1cf05de | The FACS should not be used in the classroom. FACS can in fact help with the problem students are facing in the classes but to replace a real live teacher with a AI is just down right stupid.
We shouldn't have FACS in class rooms because the things that a teacher does such as teach, decipline, help, and believe with their students makes a huge difference in how we learn. Just like taking istep mathmatics on a computer is a stupid idea.
A part from the passage when it talks about having FACS in the class rooms was in passsage 6; it reads "A classroom computer could reconize when a student is becoming confused or bored." The key work in that sentence is could. Not one-hundred percent of the time are you going to get the right expression outcome from the system or student! If the system does conclude that a student bored and he or she is not and the teacher goes to address that student, that could be bad for both parties.
Another reason why I think they shouldn't put the system in schools is becuae they didn't put a lot of emotion on there. They coded it with six BASIC emotinos: happiness, suprise, andger, disgust, fear, and sadness. Yes those are the basic emotions but what if that's not the emotion were trying to put out.
It's not as valuable as it might sound to have in a classroom, in fact, its quite pointless. Reguardless, if we do get an FACS in the shools a lot of people are going to be whinning and pouting about them replacing our REAL LIVE teachers.Having FACS in schools is a waste of time money and possibly another distraction for students do deal with in the classtooms. | 3 |
1cf2302 | Freedom to chose our leader is nothing more than an illusion. Voters have absolutely no saying in who shall take their place on the presidential seat. This is what the Electoral College does. It is an archaic system and unreliable system in which the whole of the presidential election is decided by the bias of the few whom are "pledged" to a certain party but at the end can choose whover the like the most. This is not the Democracy we so dearly hold in our hearts like Americans and it goes well against the principles our forefathers taught us as free pople. Undeniably the Electoral College negates any concept of the demcracy of America, making the impotance of the will of the people meaningless and nothing more than an illusion.
Deep into our history is the recaunting of how such a terrible system as the Electoral College came to be. It was originally a setllement on the dispute of how the president should be ellected, either by the people or by Congress. Now the first option would have been the perfect one, but there are always those who would firts dei to loose their power to the pople of our contry. And the clash of interrest was so large it could have broken the nation in two as we have seen happened a few times in hidstory. As such a great many years have pased since this whole argument and at every election poeple are realizing the faults of this flawed concept. At its core the system is
Old and
Useless . It is the most anti-democratic idea ever to have been in practice abd one that still is in use. It overpowers the will of millions whith the will of a few hundred. That is why such a monster should be abolished.
The year is 2000. Al Gore and George W. Bush clash for the seat in the white house. The election draws to an end and the votes are counted. There is a clear dicrepancy in the votes, making Al Gore the winner, and by all means, the next president of the United States of America. But somewhere else there's also a clear discrpancy. Back at the Electoral College the counting says Bush won against Al Gore even though Al had already won the poeple of America. On that election 5 pople choose the fate of an entire nation. 5 people only. Such a thing is outrageous, and we are lucky it hasn't happened again nor more frequently. But thing is it shouldn't happen at all. That's ehy the POEPLE should choose insted of 538 what's-their-faces. This endevour proves one thing and one thing only.
Unreliability . It is illogical that one wins the masses of the common citizens but looses because of five well dressed ones.
The Electoral College is a monster. A wild dice which at one moment can favor you and at the next one destroy you. This isn't how America works. Nor is it how Am | 4 |
1cf3716 | I think that the use of this technology in a classroom environment would be a great thing. Some students have a disconnect to certain teaching styles while other students thrive with the same teaching style their teacher is using. All students would get an approach stylized to them if this system was used because the computer could read the facial expressions of two seperate children and either edit the information they are seeing to be more likable by one student but for the other student their could be no change at all if they show no signs of boredom or disinterest.
In paragraph six the author of "Making Mona Lisa Smile" backs this up when he says "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becomin confused or bored, then ith could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." It would be like having an effective human instructor for each child by planning the lessons around each child individually and showing, telling, or reading them the information in helpful and creative ways that effect each child.
Each child learns in different way and no two childrens learning patterns are the same. If each child had a separate lesson plan each day, trained towards their specific way of learning then we would not see as many children failing classes or dropping out of school due to poor classroom environments. If this technology was added into classrooms across the world each student in each classroom would get their own stylized approach to learning that will help them the most rather than sitting in lecture halls tuning out the lecture or presentation because they are thinking about going outside and throwing around a baseball or a frisbee, with this technology that same student could get a presentation that relates the information to throwing a frisbbe or baseball and would then become more focused because they are being taught the information in an effective and meaningful way to them. | 3 |
1cf4ea5 | If it was an object created by aliens then why would they turn that landform into a human face. There have never been any reports of someone coming close to an alien face to face. Also how would the aliens know what humans look like, they have never even been to earth before. All that face is, is a rock with shadows from the sun to make illusions to the human eye.
The face was used in grocery store checkout lines for 25 years! Yes, you may think think aliens did it and there is a chance they did, but that chance is very slim. yes, some scientist did believe it was an alien artifact but that was before they had HD cameras and now we can see the rock clearly. Garvin said that "If there were objects in that picture like airplanes on the ground or egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see what they were".
In conclusion, there is no evidence that aliens have created that face and if there was, NASA would do all that it could to prove it a farce. Do not believe everyhting you see online or in books. You might just become too attatched to that topic. | 2 |
1cf90a1 | Using Facial Action Coding System will make changes around the world. Predicting what anothers person emotion towards you or somene else is very important to communicate, otherwise there will be confusion.
Setting up this new system of facial recongnition would be a huge step through technology as we know it. This sysem alllows computers or other devies to be more safisticated and secure for their user or owner. Why just use your face as the password when you can use any emmotion your feeling. It wont just aids adults it will also aid underage teens or elementary kids. As for an example in the text it of Making Mona Lisa Smile 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."The same technology can make computer-animated faces more expressive-for video games or video sugery." Most human communication is nonverbal,including emotional communication."notes Dr.Huang."SO computers need to undersant that too. This is saying that kids and gaming companies will also benefit for them. In the Facial Action Coding System it predicts emotion and a big one is hate and to second we have lies. In the text Making Mona Lisa Smile. " it states that " In a false smile , the mouth is stretched sideways using the zygomatic major and a difrrent muscle, the risouris.To an expert,faces dont lie;thses muscles clues are sometimes used to spot when a smiling pollitcian or celebrity isnt being truthful." All this shows is how corrupted the govermnet really is.
In conclusion, Using the Facial Action Coding System it is the for most advanced piece of technology that will secure and protect your money, idntity and most importanly , life. | 2 |
1cfab57 | Dear State Senator,
It has recently come to my attetnion as I study our states voting system, that we as Americans do not have enough word in who we have as our leader. In a plethora amount of documents from the United States, and our Consitution it states all men are creted equal, when in all relaity we are allowing the Electoral College have more say in who our president rather than we do. Not only does the Electoral College have more say in our President, but it alllows the President to only go to states that they feel is nessisary to go to get the vote. It also gives less say to the smaller states making the people there feel there vote doesnt count, allowing them to vote for any party. If we change our voting system we can vote for our leader rather than us voting for the slate of electors, and have the most popular leader of our country be our president.
The first reason i feel we should overthrow the Electoral College is becasue it is discriminating states votes based on there sizes. In the article,"Does the Electoral College Work", it states that becasue of the diffrent sizes of our states some people feel they do not get a fair say in who makes decisions for our country. They feel that because they dont live in a big state like Texas they do not have equal say in the decisions our country makes. In the article Plumer wrote, " In the same vein, faithless electors have pccasionally refused to vote for their party's canidate and cast a deciding vote for whoever they please...". The Electoral College is changing peoples mind set on how to vote because they feel why should we care if the government does not, can you blame them? If we just took out the simple problem of the Electoral College more voters will vote honestly rather then go with everyone elses vote.
Another reason i feel we should favor the popular vothing system is because this would show that the soon to be presidents should vist all of there voters rather then the ones they know they will probably win. "Because of the winner-takes-all system in each state, canidates don't spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning, focusing only on the tight race in the "swing" states." What the author is saying here is the canidates dont give equal chances to the states to here what they,the canidates, have to say. For example if a democrate is going to states he would most likley avoid the ones full of republicans because he feels he has no chance and does not spend the money. But, if we get majority votes this will allow every indvividual to vote rather a group of republicans. Not only does this allow a better chance of winning for that democrate it allows the voters to feel like they can change there minds because they have a say. This will contribute to the conidates because they can now get there point across to more, rather then to select little groups.
The final reason we should get rid of this system is because at this point in time we are not even vothing for our presidents we are voting for people who vote for us. What i mean is "Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but the slate of electors, who in turn elect the president." Americans have always wanted to be in power and have a say in what we do but in the case of voting we do not. By doing this we are allowing the government to make all of the decisions for us, as if we were children. When you turn to the legal age for vothing your vote should count. With this majority does not rule, for instance say our votes of 46 percent and 54 percent were to come in. The man of the 46 percent still has a chance of winning when the people had already voted. The problem with that is at that point the peoples word goes out the window, and the government once again jumps in demanding that they choose.
As we learn more about this topic we realize how rediculious this situation is. Obviously, going with popular vote is the best solution because we will finally be what everyone has been trying to do for decades, be equal. Sir, i hope you understand my årgument and really take into concideration what i have said. Our presidents make decisions for us everyday, dont you think its time me get to make one for ourselves?
Sincerly,

1cfb413 | Do you think driverless cars are safe?. Because I dont I feel that theres to much technology put into the cars. I feel like the speeds are going to be to fast for the car to control its self. And if there may have been a crash there would be alot of fighting over whos fault it was the cars or the drivers.
These new driverless cars will be relly updated with the newest technology.But lately technology has been having alot of back fires. These cars are going to need signal every where what if your going on a road trip and you lose singal will your car stop working?. What if your going at a very fast spped and your car just shut down on you your probably going to flip over crash or something and that not safe at all. that somethin these developers should think about.
When your car is going at a low spped its easy to control. its so easy that you barley have to guide the wheel. But when your going super face you have to make sure that your stearing the wheel very good because if u lose control you will be in a very bad accident." The car can handle functions at speed up to 25mph" see these cars can only drive 25 mph because its easy to control and take action if something where to happen. say road work ahead someone driving fast but when they update it and make them go faster its going to be harder to take action when it time to.
Say your driverless car is drivng and it loses signal and someone was crossing the street and you couldnt stop right away and you hit them whos fault is it. Is it your or the cars will you get introuble or will the factory who made it get introuble?. Thats a tough one huh. "but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents" what if yoour not paying attention an your car warnes you a lil to late. You cant stop right away then your going to be apart of that accident as well.
And this is why I think that driverless cars are
dangerous. Theres to many things that can go wrong and I just wouldnt want to hear about a family who lost someone to a car who technology went wrong. And then the person who was driving being charged withe murder or something because of a car that had bad technology. | 3 |
1d031f0 | Venus is the second planet in the solar system from the sun that precedes Earth in the planetary order. This planet is often called Earth's "twin" and the "Evening Star" of the universe because of its brightness and relative similarity to the Earth. In the article, "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author presents facts and figures that one could use to determine whether studying Venus would be an advantageous pursuit even though it would not be very safe. The author focuses more on the drawbacks of exploring Venus, hence the title of this work. The author does not strongly support the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit due to his extensive reasearch on its toxic living conditions but does acknowledge the benefits of its accessibility from Earth.
Compared to Earth, the author has found that Venus in less less survivable for humans. In the early years of space industry, numerous spacecraft have embarked on missions to the planet, but they were not able to return home. Unlike Earth, Venus has an atmosphere that is "almost 97percent carbon dioxide" with a surface temperature averaging "over 800 degrees Fahrenheit" and an "atmospheric pressure [that] is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet"(Paragraph 3). Due to these extreme differences in temperature, pressure, and air content, Venus would be fairly inhospitable for humans. Usually when NASA launches missions to other planets they are trying to find alternatives habitats for the human race in the event that they cannot survive on Earth. If humans will not be able to withstand the conditions of Venus it is no longer a good option; therefore, it is not worth looking into since the author provides evidence that Venus would not be a useful living environment in the future.
However, the author has also found that studying Venus could be beneficial considering its proximity and similar geographical features to Earth. The Earth comes right after Venus in the solar system, making it fairly close given the long time frame of space travel. Astronomers have discovered that it was also previoulsly one of the "most Earth-like [planets]" as it "was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life" (Paragraph 4). Venus also "has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters" (Paragraph 4). In the event that Venus became a viable option for humans to inhabit when Earth collapses (as mentioned earlier), humans would have already been exposed to some of the landscape there. Although this would make Venus more assimilable, its similarity to Earth does not outweigh the dangers that still come with the planet being an unknown land changing from its previous state. With this evidence the author provides an advantage to exploring Venus, but it does not hold up against the established points about Venus' overall uninhabitability.
Throughtout the article, "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author presents infomation for exploring Venus being both beneficial and harmful, but he elaborates more on the reasons pointing to the dangers that Venus poses. Compared to current conditions of Earth, Venus does not possess the necessary qualities that would make it a valuable reserve for potentially sustaining human life forms. The author is better able to address the disadvantages of studying Venus because of the extensive research revealing the planet's present volatile state instead of benefits from its similarity to Earth. Therefore, the author fails to thoroughly prove Venus' worthiness of exploration. | 5 |
1d0a8db | The planet of Venus is considered to be a danger to humans given the conditions it is in. In the article " The Challenge of Exploring Venus", the author suggests that depsite the dangers presented by Venus, it would be a worthy pursuit to study the planet. The author helpfully establishes multiple key pieces of evidence supporting this claim such as Venus may have once been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system, Venus is the nearest option for a planetary visit, and trying to get to Venus is considered a challenge that could help humans prepare for even more extremely challenging environments.
In paragraph two, the author states "Often refered to as Earth's "twin," Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest distance too." This quote, along with this quote, "Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth." showcase exactly how alike Venus may have been to Earth. This could be helpful in studying the possibilities of what may eventually happen to planet Earth.
Not many planets are as close to Earth as Venus is and that is a crucial point when the amount of time space travel can take is taken into consideration. Humans have accomplished and gained much knowledge about space travel since the race to space began. Scientists' have meticulously studied everything they could learn about space and can even estimate how much time it would take to travel to different places in space. This is crucial when you take into consideration how much time, effort, and money goes into space travel. With Venus being so close to the Earth, and all those factors taken into consideration, it seems to be an obvious and intelligent choice to make that humans should not give up on travelling and studying Venus. More than anything, it would be a wasted opportunity.
While the idea of being able to study Venus seems daunting, perhaps it is only the lack of courage that is holding NASA back from doing it. Curiosity is a natural thing that all humans are born with, and it never goes away. This is relevant because with curiosity, the gain of knowledge can go hand in hand with it. Without curiosity, not even half of the things humans have done and developed would be possible. Shying away from Venus is doing more harm than good, and it will only serve to produce hesitancy at the sight of any challege.
The author of the Article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," brings up many key points of evidence as to why Venus should be explored and studied, despite the dangers of it. Among those are, it is the closest planet to Earth relatively speaking, Venus is the closest distance, and the study of the planet Venus brings up a unique challenge to the human race that backing down from would be detrimental. All of the key points supports the author's idea that studying venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers. | 5 |
1d106d5 | Countries and cities all across the world are joining in on the "no car" trend, and it seems to be no passing fad. From Germany, to France, to Columbia, to the United States, everybody is trying to start drving less for a cleaner, happier world. Countries' governments everywhere are trying to get people off the roads and start biking, walking, or using public transportation instead. As the people in these countries have learned, there are many advantages to giving up drving cars, if even only for a few days rather than their entire lives.
The main advantage is a cleaner planet. Emissions that cars release play a large role in the world's air pollution. Carbon emissions create smog that makes the sky grey, damages our lungs, and harms the plants that give us clean air. Due to carbon emissions from cars, Paris once had as much smog as "Beijjing, China, which is known as one of the most polluted cities in the world" (Source 2). If we start driving less cars it will have really beneficial implications for the environment, especially "... since transportation is the second largest source of America's emissions, just behind power plants" (Source 4). Imagine what positive effects banning cars would have on the population's and world's health.
One positive effect would be a lot less stress. Driving is a dangerous activity where you are constantly putting yourself at risk. Many people realize this and tend to be scared of driving or are constantly nervous when they drive. Rushing to drive to work on time also creates negative stress. Says German media trainer and mother, Heidrun Walter, of no longer owning a car, "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." Daily long commutes are also a large determining factor in someone's mood. Some people have to drive for hours a day just to get to their already stressful job and then again when they go back home. This creates for a very unhappy society. Now there are a couple of good things that come from a society that is no longer obsessed with car culture. One thing is that "the Internet makes telecommuting possible and allows people to feel more connected without driving to meet friends" (Source 4). This lessens the need have a car to take you to distant places. With the banning or lessening use of personal vehicles cities and towns are being rebuilt. "In this new approach, stores are placed a walk away, on a main street, rather than in malls along some distant highway" (Source 1). This has encouraged healthier and cheaper modes of transportation such as walking, skating, bicycling, and public transportation such as buses.
Fewer cars and this rebuilding of cities saves you money and commute time. Just think about all those rising gas prices. You don't need to pay tolls when you walk, or get fined when you run too fast. Prices for parking spots and passing tolls are going up anyway. It's an easier and cheaper alternative to just walk or bike somewhere. Public transportation like buses and subways cost a lot less too. Studies have found that fewer people are buying cars and getting their licenses; it's for a reason.
Lastly, not only are leaders across the globe joining in on the idea of life without cars, but so are car-selling companies. "Companies like Ford and Mercedes are already rebranding themeselves "mobility" companies with a broader product range beyond the personal vehicle" (Source 4). Even Bill Ford, executive chariman of the Ford Motor Company proposed a business plan in which "personal vehicle ownership is impractical or undesirable." Ford suggested becoming partners with the telecommunications industry to create cities in which "pedestrian, bicycle, private cars, commercial and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emissions and improve safety" (Source 4).
So next time you think about buying a new car or driving to work all buy yourself, try to rethink your actions and imagine the effect it will have on not only you, but everyone around you. Maybe you can bike to work if it's not that far, take the bus instead, carpool with some coworkers. The planet and future generations will thank you if you just limit your car usage, even a little bit at a time. | 5 |
1d117a7 | Is it possible to explore Venus? Venus is known for having some of the harshest surface conditions of any planet in the solar system, so most would think exploring it would be impossible. That is not what the author of ¨The Challenge of Exploring Venus¨ believes. The author does not believe it will be easy to explore Venus, but does believe it is possible and worthwhile. Additionally, the author provides multiple reasons for exploring Venus with information to support them.
The author of ¨The Challenge of Exploring Venus¨ goes into great detail about the conditions and history of Venus. They explain everything from how Venus was nicknamed ¨Evening Star¨ to why it is so difficult to send probes to the surface that can function for long periods of time. They even delve into the theories that Venus was once an ocean planet, like early earth. They list some of the many natural disasters that can occur on the surface of Venus, such as earthquakes and eruptions. There are many hardships that would need to be faced in order to explore Venus, but according to this article it is not only possible but worthwhile.
The author also explains in ¨The Challenge of Exploring Venus¨ many of the possible methods that would need to be used to explore Venus safely. The author discusses many possibilites, such as having scientists float above the surface in a blimp. It may also be possible to send probes with more simplified electronics built with silicon carbide. Of course, all of these pathways would require a great deal of research, effort, and resources. So is exploring Venus even worthwhile?
The author explains many reasons for why exploring Venus is a good decision. First of all, Venus is the closest planet to Earth in the solar system. It would make sense for humanity to begin it´s exploration of space with Earth´s closest neighbor. It is also possible that Venus could have contained life at one point, since it likely once had vast oceans. Venus has a vey similar topography to Earth as well. The author supports all of these reasons with factual evidence in their article.
Exploring Venus would no doubt have many major hardhips to overcome, but the author of ¨The Challenge of Exploring Venus¨ explains perfectly why it is worth the effort. Venus holds many secrets, and if humanity can discover them, who knows what could be possible? In their essay the author has many arguements for why Venus should be explored with factual evidence to back them up. | 4 |
1d1227a | With the future that we see and what we are bound to see ahead of us the Evolution of technology is happening and is closer than you think. The modes of transportation now are much more advanced than what they were 20 years ago. In the past we have seen vehicles that back in the day were the next big thing, but now every year that goes by a big car company shows of the latest model of a new luxurios, sport, or even a family vehicle with the newest technological features such as sensors and cameras that will warn the driver of any danger ahead or behind the vehicle.
Many people have only dreampt of seeing the future of transportaion as driverless and inexpensive such as Google cofounder Sergey Brin who believes that this would fundamentally change the world. Google has indeed made cars that have driven independently, but are still under development. Sebastian Thrun, cofounder of the Google Car project believes that technology has finally begun to catch up to the dream of driverless, safe, and advanced car technologies.
With futuristic technology advancements in vehicles such as the Google modified Toyota Prius that uses position-estimating sensors, mounted video cameras, automotive radar sensors, a GPS reciever, and an internal motion sensor we can only imagine what we will see in the near future. Antilock brakes, and motion sensors have been around for quite some time, since the 1980s, but further improvements in sensors and in computer hardware and software are what is leading in making driving safer and allowing driverless vehicles to do more driving tasks on their own.
Antilock brakes and driver assistance isnt quite the driverless vehicles we dream of but it is one step closer to achieving that dream. BMW has been developing "Traffic Jam Assistant" which with special touch sensors the vehicle makes sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel. Many cars can steer, accelerate, and brake by themselves, but all still need human skills in areas such as work zones and around accidents.
The future is near and much closer than anyone has imagined with technological advancements in transportaion technology and newer vehicles being under development with much more advanced tech. By 2020 Mercedes Benz, Audi, and Nissan plan to have cars that will be driverless and independent. What we see now is just a glimps of what we will see in the future. | 3 |
1d12e5e | I believe that driverless cars should not continue to be developed. Like all technology, its malfunctions can be unexpected. Also, driverless cars can not be 100% reliable. Finally, some parts of the driverless cars can be very distracting.
All technology has its malfunctions, so what makes these cars different from that? At any given point, a driver could be just going down the street, and have a malfunction and start swerving all over the road. If that happened, it could be fatal for some people involved. "their cars have driven more than half a million miles with out a crash" but does that mean that atfter that half a million miles , it crashed?
The cars are not 100% reliable as to their preciseness. The cars would use GPS to get the driverwhere they want to go. But what happens when the GPS is out of date and they have a road under construction and the car just goes straight into that construction without a clue. The driverless cars cannot be relied on just by themselves.
There have to be alot of new features in these cars, like cameras and touchscreen dashboards etc. The cars are designed to notify the driver when the car might not be able to handle whats coming up, so what happens when the car notifies the person and they start driving, and some of the features distract them? Thats a bad combination. So with all the new features, the cars can be made 100000% more dangerous to the drivers and the people around them.
In conclusion, they cars are not suited to ever be on the streets. The driverless cars can become unresponsive and spaz out, distract drivers, or even be unreliable with navagation. So in my opinion, we should not let the driverless cars keep being produced and tested. | 3 |
1d14e6c | I am going to argue for the value of having the Facial Action Coding System in the computers. I think it would be great to have something like this. The process beings when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of your face. They would go through all 44 of your major face muscles because in order for them to work they must move like human muscles. Dr. Paul Eckman the creator of FACS has classified 6 very important emotions then mixed them together with each with facial muscles.
Then for classrooms like to tell if the students is either bored or confused about what he or she is susposed to be doing like they said in the article. Dr. Huang also prdicted that if you are talking about how if you are happy/smiling they would pop-up an ad for you being happy but if you are sad/frowning they will pull up something totally different for the ad.
Nobodies computer can hadle the complex algortihms used to decode Mona Lisa's smile but they can come up with soemthing to decode different emotions. This coding system is very smart and can tell if you are doing a fake smile of some sort. If you use a fake smile the system will tell if you are because when you are the mouth is streched sideways using the zygomatic major wih some different muscles. To an expert they said "faces don't lie" these muscle clues are often sometimes used to spot if a celebrity or a politician is being truthful. So I have came to conclusion that this facial action coding system works on any and everyone to tell their true emotions. | 2 |
1d14fc4 | I think the facial action coding system enable computer is not good to be in the classroom because ... why would you have something in there that can be wrong i dony know why people aways think computers will always know it all because they dont.
People in this world always going off on what people say or showing them computers dont always be right , i would never go and get a computer to help me with my problems because they dont know everything plus why would you want it in the classroom anyway , someone can come steal it or anything you never now a days people is doing all types of stuff
But again i think it will be good for to be at school because when the students walks in the classroom they can just have them come to the computer and scan them to make sure they are having a good day and nothing is bothring them. Also they should check them when they come into the classroom because they probaly can be having a ruff day and just going to a hard time , but you can make them happy when they walk in the classroom ny, for example"
using the zygomatic major and different musle , the risorious ". But to be honest i really think its not a good idea because why you have a computer trying to sovle people problems when you can just have them talk to someone about it , it dont make sense to have extra stuff to help kids when its a soical worker there. They need to do something better with they money at the school instead of trying to by nonsense and bring it to the school. All tho they trying to help the children out and make them better or whatever they trying to do its not not worth paying alot of money for a mixed emotion computer when you can just send them to they soical worker .But the moral of the story is that no i would never but this comuputer its a good brand to the school and all but i would just not get one.
- but we all know i would never get one of these computers
-This is what i think of the Facial Action Coding System Computer

1d197f5 | This country is built on democracy, the idea that all of its citezens have rights and a say in how the country is run. The Electoral College takes away the peoples vote, because in an election, the eligable citezens vote for a candidate, but in reality they are voting for a group of electors who will then vote for the candidate. I believe this is unfair and that the Electoral College should be removed from the country's government.
The first flaw with the Electoral College is that voters cannot directly vote for their favorite candidate. In
Source #2 paragraph 10 , it says; "
... voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president.
" If citezens of the United States can't vote for thir own president directly then it takes some of the democracy out of the country. It rarely happens but the electors don't always vote for the candidate with the most popular vote, they can vote for whoever they want, if they really wanted to. This is just one reason I think the Electoral College should be removed, and replaced by a popular vote.
My next reason for replacing the Electoral College with a popular vote is that a tie in the Electoral College is possible. In
Source #3 paragraph 18 , it says; "
A tie in the nationwide electoral vote is possible because the total number of votes-538-is an even number...
" If a tie occurs then the vote goes to the House of Representatives, but how will they know the feelings of voters if they vote one party for Congress, and another party for president?
My final reason to get rid of the Electoral College is that a candidate can win the popular vote, but lose the election. In
Source #2 paragraph 9 , it says; "...
Al Gore- thanks to the quirks of the electoral college-won the poular vote but lost the presidency...
" If the people's favorite candidate wins the popular vote, a vote representing the country's citezens, but loses the election because of the Electoral College then the system is unfair to voters.
People supporting the Electoral College may say like in
Source #3 paragraph 19 , "
The Electoral College requires a presidential candidate to have trans-regional appeal. No region (South, Northeast, etc.) has enough electoral votes to select a president.
" But this country should be about how the people vote, a popular vote would be the same, no region would have enough eligeable voters to elect a president, so a candidate would have to campaign all over the country.
In conclusion I think the Electoral College should be replaced with a popular vote. Voters cannot directly vote for thier choice candidate, ties can occur in the Electoral College, and a candidate can win the popular vote, but somehow still lose the election. The system is unfair to voters, and this country is based on fairness and rights to all of its citezens, so why should the Electoral College get to take away people's rights? | 4 |
1d1b2ad | Seagoing cowboys program is a once in a life time opportunity you get to explore different parts of the world. If you like animals and always wanted to travel the world well this is your channce trust me hi my name is Luke Bomberger i have been to many cuntries China,italy, New Orleans,Europe,Rome italy,panama canals.
You might as well get to see more places than i did think about all the places you will get to go to. Get to explore the Atlantic ocean, the Pacific ocean. It will be like a vacation for you but way more exiting that also includes some dagerous moments i was once the noight watchman i slid down a slippery ladder on my backside. My heart raced as i shot feet first toward and opening on the side of the ship. A small strip of metal along the edge stopped me from slidding,keeping me from flying overboard into the dark antlantic ocean.
Every job has its risks but its very fun you get to see the ocean and the stars at night the moon glowing and the ocean reflecting its beutiful light. hope to see you here at the seagoing cowboy program. | 2 |
1d1b8dd | In the article, the author's main idea is that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers. In my opinion the author moderately supports his idea from the article. the author says that Venus is the most Earth-like planet form the solar system, the author refers to traveling to Venus as a "challenge", he also says that humans are coming up with ideas to surpass the radical conditions from Venus.
To begin, on paragraph 4 the author says that Venus is the most Earth-like planet, and it has alike characterisitcs with the Earth. The author says that Venus has some features that are analogous to those on earth, and includes familiar features such as valleyr, mountains, and catrers. The author gives the similarities between the Earth and Venus as one of the reasons to study Venus.
In addition, on paragrah 3 the author describes Venus like an inhospitable place for humans. In Venu's surface the temperatures average is over 800 degrees, also the atmospheric pressure is 90 time greater that the Earth's pressure. The author says that the conditions on Venus are far more radical than anything humas encounter on Earth. All those descriptions are dangers from the "pursuit of Venus" .
Finally, the Author says that humans are having ideas to protect themselves from the conditions in Venus. In paragraph 7 says that NASA is testing their devices made of silicon in a chamber to simulate the chaos of Venus's surface, and the devices have lasted for three weeks those conditions. Also, they are working to look back to mechanical computers, and they compare those computers with modern computers. They say that mechanincal computers are more resistant than modern computers. In summary, the author says that human are working on devices to face the conditions in Venus.
In conclusion, the author supported his idea that studying Venus is worthy pursuit despite the dangers with several points in the article. | 4 |
1d20cae | Many agree that driverless cars would bring many benefits to society. On the other hand, I disagree on the idea of producing driverless cars. Driverless cars will arise more problems in the upcoming future. Driverless cars could cause more accidents, if something goes wrong who could you blame the manufacturer or the driver, and it would just be pointless to drive places if you are not directing the way. Driverless cars should not be the next invention.
Accidents always happen. Even now when humans are driving vehicles, but if there is many accidents with humans driving imagine a car driving itself. A car does not have reflexes. Therefore, if an accident happens really quick and the sensors do not alert the driver like it should be then there goes another collision. Many things could go wrong with the sensors and could cause terrible accidents.
In this case who could you blame for the accidents that occur with the driverless cars? On paragraph 9, it describes safety, but there would be new laws to cover liability of an accident. The manufactures would have some fault because they invented it. It would be their fault if the sensors did not work. It also is the person driving the vehicle's fault, but not if the sensors did not warn them in time.
Technology is making people lazier and lazier by the minute. Driverless cars will continue to make society even more lazier. There is absolutely no fun in getting in a car and not driving around and just waiting for something to happen so it could be your turn to drive just like it asks on paragraph 8. It would become pointless to go through all that process of getting your permit and license if you are not driving the vehicle. It would be hard to interpret driving fun in new way with driverless cars.
Driverless cars will bring benefits in a way, but also many complications. Accidents are most likely to occur because humans are not driving the vehicle, but the vehicle itself is driving. There would be uprises on who you can actually blame since the driver was driving but the manufacturer created it. There would be no point in getting a license if you are not driving the car. Driverless cars are going to be pointless to even own if you are not driving the car yourself. | 3 |
1d21cf1 | I think driverless car would be a bad investment for car manufacturers. I think this way because driverless cars could caused more accidents, they aren't a hundred percent driverless, and you don't know that it will be efficient or not.
Driverless cars have sensors in them that apply force when there is danger but how can you be for certain that something won't block a specific necessity of the sensor and make the sensor invalid to apply force. If the sensor didn't detect a sign of danger when there was a pedistrian or wall or car in front of them. The cars sensors would not be able to automaticly brake. Some driverless cars also have cameras in them. How do we know that what the camera sees won't mistake it with a different action. The sensor on the roof updates the car with a 3-D image of its surroundings. This 3-D imaging could pick something up that is different than what it makes or it could make the thing it saw and apply force when they needn't be any.
The cars still need a little help from the humans when there is a road block, jam in traffic,work zones, or accidents. The car doesn't have the skills yet to navigate around things that can be in the way of the road or its course it was on. The driver will be alerted when the car has a difficulty and can't manage to reroute. These cars can handle only twenty-five MPH. Higher than that the driver itself will have to drive such like on a highway when you can go 60 to 70 MPH. Manufacturers have applied different kinds of alerts such as a vibrating seat, announcing itself, and another option could be flashing lights on the windshield. How do we know if those alerts will actually alert us. Everyone is difeferent and get alerted differently, how will the manufacturers know that any of these alerts will actually be affective to people.
So could driverless cars be effecient? They could in a sense, but most information about these cars and technology could be doubtful and guesses. All technology has its flaws and bugs that no one can fix. These driverless cars could mess up or brake whenever and the humans in the car would not know. Then their life would be in danger. Driverless cars have to much new technology that they can't be reliable.
Driverless cars have a lot more to work on before it's time to come out to drivers. Manufacturers should focus on accident prone cars, a hundred percent drivable, and if it will be efficient in todays society. | 4 |
1d24933 | In "The Chllenges of Exploring Venus," the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. The author uses many details from the article to back this claim up.
In paragraph 8 it says that the natural human curiosity will always lead us to discover new places even if we know theres risks. it states in the paragraph that "but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally inyimidating endevors." we will always be looking for challenges and solutions with explorations and many other things. Also in paragraph 8 it states "Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself." This proves theres valuable informations we can learn about Venus despite the risks.
Venus at one time was also the closest thing to earth. In paragraph 4 it says "Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system." this is a worthy persuit because we can discover many things like how did it lose its water, did it used to have life, what event made it unhospitable, etc. To further more go into it the author says, "Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth." Getting to know more about Venus could possibly let us know more about Earth itself.
Lastly in paragraph 5 it says even NASA has hopes of discoverying new things about mars and maybe being able to get man on another planet. tThis would be huge for mankind. It states "The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has one particular compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus." Also stating imagine a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape"
These are only ideas right now to NASA but could be a possibility to us as humans if we take risks and pursuit studying Venus despite the dangers.
To recap the author suggest that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. Theres details in the article supporting this claim. Like in paragraph 8 saying the natural human curiosity wil always push us to discover new things no matter what. Or in paragraph 4 that Venus was the most like Earth at one point of time. In paragraph 5 its an idea that we have man on Venus but that idea can be a reality in due time if we keep studying Venus. These are the details supporting the authors claim that Venus is worth pursuing despite the dangers it presents. | 4 |
1d2584d | My position on the tohught of these are is very obvious. These cars can be very helpful and useful/entertaining to our communities. Lets Say for example you are
a truck driver whom has to drive home from the truck docking location. well truck drivers work long and painful shifts so this car would be helpful because it could help him get home and he could possibly nap on the way home. Heres another example, when you and your friends want to go out and party friday night, you will always need a designated driver. You preplan where you need to go afterwards, so you cna program the car to take you to 123 apple street. so you guys wont get poulled over for DUI and go to jail. Cars like these are a life saver honestly. This car can be a pain reliever or a life saver. people will disagree with my metohds but these are full-blown facts. If you whine because you have to pay a few extra dollars for something that can help the community then there is something wrong with you. I would rather pay taxes to geto ne of these cars than pay traxes for someone to patrol our city and take drunk drivers to jail for DUI. its a better way to save money. Its fair to say that technology has almost taken over. if it wasnt for technology then we would still be living like cavemen because not one single person would invented the car or the wheel or a farm to do anything. It Is amazong what 2016 inventors have come up with. Next the will make a car that is fueled with air. Who knows? | 2 |
1d287cc | limiting car usage is no easy take considering that peoples jobs are more than a half an hour away in some cases. what we could do is replace gas cars with water or oil solarpowered cars. what we can do is replace the road with heat sensor pannels and replace the cars fuel line with eigther a solar based power syatem or used water for the fuel supply. the heat/friction sensor pannels will produce enough electrical energy to power builds, appartment complexs, houses, or even recharge a battery with in seconds.
the way we live now we can do all those things its just people dont know how to use there brain and come up a cleaner source of renewable energy. this entire project could be free and go world wide as long as everyone in the world can a agree this is perfect replacement to fossil fuels. if this document could get the th government somehow ican change the world for the better and probably save our poluted earth from destroying its self. i could fix the green house eeftect on the earth and you could clean up radio active polution by not useing gas powered cars. our erath could go back to a clean slat where there is no polution made by toxic fumes in the atmosphere and destroyed rivers and lakes. everything could be fixed by one simple thought of a childs mind. if only adults knew how to listen to there own words that they teach us with how to listen twice as muchas they speak. ifthis country has the right to freedom of speech then i think my idea isworth telling the world about. and not keeping my mouth shut. i should be speaking on air to the world not in my house being yeld at by my parents becuase what i want to nobody wants to hear. if anyone gets to read this please immediatly take to someone important that would love to here my idea. thank you. | 1 |
1d2f823 | More people should join this program because, you can travel to many different places overseas with many different animals. A couple places of those include New Orleans, and Greece. The animals you travel with get to be in a new place and get plenty of food and water on their trip.
Also your life could change big time. You an go from working one or two part time jobs to being in new countries! Thats what Luke Bomberger did, and he loves it! Best change he's made in his entire life.
You will be helping Europe regain it's food supplies, animals, and so much more! Which is why the UNRRA hired Seagoing Cowboys. So they can take care of the horses, young cows, and mules that were shipped overseas.
Joining would give you an incredible once in a lifetime oppertunity. You won't find anywhere else that lets you travel around the world on a boat with animals. Also this oppertunity is only given to certain people!
In conclusion to why more people should join the program, I think you should because you travel to many different places, your life could change completly, you'll help Europe, and joiniing this will be an amazing oppertunity and won't ever come again! So please, come join this amazing program please! | 2 |
1d31ebd | What do you think about this new technology "Facial Action Coding System"? Do you think it is useful or just throwing more and more money down the drain, why does a computer need to know how we are feeling? It seems cool but do we really know if there is a catch at all, like what if the government is just trying to find another way to watch us?
But who knows maybe there are some valuable things to come out of it, like a teacher would be able to see if there students are having a hard time on an online assignment, bored about to fall asleep, or even just having a bit of fun. It shows that they care and higher technology is coming! It is not that weird to think about actually because we can tell when somone is upset so what is the difference does that mean were weird or have something to hide?
A computer that knows when you're happy or sad that's awesome! The "Mona Lisa" is intended to bring a smile to our face, just imagine what a computer can do, if you smile into the Web cam to an ad you may just see more that may appear on your computer that make you happy or if you find a picture that makes you frown they'll make sure you won't see any similar pictures/ads.
The process all begans once the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face, all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles. That's not the last thing it also says that according to "Facial Feedback Theory of Emotion" it does't only express emotions but also may even help produce them!
Are you questioning the whole situation different now? Hopefully because it doesn't sound that bad, maybe it'll be for the better, we just have to give everything a chance. | 2 |
1d34992 | Imagine, being like Will Smith in the movie 'iRobot,' and being able to relax while your car drives for you. But then, realize, that his car ends up almost killing him. Some people may agree with self-driving cars, and some may not agree with them. Well, in my opinion, I believe that cars that can drives themselves are bad. Here is why. The cars technology can fail, they can lose signal, and they don't know who is responsible for wrecks.
In the article, it explains how these cars have a lot of high tech equipment. Well, what happens when this fails? For example, what happens when the vehicals 3-D sensor goes out and the human driver relies on this way to much? They could get in a wreck, and seriously hurt themselves, or someone else.
Secondly, in the article, it said that cars have a GPS gadet that helps them drive. Well, what happens when the GPS that helps drive the car loses it's signal? The car could get lost, start swerving, or even go off the road. With this happening, the company could get sued. The human driver could even fork out a lot of money to repair the system, or the whole car.
Finally, the article stats that if the car wrecks itself, they wouoldn't know who would be responsible. It makes sense though. If the car wrecked, it doesn't always mean it's the cars fault. The driver could be asleep, or doing something distracting. But who would know this, the car, or a human? With these cars getting involved in wrecks, who is to blame? A human who can pleade his case, or a car that can drive itself?
All in all, I don't believe that cars should be able to drive themselves. Yes, it would be nice to be like Will Smith in 'iRobot,' and not have to drive, but I believe it is to dangerous. I don't support self driving cars, because their technology can fail, they can lose their GPS driving signal, and they can't even figure out who to blame for a wreck. So, where do you stand, or should I say drive, with this new technology delemia? | 3 |
1d3853c | Technology is the biggest thing in our world today. Technology is everywhere, its in our homes, work, and school. Using technology in the classrooms has really help students. Dr. Huang has came up with a technology that helps read people's emotions by looking at their face. Using this technology in the classroom can really help students pay attention more, help them understand, and make the students have more fun in class. This technolgy would be valuable in the classroom.
Almost every student will get bored in class atleast once in their school career, and sometimes it is hard for teachers to know if their students are getting bored and not paying attention. Most schools today have computers or laptops, by using Dr. Huang's technology the teacher can use the technology to see if their students are paying attention. If the results come back good then the teacher can move on, if not the teacher might want to go back and make the lesson more fun.
School can be hard sometimes and might be hard for students to understand what the teacher is talking about. Using the technology teachers can have their students hop on a computer or laptop and see if they are understanding the lesson. Some students learn quicker than others so this would be a good way for teacher can see where all their students are at.
This technology could make school more fun. Students do not want to listen to their teacher talk all the time. So they can use this technology to help them in school. The technology can see if the student is confused, getting bored, or understanding the topic. If the student is confused the computer can make the lesson more easier, or if they are understanding it they can make the lesson more challenging. This could help students have more fun class too because they can use technology and using technology is always fun.
Dr. Huage's technology could really help students and teachers. The students would not be as bored and understand what the teacher is teaching. This could also help the teacher on how they need to teach the lesson. This technology would be valuable in the classroom. | 4 |
1d38f14 | I think that the development on driverless cars is not a good idea. I feel that if we have more driverless cars, people would be more tired in the morning time and in the evening. Many people, in the morning, drink or load up on coffee to help them stay awake while driving on the road. If we didn't have to drive our car, we wouldn't need to hydrate on these sugars, like coffee. We would all stay up every night and think since we don't have to wake up and drive in the morning , this isn't a bad idea.
In the article "Driverless Cars Are Coming", they state how humans not being behind the wheel when the car is driving is too dangerous. I agree with that statement because what if something strange were to happen, and all of a sudden the car was running out of gas and no one was there to fill it up. Are the going to then design a car that fills up gas on its own? That could put a lot of buisness's out of work. Gas stations wouldn't necesarilly be needed anymore because no one would need to stop by. Truck drivers who deliver gas in their trucks would be out of a job because no one would need the gas. They could then make the cars run on electricity, but that would mean more money toward everyones electric bill.
Another reason i beilive that humans not behind the wheel isn't safe, is that crashes would be more bound to happen. Many people do not understand that when a person is behind the wheel they are more cautious; they look out for what could or could not cause an accident. If I were to be driving and I were to notice a car without someone monitoring the steering wheel, I would be a little frightened. The car could be thinking that I am going to make a right turn, but really I am continuing straight, and the car could run right into me. Who would then have to pay for the damages? Me, or the car who was running all by itself?
The idea of how safe the driverless car is, is very hard to beilive. In the article when they mention how the brakes will be on the steering wheel, and how montiors make sure that the person driving keeps ahold of wheel, makes you want to buy the car and see how much it helps. The thing I find hard to handle is how much the price of the car will be. This smart car is only going to make our human population more lazy, and less independent. If we spend the majority of our money on a car that will only drive us where we need to go without assistence, we are wasting our money. They make many nice cars, that are very safe, and capable of getting us where we need to be, without doing it all for us.
When I think about how fast new products and developments are coming around in our world today, it makes me wonder how are we and our children later down the line going to survive in the world to come. Everything being made in today's world is turing humans into couch potatoes. We all have easy ways to deliver things to people through mobile web, and social media. The last thing our world needs is a computer programmed car to drive us wherever we want to go. We should look at our products and try and use them to make our world better and less expensive. Not to try and make our world and humans lazy, and less hard working. | 4 |
1d410d6 | In the article "The Challenge Of Exploring Venus" the author gives the readers information about venus before the author tries to make his/her claim torwards the readers. and this claim is "Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents" and with supporting this cliam there are alot of great details in the aritcle that the author uses to get his/her piont across. In the article before the author gets to his claim he/she starts off with a questions which states "If our sister planet is so inhospitable,why are scientists even discussing further visits to its sirface"(paragraph 4).This question give the readers a thought and feeling to what the author is trying to claim.
In this section of this draft theses were the best surpporting deatils to explain information about the authour claim.
In paragraph 5 the author tells readers about NASA
and this paragraph explains that NASA is trying to come up with an soultion to the conditions on surface of Venus and that would allow scientists to float above the fray. This is important because the atomsphere of venus is very strong compared to earth and mars atomsphere and that puts exploraers in danger. Also in paragraph 6 resceachers are trying to make better and improve machines that will surive on Venus. so that resacecher can get rocks, gas for the better knowledge for them to know more about venus.
The last supporting detal is thier is another project reseachers are trying to use to get more information about venus which is to use old technolgoy called " mechanical computers" these devices were frist made in the 18000s and played an important role during WW1 in the 1940s, these decives are important to the rescaechers because the computers makes calcualtions by using gears and levers and which doesnt require electronics,This is important because modern techenlogy is too strong today and is much more delicate but the machanical oarts of the old computers can be made more resistant to pressure heat and other forces on venus.
Becuase of the author cliam and deatil. Readers now the importance and struggles rescerachers go through to know more about venus. NASA should continue to study earths sister planet, also find a safer way for researchers to get on earth,for the importantce of everyones kownledge. | 3 |
1d4afd8 | In the article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" the author explains that despite all the danger trying to explore venus it will be worth it. He begins by explaining how in relation Venus is in some ways much like earth. He then goes into detail on how Venus at one point might have been much like earth. This theory is backed up by talking about the rocky terrain made by possible past oceans. The author then points out the dangerous tempatures and amout of pressure. Then backs up the statement that it is do able to get close to Venus from a distance because of the materials that are made to withstand the stresses.
The author belives the sister planet should be discovered because of the terrain and possible past. He belives that because there were oceans and variations of life, so he then compares it to earth. The authors point is that
" Furthermore, recall that Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planitary visit...". Although he belives that the conditions are too hard for humans to withstand but not, from a distance which would be amother challenge that could be solved. So the possibilities and the unknown of venus are worth the challenge.
"Many researchers are working on innovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowledge of Venus" This means many are wanting to know more about Venus and with that being said more can become possible with the success of more innovations. The challenge of Venus is so worth all challenges because knowing more about the sister planet can benifit science in ways many dont even know about yet. Things such as photographs and samples may not beable to be taken now but it all comes with the challenge of venus.
All in all knowledge about Venus will be found and many aspects of it could be figured out. The things they could take from a trip to venus could even help scientist on earth dramaticly. So if at one point Venus was like earth scientist could change the future of earth so that it does not become unlivable. Venus could have all the answers to every problem with earth. Earths future could depend on seeing our sister planet. Also opening the minds of many to the endless possibilities of the science of Earth and Venus. This is why despite all challenges persuing Venus is benificial. | 3 |
1d4f21d | The Eletoral College should stay because this has been the system that has been used for years in the united states and i dont think that it would be respectful to the ones that have been choosen by this system. Most of the people who dont like this system of voting will most likely say that we the people dont really know any thing about who we are voting and that most of us who are voting for someone are just voting for them just because we have heard good thinds about them. I'm not going to lie and say that none of the people who do get to vote are all voting because they know their stuff about the candidates, but some of us who do know about the candidates and how they are working should not lose the right to vote for who ever we would like. If we dont get to vote for who we like and believe is better then what type of country are we.
If all of the states would have same electoral vote then things would be harder because we mostly at some point will have a tie this would cause major problems but since every state has a different number it is not likely that both candidates will end up with the same number of votes. Another reason people dont like this system is because most states have a winner takes all system where they dont spilt up the elector votes if most of the votes are for one candidate then he will get all of the votes from that state. This causes lots of people to rage on the Electoral college because they feel that the state is taking there right to vote and to be different.
The other good thing about Eletoral college is that no certain region can win a election so this makes candidates campaign in states that they no they can win. This also is something that people do not like because for example when the canidates were Obama and Romney and lets say he put alot of his campaigns in new york this would cause the new yorkers who are going with Obama to get mad and start to protest because they arent see anything from Obama so they might turn to the next candidate. This actually helps because when people favor someone this makes it even harder for a tie to happen in the election.
Many of the people who are going agaist say that we are not voting for a president that we are voting for a slate of electors. This is true but if we are voting for electors that are going to vote for the president that we would like its just like voting for the president there is not difference. Some people who are going agaist Elector college use this to trick people and make them go agaist it but if you know about Elector College this wont happen.
Elector College should not be taken away in any matter because this is the easiest, best, and oldest way that we have of picking the new leaders for our country. | 3 |
1d50ef4 | On the Martian planet, a mesa is common in the region Cydonia. Which means that "The Face" is just a combination of rocks having a shadow that gives the apperence of a human face. The camera used in 1976 didnt have the sharpness of the cameras used in 1998 or in 2001. So, it would appear to be fuzzy and disoriented. As seen in the 2001 photo, "The Face" is just a mesa in the region Cydonia.
In 1976, when the Viking 1 was searching for possible landing sites, the spacecraft was not looking for any Martian ruins or ancient civilization on the planet. So the Viking 1 didnt have a high enough resolution camera to capture the true form of the landscape. When the MOC (Mars Orbiter Camera) went to Mars in
April 5,1998, the camera had taken pictures ten times sharper than the original Viking 1 photos. When scientist observed the photos, they revealed a natural landform on Mars.
Neverless, people where not satisfied with the photos, claiming that around that time of the month it gets cloudy on Mars and the alien markings were coverd by a haze. So NASA decided to prove them wrong by sending another spacecraft to Mars. On April 8, 2001, using the MOC's absolute maximum resolution, they took a picture. Each pixel in the 2001 image is 1.56 meters per pixel rather than 43 meters per pixel in the Viking's photo. "...you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size," says Jim Garvin. | 2 |
1d56a2d | - The author does support the idea very well of studying Venus is worthy of pursuit despite the dangers.
- Venus is a cloud draped planet, it is often referred as Earth's twin because Venus is the closest planet to Earth and sometimes Mars, humans sent spacecraft to Venus but unmanned because not one single spaceship has touched down in Venus in three decades, humans have to study everything about Venus because of Venus's reputation it is a very challenging planet.
- Venus was used to be the most Earth-like planet in our solar system because long ago it was covered with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth. Venus still has some features such as valleys, mountains, and craters. NASA has a compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus. Many researchers are working on innovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowledge of Venus.
- NASA is working on other approaches to studying Venus. Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiousity will likely lead us into many equally imtimidating endeavors. | 2 |
1d580b3 | The Face? Created by Aliens or just a landmark?
Did you beieve that the "Unmasking the Face on Mars" was just created by aliens. NASA has given us many reasons to believe what they say, and not many reasons for us not believe them. I am a NASA researcher and I'm telling you why the "Face" is actually just a landmark.
There are many reasons why the "Unmasking the Face on Mars" is a natural land form. The first reason is that NASA took three different pictures, one picture was in 1976 in the picture you can't really see anything. Scientists just thought it was another Matian mesa. At this time the cameras weren't very 3D like. So how do we know it's an actual face?
The seacond reason it is a landform is because NASA
sent another crew to take more pictures of the "face." The crew took ten pictures that were sharper than the first one in 1976. In this picture you start to see something appear. They even say "when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing... a natural landform. People were not very happy when they heard it wasn't a alien monument.
Another reason is that they thought alien markings were being hazed. So, when they went back it was a cloudless summer. In the text they say "Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters, compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 Viking photo. That is a huge difference from 1976. What the picture shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or messa.
If you really think about it though, how come they jumped to conclusions so fast? In the passage it says it would be a good way to engage the public to Mars. Wouldn't it just attract more people to NASA to though?
In many ways there are more reasons to why this "Face" is more of a landmark than anything. From the different years they took the years, to the landmarks being hazed. You could probably think of a lot of questions to ask NASA about the photos and what the scientists are saying, but until you go up to Mars we will only know what they are telling us. Which is that the "face" is a mesa. They clearly say many times in the passage for people to believe that they are not trying to trick you. | 4 |
1d587b8 | This article was stating that Venus is Earth's "twin." It is the closest in distance as well. Venus has many things wrong with it before anyone could ever live on it. Venus could be our nearest option for planitary visit. There is Earth like qualities but, it is very dangerious. Scientist still study this world because they know that if they could have a landing that was successful then they could finaly really start to explore the suface.
Venus is the closest planet to Earth. At times we may be closer to Mars do to the speed at wich the planets spin but we are usually closest to Venus. Many spacecraft have been sent to Venus trying to learn more of it but each time that it has been attempted, it has only been able to last a few hours before failing. Venus is a challenging planet to be studied.
Venus has many issues but there is profe that there may have once, long ago, been covered with oceans and had plenty of adaptable life on it. Today there are still some places on Venus that have Earth like features. Land forms that look the way Earth's do. There are valleys, moutains, and craders.
Though it is true that Venus is closest to us and may be the best otpion for visitation one day in the future it still has many problems. The planets surface area is an avaerage of 800 degrees Farenhheit. The atomic pressure is 90 times as much as Earth. At this point in time Venus is enhabital. There must be more reasearch allowed on Venus to find out if anyone could ever step foot on it.
Venus must be researched more to learn as much as possable if it is said that it is the most livable planet. It has many dangers, yes, but that is the vary reason it needs more attention. The more time spent on reasearching Venus the more likley that we will be able to maybe reverse the effect to make it look as it did those any a years ago when it had bodies of water and valleys. | 3 |
1d5b94f | In twenty five years there had appeared something strange on Mars , some scienctist tought it was some type of alien face it had eyes and a nose so they started thinking there could be aliens in Mars . But i personally think it's just a landform cause by many things . After a while we had shot a ten times sharper picture than the orginal one . Revealing a natural landform there was no alien monument after all . But the other scienctist still was satisdied for what he belived in but as i was telling him that if there were some type of face or alien we could have seen by the picture we had tooken just as we could see if there were objects like ariplanes on the ground or even small shacks , you could see what they were. What the picture actually shows was equivalent of a butte or messa landforms common around so there for this strange thing on Mars is nothing but a landform. | 2 |
1d5cd11 | Luke joined a group called the Seagoing Cowboys. Being a Seagoing Cowboy sounds really fun. I would LOVE to travel the world.
If I could join the Seagoing Cowboys, I think it would be really fun. It would be amazing to travel the world. It could only allow guys to join though. If it only allows guys I would not rest until they let me become a Seagoing Cowboy.
I would join the program because, I would get to explore the world. Also, I would get to travel. I love to travel and explore. One time when I was exploring in my woods, I found a HUGE deer stand and a family of racoons. Then when I was traveling to
Missouri, me and my little sister PROPER_NAME were getting ready to watch a movie in the car when we saw this GIGANTIC jail house. It was CRAZY!!!
I wouldn't join the pragram because, I would have to leave my family and they probably don't have good food. I have never left my family.
only left them when I was going to a friends house to stay the night. Now about the food. One time I had to eat something so bad it made me sick. If the program had that kind of food, I would probably either DIE, get REALLY sick, or jump over borad (even if the water below is FREEZING cold).
So, that is what I would do if I joined the Seagoing Cowboys or I had to join the Seagoing Cowboys. It would be fun or it could be terrible. | 2 |
1d5fd7e | Many people use cars every single day. Whether it's to go to school, work, a friends, to the store, or even go to an after school activity. A lot of people in other countries such as germany and Paris have given up their cars or vehicles completely.
First off, places have taken away the ability to park. "street parking, driveways and home garages are generally forbidden in this experimental new district"(S1P2). This quote shows that they have taken away the right to park in certain places. "there are only two places to park large garages at the edge of the development, where a car owner buys a space, for $40,000, along with a home"(S1P2). This quote shows how they are limiting areas to park so not many people buy cars.
Second off, Motorized vehicles are causing a lot of smog. "Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France, after five-days of intesifying smog"(S2P14). This quote shows that the smog is building up because of cars. "motorists with even numbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a 22 euro fine"(S2P11). This quote shows that they weren't kidding about no more cars. The cars were causing harm to the beautiful city.
A lot of places today are getting rid of cars. Without cars they can get the natural beauty of the city back instead of it being smokey and gross all day. Eventually it will be like that, but this is a hard transition for people who drive to work or go to school. Its a big change that some places in the world are willing to take. | 2 |
1d5fe2b | cars all around the world are a big part of many peoples daily use. they are used so much that it is starting to become a big problem in major cities like paris, beijing, and new york. now these cities and governments are trying to stop the use of cars before it is too late.
in europe, cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emisions. in the u. s, they are resposible for up to 50 percent in some big cities. if there were less cars on the road, the amount of greenhouse gass emisions would drasticaly change.
in paris, due to the amounts of polution in the air, all cars with even number plates were banned from driving on monday. the next day the same rules aplied to odd numer plates for a 22 euro fine. air polution was down 60 percent after 5 days of intensifying smog.
diesel fuels are blamed in france for causing so much polution. a tax policy there makes diesels more populat than gas cars. diesels make up 67 percent of all vehicles in france, while in western europe, 53 percent are diesel. paris usualy has more polution than other big cities in europe. at one point, paris had 147 micograms of particulate matter per cubic meter. brussels had 114 and londan had 79.9.
recently, there has been a shift in how amercans are usin g there automobiles. as each year passes, americans are buying less cars and driving less. the miles driven in america peaked in 2005 and steadily declined ever since. in april of 2013, the amount of miles driven by a person on average was equal to where it was in january 1995.
in bogota columbia, there acr car free day frequently. in the capital city of 7 million people, only busses and taxis were allowed. authorities from other counties came to bogota to see what i was like without cars and were hapy about it. | 2 |
1d62313 | In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author suggest that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. He supports this idea by explaining why Venus is a good planet to study and the things that make it challenging to study the planet Venus.
The author explained why Venus is a good place to study by stating many reasons why it should be studied. For example, Venus is called the Earth twin becuase of the size, shape, e.t.c. In paragraph 2, the author said, "Often reffered 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,"
also, in paragraph 4, the author said, "If our sister planet is inhospitable, why are scientist even
disccussing further visit to its surface? Astronomers are fascinated by venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planent in our solar system." Striving to meet the challenge presented by venus has valu, not only because of the insght to be gained on the planet itself but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors.
This explains why the author, In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," suggest that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents and how the author supports this idea by explaining why Venus is a good planet to study and the things that make it challenging to study the planet Venus. | 2 |
1d6c98e | There is a deabate wether Electoral College should or shouldn't be alowed. I thing we should keep it because this everyones right to vote. alos it is in the constition.
Electoral Colleges should be abole to vote because it can sway votes "Electoral College method of selecting the president may turn off potential voters". This quote shows that it can sway the voters because they voted for them and theay vote for that person to be the next president.
The bad thing about Electoral Colleges is if there a run-off election "The presidentail election process, is reduced by the Electoral College, which invariably produces a clear winner...." I took it as the Electoral Colleges is the ones to chose the out come of it so why do we vote then if they chose at the end of all of it.
the last reason Electoral College should be abole to vote is that they dont have all the controle "A dispute over the outcome of an Electoral College vote is possible-it haqppened in 2000- but it's less likely than a dispute over the popular vote". This shows that the people can also way the vote the way they want it to go if there is a larg amount of you that agree.
These are the reasons I thing Electoral College people should be abole to vote. everyone should be abole to vote because it is everyones freedom to vote for what they want. | 2 |
1d74982 | Have you ever heard of a Seagoing Cowboy? Well if you would like to know about them keep reading. Seagoing Cowboys are men who work in Europe by shipping farm animals such as horses, young cows, and mules to different countries overseas. Also, Seagoing Cowboys do fun activities while shipping animals back and forth. They do activities such as boxing, fencing, whittling, and many more.
Are you a person who likes traveling? Well that is anonther reason you should be a Segoing Cowboy. One more thing is that, you travel to Europe, France, and many many more. Finally, when you are traviling you have alot of fun and you can complete assignments given by workers.
Have you ever dreamed of sailing to different countries? If you have I will describe it for you. Another thing, I want to tell you is that each time you visit your are capable of doing anything you desire to do. Lastly, when you become you go straight into starting to work.
In conclusion, I think, that if you are all of these things this job is definitley for you. | 2 |
1d7c97a | Driverless cars are the future for daily travel. Driverless cars have a great potential for the future, they have been on the rise of development and new and more productive ways are being introduce to make the cars. These cars are the future for travel because of their ability to copy the skill of human drivers, their potential for new ways of being made, and for the ability to let the driver take charge of the situation.
Driverless cars have been devoleped to be able to copy the ability of human drivers through multiple sensors and laser technology. In the article its stated "...far better response and control than a human driver could manage" the article is talking about the advancement in just the brakes of cars, with the technology already presented, cars that are able to copy the skills of humans and possibly even have more skill and control of the road than humans already do. Sensors along the car allow the car to view the streets and obstacules like a human does, and the addition for even more sensors just expanes the vision of a car, allowing the car to have more knowledge of the street and possible dangers that are ahead.
New technologies are always being manufactured and produced, as well as the advancement of driverless cars. Some cars that are in the market or in the road now even have the technology to warn the driver of any potential dangers, traffic, and many others. In the text it talks about how smart roads were a possiblity for the advancements of cars, that still may be possible with the advancements being made in sensors and radio wave technology. Smart streets and smart cars can work together to develop the future for everyday travel.
As advanced cars can become and how extraordinary then can be, humans with always be needed. Modern day cars now have the potential for being perfectly driverless, but still need the help of humans to help the car manuver itself through tricky areas. Smart cars now a days just don't the technology for the perfection of driverless driving, but they're still be to function without the need for a driver over must normal areas. Cars that aren't able to go ahead without the help of a human driver have the technology to warn or advice the driver for when to to be alert and ready to drive, as stated in the text "In 2013, BMW announced the development of Traffic Jam Assistant".
Driverless cars will greatly change the future, and everyday travel. The ideas and advancements in the car industry will make that possible. Driverless cars will be the step that takes us into the future of this world, by their ability and technology to be able to copy the skills of humans, as well as their potential for how they are constructed and made and the new technologies that are invented , and the option to let the driver actually take control of the car whenever need, these are all the advancements and ways that driverless cars will be the future of everyday travel. As the world progresses driverless car will be a daily part of life then. | 4 |
1d80630 | Driverless cars: are they really safe? There are many points to go with the postitive and negative things about driverless cars. Both sides have very important points to make. There are, however, many more negatives than positives. Three negative points that will be discussed in this essay are: driverless cars would increase the amount of legal conflicts between car manufacturers and drivers, driverless cars would worsen the amount of car malfunctions and put many people in danger, and there is an increased risk of car crashes if driverless cars are used.
To begin, driverless cars would increase the amount of legal conflicts between car manufacturers and drivers. If a driverless car were to fail to do a task correctly, that mistake could result in an accident. This accident would then bring up the question, "who is at fault?" When this question surfaces, many drivers will blame the car manufacturing company, bringing up the point that the car itself failed and not the driver. When this point is brought up, many car manufacturing companies will have to fight lawsuits and have to appear in court. This court showing would result in a large conflict for the company and for the driver, seeing as many people outside of the issue would take sides. The issue would become a large problem for the world, and would be easily settled if driverless cars were not mad to begin with.
Also, driverless cars would increase the amount of car malfunctions that could happen on the road, resulting in an increased danger when going out on the roads. Driverless cars could malfunction in many ways. For example, they could fail to alert the driver when they need to take over, they could fail to communicate that something is wrong with the car itself, or they could fail to drive correctly. Each of those malfunctions could cause serious problems on the road, and put many people in even more danger than they are already in. Although there are many more malfunctions that could happen with a driverless car, they could all be prevented if driverless cars were not let out on to the streets.
The third point is that driverless cars increase the risk of car accidents. Car accidents happen in many ways. If a driver is distracted, if a car malfunctions, if there is a road block, etc. With driverless cars, many drivers will become more distracted, feeling as though they dop not need to watch the road at all and can do whatever they please. However, that is not the case. With a driverless car, people need to be on a higher alert than they would with a regular car: making sure the car does not malfunction, and keeping an eye out for the worst. If a driver were to become too distracted, they would not be watching the road closely enough, and are putting many lives in danger. If the car were to try and get the driver's attention for assistance through an area the car felt it could not drive through, the driver would be too distracted and the car could crash.
To conclude, there are multiple negative effects driverless cars would have if they were used. Driverless cars would increase the amount of legal conflicts between car manufacturers and drivers, driverless cars would worsen the amount of car malfunctions, resulting in many lives put in danger, and with driverless cars there is an increased risk of car crashes. Driverless cars are a bad idea, and should not be put on the roads. They put many people in danger. Driverless cars: are they really safe? | 5 |
1d8869d | The seagoing cowboy program is the best thing that ever happened to me. It is really fun and you get to visit all these fun and cool places that you were never able to visit before.
In the seagoing cowboy program you get to go to all these different countrys and your doing it all to ship animals to different countrys and help people after devastating events. Also when you come back after you dropped off the animals you get to play baseball and volleyball games in the empty holds where the animals had been housed. Table-tennis tournaments,fencing,boxing,reading,whittling,and games. One of the jobs is night watchman where you have to check on the animals every hour. One rainy night, after making my hourly report to the captain,I slid down a slippery ladder on my backside. My heart raced as I shot feet first toward an opening on the side of the ship. A small strip of metal along the edge stopped my slide,Keeping me from flying overboard into the dark Atlantic.
Although the job is dangerous it is for a great cause and that is why I think you should be in the seagoing cowboy program. | 2 |
1d8e8c7 | For many years, researchers have stared at the Mona Lisa. They have made countless observations and have even created this new technology that detects her emotions through facial recognition. Creator Prof. Thomas Huang has named this the Facial Action Coding System. This may not seem very important in the outside world, but the use of Facial Action Coding could be very beneficial in classrooms because it could understand the student's frustration and confusion and would modify the lesson to better fit the student, counselors could use it ot help determine how a student is truly feeling, and it would help teachers better understand the students who rarely talk in their class.
Facial Action Coding could be benificial in classrooms because the technology could understand the student's frustration and confusion and modify the lesson to better fit the student. In schools all around, students are starting to give up. They get too angry at their homework and decide that they don't want to work on it anymore. The problems don't change--but with the Facial Action Coding System, the problems and even the lesson itself could change and become easier for the student. This would allow for the student to wrap their mind around the concept that was given to them. In the article, Dr. Huang states in paragraph 6, "'A classroom computer could recognize when astudent is becoming confused or bored... Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor.'" This quote tells its readers that that is what Dr. Huang wants this new technology to do. Teachers have to follow a guideline and a lesson plan; they have to be on track as to what the students are learning. Dealing with almost fifteen to twenty students a class, the teacher cannot physically help a student one-on-one all of the time. The Facial Action Coding System, however, would be able to. Making it more simple and more efficient for both the students and teachers. Counselors could also use this technology.
Counselors could use the Facial Action Coding System to determine how a student is truly feeling. When sitting in a counselors office, students may be tense or very nervous. Whatever they're in there for, the counselor will have to help that student. With the techonology, counselors could take one look at their face and find out what's bothering them if they are not completely open about it. The counselor would be able to find out if they're sad, upset, scared, or just pulling their strings to get out of class. A counselor's job is to make sure that the students on campus are mentally in check and are ready for the next school year with their classes and progress. When a student enters their office, the technology could sensor the student, making the counselor's job easier and time efficient. When the counselor is done with the student, they're sent back to class. The system could help students and teachers there as well.
The Facial Action Coding System may be useful to help teachers understand the students who rarely talk in class or are deaf. In paragraph 6, Dr. Huang makes a wonderful point--"Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication." In class, students will nod their heads when they agree or understand something that their teacher is presenting them with. But what if they don't nod? Facial Action Coding could help the teacher understand that they're going to fast or that the student is lost. The teacher would then be able to assist in further explaining the lesson or even trying to make the lesson more fun and exciting. There are some students who would rather sit in their desks, avoid being wrong, and won't ask questions because they're too shy. This system would give the oppourtunity for students that were never given the chance.
Overall, the Facial Action Coding System could be very useful in classrooms due to being able to modify and better fit the student based on their emotions, counselors being able to use it, and as well as letting teachers better understand students who are either deaf or rarely talk. Facial Action Coding may only progress, and progressing it shall. | 5 |
1d9389b | There are many advantages and many disadvantages of limiting car usage. Car usage may not be entirely good or bad but we do it anyways. In "In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars" by Elisabeth Rosenthal it speaks of how in Germany life continues to stay without cars being around. In "Paris band driving due to smog" by Robert Duffer he speaks of how paris has limits on not to drive during the smog because it can cause damage and can crucially effect many people in Paris themselves. In "Car-free day is spining into a big hit in Bogota" by Andrew Selsky, he speaks of Columbia rules and regualations and car information. These passages provide valid information of how the car expectation rules and regulations in areas succeed.
When you hear Germany you think of a place where everyone doesn't want to be, but were not hear to talk about that. In Vauban Germany street parking, driveway parking and home garages are generally forbidden in this new distrcit on the outskirts of Freiburg. In fact, 70% of Vauban's families do not own cars, and 57% sold a car to move there in the first place. Automobiles are the linchpin of surburbs,or middle-class families from Chicago to Shanghai tend to make their homes, which is a huge impediment to current efforts to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipes. There has been efforts in the past two decades to make cities denser and better for walking because there is only 5,500 residents within a rectangular mile in Vauban. Overall they are trying to improve the growth of Vauban vehicles to run normally.
Paris the place we know as a symbol of the eiffel tower is great of course but not when there is smog around. Paris enforced a partial diving ban to clear the air of the global city. Almost a good 4,000 drivers and motorists were fined because they were caught driving in the smog so they were fined with a 22-euro or $31 dollar fine for doing so. As time ticked in Paris, cold nights and warm subtle days caused the warm layer of air to trap car emissions so they're was no point in driving anyways. No worries because Paris typically has more smog than other European capitals. A few days later the smog cleared up and people were able to drive without being ticketed or givin a fine, everything went back to normal and were no troubles.
Ever think of having a day where nobdy was allowed to use a car that day? In Bogota Columbia there is a "program" where nobody is allowed to use a car but they can hike, walk, skate, take buses but not use a car in any form. It was the third straight year in Bogota where cars were banned from the streets but only buses were permitted for good transportation. They do this because they want to try and stop pollution because they think there is to much pollution in the air (which their is) so they can help prevent it early on in so the air wouldn't be bad air. As a small effect of not doing this 'program' gray clouds dumped heavily amounts of rain showers on Bogota. This is a good leading cause to society and air pollution because parks and sport centers have been hit on the market as top rated because people chose to choose the safe route and do themselves a better duty.
Overall these rules and regulations between the areas is a very good help for our Earth and keeps it safe. The more people that not use cars and drive on smog days will lessen the amount of air pollution in our air. There has been many campaigns to whether or not to keep this system running in some parts of the world and many representatives do take this in to consideration and learn. Soon we hope for a vast majority of the world to be taking these world problem in a more mature manner and save many people that will born in the bear future to have less air pollution hurting innocent people. | 2 |
1d9859e | I believe the face is just a land structure, and so should you. In this short arumentative essay I will try to convinve you that aliens did not make the "Face on Mars". I hope by the end you'll agree with me.
I believe that the "Face on Mars" is just a landform,because the newest pictures of the face, show that it infact is not shaped like a face. The landform is not shaped like a face, but shadows made the structure look like it had all of the human facial features. Also if the "Face on Mars" was created by aiens it wouldn't look like a human, it would look like whatever the aliens look like, unless the aliens look like humans.
I hope that I have convinced you that the "Face on Mars" is infact not a face at all, but only shadows portraying a face on the landform. I believe i have given you enogh evidence, for you to believe that the "Face on Mars" is only shadows. I hope you agree with what i had to say. | 2 |
1d98e0a | The message coming from these four passages is that with the amount of driving it's causing what some say "smog". The "smog" is caused by the amount of cars, all the exhaust is bad for the air. In the first passage, second paragraph it states that some people gave up there cars. There's not a lot of driving and there's only two places to park, a large parking garage at the end of the development and if someone buys a space for $40,000 which comes with a home.
In the second passage "Paris bans driving due to smog" they enforce a small ban on driving to clear the air of the city. During the couple of day that this occured 4,000 people were fined for $31 for not leaving there cars at home, along with the 27 people who had their car impounded for their reaction to the fine. After five days of no cars, the smog in the air had decreased. After about a week the smog had cleared enough for them to clear the ban.
In the third passage "Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota" it says they went three years with only taking buses or taxis for the Day Without Cars in a city of 7 million. If people drove cars they were fined just like the people were in Paris, only in Bogota it was a $25 fine. Some people in the city of Bogota state "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution". New places have been built, old things were made new in this city, it seems to be a better place there.
In the last passage "The End of Car Culture" It talks about the driving and the cars in the US. Studies show that Americans are buying fewer and fewer cars, less driving, and less people are getting their licenses as the years pass by. Since 2005 the number of miles has been dropping year after year. many sociologists believe that if this type of pattern continues it will have benefits for the carbon emissions and for the enviorment around us.
As you see there are many differnt things going on around the globe that have to do with the amount of driving and how it's not entirely good for Earth. In some cities the amount of smog has decreased, some cities have become better with new buildings and things that were rebuilt. In one of the cities people enjoy the "Car-free days" it relieves stress in people and helps clean the air of their enviorment. There are many different ways that limiting car usage is an advantage to us. Less stress, cleaner air, and a better enviorment. | 2 |
1d9cb5d | "The Challenge of Exploring Venus", the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthu pursuit despite the dangers it presents. it's dangeour because you dont know
what is going to happen. Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may weell once have been the most Earth-loke planey in our solar System. Venus is the most closest planet like Earth in terms of density and size. It's also the closest in distance too. Numerous factors contribute to Venu's reputation as a challenging plante for human to study, despite its aproximity to us. Venus has a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. Its more challenging even more the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venu's atmosphere. Venu's have different degrees and atmospheric pressure is much highe than what we experience on our own planet. That is something dangerous for us because we are not use to have that much higher degrees and that much atmospheric presure.
In the article it says that the temperature average is over 800 degrees and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than our planet. Finally science are still discussing futher visits to its surface because Venu's is the planet that is closest to the Earth.
They still wan to do their research because Venu's is the Earths twin and there might be a posibility that we can have live in that planet. Like I said Venu's is the planet more likely to Eart because Venu's also have a rocky surface that includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters. That is why they are still doing their research on the planet and they want to discover new stuff about Venus. | 2 |
1d9e356 | The advancing of technology is unstoppable. When the driverless car is fully driverless, it will be revolutionary. That's why I believe that driverless cars are a great thing that will be fully added to our world one day. The driverless car could benefit the people of this world in many ways, it conserves gas, it's more safe than other ways of transportation, and it would cost less.
One very important thing about the driverless car is that it conserves gas. The world is already in a mild gas problem as oil is a nonrenewable resource. This is because the people of the world use way too much gas every day for driving. These cars would use half the fuel that cars today use. That would make the price of gas go down and it would help our gas problem and make gas last for many more years.
Driverless cars will be extermently safer than the cars we have today. I say this because it would cause less accidents. Let's say that someone had a little bit too much to drink but he or she is still alert enough to drive. Instead of taking the risk of crashing, he or she can get into the driverless car and only control it at a few moments. There would be a way less chance of he or she crashing and would make the roads way safer for every one else.
The driverless car will save many families a ton of money. Instead of families buying their own car, they can call a Google driverless taxi when they need to go somewhere and not have to worry about the cost of gas. They also wouldn't have to worry about the price of buying a new car. The only places that would be losing money out of this is car dealerships. When the driverless cars become mainstream there wont be much need for car dealerships or even man driven cars.
Driverless cars are going to be one of the biggest inventions in human history once they break their way into the mainstream. They would help out the world in many ways by conserving gas, making the world a safer place, and it would save familes a ton of money. When driverless cars are finally released to the public, the lives of almost every body in the world will be improved. | 3 |
1da634a | Would it not be nice to have car that will drive and navigate itself? Driverless cars are the transportation of the future. In 2009, Google had already created a car that was almost completely independent and, many other companies such as General Motors had created similar cars. These cars have many unknown variables that still need to be worked out but, driverless cars will be a positive change towards the future.
Scientist have been working on creating a driverless car for years. As of 2009, Google created an almost independent car. The car could do almost anything. the downfall was that the car still relied on driver control in situations such as traffic construction zones. These cars have alert systems to alert the driver when human assistance is needed. Therefor these cars are still safe to operate but not completely independant.
The majority of the driverless cars being invented today have a great deal of sensors.
These sensors allow the cars to distinguish thier surroundings, giving the most amount of safety possible. These cars are also more fuel efficient and eco friendly. They will use less fuel and will be equipped with many safety features. These new features allow the car to see 360 degrees around the vehicle and keep the passenger as safe and comfortable as posible.
As of now, many of these cars still need human attention when driving. They are equipped with vibrating seats and sensors on the wheel to monitor that the human is alert. Eventually these cars will be able to navigate through all situations without any human support. This will allow passengers to enjoy the ride and drive longer distances faster. As well as maintaining confidence in thier safety.
These cars will allow passengers to utilize thier time more efficiently by allowing them to use the time they usually spend driving doing something else. People will be in less danger because there will be no room for human error. If all cars were self driven, then the capacity for safety would be maximized and there would be less polution because the cars are more economical, and less wasteful due to the fuel efficiency of the cars. Yes, these cars present future issues such as liability and traffic regulations, but in the end they will be more benificial. | 3 |
1da8f12 | Although the usage of motorized vehicles such as cars and motorcycles still remains at large, there is a significant amount of the global population that have realized the advantages of limited automobile usage. Cars and other diesel or gasoline dependant vehicles emit large amounts of greenhouse gases, which eventually lead to the progression of global warming. Not only this, but whether we notice it or not, cars and the spaces that are required to house cars take up valuable space that we can use for agriculture, the stimulation of the economy through the purchase of goods, even for progression of our education. The using of motorized vehicles is not something that should be banned by suburban life, but it, -like its predecessor the transportation means by horse hauling- has started to become obsolete.
As shown by Vauban, Germany, a community in which the usage of cars is virtually nonexistant, the extinction of car usage is something to be welcomed; like a weight being lifted off the responsible shoulders of your average driver. Driving is not only a what is now viewed as a necessary activity for daily living, but it is also a hazardous chore that we as common citizens must place on ourselves on a borderline daily basis. When driving, we are subjecting our safety to the hands of chance, leaving our lives suseptible to being taken from us by an irresponsible driver, someone who we will most likely never cross paths with again.
"When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way,"
says a member of the car-free community Heidrun Walter, a media trainer and mother of two. Aside from health related deaths, death by car accident is not something that is unheard of, it is actually one of the top theives of life found in the United States alone. It is estimated that a death of a teenager (ages 16-20) resulting from a car accident happens every 16 seconds. Without cars to drive, there would be no way these accidents may occur.
Within the last century, the rate of global warming has skyrocketed in an almost terrifying way. The natural process that would normally take several millenia to take place without the interference made by humans has been nearly cut by three-quarters with the technological advancements that we as a species have made. In three of the four sources, it has shown that the emissions made by fossil fuel dependant vehicles have been the biggest contribution to the advancement of global warming. It is even shown in the article written by Robert Duffer that even a partial ban of car usage in Paris was able to reduce the amounts of smog there significantly.
In two of the articles, it has been shown that with the reduction of car usage, the space that was once consumed completely by these motorized psychological traps can be used to further flourish our enviornment with shopping malls, schools, parks and health centers that are readily available to us. Although we may not notice on a regular basis, but the amount of space that is used to give drivers a place to drive and to give cars a place to inhabit is more than likely bigger than the amount of space that we give an average citizen to live in. In Vauban, Germany 5,500 residents are able to live within a rectangular square mile, whereas a majority of that space in a place like Miami, Florida would be made vacant in terms of living, but prosperous in terms of space taken up by cars. In Bagota, Columbia as a result from their yearly "Car-free day" has increased their amount of publicly availabel park and sports center, and have also improved the sidewalks that are readily available to its citizens.
Physical activity has always been promoted, since we were small children who are incapable of driving. Some would say that we were conditioned to view exercise as the best alternative to driving, and it turns out that our conditioning has been proven as fruitful. Within the last several years, the amount of miles driven per person has decreased by nine percent as shown in the article written by Elisabeth Rosenthal, the amount of those looking to receive their driver's liscense has also decreased. This is not because the generation of millenials has viewed driving as something not to their interest, but because we are conditioned to not want to partake in it. Even if our conditioning was not intentional, it has proven fruitful in terms of the improvement of our awareness of both human lives and the enviornment. Both cars and driving are making their way to ineffeciency, and that is not a bad thing. The lack of cars on the road is something to look forward to, both for our ability to look forward to new technological advancements in transportation and for our longevity as a species. | 5 |
1db605b | The face on mars is not made by aliens.
The face on mars is natural.
The face was just formed there with the planet.
Nuthing put it there nuthing changed it.
The face is just a lump of the planet.
The picture shows martian equivalent of a butte or messa.
You can make the picture look like that too.
On the picure there they made prosesse every 20 years.
But it could of bean the camera.
Nasa could of made the picture blury.
The aliens did not make this. The reason i think they dident make this is because they dont have tools.
On mars there are no tools.
The face could of bean dust pilling up on that on spot. Making it look like a face.
In space something could of hit the camra.
Making it look like there was a face.
Theres not even a ship for the aliens.
Plus the picter could be fake. Nasa could of took a fake picture.
People think that the face is bona fide evidence of life on mars.
They could be right but the life is not aliens.
We budget wish there was an ancient civilization on mars.
We still keep the track on the face.
End of story there are no aliens. | 1 |
1dbaa5f | Dear mr. senator, i think that we should keep the electorial college, because it is more sufficient and we are used to it. when i say this, i am speaking for the people. The Electorial 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.
COMPROMISE
is the big word of the day. Most compromises are the right way to go in many occasions. also, it says that it was in THE CONSTITUTION
.
Our founding fathers have already had this argument hundreds of years ago, and they agreed on something that has worked for many years, so why would we changte something thats working? you are insane if you want to change it mister senator. The elecotrial 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 electorial votes by congress. <--- great process btw! The electorial college consists of 538 electors. A majority of 270 electorial votes is required to elect the president. Your states entitled allotment of electors equals the number of members in its congressional delegation : one for each member in the House of representitives plus two for your senators.
HMU if you wanna dicuss this any further

1dbcd1d | Hello, my name is Luke Bomberger and I am in the Seagoing Cowboys program. Here in the Seagoing Cowboys program you are able to help people, travel the world, and also have fun a long the way. Now I will tell you about the experiences I have had as a Seagoing Cowboy and why you should join.
First I am going to tell you why I became a Seagoing Cowboy. When I graduated high school I had no idea what to do. Until my friend Don Reist invited me to go to Europe on a cattle boat. I couldn't say no. I knew it was an opportunity of a life time. Then I started my journey.
It was 1945, World War 2 was over in Europe, and many countries were left in ruins. These countries needed food supplies, animals, and more to recover. Thats when 44 nations joined together to form UNRRA. UNRRA was an administration that hired "Seagoing Cowboys" to take care of animals that were shipped overseas. Thats when Don and I signed up for the Seagoing Cowboys.
After the Pacific War ended in August, 1945. We received orders to report to New Orleans. The orders were to ship a corgo of 335 horses, plus enough hay and oats to feed them to Greece. The cattle-boat trips were an unbelievable opportunity for a small-town boy. Besides helping people, I had the side benefit of seeing Europe and China.
When you are a Seagoing Cowboy you have to opportunity to travel to many different places. I have crossed the Atlantic Ocean 16 times and crossed the Pacific Ocean twice to help people affected by World War 2. I have also been to Europe and China. But seeing Greece was special to me.
Most people think being a Seagoing Cowboy is all hard work and that we don't have any fun. The people who say that are very wrong, Seagoing Cowboys have a lot of fun on their spare time. When we finish our orders we take some time off and do fun activites. In Venice, Italy, I took a gondala ride over a city with streets of water. In China I also toured an excavated castle, and marveled at the Panama Canal. Another way we have fun is on board. When the ships have been unloaded we play baseball games, vollyball games, fenceing, boxing, and many other fun things to help pass time.
In conclusion, you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program to help people in need, travel the world, and have fun a long the way. Being a Seagoing Cowboy has been much more than an adventure for me, Luke Bomberger. It has opened up the world to me. | 3 |
1dbfc26 | Imagine the ability to percieve every single emotion of another person, recieved in short and direct percentiles. This will now be possible thanks to the latest innovation in software development by Prof. Thomas Huang and Prof. Nicu Sebe. This new computer software will be able to contruct a 3-D model of one's face and analyize major facial muscules and the emotions that they convey. This is used along with FACS, Facial Action Coding System, which codifies the facial features into the six basic emotions of happiness, suprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. All of this information is complied and then you reviece results. This techonology has been predicted to assist students in classrooms who struggle with a certain lesson. Doctor Huang says, "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored...it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." This does seem promising, but I propose that this techonology would not be as beneifical as it seems and will only further alienate our society, end up being only used to make profit, and exasterbate stimatization of mental disorders and 'wrong emotions'.
Today we are blessed with technologies science fiction of the past could not even dream of and yet we are still faced with the same psychological neurosis of the past. On a large scale technology has seemed to exasturbate this problem, we are lonely, we are guilty about the past and anxious about the future. Before we would do anything to be liked by our peers, but now we will do anything to be liked by the thousands of blank profiles on social media. This does not diminish the adcances in science, computers, and the now easy access to information we have but technology always brings with it amazing powers but also terrible consequences and we must use it responsibly, In the artile "Making Mona Lisa Smile" by Nick D'Alto, it says "In face, we humans perform this same impressive calulation every day. For instance you can tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look on her face." Our human brains are just as powerful as the machines we create. We do not need artificial software to bring us together we only need to encourage and foster a society of empathy and compassion. The use of this emotion-recognition technology in classrooms would not be effective if teachers and instuctors are not already avaliable to address such issues as demotivation, boredom, and more extreme cases of mental disorders. We can make genuine connections in the real world to solve these problems instead of expensive new technology. Schools may not be able to even afford them, but others might.
Others might use this techonology for less admirable means than classroom disinterest. The article states other uses, "For example, if you smile when a Web ad appears on your screen, a similar ad might follow. But if you frown, the next ad will be different." This does not seem as nefarious if you do not think of the further consequenses. Privacy is becoming a scarce commodity in the twenty-first century, as I type this companies and corporations are making money selling my (and your) personal information to thrid-parties. In today's society, money is the sole drive for success. This type of emotion-recognition software would be less likely to be used in classrooms and more likely to be used to sell more stuff.
In conclusion, this techonology could only be used in a regulated and safe environment in order for it to be effective. The consequenses of this technology would be an increased of alienation and the malpractice of this technology. One day this technology might become widespread but before than happens it is even more important for one to address the societal impact technology has already had on us and foster a society of compassion where this technolohy would thrive. | 4 |
1dc68f0 | There once was three citizen friends from boston who wanted who wanted to limit car usage to 70 percent they realized it was a good idea because it'll help people avdanced experiment in low-car suburban life but its basic precepts are being adopted around the world in attempts to make suburbs more compact and more accessible to public transportation with less parking space in this new approach stores are far away to walk to on a main street rather than in small malls around some distant highway at the same time its a good idea because if they give up their cars therre will less traffic no accidents or any parking space and it will be less problems with people they think if they give up there cars there will be a safer street for everyone but some people didnt like idea because if they give up there cars they wont be able to get to their jobs on time and at the same some people live to far from jobs and homes that they want keep people driving their cars | 2 |
1dd6a58 | How do we know if are feeling are real or not? When something happens to a person that is negitive. That person usall has a hard time getting though it. They try and hid there emotions for the people around them. That is there choice some people are quit and do not like to talk about there feeling and other like to open up and talk. It would be wrong if this system came out and is would show others how people are reallly feeling. Instead of the Facial Action Coding System showing our feeling it would be taking are feeling away in a sense. This Facial Action coding system is showing up everywehere, in classrooms, in the theathed and around the house. People can never hide for there true emotions.
How this works in a classroom. A computer in a classroom can reconize when a student is becoming confused or bored. And his advance technology can change the lesson and make the lesson essaier so the kids can understand it. This is wrong becasue if a kid does not get something they usally raise his or her hadn and asks a question. Kid would not do that becasue the computer is just changing it for them. The kid would lose a lot of people skill. Which are very importan to learn as a kid. Where is the teacher, does this system just replace the teachers all over the world. or do we still have them and the computers just tell them what to teach and what to said. This system could make the kids very self contes too becasue the system is just telling the kids that they do not understand it and that they need the information to be dumbed down for them. This system does not belong in a classroom.
People use this while looking in a mirror because they want to know if looking in a mirror suggest an a emotion. This system says that the musculs in our face know the different between a genunie smaile and a forced one. Why does it matter a smile is a smile. The only people that would be able to tell the differnce are the people that you are really close with. people that do not know you would not even care about your emotions. the system is pointless people have the right to hide there emotions. And if they want to share them witht the people that they are cloase to then good for them. This system should have be used when you look at yourself in a mirror. You personal should know what your emtionsa and feelings are.
People use this on stage actors use it to make more emotion on stage. And again why do we need this. If you are a weel tought actor you should not need a mechain to make emotions or faces for you. The hole point of being an actor is becasue you are good at expressing you feelings. How do the comman people know if the person is a good actor if these meachines are making their faceal expressions. This system is unneed in the arts the actors are capale of making there own faces and emotions.
Why do we need to know the percents of emotions. Do some people really care that much that they need to make it a math . It is very unhealth to make every little thing excat. Not everythiing is perfect nor will it ever be. Our emotions should not become a math proble. becaue the only person that can truly solve it is yourself. Emotions can be all over the place but that is apart of life. And if we had a system to make every little emotion perfect, then how would we learn. How would we know what hurt feels like how would we deal with that hurt. Maybe this system tells you that your 20% happy 50% hurting. It makes your think that is right. Thats how you really feel, computers can not tell you how to feel.
I feel like this system is telling you how to feel. When the people used the video imagery to see what the peainting would look like with a smile. That was okay becasue they were just seeing they were not changing anything perimatal. when you do soemthignfor fun to see what it looks like that is okay. But when you start to make it real. That is what is wrong making our emtions a math problam, telling us how to feel, and what emotions to feel when we are look in the mirror. That is not okay its wrong, you have to let us learn for our emotions in order to change them for the better. If we are sad then find somehting to make us happy. If we want to be alone let us be alone. Let use be human and feel are own emotions. | 4 |
1dd9df1 | Hello, I am here to tell you why I believe that people participate in the Seagoing Cowboys program. I think that would be a good way to see the world and go place you never been before and you can go over seas and help other countries in need.
In the story A Cowboy Who Rode the Waves it state in paragraph 4, in World War two over in Europe and many other places they was left in ruins so 44 nations joined togethere to form a UURRA and they hired "Seagoing Cowboys" to take care of the animals they was shipping over seas. That is why I believe participating in the Seagoing Cowboys program is a good thing cause you can help other countrys in need.
In the story it sate i paragraph 6 that the boy Luke that was in the Seagoing Program he was over seas for two weeks before he had got to china. That is one of the reason why i think that being in the Seagoing Cowboys is a good way for you to go places you never been before
Last, the passage state in paragraph 9 that being a Seagoing Cowboy was much more that a adventure for Luke Bomberger. This is why I choose to think that it is a great idea to be in the Seagoing Cowboys program cause you can see stuff that you never in your life seen before and have adventures.
This shows why I have stick to believe that it is good idea for people to participate in the Seagoing Cowboys program. | 2 |
1ddd510 | I am for the technology to read students' emotions. This technology would help people. But after you find their mood then you should talk to them about it and ask them if they want to talk about. Most people that anger or sad they do not want to talk about, or people don't ask how your day is going. So this technology would help some kids that need help and i think i would make schools safe too.
It says' in the article that "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored." This would also help kids that are struggling in class and could get them more help. This would let the teacher know who needs help and who does not need the help. I think people would have better grades because the teacher would know to help, or they would feel better after talking about what is wrong. This technology could change everthing in schools.
This is why i think this technology should be a thing because it would schools and even works. This would make it better in the world to make people happy. I think people would talk about what is wrong if you ask them because you want the students mad or upset inn class. They would not learn as much becasue they would be thinking about what is wrong. This technology should be a thing. | 2 |
1de153e | In 1976 NASA captured a picture of Mars with the Viking 1. This photo was taken of a Martian mesa which resembled a human face. When this was shown to the public, people went crazy. People said that it was created by aliens, but others say it was
just a landform on Mars.
For my evidence that this photo is in fact a normal natural landfrom on Mars. We shall compare the dates these photos were taken. When Viking 1 first took the picture of the "Face" we weren't able to see all of the details. Remember at the time photography wasn't as superb as it was in 2001. In 1998 when MGS took the picture of the "Face" we were able to get a clearer product, but there were clouds in the way. If those clouds were not in the way we would have evidence it was a landform sooner. At the perfect time NASA was able to get a clear photo with better technology we were able to see the "Face" for what is really was.
At the time conspiracy theorist said that NASA was hiding the truth from the public saying that life on Mars did exist, but they were relunctant to show it. Even if they did find life on Mars it would be a huge scientific discovery. Why would we be forced to hide the truth from the people and not answer the biggest question in
history. Are We Alone. Just to add on, these conspiracy theorist did not have enough evidence to prove their claim either.
Now this ties in with my first claim of technology at the time. if you compare the photo from 1976 and 2001 you can see a major difference. Shading. In the Voyager 1's photo the lighting is not the best. Shadows in the photo make the illusion that there is a face in this rock. In MGS's photo there are features that are more defined than the 1976 photo.
Even though it would be amazing to have life this close to our planet. Mars is not just the right place for life. Sometimes we just have to accept reality. We may really be alone here in this huge universe. Maybe someday we will find aliens. Maybe not. The Face of Mars gave hope to some and brought them back down, but there will be a day when our visions of extraterrestrials will come true. | 4 |
1de7a3e | The unmasking face on Mars is some odd landform on that planet. As Viking 1 landed it was waiting for it's sister to land, Viking 1 was wondring around and taking photos of where Viking
2 would land. Then Viking 1 found a face on the ground.
Some people think it's an alien artifact. Some people also think it's just how the land was formed which I think is correct and I will tell you why.
People think it was aliens because there is no human life force in Mars. Some people think that aliens did it because
people thought there was alien markings. But The face was naturally created on Mars.
Some people said that it reminds them about the American west.
On the Snake River Plain of Idaho. It was delcared that there was no alien monument after all.
When the picture of the face was taken people were excited to see it. Web surfers were ready to see it. In 2001 the picture was in better quality. The image spanded 1.56 meters
and it was better than the one in 1976 with the 43 meter span. So in conclusion
the face on Mars was not created by aliens it was naturally created by the landform. | 2 |
1de8098 | There are three key reasons that NASA would not want to hidde the evidence or wouldn't want a ancient civilzation. One reason is that having a ancient civilzation would be a key thing to research. Another one is it would make the popularity and profits go up for NASA. The Third reason is that the face is two miles wide, and resembles a butte, from the camera's quality.
They wouldn't want to hide this civilzation, because they would have reasearch and more popularity. NASA's defenders say they wish there was a civilzation. The article stated this about the Nasa budget: "Meanwhile, defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an Ancient civilzation on Mars." They want there to be one but that isn't what it is.
NASA would get more donations and profit if this was true. This means NASA wouldn't want to deny it if it even was true. The reasoning of the conspiracy theorists are wrong saying that they want to hide this evidence, because they don't. This would enable them to accomplish farther space study and more information about an extra terristral civilzation.
The camera they used in 2001 compared to 1977 had a way better camera. Also they stated in the article "...on April 8, 2001--a cloudless summer day in Cydonia--Mars Global Surveyor drew close enough for a second look". This takes out the reasoning of the conspiracy theorists that their were clouds and shadows blocking the camera that made it appear as a butte in 2001 compared to when it looked like a face in 1977.
NASA has done extensive research on this topic and wished it was true. The facts prove it is not real, and how it would help NASA if it was. As the cameras have gotten better and people have resoned better it proves the Mars face was a natural mishap from shadows of the two mile wide butte. | 3 |
1dedbfa | The sea going Cowboys is a good program! It's adventurous and fun. You can do a lot of fun things in the sea going cowboy program . If you join you will have a blast ! You can learn things , and also see alot of cool things while traveling and experience unique things. Maybe I can even show you around the boat a little.
One reason to join the sea going cowboy clubs is you can see cool places while traveling. Maybe even collect some cool items you find on the ship or even souvenirs from other states , countries and villages . You can also see cool statue like Statue of Liberty if we ever go to New York again . Once I got to tour an excavated castle in Crete .
Second reason you should join cowboys club is you can meet new people , and make new friends . In many countries,states and villages there are different people like in age , race , and language. While rest stoping in villages some families don't have as much so you should give respect and show them you come with peace . While your in certain places you can learn different cultures , religions , tradition .
According to the story our boat carrys animals because UNRRA hired us too . Taking care of animals isn't hard at all , feed them , clean them , clean there pens , and that's it three easy steps . Some animals might be pregnant so we will have to double feed them and watch them for signs of birth. The baby's will be easy to take care of most of the time because they will stay with there mothers for 4 weeks then separate them .
Joinging the sea going Cowboys will be the best choice you make . You can go on fun trips learn stuff culturals from countries,city and states . Maybe learn some different languages along the way . You can get souvenirs and maybe even tells some stories to kids about all your trips , best of luck hope ou join our program . | 3 |
1dee883 | Venus also sometimes called "the evening star" is consider one of the brightest points of light in the night sky. Venus is considered a "twin" to Earth because it is the second planet from sun and becuse it is the closest to Earth in size and density and also the closest in distance.
Venus also neighbors other planets an example is in paragraph 2 "Earth, Venus, and Mars, our other planetary neighbor, orbit the sun at different speeds. These diferences in speed mean that sometimes we are closer to mars and other times to Venus. because Venus is sometimes right around the corner-in space terms-humans have sent numerous spacecrafts to land on this cloud-draped world."
Venus has surface temperatures that are up to "800 degrees Fahrenheit" and the atmosphere is "90%" stronger than what we experience on earth. Venus also makes up "97% of carbon dioxide" so we would not be able to breath with also the planet being to hot to step on. they have also had unmanned missions on Venus for example in paragraph 2 "Each previous mission was unmanned, and for a good reason, since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours." NASA is also working on some other approaches to study Venus for example in paragraph 7 "some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamer simulating the chaos of Venus's surface aand have lasted for three weeks in such conditions."
NASA has also planned to take a look at technology called mechanical computers, how they were developed? An example would be in paragraph 7 "These devices were first envisioned in 1800's and played an important role in the 1940's during World War 2." NASA is hoping in the future to make a sucessful test launch to Venus. | 1 |
1df4871 | A Cowboy Who Rode the Waves
You should join the Seagoing Cowboys program. It's a lot of fun and you can do most of the things you thought you'd never do. I will give you four reasons why you should come join the Seagoing Cowboys program.
The first reason why you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program is that you can help people in different countries. I will give you two examples why. First example is that you can go overseas and give countries horses, young cows, and mules. The second example is that you can it'll show your personality and people will like you more. The second reason why you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program is that you can travel a lot. There's two examples for this reason too. First example is that you can go to like Europe and China and other places. The second example is that while your working, you go to all of these different places that you never to before. The third reason why you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program is that you might have free time to go different spots in that country. Here are two examples for this reason. First example is that you might go to a gift shop and get you some things to take back to your country. The second example is that you can go look at the things that you might wanted to see but never did. My fourth and final reason why you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program is that it might change your life. Here are two more examples for this last reason. First example is that you might have thought your life is boring and this was one of a lifetime chance to go to this program. The second example is that you might go to this program and then realize that you want to start joining more and more of these or different kind of programs because it was fun to you.
Those were four reasons why I think you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program. I suggest that if you ever get this kind opportunity, you should go try it out because you never know what it could be like. It might change your life or have great adventures for you. They might even do both of those things if you think about it. I know I would want to do this if I had the chance to. So if you get this opportunity, just know that it might have some great things for you in life afterwards. | 4 |
1e07d3d | Driverless cars are still in the development stage because companies need to figure out all of the details they need. Some cars in the past aren't driverless, but they were smart cars. Smart cars had extra features that were specially made for them. Automakers are still in the progress of making their driverless cars for the future. Some companies have already started their ideas and are planning to release them in 2016 or 2020.
My position on driverless cars is that it's a good and bad idea. Driverless cars have amazing features that can help a driver in need. Smart cars also helped out drivers, but not with everything they needed. Driverless cars can be dangerous in some ways, because of the way they're made or the features that are included with them. Automakers have many ideas to include with their driverless cars, but they need to make sure they're safe. None of the cars developed so far are completely driverless. Driverless cars need to include human skills if they want to pass as a safe car to use.
There are many good ideas that driverless cars can include. Some good ideas are: they drive themselves, use half the fuel of today's taxis, give alerts to the driver during dangerous situations, sensors, and other amazing ideas. The main idea that is included with the driverless car is that it drives itself. Drivers won't have to worry about having both hands on the wheel because the car will take that over for them. Another good idea is using less fuel so that means less pollution and less money coming out of people's pockets. Driverless cars will also give alerts and sensors dangerous situations that are approaching the car. Automakers are adding and developing new ideas to add to the driverless cars to improve them better. Safer and smarter cars will help the driverless cars become more popular to use.
There are many bad ideas that driverless cars can include. Some bad ideas are: dangerous situations, lose control of the car, technology failing, or manufacturing errors. An accident can occur in front of a driverless car and it may not react fast enough to get out of the way. A driverless car makes the driver lose control of where they want to go or what they want to do. Technology can fail on the road and other drivers can get injured, including the driver inside of the driverless car. Before someone purchases a driverless car, there can be a manufacturing error included in it. A driverless car can be very dangerous to use and can cause problems.
In conclusion, driverless cars are good and bad for people. Driverless cars can also help the environment, but they can also ruin it with dangerous situations. People should look closely into buying a driverless car because many things can go wrong. In my opinion, I wouldn't buy a driverless car because of manufacturing errors or environmental issues. I would rather drive a car in my control so I know what to look out for and keep my attention on the road. Driverless cars would be a cool thing to have, but I'm not into the things that they include. | 4 |
1e0fde2 | In the article "Driverless Cars Are Coming" the author tells positive and negative outcomes of drivers . Which leaves me to think that there could be complications with these cars. Yes, it would be cool to see the world evolve before my eyes and see what more the future has to bring but, is this dream even possible?
These cars could maunfunction and someone could get seriously hurt. These cars could also completly change traffic laws . Not only that but how would the future of the world be prepared to take action if they were to mounfunction no one by then would know how to drive a car and wont have a drivers license. is it possible that they could even forget the basic traffic laws ? Like putting your seatbelt on or stopping at a stop light. Questions like these worry meand dont convice me that these cars would be safe.
In the other hand making these cars can advance technology and be a start of changing the world .These cars would be so much easier and wouldnt cause many acccidents if they were to work. Plus who doesnt want a self driving car? It would be so much easier for transpertation. You wouldnt have to wait for the senior citizen to get out of the lane because your in a hurry or wait for the guy ahead of you to notice the traffic light is on green.
If anything I would say i stand in both positions. I am concerned about the safety of theses cars but, wouldnt it be so cool to have your own choffer thats not even existing. To just hang out at he back of the car and final catch up with social media or change the song without having to be cautios of where you are going.
These cars could be the start of something new and could change us all. Making these cars could be the path way to our future. We could all be teleporting next or flying. If they where to work who knows what else we can come across of and make happen. The world is full of possiblites you just have to take the right path and drive through it. | 3 |
1e14a01 | Driverless cars should not be in our future nor should it even be a choice. I dont think driverless cars should be a thing we start to do because this will only cause problems in the law, letting people think that its okay to drive while texting or talking on the phone. My side of the argument comes with many reasons on why i think we should be allowed to have driverless cars.
Driverless cars are an excuse to be able to be on our phones while in the drivers seat. This will not show teenagers that they need to get off their phones and actully pay attention on what they are doing. In the article it states that the car will need to have a special touch sensor to make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel, this clearly states that driver shouldnt even be allowed to be doing anything but paying attention to the road because while driving anything can happen or even pop up and if you were on the phone it would have been too late.
Secondly, these cars are making the law change or add new laws. The cars will only create many problems becasue someone decide to check their phone, and then all of a sudden something okay, not too good, or something really bad. The article about this topic syas that they only want to keep helping the money and use it all for ourselves.
Thirdly, the cars are only wasting money on trying to firgure out how to or making it. Driverless cars will redcue jobs for many people, There will be no more taxis or Uber. The processs of the driverless car is that they have to buy new parts somene who they know how cooler or worth the look.
In conculsion i think that the driverless care is not safe becausee it shows that the teeacher, it will cause my entire life, and it waste money and time on something so dumb and wating money. These reason why i think that its bad is because it bothers you that me and isaav sare really close! | 2 |
1e15bb2 | Driverless cars, Yay or Nay?
Driverless cars are a step towards the future, but is it a step worth taking? Driverless cars would reduce the actual knowledge of driving from the new generation. Actual experiance behind the wheel would be reduced greatly, therefore limiting the drivers ability to react to life threatening and potentionally harmful situations on the road. Not only that but the amount of money needed to fund a driverless public transport system would make one faint. Another question needing to be said is "what about the old normal cars"? what are we going to do with all the cars that cannot drive without an operator behind the wheel at all times? For all these reasons and more, i say no to driverless cars.
Would drivers licences even be nessecary anymore? The car would be driving ninety-nine percent of time, so what would be the point? New drivers would have little to no time to actually drive. Driverless car are a step toward a future of laziness because we have the technology to do just about everything we do normally in our daily lives. If there is an accident happens, how would you avoid it? You have have little to no knowledge on how to run an actual vehicle. Accidents would be unstoppable. that is an unnessecary risk for human life.
How much would it cost to actually make the " fleets of driveless cars? My guess would be around in the high billions. America cant really fund such a high cost, low income project. If we asked for help from other countries it would put us in even greater debt than we are in now. What would happen to all of the old cars? There would hardly be room with and army of driverless cars that correct normal human error. No ability to pass other car brcause the would follow a pattern of organization. Almost like single file, no one passes other cars because the all go the same speed. Would all the old cars be srapped because they would be unusable?
The ideas of driverless cars would appeal to many people, especially those who hate driving because it takes work. Texting while driving would be off no concern to anyone, because the car does everyhting for them. Many would feel that it is a step into the future. It is technically a move towards the future technology wise, but would limit us in the end. It is one of those plans that sounds better when said than when it is put into play.
Driverless cars are a good idea in thought but not in action. The cars themselves would cost too much for how many that are planned to be made. It limits your actual experiance behind the wheel and make you more likely to be hurt in the event of a car crash because you didnt know how to respond properly. Driverless cars are an idea that i do not support and dislike. They are not a step into the future but a push towards laziness. | 4 |
1e18757 | We can all help participate in helping other countries that are not our own. Though there is no war happening such as WWII, there are still other countries that need help. Seagoing Cowboys are a great way to help other countries. We get more freedoms than any other country. So, we should help by becoming Seagoing Cowboys.
We should all be helpful. Though our country is in lack of willingness to help, doesn't mean we shouldn't help. To be more factual we should all be willing to become a Seagoing Cowboy. You don't just get the privelage to help people in need, you get to see other parts of the world, you may never see otherwise! Also, don't you just want the feeling of knowing that you are saving peoples lives? That you are making a difference in the world? On the contrary, it could be fun as well. You can play games and, get to know some really great people.
We should all be exited to become Seagoing Cowboys because, it would be such a great experience. I don't have a doubt in my mind that this would be very fun for all ages. The joy, exileration, and pleasure of doing this grand act of kindness. So become a Seagoing Cowboy, for the people that need you most. | 2 |
1e19e64 | My postion on driverless cars are simple reasons why i dont trust them .I wouldnt feel safe walking down the treeet know ing that a driverless car is driving 25-30 miles next to me and them mess up and hit me. There are so many reasons why we shouldnt and here just a few .
I feel that driverless cars have some faults because for some big reasons succh as if we get into and accident who would know what happened would it be ther car or the driver and it would take a long time to figure out .
Another reason would be that if they had driverless cars we wuld have to have a special liscense and so many people would have to retake the driiver test and so much more. Its crazy because the fact is this that people would have so much of a harder time of driving the driverless cars because you never know when the car will mess up and you have to take over theres so much little detail that we havent worked out yet .
I feel that if we were to have driverless cars that people wouldnt know how to act that some people would be stupid with them and we already have a problem with texting and driving, i feel like his would bring the same concept to people .If we can be hand free with out driving it would be crazy people would be doing the craziest stuff if they were hand free.
Then there the way in part of the article it said "even if traffic laws change we would need new laws to in the case of an accident " so why do we need smart cars when in all reality we just need people to pay atttention to the road .Fot my conclusion i feel that were fine with cars that have a driver and that i feel its more safer than driverless cars . | 3 |
1e1b741 | Driverless cars are the new future to this planet and in technology. There needs to be a new and improved way to drive cars, even if the driver does not need to touch the steering wheel. To support my reasonings would include what Google cofounder Sergey Brin has developed and thought about. The cars that he foresees would use half the fueld of today's taxis and offer far more flexibility than a bus. Secondly would be that of the Toyota Prius that uses position-estimating sensors on the left rear wheel which would allow you to estimate how far away or close you are to a curb or another vehicle. Lastly would be the safety that the car would be capable of.
The first reason behind my opinion is that it would be less cost effective in the long run which means that over time, you will get your money back from the car. The manufacturers have thought of a way to allow the car to drive and think for itself and allowing the driver to relax until they get notified that they should take control. Cars that are smarter will allow you to save more money and cost less mechanically, as well as save on fuel.
Secondly, would be sensors and displays in the car that allow you to focus on the task at hand when you are driving. Dr. Werner Huber, a BMW project manager driver said, "We have to interpret the driving fun in a new way." In the car that he is overseeing, it uses heads-up displays and information systems that will notify you of an accident ahead or a roadblock that calls for a detour. The displays can be automatically turned off which is something not available to drivers who are texting and driving. Another detail would be that of manufacturers consideration of using cameras to watch the driver to make sure that the driver is paying attention if he or she needs to take control of the car. If the driver is paying attention to the road, then he will not need to be notified and or have the company of that car be notified. It allows the driver to pay closer attention to the road and not his surroundings.
Lastly would be that of safety. Safety is a number one priority in cars and in life as a whole. If your car is safer to drive on the highway, it will reduce the cause of accidents and save you and others around you money. That is why manufacturers are considering using displays that will automatically turn themselves off so that the driver does not get distracted behind the wheel and cause a serious accident. GM has developed driver's seats that vibrate when the vehicle is in danger of backing into an object, which would then notify the driver that they are too close to an object and that they should stop immediately and look at their surroundings. All of the little gadgets that are put into this car as well as other cars, are allowing the driver to pay better attention to the road and the objects around him. Cars are getting smarter by the year which is reducing the number of accidents per day. Which is why driverless cars are a must for safety.
The reasons stated above show how and why that driverless cars are a must for everyday life as we know it. They save you money by not having to pay so much for gas everytime you have to fill up. The car is being driver by the hardware that is inside of it and it will notifiy if you need to take over and steer. The last reason is safety. If the car is not safe, it should not be on the road. Driverless cars are allowing the driver to pay closer attention to the road as well as what is happening around him better than if he had all the lights in his face and his phone placed in the cup holder or in his lap. The driverless car is being developing to become something greater and more useful for everyday human life. This shows how and why driverless cars are a must for everyday life and why I agree with the developement and manufacturing of these cars. | 5 |
1e1bb4e | Electoral college should be changed to election by popular vote for the president. Because of electoral college electors tried changing votes in favor of the opponent because sometimes they werent located where they wanted to be. Passage 3: In defense of the Electoral College states that the electoral college is a non democratic method of selecting a president that ought to be overruled by delaring the candidate who receives the most popular votes the winner. On passage 2:The indefensable electoral college says under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of the president.
Electoral college should be replaced withe the election by popular vote for the president because electoral college is causing to much crisis. For example, on source 2: The indefensible electoral college says that if you lived in Texas and you wanted to vote for John Kerry, you'd vote for a slate of 34 Democratic electors pledged to Kerry even though you are not voting for electors just for John Kerry. Electoral college makes you or forces you to do things you arent aware of.
If electoral college replaced with the vote of the President i'll find it pretty fair because I dont think the President of the United States is going to cheat on the election of the electors. Every vote should be fair. Since electors can be anyone the electoral college process seems unfair to me. on source 2 says that the best argument against the electoral college is what we might call the disaster factor. People should be fair when voting. | 2 |
1e1d55f | Dear Florida Senator,
Would you like to vote, or do you feel obligated to vote? I personally want my vote to make a difference. I would want to keep the Electoral College because it expess others to vote and to have freedom of speech of knowing which candidate would be better to control our world of which we live in. If you are willing to vote, choose carefully and be percise with your answer. Don't let others get in your way, it's your choice and time, so express a political preference rather than deciding an election.
First of all, voting is all about the candidates, try to understand and know the candidates before voting. "Voters sometimes get confused about the elctors and vote for the wrong candidate." If you didn't know the candidates and voted the wrong candidate, then your vote may make a difference and you would have to wait patiently for four years intill your able to vote again for a different candidate.
Secondly, If you don't want to waste your time and thinking that your vote would not make a difference, then I'm sure others feel the same way. "A large state gets more attention from presidential candidates in a campaign than a small state does." Every state should get the equal amount of attention then any other state, and it should all be about the electors by sharing their own opinions.
Thirdly, Candidates should think about their electors and keeping this world safe and sercure for us rather than just wanting to be in the white house. "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." It's great that the candidates are appreciative by the electors and wanting our vote to count.
In conclusion, we cannot control electors who wants to vote for a candidate that others may dissagree on, but we can control our own vote.
It's your decision whether to vote or not and who do you approve for. Your vote can make a difference and every bit counts. So there is a reason to have the Electoral College. | 1 |
1e23fee | The other is presenting the dangerous of venus. Exploring venus can be very dangerous because of high tempetures and air can be like preasure of below sea level. People never make it there becasue of preasure and tempeture its avery risky and dangerous job to do. On the other hand Venus has value not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also intimidating endeavors. scientist still dont know what the safest way to get up there without anyone dying.
But eventually they will have what it takes and will get up there like champions. In the world we are living today anything is possible you can be whatever you want but as long as you try hard and suceed on what your working on. others wont care but these scientist will do there best to explore venus and get every bit out of it. | 1 |
1e26ea8 | I am against driverless cars. I feel this way because they will cost to much, there would be loss in jobs in the bmv, and if it cant get around roadblocks then why whould they be a good option.
Firstly the cost of driverless cars would be greater than normal cars now with all of the maitenence and the cost of aquaring the car. If something were to go wrong you would need to go to someone who specilizes in those types of cars. All of the high-tech gadgets in the car would cost way to much to replace. ot only the cost but what about the people who make a living off of making normal cars.
Secondly there are millions of people around the world that rely on making, and maintaning cars that would be put out of enployment because they wouldn't know how to get all of the gear into the car let alone up keeping them. Also people who make a living on making sure people know how to drive a car would be or of a job because no one would be interested in driving the would just let the car do it for them. The cars wouldn't be able to manuver around rodeblocks and accidents so whats the use for a car that doesn't know how to manuver around natural events.
Finaly natural occurences will happen and us as motorisses would need to know how to manuver around them. Imagen you're driving down a country road
at night when all of the sudden boom a deer walks out onto the road; its already
hard enough to avoid a deer when us as people are driving and even then we reduse our speed greatly when it happens so if we were to hit that deer the inpact wouldn't be that dangorous. What would the car do keep going at the same speed? If it does that one dear could kill who knows how many people in the car along with destroying the tech that comes along with it. Another situation would be what if there is a natural disaster like a hurricane and the city or town is evacuating; now lets say that there was a crash along the way and the cars don't know how to get around it, but nether do the people driving because they have relied on the cars to do the driving; no one would be able to escape the city before the hurricane because they had developed a relience on the cars.
These reasons are why I personaly thing that driverless cars should be kept in hollywood and in books because: the cost would be to high, jobs would be lost in manufactoring and upkeeping of the cars, and if the cars couldn't get around an accident or construction what good would it be. | 4 |
1e29434 | Informing citizens about the advantage of limiting car usage. Is a greatt thing to do. why you think limiting car usage is a great think. Becase car case airpolluton. limiting car usage stop airpolluton. Also a huge way to gate people to walk ,ride bike,and workout.
First,in passage one showe that life can still go on whtout the ues of car. This is clear when Rosenthal write in paragharp three "when I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way". this show that the prason is mush happier whitout he/she car. This clarey show that limiting car usage can make you lass tense on the stree.
Next,driving car can hrat the air and cause airpollution around us. In source two it inform that France was full of smog cause by car. This is cleary in paraghap 9, when "Paris typically has more smog than other European capitals". this qoute show how car caese the air in paris to smog also caeseing airpollution in other citys. This evidence show that limiting car usage can stop airpollution and better think of the plant.
To add on to on day without the use of car is a good think. where everyone stop use there car gust of one day. This is show in source three where car-free day is big hit in bogota. this clear in when selsky write in paraghap 4, "It'sv a good opportunit to take away stress and lower air pollution,"said businessman car | 3 |
1e2c5f1 | Driveless cars are coming. Through the passage it has stated that companies are working on building cars that drive by themselves. I feel that this idea of driverless cars are somewhat pleasing. In 2009 Google created cars that drove more than a million miles with crashing; some people can't even drive to the store without crashing or almost being in one.
The idea of driverless cars to me is appealing. My reasonings for this is because now a day people are way to distracted while driving and are less careful. Through the advancements in technology adults and teens spend a lot more time looking at their phones than on the roads. Most accidents these days are caused from people being unware of what's in their surrounding areas while driving. My father has always told me that "when driving down just looking in from of you keep your eyes on your surroundings, because are reckless behind the wheel this generation'. What my father told me is true. Today if you were to be driving you wouldn't be suprized to see someone either talking on their phone or texting, because people are reckless and feel that since they're in a vehicle they will be safe, or that if something was to happen that could instictly grab control of the wheel and avoid the collision.
Another I feel that driverless are a good thing is because of the weather. I the state that I live in the weather could be sunny and warm for one day then you look at the news for a follow up weather report and within two days it's cloudy with a eighty percent chance of snow. Weather conditions can get very bad and hard to manuver in so a car that has been designed to detect the danger of out-of-control skids and rollovers would be a huge safety advantage. Also, with the upgrade in sensors cars would be able to aplly brakes on idividual wheels and reduce the power from the egine, allowing far better response and control than a human driver could manage alone.
In the passage is states that some people questioned 'Why would anyone want a driverless car that still needs a driver? Wouldn't drivers get bored waiting for their turn to drive?". To what I've observed through the years people what new advancements especially in vehicles. In the past before turning signals drivers would put their arms outside of the windows. Not to long ago if drivers weren't sure how to get somewhere they used a map, now all they have to do is tell their siri in the car where they what to go and siri looks it up and puts the directions into the gps. The main idea of what I'm saying is people strive for change especially change that makes their live easier so when driverless cars are actually on the roads everyone will get used to it justy like how when cars were first invented people had to get used tpo driving. | 3 |
1e32873 | The article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" explains many of the ideas, whys and dangers of exploring Venus. The article does pretty well at explaining these main ideas.
The article goes on to referance the dangers of exploring Venus. The Article states that being on the ground of Venus is the most dangerous part. This is proved in Paragraph 3 of the article, stating that the atmosphere could crush anything that lands there. It is further proved by how hot it is there, "800 Degrees Fahrenheit".
The article starts to refer to the why the scientist would investigate and try to study Venus. The reason that scientist are so interesting in Venus is because it seems to have had water on it which could indicate life. It is also one of the nearest option for planetary visit.
The Article then goes into the ideas that "NASA" has to observe Venus with humans insted of them only using robots and drones. It states that NASA has an idea to have a blimp like structure floating 30 miles up from the ground of Venus.
The Author supports all these ideas and seems to agree to the idea of exploring Venus. Everything that was in the article was supported by facts and not by personal opinion. | 2 |
1e32b1d | Do you ever think that exploring a planet far from home is worth it? Astronauts take on the challenege to travel to Venus and to explore the mysteries of the planet. The author supports the idea of taking the challenge to Venus by stating that the planet is worth studying for regardless of what dangers pursue them.
Most astronauts from NASA are fascinated about the idea of the exploration of Venus. In article it says," Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it way 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." In addition, it also says," Some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions." There are a lot of astronauts in NASA that are willing to take on the challenge to Venus and NASA has already been simulatiing prototypes to withstand the conditions similar to Venus. The planet is not just fascinating. it's also really dangerous for astronauts to travel there.
Exploring Venus is really dangerous that no one will be able to survive with such harsh conditions the astronauts have to face. In the text it says, " Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere. 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." In addition, the article also states, "Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system, even though Mercury is closer to our sun." The conditions on that planet Venus are much worse than on Eath, the planet contains such heat that it is over 800 degrees Fahrenheit.
For conclusion, there are a lot of dangers and obstacles that the astronauts need to prepare for if the astronauts want to accomplish the challeneg to explore Venus. The author supports the idea of taking the challenge to Venus by stating that the planet is worth studying for regardless of what dangerspursue them. | 4 |
1e34c9d | The article "Driverless Cars Are Coming, " represents both positive and negative views on the topic of driverless cars. However, driverless cars can benefit society. Driverless cars can benefit society because they are more efficient, they prevent people from purposely driving recklessly, and they have built it safety response.
One way driverless cars can benefit society is they are potentially more efficient. For example, in paragraph 1, Google cofounder Sergy Brin explains his idea of driverless cars being the new public transportation system. The new driverless vehicles that would replace buses and taxis would use less fuel, and have more flexibility. This would be helpful with today's busy and fast moving society.
Another way driverless cars can benefit society is they can prevent people from purposely driving recklessly. For example, people who take driving lightly are a threat to other drivers, as well as pedestrains. Paragraph 7 talks about how driverless cars can control themselves, but needs human skills in order to drive through contruction or accident sites. Driverless cars minimalize the amount of time people are in control of the car, which can potentially lower accident rates.
Finally, driverless cars can benefit society because they have built in safety responses. In Paragraph 5, the author explains the use of sensors on driverless cars. Driverless cars with sensor technology can respond to danger around the car faster than a human can respond to the issue, as well as detect danger before the driver does. The sensors also control the car's brake system and engine, which allows better control if the car was about to be in an accident. With sensor technology and its response system, roads will eventually become safer for everyone.
In conclusion, driverless cars can benefit and better society. They can help keep roads safer, and can potentially be more efficient than the average car today. | 4 |
1e3e3ac | What the author was suggesting when he was saying venus is dangerous but a worthy pursuit. Was that no spacecraft survived more that a couple of hours on venus. The atmosphere was dangerous to people. It has the hottest surface temperature.
The first reason you cant go onto Venus is because no spacecraft lasted more than a couple of hours on Venus. If a spacecraft couldn't survive on Venus there is no way that a human can survive.
The second reason that man cannot be on Venus is because the atmosphere is dangerous to humans. The atmosphere is almost 97 percent cardon dioxide. Which is deadly to humans. Its like being trapped in an small airtight box with no holes.
The last reason that humans can't be on Venus is because it also has the hottest surface temperature of all the planets. While also having many active volcanoes, earthquakes and more frequent lightning strikes.
So in conclusion no human can last very long on Venus, making it interesting but hard to research do to that no spacecraft survived more that a couple of hours on Venus. The atmosphere is dangerous to people. It has the hottest surface temperature. | 2 |
1e41c9b | Driverless cars seem to be extremely close to releasing to the public. Many companies have been working on driverless cars for years. These cars have great potential to change the world of transportation. The cars have positive and negative aspects, but I believe that driverless cars will be a positive effect on the world.
Driverless cars could change the transportation. It would make it easier to go place to place. Driverless cars could prevent accidents from occurring in everyday traffic. These cars would be much safer than a car with a reckless driver. Millions of car accidents happen every year, but driverless cars could potentially prevent most of these accidents. With a driverless car, the passengers are safer because the car is programmed to work well. If there was an emergency, someone could take the wheel and have control of the car.
Driverless cars have great potential for public transportation. Driverless cars could act like a taxi or bus system. This system of driverless cars would safe people money by not owning their own car. It would be safer to have many of these cars. Millions are killed in drunk driving accidents, and these cars would give potential drunk drivers an alternative way to get home safely. These cars could be used in a public transportation system to help people travel in their every day lives.
Driverless cars are approaching quickly, and there must be decisions made on their involvement of people's lives. These cars would be safer than reckless drivers on the road. These cars have a potiental of changing public transportation, and they would make it more convenient and safer for others. Although there are some negatives to driverless cars, the amount of positive aspects outweigh the negative aspects. Driverless cars should be developed and reach the public. | 3 |
1e44008 | The driverless cars would be something people would like to have but they may not be very safe. There is the same amount of negative aspects as well as positive aspects of the cars. I am mostly against the the development of the driverless cars.
The cars have sensors to alert the drivers if they are heading towards something dangerous or the car deal with the circumstance they're in. The cars have gone miles without crashing but still need a driver. What if the car is in traffic issues where the driver needs to be in control and the sensor is broke and can't alert the driver? The driver could stop paying attention for one second and the car could wreck. The sensors could also malfunction and run into something when it was supposed to brake.
The car also vibrates and has flashing lights to warn the driver. The vibration and lights could become dull and the driver may not notice them. The driver could then wreck or get hurt because he or she didn't know they were supposed to drive or not.
There are not laws to protect someone if there is an accident. The car could fail and no one would know who to blame. It is illegal to drive these cars in most states because they're not fully safe. What if someone thinks they're safe and the laws pass to where people can drive them but they malfunction? Who would get in trouble? The driver or the manufacturer?
Even though they could be safer than a person driving, the car is still not completely safe. There are good qualities of the car like the warning signs and the entertainment while people aren't driving but those could break. The technology of the car could fail and hurt someone or multiple people. Some could think that the car is durable but they would still need to take precautions. | 3 |
1e44652 | Making Mona Lisa Smile Essay
In the passage Making Mina Lisa Smile using detail from the text its asking me to discuss whether the use of technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a
classroom is valuable and from the text i have pulled out a couple of facts to support my anwser ,my first reason is that in paragrapgh four its says the facial expressions for each emotion are universal observes Dr.Huang, even though individuals often show varying degrees of expression , well that statement right there gives us a idea on how every emotion is differnt and unique in it's own way and an example to support my first respone
is in paragrapgh 5 it says for instance, you can probably tell how my friend is feeling simply by the look on her face, Of course ,most of us would have trouble actually describing each facial trait that conveys happy,worried and etc, Artist like sanVinci studied humananatomy to help them paint facial muscles precisely enought to convet specific emotions.
The monta lisa
demostration is really intended to bring a smile to your face, while showing just how much this computer can do , Dr.Huang
predicts that it could modify the lessom like am effective human instructoe, The same technology can make a computer-animated faces more expressive- for videogames or video surgery.
In the passage its stated that after the Facial feedback theroy of emotion, but also may even help produce them. | 2 |
1e48979 | Cars are a very nice thing to have, they are fast and they take you places that you want to go to. Cars come in a variety of colors and shapes. The thing about cars that you probably didn't know is that they pollute. Polluting is a very bad thing, everyday we're breathing in chemicals from cars that pollute. Doesn't sound very good now, does it? Cars are extreamly expensive too!
Cars cost thousands of dollars. Now, lets think for a minute, what if you didn't have a car? You wouldn't be able to get to places fast enough, you won't be on time to where you are trying to go. Well, you see, there are things called bikes and buses. It might not be as fast but, you'll still get there. Their are a lot of advantages of not having a car. You don't have to pay for insurance, You don't have to worry about accidents, You also don't have to worry about polluting the environment. In Vauban, Germany many people do not own cars. Atleast 70% of them do not own cars. Did you know that about 57% of the people in Vauban, Germany sold there cars so they could move to Germany?
In Paris, people enforced a partial driving ban to clear out some of the pollution. If you drove in your car you would have to pay a $31.00 dollar fee. That day, about 4 thousand drivers were fined. Wow! that is a lot of people to be fined for driving. Is it easy for you to imagine a car-free zone, where nobody is driving, and the roads are free of cars? Believe it or not, a lot of people like the idea of a car-free zone. In Columbia, people had banned cars for 3 straight years! Now, that is a long time to not be able to use a car. There was still transportation of course such as, biking, roller skating, walking, and even buses. I mean, you can't walk every where, right?
Even when it rained the people still didn't use cars, and it rained a lot. Not having a car takes away the pollution of the air and stress because, I can imagine having a car would be stressfull due to money you have to pay for gas and insurance. Their was about 118 miles of biking paths that people could take to get around. Stores were moved to be closer to people so they wouldn't have to travel so far. As each year goes by, americans are driving less, buying fewer cars and getting fewer licenses. I guess it's suggested that we don't use cars as much due to air pollution but i dont thing that is going to stop everyone in the world from driving their cars. I think we should cut down on driving every where and maybe car pool instead or take a bus, that way not everyone is driving and there will be less pollution. People will of course still drive cars and cars will pollute the air but, it is not going to stop us from driving. | 3 |
1e54327 | The use of this technology would be very valuble to students in a classroom. This software has many benefits that could help a teacher know when a student is struggling with his or her work. While this technology is still new, it opens up a ton of new benefits in the world of education. With this technology, it could be a lot easier for a child to learn when the computer knows what the child is struggling with. The data collected from the computer could be a crutial part in a students
education. This new technology would be very valuble in a classroom.
The article says, "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored." If a computer could see how a student feels, the computer could adjust the work to make it easier or even harder for the student. "Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication." Computers can use this technology to see when a student in a classroom understands what he or she is doing and adjust the work so that he or she can learn better. This new technology can revolutionize the world of education.
This new technology could be extreamly valuble in a classroom. The benefits of this technology can change the way that students learn for the better. In a classroom, the teacher doesn't always know if the student understands their work or not, but now the computer can do it for the teacher. The computer can tell if the student is confused or bored, so it can adjust the questions to fit the students needs. This technology is revolutionary and can change the world of education for the better. | 3 |
1e54a02 | Facial Action Coding System I think is a good idea because if someone is trying to figure out how you are feeling and you don't tell them they can look on the computer and tell what your emotions are. In the passage it tells that the computer is 3-D and has 44 major muscle. This tell us that if a friend is feeling a way you can tell and you would actually know itts true and not false. In paragraph one it explains to me that there are six basic emotions and they are happiness, surprise , anger ,and ect. For example your frontalis muscle above your eye raises your eyebrows when you are surprise. Some people wouldnt think that this is possible but I think its something good.
When a student is looking at the computer they can pick up all emotions like if you have mixed emotions or just one. Someimes teachers want to know how they students are feeling but just don't want to walk up to the and just ask. This computer I think was a wonderful thing that someone can make. If I ever had this computer it would be very useful to me because want to know how others feel.
Some people who try to just look at someone and tell how they are feelings is not always helpful they might think its one thing but its another. Most people are not just good by going off someone's look but this computer can help out alot you don't need to try and guess what that person is feeling. Evan when some artist are trying to draw a ppersons emotion they don't always know either they would also need the computer . Dr. Huang says in te story that Da Vinci has and comuter when he draw so that he could get the specific factial expression.
If I was to get one of these computes i would like to use it on everyone around me because I love to see people happy and if they are not I would like to make there day. If I am taking a test and I get confused I know that the computers see that and the teacher would know and try to help me out a little. Using these can help everyone out in so many differen ways.
Eveyone should have one of these or get an computer lie this one. If you really need to know about smeone you just would look on it to see what it is. This would be good when a school have a play and the people that are watching them need or want to figure out how the characters feel. | 3 |
1e5bfd5 | In the article "A Cowboy Who Rode the Waves" Luke was a young seventeen-year-old boy who couldn't turn down the opportunity of a lifetime to go to Europe and help with the horses.
Some of the reasons to join the seagoing cowboys is that they get to see tons of awesome landmarks. If you love horses and cattle then is most likely the job for you. You get to enteract with them and feed them care for them like they were your own. Even if you just want to help out your world out then this could be the job for you.
It's amazing how much stuff you can do there to when the jobs done you might be able to look at the pretty things there. Sometimes if your lucky you have to go right through town so you get to see the pretty things on the way there. When it's time to go back home you play games where the horses were cared for. If seagoing cowboys were still around I would love to be one so badly. It would be so cool if I could be one too.
In conclusion, all i'm saying is that the seagoing cowboys would be something worth doing and worth while. You can go so many places and you rarely go to the same place ever. It sounds so cool and you never know where you'll go, hey you might just go to Egypt and see the pyrimids you just never know. | 2 |
1e6a5d8 | I am for driverless cars although I do see some problems that could be adressed when it comes to notifying the driver and ways to keep the driver alert. Also the safety of the car needs to be exactly the same like a regular car. But other than a few "kinks" here and there I think that this could be a great thing for the people who can but can't drive.
My position on driverless cars. My position on driverless cars is that I'm for them although they could have some issues. Like in paragraph seven lines twelve and thirteen I think that the cars should have more than a announcement about them needing to take the wheel. For example what if the driver falls asleep what would happen if the announcement doesn't wake the driver up? It would more than likely result in an accident or even a possible death. Also the price worries me I think the price will be too high for several to afford it making it hard for the people that could really use it to be able to.
There are multiple good sides to this though for example teenagers can drive safer because the car does it for them until they need to manualy take over. For elders who can't see very well or can't drive anywhere this would help them to get to places they need to go for example the grocery store and the pharmacy and the doctors. People would get around much easier and much more efficiently.
So in conclusion there are more good sides than bad ones. Im all for the the developement of these cars. I hope they get out soon. Although I am worried they will be so expensive that barely anyone will be able to afford them. | 3 |
1e7551f | Do you know how smart a computer is, or how efficient it is compared to the human brain? You cant even compare the two, its just not an even fight. Now when you put it into perspective, human error has made car crashes one of the leading cause of death today. So I'm in firm belief that "driverless cars" is not only safer, more effiecient but would be the future to cars.
First not only has a computer controlled car never taken a life, but it has never crashed. Now the word "never" is a bold word since not everything is certain, but the calculation and sensors of a computer controlled car has made the "driveless car"
never crash since its debut in 2009 as said in paragraph 2 "Google had cars that could drive indepnedently under specific conditions since 2009. Their cars have driven more than half a million of miles without a crash,.." How fast do you think is your reaction time? And do you do well against pressure? Well if you are driving, countless situation like these would soon come your way. Now if you were a computer, your reaction time is a blur and you have no pressure to worry about. As stated in paragraph 5 " .. those sensors had become more advanced to detect and respond to the danger of out -of-control skids or
rollovers." In those situation, people would just brace themselves and pray for low medial bills after the accident. Now if the driverless car drove, these things can be avoided endlessly.
Second, driverless cars are more efficient. Theres just no other way to put it. As stated in paragraph 1 "...would use half the fuel of today's taxis and offer far more flexibility than a bus." You ask where is the logic to that? Well, humans tend to speed up and slam their brakes constantly while driving. But with a driverless car, all they would need is calculation. Imagine a world where there are just full of driverless cars. If they are all controlled by computer and have the same calculations, most traffic jams would be resolved. . Not only would there be no hassle but it would be safer, and much more convienient for everyone.
Last, it had stated in paragraph 8 the following: "The psychological aspects of automatin are are really a challenge," "We have to interpret the driving fun in a new way." What that means is if and only if this driverless car is perfected, and it would need support, not only would you be able to watch your favorite show on the way to work, but it would revolutionize the way we spend our time. Since due to constant driving, and traffic, we spend so much time on the wheel. If we take that out, we would have countless hours
of free time!
In conclusion, I think driverless cars are having a bad name since it is not fully "driverless." But there is no doubt is it SO much safer. As the cofounder of on the most influential company "Google" Sergey Brin stated in paragraph 1 "He believes such cars would fundamentally change the world"
So if the driverless car would get more support and have more funds in it's developement, it would be safer, more efficient and is the the future to cars.Now if we didnt have to drive anymore and the driverless car was pefected, what would you spend your time on? | 4 |
1e762ef | The Author suggests that studying venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. There's many unknown plants and other objects in the universe that humans haven't studied yet. So why not get knowlegde from the universe and get to know it better.
In studying theres always curiosity, or wanting to know more things. Even traveling, but there's always a "but" or "what if ". In paeagraph 5 it says "The National Aerovautics and Space Administration( NASA) has one particularly compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus." In this sentence NASA wants people to got to Venus and study. But Earth and Venus are two different palnts with different pressure levels and oxygen levels. It's not easy to be there but it is "surviable for humans."
The Universe is so much bigger than it is expect. Probably only 5% is explored, and the other 95% is yet to be explored. Earth, Venus, and Mars is known becasue Earth is next to those planets. But what about the other planets? Paragraph 8 " Our traveks in Earth and beyond should not be limited by the dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." Yes, studying Venus is a worthy pursit despite the dangers that can be present. | 2 |
1e76917 | In my opinion, yes that would be very helpful and valuable to have that type of technology in our classrooms. heres why.
A lot of students hide all of their emotions and hold them inside and that sometimes can make us do crazy irrational things, like shooting up a school full of kids. If we had this technology we could figure out how a student feels and try our best and do whatever we can to help them before it gets to that point. If we had that technology we would be able to get a student into counciling or to a therapist or just to a close friend to talk to because who knows that could save that students life. If we knew what was bothering students or knew that there was something bothering a student we could maybe avoid all of those student v. s. teacher fights that happen because that student isnt in the right mindset and that teacher had no idea.
Another reason why that type of technology would be useful is learning. Say a student was doing some school work on a computer and they start falling asleep because the content is so boring. If we had that type of technology the computer could change the way the content is being presented into a wat that is more interesting and exciting to the student. Every student learns differently and if we had that technology then we all could excel in school.
Not only could we learn better and help the teachers understnad us better we could understand the people around us better. We could learn how to recognize those faces and understand how the person we are talking to is really feeling. Not only that we could make a whole new lie detector test for authorities. If they had those they could truely find out if someone is guilty because as the passage said faces dont lie. Maybe if we had that type of technology helping the law the crime rate would go down emencely because if criminals knew that no matter what they did they would always fail this test if they lied they wouldnt commit those crimes and risk getting caught.
In conclusion, having this technology could help the world beyond our imagination. If we had this, maybe, just maybe our dreams for a better place might start to become true. | 4 |
1e860bc | Driveless cars is not a smart idea. Its a posiablity that the so called "Smart Car" could malfuncition while someone is in it and cause a crash or even death to the passangers.
Yes, its true that there are cars now that can break one their own, warn the driver if something is in close contact and more. How ever, the entire time there is a driver in control at ALL TIMES. There is not a moment where the car alone is moving. Another reason driveless cars is not a wise desision is that its illegal to even test drive one in many places. For exsample; Califorina, Nevada Florida, and the District of Colimbia. Alose, law makers know that saftey is best achived with alert drivers.
Smart cars are not so smart. They in danger lives with un-foced drivers, and are not even ligel everywhere. Humans are not ready for such an advanced way of transpertation quite yet. Possiably in the future, but as of right now that would be a no to smart car techonolgy. | 2 |
1e88fb2 | I honestly think that we don't need driverless cars. My reasoning for that is if the younger generation of people grow up on driveless cars how will they ever learn what it was like to grow up on cars that you had to drive yourself . All the research that these people are doing to try and make driverless cars actually work is extremely outragous.
They are using special designed tracks for the cars. GM used a track that was embedded with an electrical cable that sent radio signals to a receiver on the front end of the car. Engineers at a university tried something similar, but they used magnets with alternating polarity which can read the positive and negative polarity as messages.
With all of that It requires massive upgrades to existing road. It would also make the driver very bored behind the wheel. Most states make it illegal to drive cars like that. Some states on hte other hand like California, Nevada, Florida, and the District of Columbia have led the country in allowing limited use of semi-autonomous cars.
Honestly I feel it is a waste of the manufactures time trying to create a car like that. For example if the car had a malfuntion and somebody got injured The company that sold them the car can be suid just as well as the manufactures. That is why I don't think that they should a driverless car. | 2 |
1e8c487 | Dont you think that having driveless cars will cause many problems? For instance driveless cars would be like schools that dont teach. Teachers would be there but they wouldnt do anything but sit there. Therefore no student would learn. So i dont think that it is a good idea to have driveless cars.
One reason i dont think that there should be driveless cars is because it would cause problems with the manufacture of the car and the owner of the car. I say that because in the passage it states that " maufactures are aslo considering using cameras to watch that drivers are remaining focused on the road." That is invasion of privacy. Therfore the company and the maufacture of the car can be sued. And im pretty sure that no company would want to gert sued for having cameras on the inside of a car that watched the driver.
Another reason why i feel that there should not be driveless cars is because cars would no longer be fun for people to have. By that i mean most people like to divr they say its fun and it gives the something to do. But if there was driveless cars they wouldnt get to drive. They would just sit in the car and wait untill the car gets to the destination. So how is that fun? It would only be fun if there was a button or a switch that the owner could use to change the cars settings so that when they want to drive they can sand when they dont want to drive they dont have to.
The last reason i dont feel that driveless cars are a good idea is because there is no promises yet that there will ever be a driveless car. For example if a person is looking to buy a car and they go to a car dealership and the person trying to sell them a car says it drives on its own and the person buys the car. When they get to drive it they see that it only drives on its own at certain times. Dont you think that is real misleading? I mean there is no way that a company cant get sued for that. I say that because the company sold a car to someone that was suppose to "drive by itself" but it doesnt drive on its own therfore it is misleading and can cause major problems for the company.
And those are only some of the reasons on why i feel that there should not be driveless cars. They will cause to many problems with car companies and the owners of the cars. They will take all of the fun out of being able to drive cars. And if there is no promise that the car will be completly driveless and a company says it is then it could cause companies to loose a lot of money. So for everyone that thinks they should make a car that is driveless dont do it. | 4 |
1e8cded | No! The Face found on Mars is not formed by aliens. The Face found on Mars was just a natural landform. Landforms like the Face are found very commonly, but not all landforms found are exactly like the Face. In the next paragraph I will give you some reasons why the Face wasn't formed by aliens.
The Face found on Mars was just a natural landform. In the passage it says, when Michael Malin took pictures 10 times sharper, with his Mars Orbiter Camera, the image revealed just a natural landform. If you take a look in paragraph 2 it states that mesa, or landforms, are commonly found around Mars. Also, the Face has equivalence to landforms found around the American West. Garvin says that it reminded him of Middle Butte in thge Snake River of Idaho. "That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars",Garvin goes on to say.
The Face found on Mars was just a natural landform. The Face was not formed by aliens. Landforms such as the Face are commonly found. Information in the passage supports that the Face is just a natural landform. | 2 |
1e8d2f8 | It would be unfair to disregard this opportunity from civilians as the right to vote and not give them the chance to prove themselves on whats right for them. This actually improves presidential votes,meaning that electors are recommended to do the responsibilities that the state laws vary. It improves the presidential election and taking it away will cause chaos among electors and presidential candidates. As stated in source three, paragraph one ,"The advocates of this position are correct in arguing that the Electoral college method is not democratic in a modern sense ... it is the electors who elect the president, not the people." The meaning in this is that people vote for the people who vote people. I see no reason to take away this oppportunity though people are still voting in favor of getting the presidential candidate oneself voted for.
In my point of view i see no reason why you would cancel something without a reason in mind. The states depend on the electors to help out the president during president elections. Civilians demand to take charge on whats right for them or what will be in charge of them throughout the next four years. "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....", said richard A. posner in source three.
Though the senator may be right about one thing, some electors become opponents to the presidential candidates and oppose or defy the will of people. The electors will refuse to vote for their party's candidate and cast a deciding vote or whomever they please, as stated in source two paragraph 11.
I on the other hand depend on electoral college to proceed and do as they please because they have the right to vote for whomever they please. | 3 |
