90d7a84 | Although, I am going with driverless cars cause of what the article talks about. It say in one parapragh that google cofounder sergey brin can. He envisions a future with a public transport taxi system. The cars he foresees would use half the fuel of todays taxis and offer far more flexibility than a bus. He believes such cars would fundamentally change the world.
.
The driverless cars can aslo drive independently under specific conditions sice 2009. Their cars have been driven more more than half a million without a crash. Theirs still some bad things about them, like they still alert drivers to take over when pulling in or out drive ways or dealing with complication traffic issues, such as navigating though roadwork or accidents.
.
They got good ideas about about what to about the driverless cars. Toyota prius uses position estimating sensors on the left wheel, a rotating sensor on the roof, a video camera mounted near the reaview mirrior, four automotion radar sensors, a GPS receiver, and an intertial motion sensor. The most important bit of the technology in this system is the spinning sensor on the roof.
.
Sensors are nothind new of course. In 1980, auto makers used speed sensors at the wheels in the creation of antilock brakes. Within 10 years, those sensors had become more advanced to detect and respond to the danger of out of control skids or rollovers. The information from the sensor can cause the car to apply brakes on individual wheels and reduce power from the engine.
.
I dont know why people wouldnt wont a driverless car because all you got to do is nothing. The car drive for you you can be on your phone or anything enstead of being on your phone while you have to drive and you could wreck or somethimg. | 3 |
90db3bf | How is there a face on Mars? Was it created by natural landfroms or was it created by aliens? Well according to information in the passage, it says that the Face was created by natural landforms. In paragraph 7,
On April 5, 1998, when Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos. Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing... a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all. Nevertheless, on April 8, 2001-a cloudless summer day in Cydonia- Mars Global Surveyor drew close enough for a second look. "We had to roll the spacecraft 25 degrees to center the Face in the field view," said Garvin. When we took that second look, that's when we knew that the Face was created by natural landforms.
To explain to the scientists that believed the Face was an alien artifact, you are incorrect. The Face was created by natural landforms. As the scientists who believed that the Face was created by natural landforms, we did our research and proved the scientists who believed that the Face was an alien artifact wrong. To state my claim that the Face was created by natural landforms, is that the picture actually shows that the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American West. Therefore shows that the Face was created by natural landforms. | 2 |
90e7cdf | In this passage there is a debate on a 'human faced rock formation"
whether it's a natural landform or a alien artifact. Many believed alien markings were hidden by haze. While others believed it was a natural landform based on evidence. Scientists have alot of evidence that the human face rock is just a landform. "As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image three times bigger than the pixel size" meaning if there was any type of alien life form on Mars then the digital images would show some type of evidence of it.
Instead, scientists just keep finding evidence and taking pictures that points everything about the human faced rock back to a natural landform.
The Face on Mars is loacted 41 degrees North martian latitiude where it was winter in April '98, a cloudy time of the year on the Red Planet. In regards to that the picture actually shows the Martain equivalent of a butte or mesa. Trying to convince someone to believe what scientists say i wold bring out alot of information about the human faced rock showing it's just a landform by telling that person scientists figured it was just a martain mesa, common around
Cydonia. Many say the Face is bona fide evidence of life on Mars.
With many saying NASA would rather hide conspiracy theories, defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an ancient civilization. Althougth few scientists believed the face was an alien artifact photographing cydonia became a priority for NASA when Mars Global Surveyor arrived on the Red planet. While eveyone was waiting for a picture of the face and it was revealed it showe no alien monument after all. Mission controllers prepared to look again "it's not easy to target cydonia" saif Garvin. In conclusion all evidence scientists are collecting about this human faced rock all comes out to be just a natural landform. | 3 |
90e8059 | When you drive a car you are putting out emisions that are harmful to your children or your family members. So when you think about you could do to limit that, the answer is in the question. When your child goes to school they should ride the bus or if close enought ride a bike or walk. As stated in Source 1:In German Suburb,Life Goes On without Cars; they have elminiated the facor of the building up of smog.
Now as that is a good thing,not everyone should have such restrictive laws or rules that make it almost useless to have. A car-free city that is losing money on the gas that is need to use the cars, are losing money and they are making the money back by feeing you when you dont listen to them. in paragraph 3,there is a quote that states - "when i had a car i was always tense. I'm much happier this way," that cant be intirely true. When foced to find a diffrent way to work,or school,or home you are putting a burdan on yourself and community.
You are putting stress on your body that can result in back,leg, and knee injury when you have to walk home. Not everyone is fit enough to walk home or to work or wherever you have to go.
In Source 2: Paris bans drving due to smog; they have fined 4,000 people for this issue they are trying to solve. It will never be solved. they are making more money while in the process of trying to eliminate he smog that will alway be there. But it sure has help with the congestion of the capital of France. It haas gone down by 60% after just five days. As they banned diesel fuel in france they have also lost the money that they need to be safe from the inpending fear of something horrible happening and making them lose money.
When you ban something that makes p for 67% of vehicles in france you must find a diffrent way to people from point a to point b in such a big city. When they have to use the subway or the bus or taxi there will need to be more of them so everyone can get on.
When fining people for there "mistake" of haaving their car in use the day of car free capital day,they are making money off of you and what are they going to spend it on? more tanks or weapons for there military? How about for the debt that they trying to pay off? In every country there is something that they need money for.
As in the Source 4: The End of Car Culture; "the american love affair with its vehicles seems to be cooling." Many people will be losing there job because of what is going to happen when no one wants a car anymore. The reason older people still keep their license and car is because they know what it is like when you have to march your way to the store and buy food for your family and then lugg them all the way back by yourself. | 3 |
90ea4f5 | In the article "Umasking the Face on Mars", there are diffrent theories on what exactly they think this is. The logical answer is that the face is just a natural landfrom the article states not logical reasons and conspiracy theories not provided from NASA, they have done their research.
During the article it provides pictures varying in dates from 1976, 1998 and 2001. Over these years it begins to form and show more. Its classified that it really is just a mesa. Different research and other many pieces of evidence back up this statement. It is just a natural landfrom.
Twenty five years ago when the viking 1 was out it spotted the likeness of a human face, an enormous head nearly two miles end to end. They unveiled it as a huge rock formation that resembles a human head. Others refused to belive this and insisted that the NASA had to be covering up something, even though they provided all the research and more than needed.
The "Face on Mars" attracted films, books, magazines, radio talks. Some people still thought the face of it being something else was something they would rather hide than bring to the public eye. Even though they had all the facts and research to back up their theory of exactly what it was. Which was a natural landform thats all. People say it even looks like some other landforms they've seen or come across.
The face that was found on mars was accused of being many things and an amazing finding. To this day im sure there are still disputes over what it actually was or is. Although it was proven, not to be a face or an alien artifact. It was just a land formation that took place or just a rock formation. It was a natural landform. | 3 |
90fe430 | The "Unmasking the Face on Mars" had many people talking and asking if there was alien life on another planet. Obviously that is not true because they had pictures that it was just a landform,it could have been a rock, and this has happened before, it is very common. The "Unmasking the Face on Mars" does not prove that there is another life on Mars.
First of all, the face is a natural landform, a picture is proof of it being a landform. They also took pictures of the so called face and determined that it was a landform. In the passage it says " When Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos. Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing . . . a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all."
The picture was the proof in the pudding. Therefore there was not alien monument.
Secondly, this face on mars could be a rock. The world has seen many of weird shaped rocks to consider that the face was a weirdly shaped rock. In the passage it says " A few 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 the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth. The authors reasoned it would be a good way to engage the public and attract attention to Mars." The thing about rocks are that they can come from anywhere, can be found anywhere, can look like anything, and can be anything. Therefore it is a rock, a weirdly shaped one.
Thirdly, it is common to find things like this. In the passages it says, "There must have been a degree of surprise among mission controllers back at the Jet Propulsion Lab when the face appeared on their monitors. But the sensation was short lived. 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." There was many other reasoning for this rock other than thinking that there was life on another planet. Therefore it is common it happens all the time.
Although people say that there is another life on Mars, so far there is not. There is proof with pictures, it is just another lanadform like a rock , and it is very common to find these things. To conclude, maybe one day they will discover life on another planet, but this was a false alarm. | 4 |
9103420 | There are planets that we all are curious about, but with curiousity comes danger. Challenging ourselves with exploring with Venus is a risk but it's a risk that we might take. Astronomers are intreged that Venus once have been a Earth-like place before and includes familiar features like earth. Also Exploring Venus may be exciting but also dangerous because of it thick atmosphere of 97% of carbon dioxide and it temperture average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit. With that being said, it's worthy of studying despite the dangers it presents.
Astronomers are intreged that Venus once have been a Earth-like place before.
Years ago, "Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth." As it sates in Paragrapgh 4,sentence 3. Venus might be like mars because Venus might be worthy of living but we won't know for sure if scienists don't study the planet.
Another reason why studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it persents because it includes familiar feature like earth. If Venus once had familiar features,then it was probably suitable for forms of life. In the article, paragragh 4,sentence 4 states "Today, Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on Eath" Also in paragapgh 4 sentence 5 states "The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and included familiar feaatures such as valleys, mountains and craters."
It may be worth studying but it comes with dangers such as Venus has a thick atmosphere of almost 97% of carbon dioxide. A human being could handle so little of carbon dioxide because its toxic to bodies. Also,it's clouds has sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere. In the article, in paragrapgh 3 sentence 1 states "A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide." Also in paragraph 3,sentence 2 sates "Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid Venus's atmosphere."
Another reason why it be might be dangerous, if the scientists decide to study the planet is because of the temperture of being 800 degrees Fahrenheit. Even though if a human being can't step a foot on Venus, it can send a special meachine that can withstand that temperture. In the article it states in paragraph 3, setence 3 "On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 | 3 |
910482c | Is there such thing that a computer can define our emotions? How can a computer software define our emotions? Now in days, the technology is getting bigger as the years pass by people start to know even how to make a car drive by themselves that is one of the things we do not hear everyday. The computer sowftware that can define our emotionsis now that people use in work or even at school use.
Imagine the world with the computer software that can read our emotions that will be very amazing. For instance, you can probably not tell the emotions on somebody face when you see them they may be smiling right at you, but what if they are feeling another way you may never know what they are actually feeling that is why i think the computer software is a good idea to read people emotions. As the time goes by people are getting tired of showing the same feeling they might already started to think that they are not getting no where with what they are feeling. Of course, that everybody know how to describe what happy and sad looks like, but what if they are not feeling none of does emotions what if they are actually nervous or scared and there is no way that you can help them. The computer software stores alots of energy different kind of specific emotions that people can use to tell other people's emotions.
The calculation in the computer software in human perform is the same why that might be because, not everybody used it why we need to use it they may ask themselves and yes that is a good question well that is because that way you can even hlep yourself if you are smiling, but the results say a different thing for example, that you are sad in reality you can push your self to not be sad anymore that is one good way to see if you need to change your emotions.
Describing the computer software is not really hard to do it you can just say it shows us how you are really feeling even doe if you are smiling. They might get scared for the momnet but, that is one way also to help other people. | 2 |
9106d85 | In the article " Driverless Cars Are Coming" the author presents both posistive and negative aspects of driverless cars, I for-one am all for the development 'smart cars'. I look forward to 'a time when no one buys cars becasue no one needs them anymore'. It is my belief that that the development of the smart car could help us a great deal in the forseen future. We are already on our way towards the idea of a driverless car not only becoming real but also helping our deteriating planet.
You see i believe that since even though there are a few vehicles now that don't necessarily need gas to run there are far more that do than not. Our vehicles now adays do alot of damage to our ecosystem than most of us realize or seem to care for. Sooner or later that invisible wall that shields us of the sun's light which burns brighter than any fire known by man will instead of helping create life, will destroy it. there is so much polution in the air now because of our nonexcistent will to protect that in which we live instead of slowly killing it. Now to clear any misinterpretation i must state that I am in no way a "tree-hugger", but i do believe that we must do something about this pollution instead of sitting back and watch the dreaded show of death. That is one of the reason why i am all fro the development of driverless cars, for I believe that this idea will bring us a few steps closer to vehicles that have no need of gas or any other polluting resources in our desposition.
This said i do believe driverless cars could also helpus in getting things faster. Already do most cars nowadays do cars have apps in stalled that allow us to not take our eyes of thwe road while at the same time do things that we feel we need time to do . Sadly it is a common thing these days for everyone to have some kind of bussy schedules since we are children. our kids now go to school for most of the day then get home and do their homework, go to school clubs or athletics they signed up for yet don't really want to do becasue their parents are the ones who dont want them out of the house all because they have to work late and won't be home 'till late or are so bussy doing other things that they can't take care of their children all day. So they send them of to be taken care of by someone else. This is the product of filled schedules which are made easier to handle now by smart cars. The technology installed in them making it possible to multitask while driving and able to not waste time making it easier to finish the list of things to be done.
Now most driving laws -as presented in the article- are written in the assumptionthat the only safe car has a human driver in control of it although in my opinion that is not the case in most ocassions. I believe that most car accidents are caused because of a drunk driver or because of a driver losing control. All these accidents could be avoided by a smart car; the way i see it is that in the future the way we are going with technology will lead us to safer car's where if in a difficult sittuation you could be guided by your smart car. Completely driverless cars could be on a kind of 'auto-pilot' in certain situations, for instance a person decided to go out with a couple of friends and decides that -although it is a completely irrational idea- to drive home of course with a simple click of a button we could all avoid a could be horrific accident. | 4 |
910d63d | Everyone knows that a teenagers emotion can change very fast .Some people know that If in a bad mood it can affect how us students do our work. I think its not a terrible idea to have facial recongition to access our emotions.
First, I think using technology to access our emotions is a smart idea. Teachers often pick on the students who dont seem to be paying attention to what he or she is saying but what if that kid that they call on is just having a bad day? well with this technology they can tell if their students are sad or mad or even surprised .
To continue, I also see why people would argue why it is not a good idea. Maybe the technology will glitch and cause error. People also might say that the technology is reading enough of our emotions, and should include more emotions to read. Maybe it doesnt read some important ones like disgust or surprised. I would like to argue that even though it may not be able to read all of our emotions yet that they might be able to come up with ways to read more of our emotions in the future.
Secondly, I think it would be a greater and easier way for teachers and classmates to come in touch with their students and be able to support them when they are in need. I also think if schools began to use them less students would be bullied because knowing everyone else can read the bullies emotions will not help the bully and he will begin to stop and realize what he is doing to himself and his peers. I think using this technology will help with bettering our world.
to continue, I think people would disagree with me becsuse our world has a lot of problems with technology and should try and reduce how much technology is being used nowadays. Everyone uses technology to communicate with each other and now letting technology tell us everyones emotions can cause a lot of damage to our new world. It would take away our sempathy and empathy we have for people as we communicate with them about how they feel and using technology to tell us how someone feels is taking away the point of even talking about it because everyone already knows.
Lastly , I think getting this technology will help better our schools and help better our technology. Many things could go wrong with technology but with schools helping and participating giving the creator feedback on how it is working and what needs to be better about it. I think if enough schools participate in getting this technology we will come into better understanding with technology and each other. Thats why I think using technology to read emotion in school is a good idea. | 4 |
9114bf5 | The author suppourts his idea of exploring venus. By showing
lots of compeling info information that why we should do futer exploration. Like the big strids that NASA has made and, how it can teacher us more about earth , and how we ca further expand our knolege on Venus.
The auther tells us about NASA and its great strids to do further expoloration of venus. By telling us how NASA has made like making a slilcon carbide electronics
that can last for three week in a chamber that simulats Venuse surface as stated in paragrah 7. The auother also tell us about NASA solution to Venuses bad conditions in paragahr 5 it states "NASA's possible solution to the hostile conitions on the surface of venus woulud allow scientists to float above the fray. Imaine a blimp-like vehical hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian lannd scape." The author gives us this information to show us how NASA has made a great stride to further explore venus.
The author tell us about why exploring Venus would be benifital to resurchers. In understanding more about earth because , Venus being earths twin may have looked like earth long ago with it may have had having oceans and various forms of life as stated in paragrah 4 . Also stated in paragrah 4 is that " Venus somtimes be our nearust option for a planitary visit, a crucial consideation given the long time frames of the space travel. " The author is consitantly giveing us information to why. Space travil to venus is beniftal to resurchers trying to learn more about the earth
The author tell us lots of information that we know about Venus already. But how also we can expand our information about venus with further space tarvil to the plant. He or she tells us about how venus has has many valles and land form close to earth. but in paraghf 6 say resurches cant take sampels of rock,gas or anything eles. But if we could it can "contribute to meanfully to our knolege of Venus .
I conclusion the supports the idea space travil veray well by
giving us lots of information on venus. And how we can expand on our knolege of venuse and earth and,how NASA has made great strinds to further explor the plant. | 3 |
911c11b | Driverless cars will be an important and interesting technology in the future. Because of driverless cars there will be new laws, new rules to drive by, and that driverless cars can help reduce the amount of wrecks and casualties that are from car wrecks.
I think that driverless cars should be allowed as long as we can prove that they are safe to be on the road. If it is proven that they will be safe and not be a danger to others driving, then I think that driverless cars should be allowed.
New laws will come into effect if driverless cars are invented and legal to be on the streets. Probably the biggest one would be if the car causes a wreck and someone is injured, is it the drivers fault or the manufacturer of the cars fault? This argument could go both ways because if the driver was not paying attention and did not take over to drive then the wreck would be his fault. If the driver had nothing to do with the wreck and that the car quits working correctly then it would be the manufacturers fault because their driverless car was defective.
Another thing that would change when driverless cars are created will be that there will be new driving rules that everyone must follow. You would have to take new drivers tests to make sure you know how to drive when a driverless car is on the road. Also, if the driverless car quits working then the driver would need to manually drive the car. You would have to have your drivers liscense even to be the driver of a driverless car because if it needed you to manually drive it then you would have to have a liscense so that you can manually drive it. There may also be a need for a seperate liscense to have a driverless car so that you know how to react if it needs to be manually driven and so that they can make sure you are paying attention to the road even though you are not driving.
The biggest reason that I think driverless cars should be allowed is because it can reduce the number of car wrecks which would lower the number of casualties in car accidents. Many people each year get in car wrecks and a lot of people die as a result of those car wrecks. If a company proves that their driverless cars will not get in a wreck, I think that many people will buy it because of the safety that it allows. The safety of driverless cars will be the most important factor to see if they will be street legal.
Driverless cars will be an important part of future technology. If driverless cars are invented and become legal, then other companies will also want to use that technology to make something else, perhaps even driverless passenger planes. This technology can be very useful and will be an interesting topic to listen to in the future. | 3 |
91273c3 | The Electoral College is not a very sufficient way of electing a president in democracy. The way it is run is faulty. If someone gets one more vote than there apponet they get all of the votes from that state? now what kind of sense does that make? doesnt make very much sense to me Mr. Senator.
In a democracy the people should get to elecct their leader. I know that the Electoral College is usually gives the same results as the popular vote but its not always 100% accurate. There is honestly no reason to have the Electoral College. The founding fathers put it in place but that was 200 years ago and I have no idea what they were thinking.
In my state, Florida in 2012 there was a very close election but Obama won by a very small margin and recieved all 29 votes from our state. That is some major bologna Mr. Senator. This is the United States of America and the canidate should recieve every vote he gets. The same thing happened in the 2000 election as well. it's not a reasonable sytem Mr. Senator.
The Electoral College has got to go. It is a faulty and injust way of electing a president here in the U.S.A. I love this country more than your average guy, it's the greatest place on Earth and i truly believe that. I also believe that we need to get rid of the Electoral College because it is absolute trash. | 3 |
9128156 | Why Facial Action Coding System is a valuable resource for students?
Scientists now have new advanced technology that can identify the emotions of paintings that date back to hundreds of years ago. Scientists can create 3D models of the facial construction of the paintings features using computer models that scan the facial features of the person in the painting.
Scientists state that there are six basic emotions that are associated with the paiting person. For example Happiness, Sadness, Fear, Surprise, Anger and Disgust. The new technology software of the 3D models of the person are loaded into a computer and emotion-recognition starts its role as taking the expressions of the paitings and putting them into movements that will show what and how the person is feeling in that era of time.
Scientists now are trying to put facial recognition computers into classrooms so that the teachers can get a better understanding about how their students are understanding information and how they are feeling.
Human behavior analysists have been studying the emotional behavior of humans for generations now and have come to a conclusion. This conclusion is that you can sometimes understand how your friend is feeling but is that their true emotion showing or is that a facade that is disguised. This conclusion is to show how valuable a facial recognition computer is and how it can be useful to a classroom enviroment.
By studing the facial features of humans scientists have been able to create steps that show the exact emotion of a painting of a person. This is also valuable information because we can have a theory about what times were like in paintings that date back to thousands of years ago.
Think about this if we took the acient egyptian hieroglyphs and took their paitings about what it was like to live in that era and translated it using the facial technology we have today we can figure out how the egyptians felt back in their time and possibly how the acted and reacted to the situations around them. This information plays a key role in history today that can help us conclude the situations of the past lifes of famous paintings. This is also a new step in history that can reveal so much about eras that we know nothing about and this can lead us to discovery of so much more.
Emotions are what make us human. Without emotions what would we be? Think of this if we lived in a society where emotions or feeling anything was banned and that we couldnt feel anything. That honestly would be the downfall in society because there wouldnt be anything to do and we would be bland. It also would mark the end of history because nothing would happen.
I believe it is a cool study to figure out the emotions of paintings and the people in them. I personally am a complete fanatic about egyptian time and the greek gods and godesses time and being bale to figure out the facial features and the emotions and feelings of the paitings of those people is completely awaesome. Its like time travel to me. Being able to study the history of those paintings of people and figuring out what they felt during that time period is like being there with the person and going through the same feelings with them.
I believe it is a great idea to put these types of facial recognition computers into classrooms because it will benefit for the teachers. The benefits of these computers is that teachers can have a better understanding of how they are teaching and how that information is being comprehended by the students. This is also a valuable source for teachers too because they can figure out how their students are feeling and if something is wrong with the students by understanding their facial recognitions.
In conclusion it would be a benefitial source for classrooms to have facial recognition computers for teachers and students. | 4 |
9129562 | Yes, I do think that we should use the Facial Action Coding in classroom. The reason why I say yes is because students do get bored and frustrated when doing notes or homework and even inclass work. The Facial Action Coding would allow the teachers to really see how or what there students emotions when it comes to doing there work, the teacher can change things up to making the class fun when they are doing note or work. Also the teacher can understand what's going on with his or her students in the classroom to see if they are struggling or if they get on how to do the work. I think math teachers would really would like to have this because, they would be able to tell if the students are lying to them on if they get it or if they don't get it. So the teacher would be able to help the students more that are struggling with the work. Also other classes than just math the teachers would be able to use it for helping there students in class that are actually not getting on how to do the work or if they do or don't understand the note. Like in a history class alot of time it can be very confusing and the students don't understand on how to do the teacher would be able to know if they really get it or they are just lying straight to there faces. The teachers would also know if they are having a good or a bad day, if they student is having a bad day they could some how cheer them up to make them happier in there class or the rest of the day. | 2 |
912e059 | Driverless cars are unsafe! Who takes fult if there is a wreck or technical difficulty? Diverlesscars should not b premmited because tecchnolgy can crash anytime and indanger the people in and outside of the car. In most states its illegal to even tesr a computer diven car.
in the article it says Google cars arent truly diverless they still alert divers to pulling in and out of drive ways. It also says they have trouble with roadwork and accidents. They said tht the cars needed a whole lot of sensors with so much technology in one project something is bound to go wrong. with the BMW car its not really driverless if the person still has to have a hold of the wheel. Mostly all the cars in the artcle need help when accidents or work construction occur. The driverless car is not oing to know evrything going arond it , what if someone cuts them
off or stops quickly they wouldnt have even seen it coming.
Driverless cars should not be developed because they are dangerous. In the article says that las hve written says the only safe car is a car that is controle by a human at all times . Most people arent going to be focused if not operating the car by them self , if something happens to where they need to take over how would they know if distacted. many accidencts happen with human drivers htheir shouldnt be accidents with computer drives also. | 2 |
91300cb | I believe that yes we should keep the electoral college. To take it away would be wrong to me i have many reasons why and pay attention to find out why i believe we should keep the electoral college. I think it would probably be best if the ones who don't know what an electoral college is should really pay attention because i'm going to explain what it is to all of you reading this.
To start off why wouldn't you want to keep the electoral college to me that's a sign of are freedom. The ones who don't know what an electoral college is we will get there soon just stick around. I am arguing that yes we should keep it because its important. The electoral college is the right to selecting/voting for president and vice president and people like that. Now to began on with the reasons i think it is important is that's a sign of are freedom to me that gives us a right to vote for who we want running this economy. Not being able to vote for this kind of thing could be bad because when we vote for the people we want running this economy we are choosing wisely because we don't want this town or anything to come crashing to the ground because of some man or woman who really doesn't care about the people they just want their name to be heard.
Some may disagree with what I've had to say but they clearly didn't think about it to much. Also some people really don't care about who gets elected they just don't care nor do they wanna vote at all and most don't. When someone votes to me that's a good thing because we have went through all this freedom stuff and then were able to vote and no many people want to vote that's pretty ridiculous if u ask me that's a sign of freedom like I've said before and when we go through a lot just to get u this grant of freedom and people just throw it away that's a sign of disrespect. I know that me being young and not able to vote yet and probably not making any since at all is probably making who ever is reading this mad but i wasn't put here to be taken right back out at a young age i was put here to live a life that was chosen for me and when people who are to dumb to realize it don't vote or at least don't try makes me mad because their not seeing what there doing just going in there and putting what ever name down on a ballot is wrong but going in there knowing a little information and choosing the person you think would make a good leader is fine.
People wonder why are world is so messed up and they don't realize it but its messed up because we made it messed up we had the choice to make it better but we chose to make it worse see taking away the electoral college is taking away are rights to make are community a better place and no one sees it but the ones who actually care and who are with me on this. People could show me a million articles on why we should do away with it but i will still agree with keeping because we didn't come this far as a community to just throw it all away and let people who don't care take away are freedom and rights to helping the community out and choosing wisely about are world and trying to keep are community as clean as possible and as safe as possible.
Well you have just heard my argument on why i think we should keep the electoral college and not do away with it because some people just don't care. I know that who ever is reading this could think differently about what i had to say and they may be saying this fourteen year old has no idea what shes talking about and they may be right but i know that when my time comes to be able to vote i will be there and i will be choosing who i think will be the best and i will care. | 2 |
91323e2 | The Electoral College should stay because it lets other people choose the president on behalf of the people. The Electoral College helps so that there is not a big problem with people going and having to do all that work themselves. Some people dont like having to vote the way the Electoral College does so they just take the majority vote and puts that in for us so we dont have to do it. It lets us choose and go home so that were not goin out all day waiting for so many people to do the majority now its all online which makes it even easier to tally it all up and see who gets the vote.
The Electoral College is just making everything alought easier for us and we are able to spend less time in a voting area waiting for people to get done. The online voting helps out alought because we are able to get everything done a whole lot easier then others. There is also a smaller line with the online thing so that most people dont have to wait as long. Unless you get that one person who is taking forever and doesnt want to leave the booth then you are there all day and nobody wants that to happen because that would not leave you having a good day for nobody.
But the majority vote could be good to only having to split up the vote and the president is whoever got the most votes. But the only outcome of that is someone not liking the president or the president isnt doing very well in anything and he just sits there not doing anything. Then that president would have to be impeached and we will have to get a new president and nobody wants to go through that. Some people might want to go through that and get a new president only because they dont like him or hes not doing to well in anything or he is just a stoubern president and doesnt like makeing rash decisions. But that president is going to have to get over that. | 2 |
9135e6c | It is a good idea to join the Seagoing Cowboys because, it is a good process of learning how to take care and train horses, cows, and mules, and other animals that suffered in the ruins doing the war, and provide food supplies for the animals. That's when the countries started to form together UNNRA, which had hired the Seagoing Cowboys.
You also get to go places you never seen before like, in the passage it said that Luke explored Venice, Italy. It is very fun too because, you get to also play fun sports like tennis, volleyball games, and table tennis tournaments. It takes a lot of hardwork to join the Seagoing Cowboys.
It is a very good thing to join the Seagoing Cowboys because, it is a good experience to do an animal a favor, by taking care of it and providing with every thing it needs. It is a very positive program to go through, and that is why you should join the Seagoing Cowboys. | 2 |
9136091 | There are positive and negatives to all things in life. Some things we can't stop from happening. One thing that is in our future is driverless cars. In the future more and more people will have this type of car. The reasons to allow driverless cars in the future are like a three-legged stool. I am for the driverless cars because it can prevent car crashes, you still have some control of the car, and you can accomplish tasks in the car.
The first leg on the the stool is it can prevent car crashes. In the passage it says, "Google has had cars that could drive independently under specific conditions since 2009. Their cars have driven more than half a million miles without a crash." Also in the passage it explains that there might be an aspect where the car can watch you. If the car can see you are texting it won't let you take over the car. This would reduce the amount of car crashes due to texting and driving. I also think that with the driverless car it would reduce the amount of drunk driving crashes. On the other hand, I can see how peope would be against this they may think it could cause more crashes. For example, what would happen if the car stopped working and didn't alert the driver. The driver may have to idea that the car stopped and easily drive off the road.
The second leg on the stool is you still have some control of the car. The passage says, " They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills." In areas such as construction zones and accidents the car will alert you and you can take over. The car can alert you by having flashing lights on the windshield or vibrating your seat. I like to know I have some control of my vehicle. This way I know I can take over before it drives me into a ditch or a pond. I can see someone's view that is against this as why would I want a driverless car if I still might have to drive it. The car wouldn't be driverless if you have to drive through constuction zones. This could cause issue because people would want the car to be completely in control.
The third leg on the stool is you can accomplish tasks in the car. If you are running behind on getting something finished for work and you have a half and hour drive there that is a waste of time. With the driverless car you can get your work finished and still make it to work on time. Also, since the car is watching you if you recieve a text you can respond. I feel this will be much safer with all the drivers I have seen that text and drive. On the other hand, someone who is against the driverless car might feel this is unsafe. If the driverless car stops working and the driver is doing something else they won't have time to gain control of the car to stop from crashing.
There are positives and negatives to all things in life. Some things we can't stop from happening. The driverless cars are in our future. Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Nissan by 2020 plan to all have a driverless car according to the passage. The reasons to allow driverless cars in the future are like a three-legged stool. I am for the driverless cars because it can prevent car crashes, you still have some control of the car, and you can accomplish tasks in the car. This is how the reasons to allow driverless cars are like a three-legged stool. | 5 |
9139206 | The matter of wreckless driving and car crashes due to things like texting is not something anyone should look at lightly. Aside from such, there is also the issue of people not having the ability to drive due to several reasons yet still needing to get around somehow. Cars today are more often than not entirely controlled by the driver, so the thought of purchasing a driverless car is foreign to many individuals. People have come to be so used to the idea of driving vehicles themselves that not only do driverless cars sound odd to them, but also trepidatious. However, driverless cars should be looked at as useful and a positive alternative to everyday cars as they are aware and self-sufficient for their owner's benefit.
First, consider the matter of how driverless cars could be aware. Unlike typical cars today, these cars, which are under development by Google and other significant companies, are built with different types of sensors. These sensors all serve different purposes that make the vehicle more aware of its surroundings by constantly generating a 3-D interpretation of the car's general area. Not only that, but they also feature things like GPS recievers, position-estimating and motion sensors, and even inner features that keep tabs on the driver so they are able to take over the wheel if need be. With these functions in place, these driverless vehicles are able to be just as aware as humans are in the driver's seat, if not more so.
However, even with this in mind, how are these driverless cars more self-sufficient than regular cars? Maybe they have sensors and are just as aware as humans, but what else can they do that makes them so much better than regular vehicles? Unlike everyday vehicles, these driverless cars are in fact driverless with a few unprofound exceptions. These cars are able to not only be as conscious of its surroundings as a human can be, but it can also drive just like a human, too. This vehicle, which is sometimes addressed as a "smart car", has full control of the car's functions. It can brake, handle, and steer itself while on the road, only having the driver take over if there is a particular situation that needs careful maneuvering through. In such events, the vehicle will then notify the driver with an obvious display that signifies a need to be manually directed. Likewise, it can also handle some situations on its own with its ability to reduce engine power and apply brakes when necessary, making it a truly "smart car".
While efficient and benefitial to drivers, it must be remembered that as driverless cars they are very technology driven, which stands to be a problem in the face of the law. All that is needed for them to make their rise and overturn normal cars is for technology to make some progress. With these ideas in mind, let it not be doubted that with its awareness and self-sufficiency, the driverless car could stand to benefit many and should be further developed. | 4 |
9139e3e | Today, Jacob and Harley going to become Seagoing Cowboys. They're bothhaving second thoughts about going. I can't even get them to go to the Court House to sign themselves up. They need a job. They need to become Seagoing Cowboys.
"Come on, Jacob. You and Harley are going to love being Seagoing Cowboys. Just imagine see all of the beautiful sites and attractions in all the different countries in Europe and China." I said convincingly. Jacob just rolled his eyes. Harley sat quietly. "You'll see the Colleseum in Rome, the old Victorian Castle in Englnd, even the Parthenon in Greece." I said excitidly. That sparked their worn down brains. Harley sat up and Jacob leaned in to hear more. "The animals are so nice, too. You get tplay al of these fun games in the stalls when the animals are gone." Jacob spoke up. "But what happens if we get injured because of the war going on there? Won't the ship sink?" He looked concerned. I thought for a minute. "Don't worry," I said, " You'll be fine. Nothing bad is going to happen." Jacob and harley sat for a few minutes.
"We'll do it," They both said at the same time. Iwas so happy for them. "Great," I said happily. "Now, lets go down to the Court house to get you two boys signed up." | 2 |
913b5d3 | would you have a drigerless care ? what if its not safe or something mouthfunctions on the car. google and a whole lot of car companys are thinking to make these driverless cars. But they really should not make these cars because in the generation we live in these cars are either going to cause many deaths due to the people that dont care about life. what if the car gets in the wrong hands that can mean multiple deaths. On top of the deaths these cars are going to be very expensive.
the county is already going through money problems as we speak so think if they bring these cars out. were going to go into a drought as a country people will want the cars so now there doing anything legal or illegal to get them. the cars also are not safe in paragraph 9 its telling me that if i buy one of these cars i could crash or anything can happen. Because google hasnt even put everything in place for safety of the car or driver. The state doesnt have laws for the car or cant even tell if we are at fault for crashing the car thats also in paragraph 9.
there are pluses
to this car though dont get me wrong. it may not be safe or proven to even drive by itself completly yet but the work that they are doing on it to upgrade it sounds nice. if we can have these cars up and running fully without any problems i might just look into it. for now i think they should work on getting more sensors in and on the car so it can be proven to drive with no driver helping park or go through busy streets.
my complete thoughts on this car is it looks and sounds nice. i would have one in 2020 if i get the chance to eperince it. but they have to fix how safe the car is because it sounds cool it can watch you to always make sure your not a careless driver and you can be in the car with your friends without having to drive or get tired. | 3 |
913c55c | The auther suggedts that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. I agree with the author, studying Venus could be a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presests. Venus is one of the brightest points of light in the sky, making it simple for even an amateur stargazer to spot, and the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too. "Venus, sometimes called the 'Evening Star', is one of the brightest points of light in the night sky, making it simple for even an amateur stargazer to spot"(Paragraph 1)."Often referred to as Earth's 'twin', Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distant"(Paragraph 2). However, I think studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. I have couple reasons why I think studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents.
First of all, about 97 percent of a thick atmosphere blankets Venus are carbon dioxide. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is working on study about the planet, Venus. If NASA is possible to make spacecraft that could go to land on the surface of Venus, it will be difficult people research on the planet because 97 percent of the atmosphere are carbon dioxide. This condition makes different envionment from Earth."A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus"(Paragraph 3).
Secondly, the average temperatures of Venus is over 800 degrees Fahrenheit. "On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit"(Paragraph 3). It is not possible that people stay on Venus on this very high temperature.
Finally, the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what they experience on Earth."the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet"(Paragraph 3). For example, if a person's weight is 70kg, the weight will chage t o 630kg on Venus. It is difficult to work on researching on enus.
In addition, beyond high pressure and hean, Venusian geography and weather present additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful eathquakes, and frequent lightning strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface. "Beyond high pressure and hean, Venusian geography and weather present additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful eathquakes, and frequent lightning strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface"(Paragraph 3).
Therefore, Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density nd size, and occasionally the closest in distance. However, because of some reasons that I mensioned above, studing Venus could be a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. | 2 |
9140a3a | The Author of "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" suggests that Venus would be a worthy pursuit even considering all of the dangers that it poses. And yes, Venus would be a worthy place to research, the only downside is how dangerous it can be. Venus poses to be very challenging to study from the plant itself being hard to reach, also given the planets conditions. You wouldnt be able to get accurate data without being on the surface from the thick atmosphere of 97% carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid. While the tempurates above most of the atmosphere are roughly around 170 degrees Fahrenheit, you still could barely see through the thick blanket of athmosphere. While it being 800 degrees on the surface, with higher pressure than the deepest parts of our ocean, Venus still is a worthy planet to study. Venus is known as our sister planet, from how it's size and density is relative to our own. On Venus, there is also evidence of the planet having water on it at one point. with Canyons, mountains, ridges, and valleys. Meaning it probally supported life like our's on Earth. Venus is also the closest planet that is relative to our's besides Mars. To sum all of it up, Venus is a very worthy subject to do more research on, besides all of the dangerous factors. | 2 |
9143473 | Venus sometimes called "Evening Star," Venus is the brightest point of light
in the night sky. Venus is the second planet in the solar system and it is nearby Earth and Mars and they were the planetary neighbor. Humans have sent in Venus to discover
the planet Venus. Since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours. Numerous factor contributes to Venus's reputation as a challenging planet for human to study. Venus has a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent of carbon dioxide. Even more challenging clouds of highly corrosivesulfuric acid in Venus, On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degree and the atmospheric pressure is 90. This planet Venus is a challenging place to go for the astronouts.
Long ago Venus was probably covered with oceans and it could have various form of life, just like Earth.The planet has a surface of rocky sediment including familiar feature like valley, mountains and craters. The value of returning seems indisputable. The NASA has one particularly compelling idea for sending humans to studu the Venus. NASA has probably a solution of how can they float above the fray. NASA is working on other approaches to studying Venus.Electronis made of silicon carbide have been tested in chamber simulating the chaos of venus's surface.
This is not easy conditions, but survival for humans. Sriving to meet the chllenge presented by Venus has a value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the plane itself. Humans explore and discover the Venus to share what's inside the Venus even it is challenging and it is dangerous just to share their knowledge to us. | 2 |
9145057 | In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" the author describes the new technology facial Action Coding System or FACS which allows a computer to pick up on what you feel like and how you are feeling. I claim that the use of FACS in a class room enviroment could have used but mostly believe it is not a valuable resource in class.
One reason why It is not a vaulable resource is it only programed to read six basic human emotions which are Happieness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear and sadness. The human body has way more than just six emotions so getting a high accuracy reading on how you are really feeling is out of the question because FACS uses the a process of a 3-D model Dr. Huang states "The process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles." This quote explains that it has to use a way of making a model which can sometimes take some time depending on the processing power of the computer not only that but human emotions can change quite quickly and if the pc doesnt make the model fast enough the computer can easly fail at getting and accuarate reading.
Another reason why it is invaulable is that a human is already prepared to read another persons emotions because it is a task that is already done each and everyday. Dr. Huang is talking about the device using video images to pick up the emotions of each person. Dr. H states "using video imagery, The new emotion recognition software tracks these facial movments in a real face or on a painted face." This quote brings to light that the machine can read emotions but one could say since it is still in new development that not all of the bugs or glitches have been worked out not only that but you also have to devote more resources to keep the machine working which can average to be a heafty hit to your wallet.
Another person could say it is vaulable to help students and keep them entertained in a lesson and switch it up a bit. Dr. Huang is talking about how it can change the ads you see and veiw if you dont look happy when you look at them. Dr. Huang states "For example when a web ad appears on your screen and you smile a similar ad may follow, But if you frown the next ad will be different. A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored," Dr. Huang predicts. This Quote and prediction of Dr. Huang states that is has potential to keep students intrestred into work but the problem being is that a program so complex like that requires so much code and algorithms that it requires a beffy computer to run so you would need to make multiple servers capable of holding that much information not only that but the school would have to divert much more of their budget toward stronger computers because Dr. Huang states Your home Pc cant handle the complex algorithms used to decode smiles" This saying from Dr. Huang proves that a PC for home use is not strong enough for this program so what makes you average home pc different from a school one other than filters put on the pc which reduces preformance but the worse thing that could happen is what if the power happens to shut down or go out do to a surge that program requires power to run so that is also a big problem.
In conclusion, The use of FACS in a classroom enviroment sounds like a great idea but when you put it in different catagories it fails in almost every one of them you dont need a computer to read emotions when a human is perfectly capable of know how you feel even if it is just a little bit. The schools will need more funding diverted to even run the program and keep it working when schools already have a budget that they have to work on and they will need to be prepared to do something if the power goes out because that system will not run if it has incffecient power. | 6 |
91506ed | Dear, State Senoator I believe keeping the electoral college is best on what we know and whats fair. There are many reasons on why we should change by popular votes but keeping the electoral vote is also best on things that can be better for the united states.
"Voters in toss-up states are more likely to pay close attention to the campaign-to really listen to the competing candidates-knowing that they are going to decide the election. They are likely to be the most thoughtful voters, on average....." This qoute explains how the most loyal and is trust worthy voter that they focus on who is best to be our president and to let them choose who should are president be and to able to recieve the most information and attention from the candidates.
"Voters in presidential elections are people who want to express a politcal prefrence rather than people who think that a single vote may decide an election......"in this qoute they explain how the people who vote get to express a political prefrence than a person who just votes just to see if they can make a diffrence in just one vote .The reason larger states get more attention than small states is because the population is higher in the large states and the more people there is have diffrent opinions.
This is why we should keep electoral college votes instead of changing it by popular votes | 3 |
915416d | I believe the face is just a natural landform because its not possible for a planet to have a face. I feel that NASA just wants the public's attention, yea they have pictures but with technology now anything can look how you want it to. Pictures can be very decieving and these pictures don't look quite real. In the article it not everyone was satisfied, that's because noone really believed it. Not many people really even believes in aliens so why would they believe that markings have been left behind by them.
Im sure that Mars is just having a few natural changes because its so old. Also the article explains that they have a digital camera that makes thing three times bigger than pixel size meaning that this "Face" doesn't quite look like a face without this effect on it. And so what if it did look like a face that doesn't mean that there's life on this planet. Its just having a natural change after many years, that's why NASA is waiting years to go back to get another picture, because its changing in those years.
Maybe its just that I'm the type that has to see things for myself in person to be able to believe but as far as the little information they have on this planet I will never believe this. See in the first few pictures what looks like what's happening is the ground is slightly erupting which makes it forms oddly. Just coincidently it happens to look like a face.The 2001 picure honestly didn'tlook like a face. So that's partly why I feel its just a natural change on Mars. | 2 |
915c0f7 | Im going to except the offer because Luke wants to take care of the horses,cows, and mules that are going over seas but if you like animals you should sign up or if you like takeing care of animals then get down here and sign up. I know because in the story it said the UNRRA (the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration) hird "Seagoing Cowboys"to take care of the horses,young cows, and mules that were shipped overseas. Luke and Don signed up. And if you have not been on the ocean and would like to well sign up. Or if you have not been to arround the world you would like to be a seagoing cowboy I know this because in the artical it said " They got their seaman's paper and boarded ths SS Charles W. Wootster for greece- with a cargo of 335 horses plus enough hay and oats to feed them. So if you like all these things sign up I know I would because I think it would be an awesome experance to get to see and know I think you would have fun too. | 2 |
9163d1f | I believe that the Facial Action Coding System is quite useful because it could keep the students interested and more willing, plus it could help students learn to become more happier.
This could detect how you're feeling and keeps you in interest. It could change the topic you're looking at or it could stop showing that ad you're getting sick of. If you are showing mixed interest, it could show you a different topic to keep you interest and want to learn more.
It helps us learn more about our facial features, like how all 44 major muscles help the model knows what expressions to detect. For example, your frontalis pars lateralis muscle (above your eyes) raises eyebrows when you're surprised; your orbicularis (around your mouth) tightens your lips to show anger.
Also could detect what is fake and what is not, you could save lives be detecting who is really happy and who is faking it. The intentions are great and it helps alot along the way. If someone is really sad but fake a smile, then people could help that person start to become happy. Also it could help to teach you how to get out of a rut and not stay in one.
All in all, I do believe that the FACS is a great and useful and reliable is very valuable because you could change so many lives. It has all these great details ans helps you better in the long run. Students could have more interest in school and have better ways to stay up and awake during school, find new interests and grow much more. They could make even more, like reading someones mind, wouldn't that be amazing! | 3 |
91680e1 | Mars the red planet is our next destination for the human race and we want to find out as much as we can about it before fully exploring it. Something interesting has occured and many people think that it's the work of aliens. Why would aliens want to buid a giant face? Is it really the work of aliens or just a natual landform? I'll tell you why it's just a natural landform and not an ancient Egyptian-like pyramid.
With the recent photographs of the so called "face" it has become clear to me that it is just a natural landform as seen in the picture taken in 2001. The phoograph shows that the mesa is made from the same dirt as the dirt around it. If aliens wanted to buid shelter, wouldn't they want to buid something more sturdy? Also wouldn't there be a quarry of some sort to get the resorces to build that thing? It is just a natual landform just like the ones you would see on Earth.
As said in the article, the time of year that the photo was taken was during a cloudy time of year so that could have made the photo blurry and harder to see thus making the mesa look like a face. Garvin even says that it reminds him of the Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho.
Mars is a cold desert planet with very little atmosphere or resources. There have been signs of water on Mars but that is long since gone. If there was life on Mars it's long gone but it is very unlikely for life to have ever existed there.
Space harbors mysteries and we as humans have a desire to uncover them. When something wierd happens (the face) we get to work in uncovering what it really is. There really is only one way to find out what it is for certain; we have to go there and see for ourselves which will bring up more and more questions about space. | 4 |
9168693 | Have you or someone you care about ever been in a car wreck? With driverless cars, this may be even more of a possibility. Ask yourself, how often does technology fail us? What if your life, and another human beings life depended on that technology?
Technology is not capable of thinking or processing real life events, and scenarios.
In paragraph 4, line 2-3 it is stated that "For starters, they needed a whole lot of sensors." This sentence is refering to the vehicles. They need many sensors as it is, which range from 3d modeling systems to GPS,and cameras. It is too easy for technology to fail, especially when under daily usage.
In paragraph 8, line 10 it is stated that saftey if a very large concern. If the manufacturers are concerned about the amount of saftey that these new vehicles provide, should you as a driver not be? When on the road, saftey is a very large factor. It has a role in everything from speed limits to stop-lights.
"Modern traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver in control at all times." That is clearly stated in paragraph 9, lines 3-5. In paragraph 9, lines 2-3, it is stated that "Lawmakers know that safety is best achieved with alert drivers." If our states lawmakers believe that this is true, who are we to question the saftey in it? Did you know that in most states, aside from a selected few which consist of California, Nevada, Florida, and the District of Columbia, it is illegal to test, let alone drive computerized cars.
As Americans, we should believe in saftey, and the welfare of our fellow citizens. Do not put your life in the hands of a computerized machine. | 3 |
91732ad | should we have less car usage in the U.S.? The answer is yes because it could stop alot of the pollution going into the atmosphere. This could help with the green house gases going into the ozone layer and harming the earth.
One reason that we should cut back on car use is because of the green house gases going into the air. In Europe passenger cars are why 12% of green house gases arer from there. But the U.S. is even more responsible for the woping 50% in somer areas here. So if you were to cut back here that would be a good thing so you can cut back on the pollution. I bet if you were to use bikes instead of cars it would cut back on the 50% of green house gases here. For example take a look at NewYorks bike-sharing program helped out the mobile world so think about it.
Another reason is a lot of people really like the fact that not having cars is a great factor to the earth. Just take a look in Germany in the town of VAUBAN residents of this town went from being minivan driving soccer moms to people who feel at ease because thw willingly gave up there cars. Which a lot of people cannot do just like that. 70% of the families in Vauban do not own cars and about 57% sold there cars just to move there which means that they all willfuly gave up there automobiles just to stay in that town and that has cut back on a lot of pollution in Europe. In the passage a women says "when i had a car i was always tense. I am much more happier this way."
so in conclusion, i belive that giving up your car to cut back on pollution just like they did in Europe is a great idea because quite frankly. I think we would be in a whole better situation if we did. This would mean a lot of the green house gases in the ozone now would not get added onto. so to me bike are a perfect way of doing this or even walking is a good substitution. So after i've explained everything are you in or out? | 3 |
9176404 | Have you ever wondered what it would be like to . Not drive cars everywhere but to just walk or ride bikes . Well in this eassy thats what i'm going to be talking about . I am going to be telling you about the advantages of limiting your cars uses . And maybe even make you want to even not use a car anymore . For example its better for the enviroment , you won't have to wait on traffic , and you dont have to worry about having to get a licensess or renewing it every few years , and also you wont have to worry about you car breaking down .
To start off you wont have to worry about getting a licensess or getting it renewed . If you dont drive a car then you dont have to worry . About having to pay for anything for you car like your licensess .Or if your car breaks down having to worry about paying for the expensise .And if you dont drive you wont have to pay for gas . You wont have to worry about getting stuck in traffic .Or having to watch for drunk drivers or bad drivers . Stopping at red lights constantly . If you dont drive cars then you wouldnt have to always do this stuff .
In paris after days of near-record pollution they enforced a parical driving ban to clear the air of the global city . On mondays people with even numbetred liceness were ordered to leave there cars at home . Or they will get fined for 22 euros . And the same for the odd number liceness . And because of this the smog cleared up . And there was not as much pollution in the air as there was . And because of this in Bogota its turnning into a big hit . There is this porgram to have a car free day where all you do is . You leave your cars at home and you either skate , hike , walk , or take the bus . And because of this there was no traffic jams . And because of this programit making people less stressed .
In conclusion , its better to just walk or to ride bikes everywhere . Because you wont have to worry about driving a car places .You wont have to worry about if your car will break down or not . And wont be polluting the air . | 3 |
917dd2e | Do you know what is Electoral College? Electoral College is the process of election of the President by a vote in Congress. Each candidate running for President in your state has his or her own group of electors. The presidential election is held every four years on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Most states have a 'winner-take-all" system that awards all electors to the winning presidential candidate. A Certificate of Ascertainment declares the winning presidential candidate in your state and shows which electors will represent yor state. Smetimes could not be the best choice for our country. I strongly disagree that keeping the Electoral College because it is unfair to voters and it can cause problems in your state.
To begin with, I strongly believe state senator should change the election by popular vote for the president of the United States because Electoral College is unfair to voters. From the text says "candidates dont spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning."Meaning the winner take all system, which is unfair. During the 2000 campaign, seventeen states didn't see the candidates at all, including the states Rhode Island and South Carolina, and voters in 25 of the largest media markets.
Secondly, I strongly believe state senator should change the election by popular vote for the president of the United States because it can cause problems in your state. Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors. Statisics show that Congress would get 34 electoral votes but they aren't really voting for the president. For Instance, the single representative from Wyoming, representing 500,000 voters, would have as much as the 55 representatives from California, who represent 35 million voters. That many voters vote on one party for president and another for Congress.
I strongly disagree, that state senator should change the election by popular vote because electoral college is a better way to vote. The Electoral College is widely regardes a non democratic method of selecting a president that ought to be overruled by declaring the candidate who recieves the most popular votes the winner. Each party selects a slate of electors trusted to vote for the party's nominee and that trust is rarely betrayed. For example, In 2000, when Gore had more popular votes than Bush yet fewer electoral votes.
The Electoral College requires a presidential candidate to have trans regional appeal. The winner takes all method of awarding electoral votes induces the candidates.
In Conclusion, the Electoral College is a process of election of the president by a popular vote of qualified citizens. I strongly believe that state senator should change the election by popular vote for the prsident of United States because electoral college is unfair to voters and it can cause problems in your state. | 3 |
91808c5 | One reason you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program is beacaues you get to travel to places you never went before.Luke liked the job Don which is his friend, had told him about.Plus Luke like adventures,and like to go to fun places.Another reason is it's fun, I say it's fun because you get to be the look out like Luke,did and yell so the people can hear you,so no animal will come and eat the people. Luke also want to be a Seagoing Cowboy because he wanted to help these countries( it say that in paragarph 2, line 2).
If I was a Seagoing Cowboy I would be the lookout, because I would like to help and sever my contry just like Luke.
Luke had made nine trips, the most trips any Seagoing Cowboy ever did.
Also I think Luke is a brave young man to be a Seagoing Cowboy.After Luke had craked his ribs he have not been doing work for a couple of days. | 2 |
91835e2 | To start off, the electoral college is a system thats been around for ever but is getting outdated. I think that some people might want a different system while others prefer the same or dont care. For all we know,Bob Dole could be right about abolishing the electoral college. Or maybe it needs a new way of carrying the votes. Me, I think we should get a new system as well, but heres why.
Time has nothing to do with this way of voting, nothing at all. But maybe we should see some changes in the way we elect a president. 60% of people would prefer that a direct election be held. Others are probably lazy or cant make it if one was held, and thats why they prefer the system were using now. But problems are starting to surface with this, already outdated system.
The very first problem already is the fact that they vote for the slate of electors and not to vote for just the president. Then the fact that you vote for 1 out of 34 democratic electors. If that one that you chose won the statewise election they would get the plethora of votes that were earned. All this locomotion instead of just voting for the people that you want to lead the whole country. If we were to vote for just the president and vice president of the state and whomever else we vote for, less problems would be seen.
More factors are that the state legislatures are basically responsible for choosing the electors. This is a very unfair factor because they choose people who oppose a candidate. If that happens, the popular votes dont transfer to that specific candidate. Also sometimes the electors refuse to vote. This system is unfair to voters because of the winner take all system that occurs.
The electoral college may have been around for a long time, but is getting old. The systems it uses are irrational. Its methods are outdated and bias. There is not much reason for it. We need a new system. | 3 |
9185c9b | There are many advantages of limiting car usage. Like conserving resources when we dont drive cars. It also lowers emission and imprves safety as said in Source 4: The End of Car Culture. When you stop using cars pollution will decrease. And when the pollution decreases the earth will be healthier. Being able to drive at 16 doesnt help the advanages but between 2001 and 2009 23% of young teens stopped driving. Some advantages are its helps the enviroment, keeps people safe, and also gets pople to exercise.
The first advantage is that it helps the enviroment. Cars pollute the air a lot and if we limit the usage of cars then the air will slowly become more clean. Also the cars cause smog. With the use of cars stpping the smog will clear. As stated in Source 1: The End of Car Culture, the United States has long been one of the worlds prime cultures. But as people started to drift away from their cars, the US peaked in 2005 and is still steadily dropping. When here is cold nights and warm days the warmer layer of air traps te car emissions.
The second reason with limiting car usage is a good idea is because it keeps everyone safe. The pollution is bad for peoples health. Also a lot of people actuall get hit by cars so limting the use will cause less injuries. You wont always be looking out for the pedestrians. Also kids are the ones who get hit by cars most because you cant see the so no cars means less children getting hurt. Another good thing that will come out of limiting car usage is that we will se less gas and then we will have more natrual resources. Passener cars are responsible for 12% of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe and up to 50% in car-intensive areas in the US as stated in Sourc 1: In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars.
The final reason why limiting car usage is because it gets people to exercise. A lot of people are couch patatoes, especially in America, and dont do anything so having limitations with their car will have to make them move a little. All people like to do is use their phone or eat or watch Netflix on their free time but having no car will make them do more physical things. Having no car wll make people ride bikes from poin A to point B r even walk. Have fast food places n very corner doesnt help either because it makes peope get in their car to drive what could have been a five minute walk. When ave you ever seen a person walk to get food? Never.
Inconclusion, there are many advantages in limiting car usage like it elps the enviroment, kes people safe, and makes eople exercise. People are safe. The enviroment is slowly getting better. People are starting to exercise whether they like it or not. In some countries if yu own a car you have o pay $40,000 to have a parking space, along with what you aid for the house. | 3 |
9186571 | You should join the Seagoing Cowboys program. The cattle-boat trips are an unbeliveable opportunity for a small-town boy. Besides helping people, Luke had the side benefit of seeing Europe and China. But when Luke went to see the Acropoils in Greece he said it was specail. He also said that gondola ride in Venice, Italy, a city with streets of water.
Luke also found fun time on board, especially on return trips after the animals had been unloaded. The cowboys would have so much fun the would play baseball and volleyball in empty holds where animals had been housed. Table-tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and games also helped pass time.
You should join the Seagoing Cowboys program because you can have a lot of fun there its fun, helpful to people, entertainig you if you are bored and its cool and it has a lot of space. You can save people and animals. You can save the person if they are drowning by your boat or you can save an animals if they fall of your boat.
But being a Seagoing Cowboy was much more than an adventure for Luke Bomberger. Luke said it opended up the world to him he said he is grateful for the opportunity. It made him more aware of people of other countries and there needs. That aware stayed with him, leading his family to host a number of international students and exchange visitors for many years.
Helping out his aunt Katie's farm as a boy had prepared Luke for hard work, but not for the dangers at sea. On his second trip, Luke served as night watchman. His job was to check on all the animals every hour. One rainy night,after making his hourly report to the captain, he slide down a slippery ladder on his backside. Luke's heart racedas he shot feet first torwads the opening on the side of the ship. Thats when he figured out he had more room to play his games. I hoped that helped you and I hope you join the Seagoign Cowboys program and thats why you should go you can experince different stuff that you never knew. | 2 |
918d6f4 | In the article "The Challenge of Eploring Venus" it talks about the second planet from our sun (Venus) often referred to as Earth's "twin". Becuase Venus is sometimes very close to Earth, humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on the planet. The author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the danger it represents. Considering that no spaceship survived the landing for more than a few hours, it explains how dangerous it could be to explore it.
However, the author still seems to think that Venus is worth studying. Even though Venus is so inhospitable, the author claims that scientists still discuss further visits to its surface. Reason being is becuase Venus may have been once like Earth at one point. The Author states that Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various froms of life, just like Earth. Even until this day Venus still has some features that are similar to Earth.
Venus has familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters. It even sometimes can be our nearest option for a planetary visit which is crucial considering the long time frames of space travel the author states. The NASA (The National Aeronautics and Space Administration) has a possible solution for sending humans to study Venus after three decades. It would allow scientists to float above the fray and avoid the unfreindly ground conditons. Instead of the temperature being 800, it would be lowered to 170 if they used a blimp-like vehicle that would hover 30 or more miles over Venus. This would make Venus's conditions a little more bearable.
Putting this idea to action wouldn't provide enough insight of Venus and its conditions. Scientists couldn't even take sampls of rock, gas, or anything else if they did it that way. Therefore, the author claims that scientists are working on a new idea to get up close and personal to Venus, despite the risks.
Furthermore, the Author supports in many different ways how pursuing venus is worth the dangers. He provides examples of how sicentists are working to make something that would allow astronomers to visit and explore Venus, how they are fascinated by the planet, and how Venus has value not only becuase of the insight to be gained but also becuase of human curiousity will most likely lead us into many intimidating endevors and that dangers and doubts should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation. Therefore, the author supports the idea that studying Venus is worthy of pursuit depite the dangers very well, | 4 |
918e455 | My name is Luke Bomberger and I strongly encourage you to join a group I was a part of for 3 years called the "Seagoing Cowboys". I think you should join because you can have opportunitues you may never have again, like helping people who were left in ruins revive their towns, food supplies, animals, and you have a extraordinary experience because you get to go places you may have never had the chance to go. It is a great program to be apart of.
One main thing you do in this program is help countries who according to the article in paragraph 2 " were left in the ruins." One thing you do is revive their food supply. Some ways we did that are brought them food in the cargo ships we were on. We loaded all sorts of different food on the ship, along with other things they needed an made our way across the Atlantic Ocean. Another thing we coudl do is bring seeds with us to plant over there. This is a big help because then we would have more room for other things they needed just as bad. The seeds would be planted and grown to have fresh fruits and vegetables. We also brought young animals to raise and butcher for meat.
Another way we helped the people and countries who suffered during World War II was bring animals over to replace the ones that were maybe killed when they fought or that were killed for food. Some of the animals we brought were, horses and young cows, and of course the food forthe animals to eat. The cows were brought over for many reasons, one reason was simply to raise and butcher for food. Another reason was so they could help people carry heavy things differnet places. They were big helps. Horses were brought over for transportation and to use to pull big loads. If farmers also wanted to use them for farming reason they could.
While I was in this group I went a lot of places that otherwise I would have never got to go. While we were over seas I got to tour an empty castle in Crete and marveled at the Panama Canal. I also got to see famous landmarks such as the Acropolis in Greece. During our ways to and from we seen Europe and China. I took a gondola ride in Venice, Italy a city with streets of water. I got chances that I would have never got if it wasn't for this program.
One last thing that makes me happy that this program exists is that I would have probably never know what it was like to cross an ocean on a boat without this program. I also met new people and seen things that me seeing never crossed my mind. I had fun while I was in this Program. I loved being called a Seagoing Cowboy.
Do you think you want to be a Seagoing Cowboy? Does it sound like something that you want to be apart of? You can have the opportunity to go places you might have never got to go, help countries that would other wise never get help and most of all you could be improving the lives of others. Look into it you may never know if you like it if you never try. | 4 |

Thats why its good for people to studdy about thinks an just do so they would know what they getting into .earth right now never sound back to me but earing an learing about differnt plants that maybe we might be able to vist in years is aswome to learn an hear about that its not just one plant we could live on. | 1 |
919a690 | How would you like a free trip to Europe? Well, you can; for free. All you have to do is sign up and you'll be able to go on a free trip on a cattle boat! Some benefits of this journey consist of seeing amazing places and landmarks, spending time with your friends, and most importantly, helping others who are in need.
On your way to the amazing country of Europe, you will be able to see some of the greatest places in the world. You might see the Acropolis in Greece, take a ride in the water filled streets of Venice, see the Iefle Tower, and more! At some parts of your journey, you will be able to get off of your boat, and buy a souvenier so you can cherish your memories in Europe.
In your free time, after all of the animals are shipped off, you can have some fun and memborable time with your friends on board. Some things that my friends and I liked to do in our spare time are things like table-tennis tournements, fencing, boxing, and other great games. If you aren't the active or sportslike person, you can do other worthwhile things like reading, sleeping, and whittling.
My fondest memories of my journeys were the parts where I was able to help people. It was such a great feeling to be able to help people who can't do everything all by themselves. You sometimes even get to meet great and amazing people while you are caring for the others. Some of the friends even become some of your best long time friends. The people you are helping usually are kind to you and show gratitude and gratefulness towards you. The best part of this, is that it makes God happy.
The time you spend on the cattle boat might be the best time of your life. You get to see great places, spend time with your friends, and help people in need. You will always remember your time with the people. The journey might be one of your greatest memories. | 4 |
919c02d | techonology called the ficial Action coding System enavles computer to identify human emotions is really good thing. we would like to know If they are lying about their emotional. Dr. Huang is really smart but I think he is right.
First,computer to identify human emotions is really good thing because we would know If they are lying to us or no. Acoording the text " can we actually "calculate"emotions like math homework",I think they got the right point because our emotional is like calculate. They have to calculate are we really sad or happy. Another example from the text" The Mona lisa demonstration is really intended to bring a smile to your face, while it shows just how much this computer can do". I Hope our school should do like that so people we could help other people whenever we are sad.
Second,these day a lot of people they are lying to another people to much. Honestly, I used to cheat on my girlfriend too back in the day but the good part is that we don't know facial action yet. If we both know that time I bet she will say" let do this because I want If you are cheating on me". Still right now she don't know that I cheat on her but we are already broke tho. I saw on social media a lot Boyfriend and girlfriend did that. When they know they both got cheating,both of them feel wierd. People is really good at hide thing I hope we are did Facial Action so we could know how is lying or nah.
Finally,I think Dr huang is really smart doing those kind of thing." The software is the latest innovation from prof,Thomas Huang if the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science at the University OF
lllinois."Some day I want be like him,He is my idol from now. Also If someone ask me who would I want to meet right now,I would say" I want to meet with Dr. Huang".
Conclusion,every year different technology is coming out,I can't Imagine what is going be like in 20 year later. What kind of technology would be going out. | 2 |
919cc62 | ''Are you kidding me, you actually think that figure on mars was created by aliens?'' ''Yeah I do, if it isn't aliens then who or what made that face on mars.''
''I dont know how that got there, but i'm telling you now it wasn't made by aliens.''
As you can see the three different photos showing the figure on mars was just a misunderstanding. In the 1976 photo it looks blury, but in 1998 and 2001 photos you can see it more cleary. In the article it states '' The camera on board MGS had to peer through wispy clouds to see the Face.'' So that means the clouds made it look like a face.
Also during 1976 the pixels on the camera could have been bad so it could't take clear pictures. In the image 3 it shows it more clearly, so that means technology has gotten better. According to the article it says ''Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters, compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 Viking photo. That proves that the camera in 2001 was better then the camera in 1976.
Nobody will ever know if aliens made that figure on mars that looks like a face.
It could have been a butte or a mesa. For example in the passage it states ''There must have beem a degree of surprise among mission controllers back at the Jet Propulsion Lab when the face appeared on their monitors. 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.
''So there, I proved to you that the face on mars was just a mesa.'' ''I don't care what you say im sticking to my opinion.'' ''Okay what ever, I know i'm right and you're wrong.'' | 3 |
919d215 | In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" the author explains how a new computer software that can recognize emotions through the face works. It is pritty impresive and i belive that it can totally change the world into a better place. This new invension is the key to paradise on earth
This invention can be used for several things, including a reliable lie dictector. " by weighting the diffrent units, the software can even identify mixed emotions" nick (4). this quote means that we can see peoples emotions which means when the machine senses fear or denial we can actualy know if the person is telling the truth. this invention can be used in the court of law to stop criminals and to free the inocent. "Eckman has classified six basic emotion- happiness, suprise, anger. disgust, fear, and sadness" as of right now there is only six emotions that the software can read, but witth a little more upgrade it can start recognizing guilt, fear, inocense, dippresion and shame. who knows, this may even save a lot of people who wants to commit sucide.
Has of recently we have had a various amount of school shootings in the united states and we have done absolutely nothing to stop it from happening. i belive our leaders have two options to stop this madness and it is either they make guns illigal and contrabands or they domesticalise this software devises to every school, so we may know the intentions of fellow student who come to schools to shoot it up. "Of course,most of us would have trouble actually describing each facial traits that convey happy, worried, etc" nick (5).this quote proves that we can not really tell what people intentions are by just looking at them, thats why we need this device in every school, airport, churche, court, and even home.
This software could be added to phones. since it is a software it could be used by a phone camera, which means everyone should or would have it. you can finally now if your spous loves you before getting into a relationship, so it may not end up in having a fatherless kid due to divorce or beign cheated on
Altough tis could serve as a disadvantage to some people, by people knowing their buissness and knowing if they are lying or not it is still going to be for a good cause. life will be hard but there will be less coruption, deaths etc. after the whole prosses the new generation to come will be better than us, and thats what life is really about. | 4 |
919db95 | When you vote for president you want to vote for who you choose. Thats not how it always works though. We you vote for president you are actually voting for a canadiate who will then go aand vote for president. Is that really fair? Many people dont think so. The electoral college should be abolished because it isnt always fair, who cant be sure if your voting right and it is not democracy.
When you vote for a canadiate you trust they will vote for who they say they will. but is it always true? what is the canidate feels like they dont agree with that person any more and vote for a diffrent one? You and evrybody else who voted for that canadaite are now voting for an opposing canadiate. is that fair to who ever voted for that canadiate now?
You can never be sure if you are voting right. what if that canadiate dose not vote like they are suppoed too. "Can voters control whom their electors vote for? Not always." says Plumer about the chance a canadiate will vote for someone else. You can never really trust someone you have never met. Humans are very dispitefully creatures, we all lie snd decive. how can you trust a random canadite just because he says he or she will vote for who you want to vote for? wouldnt you rrather vote yourself?
Democracy is giving people the rigth to help govern thre own countray. Isnt the electoral collage taking that right away? Even though this is in the Constitution it is unconstutional. "At the most basic level, the electoral college is ufair to all voters." says Plumer. He is corect about the electoral college and its unfairness to US citizens.
The electoral colleage may have had a good reasson for existing when they made the constution but that was about a 100 years ago... Dont you think we have chaged since then? The anwser is we have and so should they way our goverment works. If we keep the same goverment into the future where everything will change we will be in for a load of trouble. | 4 |
919ecf5 | The statement that has been gooing around stating "the face on Mars was created by aliens." The statement is false, the face you have seen on mars is a natural landform. The photos you have seen was a hill developing in the process over time. We have taken a photo of the strange spot on the planet Mars and it has been reported,that it is a natural landform.
We did not have the same technology as what we have had in the past. When we first took the picture we did not have the same technology so we had a blurry picture. But when we have our technology now, we have better cameras so that we can get a better image of the big red planet called Mars. We have no proof that aliens have built this face in the surface on mars. This face you see on the planet is just a landform.
The face you might see in the photograph is just a mind illusion that you might see a face. the face you see is a hill that has been formed by the ways of the planet its self. It might have been molding from the dust and the wind dragging the red sand and dirt off of the hill its self.
We have no way or knowledge to know that aliens have built this face on the hill. The face has been forming for probably thousands and thousands of years. We think the forming on mars, like craters and hole in the ground, plus the face is just a natural landform forming on the crust of mars its self. How would we know if other forms of life built this face?...We dont know because we do not have that much knowledge about the space. There are infifnity of space out their that we have not explored yet so how would we know if the aliens have built this.
The thought of this statement that aliens have built this face in the crust of mars is ludicris. The face on mars has been formed by natural landformings in the crust of Mars. The theory of aliens made the face is as dumb as a bump on a log. | 3 |
91ad483 | Limiting car usage can only be positive
We don't need them if we all work together
Car pool denser cities alts will be available (public transit)
Cost effective and convenient
Sidewalks > roads
Convenient(s1l6)
Better for us(can still interact without over-driving)[interactive biking/walking | online interaction]
Giving our cars up in this day and age seems impossible; but if everyone can work together, new opportunities will arise that'll outweigh the convenience of having a personal vehicle. We won't need cars if we all work and cooperate with one another. Not only that but it'll become more cost effective and convenient as a whole in the long run. Once all is said and done, limiting car usage can only be positive.
Many questions would arise if this idea was approached, wouldn't we take longer to get places? Isn't it inconvenient and a step-back from personal commuting? The answer would be yes, but for the most part it's the point. Sure you make take longer to get places by car pooling or taking public transit, but if anyone is doing it there'll be no comparison of time with personal commuting, personal commuting will be gone. If no cars were available cities would compensate with free bikes when commuting or public transit. The no-car weekend in Paris allowed free public transit, so in the long-term it'd also be free (Source 2). City planning would be modified to compensate for the increased commuting time; making the long commutes a little easier. If we all work together we won't need cars, and in the end it'd be positive overall.
In a world of reduced personal commuting, the cost of living would improve as well. Money spent on gas or car maintenance would be nonexistent. Instead of using taxes on expensive roads, they'll be used on inexpensive sidewalks, just like in Bogota (Source 3). With the extra cash from no car expenses it'll be easier to purchase luxury items you may want. Cities will be made with convenience in mind, placing key stores in easily accessible areas, similarly to Vauban's store placement (Source 1). This would answer the question of inconvenience, A ten minute drive can become a ten minute bike or walk with strategic placement. In the end, a reduced car usage society would be more cost effective and convenient, a definite positive compared to an automobile society.
Cars are definitely important to many people, but only because the majority have cars. Take everyone's cars away and they wouldn't have a reason to need one. If we all work together we won't need cars, people will help one another and cities would be planned better. In this society you'd have more money to use as you please, instead of using it to survive. Most important of all, the time to take a car someplace rather than any other alternative would be the same; important locations can always relocate for everyone's convenience. A world without cars can only be positive. | 4 |
91b046e | I think the technology to read a student's emotional expression is not valuable. My reasoning for thinking it isn't is because it shouldn't be that serious to know one's emotions. The idea itself at first sounds cool if your trying to figure a painting's expression (like Mona Lisa) but, using it on a student to figure how the emotions they feel when they're doing something on the computer (math questions assigned by a teacher or a reading passage, etc.) is just unessassary and weird.
My evidence to support the claim of how this isn't really useful or nessassary is on paragraph 6 where it all explains how a computer should know when you sad or happy or confused/bored. It also explains how using the expressions the computer picks up it can determine whether the ad your seeing is boring you or confusing you and in my quiet honest opinion it is unessassary.
in conclusion, i think the technology to read a student's emotional expression is not valuable. | 2 |
91b2f7f | Luke's point of veiw if you wanna join or participate the saegoing cowboys is he said it was an opportunity of a lifetime, so you get to do it once. Another reason that Luke thought you should join or partcipate is you can take care of horses,young cows,and mules that are being shipped overseas. You also get to feeed the horses.When you have time on the ship you can play baseball,volleyball,table-tennis tournaments,fencing,boxing,reading,whittling,and games to pass the time. It even opens up the world for you to discover.
When Luke was discovering the world he was grateful for the opportunity and it also made him aware of people of other countries and their needs. Luke also made 16 trips around the Alantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean 2 times to help people who were affected by World War ll. Another reason to join the Seagoing cowboys program is you can see the people in needs who got their houses destroyed in World War ll. When Luke was in the Seagoing Cowboys program he visited many unique places like New Orleans,Greece,Europe,China and he also took a gondola ride in Venice, Italy and also toured a excavated castle in Crete.
You should be careful while being a watchman in the dark because Luke slid on a slippery ladder on his backside. A small strip oh metal stopped his slide from flying overboard. He was happy to be alive but he couldn't work for a couple days of his cracked ribs. Also Luke travled on the Charles w. Wooster and as heading to Greece. It will take 2 weeks to cross the Alantic Ocean. Also what he did on the ship is he cleaned stalls which you might have to do.The last thing he did was help out in the kitchen. You have to help cook in the kitchen. | 2 |
91b555c | I think that this new technology would be useful in school. It would help out teachers and the school corporation. Although this would be expensive there are more pros than cons.
This would help out teachers when it comes to what subject students are and are not getting. If the students are not getting the material this computer would most likely read that the student is feeling anger. The teacher would then know that the anger is most likely frustration and they can try and solve the problem. The machine would also be able to tell the teacher if the students are happy. This lets the instructor know that they are probably doing a good job and the students get the material.
These days you can never be too careful, even at school. With so many school shootings happening this year you can only hope that it will not happen at your school. That is where this machine will come in handy, it can let the counselors or the instructors know when a kid's emotions are 90% angry and need to go to the counselors office. This machine could help prevent emergencies before they even happen since it can get people the help they need before they do something wrong. This does not have to be the case with only anger it can also do this with sadness and tell the counselor when a student is depressed. This machine would help with the psychological state of the school and make it seem like a more cheery place.
The overall mood of the school would be happier if this machine got installed. There are going to be kids who are not going to be happy and just fake it anyway. But, in the article it says "Moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions, but also may even help produce them." This means that if students are faking happiness they will eventually start to feel happy regardless if they are faking it or not. Students in the school will be happier and the entire place will look more enthusiastic like a learning zone should be.
This new technology would be refreshing and help out schools everywhere. It would help out teachers and counselors know when you are not feeling right. It would be expensive but a lot of schools could use this and make a ton of use of it. | 4 |
91c35c5 | In this artical it show that a computer can testg your real emotions. "For instance you probably tell when yuor friend is feeling happy or sab by there discripstion on there face". You can clearly see if you happy or sad by how you cheak bones on there face. It is a good part of technology that it constucts a 3-D computer modl of your own face. So when you are taking a test or a quize on the computer the computer can seee your expresion. And when yor teacher passes by they can see the computer and they can see your face. It cna show happiness, surprise, anger,disgust, fear and sadness when your on the computer. They can also see whne your ae board. we use the same emotions every single day and we might not even now it. You might give you best friend a gift and there emotions are going to change as when they are looking at the present. It could be very good and there going to be happy or its going to be bad and your going to have a sad emotions. And wile you get the gift your friend can see your emotions and how you react to it. So I think its a good divice to poot emotions on the computer and see how the emotions change overtime wile they are on the computer. As I said before your teachere can be walking by and see how your emotions change over the time you are taking a test or your taking a quize. So I think its a good product on the computer to test your emotions. | 2 |
91c3f8d | I think the use of that technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable. My claim for this is I think it would be very helpful. It could help with teachers trying to know how a student is feeling. It could be used for good, teachers will then know if their students are upset or angry. The teacher will also be able to know if your confused, and will be able to help you with what your confused with. This new technology would be very useful, helpful to a lot of people.
In the article the author states some good evidence to why this isn't something bad. For example, the author said " for instance, you can probably tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look on their face. Of course, most of us would have trouble actually describing each facial trait that conveys happy, worried,etc." With this new technology you will be able to know your frineds exact emotion without any trouble. The article also says stuff about how it can help your teacher know what your emotion is. Another thing that supports this article is when the author tells us about the research and notes that have been made from Dr. Huang. A example of Dr. Huang notes is "most humans communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication." There are many good evidence to support the claim. From this new technology you can learn way more than just what emtion a person is feeling. It reveals so much science too.
In conclusion, this new technology would be very useful. It also would be valuable to have. It can help in many way, for many reasons. It accutally would make things easier for some people. For example is could help doctors, therapy workers, teachers, and etc. Why, because it will be more easier to know how they are feeling, so they will know to take them serious. | 3 |
91c6024 | The seagoing cowboys program is a fun program. You get to travel all over the world. You would get to see the excavating castle in Crete.
It is very fun traveling all over the world. You would be in a boat that crosses the atlantic ocean. you would go to Europe and China. The cattle boat would take you to Greece to see the Acropolis. But this whole trip is to help people. You will also go to Venice, Italy. You would also cross the panama canal,which was very fun. If you go on this trip you would start off a watchman. So every hour you would have to check up on the animals and report back to the captian. There would be a lot of hay to feed the horses. You can also play games on the ship when there is no horses. The favorite game I played was baseball. But there are lots of other games to play. their are nine trips in total.
This trip is a very fun and their is a lot of things you can do. The most impotant thing on this whole trip is helping the people. You got to take care of the animals. If you come onthis trip it will take some time to go to the other places. I really hope I convinced you to come on this fantastic trip. | 2 |
91d444b | Is Facial Action Coding System valuable to students? Do you even know what a Facial Action Coding System is? Well, it is a program or a system that was made from codes to help a computer identify human emotions. Well, I think that the Facial Action Coding System is valuable to students. The reason I think this is because your video games could have more expressive faces, your PC at home can't handle the complex algorithms, and it can reconize when a student is becoming confused or bored.
The first reason is that your video game could have more expressive faces. Some people enjoy playing video games a lot but what is the point in having this fun video game if your going to have faces that look like they are mad in the game. If the charcaters in game could show expression I think it would make a lot more people into the game. If more people like the video games just because they got expressions then a lot of more people will start buying games. Which means that the gaming stores will get more money, and then the government would get more money. So in conlcusion one of the reasons why it is valuable to kids is because it could make video game charcaters have expressions.
The next reason is that your PC at home can't handle the complex algorithms. The computer system that was designed by Prof. Thomas Huang made the program for a sufficicated computer that can handle the algorithms. Your PC at home was designed not to hold complex stuff on it, it was designed to hold simple stuff. So, if a teacher got this in their classroom then it could benefit the kids and they would probably have a PC that could hold the complex algorithms unlike the ones at the kids home. Therefore, another reason is that your home PC can't handle the complex algorithms.
The last reason is that a classroom computer could reconize when a student is becoming confused or bored. Having this system on a classroom computer would help the kids out a lot. The reason I say that is because what if there is a kid strugggling really bad to understand the problem they are working on but are too shy and embarassed to ask the teacher for help. What are they going to do then, just take a bad grade and deal with? But, if they have the system on the computers in their classroom then the computer can just read their facial expression, see they are confused, and then help them by pulling up a helpful website. Also if the kid is bored and the computer reads that then they can pull up a helpful website for the material that they are working on but is also a website that they can play games on. This shows that the coding system also can help students in a classroom if they are bored or confused.
In conclusion the Facial Action Coding System is valuable to students in a classroom because your video games could have more expressive faces, your PC at home can't handle the complex algorithms, and it can reconize when a student is becoming confused or bored. This system can help these kids in a lot of ways. I think this system will be effective and useful for students in classrooms. Facial Action Coding is a good thing for kids and should be in schools everywhere. | 4 |
91d5205 | To you, a car may mean no more than just getting from point A to point B. Cars play a much bigger impact than it may seem. They affect not only the person driving, but the people around it. They also have a negative impact on the greenhouse gases. So riding a bicycle to work one day, won't just be good for you, it will also be good for the enviroment around you.
Cars have become a universal item. A lot of people have them, but no really gives them much thought. There are a few places that have spent the time and really developed ways to keep a community clean without the hazardous fumes coming from the car exhaust. For example, Vauban, Germany has developed a system where cars are banned. The only place you can keep your car is on the outskirts of town in designated garages. Due to this, most people dont even have a car, and have chosen to sell it before moving in. In Bogota, Columbia they had a developed a day free of cars where anyone that drove a car would have to pay a fine. According to the governer it was a amazing thing and everyone was participating in it. This also helped get some the nasty gases that they produce away.
Cars give of hazardous gases threw their exhaust. These gases will rise and get caught in the ozone. Which impacts the enviroment greatly in more ways than one. It can cause the air your breathing to be toxic. It also is one of the main reasons for "Global Warming". Paris learned this the hard when they reached a record level pollution. They decided they had no choice but to ban half the cars one day and ban the other half the next day. After this the congestion was down 60%, proving that it has helped greatly. Just imagine if one day instead of driving you could ride a bike and help change the eviroment.
Places have tried to develop ways to reduce the levels or gases. Some have been very succesful, for example, in Bogota and Vauban they have found creative ways to help. The question is whether or not cars should be done with all together. To that i'd have to say no, cars play a big part in getting to work on time or traveling. Taking cars away would mean taking away family trips and other fun things to do with cars. The real answer to the question is that cars should not become so much of a necessity. There should be ways for people to get around better without the use of cars. Now what that might be, the future has yet to tell. | 4 |
91d5de5 | A student is sitting in his seat alternating his facial expressions from a frown to a smile every other minute. The student is not necessarily happy, sad, or pocessing mixed emotions, but simply playing around and testing the new technolgy that has been placed in the classroom. New technology has been developed that can detect facial expressions. Dr. Hang predicts, "a classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming bored." What he doesn't stop to think about is wether this technology would be distracting, or bring other negative effects to the students. The use of emotional expression reading technology is not valuable in a classroom because it can be a distraction, put forth false information leading to personal problems, and cause students to feel uncomfortable making them unable to learn.
First, the use of technology that can calculate facial expressions would be a distraction to the students and the teacher in a classroom. Technology such as telephones, iPods, and smart watches have been banned in the classroom at most schools. This is beacuse they are a distraction to learning. Imagine a high technical computer that monitors all of 44 major muscles of your face to decect the percent ratio of the six basic emotions: happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness placed in a classroom of students from the ages five to eighteen. This would lead to a lot of distraction beacuse most students at this age would be curious of how it works, and if it works. Instead of listening to the lesson, the students would be messing around and trying out different facial expressions. This technology can also be distracting to the teacher beacuse they will have to be worrying about how their expressions are as well. They will be focusing on not looking negative, or being to harsh on the student since they are now being watched. This may ause them to not be as honest on feedback, and they may not be as focused on teaching.
Next, the technology in the classroom can put forth false information and casue personal problems. The technology can read, as previously mentioned the percent of how much anger, fear, and sadness you pocess. Many students at this age are going through a lot of changes and have many mixed emotions. For example, if the technology detects a particular student contains a large amount of sadness, fear, and anger for so many days, the student's parents should be notified because they could have emotional or mental issues. Though the technology seems very well designed, sometimes our facial expressions contradict our actual emotions. The technology can put forth false information of how we are feeling, and cause serious personal problems. Some people may believe the use of this technology in the classroom is beneficial becasue it monitors when students seem uniterested or bored, but a teacher can do such on their own, and all the many problems the technology gives is not worth it.
Finally, the technology can be a problem in the classroom beacuse it may cause students to feel uncomfortable. Many students struggle with their presentation skills at this age beacuse they may feel insecure or pressured, knowing that people are watching them. With this technolgy watching their every move and expression changes, it may cause them the same kind of pressure. This can lead them to not want to participate in class. In school the best way a teacher knows if you understand the material is if you ask questions, answer, and are involved. If this techology stops them from that, then it should not be in the classroom. In most schools, cameras are not allowed in the classroom, so that rule should be applied to this use of technology as well.
The use of emotional expression reading technology is not valuable in a classroom because it can be a distraction, malfunction and put forth false information, and cause students to feel uncomfortable making them unable to learn. In conclusion, the technology would bring a lot of problems to the students and teachers in the classroom. If there is only one good reason against many reasons not to have or do something then, it is usually not worth it. That rule applies here. Facial recogniotion technology should not be in a classroom beacuse it is uneccessary and brings neagtive effects to the students and teachers. | 6 |
91dadd2 | The author of this essay suggests that they definately know Venus and have done their research on this topic before. There is quite a bit of information in there to handle all at face value, percentages and dates gallore. Either way, I have come to the deduction that the author very much desires for scientests to explore Venus.
According to the essay, Venus is often refered to as eaths twin because ofit's similar size, density and occassionally the close distance to earth. Another fact is that They took the time to research Venus' atmosphere, which is 97% carbon dioxide blankets over the planet itself. It goes on to inform us about the weather systems and the environment Vus really holds behind those thick blankerts of gas. Another supporting claim for their research is that they go through the history of what we know about Venus and or speculate it was like. Thhey also talk about what the future could look like if we do intend to explore Venus.
IN conclusion, this author is extremely passionate about out 'twin' planet and it is very clear to see that theywish someone would go out there and explore. | 2 |
91db679 | The advantages of limiting car usage is incredible because we can actually just get out of the house and hang out with friends and family. Also people could get some exersice at that by walking to work or school or wherever you are going to and the percentage of people with obesity would most likey drop down excessivley by just doing this.
You also might actually have a happier life by giving up automoblies for example what this person Heidrun Walter, a media trainer and mother of two said "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." This evoultion of limiting car usage is very beneficial especially for the environment by decreasing carbon and greenhouse gas emissions from cars and all of the bad gasses going into the air by all these automobiles and just maybe get or climate and everything back together they way it should be.
In this new approach, to make suburbs more compact and more accessible to public transportation. Stores are placed just a walk away, on a main street, rather than in malls along some distant highways where you need a car to get there.
By doing things like this especially in America would be big in safety because you would have to worry as much about your children being hit or ran over by cars or being kidnapped to because you can only walk or ride bikes, taxis and public buses.
Therefore you can also take time and actually look where you are and where you live and take it all in instead of panicing and being all tense and stressed on having to rush or go somewhere and just being in a calm, peaceful and quiet location. Like in what thisperson Carlos Arturo Plaza, a businessman said " It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution" as he rode on a two-seat bicycle with his wife.
By doing this it would also decrease the amount of congestion in different cities across the globe.
In my opinion, I'd love to try in do this because we would not be on our phones going strait to our cars instead we would be walking or riding our bike or get on a public bus and actually see and meet people instead of just waiting in the traffic and waiting to just go and do whatever we want to and the Internet is a big deal in this to. A sociology professor at Drexel University and director of its Mobilities Research and Policy Center cities various factors like: the Internet makes telecommutung possible and allows people to feel more connected without driving to goo and meet up with friends. The rise in cellphones and car-pooling apps has faciliated more flexible commuting arrangments, including the evolution of shared van services from getting to work. | 4 |
91db757 | I don't think it would be worth the money to put in technology in a classroom to see what a student is feeling, because not everyone wants everyone knowing what they are feeling. What if that student just wants to be left alone? When I'm mad I don't want everyone knowing what's going on, I'd rather not talk to anyone unless I ask them for help about the situation. If they did put the technology in a classroom to tell what every child is feeling everyone would know each others business.
In the article it stated that it could help teachers know if the child is bored or confused, but does that child want the student to call him or her out on it? Probably not because if that student is struggling in class they don't want everyone knowing, if that student is struggling or confused then they need to ask the teacher at a seperate time if they don't want everyone to know how they struggle academically.
Not everyone is a emotional person they don't know how to share their feelings but they probably don't want some machine telling them how they feel and how they are feeling by how they look. Because anyone can fake a smile or a happy moment, but if that student doesn't know how to express themselves without a machine telling them, then they most likley don't want everyone else knowing what they're going through.
Technology has advanced majorly in just the past few years, but we are humans and we need to be able to show our emotions without a computer telling us how were feeling by how we look on that day. We all have bad days and we all have good days but on the bad day if that computer tells me I'm depressed then I could believe that and my mental state not be stable anymore because that computer told me I was depressed based on how I looked and felt one day.
We as humans need to learn how to express ourselves without using an emoji on our keyboards. Technology has made our lifes easier but again has changed too many things in todays world. | 3 |
91ddfbb | Do you love animals? Do you love traveling the world? Do you love helping others? If so, the Seagoing Cowboys program could be the job for you. If you join the Seagoing Cowboys program, you will have the journey of your life. You will get to travel the world, care for animals, and help others.
A lot of people always dream of touring around the world. If you become a Seagoing Cowboy, touring will be a normal part of life. For example, I, Luke Bomberger, got to see many sights. I was able to see the Acropolis in Greee, go gondala riding in Venice, Italy, see the excavated castle in Crete, and see the Panama Canal on my way to China. Not to mention just being all around Europe and China. If you become a Seagoing Cowboy, sight-seeing will become pretty much a daily activitiy.
Most people in this world are animal lovers. For these people I can say that being a Seagoing Cowboy is the lifestyle for you. Everyday that you are on the cattle boat, you get to treat animals. I was on a cattle boat with 335 horses and it was an experience of a lifetime. I got to feed, clean, and care for the horses everyday. If you are willing to take on the responsibility of caring for animals, then sign up for the Seagoing Cowboys program.
If you become a Seagoing Cowboy, you will get to help others in need. For example, at the end of World War ll, many countries in Europe were devistated and destroyed. I helped by exporting animals such as horses, cows, and mules to other countries from Europe. If you join the Seagoing Cowboy program, you will get to say that you helped people at their most devistating times.
In conclusion, if you become a Seagoing Cowboy, you will travel the world, care for animals, and help others. As a Seagoing Cowboy, I can say that at the time I was a Seagoing Cowboy was the best time of my life. | 3 |
91e224d | There are many advantages of limiting car usage. It affects your mental health. It effects your environment. It effects people and companies economically, too. These articles provide a lot of information, and I'm going to use examples from the text to show you.
First, limiting car usage affects peoples' mental health. Most people say it makes them happier using different modes of transportation.
""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,..."
This is an example from the 1st article, 'In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars" written by Elizabeth Rosenthal.
""It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution," said buisnessman Carlos Arturo Plaza as he rode a two-seat bicycle with his wife."
Here's another example, from 'Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota' written by Andrew Selsky. Although some people are mad having to use a bus or a train with other people, it's a good stress reliever not having to drive all the time and not having to deal with the road rage.
Second, limiting car usage effects the environment. Cars give off gas that's not good for the Earth. The gas from the cars creates smog in some parts of the world.
"Paris typically has more smog than any other European capitals..."
In that quote from 'Paris bans driving due to smog' written by Robert Duffer, it shows that the smog is having an affect of them. Safety is also something that would be increased if we limited car usage.
""Pedestrian, bicycle, private cars, commercial, and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emissions and improve safety.""
With less cars around, people would be less likely to get hit. Right now, many people die every day from a car accident or a hit and run. If we lessen the amount of cars on the road, we'd also improve road rage and traffic flow.
Finally, limiting the amount of car usage would effect people and companies economically. People wouldn't have to pay for gas as much as they would have to. It would help out public transportation companies, like the company that runs the Lynx busses or 'the Line' in Chicago. It would cause a decline in auto-insurance companies and car companies that sell the cars.
"...companies like Ford and Mercedes are already rebranding themselves "mobility" companies with a broader product range beyond the personal vehicle."
This quote from the article 'The End of Car Culture' by Elisabeth Rosenthal, shows that car companies are trying to stay ahead of their competition. They're trying to appeal to people who prefer bikes or buses rather than a personal vehicle.
"...recent studies suggest that Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by."
In this quote from the same passege, it shows that we're already nearing this goal. Car usage is already being limited by the newer generations of people who care about the planet and find it easier to bike or use public transportation.
In conclusion, limiting the usage of cars would help a lot. I think that helping the environment would really be good for us as people. Limiting the usage of cars would make it safer to walk around and bike outside, even drive. It helps people economically even though it hurts certain companies economically. It also helps us mentally by helping us be less stressful and calming down more easily. It would reduce road race as well as certain stress all-together. | 4 |
91e7a88 | According to the text had said seagoing cowboys program allowed him to exprience adventurs and visit may many unique places. Luke had no idiea his life would change soon after his high school graduation. He would work two part jobs like the grocery store and the bank. His friend don will invited him to go to Europe on a cattle boat. He knew the oppertunity of a lifetime. It was 1945 world war 2 was over in Eruope. To help these countrys recover their food suppleys,animles,and more. UNRRA hired "seagoing cowboys"to take care of the horses,younge cows,and mules that were shipped overseas. Luke and don signed up.
Luke turnd 18 before ariving to Greece,which meant he could be draft in the military service. Luke had made nine trips. Luck traved the high seas. It took two weeks to cross the alantic ocean. The eastern coast of the united states to china. caring for the animals. They had to feed and wated two or three times a day. Stalls had to be cleaned. Helping out anut Katie's farm as a oy had to prepared. Luke had hard work. His was to cheek on all the animalsevery hour. After makeing an hourly report to the caption. He slied down the sleery ladder on his back.
Luke also found time to have fun an the bored;The cowboys played baceball and vollyeball games in the emtpty holds where the animles had been housed. Talbe tennies tournaments,fencing,and more. Bing a seagoing cowboys was much than an adventure for Luke. Luke is grateful for the opportunity. that is my writeing is about Luke becoming a seagoing cowboys. | 1 |
91ed47e | I dont agree with the agruement of driverless cars. One reason why i dont agree is that in the article it states "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. This means the human driver must remain alert and be ready to take over when the situation requires." The reason why this isn't a reason why i would vote for a driverless car because if the driver falls asleep while driving, then the car would try interact with the driver and also dont know what to do in the situation.
Self driving cars ruins the car community of building, customizing, and also driving fast in the cars to show top acceleration. The car enthusits group want to be able to show their car to others and show their interest in cars. The self driving cars are going to take that from the car community.
In the article it states "wouldnt drivers get bored waiting for their turn to drive?" I agree with this statement because if there is a time period where people dont need to take over the car the human mind will be bored and try to find things to intertain themselves with. I believe that humans should be able to drive all the time. The only thing a smart car can do is show displays of how the driver surroundings are presented.
There are going to be numerous amount of problems when the car is presented. For example in the text it states "If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault-the driver or the manufacturer?" This problem shows how the manufacturer failed to alert the driver of the problem going on with the car. Its not the driver fault for not being incontrol with the car. The car explained how it was going to alert the driver if it need human skill to help.
Inconclusion, this article about self driving cars is a dangerous task at hand. To refer back to the ninth paragraph, it shows how driving laws want to keep drivers, passengers, and pedestrians safe, but there is a probable chance of the technology failing. | 3 |
91f03ee | The introduction of the venus is a worthy pursuit despite the danger is because itis nearest by the sun and venus can covered the largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life. venus is the closest planet to earth in terms of density and size sometime Venus is right around the corner is space terms.
The planets surface temperature average over 800 degrees fahrenheit, and the atmosperic pressure is 90 time greater than what e experience on our own plant. the venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solor system if the venus is closet to the sun it gonna be reallly hot for the world.
The conclusion, the planet of the solor system our travels on earth and beyond shoukd not be limited by danger and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of the imagination and innovation sometime its gonna be danger by the planet and sometime its gonna other thing. | 2 |
91f2d1b | Is studying venus a worthy pursuit ? Venus is a worthy stuying pursuit because it has many challenges but it may have been earth like. In the beginning it talks about the plant being hard to examine up close and venus havingthe hottest surface. the middle talks about Venus once being a Earth like planet and the idea from NASA and machines that will let scientists float above the venus landscape. The end talks about silicone carbide being tested over Venus's surface.
Venus is a challenging place to examine because it is really close to the sun which makes it hard to examine. According to paragraph 1 it says " While Venus is simple to see from the distant but safe vanatage point of Earth, it has proved a very challenging place to examine more closely." Venus is a hard planet to examine because of how close it is to the sun. None of the spacecraft's have survived the landing to Venus so no spaceships have went to Venus since. According to paragraph 2 it says " Maybe this issue explains why not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus in more than three decades. Numerous factors contribute to Venus's reputation as a challenging planet for humans to study, despite its proximity to us." A spaceship has not went down on Venus because ofthe fails with the space creaft's.
Venus is way hotter than the temperatures is 90 times greater than what we experience on Earth . According to paragraph 3 it says "Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system, even though Mercury is closer to the sun." Even though Mercury is closer to the sun Venus is so hot because of all the erupting valcanoes, earth strikes, and lightning strikes that may land on Venus's surface. Astronomers believe that Venus was once similar to Earth because of its features. Paragraph 4 says "today venus still has some features that are analogous to those on Earth. The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valley's mountains, and craters." The Astronomers think since Venus looks similar to Earth because of the rocky, mountains, and valley's type of features.
Some people may think studying Venus isn't a worthy persuit because of how dangerous it could be for astronomers to examine it. People also may think coming up with devices to make scientists float over the surface is putting them in a position of getting hurt due to all the fails that have happened.
In conclusion studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers because it will make people more curious about the planet and it will also allow scientists to learn more about the planet and get a better insight up close of the planet rather than far away. With their examiniation the electronics they make will help them figure out howbthe planet was before. | 3 |
91f9dd8 | I think that its a good idae to send more probes to venus even despite the cost. i am totally on bourd with this. The author made some good points and suggestions why we should send more things to venus.
first scientists are researching a way to last longer to get to venus and land on it because it is the closest planet to us but defining the risks it will take they are doing research. but they are trying to make a man pod for a human to go there and study it first hand.
second scientists are also finding a way to make these probes and pods to withstand venus the planet. simplified electrons made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of venus's surface. it has lasted three weeks in simulation.
lastly they are also looking into an old technology that has more withstand to that stuff and its called mechanical computors. they were created in the 1900 and was used in world war 2 they had no electronics it was just gears and wires and levers. but they do the job they can withstand a high pressure of heat and other forces.
the author did support his story with facts that if we dont do it now then human curiosity will do it later. | 3 |
92069ac | Many people in today's world depend on cars to get them places. They don't realize the effects cars have on our environment and how much better things would be if we limited car usage. There is many other ways of transportation that are much easier and better for our world. I believe car usage should be limited because it will cause less pollution, it will take away stress, and it will save people money.
When cars are used, they release chemicals into the air which causes pollution. Pollution is not good for our air and wears down our atmostphere. Global warming has always been a serious matter with the amount of people who drive cars so if we cut back on the car usage, it would decrease the amount of pollution going into the air. In Source 2 it shows an example of how Paris had intesifying smog because of these cars. They banned cars for a couple days and the smog level dropped. Also in source 2 it says " Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of france". When cutting down on car usage, it helps many things and can help you stay healthy and feeling good.
Another major reason we should cut down on car usage is that it will take away a lot of stress us humans have. In source 3, buisnessman Carlos Arturo Plaza said " It's a good opurtunity to take away stress and lower air pollution." Imagine your driving down the road and some guy pulls in front of you without a blinker and you almost hit him, you get all mad and stressed out that you almost hit him. Road rage is very common in drivers and we could decrease that stress with limiting car usage. Also if you were to get into a car accident, that gives you so much stress which affects your everday life.
To buy a car, you need lots of money. You need to buy the car, then buy insurance etc. Why don't just save your money instead of buying a new car when you could just use some other form of transportation. In source 4 it states, " .. Cash strapped Americans could not afford new cars, and the unemployes weren't going to work anyways." This shows that many people don't have the money to buy a car, why spend you money on a car that is not needed instead of buying something else. Cars are not mandatory, you can get to places many other ways and could save lots of money. Also you could save money on gas if you didn't have a car.
In conclusion, limiting car usage will only result for the better. There is plenty of other ways of transportation that aren't as harming and expensive as cars are. | 4 |
9207534 | Imagine yourself in a driverless convertible. You think you have no worries and everything is perfect. The wind is running through your hair and you reach down to grab a pair of sunglasses. Then all of a sudden your in a nasty road rage of cars and you crash. But how? Driverless cars are supposed to be safe. In reality, so many things can go wrong and malfunction. Who would be responsible in paying the hospital bills and car charges? The makers of the cars or the person in the drivers seat?
Not only can we not trust the cars but we can not trust us humans. As said in paragraph 8, "Why would anyone want a driverless car that still needs a driver? Wouldn't drivers get bored waiting for their turn to drive? "
Everybody is different and will react differently or not react at all to the signals letting us know when it is our turn to drive. What happens if we get so bored we fall asleep and wakeup in a crash? Even if there are rules and regulations to the driverless cars we are all not guarenteed to follow them. Until there is more signals that will help every indivudual , no one should be driving driverless cars.
What happens if a car malfunctions? You can not always trust the makers of the cars. Malfunctions and recalls can be rare but happen often. Cars are not always coded properly. What happens if the engineering code messes up and drives you somwhere else or into a ditch? There should be more saftey precautions other then the airbags and seat belts .These things are always bound to happen so we should always be prepared when it comes to new inventions.
Who is responsible in paying for the damage that happens? As said in paragraph 9, " If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault--- the driver or the manufacturer?
If the companies thought smarter they would know it is not a good idea to have driverless cars. Not only are you saving time but you are saving money. There would be so many court cases on who is paying for hospital funds and that would cost a lot of many for the companies, that some may not be able to afford.
Overall, there should not be any driverless cars and they should make it illegal in all states. Driverless cars are not safe, due to malfuctions , and the irrespossibility of us careless humans. Unless there is more testing and helpful signals to keep all individuals safe there should be no driverless cars. | 4 |
9207878 | Their is a group of people called the Seagoing Coyboys, they are a very unique group of people who travel all over the world and experience alot of different things. One thing that they experience is what other people need and some places can inform you about many different things like animals and rare animals. Their also can be dangerious parts of this job allthough it sounds fun. You are taking a big risk traveling over seas alot and dealing with the weather and the ocean waves. There may also be a chance of taking care of animals like feeding them and caring for them to keep you bussy.
The Seagoing Cowboys is a very amazing job to have. People should join the Seagoing Cowboys because it will be very interesting depending on what type of person you are. If you are an explorer and you dont have any moey to travel if you get a job like this you will go places that you never even heard of before. Maybe you like going through rough weather like hard rain or 20mph wind for example. If you do like weather like that then this is the job for you because you travel over seas alot thats why the name of the group is called Seagoing Cowboys. Also when you turn 18 you will be old enough to join the military service. You can also have fun when your in the Seagoing Cowboys they play sports like baseball, tennis, basketball, and they also have reading clubs adn writing clubs.
I would join the Seagoing Cowboys if I could. Just think about it, why wouldnt you. Its a very unique group of people and they go on adventures and they have fun also what more could you ask for. There is one thing though, when you travel to far places it will take long periods of time like weeks. | 2 |
9209bae | Reducing the amount of cars used would benefit the fellow citizens greatly. Limiting car usage would decrease the amount of pollution in the air greatly, because they are among the main causes of emissions into the air among many countries. A better enviroment for the citizens would arise because the infrastructure of many cities would improve and the people would exercise more, therefore becoming healthier. Also, congestian would dramatically decrease because less people would be on the road which also leads to less car accidents so less people would be getting injured from a car accident.
Car emissions all over the world are among the main causes for the air pollution and greenhouse gasses. In cities llike Paris the air pollution rose so much that there was a temporal driving ban on the whole city. This ban eventually cleared the air but if this could happen in one city it is more than likely to happen again in another city. These car emissions are clearly a large part of this air pollution as Elisabeth Rosenthal shows the U.S has a fifty percent of greenhouse gas emissions from the abundant amount of cars. Limiting the car usage would clearly diminish the amount of emissions in the air and prevent these large amounts of smog and pollution to form in the air that the people are breathing.
In the city Bogota a car-free day was hosted to promote public transportation, and it had created many benefits to the city's infrastructure. With more money coming in from these public transportations the government has more money to fix and improve upon the city's infrastructure. The sidewalks were fixed, more restaurants were opened, and more people attended parks, and sports centers. If more cities implemented this car-free program for longer than a day the people would be becoming healthier and the enviroment would be a lot safer with better sidewalks, and better infrastructure in general. Also with these new buildings being created more jobs would naturally also be created therefore unemployment would also be decreasing in the cities that are restricting cars. In Vauban, a city almost no cars, the citizens live happy with a rectangular shape to their city to maintain everything close and a small walk away from almost everything, therefore the infrastructure for the city is clearly well built and no cars are needed.
The restriction of cars would also make the roads a lot safer considering there are less cars to crash into or cause accidents. As shown from the Paris ban on cars, congestion had decreased sixty percent from what it was originally. The only people driving would be the conductors of the public transportation vehicles, therefore a majority of the drivers on the streets would be experienced and not be drunk while driving. The decrease in congestion would also lead to a much more efficient mode on transportation from the busses, and they would travel much faster to their destinations.
With the restriction of car usage the positive benefits created would immensely improve the living conditions and enviroment that the citizens live in. With a cleaner enviroment free of pollution the people would live healthier, infrastructure would improve greatly allowing more jobs to be created as well, and less congestion and car accidents would occur in the cities. The restriction of car ussage would improve the citizen's lives greatly. | 5 |
920a499 | There has been an increasing concern about whether driverless cars should be developed as the technology of autonomous cars advances rapidly. Google has had cars that can drive themselves under special conditions since 2009 and many people are excited to witness the development of driverless cars. However, there are also some people worrying about the disadvantages of driverless cars. In my opinion, driverless cars have more negative effects than positive effects at present.
First of all, driverless cars are not safe enough and today, these so-called driverless cars can only control themselves under centain conditions, which means human drivers are still necessary. Just as BMW pointed out:" 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." This means human drivers still play an important role in driving and they should always be prepared so that they are able to take over immediately if necessary. It deserves consideration that whether what we want is just a driving-assisting system. If driverless car cannot control itself under all conditions safely, it is not worth devoting millions dollers and endless hours into its development.
In addition, there are not systematic laws about the driverless cars now. As the author mentioned in the article, who should be responsible if an accident happens because of technology failures, the driver or the manufacturer? There are many more problems to think about. For example, how could laws be made so that driverless cars must pass certain tests before entering market? Should people make a law to force car owners to do a function test regularly? All these problems deserve public attention and should be taken seriously.
Last but not least, drivers may be challenged mentally since they need to be prepared to take over the car while in most of the time, they do not have to do anything. The author stated that some manufacturers hope to do that by bringing in-car entertainment and information systems that use heads-up displays. It might be helpful. However, people still cannot enjoy "driving fun" and a better solution is needed.
In conclusion, driverless cars have negative impacts on the society, at least at this time. At present, the uncertainty of safety, the lack of relevant laws and the psychological challenges it brings make driverless car impossible to be widely accepted. As an attractive concept, it may be inspiring to people, but it still has a long way to go before it can actullay be taken into practice. | 4 |
920d8da | The advantages of limiting car usages is that it lowers green house gases, less traffic, and a reduction in enviromental problems.
By lowering green house gases our enviroment will be better. Less lung porblems or other desieses. fresher air and less enviromental problems like global warming. Even smog in Paris or Beijing, even China.
No traffic to worry about, no lights to stop at for 10 minutes. The only thing that could make you late for work or school would be you walking to slow or taking a transit or subway. Also, people will be fined for parking in the wrong area, making people want to drive less.
A reduction in enviromental problems. Like, global warming or green house gases. less trees would be cut down for parking lots or paved streets.
The advantages to limiting car usage would be that it lowers green house gases, less traffic, and a reduction in enviromental problems. Such as global arming, green house gases, and smog. | 2 |
92101ff | What this story is about is a boy named Luke that helps get animals on and off of the ships that he is one this job is called "Seagoing Cowboys". Wha twould you think is hard about this story? not getting sea sick, not falling off the boat, or getting along with the other crew mates? the answer is trying to clean the stalls is my oppinion. All of these things are hard to do, but you can allways go on with life. You try to do the best that you can, but sometimes tou fail ,but you can also succied. His favorite thing to do is to care for animals and he does it in the same way he cares for people. his aunt had a farm and now his childhood farming is starting to pay off the only thing that he never practiced was trying not to get sea sick while he was crossing the Atlantic ocean. He thought that his job was the coolest thing in the world to be doing for his job because he has been doing this since childhood. After all the animals were gone they didn't know what to do. So they played beach games after the stalls were all clean. They played volleyball, baseball, table-tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and the other fun games that made time fly by like a rocket. | 1 |
9211106 | Many scientists working for NASA, as well as myself, have found, and taken pictures of a natural landform on Mars that resembles a face. We have discovered a very unique landform. Some people, like you, believe that the face is some form of an alien monument. I do not believe that this is a claim that can be supported, nor is it a true claim, but I can see where your ideas come from.
The scientists I work with, along with myself, believe that this is definantly just a natural landform on Mars. When the pictures first came from the Viking 1 spacecraft, we were suprised, but that didn´t last long. We realized that this is just another Martian mesa. We realized that the only reason why this landform looked like an Egyptian Pharaoh was because of the unusual shadowing. Taking another picture of the face was necessary to us when MGS arrived at Mars in 1997. When the MGS flew over the face it took another picture that was much better than those that the Viking 1 took. This picture really proved to us that this was just a natural landform. Since that day was cloudy, some people didn´t believe that the picture was sufficient. In 2001, we got yet another picture that proved to us that this was just another natural landform. With the technology and the camera used to take the picture, if there were small shacks near "the Face" or unusual markings on "the Face" we would have been able to see them. There was no actual markings or Egyptian-style pyramids near or on the face, so we decided it is just a natural landform similar to Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho.
When we first found this face I could see where you were coming from about thinking it is an alien monument. You may think that it could be something they worship, or it just represents something like our statues do. You may also think that NASA scientists, like me, just don´t want to share about the fact that there might be alien life-forms, but I think that if we knew anything about that we would want to share and profit off of it. Also this is not an alien monument because if we thought that it was, we would want to explore it more and get it out to the public, but we´re not. This should probably give you and your fellow believers about it being an alien monument a clue that it really is just a landform.
So, in conclusion, this natural landform that looks like a face is simply just a natural landform similar to what we have on Earth. Aliens did not create this to resemble a face, it is just a result of shadowing on the landform. | 5 |
921202b | Dear State Senator,
The election should be changed to popular vote instead of using the Electoral College for the president of the United States. The Electoral College is unfair to voters and is an outdated system that needs to go.
In Source 2, the article states "Consider that state legislatures are technically responsible for picking electors, and those electors could always defy the will of the people." The people vote for the president they want then the state counts the votes and picks majority then the Electoral College has the final desicion and picks the presidet, which is unfair to the people because even if they win majority vote it is up to the electoral college to decide. The same article also states "In the same vein, 'faithless' electors have occasionally refused to vote for their party's canidate and cast a deciding vote for however they please-". It is almost ads if the people have no voice in elections.
The Electoral College is also unfair because of what is stated in Source 2. Again, the article says "Consider that state legislatures are technically responsible for picking electors, and that those electors could always defy the will of the people." The people have no opinion in elections it is all up to the Electoral College to decide the president of the United States regardless of what the people want as their leader of the United States of America.
Although the people have no voice in the elections but instead the Electoral College, sometimes it is better to keep the old method. In Source 3, the article states that it is is less likely to have a dispute over the popular vote. "The reason is the winning canidate's share of the Electoral College invariably exceeds his share of the popular vote." Saying that the Electoral College sometimes tries to go along with the popular vote to best fit what the people voted for.
Even though the Electoral College has been around fro a really long time, it is time to change and go with popular vote elections for the president of the United States instead. That way the people actually vote for the president themselves and they get what they want.
Thank you for your time. | 3 |
9216557 | Based on the four sources, car usage should be limited in some way. Smog in Paris and other cities have governments placing restrictions on when and where citizens are allowed to drive their vehicles. A German has a certain city that bans cars and other places, such as Bogota, Columbia, have "car free days". These give citizens of nearly every country a thought of why drive when i can walk. Some expert sociologists even believe we are out of our peak car buying years and into one that is less vehicle extemsive and more stress free and relaxed.
In Paris, smog forced many citizens to stop their driving all together. The pollution was so overwhelming that it rivaled Beijing, one of the most polluted cities on the world (Duffer). Car emissions put Paris' parculate matter scale off of the charts. Pullotion is a serious issue, especially when it affects millions, such as those in Paris. Other places have gone so extreme to ban cars in certain cities. Vauban, Germany have given up their cars to live there. Most citizens agree with Heidrum Walter's words of "being much happier [without a car]" (Rosenthal). Her understanding of a life without a vehicle is a crutial turning point in todays society and even limit air pollutions, not unlike those of Paris or Bejing.
Experts say that the United States "love affair for vehicles seems to be cooling" (Rosenthal). Many Young citizens aged under 25 seem to have no desire for a drivers license. As of April 13, 2013, the number of miles driven per person were down 9 percent from the peak of car buying sales. We are experiencing a long term cultural shift (Rosenthal) and will likely see dramtic changes in the future. Major cities , like New York and San Fransico, have transit and subway systems put into place for this very reason. More car pooling and public transit seems to be the way to go.
Not only does driving less reduce air pollution, but it decreases unwanted stress in many different situations. Many cities and countries around the globe agree with this and are all headed that direction. Vehicles seem do be on the downhill portion pf their lifespan. Take the initiative and protect our world. Less driving and less pollution reduces stress in even the best of us. | 3 |
921d7fe | With the face on mars no one belived that it was actually a face they thought that it was and ancient monument on mars and when NASA first saw the face on mars they thought that it was the landging place of the viking 1's sister ship the viking 2. Then when they put that photo out of the face on mars people were using it in haunted grocery stores checkout lines, radio talk shows, magazines, books, and hollywood films.
Then even some scientists belived that they face was an alien artifact so when people did not belive them they went and took more picture of the face but it was mars cloudy day and people still did not belive them. So NASA went back for another one but to get a better picture they had to get closer to the face and role the ship twenty five degrees to the center they also had to go over the face very often because it was hard to get the picture.
The spaceship would look over mars like a faxing machine but lucky for them going around the face very often it got to a point to were their was no clouds and they were able to get a good shot of the face. So NASA was able to get a better picture of the face so that people would belive them that it was a face in the surface on mars.
The face was not accutally formed from the viking 2 but from a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same hight as the Face on the moon. So the face on mars was alo just a huge rock formation and the eyes nose and mouth was just an illussion formed from a shadow. Also about the alien articact their was not one they thought that their was a hidden alien artifact and hidden alien marking hidden by the haze. | 1 |
921f0da | The Electoral College is a process put into place by the founding fathers for the purpose of electing a president. However, this process was enacted at the very beginning of the United States and the question must be asked, Is it still neccessary? Or even fair? With advancing technology and better processes, the old ways of doing things must be questioned.
Almost all states have a winner-take-all system in place, with the exception of Maine and Nebraska. This system has many faults and in some cases can produce false results. A presidential candidate that wins by a large majority in a state will win the electoral votes of that state, however, if another candidate wins a very close election, he/she will also win a state. For example, in the 2000 presidential election between Al Gore and President Bush, Al Gore won the popular vote of the people but lost the election for president because of the electoral college, the very fact that we know what the popular vote was is proof of neccesity of change. Not only this, but sixty percent of voters want to vote directly. This makes it possible for a candidate to have more individual votes but less electoral votes, making the system somewhat corrupt.
Not only is the process of the Electoral College unfair, it is simply not neccessary, with most voters using digital machines to enter their vote for candidate, votes can be counted digitally and accurately. The electoral college was a great idea before computers were invented and all votes had to be counted by hand. When the process of the Electoral College was put into place, it would have been impossible to count he votes of the entire country with any degree of accuracy, and even if it was possible, the validity of votes would be constantly be questioned. But in this day and age technology makes the very idea of the elctoral college obsolete. I understand the desire for preserving traditional methods but not when it sacrifices a fast, fair, easy system.
Not only should we use a system using computers to count votes, but we already do, news broadcasters show which presidential candidate is winning in real time using modern technology. This allows us to know which candidate has won the election on voting day. Keep in mind that when the electoral college was made, many citizens had no idea who had won often until the next year. The fact that we know immediatly is proof that the meeting of the Electoral college in December is completely unnessessary. And what if there is a tie in the elctoral vote, although we know what the popular vote is, we would still have to send the vote to congress.
Times have changed. Technology has improved. With this the very building blocks of our government must be improved and updated. The Electoral College is a perfect example of a system that worked well in the early days of the country but has since been made obsolete, this system must be fixed | 5 |
9223aaa | This might be a good way to help stop school shootings. You can identify which studnet needs help and can go and talk to that student . Being able to read emotions can be helpful but it may also be distracting. For example" the student appering unintrested and or bored and it automanically changes to a video game" ? Some student are special needs or may be thinking about something happing at home or maybe what's for lunch ? , and the next thing they see is their work has been erased and or changed and they can do nothing about it and send them into a panick attack and can not focus on anything except trying to calm down. Im both with and against this .
We have a right to privacy unless there is a reason for worry. This could possibly assist students who have a undetected disorder or possibly prevent school shootings . We should have a personal right not to reveal are emotions if we do not want to , but i think if there is a cause for worry on certain students than maybe we could try it. | 2 |
92249e6 | Dear State Senator ,
The idea of a Electoral College sounds great at first. In all reality you have to look at the facts. People of the United States should choose who they want to for president. Only having a few hundered out of the billions of people doesnt really seem fair to everyone's opinion, I agree that not everyone's opinion is satisfactory to others.
Each candidate running for President in a certain state has their own group of electors. These electors are chosen by the political party of those candidates running. The state laws get involved by only selecting electors by their responsiblilities. So this means not every elector is involved with the process.
We voters help choose our state's electors when we vote for President. When we vote for the person of our choice we are really choosing the electors in that candidate's political party. The "winner-take-all" system used in most states, gives the electors to the winning presidential candidate. this system is used in all states except Nebraska and Maine which have the variation of "proportional repesentation." The number of electors chosen for your vote will representing your chosen candidate.
Again with the fact of having a Electoral College, the people are not really voting for the President, they are voting for a slate of electors. Then they in turn elect president.
If you lived in Texas, for instance, and wanted to vote for John Kerry, you'd vote for 34 Democratic electors for Kerry. Off chance that those 34 electors won statewide, they would go to Congress and Kerry would in return get 34 electoral votes. These electors can be anyone not holding publice office. Electors have their own opinion rights as well.
Our votes dont always control who the elctors vote for. This causes confusion and arguements that it is unfair in the Electoral College's ways that the people are not always voting for their president because they are giving a slight chance for electors to change that vote.
Popular vote allows the people of the United States to choose what out of the majority is best for the United State's Presidential candidate. Unlike the rules and rights of the Electoral College, the popular vote allows the voters a absolute vote. Everyone's thoughts are put in concideration instead only 270 people out of like I said billions(and growing) population.
The facts show that popular vote in the long-run will be better for the United State's state of government than Electoral College. Electoral College is unfair, outdated, and irrational. We should abolish the electoral college.
With Concideration,
A United State's citizen | 3 |
9224bf3 | The people, the people, the people that's all you ever hear presidents talk about. "I care what's best for the people" or "It's the people's vote", if that's true though then why do we still have the electoral college. The electoral college is a creation of our founding fathers and yes it might have worked then, but times have changed. The electoral college is now just taking away the people's votes, has the 'disaster factor', and because of the electoral college many canditdates only focus on swing states.
To start, if it's all about the people then how come our votes don't count. Instead of voting for the president we are voting for who the electors vote for, if they even follow what we say. Although the exerpt from "In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President" disagrees with me, in paragraph 18 they give the perfect example to prove my point. In the 2000 election of Gore and Bush, Gore had more popular votes than Bush, but still had fewer electoral votes. In other words the people voted for Gore, but instead we got Bush! So if it's all about the people of this great country then why did we not get our choice of president.
Next, the 'disaster facter' is described in source 2 otherwise known as the excerpt from " The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses are wrong". In paragraph 11 it talks about how in 1960 the segregationists in the Louisiana Legislature tried, and nearly succeeded, in hand picking electors who they believed would be opposed to Kennedy. So what if next time do they succeed and the vote doesn't go the way the people want. As if that isn't enough reason, also in 1960, Hawaii sent two slates of electors to Congress! Luckily, President Nixon saved the day or that could have been yet enough fiasco the electoral college created.
Lastly, when canidates know for sure they don't have a states vote or even that they do have a states vote they tend to not visit those states. In source 3 it says that it makes them a more successful president because they don't only have regional appeal. However, it also makes it so they aren't connecting with every regional only the swing states so what about the states that are for sure to one canidate do they just not get to hear from their future president? The idea of an electoral college is making it so only certain states get to talk to the canidates and that's not fair.
In sumamary, why do we need the electoral college if all it does is cause problems. You could say that there's less of a chance of the larger states over powering the ones with less population, but at least then it's in the peoples hand what happen. The electoral college takes away the peoples power, has the disaster factor, and the canidates ignore certain states. All in all the electoral college is causing more problems then we need, let's finally make the election the people's vote. | 4 |
922f29a | Normally in everyone's mind when they are a teenager they want to have a car to go to places such as the mall, beach, etc. There are advantages though to limiting car usage. The whole planet should really hear or read about it, it's amazing to what these advantages can do for you, others, and our ecosystem.
The first of many reasons why we should limit car usage is because of greenhouse gas emissions. "Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of gas emissions in Europe. . . and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States(Source 1)." This just shows the evidence by the future if this keeps going like this the Whole entire planet would be all polluted which would make living conditions harder than they have to be. Heidrun Walter, a media trainer and mother of two states "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way(Source 1)." Looking at this quote tells me that she must have been stressed with the car, maybe it was because of the traffic or the gas bill who knows, but she does feel happier without it so she must feel more at ease that her area is not cramped up with cars. In Vauban, Germany if you own a car where the tram to downtown Freiburg runs, there are only two places to park-large garages at the edge of the development, where a car owner must buy a space, for $40,00, along with a home. Well sign me up with a bike or running shoes because I don't have that kind of money to spend just to live in a area with no cars.
Furthermore I would like to go to Paris, but sources state that "Paris typically has more smog than other European capitals(Source 2)." Reuters had found 147 micrograms of particulate matter or PM per cubic meter compared with 114 in Brussels and 79.7 in London. That is pretty bad and knowing that people say that you must go to Paris, yeah sure for I can get polluted air into my system got it. "Diesel fuel was blamed, since Frtance has . . . [a] tax policy that favors diesel over gasoline." According to Reuters "Diesels make up 67 percent of vehicles in France, compared to a 53.3 percent average of diesel engines in the rest of Western Europe(Source 2)." Even Bogata, Columbia has a "Car-free day" and if you don't follow the rules of car-free day you will be fined $25. Carlos Arturo Plaza stated "It's a good oppurtunity to take away stress and lower air pollution," as he and his wife rode a two-seat bicycle with his wife(Source 3).
It is just clear that most areas in the world are trying to change the way we live our lives for the sake of all human life. It is a good oppurtunity to relieve stress and lower air pollution as the source stated before. So the next time you want a car think to yourself "Which one is much more helpful to the planet's ecosystem?" | 4 |
9231594 | The Battle for Control
In the near future, driveless cars will become an inevitable reality. Their a supposed solution for most traffic problems the world posseses today. No need to worry about drunk and reckless drivers anymore, the answer is finally here! Well, dive a little deeper and you'll figure out that driveless cars will create just as many problems as they would, in theory, fix. The idea of a world with driveless cars as the main priority just runs shivers down my spine...
The main problem with driveless cars is a very nightmarish one. What if the car malfunctions, and goes completely berzerk on the road? Also, who would take the blame for the accident? The manufacturers or the driver would be a re-occuring question, and as stated in the article, this would cause thousands of legal battles every week. It would be truly heartbreaking to go to someone's funeral that you were very close with, and to always know that their death wasn't even their fault.
Another issue driveless cars would create is immense laziness and health problems. Although driving cars isn't an amazing workout by any means, it keeps the brain alert and stimulated. Also, if there is no work needed then many passengers would just fall asleep. Who is there to wake them up when they have reached their destination? A siren or alarm would be a good idea, but many people including myself are very heavy sleepers.
My biggest gripe with driveless cars would be the easy accessibilty. Literally anyone could just hop in and take control of it. Kids who have an argument with their parents and are currently angry at them can just get in one, and drive off. This completely kills the purpose of drivers licences, and in my opinion just isn't right. Another HUGE problem is this, how in the world would police do their job? Would their cars be driveless also, and how would they pull anyone over? They wouldn't be able to, the driveless cars would just continue cruising down the street.
In my honest opinion, a world with driveless cars would just be the beginning of a world ruled by computer A.I. Humans need to keep control of certain things in order for our species to thrive and survive. Not everything needs to be taken over by computers, and I truly wish that we as a species can realize this. We are becoming too dependent on technology, and I fear that soon our own knowledge will eventually cause the end of the human race as we know it. | 3 |
9232640 | The author supports the study of Venus ia a worthy pursuit despite the dangers. One detail from the artical is that the atmosphere has a 97 perecnt carbon dioxide on Venus. A second detail from the passage is the planet surfaces, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmosperic perssure is 90 greater than earths.
A third detail from the passage is striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value. A fourth detail from the passage is a the insight is to be gained on the planet itself but also human curiosity.
A fith detail from the passage is that expanding to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation.
A sixth detail passage is researchers cannot take samples of rock, gas, or anything else, from a distance. A seventh detail from the passage is At thirty-plus miles above the surface temperatures would be hot at 170 gegrees Fahrenheit. Another detail from the passage is Earth, such an environment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our ocean and would liquefy many metals.
A nineth detail from the passage is solar power would be plentiful, and radiation would not exceed Earth levels; Not easy conditions! but survivable for humans.
A tenth detail from the passage is a ship orbiting or hovering safely above the planet can be safer. A elventh detail from the passage is Many researchers are working on innovations that allow machines to last longer. A tewelth detail from the passage is old computers will help researchers last machines longer. A thirdteenth detail from th passage is systems can use mechanical parts be more resistant to heat pressure, heat, and other forces. A fourthteenth detail from this passage is NASA is working on approaches to beat the harmful condition of Venus.
A fithtenth deatil from this passage is previous mission was unmanned, and for good reason, since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours. A sixthtenth detail from this passage is issue explain why not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus in more than three decades. A seventhtenth detail from this passage is numerous factors contribute to Venus’s reputation as a challenging planet for humans to study.
Last detail from this passage is erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and lightning strikes.
All these details show what the author supports the study of Venus ia a worthy pursuit despite the danger. | 3 |
9235e6e | The driverless cars are a bad idea. In theroy, they sound wonderful. But in reality they are a safty hazard. To start with the driver needs to stay aware of the car and traffic, they cant go through construction, and are still are not legal in some states around the U.S.
The driver has to stay aware of the other things around them. Even thought you still have to keep your hands on the wheel because of the touch sensors. The article states, "In fact, none of the cars developed so far are completely driverless." This statment shows there is still room for human error in these driverless cars.
Even though human error is still involved, these cars still can't go through construction areas or around wrecks but they still alert you when you come across it.
the prompt states, "But all are designed when the road requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around acciedents. this means the human driver must remain alert and be ready to take over when the situation requires." People are still needed to drive these cars, but we still have to do the hard part the old fashion way.
Even with accident warning, these cars are still not legal in some states like California and Nevada. For example, "As a result it is illegal even to test computer- driven cars. California, Nevada, Florida, and the District of Columbia have led the country in allowing limited use of semi-autonomous cars." They don't Think it's safe enough to be driven in highly populated areas.
These driverless cars are a hazard. even though they could be helpful in the future. In some way they seem to undertested amd people don't want to trust them. Manly because you would still have to pay attention to the road, still have to drive through construction and wrecks, and are technically still not fully legalised in some states like California, Nevada and Florida. With a bit more field testing these driverless cars could be one of our greatest achivements. But they won't be totally ready until 2020. | 3 |
92388d3 | Planets can be twins? Venus is known as Eath's twin. At one time Venus was the closest to Earth, but has grown to become less and less like Earth over the years. Therefore Venus is getting more and more dangest to study as the years go on.
Venus is very important to study. Venus is the closest planet to Earth in density and in size. Sometimes in distance too. Depending on what time of the year it is, due to plantet orbiting around the Sun, will depend on if Venus or Mars is closer to Earth.
Venus is difficult to study because of how dangest it is. Almost 97 percent of Venus is carbon dioxide. Clouds of highly corresive sulfuric acid are in Venus' atmosphere. The pressure on Venus is 90 times the pressure on Earth. Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system, even though Mercury is closer than Venus to the Sun. Venus has an average of 800 degrees Fahrenheit. The conditons on Venus are far more extreme than conditions on Earth.
Due to all the changing features Venus has had over the years. Venus still has some things like Earth. Some familiar features are valleys, mountains, and craters. The changing has caused no spaceship to touch down on Venus in more than three decades. No spacecraft has ever survived the landing more than a few hours.
This proves how the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit, but is very dangest. Venus is important to study because it is Earth's "twin." This shows how Venus is dangest. Venus is challenging to study, but is worth the danger. | 2 |
9239800 | Are you for or against the value of using this technology to read students emotional expression? No, I do not believe we as a whole should be able to use this. The reason why I believe this should not happen is because everyone is intitled to their own opinion. The fact that a computer is able to distinguish this type of information is very scary.
In the article the author Nick D' Alto talks about Mona Lisa he says "She's 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry" (Alto 1). This quote itslef is nerve racking due to the fact that a computer is able to find this information out. Using this type of technology to read students emotional expressions would be helpful but it would not be professional. Honestly who would want to see what a teenager feeling?
There are many other ways this technology can be used such as prison. so we are able to track prisoners feelings. Overall using this type of technology on a group of inncocent people is unprofessional. This type of technology should be controlled in a proper manner. | 2 |
9241144 | Have you ever been to a dense city, where you can barley drive becuase there are to many car? Well small suburban cities are finding new solutions. These suburban parts of towns have made it so that most people walk and dont drive some nopt even having parking space. This is a great solution, they've made it so that most stores are within walking distance of the main street. The no car towns will be healthier with the walking and exhaust fuems and might save everyone some cash will less insurance, accidents, and gas prices.
These small towns have made sure that the no car rule will provent you from getting to where you need to go. According to "
In German Suburb, Life Goes on Without Cars", streets have no cars. It also reads that most stores are
"a walk away on a main street"
, making it unneccassary to have a car. It,s expected public transportation will be larger in next six years.
In Paris, France, they have banned driving due to the unpleasing amount of smog they had. The smog is caused from the exhaust of the car and released into the air forming thick air and this almost toxic fuem. By elminating cars there will be less smog to allow easier breathing and better lungs. Also, Since there are no cars citizens will walk more making it healthier to get more excersise walking around the large city.
The no cars plan will save everyone loads of money. With public transportation or smart city planing and placement, you dont need to buy a car and save you those thousands of dollars. With no car, you wont need any autoinsurance on the car. Not to mention with out a car you won't need to refeul it with gas prices getting higher everyday.
These cities are saving money, making their citizens healthier to live longer, and just making the town a allround better place. | 3 |
92436c5 | Based on the articles for " Car-Free Cities", not having or limiting car usage will not only change our lives, but it could also make our cities a better place to live. As Heidrum Walter says
"when i had a car i was always tense. I'm much happier this way"
source 1. We could all agree that when we are driving we are mostly worried about if we could crash or no, if we might get a ticket, this causes us to be tense and might affect our health. So why not just leave the car for a minute and walk or use a bycicle?
limiting car usage will also improve the conditions of our environment, by not using cars as much as we do we can reduce greenhouse gases, which could help preserve the ozone layer. According to source 2 ''
After days of near-record pollution, paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of globla city''
. If in some days a big city could reduce the amount of air pullution by a partial driving ban, imagine what will happened if the amount of driving cars is reduce for years. Reducing car usage could also help our health, studies show that the people that are sitting most of the day are most likely to get cancer, most of the people out there are driving all day and they dont do any type of exercise.
In conclusion, let me just emphesize that reducing car usage will bring positive changes not only to our lives but to our environment. As a business man from colombia name Carlos says'
'It's a good opportunity to take away streess an lower air pollution"
(source 3). All around the world people are leaving and selling their cars, according from the sources. In germany, paris,and colombia they all have or had car-free cities for a day. As we can see all of those people had positive changes in their lives the minute they left the car. Why dont we just try to be car-free for a day and see how better you will feel. By going one day without cars we could also support president Obama's amitious goals to curb the United States greenhouse gas emmisions
(source 4) and we could also reduce the amount of people getting sick. | 3 |
9245d63 | I say we keep the Electoral College. For one we are not put with that pressure of a single vote from us, the people instead its like a claim to the candidate. Though some candidates in some states may seem hopeless to the people of the states though that barley happens due having a trans-regional appeal. Even if it is a bit "outdated" we have been using it for years and it hasn't had much flaws. The close vote in 2012 was won because of the votes in Florida due to its population thanks to the Electoral College. Also some people may not understand the real intents of a president, example if a potental candadate, if in their campaign the went to sent troops to war but try to cover it up by saying the area they are sending the troops in caused something or threatened the country the then the people would side with the candidate.
It balances out large states from small states not causing much of a arguement so you have equality. Also it depends on the state candidate who should be listen to the people of the state to help their vote. Also some people can be bias to a potental candidate and vote for him instead but with the state candidate that can't really happen. Even if the state candidate is hopeless they can still try to the the popular vote for that candidate their voting for. With those small votes they could make that candidate win. If states pay attention to candidate ads they could vote for the candidate they actually think should win for political reasons. For area the candidate know he will win he has focus on just those states so he points them out making the other states feel like that candidate doesn't care for them. Say we remove the Electoral College then people in more populated area can vote for the candidate the wish to win and they can outnumber the candidate by a whole lot.
Bottom line we need to keep the electral college. | 2 |
9251b3f | The use of a facial reading computer in a class seems a bit useless. Why use a computer to think about lessons if the student is purely bored or sad when school isn't ment to be fun. Yes, being happy is the greatest feeling in the world, but in a classroom, students shouldn't always get what they want but what they need for the near future.
Technology shouldn't always be used for lessons or homework most of the time, but it is sometimes neccsscary to create online lessons for either snowdays or 2 hour delays. In a quote; "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored," Dr.Huang predicts. "then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." In that quote, it states that a facial reading computer could change lessons like a effective human instuctior. How is the student learning? Yes, the lesson could be changed into something more easier, but why give the student something hard at first then explain it? That's a waste of valuable time for any type of lessons. If the student is bored, he or she is not taking school seriously. School isn't a playground where students have fun. They could have fun in their specials like art or gym etc. But in a classroom, students should take their time with their work like their life depends on it.
In the same paragraph it states; "Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communications," nostes Dr.Huang, "so computers need to understand that too." So if they bring a face reading computer into a classroom, is the teacher gonna be fired? The use of a face reading computer inside a classroom is still useless. Why bring a 10 thousand dollar computer into a classroom that is used to read faces and change lessons when a student is bored? Thats why schools have actually teachers, cause they're already there.
At the end of this, expensive face reading computer are still useless and less valuable when there is already an actual human that could do that for less.Yes, being happy is the greatest feeling in the world, but in a classroom, students shouldn' always get what they want but what they need for the near future. | 5 |
92543c9 | Venus's reputation is challenging for humans to study. It's a thick atmospere of close to about 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets. Venus is even more challenging because ther're clouds are highly corrosive sulfuric acid in there atomospere,on their surface ther're tempature averages at about 800 degrees farenheit. And the atmospheric pressure is about 90 times greater than what our scientist are experincing on our own planet. Venus's conditions are far more extreme than anything we humans encounter on earth.
Venus's weather has additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface. An paragraph 6 sentence 1 it says that venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risk. Also an paragraph 7 sentence 2 its says Venus surface have lasted for three weeks in such condition that another project is looking back an to the old technology.
However, peering at Venus on a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can provide only limited insight on ground conditions because most forms of light cannot penetrate the dense atmosphere, rendering standard forms of photography and videography ineffective. More importantly, researchers cannot ttake samples of rock, gas, or anything else froma a distance. | 1 |
925a4ca | 1/26/15
Dear state senator,
I want to take the time to speak my mind and said whats wrong with the clectoral college. The electoral college is a process, not a place that what i've read. The founding fathers established it in the constitution between election of the president by a vote in congress and election of the president by a popular vote of qualified citizen. The electoral college consists of 538 elctors. a majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the president. each candidate running for president in your state has his or her own group of electors.
Under the electoral collage system, votets vote not for the prisident, but for slate of elector who there elect the presient. the single best argument against the electoral college is what we might call the disaster factor. the amercan people should consider themselves lucky that the 2000 fiasco was the biggest electoin crisis in a century. consider that state legislatures are technically resonsible for picking electors and those electors could always defy the will of the people. each state casts only one vote, the single representative from wyoming, representing 500,000 voters,would have as much say 55 representatives from california, who represent 35 millon votes. that many voters vote one party for president and another for congress.
the electoral college is widely regarded as an anachronism, a non-democratic method of selecting a president taht ought to be overruled by declaring the candidate who receives the most popular votes the winner. | 1 |
925db3c | The face of the natural landform is that when mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time, Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Cemera team snapped ten time sharper than the original viViking photo.
Introduction: First thing happened is the scientists beliebed that the Face was an alien artifact, photographing Cydonia became a priority for NASA when Mars Gobal Surveyor arrived at the Red Plannet in September in 1997.
Body: Then in April 5,1998, when
Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydinia for the first time, when Michael Malin and his friend Mars Orbiter Camera team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos. When the Face on Mars is located at 41 degrees north martian latitude where it was winter in April 1998, the cloudy time of your on the Red Plannet.
Conclution: The controller prepared to look is again, but its not easy to target Cydonia'' Said Garvin ''that's hard working'' And the clooudless summer day in Cydonia Mars Global survejor drew close enough for a second look. but it's 25 degress to center the Face in the field.
In 2001 the span was like 1.56 meters, compared to 43 meters per fixel in the best in 1976 Viking Photo.
In there Thousands of anxious web surfer were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing....... The natural landfor. There was also no alien monument after all. finally they know where is the landform common around the American West. | 2 |
9265080 | This new technology to allow us to read students emotional expressions is brilliant. Reasons being is it allows students to show their true emotion regardless if they act happy, or sad. This will more likely have less kids hide their emotion and can truly be worked on. It can be the difference between life or death. To prove that this technology can be used in advance, most of us know the famous picture of the Mona Lisa. Using this advance system most people will say she is just happy and smiling, 'but she's actually 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted,6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry'. Obviously we have more then one feeling but this is an prime example of showing this can work on other people and pictures from years ago and still show their full emotions, most people can claim to be happy a lot and be completley devasted. This will be the future to help towards others and will soon help for the greater good. | 2 |
926786c | ~The author support the idea really good because he has evidence and he is explaining everything, in my apinion i support the author because Venus is the second planet from our sun ans it has proved very challenging place to examine more closely.
~Explanation of the evidence: Venus is closesst planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and the olosest in distance too, but the different in speed mean that sometimes we are close to Mars and other times to Venus because benus is sometimes right around the corner in space terms. Every previous mission
was unmaded for good reason because
since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours maybe that explain whynot a single spaceship has touched down on Venus on more than three decades, but some fact is that Venu's reputattion as a challenging planet for human study. Venus atmosphere is almost 97% of carbon dioxide blankets and it is more challenging the
cloulds of highly corrosive sulfruric acid in Venu's atmosphere,
Venus has the hottest surface temperture of any planet in our solar system even Mercury is closer to our sun. Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well one have been the most Earth-like planet in our system, A long time ago Venuz was propbaly covery largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life.
The opcions for making such a mission both safe and scientifically productive is that NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venuz would allow scientists to float above the fray, a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape like just as our jet airplanes travel at a higher altitude to fly over many storms a vehicle hovering over Venus it would be avoid the unfriendly ground conditions by ataying up and out of their way in conclusion NASA is working on other approaches to studying Venus for example electronics, 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 intimidating endeavors. | 3 |
926c21a | I belive that others should join the Seagoing Cowboys program. For a reason we all know to help other countries.
One reason that I belive that others should join the Seagoing Cowboys program is because while your helping our country you can be enjoying sight seeing at the same time. You can see Panama Canal, Acropolis in Greece, Venice, Italy a city with streets of water, a excavated castle in Crete, and so much more. You can still have fun after the animals have been unloaded. You and your crew can play baseball and volleyballl games in empty holds where animals have been housed. Table-tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, whittiling, games, and even reading can help pass time on your way back.
People might say that if you slip you can fall out if doing midnight rounds. Well, with the technologhy we have today you won't be as likely to slip and fall out of the boat. People might aslo say the that what if people attack you on the boat while sailing. You would be able to protect the animals and you because the U.S. wouldn't send you without any protection. You would most likely have guns or othe ships following you. Also, most likely no one will attack you while you are trying to get animals or help a country.
I belive that other people should join the Seagoing Cowboy programs because you can see historical sights, you can have fun after the animals get off, and a huge thing is that you are helping other countries. | 3 |
