that vehicle pull out in front of her or your child crashing into another driver because they may have been texting.
For a driver education vehicle, I think this could be a good teaching device. If you look at all of the accidents that have happened while in the process of learning the rules of the road cpuld save a lot of lives. The benefits of the car, such as knowing how close you are to bumping into another vehicle, could help someone who maybe parrelle parking. The vehicle will know if you are too close to the curb you are, or may parrallel park for you!
So, in conclusion, what is my position on driverless cars? I support the idea of this vehicle however, referring to my first statement, I don't think we will ever have a vehicle that is completely driverless. Even if a computer takes over your driving, you still have to watch the road and navigate, as said in paragraph 7 of the article.
Yes, the fantasy of having a completely driverless car seems like a good idea for drivers, and teen drivers such as myself, but this could result in people revolting against the safe regulations required when you're required to follow when behind that wheel. Why wouldn't anyone want a driverless car that still needs a driver? Wouldn't they get bored waiting for their turn to drive? No, they wouldn't they still need to take caution to the road and be prepared to break, turn, and accelerate just incase the computer doesn't do it for them! Once you're behind the wheel, even if that car you're in drives itself, you still are in control and your hand still need to be on that wheel! | 4 |
e5c6f04 | The fact that this tecnoligy is avalible to human kind is amizing it can be used in many ways. The passage says that "to an expert faces dont lie these muscle clues are sometime used to spot when a smiling polotition or celebirty isn't being truthfull "its amazing isn't it all we have to do is take a picture and voala we know what the choice is because if he is being truethfull we can say yes he fits but if he is lying we know that we have to make a better choice that just vote on him right of way .
Can you emagine being able to use this like for more than just polotitions like maybe the presedent or a school teacher a dilinquent or maybe even a spouse. this would bring alot of contriversy yes but it is stil amazing because they wont have to do much just snap a picture and thee program will caulculate it think about how many crimes this will solve .
In conclusion this invention is revolutionary program will have a huge inpact in every social aspect. The world wont be the same every thing will be diffrent because we will now what the presedent is really thinking and when he is lying or when he is scared and then we can better protect our selves . | 2 |
e5c857d | Driveless Cars can be good and bad to anyone. It all just depends on the person. Whether they think the car is good or not.
In my opion the idea of Driverless Cars is a good idea. It is a good idea because in the article it says that the drivers will get an alert to when they have to take control over the wheel. In paragraph 5 it states "Special touch sensors make sure the drivers keep hold of the wheel." The car isnt dangerous or anything. The car will be safe and smart. In paragraph 2 it says that "Their cars have driven more than half a million miles without a crash." maybe we could reduce the amount of car crashes per year.
Yes , there is some negative results but what are the chances? People want a safer car and about half of the world will accept the Driverless Cars. It has more positives results than negative. "Sensing the World"? the cars have sensors that detect a problem around the car. In this article it said that sensors arent new. Sensors should be a problem to the people since they have been out. Also in the article it says " The information from the sensors can cause the car to apply brakes on individual wheels and reduce power from the engine, allowing far better response and control than a human driver could manage alone." This statement means that the car is safe for drivers. Not just for the drivers but for the car too. It would be a great improvemnt.
This is why i accept the Driverless Cars. It is a good plan on the future and to people that text while driving. Not only will we have a safer world but we will also have people safe in the cars. | 3 |
e5cf186 | Luke was working when his friend Don Reist said if he wanted to go europe on a cattle boat. Luke said it was an opportunity of a lifetime. So he didnt give up the chance to go with him. The reasons you should go is that you can see new places that you have most likely never seen before or have never visited before. You will have an experience of how to take care horses,young cows,and mules that would be shipped from place to place.
But along the way you'll find out what it feels like to take care these animals like as if you were on a farm because these are animals that would be on a farm. Besides you could try new food that you could have never tried in your life. You could have a chance to meet new people. Also while in that place you could experience what their culture is and also what they do in that culture. The only places you would go to though would be italy,china,new orleans,and greece.
So on your way these are the places you could explore and visit for a while. So these are the reasons I think you should take the chance to become a seagoing cowboy if you ever got the opportunity to become one. | 2 |
e5d23e9 | The surface of Mars is a great mystery to human kind, but the Face on Mars is just a coincidental human face resembling landform. The Face may resemble a human face, but there are also many other things that humans think are faces. One of these landforms that may look like a face is the face on the moon and even clouds can resemble faces. Therefore I believe that the Face of Mars is just a natural landform.
Although it may appear as a face to many people created by aliens, there has been no scientific proof that aliens exist. It's obvious that the Face on Mars is a peninsula or hill landform that may happen to look like a human face. If there was a peninsula or hill landform on Earth that happened to appear as a face, would everyone jump to the assumption of aliens? Then again there is no scientific evidence that aliens don't exist, but aliens are just made up science fiction creatures that people have come to believe are real.
Therefore the Face on Mars is just a peninsula or hill landform that coincidentally happens to appear as a human face. Just because it happens to look like a humans face and its in outer space people jump to the assumption that aliens are the reason behind the Face on Mars. The entire idea of aliens is just a joke humans made up to scare other humans. In conclusion, that is why I believe the Face on Mars is just a natural landform that happens to resemble a human face. | 3 |
e5d2529 | No matter wich candidate has the most votes The Electoral College holds the final decission. Even though this makes it unfair to our voters this is a secure way of choosing the next president. Sometimes we are not smart enough to pick the right candidate ourselves. I believe that we should rely on the Electoral College. It is there to make sure that we do not get a president that might over rule and it also avoids run-off elections.
The Electoral College reduces the chance of getting a president that might have intentions of over powering. For instance in Cuba, nothing like The Electoral College exists which is why Fidel Castro is still in charge and does not give the citizens freedom. Although he may not be in full charge, he still rules through his brother. But because of him they have poor food supply, barely any money, shelter is weak, and food is scares. With the Electoral College this would be less likely to happen because the electors process everything before making the final decision. Like stated in Source number three "voters in toss-up states are more likely to pay close attention to the campaign-to really listen to the competing candidates".
"Candidates may have won the popular vote but not won the presidency" says source two. This makes it unfair to voters. On top of that, The Electoral College avoids Run-off elections. "Avoids the problem of elections in which no candidate receives a majority of the votes cast" says Source three. Nixon and Clinton for example had fourty-three percent of the popular votes. For a candidate who can not run their state The Electoral College may turn off voters. When candidates seem to be tied or are about to be tied it complecates the process and so it is reduced by The Electoral College.
I support The Electoral College becuase of the reduced chance of getting a president with over powering intentions and it avoids run-off elections. | 3 |
e5d4c5d | In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile," the author describes how a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System. He goes on the explain that this system enables computers to identify human emotions and that in can be valuable in the classrom. This system is not valuable in the classroom because, it is an invasion of privacy, computers aren't always right, and it will cost the school corporation a lot of money.
This system is not valuable in the classrom because it is an invasion of privacy. In the article it states that, "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored". That sounds good, but what the article is saying is that a computer is always analyzing the students face, and it does not say where the data goes. Also the computer could not be very well protected and a hacker looking to steal data could hack into the computer camera and steal the students idenitiy. Finally, what if the student doesn't like the system? Is he forced to use it or does he get a choice, the article does not state on whether or not there is any consent to this.
This system is not valuable in the classroom because computers aren't always right. Computers are not human, you can not program a computer to have empathy or any human emotion. So you can not program a computer to read a humans face and accurately tell them their emotion. Also computer programs tend to have a lot of bugs in them, so this system could have a few hidden bugs that could make the system broken and unusable. Finally, the article states that, "Your home PC can't handle the complex algorithms...", so what kind of computers are students going to use that are capable to run the system?
This system is not valuable in the classroom because it will cost the school corporation a lot of money. Like in the last paragraph, the school would need advance computers to run this system. The article does not state if this system will cost money or not, but if it does it will most likely be a ton of money. Most school corporations can barely afford new computers to keep up with present programs, so what makes this high-tech program any different? The school corporations would have to set up a lot of fundraisers and make a bunch of cuts in their annual budget. In the end they might have to let a few teachers go because they could not afford them anymore.
This system is not valuable in the classroom because. it is an invasion of privacy, computers aren't always right, and it will cost the school corporation a lot of money. Most people like what is coming up in the future, but we have to start thinking about if what we are doing and creating will help us better, or hurt us. | 5 |
e5d8f53 | I don't think driverless cars are really that important. It's interesting, and would be cool but not important. I believe a lot of people would buy them. The purpose of driving is supposed to be exciting for you, instead they're driving for you. All together they're not important, dangerous, could cause accidents, but could be interesting.
Driverless cars are not important, I believe that just driving regularly is better that the car doing it for you. There are still cars that people could drive just fine. I don't see why people would want their car to drive for them.
Driverless cars could cause accidents. I think if a careless teen would be driving it, they could think that car would be doing all the work. They would think that they don't need to focus. There are already problems with texting a driving, imagine if they thought they could text because the car is doing all the work. In the article it says that the car needs you to be alert at all times incase they come across work zones. I think that could cause accidents.
I believe that many people are careless drivers. People could get used to the idea of the car taking care of everything, in the article it says that the car can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves. Which could cause people to do things they could never do if they had to pay attention at all times. Someone could be paying attention to other things in the car instead of steering and cause an accident.
The thought of driverless cars is very interesting, I would be more accepting of them if I knew they were safe, and no one would get hurt. Someone who's been driving for a long time, I think would be more interested in it. New drivers who aren't used to driving would probably want to drive by themselves. I think the driverless car could be very useful to people who take trips that are far, and need to relax.
Overall, I think the driverless car isn't important, dangerous, could cause accidents, but could be interesting. I personally wouldn't want one, but others might be very interested. It could cause accidents to happen, especially if the driver is careless. It is an interesting invention though, the idea of having a car drive for you is cool. But I don't think it's worth the risk. | 3 |
e5e24da | In the real world of today, many people crave for the technologies of the future and one of those technologies are driverless cars. Humans have always looked to the future where cars would one day be able save us in more accidents. We also want cars to use less fuel and could be able to drive us anywhere. However, we never truly look on at what it takes to build a driverless car, until we do. However, not only do driverless cars take time to make, once driverless cars are complete, there is more responsiblity that comes with the product. Driverless cars a great thing for our future because the cars can save us in moments where humans can fail, each of them will use less fuel, and drive us anywhere.
Even today, there are driverless cars andregular cars present the ability so prevent accidents to some extent. In each of today's cars, there are sensors and other gadgets that send information to the car's computer. Processing this information, cars can apply brakes to certain tires and cut the engine in faster time than humans could, if the time ever came up for it. One such car, Google's modified Toyota Prius runs such sensors, video cameras, and gps recievers to run driverless car software.
Another reason, driverless cars will help the gas prices lower all around the world. Gas prices constantly rise as more demand for it arises and the supply of it lowers. The driverless cars of the future will need as less as half the amount of fuel or lower. With cars needing less fuel, the prices will lower due to it being affordable to give to everyone. And with more fuel, cars can travel farther and to more places.
With this in mind, the driverless cars of the future will drive humans to any place needed. Some may think it impossible, but Google cofounder Sergey Brin belives otherwise. He believes the cars in the future could be used as a public transportation system, with fleets of driverless cars as public-transport taxis. He believes it can be great.
However, for a driveless car to be the greatest it can be, it first has to be driverless. The driverless cars that are currently existing today cannot claim the title of driverless. Each car will drive to the destination as required but will alert the human to stay awake and alert such that one can take over the car when nearing accidents or work zones. So that raises the question, how can we make this car truly driverless?
The technology and cars of today are not driverless yet but in time they could be. These future cars will drive humans to any destination without human assistance. Each car will run on less fuel, effectively lowering gas prices. And with its software, the car and the human will witness less accidents. Due to special software, the cars will prevent accidents,burn less fuel, and drive to any destination. | 4 |
e5e3801 | Electoral College is the way American people get to chose who they want to represent their state or country. Why get rid of a system that has few flaws and gives people a since of picking their people? Electoral College should be kept because gives candiates a fair chance and lets everyone pick a representator.
To begin, electoral college gives candiates a fair chance. In source 3 it states " The Electoral College requires a presidential candidate to have trans-regional appeal. No region has enough electroal votes to elect a president. This is a desirable result because a candidate with only regional appeal is unlikely to be a successful president." This expalins that even if only a candidate only represent one region of the country electoral college can still give them a chance to win presidency. In source 1 it states " Each candidate running for President in your state has his or her own group of electors." This means electoral college gives a candidate a group of supporters to help him or her win a election.
Futhermore, electoral college gives the people a right to pick a representator. In source 1 it states " The founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens". Everyone who is a United States citizen has the right to vote for who they want for representation for each state. In source 3 it states " Voters in toss-up states are more likely to pay close attention to the campaign to really listen to the competing candidates knowing that they are going to decide the election. They are likely to be the most thoughtful voters, on average, and the most thoughtful voters should be the ones to decide the election". Thoughtful votes or people who just vote because everyone else is doing it doesnt matter. Everyone could vote for anyone with electoral college.
"Its official: The electroal college is unfair, outdated, and irrational. The best arguements in favor of it are mostly assertions without much basis in reality. And the arguements against direct elections are spurious at best. It's hard to say this, but Bob Dole was right: Abolish the electoral college". I disagree with this statement because the electoral college gives candiates a fair chance to win electons and the people get to pick who they want to represent their states.
In conclusion, electoral college should be kept because it gives candidates a fair chance and allows the people to pick who they want to represent them. | 4 |
e5e6810 | In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" There are many statements showing the reader that It is very dangerous on Venus and that it would be extremely difficult to land on the planet and succesfully stay safe while explore Venus. Not only are there negatives in the text about Exploring Venus, but there are also points on why it is a good idea to explore the planet.
One point that was provided by the text was that Venus is the closest planet to earth in terms of density and size, and sometimes distance too. This information might catch scientists attention as we are looking for more planets to live on. However the harsh weather on Venus might stop us from daydreaming about that idea. It was said that Venus has the hottest surface temperature and that Venusian geology and weather provide erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequest lightning strikes. Specifically to probes seeking to land on its surface.
As said before, Venus may very well have been a planet just like earth a while back. possibly covered in large amounts of water and home to life. In the text it was stated that Venus could our nearest option for a planetary visit, but, once again, Venus provides many reasons for us to stay put on earth. We have sent multiple spacecrafts to venus and none have survived. Very few of these spacecrafts didn't
even last more than a few hours. Not only that but Venus has a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide.
The author provided good points to spark a thought in the readers mind that we should put more effort and time into exploring Venus, but the counter evidence sort of blows it out of the park. It could depend on how the reader sees the world. If they are optimistic then they might find hope for exploring Venus. If not optimisic and relys on the risks and evidence shown to prove it is a bad idea, they might not. However the author provided tons of facts that would inform and educate the reader on this topic. | 3 |
e5e911d | The author suggest that studying venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. The resaon is we have to find out things about the planet venus. It's important to know what is going on with this planet. The planet could have things on it that we could use.
If we need to find certain things to learn about the planet we have to go there. Also this isnt a safe trip to be going on. It's been three decades sense someones went to venus. a example of thing we could use is resourecs from they planet venus.
We could get sediments from the planet to study it. also its good to know what is happening to venus to have data. evan tho their are risks we have to know for alot of reasons. many researcers are working on innovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowledgeof venus. This is the evidence from they author that studying venus is a worthy pursuit.
By studying venus there is alot of positives and one bad thing is you could die.
my claim is that it would be worth the trip for all the data. my evidence is that studying venus for things like simplified electrons and more.
The planet is the hottest planet of them all. we have to creat innovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowledge of venus. | 2 |
