2e1430e | "Unmasking the Face on Mars"
Was the Face created by aliens or was it just a natural landfrom on the region of the Red Planet Cydonia?
So, many question about the Face and how it was created.
But, I think personally it was a natural landform from the planet ,but my friend thinks it was created by aliens.
In my passage, im going to talk about and convince you and my friend that the Face was made by a natural landform.
The Face, was a natural landform, I know this for a fact. I know this because on April 5, 1998, when the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) flew over the Red Planet Cydonia.
They caputured a picture ten times sharper then the original Viking photos.
When, they caputured the right photo the first image appeared on a JPL website and it revealed that the Face was natural landform after all.
They didn't find any alien monument that would lead to the Face being created by aliens.
After, all those picture some people were sill not satisified people still thought it was created by aliens.
So, the mission controlled prepared another look to make sure that it was created by a natural landform.
Then on April 8,2001 it was a cloudless summer day on the Red Planet.
The Mars Global Surveyor drew a closer look which lead to what the picture actually showed.
The picture was the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa some landforms that were common around the America West.
A lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa.
So, you see the Face was really a natural landform from the beginning.
After, all that research,pictures,credits, and even second thoughts it still came out to be created by a natural landform not a alien.
Thats my opinion and I supported it. | 3 |
2e1756a | Children in the near future could learn in new and exciting ways! The use of the Facial Action Coding System can help children learn lessons that they may not understand in a classrom with one teaching method. This can be excellent for helping children with special needs, finding out how children learn best, and keeping certain problems at a low. I'd say that this can be a revolutionary change for the learning process.
Children with special needs, such as ADHD, could be able to learn beter. The machine would be able to read their expression while learning and find a way to keep them on the track they need to go. This could help people with downs too! They could calculate their expression and change the way of teaching to make them better understand what is being taought because some aren't too good at communicating verbally.
FACS could help regular chindren learn better too! They could be taought a small lesson on individual devices with FACS on it, while they learn their emotions can be calculated to test to see what way of learning best suits them. They could to this for about 10-15 minutes a day with different teaching methods. After a few weeks the computer should know what method works best for each individual student. At that poiont the time taken could teach each student indeviduallly what they need to know in the way that works best for them and can improve test scores.
The system can keep "troubble" or problems at a low. This device could keep the attention of the "troubble makers" so they dont have to gain attention elsewhere by having lessons that seem to be more fun to the child. It can also tell when a student is lying about important things like bullying and harrassment. FACS can help children with drepression too! A big problem with teens and pre-teens is that the stress of school can cause depression. The article states that pecticing emotions can make u feel that emotion. Children can go to a counselor
and have their emotion read then have proper exercises to improve their emotion.
In conclusion, FACS can help multiple probles in the learning space. It can inprove learning for children and those with special needs. It can keep certaiain problems such as troubble making children at a low. It can also help children find a way of learning that best suits them. Overall FACS cn make the learning environment a better, more fun place. | 4 |
2e1a485 | Venus is very dense and very thick with carbon-dioxide and because none of our spacecrafts can reach Venus because of the extreme temperatures of 800 degrees fahrenheit , it also can melt our spaceships like its nothing , it has volcanoes ,earthquakes , lighting because of all this our scientists can not get through the cloud of carbon-dioxide
and study moon rocks and the surface of Venus.as for NASA they are creating new ways for us to get to venus and hopefully land on the surface of it. maybe get a moon rock or two, they even are thinking about how long will our powerful machines will stay in the planets atmosphere but our spacecrafts should be made strong enough to get close enough to the surface and get some pictures and then those pictures will be sent back to NASA for further investigations for about how we can see the past and history of Venus. and thats why we will be able to get as close to Venus as we can. | 1 |
2e1b5e4 | I will say yes I think is a good idea to use the new technology "Facial Action Coding System. I think this new technology is great to use so we can find how the sudents are feeling while they are in the school with teachers or friends so thats why I think this new technology is going to be great if we used to see what are the feelings of other people while they are smiling or they using a fake smile in front of other people.
Like in this passage they are trying to make Mona Lisa smile, but I see she was not feeling really happy. What I read in this passage about how they were trying to make Mona Lisa to smile it was a good way to use the new technology. In paragraph 9 they said, "By the way, did making a happy fave in this experiment also make you feel slightly happy." another quote they use it was "According to the Facial Feedback Theory of Emotion. moving your facial muscles not only expresses amotions, but also may even help produce them in a good way."
Lastly, for these reason the new technology can do a lot for all the people. Because we can see what are they feelings and maybe we can try to help them. Another good reason this quotes can help us is because some of them explain what the "Facial Action Coding" is a good way to figure out and it is eassy to used with out hurting people or making them to feel wrong if they are making a fake smile while they are doing the process.
In conclusion what the author said it was Mona Lisa is only 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and only 2 percent angry. | 2 |
2e1bf25 | Dear. mr. sentor
The electoral college is it right that you have speaker that deside for you? when we pick a presendent when have to think about the out come ad what will change and what is he planig on doing it we elect him. Everone in office basicly decides what where going to do nobody has a say in it. They tell us where we go in war they ca start something they mihgt think they can finish but everyone will be aganist them or they decide who going to war or not and if we come home to see our family.
So think about wen we go to elect someone think about your futher and how it mhite be if they sit in the big chair. also when you go to vote do who desides if we want them to speak for our state teaxes has 34 electors to speake for you and tot ell you about how things are going to ran. But why you mhite ask? because that who you voted for with out even relizing it when you choses president you chosesing you life basicaly
When we trun 18 we all as american citezens have the right to vote but who are you voting for we leave in a non-democratic country where everthing is not ran by one person but sevral and is that right to have other poeple speak for how your life wants to be. most of you say no but that the world we live in today and all of this is based on a populaty vote.
A dispute about the outcome an Electoral collage is possible but vary hard to because you may have other poeple wanting it but may not see it your way. Every electal vote needs a presdintal vote to so if we do the math you have a state and a country aginst you so the odds arent in your favor. Now there is a method called winner takes all and it basicaly what they say gose!
Do you think you should have poeple deciding you faith? Poeple like the presedent or the electoral collage. So you may not know where your life is headed but is it ok to have them choses your life off of some vote you had no clue you picked him. well then do agree whit the electoral college.

2e1c6a8 | I feel as though driverless cars are needed and could prove very useful to society. There are many concerns as to whether or not driverless cars are necessary or not. This essay is going to tell you how they can be safer than human drivers and can help solve some problems our world faces today.
Many people are concerned with the gas consumption of cars today. They fear that since so many people drive their own cars, they have to use up more gas, which is very hard to get more of. Driverless cars could be used in a taxi service sort of way, meaning more people could use one car since there wouldn't have to be a specific seating arrangement. If more people use one car, that's less gas consumed and more gas for the future.
People are also concerned with the overall safety of driverless cars. Some main pressing concerns are crashes and whether the car would be able to know how to avoid construction zones. While these are very important concerns, the creators of driverless cars are working to make sure those problems aren't a worry. As of right now, driverless cars aren't entirely driverless. They still require a driver to avoid construction zones. However, with the way technology is advancing, it won't be long until they find out ways to help the cars avoid danger themselves without the help of drivers.
There are concerns regarding the safety and other features of driverless cars. However, these concerns can be easily solved with the advancement of technology. With technology evolving faster than we can believe, safe driverless cars won't just be a thought, they'll be a great impact on human society in the near future. Therefore, driverless cars should definitely be developed and everybody should be completely behind the development of them. | 3 |
2e1f63f | I believe that "Driverless Cars" are the next big thing to this world. Millions of people use cars today and have a chance of injury or worse. If a car could drive itself or be more alert of things around it, the problem of crashing wouldn't be there anymore. The beginning of driverless cars is already here so why be against something that has already made the world a safer place. As it says in paragraph seven that they can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves without any human touch.
The reason I am not against driverless cars is that a person close to me was saved from a car crash with a automatic brake system. If that person was to have moved alittle more without the brake system they wouldnt be here today. Another reason is if a car could drive itself there would be more time to get stuff done on the way to your destination. If your a busy worker or a kid with homework due, then during that time you could get things done.
On the other end of the argument, we haven't come that far to make a driverless car. Sometimes machines mess up and cause problems and that could happen to this. There should be a button or something like that to switch a driverless car back to a normal car. We just dont have enough technology to do a driverless car and to make one now would be dangerous.
But in the future these cars could make things alot better for the world. Car crashes wouldnt happen and the pollution from cars would be alot less because of how much gas they take. They will make the world cleaner and get you to your destination faster. In my life time I hope to see a driverless car and get to be in one. People that are not aloud to drive like the elderly or teens without a license could go anywhere without any danger.
The idea of a driverless car is just amazing and I know im not the only one that would love to see one. In the future normal cars should be tossed and recycled to be made into new driverless cars. I would feel a lot safer being behind a car that knows everything then being behind my two hands. | 4 |
2e24a93 | The Electorial Collage should continue on as a way of electing for various resons with this in play "it avoids the problem of elctions in wich no candidate recieves a majority of the voters cast"(source 3),which would reduce the complication process to produces a clear winner". Next,this has gone on for centry's its in our constitution thank's to our founding fathers (source 1) also there is less of a dispute of the outcome versus a popular vote.(source 3)
a process that simplifies the entire states personal elections is definantly a pro, senator yes this system is we the people actually voting for our state elctors but we have chosen them and they are more informed on this compromise so they should be entitled as two votes. Plus for example in wich no candidate recieves a majority of the votes cast and should be kept this is Given that the votes outway the elctorial vote with the process of the college electorial vote enshuring a fair election | 2 |
2e2a0e8 | The facial action coding system enables computer to identify human emotions, but is it a good idea to use in a classroom setting? Is the technology even accurate? Not every emotion calculated by the machine is accurate, some people may have a great poker face, also as a human being we want our privacy just like the kids. Using these machines violates the privacy of the students that want to be left alone.
The Facial Action Coding System may not be as accurate as they say it is. In the Mona Lisa, she is 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fear, and 2 percent angry. This might be accurate, but the author tells the reader that technology gave the Mona Lisa its reading are based on, "some new computer software that can recognize emotions. The software is the latest innovation..." (paraghraph 1).
This may not be true, what if she is actually 90 percent mad and 10 percent happy. New technology always has it's flaw no matter how many people did the research. The word new needs to be emphasized, because it might be wrong. You also can't base your findings on what the machine says. The article also says that, "each expression is compared against a nuetral face (showing no emotion)." (paragraph 4) Every child has a different face, you have to account to many variables when using this technology. Since all children are different, their neutral face is different also, therefore you cannot base a piece of technology on one single face.
In school not every kid wants to be part of something, not all children may want the teachers attention, and not all children want to be happy all the time. Schools need to take account to the kids that might not want to be bothered by the teacher. Some just want to go to school with a blank face and get through the day and get out.
The machines will lack the privacy that kids need. Everyone wants their privacy, and having technology that scan childrens faces isn't exactle private. Schools should be a place where kids can feel safe going. By implementing that technology, you are taking a part of their privacy away, thus the child might not feel safe anymore.
The facial Action Coding System should not be used in a school setting because it is a new technology that may not even be accurate in its reading, and it takes away the privacy of the kids that it is being used on. | 4 |
2e2e458 | What if something goes wrong? The driverless cars are a good idea, but I don't think they are going to be safe. The article gives its negatives and positive things about the driverless cars, but in my opinion I don't think is a good idea to manufacture these cars. The driverless cars are not a good idea because what if something goes wrong with the technology of the car, they even have to change things in the law and add, driverless cars don't sound safe as it seems.
The driverless cars are not a good idea becuase what if something goes wrong with the technology of the car, like the passage says, if the technology fails and someone is injured, who is it fault the driver or the manufacture. If the driver gets in the accident and they don't know if the technology failed or if it was the drivers fault, it would be a mess becuase if the driver doesn't want to pay becuase its too expensive and the factory that made doesn't wanto to pay either they will have to go to court. Technology is not always perfect so I don't think they should use technology in a car just because some people don't want to drive.
They have to change a few thing in the law, according to the article most driving laws focus on keeping the passengers, drivers, and pedestrians safe. One of the laws is that the driver has control at all times, with the driverless car you are not the only one in control the car is too, so like I said early what if the technology of the car fails. Even if traffic law changes, new laws have to be establish in order to cover liability in case of an accident. To make the changes in the law it would be another mess and a lot of arguments to say to make it happen. These are different cars so they would have to change and add more laws.
The driverless cars don't sound so safe because the driver is not the only one in control, the car is too. The article says that the driver has its eyes on the road and the car on the driver, but if the technology fails and the car makes a mistake and becuase of the car mistake the driver would be paying the consequences of that mistake. Everybody makes mistakes so if the factory that was making the cars makes a lot of mistakes on the cars and nobody catches the problems, its going to make a lot of people pay that mistake.
The driverless cars are not a good idea becuase they don't sound safe as it seems, it has a lot of negatives things that can cause a lot of problems, and they have to change and add things to the law. | 4 |
2e312fd | It talked about you get to travel all around the world and you get to help sick and injuired animals that are in danger. the next thing it talked about was you get to be a cowboy and you get to ride a bull, or a cow.
The other thing it said you will get to feed 335 horses hay plus oats. It said Luke was eightteen before they got to arrive at Greece and they got to go to China, and Greece. The other thing it talked about was you get to be a seagoing cowboy and you get to help any animal that is in need. the next thing it talked about was you get to go see cows, and bulls and you get to see exchange students, and exchange visitors for many years. the next thing it talked about was you get to see pepole playing table-tennis, tourments, fencing, boxing, reading, whittiling, and games also helped pass the time. The last thing it talked about was you get to ride a boat and Luke got prepared by helping his aunt on her farm by taking care of a lot of animals. The last thing it talked about was you get to ride a slippery slide and you get to check on every animal every hour. The end. | 1 |
2e3312c | Have you evr wanted to help take care of animals on a boat, or even go see places that you have never seen before? Well then, you should come join the Seagoing Cowboys program. Thia will allow you take care of animals travel to different places, and trust me I have been on there it is very fun. If you are not persuaded enough let me give you 4 reasons why you should join.
The UNRRA ( United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration) hired ¨Seagoing Cowboys¨ to take care of the horses, young cows, and mules that were shipped over seas. Now imagine that, while the animals were over seas the probably got hurt. Wouldn´t you want to help them I know I would. There were night watchmen, his job was to check on all the animals every hour. That sound like alot of work but it´s not.
Here is another reason, besides helping people, I had the side benefit of seeing Europe and China. I bet you haven´t seen Europe or China. Wouldn´t you like to see there lifestyle there clothes and all the other stuff they have. Probably learn a new language. But seeing the Acropolis in Greece was special. It really was special all of ther colors were beautiful.
My last reason is, after we unloaded the animals we had alot of fun. We played baseball and volleyball games in the empty holds where animals had been housed. Table-tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and games also helped pass the time. Now that is fun, all the time you were takig the animals back you had to keep an eye on them, but when they were unloaded you would have alot of fun.
But being a Seagoing Cowboy was much more than an adventure for me. It opened up the world to me. I´m grateful for the opportunity, it mad me aware of people of other countries and their needs. This is why I think you should come and join Seagoing Cowboy program, trust me you will have fun. | 3 |
2e37b89 | If you join the Seagoing Cowboys you will experance some awesome things. Like ittly's linging tower of puzza.
I wus a Seagoeing Cowboy for selvel years of my life and i loved it. Takeing care of anmales that i love to differnt conyerys. It's a big opturanty to some thing great with your life.
The best thing about being a seagoeing cowboy is seeing that you are making a differance in some bothys life.
On the way back from your joney thay have lots of activets.
thars boxing in the pen's of anmails if you win you will get braging rifhts in tell some one bets you. There wus also lots of other things to do like the table tenaces turments thear wer soo fun to do to try to beet the best on the boat. There wus also Baceball,Volleyball,Reading,Whittling,Thease games helped to pass the time on the way back.
Thats why i think you shold joine the seagoing cowboys.
Its alys fun on the way back to the U.S.A.
.The Seagoing Cowboys is more than just an adventure for any one its a story.
going the seagoinging cowboys is a once in a life optunaty it's fun but also dangeras and a hard working job. thois are some reasins why you shold joine the Seagoing Cowboys. | 2 |
2e3ae1a | In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author believes that studying Venus is worth the unknown dangers that could be present. However, for scientists to actually understand and learn more about the planet, it is important that somebody willfully agrees to take the expedition.
In paragraph 3, the author speaks about the many difficulties a spacecraft must endure in order to reach the planet. He says, "A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus.". He also states that, "On the planets surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet." These conditions are much more extreme than anything humans would experience on Earth. The author even talks about how a submarine that dives the deepest depths of the sea, would be crushed by the enviroment.
Although Venus is home to some of the most severly dangerous conditions, still, the planet has some traits in common with Earth. The planet has similar features such as; valleys, mountains, craters, and a rocky sediment surface. Knowing that Venus has such familiar characteristics, makes the idea of traveling there much more possible. NASA has ideas to make the journey scientifically productive, yet safe. In paragraph 5, the author says, "NASAs possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray. Imagine a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape.". This allows scientists to get a good look at what is happening on the planet without having to endure the harsh conditions at the surface.
While this seems like a good loop hole to the dangerous climate, scientists would only be able to observe limited findings. They found that classic videography and photography from such a great distance would not do the planet's true form justice; nor would the explorers be able to take rock samples, gas, or anything else from this distance. For this reason, NASA is working on new ideas to get even closer while still keeping safe. In the 6th paragraph, the author states that, "Many researchers are working on innovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowledge of Venus.".
Despite the dangers this type of expedition is capable of, Scientists should not be held back. It is important that explorers successfully make a pruductive voyage. As the author says in paragraph 8, "human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors." Society should never give up because a situation seems impossible. In life, if there is an opportunity to help expand the minds of mankind, it should be done no matter the risks involved. | 4 |
2e3e13b | I think driverless cars are going to be good for the future because then older people wont have to drive the car will dirve by it's self. The only time that people will have to take control over the car is when your in danger of backing up into something. Im going to tell you why I have postive aspects on driverless cars.
I think driverless cars are postive, because then there will be less wrecks in the future, more elderly people will be able to ride in a car without actually driving. I think instead of older people having to get rides from friends and family to church it will help because we will have driverless cars. I also disagree with it n someways to because how is it a prove fact that the car can actually drive on its own, maybe it could wreck.
In conclusion, driverless cars are good in someways they can get you somewhere that you need to go. They can help you if you need to navigate through work zones and around accidents, But there also negative because what if you get in a wreck and its not your fault its the cars fault. | 2 |
2e43333 | My name is Kavontae Anderson & i am against these driverless cars. The cars are controlled by technology and basically robots. If you have a driverless car they are going to be focused on one thing, and thats getting you to where you hvae to go. That is not the only thing a good driver should be focused on. When you drive, not only do you have to focus on where you're going, you should focus on the other cars around you because you don't know what kind of drivers are out there. The fancy cars may drive by there self and have cameras but will that stop them from getting into an accident? A car can swerve over so quick and the cameras may not even notice.
Whenever they allow driverless cars in most states, its going to create aot of work for the goverment. You have to create new laws, and you would have to qualify for those laws. The best way to keep it is like we have now. We now have cars that may stop and park on their own, and personally that seems to be enough for me. Why would someone want to spend money on a robot car that just drives on its own? The only things thats doing is just making people wanna text while their car is being operated by something they don't even understand. The first reason people will most likely be in danger is the fact that they are going to feel like they don't have to do anything but just sit there. Whenever you have to just watch the rode it can get boring and you might wanna watch a movie on your phone but if you look down you might get a warning to take contol and something happens before you can even look up. Then whose fault will that be? Thats only going to get the car companies sued because the people who bought the cars are gonna be injured and want to blame the car company for warning them too late.
Cars that require drivers are better, they offer more and if you drive somewhere you can go the way you want to unlike the driverless cars, they might take you a longer way than what you want. If you drive by your self YOU can take any short cut that you want. GM has created cars that have seats that vibrate when the vehicle is in danger. Some people may get scared easily and a vibrating seat when the car is silent and their mind is on something else can create a panic attack, then what happens? The car and the driver can be at risk all because the seat scared them. I think that if you want to have a driverless car you should just call a taxi so you can sit in the back and have someone else drive for you. If they create driverless taxis that will cause alot of people to lose their job and that will make the crimerate to go up because they might find another job and it's gonna make them angry and wanna take their frustration out on other people.
When someone buys a driverless car they might have to take a class on that to teach them how to work with the cars operating system and thats doing too much. The point that i am gettin at is that if you need a liscense to drive and they come out with these driverless cars that a waste of your learning skills and people shouldn't even have to go through that if they are going to make you get a driverless car thats so pointless because you should have to have rquirements to operate one, and if they don't have any then i am going to stick with my arguement because self driving is more traditional and that's the way it should be. | 4 |
2e43866 | Lately I've been hearing these rumors about driverless cars. Come to find out that its not even a rumor; Its true. Just the sound of driverless cars sounds so cool right? I mean just think about it, no more driving! Well it does sound cool but, let this thought of driveless cars really sink in.
First, i know that all these action movies has the floating cars, driverless cars, and all that other decent stuff but, i didn't think they would really try to make this happen. Driverless cars do sound pretty intresting but, is it safe? I mean accidents are still going to happen but, when they do who will we know who did it. If our generation doesn't learn how to drive cars no more than that would make us less adapatable then normal. It's unecessary to build driverless cars. There will be no excitement at all for the ones who just got their license. How will we get to where we need to be on time if we are in a rush.
Next, making driverless cars would cause mayham. Realize that if a car could drive itself then that would make people less prepaired for when an accident might occur. Since the car is driving itself this means that drunks won't get introuble because they not driving so a persons drunk and they get in a ccidnet you can't blame the drunk driver because he wasn't driving so then when court come around its just gone be a room full of curious people still trying to figure out who to blame. Also this means that any age would have acces to an vehicle. Imagine waking up to your 3 year baby gone and your car. It's three in the morning and your baby just driving your car down the street.
In conclusion having driverless cars can be a factor in safety and money. Next thing you know people gone start comig up with dumb ideads like pets that speak English. Some things are just unecessary, we need to invent things that people need not want. Maybe driverless cars aren't as bad. I just lied they are bad. | 3 |
2e443f0 | Car usage accounts for the largest emission of greenhouse gases right behind power plants. it has put a chokehold on highly urbanized areas like New York City and London by creating smog that hangs in the air. This undesirable substance can cause many complications with health and can make the impressive cities we live in look like dystopian communities. A better world is a world with no smog or greenhouse gases and rather one with cleaner public transit.
One example of increased smog production was observable in Paris, France. After days of record pollution Paris enforced a temporary driving ban on cars with even numbered license plates and continued to swithc between odd and even in hopes of elminating the build up of anymore pollution. It eventually worked and the driving ban was ended. The reason for this sudden pollution was a series of warm days and cold nights that trapped the smog in the low city air.
Places such as Vauban, Germany are car free communities were owning a car is more of a hastle than a benefit. The construction of this town is more focused on being able to walk to your destination than have to rely on some other sort of transit. They have a main street which is the center of commute and is accesible by everyone in entire rectangularly shaped square mile community. This town is an example of a trend occuring in many european countries and is being pushed by many organizations in the U.S.
Another way that pollution is being adressed by is called car free day. It is basically a day that car use is banned. It hit its third year of use in Bogota, Columbia and is very popular with columbians living there. It is a very easy and inexpensive way to combat pollution and is finding its way to many other areas.
In any case pollution is a serious problem that is being dealt with on many fronts and is hopefully not a problem in the later future. | 3 |
2e44715 | The article is called The challenge of Exploring Venus. The author makes a explaination of how scientists will be able to find a way and travel to venus and adapt our lifes there and being able to live there with no danger and making it possible with technology.
Scientist want to find a way to get to Venus and they are thinking of ideas of making a space ship and having the astronauts fly there and trying them to adapt there lifes there. They are already studying and learning more about venus but they also want to have enough research so that they can be safe enough to know that it okay being there. Also, the atmospheric pressure in Venus is 90 times greater than what the human handle in earth. The temperature in Venus is going to toasty and around 170 degrees fahrenheit. Scientist talked about how astronomers are vasinated with traveling to Venus. Life on Venus would be as close as earth and can be the same to earth because Venus has mountains and valleys and craters. The technology in earth is really getting better but in venus the technology wouldn't handle the heat of venus because its to strong. But they are working so hard and facing the challenges that are coming against them. They talk about how modern computers are more delicate and could be more dangers to the conditions in venus. They are also having to face danger because its more heat and a high temperature for there body.
With scientists learning and pushing themselves to understand more about venus it helps to hopefully have a chance to one day to visit venus and adopt there lifes there and improve there technology. Only time and hard work of research would maybe help scientist visit venus. | 2 |
2e4bd8f | From reading the article, Driverless Cars Are Coming, it is a good idea to have driverless cars. They can really help with the world. It is a great idea to use these new cars because they use less fuel than today's cars, it allows betters response and control than a human, and if there is a problem the car can notify the driver.
Everyday humans use up a lot of gas. The gas that is being use harms the earth and makes it dirty. Using the Driverless car would help the enviorment more in terms of keeping it a clean place to live. In the article it states," The cars he foresees would use half the fuel of today's taxis and offer far more flexibility than a bus." We can save more gas and the enviorment would be cleaner. Everyone wants to live in a clean and healthy enviorment so the driverless car would be a step in the right direction. It will also help with car accidents.
Another way that the smart cars would help out is by causing less accidents. There are far too many car accidents in the world from people who either cannot drive or they dont push the brakes in time. The driverless car controls that. In the article the authors says,"The information from the sensors can cause the car to apply brakes on individual wheels and reduce power from the engine,allowing far better response and control than a human driver could manage alone." If the driverless car could respond faster than a person than we should have the driverless cars. It would cause less accidents and more people would survive. The driver would still be in control of the car though.
Lastly, another reason there should be driverless cars is beacuse even if some of the stuff cannot be done by the car, the person driving it can do something too. For example lets saythe driver is driving in a work or school zone and they have to slow down, they can do that without the car doing it. In the article it says,"They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills,such as navigating through work zones and around accidents."
The driver would not have to let the car do all the work. In some cases the driver is going to have to do something and actually drive. The articles says that the car can run 90% on its own. Therefore the other 10% is the driver. The driver is going to have to stay alert and be ready when problems arise.
The driverless car is a fantastic idea and invention to have. The world needs more cars like them so that the world could be a better and more safe place to drive. Having a driverless car that can use less gas, have better response and control,and notify the driver in case of an emergency is a great car to have. The world could do a lot by having it. | 4 |
2e4ce3b | Theres so many roads in the world but traffic still exists. Ever think about the amount of cars in your neighborhood?, dont you think thats probaly the reason why? In the Sources 1,2,3 , and 4 all imphasizes on how having a limit of car usage can be an great advantage to society. I believe that the limiting of car usage is an great advantage. This is true because Limiting care usage lowers pollution, Decreases traffic.
With that being said , Limiting car use lowers air pollution. I agree with this because the less cars driven leads to less burning fuel. According to the passage by Robert Duffer paragraph 10 states that "After days of near-record pollution, paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city."Due to the high population in Paris and numerous amount of the owning a vehicle causes massive car pollution. Having massive car pollution can be dangerous, this inherits sickness, stress and diseases. Refering to the source "Car-free Day is spinning into a big hit in Bogata,Columbia" Mayor Of Bogota (Antanas Mockus) stated that "It's a good oppurtunity to take away stress and lower air pollution" As he rode a two seater bike with his wife. The Mayor in this content speaks the absolute truth. As you walk to your destination in the nice warm air you relive stress and diseases that were causing you to be sick before. Those are the reasons why i think limiting car usage lowers the pollution.
Additionally, Limitiing car usage decreases traffic. This is true because if there is 5 people going to the same place you are and all of you guys drive in that one car or bus that reduces the traffic. Micheal Sivak In Source 4 ( The end of car Culture) elaborates on that by saying "What most intrgues me is that rates of car ownership per household and per person started to come down two to three years before downturn, I Think that means something more fundamental is going on."What Mr. Sivak means by this is that everyone should only have a certain amount of car per household and person Which will also lower the traffic. Traffic in paris is very long but due to the car-free act traffic was reduces. from reading source 2 by Robert Duffer ,it states "Congestion was down 60 % in the capital of france (Paris), after five days of intensifying smong." Just in five days of no driving the air is already unpolluted imageded if you drived five days all day. Those are the reasons why i think that Limiting car usage is an advantage.
To Conclude,I believe that the limiting of car usage is an great advantage. This is true because Limiting care usage lowers pollution, Decreases traffic. | 4 |
2e56afa | Limiting car usage could make americans daily life alot better. Americans have always relied on a automobile for there means of transpertatio n but if we limited our automobile use our lfe's would get alot better. Other countries are doing it and there getting positive outcomes. So should we follow other countires in there no car days or car ban?
In Vauban, Germany the community is completely car free. its a experimental district that does not allow the ownership of a car, 70 percent of familes in Vaubans do not own cars 57 percent sold a care to move to Vauban. Heidrum Walter said "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way"by elimanting the use of cars this community is less stressful of traffic and has reduced emmisions.
If us as Americans used bikes or walked or took the buses to our destination, pollution and smog would decrease. In Paris a partial driving ban was enforced to clear the air of the global city. Paris has more smog then any other European capitals. After 2 days of the car ban the sog cleared up. Imagine if we did that here in the united states polution would go down drasticaly.
And if we stoped driving cars for a few days every week there would be lesser car accidents every year. people would have to walk to there destination or ride a bike and people would get exercise from the walking or riding the bike. We would spend less money on gasoline or desiel.
Americans car use is already have starting to decrease since 2005, If the pattern persists it will have benefial implications for carbon emissions and the enviroment. So many good thigs come from using cars less and if we start following the trend our lifes and communities will soon improve. | 3 |
2e5b73c | People often wonder when the world is going to end; will humans need a new place to live? Scientists have been researching alternatives to living on earth, such as living on mars or venus. Both planets would need some modifications before humans would be able to take residence but both planets are possible alternatives for when earth decides to die. The article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" explains some of the difficulties scientists have to deal with when trying to explore venus. The author of this article shows his readers that by using maybe older technology mixed with newer thinking the scientists at NASA might be able to penetrate Venus' surface long enough to get the samples they need and in return protect the lives of their astronauts.
Scientists at NASA have been trying to figure out how to penetrate the atmosphere of Venus without losing any lives. They have come up with ideas like sending astronauts about 30 miles above venus to get some samples, the only problem being that getting samples would be next to impossible (pararaph 5). The reason for this being is that the men simply can reach down to the surface becuase the temperatures are over 800 degrees Fahrenheit and the high pressure is enough to crush a submarine into a dime (paragraph 3) Not only that but the weather on the surface is absolutley horrendus, presenting errupting volcanoes, earthquakes, and lightening strikes (paragraph 3). These lightening strike have proven a problem for probes sent up to the surface of venus becuase they just get shocked and are no longer of use.
Luckily for our dying planet though, NASA is working on creating a simple and sturdy machine to go up and collect samples, the last one they tested lasted up to three weeks in their simulaiton of Venus (paragraph 7). Another way they are modifying these machines is by using older technology becuase it does not require electronics, and without the electronics you get out the risk of lightening destroying the million dollar toy (paragraph 7). A good thing about using mechanical parts versus electronic parts is that mechanical parts are said to be, "more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces." (paragraph 7).
By using mechanical machines NASA can ensure the safety of the astronauts and get the samples they need to discover is Venus is in fact, a habitable plantet. The author shows this by explaining how using austronauts simply is not enough and that by combining older technology and newer thinking that scientists at NASA can penetrate Venus' serface and discover if it is habitable. If NASA combines their thinking with the older, and sturdier technology the advencements they could make would be tremendous. They could discover is Venus is habitable and possibly be able to modify it they way they need to so venus can become habitable. If the process does not work with venus they could use their research on mars or possiby other planets in the solar system. | 4 |
2e5c179 | People make many facial expressions to tell how they are feeling about certain people or situations. There really a need for a software to detect how a students emotional expressions are? Classrooms do not need technology for syudent to tell what their emotional expressions are. Students peers are more than captiable of telling weather the person likes something or not. It's also a waste of techonolgy to be put in a classroom.
One reason why technology to read students is not benetfical is facial expressions can be seen and dosen'r have to be heard. In the passage pargraph four it states that, "The facial expressions for each emotion are univeral and individuals often show varying dgrees of expressions." Another reason is humans are the detecters of weather another persons like something or not. In paragraph five it states that, "In fact, we humans perform this same "calculation" everyday. For instance you can probably tell hoe a friend is feeling simply by the look on her face." Why need technology when people have their ouwn knowledge of whats going on with a person. Last reason is using your muscles called palpabraeus, in paragraph eight it explains that using your muscles you can spot certain faces a person is trying to make. It says, "To an expert faces dont lie; these muscles clues are used to spot when a smile politician or celebirty isn't being truthful."
In conclusion using technology is not a good use to read student in a classroom. There no reason because there are people when can detect other people's expressions. Students also using their own resouces/knowledge. In the passage it states that, "moving your facial mucles not only express emotions, but also may help produce them." No need technology to tell a person that. | 3 |
2e619b0 | Limiting the usage of your vehicle comes with many advantages to not only yourself but the enviornment as well. If you were to put the vehicles away and walk or bike to school or work, you would burn a lot of calories. Not only would you help yourself in that way but you would help the enviorment in many different ways. It might take more time to do stuff without a vehicle but it will help you more in the long run. There are limitless advantages to using other forms of transportation.
Walking or biking to school would take longer and it would take more of your time. But while doing this, you not only burn many calories but you get yourself in better shape. Continuesly doing this for a month or so would get you in top shape, making it easy for you to get to your location within the same amount of time as a vehicle. Doing this will help your body both mentally and physically while also giving your wallet a break on gas money. What's there not to love about getting in shape and saving money at the same time.
While saving money on gas, you would save the enviornment from the gas. Vehicles cause a lot of pollution and can even build a layer of smog over cities. These layers of smog get stuck in the air, making the area it's around warmer. The amount of pollution within the world is absurd, and if everyone were to stop using vehicles that would cut down the total pollution by a large portion. Lower air pollution is also shown to take away stress, and lowering the use of your vehicle would also get rid of the stress of other drivers.
The only negative thing about cutting down the use of vehicles would be the time it takes to get to your desired location. Riding a bike may take twenty minutes more, but think of all of the benefits in the long run. You lose twenty minutes from having to ride your bike, but you get to enjoy the experience of riding the bike and your body enjoys the benefits from riding the bike. The world is suffering from all of the pollution, and you losing twenty minutes to a simple bike ride would help the world last longer by a great amount. It may not make a big difference with one person but if everyone limits the usage of their vehicles, they could greatly help the world.
So why would you not limit the usage of your vehicles? With all of the benefits you gain from doing so, you have no reason to not lower it. You could make a change for both your physical health and the health of the enviorment. The benefits of cutting down on the usage of your vehicles greatly outnumber the negatives. So what's more important to you, losing twenty minutes to a beautiful bike ride or polluting the enviorment and ruining the area you live in? There are no reasons to why you should not cut down on the usage of your car. | 2 |
2e622ff | Making Mona lisa simle in mona lisa picture that evryone see she is always smile she never mad or said or depressed. technology people try to make a new software so the computer can show weither you are mad or sad or happy it will tell you that and some ads will pop up and let either you are happy or sad. The computer will tell us what are emotions are and i kind of like that because the computer is leting me know if i'm mad or not or sad or not and if i am ann ad will pop up tell mad or sad .But some people wouldn't like being told their mad or sad some people are different from other people .Like when i look at the mona lisa picture it makes happy it makes me feel good about myself make me wanna look up to her like row model. moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions but also may even help produce them. But that is good idea to come up with and see how it works . | 2 |
2e62d3f | A mission of going to Venus is impossible for us, well atleast right now. In the future there is probably going to be a very high chance to visit the Earth like planet but right now, I don't see the possibilty of that happening. I think our focus should be exploring Mars, I think it's a more realistic mission. The author does have some good evidence to back up on why there's a possibility to explore Venus.
The author said that Venus is Earth's "twin" and that is true! Venus is the, "closest planet to Eartth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too.". Venus probably had what Earth has right now which are oceans. Even now, Venus is similar to Earth in terms of surface. The planet has a rocky surface and sediment and also similar valleys, mountains, etc but it's not all good stuff about Venus, the planet also has enviroments that are not suitable for human life and I don't think it will anytime soon in my life time. The author does talk about it and gives facts on why it's hard to explore Venus. It has "A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide". The clouds are highly corrosive sulfuric acid, the surface of Venus is a flaming 800+ degrees Fahrenheit. That's hot! The pressure alone is 90 times greater than Earth. A submarine accustomed to dive into our deep ocean would be crushed on the Venus surface. We won't be able to see through the thick clouds even if we hovered the planet. Therefore, it would be nearly impossible to et samples of anything!
After all, I think NASA and other private rocket organizations should just focus on going to Mars which like Venus, it's going to be hard. They should see it as a challenge which im sure they do but Mars should be our focus. The author gave good reasons on why we should and shouldn't explore Venus. Which ever planet gets explored first really won't matter. It's history being made for humans and that's what matters in my opinion. | 3 |
2e66941 | To begin my argument, I want to say I believe with all the positive values for driverless cars, that nothing compares to a human. Humans are the smartest animals on the planet, and that comes with the proof that driverless cars will make errors much more commonly than a healthy human would. If the driver must pay close attention to the road he or she may aswell drive themselves rather than watching a vehicle drive.
Quite possibly the vehicles could be used for say elderly yet that provides a much higher risk in possible accidents. There is no purpose in the vehicles even if they are supposedly driverless due to the constant and important attention requirement. Regardless you must pay attention to the road. Your eyes cannot stray off nor complete other activities like being on your phone or watching movies. Especially where it states that the plan to improve on the vehicles capabilities and add a feature to focuse on the driver's eyes to keep them paying attention. This defeats the purpose of being able to relax or sleep while the vehicle takes you to your destination.
Concluding my opinion, the entire idea of a self-driving or driverless car is completely redundant and rethorical. There is a very dense and hollow purpose for the creation of self-driving cars other than the fact that people want them. There is no real purpose at all other than people being ignorant and lazy. My opinion stands with driverless cars and I refuse to agree. | 3 |
2e676b6 | Voting falls down into 2 catagories; Electoral college and Popular vote. If it were up to the citizens to decide how to vote some may pick electoral, but others would pick popular. I would pick popular because it should be up to the citizens to decide on how we vote for our nations leader.
If I remember correctly, we the people should have the right to pick our nations president. When using the electoral college system you are voting for the slate of electors who will decide your ultimate vote for president. So really your not voting for the president. But popular vote is a different story. You get to decide who our president will be and your vote counts for something. People need a say on the president and voting the electoral college does not show how many people truly want someone as president. Also accordig to electoral vote smaller states dont get as much votes as they should.
On the otherhand electoral votes may have an upside. When you vote for president you can help choose states electors which some people would rather do. But each party picks a slate of electors to vote for theyre nominee; and those people are very much trusted. Also its possible the winner may win electoral votes but not popular vote. All the reasons to use electoral vote are because of the certainity of the outcome, swing states, big states, and because it avoids run-off elections.
Even though using the electoral vote may please some people I still believe that using popular vote would be the best thing for us. Many people before us tried to abolish electoral college and many still do. " What have Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bob Dole, U.S chamber of commerce, and the AFL-CIO all, in their lifetime, agreed on? Answer: Abolishing the electoral college!" (9). So by not abolishing the electoral college you are ignoring peoples calls to try to vote for themsleves and make up their own mind and desicions that the slate of electors wouldnt understand. So finally I argue in favor of popular vote as the only way to vote. | 3 |
2e68380 | Dear other Americans, I whish you to be a participant in the Seagoing Cowboys program. Unlike other jobs or programs, this program offers you to see the world while also helping others.
A nation like ourselves should not be lazy and do nothing while others in the other countries are suffering. We need to treat others as ourselves and take a stand for each other.
Now that World War 2 is over, we need to fix the mess Germany has made. Some families have cousins or even brothers there. We need to come together and fix this mess. Because when we all come together as one nation, we can achieve anything! From then on we must hope this does not happen again.
Now all I ask is for you to come join me and my colliges as we sail the seas. Maybe you can just take a ship to England to help there. But all we need to do is come together to clean up a mess.
Once you join you will not regret your decision. You will feel like you have achieved something, and you will get to see the world. This mighty journey is not for the faint of heart. Who among you are strong enough and smart enough to take this journey?
The Atlantic is quite an ocean, it will throw everything it has at you. Women are welcome to come to help on land, but the men are the only ones who should be on the sea.
Men are still allowed to help on land if they would like. When the journey starts we need a spotter, a few animal keepers, and a capitain. All of which are open to anyone whom may want it.
We will also have much fun on our way back home. You can play games in the lower decks such as, Table Tennis, Boxing, Whittling, and more. So in conclusion, are you coming with me? | 2 |
2e6c099 | What is the Face on Mars? Is it an extraterrestrial being or form?
The Face on Mars is not something alien like, it is not an Egyptian Pharoah, and it is not anything other than a simple rock formation that was shaded as though to look like a face by coincidence. It is a landform. As a matter of fact, it is much like those you can find here on Earth, and it is normal as you and I.
How would finding an ancient civilization on Mars be something we would want to hide? It wouldn't! In fact, it would be amazing if we could discover something so wonderful. Defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an ancient civilization on Mars (5). If we were able to find something so incredible as that, it would be very beneficial to the NASA program. There's absolutely no reason to hide something so intriguing and beneficial from anyone!
Now, I see where the confusion may come in. When the first picture was captured back in 2001, it seriously resembled a human head! Sadly, the sensation of finding something new lasted only for a short period of time, because it was soon ruled to be just another rock formation, common enough around Cydonia (2). Shadows can do funny things, just like they did in this situation. For a short period of time they had us believing that perhaps there was something to be found on Mars! We went to Cydonia three times, and I promise you there is nothing out of this world about the Face on Mars.
So, you might be wondering what was found on those trips back to Mars. Well, let me tell you. On the second trip back to Mars to capture another picture of the Face, it was found that it was simply, like I said, a plain old rock formation (7) . Since some people were not satisfied with the photo, we went back to take another one on a clear day,using the camera's absolute maximum resulotion, and got the best picture taken of the Face (8). The picture proves that the Face is no more extraordinary than some of the landforms we have here on Earth.
Now, I know there for a minute we really thought we had something. Too bad that after all the research was done, it turned out to be just another everyday kind of thing. I hope you realize now that the Face on Mars is simply a mesa, a rock formation, a land form, and that we have no reason to hide any discoveries or advances. Finding an ancient civilization would be wonderful. Maybe someday we will, but the Face on Mars is not it. | 4 |
2e6c9d8 | Limiting car usage has great advantages wether you believe it or not. Sometimes you don't think about it but you really can do harm to yourselves by polluting the air with the gases that the car releases. There are many advantages to limiting car usage such as reducing smog,improving safety and it gets you active.
Smog can greatly affect people while they are driving. In Bogota, Colombia they have a program every year to reduce smog. Throughout the whole day people hiked,biked,skated,or took buses to get to their destination. It has been three straight years that cars have been banned in Colombia. The goal of this program is to promote alternative transportation and to reduce smog. The plan is so effective that even the rain won't stop the people from participating. This plan is set to spread to other countries. Beijing, China is one of the most polluted cities due to smog. Paris is said to have more smog than any other European capitals.
Although it may not seem like it but limiting your car usage can really improve safety. Transportation is the second largest source of America's emmisions. Everyone knows that transportation is the method of getting from point A to point B.The environment is what gives you oxygen to breath everyday. If the environment is polluted with smog it can cause danger to your health. If you just leave your car for a moment take a walk breath some fresh air you will feel better. There is 70 percent of Vauban families that do not own cars. Heidrun Walter is one of those persons that do not own a car and he says "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way:" People can live happily without cars. In the end your safety is improved because you could be saving yourself from a future health risk.
Indeed if you use a car everyday to get to your destinations you really are'nt doing anything that gets you active. Just how you have a car there are also other methods for you to get to your destinations. You can ride your bike,ride buses,or walk to your destinations too. In the mid 1990's the day without cars began in Bogota. If you really think about it cities could be built in which "pedestrian, bicycle, private cars, commercial, and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emmisions, and improve safety". This helps you to at least take a walk everyday and it would also stop the pollution to the environment.
Limiting your car usage can have great advantages. Sometimes youprobably just didn't realize it but those advantages could really have an effect in the waqy you live. There are advantages such as reducing smog, improving your safety, and getting you active. | 4 |
2e78299 | Should the world create new driverless cars? The world needs something new I think, I am for the development of these cars.
Why do I agree with the development of these cars? The world has been driving cars for more than 100 years, and I think the it's time for something new, the world is moving at a rapid speed of new and advanced materials, such as our technology, we need to develope these cars because the world would be up to date to where it has to be. There are a couple reasons why I think these cars should be made!
It's a new way of traveling and a new of seeing how the world can coast off this invention. Think about it, everyone has either talked about wanting to have flying cars or driverless cars, we can't get there if we don't try, from where the world is at right now, it is time for a new spice in the cabinet.
If these cars are developed it would only take up half of the gas a regular taxi would usually use, that's less pollution and that would help out the world itself drastically. Sensors are on the cars, that gives the car a idea of its surroundings and know where to go. Anti lock brakes are there and are always on because just in case of emrgency.
At the same time, there are its cons, such as if you were to get injured or to get in a wreck, who is to blame, the car company or the person in the car? If we did end up making these cars, these laws have to be established so everyone knows just in case if they were in an accident. Also, why would we want a car
that still may need human assistance if it's suppose to be a driverless car? That doesn't sound like the american dream, I mean it's getting closer but it's not where we want to be. Us humans can't relax when we get in the car if the car still or may needs assistance from time to time, we might as well just drive our cars if it still needs us to drive from time to time. We shouldn't be in a hurry if we still can't have a legit driverless car, if we need time, take the take time, I think the world would rather have a car to where the driver has to absolutely nothing, and can sit back and relax 10 years from now, then to have a car to where the car drives 75% of the time and you drive the other 25% next month.
I agree that these types of cars should be made but lets not rush, lets get it perfect to where the world technically not have to drive. Like the article said in paragraph 10, "The road to the truly autonomous car stretches on ahead of us, but we grow closer to the destination every day." The American dream is coming, you just got to make it when the time is right, the technology is there, and the people are needing it the most. | 5 |
2e85901 | The argument of the face on Mars, which I am here to discuss. I will be discussing these key things: What the face is and Why NASA wouldn't want to keep life in space a secrect.
The "face" is a rock mond. The shadows caused by the sun make the illusion of human features. The "face" is similar to some locations on Eath as stated by the cheif scientist. The "face" is the Martian equivalent to a butte or mesa.
NASA is a program that would like more funding than already grated. If there is a major space break through NASA, would be grated a funding boost. NASA would not hide the sign of life from the public's eyes. NASA, most likely, would want to promote life in space.
Now in conclusion, the "face' is a rock mond and NASA would not life to hide alien life. Now that I have covered the topic what is your view on the face on Mars? | 3 |
2e86520 | Do you think hands free cars are a good idea? They may be, but who knows. Driverless cars aren't going to be fast and easy to make. It takes a lot of time into putting moniters, motion sensors, cameras, and a lot of other technical wiring, but do we really need them?
When driverless cars were first being thought of it was in the 1950's. It was a lot more technical and difficult to do back then, because they didn't have all the major technology we do in todays time. At first they thought of putting special tracks in the roads but realized it would need a lot of money to complete that project.
Later on in the year 2013, BMW came up with the Traffic Jam Assitant. It can only speed up to 25mph, but hey you have to start somewhere. In this car you have to have your hands on the wheel, the cars themselves are fully driverless but they can; steer, accelerate, and break them selves. The cars are specailly made and will notify the driver when they need to take control of the driving, in situations such as navigating around accidents and work zones.
There can be a bit of trouble when it comes to the laws of Driverless cars. It is illegal to test a computer opperated vehical in; California, Nevada, florida, and in the District of Colombia. It is much safer if the driver is in full control and fully aware of everything. There are still new laws being made since everything around us keeps changing.
So in conclusion, Driverless cars should not be made. They arent going to be very well made till years to come. the science behind it all is much more technical then you could imagine. There are a lot of laws that need to be made and modefied in order for people to be able to ride those cars. It is much safer to have a human driver who is wide awake and aware of everything that is going on. | 2 |
2e8ae9f | In the passage Making Mona Lisa Smile they talk about a new technology called Facs. This stands for Facial Action Coding System. I am for this technology because it would be pretty cool to see other peoples facial expressions with this new techonology.
Fore example, if we used this on other studants in the class you could tell what expression is on there face even if the just look like they are happy. Secondly, it would be helpful because if someone is having a rough day but is not showning it with there facial expression you could use this device and talk to them and make them feel better. Lastly, it could be helpful because the kids would get to experience something cool that they have never seen before.
Secondly, the groupe of studants could use it for a project to have fun and use it on the studants that are in there groupe. On the other hand, studants could do different facial expressions to see what kind of facial expression comes out like if they are happy, sad, mad, or neutral. Another positive reason is that your home PC is not able to do anything like this so it is a new experience for everyone. Lastly, I think that the studants from all ages would like to do this because nobody has ever experienced this before.
Lastly, I think that this would be fun to use because it would be a great experience. Fore example, you could use it on your friends or they could possibly use it on you. Secondly, you could try different faces to see what kind of facial expressions you can receive. Lastly you could use it to see if somene is mad or you could use it on famous pantings to see what the picture givs back in facial expressions.
In conclusion this new techonology called Facial Action Coding System (FACS) could be used in every day life. Secondly, you could use it around your town or city and be able to gelp someone out if they are feeling down. Lastly i think this would be good techonology to use in every day life because you could help a lot of people in need with just one face scan. All in all, this techonology could get even more advanced and will probably be abled to detect more than just facial expressiosn. | 3 |
2e8c47c | Is it challenging to explore new thing , or new planets? sometimes it is easy and sometimes it is challenging but it all depends on what your are going to do.
In this article I read about humans researching information about the planet venus. In venus the temperature it's really really different than our temperatures. the temperature in Venus is 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the pressure is 90 times greater than what we have experience in our planet. Venus has the hottest surface tempature of any planet in our solar system. in paragraph 3 it says "average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet. Also in paragraph 3 it says
"Venus has the hottest surface tempature of any planet in our solar system, even though Mercury is closer to our sun. This is saying that Venus is hot even though Mercury is close to the sun, Venus shoudn't be to hot. The nasa people has sent people to explore Venus. In Paragraph 5 it states " The national Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
has ... idea for sending humans to sudy Venus."
In conclusion i strongly believe that people should start to explore new things even though it might be challenging to keep exploring new thing. | 1 |
2e8cee4 | Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers because it has proved that it is a very challenging place to examine more closely,so because of this they find that sudying Venus is a worthy pursuit no matter how dangerous it could be.
One reason why Venus is a worthy pusuit because it is one of the most chalenging places to examine. In the article it said,"While venus is simple to see from the distant but safe vintage point of Earth,it is proved a very challenging place to examine more closely." this meant that even though we are able to see venus it is very challenging to examine closely.
Another reason why Venus is a worthy pursuit is because venus is the closest planet to earth which makes it easier to get there but the problem is Venus is a very challenging planet for humans to examine and study even though it is Very close to Earth. In the Article it said,"Numerous factors contribute to Venus's reputation as a challanging planet for humans to study despite its proximity to us." this means that even though Venus is very close to us it is still a very challenging planet to study.
One final reason why Venus is a worthy pursuit is because astrononers were fascinated by Venus because it may have been the most Earh-like planet in our solar system. It says," Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system." This means that astronomers like that Venus could have been an Earth-like planet.
In conclusion, Venus is a worthy pursuit because it is the closest planet to Earth and it may have been the most Earth-like planet. Venus many be easy to see but it is very challenging to study and examine. | 3 |
2e8fd2b | Your eyes can play tricks on your mind when looking at something you don't know if it is really there. Anything can be created. Also anything can be a lie. I'm argueing that the face on mars is just a natural landform.
I have numerous of claims about the face on planet mars to be a natural landform. First off how de we know that aliens are real, has anyone actually touch or seen one in real life. Then we have craters falling everywhere that must of happened to fall and make a face on planet mars. Then what if the rover on mars is messed up and the camers are not working correctly. Finally have scienctist ever tried using diffrent times in the day.
The article "Unmacking the Face on Mars" has many evidence to support my claims. One od the things the article said is that " Scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia, only this one had unusual shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh."
Another thing the article stated " Afew days later NASA unveiled the image for all to see. The caption noted a " huge rock formation... which resembles a human head... formed by shadows giving illusion of eyeys, nose, and mouth." After that they said " Thousands of anxious on JPL website revealing... natural landform.
I'm argueing that the face on mars is just a natural landform. So, dont believe everthing you see. Anything can be created. Anything can be a lie.Believe in your self do you think it is real? | 2 |
2e91de9 | This story is about evaluating The Challenge of Exploring Venus. In the first paragraph it is kinda misleading because it says that venus sometimes called the evening star is one of the brightest points of light in the night sky. Then it goes on to talk about how venus is also a planet so the name is very misleading. Then paragraph two it talks about how its a planet again not a star and its saying that its the closest planet to earth.
Venus is the closest planet to earth and yet to there has been a spacecraft to survive the landing. Although it could be a little bit tough seems haw venus's atmosphere is almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets and the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in venus's atmosphere. On venus surface the temperatues average over 800 degrees fahrenheit. With that kind of heat and pressure could even crush a submarine.
In conclusion the story had some great details about what venus was like compared to earth but i also think that it was a little misleading about star planet and i think that could have been fixed up so it didnt have you on your toes trying to find out wether or not it was a star or a planet that was earths twin. | 1 |
2e922a8 | Mars has many landforms, but there is a particular one that is peculiar. The landfrom is known as The Face. The Face was spotted by a space surveyor in 1976 and has been a mystery to the world ever since. Some people say that this landform was made by alien life on Mars, but with facts from NASA and other sources you could see that those people are wrong.
The Face has had many theories made up about how it was made and if it is even real. One of these theories is about how or who created it. This theory is about how NASA is hiding the fact that the face was made by some type of alien lifeform, which logically makes no sense at all. Finding life on another planet would bring in a gargantuan amount of money for NASA so it would seem completely illminded to hide something like this from the people. NASA can only wish they knew about an alien lifeform.
With this new discovery people and scientists demanded for more proof on how it was made. Throughout the knowing of this landform three pictures were taken of it. The first of pictures was in 1976 when they first found it and camera quality was not very good. With not a clear image, and the need for answers, NASA sought out for another picture and got one during a cloudy winter day in 1988. This picture did come out clearer than the other but still was not perfect for scientist and people to be one-hundred percent sure how it was made. So the wait began to get another picture. Finally in two-thousand-one NASA used a new, high-resolution, three-dimensional camera to take an outstanding clear photo of what they concluded to be a mesa, common in the American West, just with the physical pheatures of a human face.
In conclusion this outstanding land form on Mars had the world stuck asking this question, "Is there alien life on mars?" The Face was a mystery to science for almost thirty years only to be proven to be just another landform on Mars. To conclude, this landform is nothing more than a naturally occuring lava dome. | 3 |
2e94a27 | I believe students should be able to use the new technology called the Facial Action Coding System.
It could help improve student's interest in the subject.
The technology could also enforce students to want to get better grades.
Using the Facial Action Coding System could benefit the classroom and students.
The software could help improve student's interest because it could modify the lesson like an actual teacher.
The system would detect that you were bored and most likely make it entertaining.
It is valuable because the coding helps teachers understand how to change their teaching format.
In the text it states, "A class room computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored.
Then it could modify the lesson like an effective human instructor"(Dr. Huang).
It could also help students want to get better grades.
If they notice that the software is changing to the students benefit, then maybe they will start enjoying the class more and take it more seriously.
With the Facial Action Coding System, I could see no downfall.
The new technology is valuable for students in class or at home.
It helps them understand what is going on in class.
There is also a more personal experience with the software compared to basic lessons.
The Facial Action Coding System makes it to be as if there is a teacher in front of you when you are at home.
In the future this technology will probably make classrooms and students more advanced. | 3 |
2e95e4d | Since remotely times, the man had look for some way to make his life easier, since primitive hunting weapons, to carriages. The carriages were pulled by horses mostly, and on those times, the most that those animals could do for contamination was pooping but the owners had people to clean for it as well as someone who took care of it. While the times had change, the transportation media has too as well with the cars; which it actually result to be a doble sided blade contaminating with smog.
In Paris the government has banned driving due to smog, the smog has caused a huge impact on this city, giving to it cooler nights and warmer days, many habitants blame Diesel fuel, but it does not matter which fuel you would use, it would burn and produce smog anyways. On the other hand, Vauban, Germany, is offering a new life style that many people has decided to adopt; the suburbian comunity has no cars at the streets, people there does not own a car because they do not need it, the public transportation works very well, so it is not a primary need. They can live perfectly without cars, then they are not that necesary. Many people even sell their cars in order to move to Vauban, and had said that their lifes are so much less stressful than when they did own a car. Mothers can let their childrens to play in the streets without thinking that a car is going to kill them, and kids can let go technology if their moms want them to play outside; most of the kids are so attached to technology because it is a way that parents have to keep them away from the streets. Maybe these changes like in Germany were too radicals, but it can start by a day a year like in Bogotá, Colombia where once a year people take a car-free day, being buses and taxis the only ones allowed to produce smog, the violators are charged with 25 dollars fines. Even in the U.S., from 2003 to 2009 young people driving decreased a 23%, young people are considered the most dangerous driving people. There is so much for young people to do that they are not focused on driving, this could be the beginning of a new era, in April 2013 the number of miles per person was equal that in 1995 where the cars where less than right now. There it is even a program in New York promoting car-pooling!
But for example, here in Florida the public transportation is not that good, you actually need a car that drives you to the bus station and then take the bus; a bus that will let you on a train station, that train station will offer you a ride of an hour to another bus that takes about half an hour to get to your job (if you live in Homestead and work in Miami). That is about three hours just arriving to your job, every day for five days in a row; that is about thirty hours a week, just to get to your job! But if you have a car, those three hours now are one hour, which seems reasonable (and it is still a lot!). If someone lives at Homestead and needs to do something (which is generally at downtown Miami or Doral) you would have to dedicate a whole day just doing it, if you are going in car because the distance between cities are ridiculous, can you imagine if not having it? For doing something you would have to take two days and do it by parts or wake up at the very morning when it is still dark so you can complete everything by the afternoon. So defenetly the car is a primary need.
Analyzing the life style that people at Vauban have, they are less stressed than the average person who owns a car; people starts to be more social with their neighbors because they have to walk everywhere and the faces are the same, so they actually get to know each other. They also got the benefit of a cleaner enviroment because they do not have the daily doses of smog that someone living in a city would have; cars cause the 12% of the contamination in Europe and more than a 50% in the United States. That is a problem that Paris maybe would not be facing right now if they had payed attention to contamination levels. Since World War II, science has been centered on developing new and better cars; can you imagine what would we have right now if some other would center the science in medicicne or something else?. In the United States an 80% of the budget goes to highways while just a 20% goes to public transportation. But, how can people in Bogotá or Vauben survive without cars? The distance between the comercial and suburban areas are close enough so a bus could take you there (just one bus). Defenetly, making the change would be hard due to our attachment to our cars, but little by little we can change or life style. | 5 |
2e99f1e | i don't think its a bad way to test it i say they should test it to one classroom see how it works see what it can do and stuff like that so if you ever want to put theses in classroom's give it to one class to try them out and if they like it use but if they don't u can't do anything but make something better or something just like give it a diffenert name and shape, and size stuff like that beacuse you don't want to give it to a person that dose not like the idea of using it. say you have three classroom's and u want to see what's the odds of these classroom's using these so you test them for like 3 weeks see how use it see if they like do they need help using them so i think it would be great to have in classrooms as long as they like them and know's how to use them is the biggest part of this new product. | 1 |
2e9bd97 | Come one, come all! Come join the Seagoing Cowboys program. After war, many citys and towns are left in ruins. Who will help the poor people who lost everything? I am glad you ask! You can help assist with helping animals cross safly to a new home. Come help out! The animals need your help to travle safly to and from the sea. It will all be worth it to see the smiles on the peoples faces! We could really use your help. The following shows all the important and awsome things you need to know about it.
One of the amazing pros of joining is you can help others. As Luke says,"It was an opportunity of a life time." Helping people get back all the food supplies, animals, and more leaves a good feeling. It could make you more aware of people of other countries and their needs, like Luke.
The only complain that you might have is a few ingerys. Like when Luke cracked his ribs on one rainy night. You may get knocked over bord but that is very unlikly. All those times you helped people will surely make up for that. It could really be fun if you just try it. If you did not like your fist trip, you could always quit. At least you helped a few people out.
A few more exiting things woulg be the chance to sight see on your free time. Luke said,"Besides helping people, their is a benefit of seeing Europe and China. Seeing the Acropolis in Greece was special, son was taking a gondola ride in Venice, Italy." You may get the pleasure of seeing one, or both of those. Would that be awsome or what?
You can also have fun on the trip back. Like how Luke got to baseball and volleyball games after the animals got droped off. Table-tennis tornaments, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and games also helped pass the time of being at see. That way you are not bored out of your mind on the way back.
It can also be hard work to. You have to feed and water the animals two or three times a day. Sometimes you might have to take night watchman. That is were you have to get up every hour to check out the animals and report back to the captain. Just be careful or you might get hurt, like Luke did. Helping out with the animals can be fun, too. Even if it is exstrimly hard work.
Even if it is hard work you can still have fun. Sight seeing and the trip home is amazing. So come on! Join the Seagoing Cowboys program! It can be dangderous and hard, but in the end there are more great things to do than all the small dangers. Hard work is the price to pay if you do want to join. All the sights to see, helping people in tmes of needs, and the awsome trips will be fun!
So come join today! I am certain you will not regret it! Come help the cause. It will be an amazing experiance! | 4 |
2e9d4a7 | The used of this technology in the classroom would benifit the teachers. The teachers could teach and use the technology to see if the students were bored or confused. Another way this technology would help with is teachers could make a video teaching the lesson and use the technology to see how the students reacted.
The use of this technology would be great for teachers to know if their students are confused or bored. The teacher could teach a different way each day and see how the students reacted. Then which ever way kept the students more interested and made them pay attention more would be the way the teacher could start teaching so that the teacher gets the best results from their students. If the students are confused and don't want to ask a question the teacher could see that the student is confused and then the teacher can talk to the student one on one to help the student best understand the topic that he or she is confused with.
The technology could be used if the teacher was gone. The teacher could make a video teaching the lesson and the facial action coding system could see the students face and change the way the lesson is being taught to each student making the video lesson more personal towards the student. This would help the student learn the lesson how they like to learn. This would help them absorb all of the information in hope that they can retain the information for the test.
The technology would be great for classrooms. It helps the students learn the lesson the way they like to learn. It also helps the teachers teach the students to the best of their abilities. It will help the teachers teach the students the best way for the students. The teachers will know if their students are bored and that the teacher need to change up the way that they are presenting the lesson to the students. It will also help the teachers know if a student needs one on one but the student won't ask the teacher for help. With this technology the teacher will be able to go to the student and help the student. These reasons are why the facial action coding system should be implimented into the classroom. | 3 |
2ea704f | The Facial Action Coding System technology that let you reads emotional expressions of students. I strongly disagree with this statement because emtions is not some that you can just get a computer software to scan you to let you know if your happy or sad. How can a computer just express how humans feel emotions are some you feel when another person tell you that you are speacial, and not by letting a computer tell you. Computers are program to do what you wan them to do and help with things such as homework, research pappers and essays they are a software system bulit to help you with over the site needs.
Dr. haung and his collegue are experts at developing better ways for humans and computers to communicate. I feel like you can't just program a computer to pick what emotions you think students are feeling,a and what if the software system was wrong and thats not what the student was feeling. Emotions are a feeling you get when you feel like you don't have a care in the world , or when that special someone makes you happy because they smiled at you those are emtions they are inside you not on a machine that was bulit by man to tell you how you feel.
And in my conclusion the facial expressions for each emoion are univeral oberves,and even though individuals show varying degress of expressions. Each student have the own facial expression is compared aginst a neutral face showing no emotion in a student face. A machine that will let you know if a student is borde or confused is good but that's why we have are own voice to let our teacher know that we need help. | 2 |
2ea91d5 | There is great value in exploring Venus, despite the overwhelming dangers and obstacles that currently prevent us from doing so. From an incredibly powerful atmospheric pressure capable of crushing submarines to clouds of extremely corrosive sulfuric acid that can melt almost anything, Venus is an inhospitable planet that seems virtually impossible to explore. Despite the challenges that are presented, NASA believes there is value in exploring Venus such as furthering the science of space travel and research and we will recieve great insight into the planet it's self.
We humans have been dreaming of one day being able to explore the seemingly endless abyss of space since astrology was born back in the middle ages. Now that we have the technology to explore beyond our planet, we have been working nonstop to reach beyond what we have once reached. Exploring Venus will be an astounding feat and will prepare us further for other obstacles we will face when we attempt to explore other planets. In paragraph 8, the author mentions, "but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors." This was referring to the value of exploring Venus and the experience we will gain from it.
Along with getting experience for much more demanding tasks that lie ahead, we will also get plentiful information about Venus from exploring it and a better understanding of other planets as well. Stated in paragraph 8, "Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself," the author included this into the text because the more knowledge we have on the planet Venus, the more information we'll have on our own planet and many others. In paragraph 4, it is stated that Venus was once mostlikely like our own planet, possibly covered largely wih oceans and mountains. This is supported in the paragraph with the statement, "Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life just like Earth."
However, exploring Venus is still an extremely dangerous and demanding task. Venus' atmospheric pressure is far greater than our own along with having acid rain and a surface temperature of over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, making it completely uninhabitable. This will make exploring Venus that much more difficult.
Despite the challenges we will face, advances in technology are bringing us closer to being able to explore the face of Venus. With all of the knowledge and insight we will gain form exploring this seemingly unexplorable planet, exploration of this planet is of a great value to us. | 4 |
2eaad6a | To start off Venus would be a nice place to visit or to explore after read the paragraph the author convinced me by his ideas that he has and how he supported his claim.
The authors ideas that he wants to tell
that how theres a planet name Venus and how no body yet has been there and has not yet set a foot. Accodring to the author "These differences in speed mean that sometimes we are closer to Mars and other times to Venus.Because Venus is sometimes right around the coner - in space terms - humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on this cloud -draped world. Each previs mission was unmanned, and for good reason, since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few. Maybe this issue explains why not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus in more than three decades."(The Challenge of Exploring Venus p 2)
What the aouthor is saying is that how only one ship got to Venus but in peices not in a whole and that was 3 decades and still nothing. Another thing that the aouthor has explained how the atmosphere is to high for any body that is a human In this paragraph it says " A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent cardon dioxide blankets Venus. Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere. On the planets's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet. These condition are far more extreme than anything humans on Earth has encounter." (The challenge of Exploring Venus p 3) The aouthor is trying to say how the tempature over in Venus is really bad for us humans like the aouther said "These condition are far more extreme than what we experience than anything human on Earth." these are the reason why people has made it in the planet. | 2 |
2eb32bb | People all over the world are saying goodbye to their cars and saying hello to different, old-fashioned ways of transportation. This new trend involves walking, bike riding, and other types of public transportation. Certain cities, like Vauban and Paris, have started to set limitations on car usage. These limitations include days where cars with specific license plates' are not allowed to drive that day or even complete days where no driving is allowed, failure to follow these rules results in a fine. Most citizens of these towns have been following these rules and have found to be quite rewarding. These advantages include stress relief and a happier attitude, less greenhouse emission into the atomosphere, and a overall better environment. Limiting car usage is more beneficial than it is negative.
One of the most beneficial parts of not using a car often would be the loss of stress and a increase in a happy attitude. Most people who have participated in the limitation of car use have had positive feed back. One woman in Vauban, Germany, where most citizens are giving up their cars, said "'When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way,' said Heidrun Walter, a media trainer and mother of two, as she walked verdant streets where the swish of bicycles and the chatter of wandering children drown out the occasional distant motor." (Rosenthal, 3). Another man in Bogota, Colombia participating in their car-free day said "'It's a good opportunity to take away stress...' said businessman Carlos Arturo Plaza as he rode a two-seat bicycle with his wife." (Selsky, 24). All around people who have joined this trend have started to become happier and less stressed as the start to leave their cars behind.
Another advantage of limiting car usage would be less greenhouse emission into the atomosphere. Cars play a huge part in greenhouse emission into the atomosphere, so limiting the usage would have such a positive result. According the the article
In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars , "Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of the greenhouse gas emissions in Europe... and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive ares in the United States." (Rosenthal, 5). Knowing that, cutting out cars would minimize the greenhouse gas emission a huge percent in certain regions, like the United States. The article
The End of Car Culture discusses how the amount of people who own cars keeps getting progressively lower each year, which will help with greenhouse emission. After discussing statistics of the amount of people who own cars in America, the article goese on to say, "If this pattern persists - and many sociologoists believe it will - it will have beneficial implications for carbon emissions and the environment, since transportation is the second largest sourse of America's emissions..." (Rosenthal, 34). With limiting the amount of car usage the atmosphere will be exposed to a lot less greenhouse emission.
One huge advantage of limiting the usage of cars would be a overall better environment. Many cities are so polluted and have air filled with smog, like Beijing and Paris. Some of this smog comes from cars. Paris is doing something to stop their smog from becoming any worse, they are banning driving. "On Monday motorists with even-numbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a 22-euro fine ($31). The same would apply to odd-numbered plates the following day." (Duffer, 11). A similar situation is happening in Bogota, Columbia. Bogota started a car-free day to help with their situation. "The goal is to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog. Violators faced $25 fines." (Selsky, 21). These new limitations on car usage are going to help save the environment.
Overall, the limitations that are being put on car usage have many advantages. The lack of car usage in certain areas is helping to create a better environment, give out less greenhouse emission, and give people a happy attitude. Putting limitations on car usage has benefited many areas and continues to benefit them now. Most of these places are continuing to progress and put more limitations on cars as they head into a nicer, brighter future. | 4 |
2eb5af4 | Have you ever been on a ship with alot of animals?If not, then come join the Seagoing Cowboys program. You can learn how to transport animals to different places. For example, Luke couldn't say no to his friend Don because it was an oppurtunity of a lifetime for him. Luke and Don were both happy that got a chance to go to Europe on a cattle boat.
Luke and Don were on the boat to tranport horses, cows, mules, their food and supplies to ship them overseas. When they signed up they were told to report to New Orleans in August 1945. They arrived on the day that the Pacific War had ended. They boarded a ship with 335 horses some hay and oats to feed them. This would be great evidence to join the Seagoing Cowboys Program.
On the other hand, most people think that it might be dangerous for kids to join the program. In the text it says that "Luke slid down the stairs and was stopped by a piece of metal." Luke couldn't on the boat because he craked his ribs. In the text it also states that "But being a Seagoing
was much more than an adventure for Luke Bomberger. It opened up the world to him." Luke was also happy to be alive without going overboard.
In conclusion, I think it would be great if you joined the Seagoing Cowboys Program. It would be a lot of fun for everyone to join the program. You would learn alot of ways to tansport animals and visit different places. You can also play games and have fun on return trips. All of these examples prove that you can be in the Program. | 3 |
2eb6973 | Everyone assumes that the best way of transportation is by a car. Teenagers dream of getting their license on their sixteenth birthday and maybe even getting a car. Most adults use cars to get to and from work, drive their kids around and do fun activites. But what people don't understand is that there are so many other alternatives that ultimately result in a happier and healthier planet. There are so many downfalls with driving and owning a car that many are now believeing that it is much more reasonable to just not own a car.
"When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way" (Rosenthal, line 6). Having cars stress people out and people don't even realize this. There are so many responsiblities that come with driving. No one enjoys sitting in long traffic jams. It is annoying and quite bothersome. Everyone gets so frustrated, nevermind the amounts of accidents that lead to injury and death from it all.
In Colombia there is a day once a year in which cars can not go on the road or they are served with a fine. This effort is to try to bring stress levels down and stop air pollution. "Colombians hiked, biked, skated or took buses to work during a car-free day yesterday, leaving the street of this capital city eerily and devoid of traffic jams" (Selsky, line 23). This idea promoted excersize and got people out and doing things in the community. The citizens clearly were not against this day or else they wouldn't have been acticve. "Parks and sports centers also have bloomed throughout the city" (Selsky, line 28). This just goes to show what driving does. It isolates people. Without all the cars, one is more willing to spend time outside and interacting with other people and since people were out and about more and enjoying the community, the area has gotten more presentable and pleasureable to be in. "...uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks; rush-hour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic; and new restaurants and upscale shopping districts have cropped up." (Selsky, line 29). Officals and shop owners are making more of an effort because everyone is more active and caring.
In Paris, the officals made an effort to try and clean up the cities pollution rates. They assigned a day where even number licensed plates could not be on the road and a day for odd numbered plate cannot be on the road or else they will be fined. "Congestion was down 60 percent" (Duffer, 14). If anything, it goes to show that the amount of cars on the road is absurb. 60 percent is more than half, that's a lot of traffic. Paris primarily uses diesel, causeing a lot more pollution in this busy city. "Paris typically has more smog than other European capitals" (Duffer, line 17). Paris is a very touristy area and people go in hopes to see a beautiful city. This project went so well that officals planned to continue it. "The smog cleared enough Monday for the ruling french party to rescind the ban for odd-numbered plates on Tuesday." (Duffer, line 19). If officals planned to continue this idea, than it must be benifical in some way. If citizens just made an effort to not drive everywhere, than restrictions would not have to be mad. It's because of the amount of driving that is going on that officals have to get involved.
"...transportation is the second largest source of America's emissions..." (Rosenthal, line 37) Motor vehicals cause so much danger to Earth. The amount of pollution is so high and dengerous. It is much easier to prevent than everyone believes. One could simply take the bus, ride a bike, only drive to work and needed places, walk, and even car pool. There are an abundant amount of ways to prevent so much pollution and stress. It's all over the world that this is an issue; Paris, Colombia, the United States, and many other places. "Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe . . . and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States. " (Rosenthal, line 11). That is a lot. It isn't difficult to help prevent this.
In the long run, not driving would result in happier people anyways. Cars are so expensive that is would cause less aggravation and economic stress as well as the basic stress of just driving and being in traffic. Society could make the world so much cleaner and safer for the next generations. It starts now. Get a bike or a pair of walking shoes and start getting active in the community. Start making the changes now so it isn't forced by officals later. make the effort and show the next generations how life should be. This could lead to a much happier and healthier life style. | 4 |
2eb932d | In the story "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" has multiple dangers containing the Earth's study. The three ways it can be hard to study Venus is the atmosphere, the surface, and technology.
The first reason why it is hard to study Venus is because of it's atmosphere. The text states,"A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus."This quote means that it will be very hard to walk on the surface if it is that high of an atmosphere. The text also states,"On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet." This means that a person from NASA could never extand that weather and it would be hard to study it.
The second reason why it is hard to study Venus is how the surface is. The text states,"Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth." This means that they tried to predict what Venus is like but it's still hard to study. The text also states,"Furthermore, recall that Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit, a crucial consideration givin the long time frames of space travel." This quote means that Venus would still be hard to study even if we took a trip there.
The third reason why it is hard to study Venus is the technology used for the study. The text states,"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." This means that Earth's technology would not work for studying if they used a lot of it. The text also states,"The thought of computers existing in those days may sound shocking, but these devices make calculations by using gears and lever and do not require electronics at all." This quote means that with using technology the studying would still be hard.
They know Venus has the same size and same density but it is sill hard to study for those little things that make up Venus. | 3 |
2eb95cd | In 1976 NASA's Viking 1 took a photo of a landform that resembled a face. This excited the public. NASA has gone back to that place twice and taken higer defenition photos to make sure that it is not a face or some monument made by aliens. They have fond that it is a common landform, a mesa or butte. If it were more, NASA would tell the public right away. News of life on Mars would excite the public, and provide NASA with funding for future explorations.
The first photo of the landform was taken in 1976 by Viking 1. Each pixel in the photo represents 43 meaters. It is difficult to see deitalies in this photo. NASA believed that it was thier duty to make sure this was not a sign of extraterestrial life. In 1998, Mars Orbiter Camera took a picture ten times sharper than the original. This picture showed more deatail, but the public was not satisfied. In 2001 NASA took another photo of the spot. In this photo a pixel is equal to 1.56 meters. This image is so sharp that if anything unusual were there, you could see it.
Mesas are a common landform in that area. Cydonia, where the Face is located has lots of other landforms like mesas and buttes. Simaler landforms are also found on earth. Landforms come in all different shapes and sizes, and this one happens to resemble a face. That is not unusual, we like to find thing that look like other things. For example you might see a cloud and say it looks like a bunny. Likewise we see a landform and say it resembles a face.
The Face, "a huge rock formation...resembles a human head", but this is pure coincedence. the shape of the formation forms shadows giving the illusion of eyes, a nose, and a mouth. NASA has taken very detailed photographs to make sure there is not alien life. The Face on Mars is a mesa or butte, a common formation. If there was life on Mars NASA wouldn't hide it, it would excite people about space and provide money for future explorations. | 4 |
2ebe52d | I think that the Face is just a oddly shaped rock, it probably just got there from sandy winds and erotion taking place on a mesa and that is what made it to be like that from, from my experience with the Bible it says there is nothing else in the universe to do harm to the earth, except for sin and satin. The Lord thy God will never but something like that in the universe to do us harm.
From th excerpt it says that at that time it was a windy mounth on Mars and from that I think that it got there from erosion, for atleast a couple hundred years it would had to be wearing away, because that huge of a rock can not possibly get worn away that fast but i guess since we found it like this a rock on Mars in the Crydonia and some how it lookes like a face, and over to the next century it would probably change and look like somthing else a new shape it would not stay like that for long. But it would be a cool conspicury to think that aliens make a cool looking rock formation of a Egyphian Pharoah known as the Face.
Also from the excerpt says that it a a butte or a mesa that got eroded away over time, and also if there was a alien life form on Mars we could see it because we have this high packed pixle camera that can take a photo of Mars and we can see them and there homes on our monitors the camera is called the Mars Global Suveryor an dby the intension of that shuddle we can see all things big or small. | 2 |
2ec03c1 | The author supports the idea well that Venus is a worthy planet to study. The way that people can study venus is to stay above the surface in a blimp, they could build space crafts and rovers out of the strongest material on Earth, and they could also make a submarine like vehicle that is strong enough to with stand the heat and the preasure.
The fact that Venus is a planet that is close to us should make it easy to go to. It is not easy because of the preasure and the heat. A way to get around these issues is to make a blimp that will stay above the surface of the world so then it only gets part of the preasure and heat. Then they can try to get evidence and samples from the surface of the planet to bring back with them to study on earth.
They could get the strongest material on Earth and use it to make space crafts and rovers that will with stand the full heat and preasure. Then the rover could collect samples of gases and rocks. It could also get photographs and videos of what the surface looks like. It could then take everything back to Earth and then humans could study the diffrent samples it collected.
They could make a submarine like vehicle that can withstand the preasure. If they do that then they can collect the samples and figure out if Venus had life on it before. They could find out if Venus could become a new home for humans if it is needed. Then the submarine could send all of the evidence back and then we can study all the evidence we need to study to learn more about Venus.
In Counclusion, they need to make a vehicle out of the strongest material to send down to the suface of Venus and try to collect samples. Then the vechile will come back to Earth with the diffrent materials and then humans would get to work on studying the samples. | 3 |
2ec5f1f | The Facial Action Coding System is valuable for reading the students emotions. Technology has come a long way and it can do crazy things. It says in the atricle that " We humans perfrom this same imressive "calculation" every day." This means if we as humans can detect emotions through actions and facial expressions, why cant technology? At the end of the day we humans are the ones that create technology and we can set its limits and control what it does. It also says in the article " The process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles." This shows that the technology doesn't just guess emotions. It takes time to look at muslces and the ways they move and it calculates the emotions. It also says in the article "a classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored, then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instuctor." This could be very helpful in classrooms becuase a lot of students struggle with things like that, and this technology would be a great help to a large group of people. This makes the techonology valuable becuase it could benefit students in their education and help them out. In conclusion the Facial Action Coding System is a very valuable thing. It can help change the way people do things, and can help in classrooms. People could find ways to use this technology to create new things that could do even more. It could start as just this system and evolve into something way bigger and effective. | 2 |
2ec83d5 | Driveless cars would be above one of the nations craziest inventions ever made. They have been working on this for many of years but just havent made it final yet. My postion on driveless cars is that i think it would be good for handicap people but thats it. The author made a huge point stating that "in the case of a accident whose fault will it be, the drivers or the manufactuer."
I respect that they have done lots of data throughout the years and they come to find out that more and more people have lost their lives because of bad driving or failure of being sober. They have tried to put more police on the road and made alot of new laws but its just hard task to complete with trying to get drunk drivers off the road. They have made soberiaty checkpoints and stuff like that but there still seems to be, that people are driving under the influence. If thats the case then i dont think there is any point in making driverless cars because no matter what someone is always driving bad on the streets.
The feeling of not having to drive your car and being able to sit back and relax in your car is nice but, I dont see how that could possibly work because if you were to get into a accident then whats coming back on you, what are you first to do? Sue the manufactuer or is it in your fault since you own the car. The last thing , If driverless cars were to be on the streets you would think everybody would have one? I would think the pricing would be a ridiclous amount of money because of how much time they invested in making driverless cars succsessfull.
Driverless cars was defeintly a brillant idea but at this point in time i dont think they have a strong enough impact for it to workout. Transportation has become a huge impact upon the nation today because without it people would have to walk everywhere and that would be time consuming. I think this essay has a great arguement wheather or not that this is a good idea but in my postion i think the best way to go is just to try and be as safe as possible on the roads and pay attention at all times on the road. | 3 |
2ec88c1 | Driverless cars can cause a lot of different problems like the safety of pedestrians,how realistic are driverless cars, and how driverless they really are.
Driverless cars can be a huge safety issue. If a driverless car hit somebody whos fault would it be the driver or the company? Also there are really no laws pertaining to driver less cars. That could be a huge problem when people do bad things, because they can not really get in trouble because it is not illegal. Driverless cars seem like that coould never happen.
The cost for a driverless car can be very expensive. It takes a lot of technology to make a car doo everything on its own. The car would need sensors and possibly sensors in the roads but that is not realistic at all because it is way to expensive.Most driverless cars will also need an alert system to alert human to take over. A driverless car can be really expensive.
Another thing about driverless cars is how driverles are the really? According to the passage all of the driverless cars out today still have to alert you when the car can not drive through a road block or an accident and other things like that. So when having a driver less car you will still have to be alert at all times just incase you need to take ove rthe road. The problem with that is whats the point of having a driverless car when you have to stay alert the whole time.
My position on driverless cars is that they are not a good idea. The can be a safety hazard, kind of unrealistic, and not very driverless. If I had to choose between a normal car and driverless i would choose normal. | 3 |
2ec8ca9 | Venus could have been just like earth a long time ago with life on it, but it has changed and is now to hot for humans or anthing to be on the planet. In the text it says," Long ago , Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth."
In many ways venus is just like Earth becuase it has all these features just like Earth. The only thing different now is that the planet is alot hotter and has acid.
The planet Venus is alot like earth because it has rocky features and it used to have oceans, it just so hot more then 170 degrees Fahrenheit. The text in the artical says," The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as vallys, mountains, and craters." Which in terms is just like another Earth. Venus has changed and became very different from Earth over the years, but it is still the closet planet in our solar system of being like Earth.
Venus is a hot planet. yes, it isnt as close to the earth as other planet but it is still a very hot one, hotter then some of the planets that are close to the sun. Even high above the surface of Venus the temptures are crazy high. The text says," At thirty-plus miles above the surface, temperatues would still be toasty at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on Earth."
The pressure on Venus is so high that if someone would put a submarine onto it, it could get crushed. That could be on of the reasons that NASA has not sent any human subject to Venus.
Going to Venus, NASA has sent probes and robots to Venus. But never any human subjects. Why? Well the pressure on Venus is way to high and would probably crush any human if they did not have the right gear on. It is also very hot way hotter then tempures you see here on earth. Which in case would be miserable for many human to bare on another planet.
At the end of the day human kind still wants to go to Venus and it coming up with ways too. In the text it says," Striving to meet the challenges presented by Venus has value, not only becuase of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also becuase human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors." the people thing that will get to Venus one day, it may not be today or tomorrow. But techinally changes every day and ti would be in the near future that onday a human will step foot onto Venus. No one should have doubt of going somewhere becuase of the dangers or the doubts of getting there, but should be thriving off the idea and imagination of what is out there, and what could be held for man kind.
"Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to mrrt the very edges of imagination and innovation." | 3 |
2ec9e00 | Would you like helping countrys thourght world war 2 .If so you should consider being a seacowboy a seacowboy is a person who basicaly brings animals across seas . I antisapate you should be a seacowboy because the text states that World War 2 was over while countrys were left in ruins ,UNRR needed to take care of animals, and this is the opportunity of a life time .
To begun with
World War 2 was over while citys were demolished
So theys citys could thrive once agin they needed food and animals . Peoples homes were destroyed . You could assist by becoming a seacowboy .
In addition to UNRR needed to take care of animals . UNRR is a sociaty that stands for United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration . UNRR sort of sponsered and are seacowboys this explains that if you are a seacowboy you work for UNRR .
In conclusion this chance to become a seacowboy is an opportunity of a lifetime . you get to ride with animals across a sworming sea . you can incounter new objects . you can bring back a thriving comunity for others to enjoy and relax becase you tryed to assist in journy .You may convince other people to acopony you, on your journy across the deep maybe terrofing pitch black deepes of water smashing and colodes toghether, in the enourmas body of cold salt water .
This supportes that becomeing a seacowboy helpes the fact that World War 2 was over while countrys were left in ruins , UNRR needs to asisst animals needs and thi sis a gigantic opportunity.
so you should really suggest you to consantrat on this opportunity . | 3 |
2eca07c | I think that the technolgy to read students' emotional expressions would be very valuable in a class room , because like the first sentence in the passage said "Imagine being able to detect exactly how other people are feeling , even when they are trying to hide their emotions." You never know how anybody is feeling, especially if they are good at holding their face expressions.
The technology really shows which muscles move and the emotions that follows on from that facial expression. And it shows that if you have it in your classroom , at times you can look and see how your students are feeling during class. The passage says "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored."
I think it would be a nice thing to be able to use the technology for that because you always wanna know how somebody is feeling, you can make their day by doing something little. And people that are like hard body never want to show how they are feeling. They don't want to bring attention to their selves. | 2 |
2ece958 | In the article " Driveless cars are coming," the author presents both positiive and negative aspects of driveless cars. The article is about a smart car that could drive itself. Many of the aspects are unaware and may need human assistance at some time. Even if the cars where fully aware, many states would need an aware, and
focused driver on the wheel at all time. These cars should be made, but only for people who have restrictions on driving such as blindness or
people who are autistic.
Drivless cars are only currently made to be used with help from a human driver. The car would be able to drive itself but the drive would need his hand on the wheel at all times to do sensor in the wheel that could tell when there hands where taken off. "The car can handle driving functions...but special touch sensors make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel" Another reason the cars are only need help from humans is because they can not drive through workzones and would need help. This would be necessary when roads and bridges are damaged and need repair. This can happen often and would need an alert driver who is able to correctly move the vehicle in a legal way.The car is also able to announce when it needs human help. "They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skill."
If cars where able laws would still have to be changed. Laws require that there is an alert driver always in a vehicle, in this case it is illegal to test computer driven cars . A few states are leading the nation in the development od self driving cars, these states include California, Navada, Florida, and also the Distric of Columbia.Manufacturers believe as soon as the cares are proven safe, more states will follow. But, there is still on question to be asked if there is an accident due to the failing of technology who would be held responsible. I believe that the manufactorer would be held responsible.There would be reason that it is not there falt, but the falt would mostly be his.
Drivless cars are not copletely drivless yet. They still have hand sesors requiring a driver.There are also stale laws requiring an aware drive at all time. This is why i believe iuf there was to be a copletely drivless car it should not be sold to everyone, but only those who can prove they have have driving issues. | 4 |
2ed047c | Some think that driverless cars are in our future. Others think that driverless cars are, and should stay, merely a product of science fiction. I believe that driverless cars are not a good idea. Driverless cars are not a good idea for several reasons. The first and most obvious reason is safety. A second reason is the large cost of manufacturing these cars. And finally, a third reason we do not need driverless cars in this day and age, is people would forget how to drive a regular car or neglect to even learn if the car drove itself.
The first reason that society does not need driverless cars is safety. Of course, people can argue that if a car were to drive itself, there would be less accidents. It is true that driverless cars could reduce accidents from drunk driving and other impaired states, or just simple driving errors. However, some of these problems are easy to prevent now. It is illegal to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The simple solution is not to do it. Most crashes caused from simple driving mistakes could be prevented as well. The problem is the driver, not the car. In addition, driverless cars would be at an increased risk for technolgical malfunctions causing potentially fatal crashes. As of right now, the technology in driverless cars is only experimental and theoretical. It would take many years to iron out all the bugs, so to speak, to make these cars function properly all the time. As mentioned paragrpah nine of the article, in most of the Unites States, it is illegal to test drive driverless cars. It is illegal for these very reasons. It is illegal because experimenting with that kind of technology is dangerous.
A second reason that driverless cars are not necessary is the unimaginable cost it would be to manufacture these cars. In addition, millions of dollars would be spent first to research and perfect the workings of the driverless cars. Not to mention, driverless cars would probably cost a larger sum of money than regular cars because of the time and cost of manufacturing them. In the past few years, in the United States has been going through a financial crisis. While our economy is now doing better, where would the money to fund these cars come from? In the article, the author mentions building smarter roads for cars. If that was the case, it would cost even more to fund this grand scheme. So much money is spent on paving and repairing roads every year, it would cost so much more to have to change or rebuild all of the roads in the country. In addition, if cars were to drive themselves, many laws would have to be changed for the new cars. Right now in the United States, one in five children will go hungry, there are clearly more important things to spend money on right now than to fund driverless cars.
A third and final reason that we do not need driverless cars is if we did, people would forget how to drive a regular car, or neglect to even learn. The article mentions that cameras might be needed to ensure people pay attention to the road. There are already enough distractions for drivers to worry about. Texting and driving has become a major issue in recent years. Imagine how easy it would be to be distracted by a phone or other device if the car you were in were driving itself? This is a slippery slope. It starts out with relatively small things, such as not paying full attantion to the road if the car drove itself. But soon, if people did not have to worry about traffic laws and safety, then they would soon forget them. Hypothetically speaking, what if someone who had been driving a driverless for a period of time one day had to go back to driving a regular one. This person may still have their liscense, but would they be able to pass a test for it now? Problems like this would make the road more dangerous than it already is. In addition, that same person who is now driving a regular car, may forget that he or she is controlling the car, being that they were so used to the car driving itself. There is enough reckless driving, that we do not nead people operating vehicles with no memory of how to do it! Or people might even neglect to learn how to drive a regular car at all if they depended on a driverless car all the time. If society allowed this to happen, the results could be catastrophic.
In conclusion, driverless cars are not a good idea. Maybe in the distant future if more problems that we are currently dealing with are resolved, but not at this time. Driverless cars are not currently safe, and will not be for many years to come. They would cost a significant amount of money, money that can be spent elsewhere for better causes, especially when we already have cars that work perfectly fine. Finally, driverless cars are not a good idea because they could cause people to forget how to drive a regular car, which could lead to a very dangerous and potentially deadly situation. There are benefits of driverless cars, however there are even more downfalls to the idea that certainly outweigh the benefits. | 5 |
2ed15ef | Are driverless cars good or bad? Developers today are trying to create driverless cars. These cars have some negative aspects. In "Driverless Cars Are Coming", some issues were money, sensors, and pop-up displays inside the car. These aspects could cause crashes which could allow for injuries and even death.
Many developers want to make "smarter" roads instead of "smarter" cars. General Motors came up with a track the cars could run on. On the other hand, these road systems would "require massive upgrades to existing roads" which in turn would be very expensive. On top of that, building these "smart" roads would take up a great amount of time- not practical for people trying to get to specific places in a hurry.
In the text, these cars "need a whole lot of sensors". The sensors allow the car to "know" it's surroundings and what to do. The information carried from the sensors can apply brakes and even reduce speed. These sensors also alert the driver of danger and when he/she should take the wheel. What would happen if the sensors malfunctioned? With malfunctioned sensors, the car could crash because the car would not "know" its surroundings. This could cause injury or even death. Sensors could also increase the speed of the engine making the car unstable and making the roads unsafe for fellow drivers.
Manufacturers are "hoping to bring in-car entertainment and information systems as heads-up displays". These displays would take over texting and driving, a common issue, but could distract the driver more. If the displays don't go down when the driver takes control of the car, it could cause an accident. The heads-up displays also takes the driver's attention off the road.
Thus, there are negative aspects of the driverless cars. In the article "Driverless Cars Are Coming", there were several issues found embedded in the text. The negative aspects included: expense, sensors, and displays. As these cars become more developed, the risks may increase. | 4 |
2ed6c19 | Would it be cool if you a computer can tell if you are actully smiling in a picture or if you are faking it? Will now therei is it`s called,"Facial Acton Coding System" as transfered too FACS. In the aticle Making Mona Lisa Smile by Nick D`Alto this commputer likewise tells us your emotions. And you muscules on your face what it tellls us if your haooy. It also tells us different reactions.
In the article This computer FACS can tell us how your muscles can helps the omputer with the emotion you are feeling. In the article on paragraph 3 it says "Eckamn has classified ix basic emotionsa-happiness, surprise, anger, disgust fear, and sadness- and then associated each with characteristic movement of the facial muscles"(3). FACS loooks your face muscles to indecate what your emotion and true emotion in front of the video you are showing. It can tell if you are happy, sad or desgusted.
FACS can also tell emotions just like on your face musles. In the article in paragrph 4 it says," the new emotion-recogniton software tracks these facial movement- in a real face or painted face of Mona Lisa"(4).This new computer can even exam you emotions on your face like it did on ona Lisa. Also, FACS even works on painted faces. It can tell if the painting of the persons face is happy not.
Another thing FACS can recongise what your face is doing face. In the article in paragraph 6 it says,"if you smile when a wed ad appears on you screen, a similar ad might floow. But if you fron, the ad willl be different. "A classrom computer could recongize when a students is becoimg confused or bored"(6). FACS is a really cool computer that tells us what on your face how it reacts and recongise the face expression you can give in a classrom.
Inconclusion, FACS is a computer to set a facial action coding sytem to know if your expression. Also, it`ll know if you are faking it by your face muscles. It recongize your expressions you can give druning a class. FACS also works on paintings. This new FACS computer is a really cool new technology system used in Advancd Science at the University of Illinois. | 3 |
2edae7a | Have you ever wanted to be a cowboy who crosses the sea? Now you can, if you join the seagoing cowboys program! I think you should join the program because you get to help nations recover their supplies and explore the world as you travel which I thought was really fun to do.
One reason I think you should be a seagoing cowboy is to help the nations by giving them more things they need such as food, animals, and more. I think helping the nations by doing this in the war will contribute to them so they could win if I give them the things they need to win the war.
Another reason I think people should join is to have fun. I say that because while you are at sea you could explore different places around the world. While being a seagoing cowboy, I visited places like Europe and China while i was working as a seagoing cowboy. I also went to Greece to see an Acropolis, and I even went to an excavated castle in Crete. When the animals are unloaded you could play many things such as Table-tennis, baseball, volleyball, and many more in the empty holds where the animals were.
In conclusion, i think people should join the seagoing cowboys program because you get to help the nations regain their supplies, and you get to have fun by exploring around the world. You should join because the seagoing cowboys program is fun and helpful to many people. | 3 |
2eddc0b | The Seagoing Coyboys were having some of the best times of their life! Luke is a Seagoing Cowboy. Doing this job is so much fun! Being a Seagoing Cowboy is exciting because of the unique places, helping other people in need, and it keeps you very busy during the trip.
The first reason you should be a Seagoing Cowboy is because of the unique places you go. The possible places are Greece, Crete, Panama, and Italy. You could see the acropolis in Greece. Taking a gondola ride in Venice, Italy would be magnificent too! You could see the famous Panama Canal or an excavated castle in Crete. Thre are so many different opportunities! You could sign up for this program right now!
A second reason you should be a Seagoing Cowboy is because you could help other people in need. Luke didn't even know of all the people of other countries. That awareness stayed with him for a long time. His family has hosted a number of international students and exchange visitors for many years. Luke helped the countries in ruins that were left after World War II. He helped take care of the animals such as horses, young cows, and mules that were shipped overseas.
A third reason you should be a Seagoing Cowboy is because it keeps you extremely busy. You will be as busy as a bee! As I said, you take care of the animals they take overseas. The animals have to be fed, given water, and have their stalls cleaned. Bales of hay and bags of oats had to be pulled from the lower holds of the ship. Luke was also a night watchman once. He had to check on the animals every hour. He had to make an hourly report as well. You don't work the entire time either. You have time to play games and do sports as well.
Some people may say you should not be a Seagoing Cowboy. They may say it takes too much time or it does not do you good. I would counter this statement because this job teaches people responsibilty of taking care of animals. Being overseas does take a while, but it does teach people patience. There is also time to sightsee and play games. These reasons show being a Seagoing Cowboy is not a waste of time.
After reading this article, I learned a bunch about Seagoing Cowboys. I still don't think this job is a waste of time. This job will teach you many things. Afterwards, people will be as happy as a puppy wagging its tail! All of these reasons lead me to believe that more people should join this program. | 4 |
2ee0a0e | While reading the article my claim for using technology to read students is that it would be a positive outcome. Students that study at school would be more involved if the teacher knew how they felt about the way they teach and interact with the class. Teachers can have a better way of communicating with the students. I feel like students dont always speak on how they feel about the class they express it instead and so with the technology that is going to be made teachers can have a better way on identifying what the students is feeling.
According to the article the technolgy trying to be made would detect how someone is feeling and it detects how humans express there emotions. The article also indicates that all humans show emotion by making faces not speaking about it verbally. With the technolgy teachers can use it to make class more fun and so that students get involved and interact with one another. It is aslo effective because it can help students talk more and be more interacted than just showing expession.
Other ways this is effective is because when someone is feeling down or sad you can approach them and ask whats going on with them. This can really cause a better way of communication. Showing expression isn't always the best way to interact with someone you won't know how to help the person,but with this technology you can be way more helpful. The article also idicates that facial expressions dont lie, and that this technologly is entended to bring a smile to your face.
This is an effective type of technology for schools,jobs, and other placess may need . Its effective to these places because it can show how people actually feel about bieng where they are at. It also helps stop problems against one another, and there would be less drama between classmates,workers and others.
This can also help people help others that have problems.
In cunclusion to my statment if feel like these are all ways this technology can be affective.It can prevent many tings from happening. It can cause more interaction with one another. More people would be happy ,students would like to go to school knowing their techers know how they feel and everything would just run more smoothly. Teachers would also find a better way to teach and students will have passing grades. | 3 |
2ee1a20 | The Author is sugesting us to learn about "The Challenge of Explorinf Venus" Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the threats it present. To challenge this planet we would have to studie about Venus. Hot sister planet,Hot planet, or is it possible to live in Venus could it work.
First, The Author sugesting us to learn about Venus in the solar system. Venus is our second planet in the solor system, and the hot in the surface and twins. Here why "Often referred to as Earth's "Twin," is the closest planet to Earth in terms f density and size, and occasionally the closest in the distance too." so there you have it.
Next, The author wants us to know about the challenging of Venus surfaces, Atmosphere, and life. Here one i fact that "the atmosphere is almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blanket Venus.". Venus surface temperature would be like 800 degrees and it can do more times great than what we can experience. I don't think that venus has life on the surface because their hot land can be a problem once go rough it may burn you with acid so dangerous
Then, The author want us to know if it possible to colonize Venus as new home. Well, NASA has been visits to Venus like 2 times. people may say that it is dangerous to go to Venus with the man on the planet because the athmosphere can cause limits. I don't think they should colonize Venus There is no water, no life ,
it's just full of rocky, winds, hot.
Finally, The author want wheather people should learn or visit to Venus to see if we can visit, We should not colonized because who knows what could happen. They should keep studying more about Venus and learn from the others planets they should colonize for the future. | 4 |
2ee34f0 | Venus, the second planet from the sun, and one of the most dangerous planets for exploration. The planet is strangly reffered to "Earth's twin", today it might not hold Earth's qualities, but long ago it was beilieved it did. Scientist's are set to beileve that at one point Venus had oceans and a possinble life sorce. A time before the extreme weather conditions, Venus is said to have flourished with oceans, supporting various forms of life, like Earth today. Now, that is long gone, taken over by a volcanic terrain. Exploring Venus will be dangerous and worth all the odds against it.
We, as humans, have already tried to explore the dangerous planet before. Each mission has been unmanned as no spacecraft has even survived the landing for more than a few hours. Nasa is now working on other approaches to studying Venus. One project being conducted states "having simplified electrons 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." That will allow us to have a better understanding of limiting the exteme factors. Looking back to mechanial computers, will be easiter as it is more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces.
Exploration of Venus would contribute emensally to our knowlendge of our sister planet. The author states "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 curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimdating endeavors." Through our curiosity, it will allow us to aquire insight into a new vast world, far beyond our exploration on Earth. "Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." Space exploration has no limit, bounderies will inspire those to explore the unexplored and will allow us to push oursleves to places we have never been before.
Venus, an inhospitable planet, with extreme temperatures ranging up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit, to the atmospheric pressure being 90 times greater than on Earth. It may seem obsurd to even consider the possibility of even exploring the planet itself, but motivation and some inspiration it will take you to great places. Scientists today, are finding ways to get us their safely and effectivally. To building a possible hover craft to working on innovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to require meaningful data. There are a lot of factors to be put into consideration when thought about, but with the right tools and knowledge one day exploring Venus might be a possiblity. | 4 |
2ee3686 | One why in the world would you want to know soemones mood you dont know what they were going threw thats history hwat they were feeling let the past stay in the passed not alot of people wanna know why she was sad this isnt from the artlicle nobody cares about why she was sad or happy leave her be what kind of test is this who the heck is gunna ask you what the heck happened in the passed its the passed it should stay there nobody in the world is gunna ask you what mood was mona lisa in in the picture who the heck cares its in the passed i didnt have to go into the artlicle to know this is stupid make fun of me if you please if someones reading this sure if its the computer when what the heck computer slide me a dub on this test me and you both know this isnt something will be asked in the future honestly tho who cares this is nonsense whos to really know if u were happy or sad or the picture was actually there to make u smile thats like me saying im here to be loyal then say im gunna cheat instead. you were not there to say that it was there for that one certin purpose no personal information but me and my girl arent together so that isnt my girl so i could lie and say she cheated or i can tell the truth n say she left cus i wasnt making her happy | 1 |
2ee76da | If cars were limited if there use there could be many advantages that could save humans from polluting the air. The smog in major citys would be cut down or even eraticated. In Sourse 2 they say" Paris typically has more smog than other European capitals...". In response too this they banned people from driving to cut down on the pollution of the the air. In sourese 2 they say " Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France, after five-days of intensifying smog...". If major citys put limits of car use then they would be able to cut down on the smog of the city and also the pollutants in the air.
Also if the use of cars and other gas run vehicals were cut down on you could also on the greenhouse gas emission. In Sourse 1 it talks about a suburban area in VAUBAN Germany and how they baned the use of cars. In Sourse 1 it states that "Passaenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emisions in Europe... and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States.". To repel against the greenhouse gas emission VAUBAN got rid of there car usage making there suberbs more walking friendly. I the United States were to follow in the lead of VAUBAN the 50 percent greenhouse emission gases will be cut down. | 3 |
2ee795c | The choice of who becomes president should be left to the Electoral College. The people are the ones who vote for slate electors and the outcome is fair. This is why the decision of who becomes president shdould be left for the Electoral College to decide.
The first reason why deciding the president should be left to the Electoral College is because the slate electors are voted on by the people. Each party chooses a slate of electors trusted to vote for the party's nominee. There is the possibility that the winner of the electoral vote will not win the popular vote. Even though that happens very rarely. Voters are needed when choosing slate electors because a single persons vote may effect who is chosen fo the position. The Electoral College is decided on by voters and wheather or not someone votes may change who becomes the slate elector for your state.
Another reason the Electoral College shuld remain is because the outcome of the vote is fair to voters. A presidential candidate, required by the Electoral College, is to have a trans-regional appeal so that if he or she is favored by one region the residents of the other regions do not feel as though their votes do not count. The weight in the political balance that large states lose is restored by the Electoral College. Voters in toss-up states are more likely to pay attention to the campaign and are likely to be the most thoughtful voters, the most thoughtful voters should be the ones to decide the election.
The decision over who becomes president should be for the Electoral College. The Electoral College is chosen by the voters of each state and has the larger chance of the outcome being fair. The people choose their slate electors and trust them with voting for the party's nominee. these are reasons why the Electoral College should be the deciding factor on who does and does not become our new president. | 3 |
2eeab39 | Hello and my name is Luke and I am a Seagoing Cowboy.
I have seen many things since I became one.
So, I want you to try and give it a chance.
My friend, Don, invited me to go to sea when I was working in a grocery store and bank.
I couldn't say no so I went with him.
When I got there, they hired Seagoing Cowboys to go out on the ocean.
When I became one, I had to go to Greece.
But before I got there, I turned eighteen years old.
Then, after the trip to Greece, I made nine trips, more than any other Seagoing Cowboy.
You get see amazing sights when you are on a trip.
Taking care of horses and cattle on the sea can be very fun.
It is a very fun thing to do on the sea.
But if you hve little paitience, I don't think you should join the Seagoing Cowboys.
One normal trip is can be about two weeks.
And a trip to China can be about a month.
But if you can handle paitience, I would be okay with you trying the program.
So if you like going to foreign countries, raising cattle, and going on sea, you should try the program. | 2 |
2eecc01 | Driverless cars are indeed a very complex subject. In the article "Driverless Cars are Coming", The text states that the car he forsees would use half the fuel of todays taxis and offer more felxability than a bus, Which would actually come to be very helpful in some ways. By using half the fuel of todays taxis the car would save alot of money for he who has it. Transportation as in busses and taxis, would not get as much business although it may seem like a good idea, Alot of the men and women who drive these public trsnportation devices would be losing their jobs if people decide to not use them anymore becasue there is self sufficiant cars and they would complt to being forced to try to find another job which they might not be able to get.
The Driverless Cars are built very complex. They use a ton of sensors all around the car which most likely takes alot of money to put into building, Money that is poribably taken from taxes the government collects from the people, Alot of people would be losing money to build something that isnt 100% sure that it would even work. The article says that these self sufficiant cars have been tested to drive millions of miles without crashing, and still would need some assistants to park and back up out of parking spots.
"We have to interpret the driving fun in a new way.", or so the article says in passage Eight. Some maufacturers hope to do that by bringing in car entertainment and information systems that use head on displays. Which can be turned off instantly when the driver needs to take over, But by doing this the driver would be very distracted by the displays and if the driver needed to "take over", they would be too distracted to do so in a life saving manner.
It is illegal to even test computer driven cars, not all states are willing to follow through with allowing it. It would take a long time to try and get all states on board with the situation. If the traffic laws change, new laws will be needed in order to cover liability in the case of an accciden, which will also take even more time to come up with those laws and get them passed. Even though the passages state that the Driverless Cars would in the long run be less money, It will be more money to construct the whole thing and make sure they all are trust worthy. So the quesion is, can we really trust "Driverless Cars"? | 4 |
2eee3a4 | Dear Senator ,
I beleive that we should keep the electoral college. I say that because it would be choas if we did not have them keeping the voting in check. I have one reason why we should keep the electoral college. And that is to make and keep the right/ best person for president to we can feel safe and good about the newly elected president.
I can see where you think that the electoral college doesnt really do anything. But thats were you would be wrong. I say that because without them there could be a horrible president that just made ppresident because he was good at advertising and he is paying off companys to advertise to make him look better. But i can see what your getting at because he did win fair and square but that doesnt mean that he will turn out to be a good president. That were the electoral college will come in, by chosing the true person who will be there for our country when we need him the most. And its not like the people are not choosing their president. The electoral college still go's with the peoples vote they just go in more depth with choosing the right president. So in the end everyone wins. the people will have the best leader of the united states they can have thanks to the electoral college. So why take them away, all they do is help us.
yours truly

2eef8db | That studying Venus is a worthy pursuit the dangers it presents by how the Earth was moved.It talked about the Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any other planet.Even if Mercury was closer to the sun if wouldn't be as how Venus is. Venus was beyond high pressure and heat and the weather present additional impediments.The types are erupting volcanoes,powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface.
Scientists even disscussing further visits to it's surface about how long ago, Venus might had been covered with oceans and could have helped forms of life and the Earth.Venus long ago has sometimes the option to planetary visit the crucial long time frames of the space travel.It says how NASA'S had the the solution to the conditions on the surface of venus to let scientists to float above the fray.Mostly reseachers are working on innovations that allow there machines to last enough to know about Venus more.Researchers couldn't take no samples of rock,gas or anything from a distance.
If people were to go to Venus from a ship or hovering over above they could only have a certain limit insight on the ground.Venus had no value because the insight to be gained on the planet by itself.The travels of the Earth has not be limited because the dangers and opinion.It says how they should Expand to meet curtain edges of imagination and innvoation.People think that they could have been hiding something and people are assuming why can't they get any closer to things. | 3 |
2ef5d32 | During our day and age vehicals are extremely common every where you look there is a vehical. Vehicals are the second largest producer of carbon emissions in America, right behind power plants From what the artical "The End of Car Culture".
Personal vehicals are not a nesesity there are many ways you can find your self going back and forth between locations even if it comes down to riding a bike. This world is all we got so why not treat it the best way we can and conserve it, you only get to live here once so make a differnce even if it is as small as picking a day out of the week to ride a bike to work or school. I personaly think the goverment should bput a ban on cars for certain days of the week and if people fail to follow that law their should be punishment not a small one either earth is the mother of all life she protects us she nurishes us and takes care of us but yet we treat her like she is worthless. I know i wouldnt want anyone slapping my moher in the face and treating her like she is worthless so dont treat our mother like she is not something worth saving!
Their are also other ways to ensure that we reduce carbon emmisons relased by tailpipes of cars for one cities could build cities closer together so when people want to travel the dont have to spend hundreds of dollars in gas that is slowly but surely distroying our home. People could use car polling or even turn their gas powered cars in for an hybrid that uses electricity to power the engine. | 2 |
2ef8816 | Why venus is so big?
My article is "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" this article use logos (Facts) to explain more about Venus and the challenges.
Venus, sometimes called the "Evening Star", is one of the brightest points of light in the night sky. In our solar system, Venus is the second planet from our sun. While Venus is simple to see from the distant but safe vantage point of Earth, it has proved a very challenging place to examine more closely. Often referred to as Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too. Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. (NASA) has one particularly compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus. (NASA) is working on other approaches to studying Venus. For example, some simplified
electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested is a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions. However, peering at Venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can provide only limited insight on ground conditions because most forms of light cannot penetrate the dense atmosphere. Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the in sight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors.
I think, we have to innovation our technology because we don't know what we are gonna find out there, species, beings livings, or something else. We need to be prepared first. It's gonna be hard, if we go right now probably we die.
I think is interesting to explore more planets to find more beings livings, but some of the planets are gonna be hard to explore.

2efa049 | In the article, Driverless Cars Are Coming, in the first paragraph it ask you, "Can you imagine a time in the future when no one buys cars because no one needs them anymore?" In response to that question, I believe that the future does have ideas for such things, Why? Technology has taught us to be creative, we live in a world where you almost have to do nothing for yourself. So computer operrated cars are no shock to my eyes and ears, well until it actually happens...
I will begin talking about the risk being ensured, I say ensured because it is almost bound to happen to have reported accidents and or malfunctions.
In the article it mentions people testing out and making assumptions to these self driven cars. One statement caught my eye when saying "They worked surprisingly well, but they required massive upgrades to existing roads, something that was simply too expensive to be practical." That is one example of why we shouldn't be putting self driven cars on the road, they're going to be expensive and always needing an upgrade, what if you're driving, well your car is driving itself, and you run into an issue while on the road with others out there, could the car malfuntion and cause you to lose your life?
I do believe that people only do things because they feel as if they need to be up to date on what the new and improved inventions: Not saying I wouldn't have fun, but am I wiling to risk my life along with others?
There are some positive perks about these self drivin cars... One being The necessititaes the car being ready to quickly get the drivers attention when the car is about to run into, on going traffic, construction sites, and or a route to which a human is needed to attend the wheel.
Have they thought about giving examples on when a good time to use these cars instead of an everday drive? I think more advice would help give a good responsible outlook on these cars. I mean it all sounds fun in games to have something to futurisitic, but let's be realisitic and think about the cost, and how much you will need to update on it, do you need a certain type of insurance to purchase this car? Is my safety guarenteed?
These questions i asked would need to be answered before i ever think about buying, everyone needs to know the answers to these questions before not even thinking about all of the above.
In conclusion I would like to say that although it sounds fun it's too risky for me to try. I hope when these cars have passed the laws that the laws aren't broken... I will be sticking to my own driving for myslef, i like to have control and know whats ahead for me. I think driverless cars are ignorant and no needed. | 3 |
2efbb29 | Dear state senator,
Election day is held every four years on the frist Tuesday in the month of November. When you elect for president would you perfer voting yourself and having your vote count or voting for someone who will then vote for your state and elect for the president of choice. For example, lets use the election of Obama versus MittRomeny. Imagnie if you voted for a man who said "If you vote for me to repersent your state I will elect Obama!" He might be tricking you and vote for MittRomeny when it is time for them to vote. That means your vote for them and that promise he made to your state dosn't matter because he wanted to voted for MittRomney and he knew majority of the state would go for Obama.
I believe that the Electoral College is wrong for the simple fact is that you do not know the intentions of the reperesentors. For example, in article "The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong" it states in section "What's wrong with the electoral college" that "Back in 1960, segregations in the Louisiana legislature nearly succeeded in replacing the Democratic eletors with new electros who would oppose John F. Kennedy. (So that a popular vote for Kennedy would not have actually gone to Kenndey.) In the same vein, 'faithless' electors have occasionally refused to vote for their party's candidate and cast a deciding vote for whomever they please.... Oh, and what state sends two electors to Congress? It happenend in Hawaii in 1960. Luckily, Vice President Richard Nixon, who was presiding over the Senate, validated only his opponent's electors, but he made sure to do so 'without establishing a precedent'" This ststement shows that whoever is running can overthrow the other by chaning the mind of their electors.
Also it state in the the same article and same section that "ATt the most basic level, the electoral college is unfair to voters. Because of the winner-take-all system in each state, candidates don't spend time in states they know have no chance of winning, focuding only on the tight races in the "swing" states. During the 2000 campaign, seventenn states didn't see the candidiates at all, including Rhode Island and South Carolina, and voters in 25 of the largest media markets didin't get to see a single campaign ad." That means the states who did not get to see campaign ads blindly vote for an elector who will then blindly vote for a president.
I believe that popular voting will be a lot better because so that everyone can vote and not just one person picking for an entier state. Also in popular voting campagin ads will be seen in every state and everybody can make their own choices so noone is blindly voting. At the end after each state is done voting, all the votes will be added together, and a president will be chosen by majoirty rules. So state senator, what is your choice? | 4 |
2f022c5 | Dear, Senator of Florida
After reading this story/argument i think we should remove the Electoral college, why? Because i think we shoud be able to have the final vote, not the electoral voters. It states in paragraph 15 that "it is the electors who elect the president, not the people." "when you vote for a presidential candidate you're actually voting for a slate of electors." (paragraph 15) the reason why is cause they vote on the more who has the responsibility on taking part as president.
The electoral college has 538 electors and about 270 electoral vote are required to elect president. There is one member of the house in your state of representatives also 2 for your senate. But in the district of columbia therenis allocated 3 electors that are treated like a state. This election is held every four yearson the Tuesday after the first Monday of November. So when you vote, you dont vote for the whivh presidnt your actualy voting for the candidtes electors.
"It is possible that the winner of the electoral vote will not win national popular vote. But in the year 2000, Gore had more popular votes then Bush,and Bush had less fewer electoral votes. This yet has not happened very rarely, but it was the first time ever since 1888." That only happened cause the elctoral votes made it happen. some informstion i put up there is to inform you what they do and how many votes are required to elect president compared to the thousands of people voting for the president.
I say that the electoral college is unfair! why? well there's resons. The first is cause they lost the presidency the year 2000 with Gore and Bush. Second of all people who favored the seperation of race.
We, people shoud be able to vote on the president to make our vote count! Not on just voting for the electors the elect the president. Let our votes be heard to the people not the just the elctoral college. | 3 |
2f0294a | Planing. Can the tecnologic read face of the emocion of human. Scientit are makeing computer to keeping growing u. The most comun expression is the paint of Mona Lisa Smile. This paint can be express the emotion of happy, sadness and same more. The computer can read your face with your own muscle.
"Dr. Huang and his collenge are experts at developing better ways for human and computers to communicate". The main computer are growing up to be able accepting human. In the past nobody know the real face of tecnologic. The scientits are proving evidents the human can comunite witha none human. In other way the expression to seem a emotion through a computer is complice to understand, but the reason to develop the tectologic is to understand the human.
"She'83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry. It's the subject of leonardo de Vinci's Renaissance painting."This argument can be decription of Leanardo's paint. The Mona Lisa Smile can be dectetive by a computer too. The way to decribe the same way. The happyness of the paint can tranfer us. She is happy but the same way to be happy is afear to do a mistake . The computer are showing work to be able to do it. The paint is the best work of Leonedo because is showing the real face of the human.
"Yet Dr. Huang OBserves that artists such as da Vinci studies human anatomy to help them paint facial muscles precisely enough to covery specific emotions."That way to identifies a reason to able read your face is the muscle. The way in each part of your face have a muscle that crear a feelinf acceptable. The face have a lot of muscle. The most muscle able to express is the smile. "Empathy (feeling sameone else's emocional state) may happen because we unconsciously imitate another person;s facial expressions."The next or side of the smile can show where is happyness. The term to asomeone accep you. Is the way to understand them first.
In coclusion a computer are able to read your face. The computer are developing to a human understand themself. The first moment of your face can be good or bad. Well sametime are deficult ourself to able smeli or cry. To have affect is a great emotion to feel. | 1 |
2f05f6d | I think that you should particpate in the Seagoing Cowboys program because their are new things you could learn. Also joining the Seagoing Cowboys program changed my life.
You should join the program if you like going to new places or if you like trying new things. If you love going to new places then this is the program for you because you will get to see a lot of knew places you haven't been before. I took a gondola ride in Venice, Italy, a city with streets of water. I also toured excavated castles in Crete and marveled at the Panama canal on my way to China, But seeing the Acropolis in Greece was special. Or if you don't like exploring places you haven't been don't worry because there are plenty of other things for you to do there like for instance when we leave the animals and are on are way back we play tons of games. Also you get to meet knew people there, so you would end up makeing tons of friends. Also a lot of times when people participate in the Seagoing Cowboys program they end up tying new things they would't normally try or that they haven't tried. Also joining the program helps build you into a better person because you're helping out with the animals. Another thing is that the cattle trips were amazing for a small-town boy like me. When you join the Seagoing Cowboys program you will learn to take care of animals. If you're a bit affraid of animals don't worry they won't bite, well they might bite, but only if you make them really mad. It takes alot to make them mad though, so you will be okay and you won't need to worry about anything.
Some people might just say it is a useless way to spend your time, but I disagree because a lot of good things could come from it. Like you could make a lot of new friends there or you and your friends could join the program together to spend more time with each other. who wouldn't want to spend time with there friends playing games like table-tennis tournaments, fencing, and boxing. Or you could just read to pass time if you really wanted to. If you joined the Seagoing Cowboys program I think you would have a lot of fun. If you can't sleep or you like sleeping late you could be the nightwatcher. A nightwatcher is a person who watches over the animals.
I'm greatful that I had the opportunity to join the Seagoing Cowboys program because it changed my life for the better, if my friend Don hadn't invited me to go with him to Europe on a cattle boat then I wouldn't had signed up for the Seagoing Cowboys program. I am so grateful that he took me with him to Europe.
If you get the opportunity to join the Seagoing Cowboys, I think that you should join the program. It really is a oppotunity of a lifetime, so you should say yes and step out of your comfort zone if you don't like things like that. You know it is good to try new things. If you do decide to join the Seagoing Cowboys program I hope you have a good time.
Sincerely,

2f06170 | Facs bieng Facial Acting Coding System is an invention that is really helpful to many people i think that it can help people in so many ways. alot of time people can be hiding and emotion and not show it but it could be helpful for something to tell what they are feeling so that they can either help them or feel that same emotion that they are feeling. Sometimes humans can show many emtions and we might not know whet they are for example there ar ethe simple emtions such is happy, excited, sad, anger, but then there are other emmtions where it might be mixed like happy but sad or angry and sad and sometimes emtions we might not even know what they are and that when the Facs comes in to see what emtion someone might be feeling. There can also be a hiddin emtion within someone when someone might seem happy they might show it on the outside but in the inside they are probly feeling another emotion. One way Facs can be very helpful is by knowing wether that person is going thru some stuff for example a person could be thinking about commiting suicide but nobody would know until their facial expression shows that and it might not be a sad facial expression it could be a diffrent one but with the Facs it would be able to tell someone right away what emotion they are feeling. In conclusion i think that this is a very smart thing to to to be able to recognize or scan somones face to reveal their facial expression is a fenominal idea. | 3 |
2f08580 | Cars are almost everywhere, And as they say ''Where ever theres a car, There is polution''. Well thats not what they actually say but thats what they should be said. I mean can you just imaging the gases and smoke coming out of just one car,Its a lot right well now picture a country full of cars and trucks now thats cause for damage. limliting car use can have advantages on the world and ourselfs as a person. One city in germany is making a change for the better.
In VABAN, Germany population of just about 5,500 people, About 70 percentl of the people there do not own cars as said in source three of the article,It also states that 57 percent of people sold there cars to move and live there. this plays a part in the advantge of less air polution, ''Fresh air'' when people say i need some fresh air he not really breathing fresh air unless hes sniffing a tree tahts has just gone to phtosynthisis .Not to mention the gas, In VAUBAN instead of having to use the gas for cars it can be used for other day to day things. although there is less polution in VANBAN it is nothing compared to the air polution that has already been let out but to make things better we all have to start somehwere.
less air polution is good but it might take years before we can implimant a law or rule to have less cars around the world. something good that you can get out of not having a car right off the bat is less stress and being calm.''When i had car i was always tense, i am much happier this way.(source 3) heidrun walker, a media trainer and a mother of two stated that. Now she dose not have to wait in traffic of rush hour to go pick up her kids from school or get groceries all of that is a walk away. Daily excrsics and a nice walk. This is just another couple of advantages that people can get from not having a car.
In my opinion people don't need cars if places are two blocks away. i see it as an acsesorie, Or another toy to play with, But this toy has a cost. If the world for at least one day stoped using cars , They will under stand what is is to live in this small town of 5,500 people are who happy with there life style, hopfully they will understand the advantages towards not having a car. | 3 |
2f095a0 | The electoral college is a very controversial topic. It has been debated by important figures like Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, and Bob Dole (Plumer). While some people agree with Bradford Plumer and say that we should abolish this method, others stand behind Richard A. Posner, wanting to keep the electoral college. Although the electoral college restores some of the weight in larger states, it is a very unfair method for voting on our president. The electoral college allows someone to win the presidency who did not win the popular vote, and, if a tie occurs, the outcome is demeaning to larger states.
The electoral college does have a favorable trait. It restores some of the weight in the political balance that larger states (by population) lose by virtue of the mal-apportionment of the Senate decreed in the Constitution (Posner). The senate only appoints 2 representatives per state, no matter how large their populations are. The electoral college gets rid of this problem, assigning representitives to states based on population.
While that aspect of the electoral college is beneficial, it may be the only thing. The electoral college is an extremely unfair method. Just take the 2000 election, for instance. Al gore won the popular vote but, thanks to this flawed method of selecting our president, lost the presidency (Plumer). This was uncalled for. If someone wins the popular vote and is wanted as president by the majority of people, then they should be president. Our president is a position of the utmost importance. We should have a leader that the majority of the people want.
Not only is the actual process unfair, but if there ever happens to be a tie it's even worse. In the event of a tie in the electoral vote, the election is passed on to the House of Representatives, who then have the state delegations vote on the president (Plumer). However, the catch is that each state gets only one vote (Plumer). This means that the single represenative from Wyoming, representing 500,000 voters, would have as much say as the 55 representatives from California, who represent 35 million voters (Plumer). This process is extremely unequal and should not be allowed. Everyone should be able to have equal representation and play a part in critical decisions like this one.
All in all, the electoral college is unfair and people despise it. According to a poll in 2000, over 60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now (Plumer). The electoral college, while it may restore some of the weight in larger states, is detested all across the United States. The person with the popular vote doesn't always win, and, in the event of a tie, the process is even more unfair than the actual method itself. The electoral college is an awful process that the majority of people don't want. So why is it still here? | 5 |

2f1718a | At first, the idea of not using a car may seem like an extreme inconvience that comes with endless problems. However after looking into the matter there are many hidden advantages. One can lessen emmissions, and help create a less polluted enviornment for themselves. One may also be able to save money by simply taking alternate types of transportation.
By using a car less, one can help decrease the amount of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere. Paragraph five by Elisabeth Rosenthal, states that up to fifty percent of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States are due to passenger cars. While these numbers may seem daunting, some cities have reduced their pollution in simple ways. For example, Paris experienced record breaking air pollution caused by emissions. This drove leaders to put in place a ban on certain cars driving during specific days of the week. Not only did the smog clear within one day, but sixty percent of car traffic was down too. If Paris'es problem was fixed by making a simple switch, then less polluted cities could easily decrease their emissions aswell.
One can also save money by avioding cars. Not only are cars expensive in the first place, but as explained by Rosenthal in paragraph twenty nine, the bridge and tunnel tolls are rising. Bikes on the other hand, are a great alternative because they are inexpensive and they have free paths. One may argue that it is impossible to get the public to ditch their cars for human powered machinces, but in Bogota, colombia, this is already happening. For one day each year cars are banned, and only certaing types of vehicles are allowed. Selsky explains in paragraph twenty that millions participated, even on rainy days. Here one can see that this alternative transportation idea is not a couple of people, but a widespread movement.
Overall, lessening ones usage of cars has many benefits. Not only can one help ensure cleaner air, but they can save money while their at it. By making small changes in ones everyday life, huge impacts can be made on the community. | 4 |
2f1c523 | Do you think that our world should have driverless cars ? Well I don't think that we should have driverless cars. I think that more car accidents will occur. How safe would the car be around people. Thats my opinion on why driverless cars shouldn't be made.
My opinion is more accidents will happen if we had driverless cars. One reason why accidents would happen is due to technololgy failure, and if the car did get into an accident and severly hurt someone whos fault would it be the humans fault, or the cars fault.
Would the driverless car be safe around peope? How safe would a kid be walking home from school and a driverless car is coming down the street? Would the car be able to recongnize a kid and stop at an apropriate distance without getting in the red zone of a kid ? These questions are important questions that need to be taken into consideration heavly.Thats one reason why I disagree with having driverless cars roming the earth.
I highily disagree with having driveless cars because what if the driveless car gets into an accident would that be the cars fault or the fumans fault? How safe would the car be driving around humans ? Would it be able to stop at an apropriate distance with out hurting anyon? These questions need answers out of the saftey of everyone. | 2 |
2f1d781 | The author say's About the Venus's what is diffrent than other planets and is like twin of earth because it has the same density and size it it says in number three.The tempertures are really high 800 degrees fahrenheit, is really hot to live there with almost 97 percent of carbon dioxide.It shows how dangrous is to live there the surface is the hottest than any other planet in our solar system that mean no one one can't live at Venus.
Long ago Venus was like Earth it probably had ocean and clouds and it looked like that Venus has mountians vallys. this is why scientists are looking forward to study more about Venus and its origans it had in the past long ago. NASA are planing to go to venus but they have to on the frey and it would be away to the ground
and condition. NASA they'er testin the matieral if it could last long for venus and if would not melt the matierial they tested is "electronics made of slincon carbide wich lasted three weeks" it been tested in a chamber simulating but they'er looking back on a "to an old technology called
mechancal computers that were mad at 1800s". this shows how they have to choose for their matials. | 1 |
2f242b8 | Having a driveless car seem cool and everything, but what about the aftermath? People don't really think about the aftermath of their thoughs and plans, which can cause problems in the future. Making driverless cars is a really awesome idea, and it would be wonderful if we could have those cars in the future. Although they seem awesome, there could be many things wrong while making it and after making it. I am against the development of driverless cars because it would be challenging, there will be money problem, and laws would have to be changed or added.
First of all, making a driverless car would be very challenging. Makers would need to learn many things about cars. They wouldn't be able to make mistakes because if they did, the whole car won't work. Also, the car need to be really smart, and they would need a whole lot of sensors. "The combination of all of this input is necessary for the driverless car to mimic the skill of human at the wheel." If the car doesn't have all that, we don't know what could go wrong. It will also take a long time to make it, and it will just be time wasting.
Furthermore, if people were to make driverless car, it would cost los of money. "'There was no way, before 2000, to make something interesting. The sensors weren't there, the computers weren't there, and the mapping wasn't there. Radar was a device on a hilltop that cost two hundred million dollars. It wasn't something you could buy at Radio Shack.' So just how driverless will the cars be in the near future?" Two hundred million dollars? Why should we waste money on some car? I don't think it is even worth it. We should just be fine with the cars we have right now. We should feel blessed that we can even drive our cars right now because there are millions of people out there that doesn't even have a car. There are many things that we could do with that money like making our environment cleaner and better, so makers shouldn't waste money on some car.
In addition, if there are driverless cars, the laws would have to change. "Still, even if traffic laws change, new laws will be needed in order to cover liability in the case of an accident." If there is an accident, we won't know who to blame because there are no drivers. It is just the car driving itself. "If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault- the driver or the manufacturer?" Changing laws would also be difficult because it would take time to come up with new laws and write them down on the law paper.
From the difficuly of making driverless cars to the new laws that would be necessary, it is better just keep things the way they are today. People shouldn't waste their time, energy, and money to make some car just because it seems cool or awesome. It is an awesome idea,but I think it should just be kept in our imagination because I don't think many people would want to spend their time on tring to make one car. There are more to the world than that. So because of the difficulty of making it, the money that is needed, and the necessary change of laws, I am against the development of driverless cars. | 3 |
2f28033 | It's 2020, and manufacturers are fianlly coming up with the technology to create driverless cars. You don't know if you should be for or against this idea. Well, there are many reason why you shouldn't be for the idea of driverless cars. They can be very dangerous, they are probably very expensive, and people would become lazy and inexperienced?
One reason driverless cars are bad are they can be very dangerous. The manufacturers hope to bring in-car entertainment to make sure the driver doesn't get bored. In doing so, they care creating a distraction. If something happens to the car, nobody will even know because they aren't paying attention. Speaking of, what if it breaks while you are using it, will people know how to fix it? I assume since it will such sophisticated technology that most people will not know how to fix it. Those are just some of the ways we know that this car will be very dangerous.
Another big reason we know this car is not a good idea is that they are probably going to be very expensive. People can barely afford the cars we have now. How can the manufacturers expect to sell a smart car to millions, or even billions, of people. They would not be able to sell enough cars to come out with a profit. On top of it being very expensive to buy, you also have to to look at how expensive it would be to fix it if it broke down. If you can barely afford to buy the car, how can you expect to repair it. Those are just a few reasons on how the car would be very expensive.
Lastly, if everyone could be driven places, would there be a need for riding bikes, or going on runs? People would become obiese. Nobody would stop to smell the roses, or just stare at the beauty of the world that God created for us. Another reason is that kids would never learn how to drive because the car would be driving for them. If the car were to break and stop driving itself, how would they get home because they can't drive it for themselves. Those are jsut a few reasons on how people would become lazy and inexperienced.
There are many reasons the world should not have driverless cars, including they can be very dangerous, they would be very expensive, and people would become lazy and inexperienced. "EEEEERRRRRRRR!!!" Your car just broke, what are you going to do? | 4 |
2f2ac3d | The concept of driverless cars has been a rather popular idea for decades now. However this concept seems to be getting further from being a concept and closer to becoming a reality in the past decade due to companies such as Google taking the wheel on research. However, as with anything shiny and new like a brand new car, there has to be some sort of counter agrument against it. Why do we need it? Will we be able to afford it? Will it run over the dog trying to back out of the driveway? These are only a few arguments that can be made against this new type of vehicle.
One of the biggest arguments that can be made against driverless cars would be the overall safety they present. With the cars, they would (obviously) be able to drive themselves. How would they be able to drive on the unpredicatable roads? Would they know to stop for the skunk in the road or the toddler running across the street? Would they know exactly when to brake so they don't ram into the car in front of them? There are so many driving hazards that could come that we aren't exactly sure where to start. After all, no matter how well the cars are put together and how much research goes into making them work as well as possible, even the best technology still has it's bad days.
What would the driver's job in this be? To look pretty until the car reaches it's destination? If the car where to need assistance of the driver,would the driver be able to take back control without a moment's notice?
Most every kind of technology uses some sort of software to keep it functioning, and with that software come necessary maintenence and updates. How would the software keeping the car functioning work? Would you buy the car and have to hope and pray that driving laws and regulations don't change from the time you buy the car to the time it's time to buy a new one? Would you be able to connect your car to your home internet and it update itself once it's not being used? If that's the case, what would happen if the update where to disagree with your care and then the car would perform poorly upon the next usage?
These are only a few of the arguments that I can make at the present time without more information on these cars. Yes, I realize that most of these arguments are hypothetical, but that usually tends to be the case when it comes to technology that doesn't yet have much coverage to the people. If we were to get closer to the reality of driverless cars being commonplace among the public, then I'm sure we could come up with more solid arguments. However, until that day, we'll just have to sit tight and wait for our questionable autoobile future. | 4 |
2f3101d | The use of technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable. Dr. Huang predicts that it can help modify the lesson if a student is having trouble by the looks of his or her face. With the FACS, the motion-recognition software can track facial movements and identify different emotions.If the computer in the class room can identify his or her emotion to see if they like the lesson or not can help them improve in school because the computer can track that and find something better for the student or class.
A computer that can identify if a student is bored or confused can be really helpful for the student and the class. If you are shown a lesson on the computer and you show a smile, the computer can recognize that and can continue with the lesson, but if you are shown a lesson that you frown or look bored, the computer will notice and change the lesson and modify it to become something you want. Just like a human instructor.
A lot of people will disagree with the computer because people might think that its "not true" or " it may not be always right." But people may not know that it can actually make a big impact in your learning in the classroom. The computer can help you succeed by giving you the lessons you may like. It can affect your future and making you become smarted and think learning is fun because you are learning what is interested to you or helping you be interested in the subject.
People may ask how it actually works and if it is trustworthy or not. The Facial Action coding system will focus on the 44 muscels on your face that helps you make your emotions. The software tracks the facial movements and weigh the different units and can help identify the mixed emotions. Each expression that is made is compared against a neutral face to help identify what expression you are making.
In conclusion, the use of technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable. It can help the student succeed and think learning is fun by getting lessons from the computer that may think is good for the student. Even thought a lot of people may disagree that it might not work, it can be worth a try, Just to see if it actually helps the student. The students can find the lessons fun now and affect there future for the great or good. | 4 |
2f31205 | Driving cars may seem like the best way to get from point A to point B, and in many ways, it is. Cars are fast, they are comfortable, and they can fit mulitple people. The auto industry is big because of these factors. Though studies show that cars, may not be the best option for the enviroment; and therefore, ourselves.
There is a city in Germany, Vauban. This city is almost completely devoid of cars. How do they do it? Well most of them ride bikes, or simply walk. If there is a distance to far for biking or walking, there is also a tram that runs through the city. The people who live in this city seem to be incredibly happy "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier now"
(Source 1)
says Heidrum Walter, citizen of Vauban. This trend of seperation from automobiles is happening not only in europe, but everywhere in the world. The EPA is advocating "car reduced communities" in the United States. The world is changing "All of our development since World War II has been centered on the car, and that will have to change"
(Source 1)
The beneifit of going car-free, goes beyond making people happier, it might even save the human race. Global warming is a major problem. Though an even bigger problem, is that most people in the US do not believe that global warming even exists. One way that scientists know that global warming is happening, is by looking in the ice of the artic. By drilling deep holes in the artic, scientists can extract tubes of ice millions of years old. Just how you can tell how old a tree is by counting its rings, you can tell how old ice is by doing the same thing. When scientists tested the amount of Co2 in a sample of ice that was formed 50 years after the industrial revolution, then compared it to the level of Co2 in a tube of ice 50 years before the industrial revolution. They saw a remarkable increase in Co2 levels after the industrial revolution. Many people do not know, but mercury looked a lot like earth a billion or so years ago. Now mercury is a desolated wasteland, thanks to the amount of volcanos spewing Co2 into the atmosphere. A similar phenomena is happening all over the world in places like Paris and China. Paris' pollution was so bad, that they had to ban driving for a couple days "On Monday motorists with even-numbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a 22-euro fine"
(Source 2)
In Bagota, Columbia, people take part in a car-free day in order to reduce smog. "Millions of Columbians hiked, biked, skated, or took buses to work during a car-free day yesterday"
(Source 3)
This is another example of people taking the initiative to give up cars, even if its only for one day.
People are finally staring to realize that cars cause pollution to the Earth. Even the president is backing the cause, which honestly might be why more people have not accepted global warming as a fact. The level of driving has decreased over the years "As of April 2013, the number of miles driven per person was nearly 9 percent below the peak and equal to where the country was in January 1995"
(Source 4)
It is fantastic to know that people are finally embracing science as something to learn from, and not something to fear. What we all need to realize is that, our planet will live on millions of years after we are gone. We are not saving our planet by preventing global warming, we are saving ourselves. | 4 |
2f3bda4 | Have you ever been faced with a boring computer assignment? Maybe you have dreaded coming to school or finishing your homework? As technology is advancing and more of the classroom is found through an electronic device, some students may find themselves losing interest in their daily lessons. What if this could be changed by a system that takes your facial expressions into account and accomodates to your mood? Right when the assignment has begun to lose your interest, this system could sense the change and alter the lesson plan to regain your interest. The Facial Action Coding System may be valuable and allow for improvement to be made within classrooms and within students.
Initially, as technology is advancing daily and students find themselves online more often, this system could improve their lessons. Electronics as of now are programmed to teach a student however are unable to sense how the student is feeling or how they are actually doing on their assignment. As the author states in the article, "most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication" something which computers are unable to detect (para. 6). Not only this, but the author gives an analogy that states "if you smile when a web ad appears on your screen, a smilar ad might follow" and explains that in a classroom, similar techniques can be applied to benefit the student (para. 6). Using this program will allow technology to advance and in turn will benefit the student.
By the same token, using this sort of technology in the classroom will keep a student engaged during their lessons. When Dr. Huang describes how this system can engage a student he states, "[the computer] could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored" and further explains that "[the system] could modify the lesson" to acomidate to the students needs (para. 6). In a normal classroom, when the teachers method of teaching is confusing students, the teacher should find a different way of teaching to engage students. The author also explains how the system is able to read six different emotions and can "identify mixed emotions" to allow the system to see if their methods are benefitting the student (para. 4). This computer system would be valuable when keeping the students engaged.
Finally, this system may change the ways in which many students view school. It is no secret that many students dread coming to school, whether it be from stress, bullying, or simply not understanding the subjects. This system can pick up on a fake emotion, the author explains how it can read a "fake smile" and that to them "faces don't lie" (para. 8). If this system is able to sense when a student is unhappy or angry, this could be used as an advantage in helping the student. Not only this, but the author explains that "moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions, but may even help produce them" (para. 9). Taking both of these statements into account, and allowing them to be incorporated into the classroom, students may enjoy attending school and learning new things.
Consequently, this system would be valuable to classrooms and would allow for improvement to be made within schools and the students. Overall, it is evident that computers are unable to read emotions and reciprocate to the individual adequately. This system might prove to reengage students in their learning, and improve their moods altogether. If you had the choice to experience in this program within your classroom, what do you thing the outcomes may be? | 6 |
2f3c7da | People have been driving themsleves since the early 1900s, and have done just fine.
Today cars have gotten much more advanced.
We have cars that can reach 250mph compared to back in the day the top speed on some cars was only 35mph.
We have cars that can brake on their own to stop a crash, but cars that can drive themselves sounds unreasonable.
It sounds too exspensive, and unsafe.
The driverless car seems to be unsafe.
The car uses sensors to detect its sourondings, those sensors are on the top of the car.
What would happen if something where to hit the sensors and break them.
The car could respond in a dangerous way and go off the road and crash.
The cars we have today are safer as long as the driver follows the laws of the road.
Cars today have been getting safer and safer for the driver.
The strive to be safer has become one of the main priorities for car manufactures.
The google car has so many electical features that are on the outside of the car and are most certainly water proof, but if it cracks and water getis into the eletrical parts the car would not function properly.
That would become a hazard to the people inside of the car.
This car sounds outragously exspensive!
Cars today are already exspensive, but a car that can drive itself sounds even more costly.
Everything that gets put into that car has to be exspensive.
This car has every advanced peice of technology on it.
The best computers out there today cost over 2,500 dollars!
For that much money people can go out and a buy beater car.
Today some people need a car like this, but may not be able to aford it.
People that are disabled already have medical bills and insurance to pay for.
A Google car would most likey triple the price of a good car in today's market, and nobody wants to pay that much money.
Eventhough there are many possible problems of the Google car, there are a few positives.
It could really help those who are disabled and are unable to drive a car.
Since the advancemet of the driverless car it could be very benifical to those who can't drive.
My grandma could use a car like this, because she struggles with driving and tends to get into a lot of fender benders.
However cars like this should not be made until they show that it can operate properly under any circumstance and any weather. | 4 |
2f435d9 | Have you ever heard of "the Face"?
The Face is something that is a landform on Mars that looks just like a face.
Some people think that the face was created by Aliens.
This isn't true.
There is much evidence that this is false.
It is a natural landform.
So question is what would you say if you were a scientist at NASA that knows that "the Face" is a natural landform and you were talking to someone that thinks that "the Face" was created by Aliens.
3 reasons that I would mention are that the face is made of rock, pictures show that it is a landform, and that it looks like landforms like a mesa or a butte.
"The" Face is made of rock.
The article "Unmaskng the Face on Mars" states that...
"A few days later NASA unvelied the image for all to see.
The caption noted a 'huge rock formation... which resembles a human head... formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth.'"
Aliens didn't create rock.
And as the essay clearly shows "the Face is obviously made of rock.
So that is part of the proof that "the Face" is a landform.
You can also tell that the Face is a landform through pictures.
Another reason that "the Face" is a landform is that the pictures show that it is a landform.
The article "Unmasking the Face on Mars" shows pictures that show that "the Face" is clearly a landform.
In the pictures you can tell that this is a landform.
"The Face" also looks like a mesa or a butte.
They are so many reasons that "The Face is a landform.
Another one of the reasons is that "the Face" looks exactly like a mesa or a butte.
The article "Unmasking the Face on Mars" states that...
"What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American West.
'It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho,' says Garvin.
'That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars.'"
This also definitely proves that "the Face" is a landform not something that Aliens created and left there for some reason.
God created everything the way it is and for a purpose.
He put that rock landform thing there for a reason to show us how powerful God is and that he can do anything.
God created the world just how it is and that is how he wants it with His "intelligent design"
We talked about how since "the Face" is made of rock, pictures show that it is a landform, and how it looks like landforms that it is a lanform.
This is what I would tell someone who thought that Aliens created "the Face".
Aliens didn't create "the Face".
God did for a purpose using His "intelligent design".
He did this to show us that He is very powerful and that He can do anything.
I hope that this will help strengthen a lot of people's Faith in God.
By writing this essay I hope to do more than just answer the prompt and get a good score.
I hope to also inform people about God and what He can do. | 3 |
