7fc6b23 | Dear State Senator,
Elections are up coming soon and before we all even know it, it's going to be election day. As we all know, there is this process called The Electoral College that was established in the Constitution by our founding fathers. To be honest, I think it is time for a change. If you really think about it, The Electoral College isn't really in favor of the people anymore. Here's what i think should happen, instead of on election day when we vote for just the President and just getting the senates that ran for the Presidental candidate, I think we should have two different votings: one for the President and one for the senates, here's why:
First, when election day comes around and we think we are voting for the president, we aren't, but instead voting for a big group of slate electors where they vote for the president. For example, if you lived in Washington and you wanted to vote for [John] Doe, for instance, you would be voting for a slate of about 35 electors pledged to that President. Then the slate of electors vote for the presdient, not the people, and I dont think everyone knows that. Most of the people that know about have said that The Electoral College is a "diaster factor" while the government says that "the American people should consider themselves lucky" WRONG!!!!!! The American people technically can't even vote for their own president becuase "it's against the Constitution" there needs to be a change. Like allowing some people who go in to vote to either: vote for a slate of electors who elect the President or just vote for the president themselves. That way the people feel like their vote actually does count.
Thank you State Senator for giving me some of your time so you can read my letter to you about The Electoral College. I hope you take my idea under consideration.
Thanks again,
Sincerely,

7fc7f0a | Mona Lisa had paining by Leonardo da Vinci ,who became one of the best art in the world. Mona Lisa have 3 copy on the world, all by Leonardo da Vinci. Mona Lisa had been many people see is but juat all can't tell emotions of her.
At University of Lllinois in America Dr. Huang try to fin d out emotions of her. Dr. Hhuang trmany thing to find out what Mona Lisa emotions, he try to repainted is but but is not really workinng out .Dr. Huang say" like she not smiling as broadly, is just can't showing no emotion."
Mona Lisa smile is too hard to tell she happy or sad, Dr. Huang say" a classroom camputer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored" is just can't tell. and he say "So computers need to understand that too." Painting a human you need to know what you doing and what you need t do. Many artst try to repainted Mona Lisa by just can't do it right when they painting her lips and eyes is not show anything.
That is all everything you need to know about Mona Lisa and her smile. Dr Huang say" whoever thought that making face could reveal somuch about the scince og emotions." And is one of the painting everybody love to see. | 1 |
7fcc28f | I think we should keep the electoral college be cause people can vote on electors and not the actual presedent they want to win for the vote because people think he or she may or may not be the best person to be for that job we should keep the electoral college for reasons like not haveing to pick or choose for the better person. To be if the both want kinda the same thing,it would help the people not the presedent it only gets them votes and votes are nouthing to me or others.
2. second i think we should keep it beacuse you can tell who voted and not the people that voted because you get a sticker that said i voted so that puts an place that you have voted or not and if u dont u have some time to do it or there will be anourther person who takes and votes in ur place and u wont be able to vote .3. because the ballet things are full and the time is up for them to vote ,so they have to wait till the next time to vote is ansd that will be the next year so useing the electoral collage will allow u to be able to vote on time and mnot miss be ing able to vote becaus evoting is im portant to the county or the contonet to be counted on not only you but others around so u can have a choice of what you want to have as a presedent of the united states 4. third haveingf the electoral college will help tho ones who cant get out to vote and be able to do it just about any wear your at and that will be help full to me and othere because im nort allowed to vote yet so it comes in handy in many ways to us and other people to ther united states . | 1 |
7fd1119 | Over the past years technology has had many different purposes in the world, and now with the help of the softtware "Facial Action Coding System" teachers in classrooms will now be able to adress their student's emotions when they act out of the normal. In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" by Nick D'Alto it shows many examples regarding this topic. Because of the student's lack of expressing their emotions verbally, this computer software must be used to reveal what is happening within their heads.
In order to know what a student's mind wants to be happy and not bored, the teachers must use this software because a person cannot always comprehend facial features. In the aricle it talks about how many emotions showed by making facial expressions are not always comprehendable. According to the author, in paragraph 4 it states "'The facial expressions for each emotion are universal'" (D'Alto 4). The term "universal" as it is being used in the sentence shows just the magnitude of how much a face can express. If teachers don't use this software, school might just remain boring to students without the teachers knowing.
Even though some people would agree that it is an invasion to privacy to use this in classrooms, the software would be for the good of the lack of communication between the teacher and students. The software would also improve the overall performance of the students during class, since now the teacher would know what to do when the class is bored or happy. In the article it also enhances the facts of nonverbal communication by stating "'Most human communiction is nonverbal, including emotional communication,' notes Dr. Huang" (D'Alto 6). If emotions and communications are nonverbal, why not use technology to unravel the thoughts of a student. No teacher would want their students to feel negative feelings towards their classes, so here is an opportunity to make school better for both students and teachers.
Students may have to be provoked so they can show what they are feeling, however; the teachers making their students show emotion will help them be happier while being in the classroom. Students who do not want to be in school must be adressed first so they are better of in the future. This statement is supported by looking in the article where the author states "According to the Facial Feedback Theory of Emotion, moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions, butr also may even help produce them" (D'Alto 9). Teacher making their students "break a smile" would aid their bordem into becoming a happier and more positive emotion.
Thus, the use of technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is positive, because of the help it would provide on the student's perspective of school. Less students would drop out and more students would go to school and learn just because of the enviroment that the computer software helps evoke. This valuable software must not be ignored! | 5 |
7fd135f | Acording to the artical an advantage of limiting car usage is less usage of diesel gasoline, Because Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city. Diesel fuel was blamed for the reasoning of the ban to clear air since france tax policy that favors diesel over gasoline. 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, according to Reuters.
Also another advantage of limiting car usage that the article talked about was that there has been a large drop in the percentage of 16 - 39 years olds getting there license. We dont want anyone on the road that has not been approved to be a safe driver or even approved to be able to drive. Also just think about how the precentage is just going to keep dropping over the years.
The artical also stated other advantages like, that being telecommuted allows people to feel more connected without driving, And included a citizin of BOGOTA, Colombia oppinion who stated "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution". | 2 |
7fd2d14 | Venus id the closes planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distamce too. Earth, Venus, and Mars, our other times to Venis. Bacause Venus is somentimes right atound the corner- in space terms-humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on this cloud-draped world.
A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's armosphere. On the planet's surface, temperatures averga over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times grater than what we experience on our own planet.
The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters. Furhermore, recall that Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit, a crucial consideration given the long time frames os space travel.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has one particularle compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus.
More impotantntly, researchers cannot take samples of rock,gas, or anyrhing else, from a distance. Therefore, scientists seeking to conduct a thorough mission to understand Venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risk. Or maybe we should think of them as challenges.
NASA is working on other aproaches to studying Venus, For example, some simplified electronics the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions. These devices were first envisioned in the 1800s and played an important role in the 1940s during world war ll. Modern computers are enormouslt powerful, flexible, and quick, but tend to be more delicated when it phone or tablet to acid or heat capable of melting tin.
Strivind to meet the callenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself. Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation. | 1 |
7fd4f07 | The outhor
support the idea
that studyiong Venus is a worthy persuit despite the danger by saying that Venus is the Earth's twin and that Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too. He also says that Earth, Venus, and Mars are our planetary neighbors and they orbit the Sun at different speeds. The author describes the differences
between them and the number of spacecrafts that the humans have sent and why none of them havent touched the planet, Venus.
Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with Oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth. 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 valleys, mountains, and craters. Furthermore, recall that a crucial consideration given the long time frames of space travel.
More importanttly, researchers cannot take sample of rock, gas, or anything else, from a distance. Therefore, scientists seekink to conduct a throrough mission to understand Venus would need to get up close and persolan despite the risks. Or maybe we should think of them as challenge.
Many researchers are working on inovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowledge of Venus. Both planets, Earth and Venus had good similarities like the Oceans and the valleys. I think thats why the researchers want to keep studying and make new machines that can support Venus conditons. That would be good in case that a desaster or something really bad happens on Earth, we would have somewhere to go and we will be ready for it. | 3 |
7fd68b2 | I think that having "Driverless Cars" would be a cool and positve thing in the world. It would be a posititve thing because, one its more economical, and two it ads more fun to driving. Having driverless cars I would think would make the streets alot safer, especially with how many computers and sensors are in the vehical. To say that having these cars is dangerous is rediculous, because google already had one of these vehicals for more than 5 years, it has "Driven more than half a million miles without a crash" (paragraph 2 line 4). This in itself is remarkable due to the fact that cars with drivers crash and kill people everyday, to have a car that for five years has done what we couldnt do in 50 is crazy.
The article says that the car "uses half the fuel of today's taxis and ofer far more flexibility than a bus."(paragraph 1, line 5-6) This makes it safer for the not only cooler, but safer than the environment. This concept of "self driving cars" has always been a fantasy in movies and tv shows, if this "fantasy" were to become avalible to the people in communities around the world it would truly feel like the "future" that we have always dreamed of.
all in all, I feel like having these cars would not only make driving cooler, it would save lives everyday. | 3 |
7fdbd44 | "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," is an article written to try and pursuade people on why Earth needs to visit Venus. The author talks about how studying Venus is a worthy pursuit even though it presents many dangers to human life and machines. The author supports their idea of pursuing Venus despite the dange very well because he talks about human curiosity, the machines that have been and could be used to get to Venus, and why Venus has been considered to be explored.
First, the author talks about human curiosity about the planet Venus. The author finishes the article off by talking about human curiosity and how this helps shape the world today (paragraph 8). This shows that human curiosity is important in peoples lives because it has allowed mankind to create many different things to help people explore the unknown, like the moon, and can be used to explore many different planets humans have looked at for centuries. The article also talks about how researches want to talk "samples of rock, gas, or anything else..."(paragraph 6). This demonstrates human curiosity because mankind wants to discover unknown secretes about plantets and wants to enrich our knowledge on the known universe and taking samples will help unlock these secretes.
Secondly, the article talks about what machine have been used and what machines could be used to help explore Venus. The article starts off by saying "No space craft survived the landing for more than a few hours...[because] the plantets surface is 800 degrees Fahrenheit" (paragraph 2-3). This gives an insite on how the planets surface is because it is so hot that all the space craft humans have sent to Venus have been destroyed because of the extreamly hot temperatures. However, later in the article the author talks about how NASA has thought about creating a blimp that could float over storms and ground of Venus (paragraph 5). This shows that a blimp could be used to find secretes and help humans discover the planet that people have been gazing up to for centuries.
Finally, the author discusses why Venus want to be explored. The author talks about how Venus resembles Earth very closely and refers to it as "Earth's Twin"(paragraph 2). Venus has been called "Earth's Twin" which means it has some qualities similar to Earth. People now want to discover if other planets were ever like earth or if they could sustain human life. People want to explore Venus because they want to see if it could sustain life like Earth. Also the article talks about how Venus has "familiar features such as valleys, moutains, and craters" (paragraph 4). Since Venus has familiar features it is a prime area to explore because human's maybe able to find a new planet that is habitial and create colonies.
In conclusion the author of "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," supports the idea that Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers because he talks about human curiosity, the machines that could be used, and why people want to explore Venus. Human curiosity supports this because humans have wanted to unlock the secretes of the universe for generations and exploring Venus may help in this quest. The machines that could and have been used is a way human's could find these secretes. Why people want to explore Venus is not just for the secretes it could possess but also because it is similar to Earth in many ways and is even called its twin. Venus could help mankind find out what they have wanted to know since the beginnig of time and Venus should be explored despite the dangers to help solve these secretes. | 5 |
7fe2d12 | To the state and the state's country, the election of our president must be seen carefully and wisely. As the citizens of the state, people must realize that choosing someone to take control of orders and regulations and the way the country evolves, is a process that needs to be thought of and taken fairly. The president is to serve the people of his country well with responisbilities that can vary to meet the needs of the country,but the electoral college seems to become more and more unfair to those who vote. It must be changed to meet the needs of giving a responisble president, a more trustworthy election and the votes cast must be directly towards him rather than the electors. In other words, the Electoral College must be changed to become more fair towards the citizens.
The United States Of America, is of course a massive country with large variations of different needs. All over, there are people who vary in opinions, beliefs and lifestyle which can cause the Election of the president to become an important subject matter. To meet the needs of so many people, instead the Electoral college must not choose a president that takes up space, but instead have a right mind to be responisble in taking charge of the country and the people.
There are many reasons why a responsible president must be choose. Things like creating rules to attend the needs of all citizens and create equality amongst them, to keeping harm from out of reach, the Electoral College should become much more wiser in choosing the right ruler to take control. In the article
What Is The Electoral College by the office of the Federal Register, it states that the election process is held every four years along with the after election prepared by the govenor titled "Certificate Of Ascertainment" which sums the canadidates and electors as well as the winning canadidate. It is obvious that the voters only know so much of what they vote for and do not really get a good taste of how the presidential canadidate is like. It can be clear that as a blind election, the voters have no hints of who they might be voting towards and in the end can cause a major catasrophe if a canadidate has very little intentions for the states. In agreement to the article the text
In the defense of the electoral college by Richard A. Posner it begins to sate the election of Romney who, by increasing his plurality and possesing only regional appeal, lost the peoples desire to vote for him thinking that the man has no regards for their interest and does not have any intentions of improving their needs or helping with creating a community where the people can rely on Romney. The actions taken began to change the thoughts of the citizens and create a petrifying conclusion that the man was not on the run to be everyone's president. This dilema could have been changed around if Romney had shown that he had cared more for his state and his country and thought more about the needs he could fill and the actions he could improve, then many of the voters would have most likely shown repsect and a desire for the man to be choosen as their new president. On the opposing hand Romney had not shown any of those qualities or passion which had caused for him to be thought of as unresponisble and selfish.
The country has more than thousands and thousands of people to serve and direct. It can be understood that having a large amount of citizens can result in uncertainty towards the election and the votes cast, yet it is yet to be changed to a more reasonable way of confronting it. With many systems such as "Winner-Take -All" due to states titled as the "Swing States," it can be an untrustworthy election fo rmany voters around the country. The election process not only need to be changed to select a more responsible canadidate, but to create a more trustworthy system of itself.
There is very little equality when it comes to elections especially, when the states are giving an unreliable system to choose for them. States that are considered "Toss Ups" are selfishly awarded the system named "Winner-Takes-All" due to how they apparently pay closer attention to the campaign. In the article
What Is The Electotal College by the office of the Federal Register, the method is first introduced in paragraph 7. Stating that the purpose of the "Winner-Take-All" system is not only,but to award all electors to the winning canadidate. It is said to be unrelaible and untrustworthy due to it's focus on states that appear t have more attention towards the election. On a more basic level, some states such as Rhode Island and South Carolina had not even witness the campaign and even leaving a few voters to have no say. Going back to the misunderstanding of the election of Romney,the country wittnessed an iresponsible canadidate that had ran for president. With the unreliable ridiculous system "Winner-Take-All" some states may or may not have even experienced how Romney had acted and his intentions towards the elections and the campiagn. With very little knowledge of the presidential canadidate and with limitations of voting and campaign ads, there is very little trust given towards the election process especially with more than a few states that are not being taken very seriously, with very little say. If the Electorial College could give off more information and more become more reliable towards all states, the process would be less sinister and more apreciated.
There are many more other factors in which the Electorial College must be changed to meet the appropriate dilemas and needs of the voters and their intentions towards the campaign. On the other hand, it has not changed at all only to stay unfair towards the entire country and possibly cause a catasrophe.
Let us say, there have been many incidents where elections have been on the edge of a major dilema. Wondering why a straight up orderly process can go to the point of a catasrophe, can all be easily explained as unfair.
All can be simplified in the article
Why Even The Best-Laid Defesnes of the system are wrong by Bradford Plumer, states back to the disater factor of the election of John F.Kennedy. It states back to the 1960's where faithless electors had pushed aside the votes and sayings of Louisiana had decided to vote for whomever they had wanted. It had caused a problem of course since the votes where not even of the people, but of the selfish sick minds of the electors who toke the process into their own hands. In the same paragraph it staes back to when the state of Hawaii had sent in two slates of electors to congress. With the unreliable actions of Richard Nixion, had validated his opponent's electors of course to win over the campaign. once again another issue arises in the article
Five Reasons To Keep Our Despised Method Of Choosing The President, it agrees with the unfairness of the electorals by giving the example of how the Electorial College had turned off the potential voters due to the knowledge that their votes will be uncared for. In paragraph 23, it states that in the state of Texas, it was known that the votes would have know effect of the campaign what so ever. It aslo had staes that voters in politcal elections have no care rather than to express the political refrence than what the peole think or decide. This sums up that the process is unfair to many of the states voters and must be changed to become more open and share the equality with those who are losing thier trust.
In conclusion, the Electorial College mut be changed to meet the need of those who agree that is it irresponisble when givng a repsonisble president, a more trustworhty election and an unfair process. Yet this can all be fixed simply by changing the ways it is run and to give more freedom for the people. | 6 |
7fe5930 | In the article the author tells that even though there is alot of dangerous challenges in exploring venus and that he is willing to face them challenges. In paragraph 2 the author starts out saying how venus is earth's twin and that venus is the closest planet to us in terms of density and size. In the body paragrpah i am going to talk about the challenges author states in the story about venus, NASA's asspects on venus and how we can deal with these problems.
In this paragrpah i am going to talk about the challenges author states in the story about venus,
NASA's asspects on venus and how we can deal with these problems. Some challenges the author says that venus is thowing at us is that venus has a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide that is covering the planet. In paragraph the the author also states that venus is on average 800 degrees Fahrenheit, that is hotter than mars and mars is the closest planet to the sun. The author also states that the atmosherpic pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on earth. If the earth had that muh atmospheric pressure than there would be no one left on this planet because that is so much pressure that it can crush a submarine. Beyond high pressure and heat, Venusian geology and weather present additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes to probes to land on its surface. Next, i am going to talk about how NASA asspects on venus. Some thing that NASA is saying is that there only possible solution for how hot it is and how much pressure is in the air is that with these hostile conditions that venus shoudl allow scientists to float above the fray. Imagine a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 miles above the rolling Venusain landspace, with that venus would avoid the unfriendly group conditions by staying up and out of the way. The temperatures over the ground would still be 170 degrees fahrenheit, but the pressure would be close to that of sea level on Earth. These conditons are not easy, but thye are surviable for human's. Finnally i am gonna talk about how we can solve the high pressure and high temperature. The first way we can solve these conditions are if we started having people go and live on venus and took some other living organisms with them. The second way we could solve it is if we found away to connect venus to earth and that would take away all ot the problems.
I would have to agree more with NASA's ideas on how to solve the problems venus is dealing with. i agree with the author it is just i don't think his idea's will wokr as well. One day i think we will be able to live on Venus and have it connected to Earth. In this essay i told you about about the challenges author states in the story about venus, NASA's asspects on venus and how we can deal with these problems. | 2 |
7fe7bcd | Today, automobiles are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe and up to 50 percent in some areas of the United States. To lower this statistic, many cities around the world are trying to cut down on car use in order to curb their greenhouse gas emissions. Cities like Vauban, Germany, Paris, France, and Bogota, Colombia have their own strategies for the reduction of these emissions from cars. These cities are having extraordinary success and many Americans are limiting their car usage as well.
In Vauban, Germany, many residents have given up their cars. This is due to the strict rules and limitations for car ownership in this experimental new district. If one would like to own a car, large garages that cost $40,000, along with a home must be bought. This has made many residents completely give up the use of cars and rely on public transportation and bicycles. In the article, "In German Suburb, Life Goes on Without Cars" by Elisabeth Rosenthal, one resident stated,"When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." Residents are embracing this new and innovative lifestyle and as a result, the greenhouse gas emissions from this area in Germany has decreased exponentially. The location of stores and businesses has also changed due to the very few who use automobiles. In the article, it is revealed, "In this new approach, stores are placed a walk away, on a main street, rather than in malls along some distant highway." Even with these limitations, residents are not complaining and as a result, new suburbs around the world may start to look and be like Vauban, Germany.
Many cities around the world are being forced to issue partial driving bans in order to clear the air of the city. In the article, "Paris bans driving due to smog", by Robert Duffer, it is explained how and why the city of Paris was forced to issue partial driving bans due to the very high levels of smog. Duffer writes, "On Monday, motorists with even-numbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a 22-euro fine ($31). The same would apply to odd-numbered plates the following day." Due to this partial ban, congestion was down 60 percent and 4,000 drivers were fined. These fined drivers paid, in total, around 88,0000-euro($124,000). Not only did the pollution decrease dramatically but this money went back to the government. The article then reveals, "The smog cleared enough Monday for the ruling French party to rescind the ban for odd-numbered plates on Tuesday." After just one day, the results that was wanted by the city of Paris were achieved. This is absolutely astounding and very beneficial to the city of Paris and also to Europe as a whole.
Like in Paris, France, in Bogota Colombia, car-free days have been established. In the article, " Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota", by Andrew Selsky, the Day Without Cars in Bogota is detailed. Like in Paris, there were fines for violators, however this time it is $25. Due to the fine, many of the 7 million resident used public transportation, taxis, bicycles in order to get where they needed to go. One resident said, "It's a good way to take away stress and lower air pollution." As a result of the success that Bogota has with these car-free days, more than 118 miles of bicycle paths have been made, sidewalks have been repaired, and many new restaurants and shopping districts have emerged. Other cities in Colombia and other cities in South America want to follow Bogota's lead. In the article, the mayor of Asuncion, Paraguay Enrique Riera, is quoted saying, "These people are generating a revolutionary change, and that is crossing borders." Hopefully, the car-free days that Bogota has will be common around South America and eventually around the world.
A new global trend is emerging and that is the decrease in car usage. Cities like Vauban, Germany has a large majority of its residents using public transportation and bicycles and many residents have acceoted and embraced this lifestyle. Cities like Paris and Bogota have partial driving bans and car-free days, respectively, and as a result smog and pollution in the air has decreased and many residents feel like it is a good way to take away stress. These changes bans and car-free days have lowered pollution dramatically and many feel like this is a good path for the future. Limiting car usage is beneficial to the world and these cities have proven that it can be achieved without many issues and hopefully many other cities around the world will copy this innovative new idea toward decreasing greenhouse emissions. | 5 |
7fec7af | Landform or face? Is everyones first question when they hear about the figure that looks like a face that was found on Mars in 1976. NASA has studied this topic and has come to the conclusion that it is simply landforms. Now the question is what kind of land forms and how did they form?
NASA has been studying this topic since 1976 to 2001. Team Nasa has been reshearching and studying picturers and has come to the conclusion that the face is a landform. We are highly certain it is a butte or Messa .A butte or Mesa is a lava dome. We compared the Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho and it was the same hieght as the face on Mars. NASA has studied pictures that are so high tech that if there was small shacks on the planet you could see it! This reshearch has been fun for team NASA.
As part of the NASA team I can tell you we did thorogh research to be absolutly certain it was not created by aliens. If this were created by aliens it would be a big step for NASA and the world. I hope this information was helpful to you | 2 |
7fec8f4 | Since the invention of modern transportation human society has prospered in many ways. Inventors' and engineers' creations over the years have evolved from such menial things like the wheel to beautiful masterpieces like luxury automobiles. Many wonder what this field of technology has in store for the future. Some companies already have a glimpse of what is yet to come. With the given informaiton in the article "Driverless Cars are Coming" there is logical reason to believe that driverless cars should be developed.
Driverless cars could be a revolutionary invention in the human lifestyle that would change the environment of the world of transportation. The text states,
"The cars... would use half the fuel of today's taxis and offer far more felxibility than a bus... such cars would fundamentally change the world". Gasoline consumption has become a controversial issue that worsens as time goes on, but driverless cars have properly addressed the issue which may save the global fuel economy. The article states, "Google has had cars that... have driven more than half a million miles without a crash". One of the most rampant killers of people on this world is automotive accidents. The driverless car has the potential to save lives and still gives the driver the opportunity to navigate the vehicle at the appropriate time. For information on the avoiddance of accidents the passage mentions, "The information from the sensors can cause the car to apply brakes on individual wheels and reduce power from the engine, allowing far better response and control than a human driver could manage alone". The technological implementations in these vehicles are far more advanced and have the potential to collectively save lives.
Although the benefits of these cars have been mentioned there still may be some dissadvantages to these vehicles. The text mentions liability issues associated with these cars by explaining, "If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault- the driver or the manufacturer?". The driver may come into conflict with the law which may result in a lawsuit against the manufacture for their negligence. When consumers buy products from manufactures they most likely assume that the companys' products are reliable and that issues will properly be addressed. These things may trouble some individuals, but the passage states, "Automakers are continuing their work on the assumption that the problems ahead will be solved. Tesla has projected a 2016 release for a car capable of driving on autopilot 90 percent of the time". This adresses the potential problems associated with these cars and will allow the driver to handle situations on and off the road.
The article "Driverless Cars are Coming" gives ample reason to believe that these cars should be developed for the purpose of improving quality of life. This revolutionary technology has the potential to save lives and avoid injury. The cars also aid in the global initiative to not exhaust the world's natural resources. Although these advances could lead to issues automakers are hopeful that in the future these problems will be solved appropriately. The pathway to the production of these cars is not yet clear, but despite roadblocks these cars will reach their destination in common human life. | 4 |
7ff0200 | You should join the Seagoing Cowboys program because you get to participate in many things while saving lives in the world. You get to travel and sight see, help animals and humans, and you can even have fun!
The Seaging Cowboys program is a program that you can sign up for. In this program you transport animals to different parts of the world on seas. Luke crossed the Atlantic Ocean 16 times, and he also crossed the Pacific Ocean two times durring World War Two. In this program you save people's lives by helping them. Also, by transporting animals to them.
In this program, you take part in helping the animals, but you also get to travel to many places. You travel all around the world. When you have free time, you can visit famous monuments, museums, or just have some quiet time. Luke went to the Acropolis in Greece, and he got to take a gondola ride in Venice! So, there are many fun things to do when you are a Seaging Cowboy.
Speaking of fun, you also have time to have fun onboard. You can play table-tennis onboard, volleyball, boxing, reading, whittling, and even more! You would mostly play these games on your way back from unloading the animals because you would have no more animals to take care of.
So in concusion, you should become a Seagoin Cowboy beause you get to participate in many things while saving lives. You get to travel and sight see, help animals and humans, and also have fun! | 3 |
7ff1ac8 | Aliens may or may not be real, but if they were they could not make this. I know this is just a natural landform. Yes it is weird that this landform looks like a face i agree with that, but saying aliens made it is just crazy. Here are some reasons on how i know and can prove that aliens did not make this.
First if aliens did make this how could they make it. They had to have some kind of machine or something they couldn't have just built it with there hands. So if they did make it we would of seen how like some machine like i said before. Also they would of left some kind of foot mark or something they couldn't have and not left a single mark.
The second reason is if aliens made it don't you find it weird that it looks like a human face. Where or how would they get the idea of making it look like our faces. The only way they could do that is if they went to earth and saw our faces there and if there aliens on earth NASA would be the first to know.
The third reason is in unmasking the face on mars it says in paragraph 12 "What the picture actually shows is the martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landform common around the American West." Then to prove it even more it says this. "It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho." "That's a lava dome that takes the form of an islolated mesa about the SAME height as the face in mar." So that just said that these "faces" are common around the American West and I'm pretty sure aliens are not on earth. So unless aliens came to earth made a face and then left without NASA seeing it would be impossible.
These are my 3 reasons on why i think it is impossible that aliens made it. It's just a natural form. I am not saying aliens are not real but i am saying that they did not make this face without us seeing it. | 3 |
7ff2111 | Dear State Sentor,
Why should we change whats already been working for us? You would never know how the outcome of thing will turn out. I think we should kep the Electoral College out founding father established it for a reason. Would u rather vote for President congress or citizens i pick congress because they already know what u have to do in order to do certain thing, our citizens dont know as much.
According to Richard Posner " the Electoral College is widely regarder as an anachrinism" how can u say that now after years and years of this going on. It advoids problems of elections. Even though states thst know their votes will not have aeffect it still can help. It doesnt belong in the past if it help us pick this many president. Electoral College help reduce when there is pressure for run-off to chose a winner.
Toss up states that can make a diffrence in the voting. Campaign focus on those the most cause they knowow important it is to them winning. In 2012 toss up states help the winner out because they are the most thoughtful voter. And the most thoughtful voter should be the ones the vote. Say's Richard Posner " and for the futher reason that thye will have the most infromation and attention" tell you how make of a imapct the toss up states our.
Just like a toss up states of course you going to want to go somewhere there more people to hear you. Thats why you chose a big state to help you out with that. Larger states will catch the capaign more attention rather than a small states becuase of the populations of people to help them out ask President Obama. Electoral College weight in the politcal balance when talking bout big states. | 2 |
7ff464e | The Facial Action Coding System a new technology that helps you to understand human emotions, it can calculate the movement of the major muscles of your face, it can recognize six basic emotions, and it can make a difference beetwen a real and a fake emotion
First, The Facial Action Coding System can calculate the movement of the muscles of your face, the software has a process that begins by making a model of your face in third dimension including 44 the major muscles of your face, after associate the movement of your muscles with a face that has no emotion then it know what was the movement of every muscle from its normal position to the position that has when there is a emotion.
Second, it can recognize six basic emotions, the six basics emotion that the software can recognize is: happines, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness. how it works? well it recognizes every muscle and analyzes the movement that every muscle makes when you have an emotion, that means that there are predeterminated movements and the software associate the movements of your face and the prederminated movements for every emotion.
Finally, it can make a difference between a real and a fake emotion, it means that the software is capable to recognize natural movements of your face and forced movements, it is a helpful characteristic because the software cannot have a mistake when it is analyzing emotions.
In Summary, the software has enough capacitiy to recognize, the movements of your face, Recognize six emotions, difference between a real and a fake expresion, it means that it just need to add more emotions and improve the analyzing of faces and the software would be helpful. | 2 |
7ff4ccc | "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" gives the idea to study Venus despite all the dangers Venus has going on. A reason why we should give studying Venus a try is because it has been the most Earth like planet that's in our solar system (paragraph 4). Another reason we should give Venus a try is because it may have harsh conditions and tempuratures but we could find a way around it (paragraph 5). Venus seems very intresting and new to explore and possible live on some day.
Venus is one of the most Earth like planets. For example, Venus seems like it was once covered by oceans and a lot of water (paragraph 4). Venus also has features like the Earth like rocky sediment, valleys, mountains and craters (paragraph 4).
Another reason why Venus is Earth like is because it may have also once held life very long ago (paragraph 4). Venus also has many other reasons we should visit the planet.
Venus can and may look a little intimidating but we have found some ways to work around that. NASA is working on allowing scientist to float above the fray ( paragraph 5). They are also working on solar power so we could benefit from it and it wouldn't exceed Earth's levels at all ( paragraph 5). Lastly, NASA is testing electronics made of silicon carbide in a chamber to see how Venus would react to it, suprisingly its lasted three weeks in the conditions ( paragraph 7). Venus has a lot of conditions different and the same but NASA and other scientist are testing new things out to really figure things out.
In conclusion, Venus has many features the same as Earth it self and NASA is working and testing new things to see if we could possible live on Venus some day in the future. Venus seems like we shouldn't risk going there because how different some of the features are but Venus is survivable for humans. Venus is worth giving it a shot even if we still are not sure about certain things because it could possibly benefit us all in a certain way. | 3 |
7ff619f | The Face is a natural landform,it is not something that was created by aliens. Aliens don't exsist so how could it have been from an alien. Mission controllers said that it is not easy to target Cydonia,it is hard work. What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa which is landforms common around the American West. I believe that the Face is just a natural landform because it is hard to find,it actually shows the Martin equivalent of a mesa,and aliens don't exsist.
The Face is a natural landform. You can discern things in a digital image three times bigger than the pixel size,so if there were objects in the picture you could see what they were. Each pixel in the 2001 image spamsa 1.56meters, compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 Viking photo. It also says in the passage that its a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars. Some people believe that the alien marking were hidden by haze. Thats when mission ccontrollers decided to look again, and thats when they said, "Its not easy to target Cydonia, it is a lot of hard work".
With all this data that has been revealed people should think that its just a natural landform. If there was aliens that did this their markings would be other places besides just here. Even though some people aren't satisfied with this more things in the future can happen to make them believe this. Maybe if more pictures are taken then peoples thought of view with change. I believe that its a natural landform because its hard to find, it actually shows the Martin equivalent of a mesa,and aliens dont exsist. | 3 |
7ff7dd9 | The author suggests studying Venus is a worthy pursuit, o matter the dangers it faces to do so. The author well states the topic he/she would be talking about. The author mentioned that since it is not as similar as Earth, in terms of weather/climate changes. That we should discover the closest planet to us apart from Mars. He/she included some positive and possible solutions such as, airplane flying over storms, solar power would be plentiful, air pressure at sea level, radiation would not exceed Earth levels, etc. The author knows what they are talking about and wants to prove that Venus is worth to get studied for.
The author mentioned that some of our Earth problems could be solved by Venus due to its conditions, and how Venus is not so bad compared to our planet Earth. In the article, the author states that "Imagine a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape. Just as our jet airplanes travel at a higher altitude to fly over many storms, a vehicle hoveting over Venus would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions by staying up and out of their way." This shows how Venus is not all bad of a planet to even think to live in it. Shows how there is solutions to most of the negatives it has, and how we could somehow, somewhat be living in as he descriptively explains the reader and making them imagine what it would be like to live in Venus, someday. Therefore, the author efficiently dodge the many of the negatives Venus has by mentioning some of the things that NASA is doing and some of the positives it could bring that we have in our world today.
To conclude, the author states and mentions how Venus is worth to get studied for by mentioning the many positives it could include to live in. Mentions how a vehicle such as a car could fly in Venus, and at the same time avoid terrain obstacles, which is a problem we have to deal with today. How airplanes could fly over storms, which is another problem we have today and how flights have to cancel their flights due to bad weather. One postive aspect about Venus was that solar power could be more efficent there then in our planet Earth, since on some parts of the world, solar energy is just a dream to be in. So therefore, the author efficiently states his point, provides evidence and reasoning on to why we should further the investigations on studying Venus. | 3 |
7ff8122 | A New technology called the Facial Action Coding System should be used to be read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom. In the text, the author Paragraph 6 states, “'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." (D'Alto 6). If classroom computuers were to have the Facial Action Coding Systems, then students would be more encouraged to do school work outide of the classroom. Students would be able to work on their school work without being as confused or frustrated. The Facial Action Coding System could even help adults in college, work or at home. Adults would use the system for taxes, college work, bussness emails, etc.. Also, if a student or adult was trying to fill out a job application, not only would the employer get to know the student or adult by the application, they would get to know how smart or simple minded the worker would be.
The system could even tell if you are faking a smile or not. In paragraph 8, that author states, "But in a false smile, the mouth is stretched sideways using the zygomatic major and a different muscle, the risorius. To an expert, faces don’t lie; these muscle clues are sometimes used to spot when a 'smiling' politician or celebrity isn’t being truthful." (D'Alto 8). Say if a student looks confused or upset, and the only thought that comes up is that the student is not ok, but even thought the teacher asks the student if he/she is ok, the student dosen't want to embarass himself/herself in front of the class, so they continue to say they are fine. The system will see that the student is confused or frustrated so it will try to help the student the best they can.
The new technology should be used on students. The system would help students with their confusion, frustration, and aner during class and outside of class. The software could make students work faster in or out of school, with or without a teacher, even if they get confused or frustrated. | 3 |
7ffc1a6 | Why would you think the Face was created by aliens? When photographers take pictures of Mars, you never see an alien in the photos. There may be research going on to find alien life, but so far, NASA hasn't found any. Therefore, it couldn't have been created by aliens. Scientists have credible information that shows people it is just a natural landform.
First of all, if NASA thought an alien created the Face they would already be researching it. Afterall, scientists automatically assumed that it was a Martian mesa. They are common for the area that the Face was found in. Why do research if scientists know it is only a mesa? Conspiracy theorists often try to confuse the public by saying that NASA is trying to hide Mars. This is not true, and I know this because even the people from NASA say they wish there was civilization on Mars. If NASA found civilization on Mars, they would announce it because it's exciting. No one has ever seen an alien, so if NASA released pictures they would get loads of publicity. NASA isn't going to let people lose interest in their foundation, therefore they aren't going to lie to people.
Next, we have the information that tells us the Face is just a landform. When new pictures of the Face were revealed in 1998, the truth came out. Michael Malin took pictures of Mars that were ten times sharper than the original. The new and improved photos showed everyone that the Face, in fact, was a natural landform. There wasn't any evidence that could tell us it was an alien monument.
Of course, people still weren't satisfied. Once again, Michael Malin goes back and takes photos in an even higher resolution. The new resolution helped capture the real size of the Face. After extensively studying the pictures, Jim Garvin states that it "is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa". He goes on to say these types of landforms are common on Earth, mainly in the American West. The Face is just a regular landform.
In conclusion, that is why the Face is just a natural landform. Almost 30 years of research went by until they came to their conclusion. The Face is only a meer mesa. It was created naturally, and not by aliens. No one can argue with facts! | 4 |
800225b | Despite of what Luke said about it being hard work taking care of animals all day and night,he still loves to be a seagoing cowboy.Even though it is hard work taking care of animals, it is all worth it because you travel to places around the world. There are lots and lots of animals who need help in many ways including with;food shelter,and water.Animals need people that are called SEGOING COWBOYS!
If you want to help animals survive, then sign up for the UNRRA today.If you sign up for the UNRRA you could probably go to more trips then Luke with,9 trips.You can also be able to travel to places where you never even imagined of going.If you sign up you won't regret it if you like animals.So if you are a animal person sign up for UNRRA quickly!
What Luke did was a great job with taking care of animals,but you can do even better.Also when you are doing the work that you are required you can have fun in between the breaks that you have just like Luke did. You can be a bigger help to the animals than any other seagoing cowboy was.Think positive, beat Lukes record and PLEASE SIGN UP FOR UNRRA TODAY! | 2 |
8004817 | I choose non-driverless cars over driverless cars because the fact of how much nonsence that is put into cars to make them better " Google's modified Toyota Pruis uses positoin-estimating sensors on the left rear wheel, a rotating sensor on the roof, a video camera mounted near the rearview mirror, four automotive radar sensors, a GPS receiver, and an inertial motion sensor. Ther most important bit of technology in this system is the spinning sensor on the roof. Dubbed LIDAR, it uses laser beams to form a constantly updating 3-D model of ther car's surrounding. " " They can steer, acceletate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as nagigating through work zones and around accidents."
I choose that making driverless car's are a waste of time. Making driverless car's are pointless because humans already have everything that is being put in these drieverless car's.
" If the technology fails and someone is injured who is at fault the driver or the manufacturer? " no one would have to worry about the accident and injuries bc as a human we have eyes and ears to see what is going on the road and how to avoid that and all that the new driverless cars have are sensors and GPS, sensors can not see when a child is crossing the street, a GPS can not tell when a group of kids or an inncent pedestrian is in the road to get the other side to go to his or her destination. This world needs to stop trying to make car's smarter than humans because humans have natural instincts to tell them when and when not to do something unlike driverless car's.
Driverless car's will never be smarter than human instincts, so there is no need to try and make car's smarter becuase all that is going to happen is the driverless car's will get banned and not trusted to be on the roads. | 3 |
8009260 | The Electoral College should be kept. It has been like this for a lot of years so why change it now? It is not a complicated system that people don't understand and works well with our country. Electoral College should stay, many would argue it is not a democratic modern sense but this country is a democracy so of course the system of which we pick our president has to be democratic.
The Electoral College should stay because to win it a candiate would have to be popular in states other than the South. It is understading citizens in the South might feel like their vote does not count, but at the end of the day if that was the way it has been done for several years and there is no reason to change it now. "Voters in toss-up states are more likely to pay close attention to the campaign" (Source 3, Paragraph 20). If people are starting to pay more attention to the campaign and what is happening around the country then that is a good thing to keep the Electoral College. People start to care about who governs and who tries to make this country better. They all go out and vote for who they think it is best, even if the person that they wanted to win, didnt. This system makes citizens feel like their voices matter and it can make a difference.
"The Electoral College avoids the problem of the elections in which no candidate receives a majority of the cast" (Source 3, Paragraph 22). The Electoral College is avoiding another problem so it should be kept. It is avoiding a problem such as a person getting too many votes and keeps it fair for both candiates. It is important to keep it because voters in presidential elections are people who want to express a political preference rather than people who think that a single vote may decide an election (Sourse 3, Paragraph 23). The people that think their political ideas are more imporant than votes, should the person to govern a country. They think about the good things and if their ideas are good enough, they should win.
In conclusion, the Electoral College should be kept the same. It has been the same for years so no reason to change it now. It has more benefits such as, citizens paying more attention to the electoral campaigns, and good candiates who cares more about thier political belifes then votes. | 3 |
8011911 | In the past, there has been much debate among scientists concerning the "Face on Mars". A picture was taken of a certain region of the Red Planet called Cydonia by Viking 1 in 1976. The image developed into what appeared to be a human face on the planet's surface. Some argue it is an alien artifact, but it is just a natural landform.
When scientists first studied the image in 1976, they infered that "the Face" was just another Martian mesa. Past research proves that Martian mesas and rock formations are common in the region of Cydonia, where the picture was snapped. Therefore, it is highly likely that "the Face" is just another natural landform with uncommon shadows.
Upon releasing the image for all to see, NASA captioned the picture "huge rock formation..." along with other descriptions. Some argued that it was an alien atrifact, so NASA decided to attempt something else. On April 5, 1998, Mars Global Surveyor along with Michael Malin and the Mars Orbiter Camera team snapped another picture of "the Face". The articles states the the image was "ten times sharper than the original Viking photos". This image proved that "the Face" was a rock formation, but there were still skeptics. Some still argued that it was an alien artifact, the picture was taken on a cloudy day, and alien markings were hidden by haze.
So, NASA responded yet again. The article states in the tenth paragraph "on April 8, 2001---a cloudless summer day in Cydonia---Mars Global Surveyor drew close enough for a second look". It also says "each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters, compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 Viking photo". Scientists carefully analyzed the photo. In paragraph twelve, it says "what the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa---landforms common around the American West". The natural landform on Mars was similar to landforms on the planet Earth.
The similarity of landforms on the two planets prove many things. The image proved that "the Face" is just a rock formation with unusual shadows. Also, it adds another similarity between the Earth and Mars. So, for all those skeptics out there, there's a small chance that life may still be out there on Mars. Who knows? | 4 |
80148ab | Me being a scientist is that the face was made by a natural landform in that it has nothing to do with aliens.the face has become a pop icon in it was starred in a hollywood film it appeared in books,magazines,radios and even was in talk show it was like the face became popular.some people think the face is a bona fide evidence of life on mars and others still thinking it got something to do with aliens.so that they did researches on the face as soon as the could get a close image of it.in on april 8,2001 a hot summer day in cydonia mars global surveyor drew close enough for a second look.in that the lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the face that on mars.in that the NASA unveiled the image for all to see that the caption noted a "huge rock formation ...wich resembles a human head mouth in a nose. | 1 |
801957d | Have you ever thought about the future? What it be like to go in your driverless car from your floating house on the top of a volcanoe. I have and I got to say I think its going to be great, but along with the consequences of it. I do have a couple reasons on why everyday that when we shape into what would be our future, we are also bringing along the little chaos. What came to mind is that i think driverless cars are gonna be a trajedy, instead of being the next best thing.
I start to see that when driverless cars come out everyones going to want them, but whats the price with this? I and i'm sure many other people think would we even need a lisence for this car and is it going to be safe as it sounds? I'm thinking that a sensor goes down and the malfunctions of the car happens its going to cause the death of many, many people to come. That people are gonna get lazy and the knowledge of even driving a car will be forgotten because these driverless cars, if it is ever possible.
Most people, ir some, find ways to make life easier on them and one of it is to be lazy, do the easiest job, or have the most fun while they can. The technology we have today transpires into something even bigger the next day, leaving remenents of the old/past behind. The stuff your grandpa and grandma had when they were kids, young teens, or young adults you'd be shocked because you would wonder "You guys had that??" Like its a big surprise how what they had is now forgotten.
Everyday that goes by we're forming the new furtue, but also destropying it. Driverless cars are the start and soon machines are gonna take peoples jobs. Taxi drivers are gonna be extinct because people have their own "taxi" to get to everywhere with. Who is to blame if a wreck happens, the driver or the manufacturer. I wouldnt be surprised if it be both.
All i'm saying is that if we do get so far ahead of ourselves with technology whats going to happen to us? I'm not talking about extinction, but i mean our surroundings and how it could effect us in a way. those are my reasons on why we SHOULDN'T produce these cars. | 3 |
801b999 | I think the Facial Action Coding System is valuable in a classroom because it helps the student get a better understanding of the lesson. For example if a student is confused about what to do the computer will detect this and modify the lesson so that the student would be more successful. In my opinion i think this would help out alot in the classroom because many students get confused or bored while doing work and most of the time its because they do not understand. with the new technology this would limit confused students and may save the teacher the time of having to explained the instructions again. it may also prevent the student from giving up or recieving a bad grade on the assignment due to preforming poorly. Although we can determine another human's emotions sometimes it is difficult because a person might smile at you but may be hurt inside so you may take this as if the person is ok. the person may also have mixed emotions which gives a person a different emotion instead of the correct emotion or how the person is really feeling. However with the computer you'll never br mistaken and can always find out a person real expression regardless if they are forcing a smile or not. In the article it states that when a person smiles muscles called the zygomatic major will lift the corner of their mouth and when a person is forcing a smile their mouth strectch sideways instead of upward. but how would a teacher know the difference if they are not aware of this. This new technology helps out with that and makes things better not only for the student but for the teacher as well. | 3 |
80209f9 | There are numerous amounts of risks and rewards that come with the study of Venus, and it is difficult to know whether the good outweighs the bad. The author attemtps to support the study of Venus by including facts and the possiblilty of scientific discoveries. I believe, however, that the author failed to be pursuasive in his support on the subject, due to his lack of supporting evidence and his stating lf the many risks of studying Venus.
The authors most critical mistake in the article was the use of too many facts that caused more concern for risks, and not enough rewards that would come with the study of Venus. He states the conditions of Venus, temperature, atmospheric pressure, its carbon dioxide plagued atmosphere, along with many other negative qualities of the planet. The article even states the failed spaceship landings on the planer. To the reader, stating these facts is credible, but too many of these negative qualities fail to entise the reader into thinking that the study of the planet is a good thing.
The author also fails to persuade the reader when dicussing the positive impacts that this study could entail. Too many of the topics the author writes about are hypotheticals and provide, at times, little factual evidence. These hypotheticals and the small proportion of facts used are also mixed together with risks amd negative outlooks as well. Very little is said to make one think that the study of Venus is vital or logical.
The author used little positive facts about the study of Venus, and talked of too many risks of this pursuit. He did not effectively pursuade me to believe that studying Venus is a worthy aspiration; rather, his facts and evidemce ,ade the exploration seem illogical. In order to support this cause to the bedt of his ability, the author must use more facts instead of mainly hypothetical situations, and use less negative facts about the study. | 3 |
8029c4d | Many people, and car companies, are beginning to come up with the idea of driverless cars. Driverless cars have always been an idea to people but never a reality, they have been featured in many things, such as movies and books, companies are now trying to make this idea an actual reality in our lifetime. There are many pros and cons to driverless cars, but we have to think will this be an advantage or disadvantage to our society?
My opinion on driverless cars is on both sides, I see many advantages and disadvantages, such as; driverless cars are said to cut the use of fuel by half which would be great for our planet, but also it could be very dangerous because we all know that if we have driverless cars we will have people who use the cars as excuses or reasons to do things that are not considered lawful today without driverless cars.
People who may be for the driverless cars may not be wanting the driverless cars for good reasons, they may think that because they are not in total control of the car at all times that gives them the excuse of they are not one hundred percent reasonsable for anything bad that may happen while they are in the car. They may think that they can get away with many more things because they are not driving the whole time, they could get away with texting and driving, or even being under the influence while driving. Yes, these cars will give them signals for when they need to drive but who knows if they will actually pay attention to the signal. If people today do not think anything of the laws we have set in our country what makes us think that just because they are not driving that it is any safer?
People who are for the car for good reasons are thinking about how much driverless cars could help our world. Driverless cars cut the amount of fuel used in half, that would help not only our economy but our ecosystem. These driverless cars are said to decrease the amount of wrecks happening everyday, they will have automatic brakes, these cars would basically be able to tell when we are in danger. All of the sensors on these cars could maybe even take sensors into homes and stores that could make our world so much safer.
If you were not able to tell I think I may be against the development of driverless cars, in my opinion I think there are many more things that could go wrong with the car than things that could go right. People may not take the idea of these cars seriously, but we need to realize that these cars may become an actual reality and there is nothing that we can do about it but accept it and become aware of the things that we should be doing rather than the things we could do with driverless cars. | 4 |
802db86 | The day without driving
Our world has became a world that revolves around technology and cars, and it's now starting to show how the affect of these products are tareing away our ozone. Limiting the amount of air pollution can help decease the green house affect.
All over the world people use vehicals to travel all over the place for their daily needs. People are not aware of how close they really are to the things they drive to. If we could just eliminate the amount of useage we use on cars and walk to the places near us we can help with future damage to the earth. In the excerpt
Paris bans driving due to smog ,Robert Duffer shares how paris banned there cars for the better of the world. He states "after days of near-record pollition,paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city". By banning the car uses they have made people healthier and the air much cleaner.
What we dont know is that we use about 100 to 150 gallons of gas a week, and its taking its toll. The excerpt paris bans driving due to smog states that "last week paris had 147 micrograms of particulate matter (pm) per cubic meter compared with 114 in brussels and 79.9 in london, reuters found." Meaning that we are using so much more than we need.
The End of the car culture states that " many sociologist believe it will-it will have a benificial implication for carbon emissions and the enviorment, since transportation is the second largest source of america's emissions, just behind power plants". that the enviorment is taking the toll for our wrong doings, and the enviorment is change because of the new particals in the air, and its not changing for the better.
In the essay
Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in bogota,
Andrew Selky portays how nondriving in healthier and better for you, by stateing that "it's a good oppertunity to take away stress and lower air polution". The world could use a little more walking instead of riding. By taking a walk or a hike or even riding a bike is not only healthier alteritive but it would make people much happier, which could help decrease the vilolance ratings.
By eliminating cars from our daily lives can help with getting rid of our polluted air and help getting our ozone from detriating. The world is suffering and we really need to help get it back to health. Our cars are emitting terrabe thing that are bad for our health and the eniorment so thanks to small countries contibuting to the limitations we are now starting to relise that we need to change for the better. | 4 |
802ed80 | State senator,
We should abolish electoral college, its unfair and non-democratic. The presidents seat should be based on popular votes as the winner. Instead of this Electoral college that is clearly unfair and has no clear outcome, look at what happened in 2000.
As stated in paragraph 16,"Gore had popular votes" but less electoral votes than Bush ,and Bush won that year. The problem is the
PEOPLE
are not voting for who should be president,its the electors that are electing the new or next president. This is so flawed needs to be changed like now.
The collage electoral process does have its benefits like if a president candidate increased his popularity in states he knew he could win popularity in, That would gain no electoral votes. The winner take all method sounds like a great idea. As stated in paragraph 20,The most thoughtful voters should be ones to to decide the election, but their is a flaw with that even the most thoughtful people in the world make mistakes. Look at what happened with Nixon. The president is only one person. People make mistakes. Let the People make mistakes instead of forcing everything into a box like congress.
Is their a limit on how many electors the president chooses,I hope so. A elector doesn't have to vote for a president you voted for because your are actually voting for that candidate elector, Witch is so confusing. Winning votes by popularity is the way to go. | 2 |
803153e | Driverless cars are becoming popular. In the article "Driverless Cars Are Coming," the author presents both positive and negative aspects of the driverless car. The negative aspects of the driverless car are stronger than the positvie aspects. Some of the negative aspects of the driverless car consist of: the amount of money/modifications needed, having to stay alert at all times in the passenger seat, and waiting on the law.
In the article, the author asks the reader a question. He asks, "How much smarter did the cars need to be?" He answers his own question in the reading. He mentions that the cars needed a whole lot of sensors. They needed sensors for the left rear wheel, a rotating sensor on the roof, a video camera mounted near the rearview mirror, four automotive radar sensors, a GPS reciever, and an inertial motion sensor. There are many modifications that needed to be made to the cars to make them smarter. Along with the modifications comes with the expense of the equipment. None of that equipment had to be cheap. In this case, The amount of equipment is a negative becasue of how much the cars need.
Another negative is that there always needs to be an alert driver in the passenger seat of the car at all times. In the article, the author says, "The car can handle driving functions at the speeds up to 25 mph, but special touch sensors make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel." This makes the driveless car seem less important. Also, the author mentions that the cars can steer, accelerate, and brake on their own but they are designed to notify the driver when the roads require human skills. This means that the driver has to stay alert and be ready to take over when they are needed. Because the car isn't fully driverless, the manufacturers have to make the driving fun in a new way. They have to use heads-up displays that can be turned off when the driver needs to take over.
For the driverless cars to be legal, we have to wait on the law to be passed. Many of the driving laws focus on keeping the drivers, the passengers, and the pedestrians safe. Safety is best achieved with an alert driver. The assumption is that a human driver is the most affective and alert driver. As a result, the only states that allow computer-driven cars to be tested are California, Nevada, Florida, and the District of Columbia. Even though the cars have been proved to be more reliably safe, traffic laws will need to be changed along with liability laws that will need to be established in case of an accident. This reason is a negative one against the development of driverless cars.
Though there are many positive reasons for the development of the driverless car, the negative aspects outrule and over power the positive ones making the driverless car a hassle to develop by the amount of money/modifications needed for the cars, always having to stay alert in the passenger seat, and the wait for the legalization of the driving of the driverless cars. | 4 |
8035bd1 | Having a computer that can tell what you are feeling can and can't be a good thing. Like you could be sad or depressed and not want anyone to know but they computer does. It can send information to people and you didn't want those people knowing how you are feeling. This can cause problems in a family because it may tell them something they didn't want to know.
First off some people would rather keep to themselves because sometimes showing their real self can hurt others. You can always fake being happy or fake being interested in something that you aren't, but the computer can figure out how you are really feeling and let people know that you aren't interested in the thing they are talking about or happy that someone is talking to you. It can ruin everything between people. The article states that "The facial expressions for each emotion are universal," observes Dr. Huang, "even though individuals often show carying degrees of expression" (Paragraph 4). This is saying that sometimes people don't put much effort into emotions like for instance smiling, sometimes people don't smile as broadly as they would like to.
This is my opinion on being able to have a computer analyze how you are feeling. I think it would be a bad idea and it would be better off to let people keep their feelings to themselves. Computers being able to tell your feelings is a bad idea and shouldn't come to life. We should keep it the same as it is now, where people can be themselves and not worry about people getting scared or hurt by their true selves. | 3 |
80365d2 | Mercury is closer to Earth's sun, yet Venus is the highest temperature planet in the solar system. This temperature has presented many difficulties trying to put a person on the planet. Landing someone on Venus has not been succeded yet. Many scientist and astronomers are working on creating a spacecraft that will hold together, although all of the dangers that are presented. In the text of "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" it shows many dangers and reason not to put a person on this planet, yet if they succeed the outcome would be much greater and rewarding. Studying Venus is a pursuit that should be taken. The outcomes of previous attempts to put a spacecraft on Venus have been unsuccessful. The previous trys have only survived a few hours long. It only takes one very thought out and well planned try to be successful. It would be a great place to reach and put living organisms on. Venus has many dangers although astronomers are trying to put a person on it.
Some of the dangers may seem unthinkable to put a person through but NASA is working on a spacecraft that will protect the person. They have so many advantages that are helping them succeed. The planet used to be covered in oceans and other forms of life. The text states, "Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth." This shows that it has similarities to Earth and has water and used to have other living organisms. The danger of not having any water or being able to hold any kind of life form is not there.
The temperatures and the terrain of Venus are both dangers and good qualities. Although the danger of having such high temperatures around 170 degrees Fahrenheit the air pressure is around the same as Earth's. The text states, "At thirty-plus miles above the surface, temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 degrees Fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on Earth." This shows the air pressure would be subseptable for a human to land and be able to breathe. With the right spacecraft the temperatures can be avoided and would not be an issue.
Venus has similar terrain and weather conditions as Earth. The similar features include rocks, mountians, valleys, and many more. The text states, "The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountians, and craters." This shows that the surface and ground are similar to Earth. This also shows great potential to land a spacecraft there. The extreme weather conditions on Venus is also similar to the ones on Earth. The text states, "Beyond high pressure and heat, Venusian geology and weather present additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent ligtning strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface." This shows that the weather conditions are similar, so this would help the manufactures of the spacecraft be prepaired for the conditions and help build a better craft. Although there are many dangers with every advantage the Venus is still a good planet to try and put living organisims on.
In conclusion, the studying that is being done on Venus and the more found out the less dangerous the mission will be. The advantages are much greater than the dangers. If they are successful then there will be another planet for people to live on. The similar weather conditions is a tremendous advantage. There being water already on the planet and the possibility of living organisms being on the planet shoes that it is possible. The possibilty of something great over rules the possibility failing. If the astronomers give up and say that the dangers are to big then they will never know if the dangers were not defeatable or not. Venus has all of these dangers but is a worthy pursuit to put living creatures on. | 4 |
803954d | As it shows in the article "In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars", towns or cities like the experimental town of Vauban, Germany, are capable of continuing life without the added stress of owning a car and lowering the greenhouse emissions caused by them. Although the majority of the citizens do not own a vehicle, there are about 30 percent who do, and those who don't, either ride a bicycle or on what little amount public transportation there is. Out of the 70 percent of Vauban's families that do not own a car, 57 percent sold theirs to move there.
Areas all around the world are beginnig to do the same as Vauban. Creating areas that do not require vehicles mainly due to the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that are causing the majority of the worlds climate change. Even in Paris they are beginning to cut back on vehicle usage due to large amounts of smog. In 2014, Smog in Paris measured 147 micrograms of particulate matter (PM) per cubic meter which is more than other European capitals with Brussels at 114 and 79.7 in London. | 2 |
80461ae | Is Venus wroth studying even though it is really dangers.NASA has a big idea that they will send human to Venus to study to see if we can live in it.Venus is really close to Earth there is a lot of features the aurther said ''The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as vallesy,mountains,and craters''.Earth and Venus are just alike and it is claimed that sometimes Earth is often referred twins with Venus.NASA had previous mission and failed NASA sent spacecraft to Venus and only surivived for few hours it states ''Maybe this issue explains why not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus ''.We know that Venus has a thicker atmosphere then Earth by 97percent and Venus clouds has sulfuric acids in it atmosphere.Aurther siad ''temperatures average over 800 degress Fahrenheit''.It 90 times greater than Earth.A fact it states ''Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any other planet in our solar system.Just on that imformation show to prove that it is really dangers go to Venus in away we have to respect Venus.It would be nice to send a person in to Venus to see if we can live there if something bad happens to Earth.With the right meterials maybe we could to Venus.These are all the reason why studying Venus is really dangers. | 1 |
8047cea | dear senator,
I have come to a conclusion on how I think the president and his candidates should be voted for. In one hand we've got the Electoral College, and the election by popular vote. These two thing have been around for hundreds of years but you've got to know if you prefer one or the other. So which one works better? Why do you prefer this one over the other?
The Electoral College, electors meeting and voting for our president and vice president. This electoral college consist of 538 electors that vote to for our president. I myself dont think this is a very sensable thing. Because when you think you're voting for the president you are actually voting for a state of electors who will in turn vote for the president not you. Why should there be a select few people out of the billions of people who live in america to vote for the president while we just sit and wait for the results. To only have their opinions voiced. Does'nt seem like a very fair way to elect someone who will be changing our country. This is a winner-take-all-system.
Election by popular vote, this means you and I will be voting for the president and his cabinet ourselves. That we will have a say in who we want to change or even fix our country. Although the person we vote for may not win, we still got a say in what we believe would have made our counrty a better place. Although the Electoral College might give a more clear winner, if we know that our vote will actually have an effect in the election we might pay more attention to the election and vote more wisely. Knowing that we have voiced our preference rather than knowing maybe one single electoral vote might have set the election.
Now there are some benefits if the Electoral College. In the case of having a precise vote on who gets to be president is one. Also maybe the fact that you voted fo the people who will be electing the president in a way is just the same. However this does notmean that it is better than you just voting yourself. Because those are onlyabout the two thing that are evn remotely good about the Electoral College.
So when you decide who you want to be president think of how you would like your vote to be heard. through your own vote or maybe/possibly through anothers vote. I know which system i would choose. Giving that it would give me more voicein the matter. What would you do? | 4 |
8048856 | Hi! Thanks for reading by Artical! I hope you like it! In this artical i will sow you reasons to join the Seagoing Cowboys program. It is a very good program and you should join!
The Seagoing Cowboys program is a progam where you have to take horses ALL over the world. It could be France, Germany, or even Africa! I know some reasons that might get you to want to join the Seagoing Cowboys. First, you get to see many places! They can be very buitiful, or very nasty. The mystery is what i like about that reason. Second, you can help people in need, like people in africa need food and you can help them get it and you can help plant crops and ots of other stuff! Last, Just HORSES! Who doesn't like horses?! You can take care of them, and you can feed them, and you can pet them, and all sorts of stuff! You also get extra time and you can play games!
Thanks for coming all ths way! I hope you cn get time to read some more about this stuff. If you want to join this than YAY! If you don't want to join it, (No Comment) Lol thanks for readinng. See ya 'Round the sea! | 2 |
8048efc | Some people say the Facial Action Coding System is not valuable and some say it's not valuable. If would to ask me I would say the system is valuable in many ways and them ways can be very helpful in paticular situations. For example, the classroom computer can tell how you feeling by looking at your face, can recognize when a student become confused or bored in a classroom, and they can also indicate the difference between a genuine smile and a forced one. For teachers this system can become 10 times helpful, but what really stand out it me right now it can recognize when a student become confused or in a classroom.
This stands out to me because this can helpful or easier to read when a student is student is struggling. 80% of students in a classroom don't usually don't ask for help because they afraid of saying some wrong in front of the whole classroom. Which instead of raising hand the teacher can go straight to the student and have a one on one converstation to make the student feel comfortable. Plus, not only it can see if you confused, it can also tell when you bored. It was said " the system can see this by looking at your facial expressions or your muscles in your face." So if a student get bored in class usually intend to go to sleep.
A teacher can look at the system without saying a word and change up the lesson a bit more fun because if you would to ask me paying attention in class is the key to success. Then lets not for get about the other example, " the system can tell how a friend feeling by looking at their face."
Some people say this is not a very big deal, but it's really is because one thing a teacher want to do is to get know it's class. When a sees some bad emotions in the system the teacher can reach out and the student in a personal situation. Also give the student space or can be cuation because the student can go off at any second and cause a major classroom disruption. Plus, this can help with team activities and create special bonds because in the text it stated empathy may happen because we unconsciuly imitate another person's feelings" ,which can be helpful to friends. So if you believe this is fake then you should really read this next section.
In the text it stated " they even indicate the difference between a genuine smile and a forced smile." When it's usally false smile it was said the mouth is stretched side ways in paragraph 8. Also it can read the muscle in your face to tell something is real or not,which help people understand one another better. "Then in the text it mentioned these muscles clues are sometimes used to spot when a smiling politician or celebrity isn't being truthful." So can help teachers or students solve situations more quicker and easier in a classroom. Some people disagree though.
People disagree because they nothing can understand a person a feeling. A human with the same emotions can't even understand the next people feelings, what make you think a system or technology can do it. There many apps on phones or computers that be telling straight lies. Systems always catches viruses and always starts to act up it can be giving wrong information. Now you in somebody personal business and make them very angry. In the text it said " most of us would have trouble actually describing each facial trait that convoys happy." So a machine can't do it either, but in my personal opinion it can help.
The Facial Action Coding Machine can help with telling when a friend is happy or not. Also it can help when to tell a student feel bored or confused. Lastly, it can tell when a student is using fake facial expressions. With these the classrooms of this world can become very more complex. Plus, lets not for get about the updates so this technology can improve more years to come and have more special abilities. Whoever thought that the Facial Action Coding System can become valuable to classrooms all over the world! | 4 |
8049c2f | Luke was a sea cowboy he described every thing wonderful and great but is he just saying that to bring more people in the business .
My first reason that shows that Luke is maybe trying to bring more people to work with him is that in the whole script he only comes across one problem but everything else is great which is hard to believe because in the sea there could be storms ,waves,floods or leaks on the boat but surprisingly he never comes across any of those problems which is odd.
My second reason that shows that Luke is just trying to bring people into the business is in the text it said that Luke kept on saying that he got to ride gondola in the streets of water in Spain,and got to excavate a castle in create , and even got to see the Panama Canal on his way to China so he is basically saying that all of the things he did where fun he got to go siht seeing but not everything he did could of been fun he also had to feed animals and clean stables so not every thing he did was fun.
In conclusion these reasons show Luke maybe is liens but maybe he is telling the truth its up to you to choose a side is he lying or not so maybe just maybe he could be telling the truth. | 2 |
8049fa8 | At NASA, I finally got to see "the Face of Mars", which I think is an amazing way for kids and adults to study and get interested in the Red Planet, and I hope it's not just a way to think about aliens, lifeforms, or anything out of a Science-Fiction book. I hope in couple more weeks or months, people will stop thinking in that nonsense. The Viking 1 caught a rock formation and a shadow covering it up and making it look like it was a face. This is one of the biggest hoaxs of all time, it's in magazines, TV shows, movies, and radio talk shows, I mean some people actually tell campfire stories about this, this is crazy! I would've let it go, but then my best friend calls and says "Hey guess what, I've found out why the face is there, it's a symbol from the Martians for use to come to their planet!" I wish I could've reached through the phone so I could slap him silly. He thinks just because I work at NASA, he thinks he can be a smart scientist like me. Finally in 2001 NASA descovered that the Face was actually a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa. I was finally glad we could put this behind us so that way the world can't go into chaos over a dome on Mars. Although to be fare at least some people had something to talk about or something to be interested in, because if this didn't happen, who knows what people would've done, I know my friend would've never found out a bunch of facts about Mars, or all those stories from writers, or the directors that made the stories come to big screen, it's amazing to see people actually do something with just a face on Mars. | 2 |
804d058 | NASA recently discovered an unusal landmark, on Mars. According to the text NASA discovered the landmark in 1976, and they weren't sure why the landmark was shaped how it was, a face. This shows that many people had many questions and disbelief of what NASA had been telling the public. This proves that many people where arguing that NASA was not being truthful about what they have discovered. Therefore, people where getting angry with NASA.
NASA was telling the truth, it was just an landmark. Many citizens thought it was a sign of intellignece life, and didn't believe what NASA was telling them. NASA was excited about this discovery, and wanted everyone to know. They didn't hide anything, there still was not any prove of intelligence life on Mars. NASA was saying, that if they found intelligence life, they would tell the whole world. They wouldn't try to hide such a mind blowing discovery.
Even though NASA was telling the truth about everything they have discovered, and told the public that if they found life on Mars, they would tell the whole world, that isn't something they would hide. The public still wasn't convinced. NASA would love to discover life on Mars. They sent more robots over to Mars to get better images, with better pixels, so they could get closer and see if there were huts and any other landmarks. NASA said they would never hide something so big, and important from the public or the world. | 3 |
805203f | First as a scientific NASA scientist i would explain that there is no life at the planet mars and the pictures tooken by the advanced camera showed proof that there is no life forms, but an illusion caused by the planets shadows, that formed a human shaped face in which made citizens of earth wondering is there life on mars, but this is just something that happens on the planet earth in comparision to mars.
Then for example that mars couldn't be created by aliens for example there are many illusional landforms are common around the American West including placeS like Idaho, and etc. It also included historical times when the same thing happened when unusual shadows that made it look like an Eygptian Pharaoh in Cydonia.
In conclusion there is no life on earth and that it is just shadows that was shaping into a human face, which can be similar to illusions on Earth, and was given proof that the faces were just landforms by technology. | 2 |
8055d0f | The Electoral College is a easy, yet hard way of a candidate becoming the President of the United States. The Electoral college was created by how ever many majority of the electoral votes will become the new president. This brings many issues within the U.S. . The popularity vote does not matter in a situation like this and is not likely relied on to decide who the president will be. The Electoral College is not right, it's unfair, and is very controversial. The argument though is that with the Electoral College the votes which are dominant have a better chance of the two nominees not having the same amount of votes rather than if it was relied on by the popularity votes. This still though does not resolve nor question that the Electoral College needs to be replaced.
Initially, the Electoral College is not right at all. The electoral votes in the U.S. combined throughout all the states equals 538 votes. Popularity votes which are votes that have an advantage of the election are more than tens of thousands if not more. This is an example on how the Electoral College works. An example of this is in the source by "Reasons to keep our despised method of chooosing the President" it states, " Nixon in 1968 and Clinton in 1992 both had only 42 percent of the popularity vote but won through the electoral votes because they had bigger states voting for them making them win that election". This shows how the Electoral College is not right and should reverse the value of electoral and popularity voting(Poshner, 22).
Additionally, the Electoral College voting is very unfair because many sources giving have shown to people that many candidates have had less popularity vote but have won through the majority of the electoral votes. This is unfair because popularity votes mean popularity votes which are votes that are of the majority of all votes. Unfortunately, the popularity votes do not count. As said in the source "The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong" it states, " if you wanted to vote for John Kerry and you lived in Texas the vote would go to 34 Democratic electors that pledged to Kerry". This is why popularity vote should be the deciding factor of who becomes the next President. If every election would be based on popularity vote the candidate won each of those elections would probably all change due to the fact that so many elections have won based on electoral vote(Plumer,10).
To end with, the Electoral College is so controversial. Out of more than two hundred years of elections many have been close and many have been a mile away from each other. The electoral vote decides it all though. The main problem with this process is how it is set-up. The electoral vote is dominent over the popular vote, but it shouldnt be. The electoral vote has made bad decisions yet good decisions throughout the hundreds of years its been around and the main reasin for electoral votes are to keep the candidates running not have the same number of votes so that they won't have to have another election and voting cast. "It is also really controversial since the voting also might rely on the political party that the candidate is running for", as stated by "What is the Electoral College". This Electoral College seems to go by how big the state is, the bigger the state the more electoral votes that state has; the smaller the state the less electoral votes that that state has(Federal Register, 5).
In conclusion, the Electoral College is unaccurate, lazy, unreasonable, yet successful. This process by many sources of evidence have concluded that there are in fact many holes in this system. Yet some sources have proved how the Electoral College has helped decide the outcomes and have stopped run-off elections. The Electoral College is unfair, not right and controversial and has also proved that it has pros to all these cons as well. | 4 |
8055ec2 | I think driveless cars is a bad idea. I think here are many reasons to not have driveless cars. The can be a very dangerous thing. I know it can help with some things, but for the most part we should not have them.
In my opinion we should not have driveless cars. I think this because they can be very dangerous. They can be dangerous by having the car drive by itself for a long period of time then need the human to take over and they could have fallen asleep. If the human would not take over then the car could crash and hurt the people inside of it. That is one reason cars should not be able to drive itself.
Another reason is some people enjoy driving. I like to drive and if driveless cars take over then people like me won't be able to drive their cars. Also the driveless car could not notice that there is a wreck or construction work ahead and wreck into it. This would just make matters worse. That is my other reason to not have driveless cars.
I mean there are a few things that could be good about a driveless car, but for the most part there is more negative things than positive things on them. Also they could be very expensive. People could not afford them. This is why they should not exist. | 3 |
8057932 | Does the Electoral College Work?
Mr. Senator,
I believe that the Electoral College should stay in process because it consists of 538 electors and the majority (270) that are the electoral votes that are required to elect a president. Elector groups are picked by the runner; the groups help raise votes for the runners to get more word out on what the runner has to offer for our country. Plus, they make sure the elector running, has good legitiment reasons for becomeing our countries representor. With the presidential election held every four years, the Electorial College can be still processing men, and women, who are wanting to represent our country. Furthermore, the state elector running for president, is assisted by our votes, because when you vote for your candidates, you are actually voting for your candidate's electors. Once the presidential election is over, the staes governers start a "Certificate of Ascertainment" witch list all of the canidates who ran for president in your state along with the names of their respective electors. | 2 |
8058404 | Most people might not know what Seagoing Cowboys are, but that dosen't mean that you hate it just because of it's name. You should at least participate seagoing cowboys once.
People might not have many reasons to support there statement about "Why you shouldn't be a Seagoing Cowboy'', but I have at least some reasons as why you should join the program.
One of my many reasons is if you love working with animals then your up for the job. Many of the "Seagoing Cowboys" had to take care of the Horses, young cows, and mules that were shipped overseas. On pharagraph two it states "UNRRA hired ''Seagoing Cowboys" to take care of the horses, young cows, and mules that weree shippes overseas."
If you were to join the cowboys you will have to be able to go away from your family for a while. For example, on paragraph three it states "In Augest 1945", and on paragraph four it states "By the time he was discharged in 1947", what I'am trying to do is prove my point. Since you have to be away from your family, you won't be able to see your family in about three years. If you can go three years without seeing your familly then you have forund your job.
Besides helping people, you are able to see awsome sighting and go to places that you've never been before. You are able to go and see Europe, China, the Acropolis in Greece, Crete, Panama, and you could go to Italy. On paragragh five it states " Besides helping people, I had the side benefit of seeing Europe and China. But seeing Acropolis in Greece was special," he says "So was taking a gondola ride in Vencie, Italy, a city with streets of water."
Luke also toured an excaveted castle in Crete and marveled at the Panama Canal on his was to China.
So, in conclusion I belive that you can, and should join the Sesagoing Cowboys. Only if you are able to parcipitate very well, and if you won't have a problem with all of those things you have to do. | 3 |
80596c6 | Have you ever seen something so cool that you thoght was out of this world? If not, well now you have. The so called "Face of Mars" is believed to be something made by aliens by many people. Some people think this because it looks like a face. When actually it is just natural landform common around the American West (paragraph 12).
First, I can see why some people believe that the landform is something made by aliens because it is something non common. And never-to-be seen before, something so cool and unimagineable because it looks like it has a face on it. And that some times people just want to believe that there's new and unheard of in the world.
However, in this case it is not true that this thing is an alien artifact (paragraph 6). It is actually "a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American West," the author said in paragraph 12. In paragraph 6 is also says, "photographing Cydonia became a priority for NASA when Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) arrived at the Red Planet..." In doing so is shows that scientists provived evidence that the large thing was a natural landform.
In conclusion the "Face of Mars" was proven to be a natural landform, not an alien artifact. Yes, some people may still believe that it was something caused by aliens and thats their opinion. In the future there will most likely be more unimagineable things to be proven wrong by science, and there'll still be people who choose to believe otherwise. | 3 |
805b24c | The use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable because,One,it can help the teachers keep track of what the emotions of their students are,Two,it could benefit not only a classroom,but a whole school to know what each student is feeling and what their reaction might be and,Three to see how students express how they feel about a certain thing in school without showing emotion on the outside of their faces,in other words to see what kind of bad emotions they hold on the inside, and prevent something bad from happening.
First this technology can be very useful for teachers to help their students out,by being able to see how their students are feeling. Sometimes students in schools don't get to much attention from teachers,but with the help of this technology,all teachers have to do maybe in the morning,when students arive to a classroom,check a computer that will help them know what their students are feeling. According to this article it states,"a classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored" which means not only does the teacher have to look at a computer everyday,but if the teacher tells the students to each get on a computer,The teacher doesn't do anything because the computer will let them know.
Next,the benefit could be for schools with this new technology beacause it can help them keep track of students who maybe are not having a god day,or who are very excited and happy. Another benefit to the school is that they can put this technology in each of their classrooms and it works as if it was another proffessor in the class. In this article it also states,"then it could modify the lesson,like an effective human instructure",which clarifies that this could be a help for teachers and that way schools wouldn't have to worry much about their students having issues with their emotions or tough days they have.
Finally, this technology can also help teachers and staff, not only see the emotions students have on the outside,but on the inside. Students will never tell a teacher when they are feeling very mad or angry or what actions they want to take,therefore if a teacher notices those expressions on a students face, they will know how to deal with their situation. In the text it also states,"most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication",which means this technology can read what emotion a student might be feeling inside.
This new technology can be very useful in schools and in classrooms, so I would say that since it can read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom,its very valuable. These were some of the reasons why this new technology can be very valuable and very helpfull as well so this technology has a big impact for a classroom with students in it who have emotional expressions. | 5 |
8070941 | Dear senator,
I think we should keep our Electoral College because its fair if we get to choose our president and he or she wins then he or she should be president. Some people should consider themselves lucky because of what happened in 2000 with that fiasco and it was the biggest election crisis in a century. Even though there is 270 votes required to vote for the president, whats fun about that is because there be more votes and atleast people participate in them. Choosing our president is best because when your voting for the president your voting for state electors. Also, it gives chances for people that want to be president or senator. Electoral college is not a place its a process that it lets people choose who they want in the white house. I think people should start taking things seriously because they might think its a joke but its real serious to other people. Under the 23rd Amendent of the constitution,"the District of Columbia is allocated 3 electors and treated like a state for the purpose of the Electoral College." After the presidential election,our governor prepares a "certificate of ascertainment" listing all the people who ran for president. It also gives them a chance to show and see who would do more for our country,like for example when they do their campaign commercials and what i look at is who does the best. Thats what i think about if it should be changed or not. Thank you for reading my letter and i hope my letter changes your mind. | 1 |

8078df5 | I wanted to convince you to join the Seagoing Cowboys program, lets see how I do.
The Seagoing program is a lot of work, but it changes your life. The Seagoing Cowboys program is awesome, you can change people's lives. If you join the program you can also go traveling, such as cross the Atlantic Ocean from the eastern coast of United States, thatonly took about two weeks. Also you can travel to China and only take a month.
Have you ever seen or cared for a horse? Well if you become a Seagoing Cowboy you could take care of animals, such as horses, young coes, and mules that were shipped overseas.
Luke claims you can as well have fun on your trip at sea. He says you can play baseball and vollyball. The Cowboys play with them, they played where the emty holds where animals had been housed. Table-tennis touraments or fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and playing around passed by time.
If you do choose to join the amazing Seagoing Cowboys program, I hope you enjoy it. Have fun!!! | 2 |
807917d | The Facial Active Coding System is a very new and innovative technology that has a variety of applications, and a large support for the advancement of it. However, there are some uses that have been mentioned that I fel wouldn't be extremely useful. One of these is the use of this technology in the classroom. While the Facial Action Coding System has alot going for it, the technology has small value when it comes to classroom use. Let's take a look at the aspects that make this technology both not valuable and valuable in the classroom. We'll start by looking at what benefits would come with the use of this technology in schools.
While the Facial Action Coding System isn't, in my opinion, extremely practical for classroom activities, it can still play some role in classroom use. For example, the text states that - according to Professor Thomas Huang, the innovator behind this technolgy - the technology can be used to tell if a student doing work on a computer is confused or understanding, which would help to ensure that a teacher is readily available to assist the student. In addition, Huang goes on to say that this technology can change lesson material on-the-spot if a student doesn't show interest or progress. Thirdly, the text implies that a computer program can work much more like a human instructor if it is able to detect a student's emotion. These are the main positive uses the author gives in regards to education, but I feel that these reasons aren't all they say.
While the uses in the previous paragraph make the technology seem very useful, I feel that these aren't problems in today's education system - and most certainly do not need to be handed over to a computer. For example, while the text says that this technology can make computer-based lessons more like being taught by a human instructor, I feel that a physical instructor is still always needed. There will always be a problem that even a computer can't solve, so I feel that trying to find more ways to slowly downsize the amount of teachers isn't a truly valid reason for using this technology. In addition, the text says that the program could tell if a student was becoming confused or bored, and alter lessons based on what it detects. I feel that this is also an invalid claim, as technology as new as this will be far from perfect. Imagine if a student were to not react in any way, but the software incorrectly detects them as being confused. The learning program will then switch to a reteaching section, and the student will be forced to do an activity that isn't neccessary to their success. These are just a handful of reasons why this software is not practical, but there are multiple other reasons against this technology that aren't countered in the argument.
There are many reasons that I feel this technology should not be implemented in school that aren't countered in the article. For example, because the technology is so new and so powerful, one could only imagine the cost of it. At the end of the day, the shear amount of money poured into these programs will never be paid back by reduction of teachers - and school systems will most likely never get their money's worth of the implementation. In addition, I feel that because of the price, there would be very few school corporations willing to implement it - and the few that do will face limited support because of how few sales would be. Thirdly, I feel that this technology is not worthwhile to the field of education because of technology's rapid growth. I feel that by the time this technology would become even semi-standardized, technology will have already moved on passed facial recognition, and wouldn't seem to be as innovative as it does now, at the early stage of it's life. While there are many other reasons why this technology isn't worthwhile in schools, I feel that these are the most significant.
In conclusion, you can now see both the benefits and drawbacks of using Facial Action Coding System in schools. While the technology as a whole yields a very great future application-wise, I cannot see any practical purpose of any educational system implementing it. It is costly, still in the early stages of its life, and no matter how hard inventors try - computers and artificial intelligence (for the timebeing) will never be capable of the same mental abilities that are possesed by an actual human being. As the old saying goes, if it isn't broke, don't attempt to fix it. | 4 |
807972f | There are many advantages to driving a car but there are even more reasons to limiting usage on cars as there are to driving one.
Most people today drive thier cars to get from one location to another, but most do not think about what it actually does to the environment. Most cars run on a form of Diesel fuel which release carbon emissions and other greenhouse gasses which are harmful towards the environment. Passenger cars in Europe are responsible for around 12% of the greenhouse gasses there. And in most car intensive areas in the United States up to 50% of greenhouse gas emissions is released. For a day in France car usage was banned to reduce the amount of smog in the area. After 5 days of intensifying smog the amount of car traffic was reduced by 60%. another great reason for reducing the usage of cars is that it causes less stress towards people and yourself. And it greatly reduces traffic for other cars. in Bogota, once a year they have a day without cars which is part of an improvement campaign that began in the mid-1990s. Since then it has seen the construction of 118 miles of bike paths, sports centers, and multiple parks. Some people prefer biking than driving which i salso a good way to get fit. Since there are so many bikers there most of the uneven sidewalks have been replaced by larger and smoother sidewalks.
In the end, there are many reasons to limit the usage of cars but people should consider it more for what it does for the world. | 3 |
807b8d6 | In the article the author talks about how a Facial Action Coding System (FACS) and how it can help students learn inside of the classroom. The author brings in evidence from the people who made it themselves Prof. Thomas Huang in collabroration with Prof. Nicu Sebe. They give many valid reasons as to why this should be brought in to schools and how it can help with the students with their learning and help further their progress. FACS should be used in schools everywhere.
Prof. Thomas Huang gave pretty amazing reasons as to why schools should equip FACS, one of those reasons was that FACS can determine if a student is confused or bored, then make the lesson easier and more fun for the student. Many student across the world can have trouble comprehending anything they just learn or are in process of learning, imagine the computer just automatically making it easier for them to learn the lesson without the teacher having to stop and repeat it. This would make many students understand their material and do better on test or quizzes, maybe students would actually even do more of their homework. Aside from just helping students with grades it could help teachers determine the type of mood their students are in that day to know whether or not they are having a good day. Teachers often get mad at students for putting their heads down or not doing their work not knowing that, the student could be feeling sick or just not having the best day.
This would help teachers to know not to really bother the student unless truely needed to. On the other hand it can also help students with their friendships, students often have trouble when trying to figure out if their friend is okay or not. When a student's friend is not okay they often try to figure out what is wrong with them, commonly asking the questions like: are you mad, sad, happy, etc, usually the friend either tells them, or the student guesses, sometimes they won't ever find out because the friend won't say. This can a lot in friendships because once the student
finds out they can talk to their friend or a trusted adult depending on the situation. This can help many kids feel like they aren't behind and can give them, a different perspective about school itself.
All in all this would be an amazing device that can help better students career and brighten the future ahead of them. FACS should be brought into schools to help students progress in their learning and even higher many kids goals for their future. Here and now stands an amazing creation that shouldn't be wasted on small things it should be put to the use of children everywhere. | 4 |
807c627 | Driverless cars, in my opinion, sound like a very good idea. Sometimes people need to take a break from driving for a second or maybe a person dropped something and they need to pick it up real quick.If a person has a headache they can take an advil while they're driving and not have to worry about getting in a accident.
Even though it is a driverless car, i still don't think it is a good idea to text and drive.Its never a good idea to text and drive in my opinon. It just such a bad idea to text a person back and put your life on the line while doing it. I remember when I was a little kid I'd see driverless cars and I thought it was the coolest thing. That is most likely why I am arguing for the use of the driverless car.
Techonolgy isn't always the most reliable thing but look what I'm typing this essay on, a computer.I think that if the car malfunctioned it would be the manufactures fault/problem. If people are willing to pay $60,000-$150,00 (that is just my estimate for how much it would be) for a driverless car then they should be guarnted there saftey.I know if i spent that mcuh money on a car I'd think it'd be able to not malfunction.I never thought anybody would invent a driverless car but hey, its 2016. Anything is possible, unlike Trump being elected for president. That will never happen. Hopefully. | 2 |
80828df | Limiting car usage comes with benefits for everything. It benefits the environent, yourself, and everyone else in the world.
If you use your car less or just use it when you need it, the amount of pollutants in the air from vehicle transportation would drop drastically. Vehicles are the second leading cause of pollution in the world behind factories. Cars are responsible for up to fifty percent of gas emissions in heavy traffic areas in the United States according to Elisabeth Rosenthal's essay "In German suburb, life goes on without cars". It is a very simple concept, cars produce gas emission, and using your car less can help protect the environment from pollutants.
The environment is not the only thing benefitted from limited car usage. You become healthier if you choose to totally lose the vehicle. Heidrun Walter stated "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." Limiting car usage can also limit stress in a person. Besides being stress free, if you choose to walk to where you need to go, you exercise and do not realize it. Basically, if you want to lower your stress, not be tense, or be healthier, just limit your car usage and walk or ride a bicycle.
Vehicle accidents are a major cause of death in the world. So, if you decide to not use your car as much and just walk or bike, that is one less driver on the road. If the trend of limiting car usage and walking or biking spreads, the threats on the roadways will lower drastically. So in turn, using your car less can help keep everyone safe and help lower the amount of vehicle accidents and save lives.
With more people on the side walks, and less people behind the wheel, everyone can be benefitted. From stress to gas emission, everything can be solved with limiting your car usage. | 4 |
8084fa4 | The use of the Facial Action Coding System is valuable in a classroom because it helps a teacher read the emotions of their students. For example, Dr. Huang predicts that a classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored, and the Facial Action Coding System could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor. Therefore, it could help bring teachers and instructors to attention that their student could be confused about the lesson, when theyre too embarrassed to raise their hand or speak out.
The new technology of the Facial Action Coding System could help the teacher improve their teaching, such as, if a student is tired the teacher may take a little break to let the kids recouperate and wake up a bit more to help them focus better on the lesson. If a student is upset, or sad, the teaher will notice and pull the student aside to figure out if they are okay or not. This new technology will improve teaching and the way students learn.
To conclude, the use of the Facial Action Coding System is a valuable addition to classroms because it could potentially help a teacher improve their teaching to give their students a better learning experience, and to read the emotions of their students. | 3 |
8087773 | My thoughts on using technology to read students' emotional expressions are for it. The reason I would love to have this is so when I don't know how I would feel, I could figure it out by using my computer. The reasons I would want this are; I could know my emotions at any time, I could learn more information, and I could know how other people were feeling.
I could know my emotions at any time because of this program. I sometimes don't know how I feel and want to know what emotions I am feeling. I would want this so that I could know how I felt about the thought of something or someone. I would also want to have this so that I could find my input on things that I am unsure about. I think that I would personally like this program.
I could learn more information by using this in the classroom by being more interactive in every class. I wouldn't get off topic in the classes and would never be bored with the class. I would get all of my work done and have time to spare and would be happy in doing so. I would love to have this in the classes that we don't have enough interactants in. I would be more into the class and have an overall better time understanding what we wouldbe learning.
I could use the program on other people to see how they were feeling. That would make me less confused and let me be happier. I would love yo know what other peoples' emotions were always so that I wouldn't make them have a worse time. If we were to use this in class, this would make the class a better overall experience.
Overall, I think that knowing how I feel, retaining more knowledge, and understanding peoples' emotions, would make life much easier. I wouls hope that this would make me a better person in general and help everyone who is emotionally unstable. I think that this would be a great thing to have in school. | 4 |
808ae03 | Have you ever wanted to be a seagoing cowboy.
Well you should be a seagoing cowboy because you get to travel the world and you get to work with animals.
I think that you should be a seagoing cowboy like me because you get to travel the world with some of you friends and you can be with animals see some stuff on the way there and help the animals.
I also think that you should be a seagoing cowboy because you can help the people that need the animals thatyou are taking to them.
The text states that luke got to go al around the world and he did it with his best friend.
The text aslo states you can be with other peope and you get to be with animals for most of the trip.
Other people would think that you shouldnt because you uhave to be on a boat for over a month and the boat might sink, Because there are 335 horses on the boat.
The text also states that you will with people that you dont know will be on the boat with you and you have to get to know the.
The text also states that you can fall off the boat and into the sea if your not carfull. | 2 |
808e21c | I thank that you soulde join the SeagoingCowboy's because you get to see stuf that you wold never a magin . You get to help poeple out free animals . You also get to meet new poeple thuow out our day .
I can name some thing's that you do you can play boxing , voleyball games , table-tennis and evin beasball !

. So that why you need to join the Seagoing Cowboy . So hople you will join the Seagoing Cowboy's | 2 |
808ef10 | The way I think about this articale is that I dont think that it will be a good idea for use. because what if you where puting on a face. If we put this technology into are computers it would mess with people that look like they are struguling for a person that is just boted and does not want to do it. So they would wast there time if it would go throw a deminstration about how to do it. Even if was a thing that was just for your computer it would not be fun. Do to the fact that it mite mess with what you are trying to do.
One the part with people puting on a face what if you where smiling but was acutually sad just for the fact that you had to. Many times when you see a picture it may look like he/she are acting like that but are actualy not so it could through it off and mabey get you confused on the way.
On the other hand it could help you like if some one was thinking of some thing and you could not help them or dont know if to do somthing or not. Mabey you could make it into something small like a app on a phone. People would use it to have fun with while walking or try to make it a game among friends that are around you and see if you can tell one anothers expreshons. | 2 |
8090923 | Why do we vote? we vote because it lets us have a say so in who is above us. The electoral college doesnt let us do that. We vote but it does no use. By you having the Electoral College, means our votes are worthless because youre going to do what you want anyways. Electors choose who they want to run the country not us. You need to change the electoral college too popular votes for next election for 1. because its fair and its a say so from everyone not just a group of people. 2. you know theirs no cheating. and 3. Everyones vote counts.
Changing the elctoral college to popular votes is a good idea because its a fair game. Everyone gets their vote in, everyones word counts, theirs no cheating. Any canidate running can cheat and "pay" the electors without anyone knowing. They may think they know whats best but do they really? Letting it be a popular vote wont only make it a fair game but will include everyones vote as important as anyone elses.
Voting is an important part of this country. Thats why you have to wait till youre 18. otherwise they'd let you vote at any age. voteing lets you have a say so. but if you vote and it doesnt go towards anything and the electors choose anyways then why do we vote period? Having popular votes means everyones vote counts. big time.
Thats why you need to change the Electoral College to Popular voteing. Please take this into consideration. We need to have a voice of our own not others. | 3 |
8096d1d | I do not think that it is a good idea to develop driverless cars. Drives will get distracted more easliy if they do not have to pay anettion at all times to the road. Also the next generation to come will not know how to drive and it will soon be a forgotten skill. This will also make the unemployment rate go through the roof. Over all it is a bad idea that will hurt are nation and others finacualy and cultrally.
The driverless car would be a wreck waiting to happen. Teens now a days have a short tension spand and would get easily distracted by there phones or even fall asleep if they did not have to pay attention to the road. These so called smarte cars still need the drivers to be alert and to pay attention just in case they drive in to a construction zone and the driver has to take over. Well if the driver fell asleep it would be so easy for them to get in to a car crash. If these companys are really worried about the drivers well being they would not put them in a situation where they are not only putting there own lives at risk but others too. Granted that even know driving is still dangerous, but it is one thing to have full control of your car rather than have to put your faith in a programed
that can not even make its way through out a work zone with out the threat of running some on over.
Having a lisonce is an importante part of growing up. It teaches your resposibiltity and gives you a feeling of liberation and freedom. If are generation startes to us driverless cars then the future generation will stop gettting drivers lisonces and driving will become a lost art. It is important that people learn how to drive. Its a sence of freedom that Google and any other companys or car manufactures should not be able to take away.
Having driverless cars will break are nations back. Unemployment rates for yougth are at an all time high. Many people in big cities make there money by either being cab drivers, or bus driver. The driverless car will put these hard workers out of jobs. Making the unempolment rates of this country even higher than they all ready are.
Driverless cars will only lead to destruction. Unemployment rates will shoot up so high it will be the great depression round two. Accidents will be happening left and right. Our generations attention spaned is shorter then a gould fish's. Putting use in a metal box and tell us that we do not really to drive the car but we need to pay attention just in case is a good way to cut are popullation in half. Not to even mention the fact that soon driving will be a lost art. Its a freedom that should never be stripped from us. Driverless cars are not a good idea and will only leave a trail of misery behind them. | 4 |
809939b | In a class room there are many students all with different kinds of learning styles. There are so many types of learning you can't do one learning style and have everyone best learn by that.With new technology you can see peoples emotions by a computer scan. The new software is called FACS or Facial Action Coding Sytem and it enables computers to identify human emotions. In todays essay we are talking about if using FACS would be good use in the classroom. This subject I strongly disaprove of for many reasons.
To start in paragraph four Dr.Huang stats "The facial expressions for each emotions are universal" later in the tesxt it talks about how the computer can read the six basic emotions, with their being universal facial expresions the computer can give off flase claims saying if a student is "happy", "sad", or more. The next reason I stand against this is we can already tell most of teh emotions from just looking at someone, lets look to paragraph five which says you can probably tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look on her face and that claims would could not describe each facial trait, this shows we don't need a most likly very expensive computer to tell us what we already know. A teach can clearly tell if a studnet is bored or sad and thats why today many teachers try to teach one day with a hands on activity for the students who benefit off of that anf they do other lessons with a different way to teach for the students who are better at such way of learning.Lastly I want to look at paragraph eight were is talks about fake smiling and how the computer "could tell" who is being truful and lying. Using this in the school place would not be the best, imagine this a student is talking to his or her "friend" and the "friend" is smiling and laughing but its not a true laugh its a fake laugh this could ruin "friendships". While I am sure many people want the "fake" friends out of their life since this technology would not only be used for teachers it could be used with sutdnts in the class room it could cause sooner causes of childhood depression and give insecurtites to stundets at a younger age.
When you ask yourself if using the FACS technology in the classroom if it is good or bad make sure to think about a couple things. The first being very few things come out perfect so the technology would need to be fixed since it can read false facial emotions. The next one being we cna already read basic emotions and some teachers already try to use all the tyoes of learning for studnetas within the year so eveyrone can learn. Lastly this could lead to your child to have sooner depression and insecurites. The last reason to not have this is the largest as America already suffers with huge amounts of ealry aged childhood depression leading to more susides you have to look a the big picture here, in todays socitey we are already leaninig more towards heavy technology and sadly soon our expressions wont matter only our internet expressiosn will so there is no need to put so much money into a device they may give off false inofrmation. I hope you take a look at my essay before decidng if this FACS device is helpful or not in todyas socitey. | 3 |
80998b6 | Venus is one of the brightest points of light in the night sky and the closest in distance as well. However, the Venus has proved a very challenging place to explore or to examine more closely. In this exploring process, it will has a variety of stumbling blocks to make scientists stop to explore it. But actually, 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. So that's why people studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents.
Here're some evidences regarding why the people still to explore it. For instance: Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation ( Paragraph 8). According to this evidence of the article, I can see innovation can help people discover more meaningful things and make country's development gradually more flourishing than before. " NASA is working on other approaches to studying Venus." " The thought of computers existing in those days may sound shocking, but these devices make calculations by using gears and levers and do not require electronics at all." ( Paragraph 7) From those evidences, I know they've met important problems to solve when they were exploring Venus, but they still work on this project and try to use different ways or technology to solve those difficulties in not good conditions.
All above, despite the danger presents, we can use imagination or innovation methods to create and explore new works of our life, because that not only is able to help us improve our technology skills and the Venus is a valuable science achievement but also it desveres to explore the Venus. So that's why the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. | 2 |
809fa66 | "The Electoral College process consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress." There are 538 electors in the Electoral College. In order for a candidate to become President, a majority of 270 votes is required. I am in favor of the Electoral College because of the certainity of outcome and becouse of the states.
First, I am in favor of the Electoral College because of the certainty of the outcome. Because of the number of electors is even means that there could be tie. But, people don't understand that is very unlikely. As said in Source 3: In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President, "A dispute over the outcome of an Electoral College vote is possible-it happened in 2000- but it's less likely than a dispute over the popular vote." So, most of the things that people stress over about the Electoral College are very unlikely to hsppen.
Secondly, I am in favor of the Electoral College because of the states. Two types of states are big states and swing states. Big states are the states that have the largest population that "the Electoral College restores some of the weight in the political balance" on. One of the other types of states are the swing states. Swing states use the winner-take-all method. Swing states don't vote for the President based on his or her political party. They vote for the President based on who they are or who they like better out of the candidates so you never really can know who they are going to vote for.
In conclusion, I am in Favor of the Electoral College because of the certainty of outcome and because of the states. The Electoral College have sources to rely on so that it won't fail. Most people just don't realize it because there has been a couple problems with the Electoral College before but, the Electoral College is a good system to have. | 4 |
80a1c47 | Do you want to join the Seagoing Cowboys program? My name is Luke and I did the program and I had a blast. The Seagoing Cowboys progam takes you places unique around the world. If you want to know more about the Seagoing Cowboys keep reading and learn what the progam is about.
One reason to join the Seagoing Cowboys is to get to see new places you have never seen. The Seagoing Cowboys is the best to know, when you want to visit a place. If you would join maybe they just happen to go where you want to see or visit. I went to nine trips before I was discharged in nine-teen forty-seven. You can go on multiply rides before you get discharged.
The second reason is, so you can be open to new places. Some people have lived one area their whole life and have never been many places. If they had to move they would not know some things were in the area they where going. The Seagoing Cowboys takes you different places, so you are not in one area your whole life. If you never met some animals then maybe you would get to meet them and even be able to take care of them if you join the Seagoing Cowboys.
The third reason is to learn more about Earth. If you would join the Seagoing Cowboys you would learn a lot more about Earth and the places that are on Earth. When you get know more about Earth then you become smarter and know more about whaat can happen. The Seagoing Cowboys program helps you learn a lot more about animals and wildlife. If you join the Seagoing Cowboys you can definitely be like me and make nine trips and learn something new everytime. If you can not take that many trips you still can enjoy it and learn.
I think overall it is that I had a great time. I think you should join and then maybe you will have as much fun as me. If you join then you will have to learn about animals and learn how to take care of them. If you do join Seagoing Cowboys make it useful, and help you learn more about the Earth, be open about Earth, and see new places. If you want to learn more about these things then you need to join Seagoing Cowboys. | 3 |
80a6291 | Cars are manufactured. They were designed to be put on this earth and be used by responsible drivers. Having no cars as a safeguarded transportable vehicle is like having your dices tossed on the dirt and you can't predict what you have. It's not define as smart decisions, this is considered by opinions. Individuals have dissimilar opinions on driving, whether it is dangerous to get behind the wheel or that it should be outlawed. Most can agree with the Mobile World Congress in the executive chairman, Bill Ford. His proper approach is to plan a business plan for a world that consider personal vehicle ownership is undesirable so they can put down emissions so it can improve safety. I don't buy it. Rejecting car culture is certainly the dumbest alternative decisions that anyone has to make. To provide reasonings to my strong point, brings me back to paragraph 36. It clearly states in bolded writing: ''With all these changes, people who stopped cars commuting as a result of the recession may find less reason to resume the habit....'' Furthermore, the demographic shifts in the driving population have strong trend that I can agree with. When you are fifteen, you can partake on the written and reading portion of driving and as you study your way to reach your goal, you get your permit. As you ascend your way into the online session and the real world test, you'll find yourself receiving a license as your ticket of permission to be behind the wheel by the law and by the state. Car ownership turnmoil is documented and caputred by the state due to it's nonfundamental implications that's truly not beneficial to those who rely on taking responsiblity for their actions. But if the decrease in measures that can be jotted down on paper proves that you have overestimated your duties and perogative that will not be catergorically denied before a state court or driving school. Once you lose your vehicle, it's not about banning the driving, this is about how to teach the driver on how can he or she be better the next time. Taking away driving privileges and sorts of public transportation will ease it's way to find itself in a world where nothing will be run by anyone. | 2 |
80a808b | What is the one thing a citizen of the united states sees just about everyday of their lives, vehicles. Vehicles are one of the most important creations America has ever had to offer but sadly there is a catch its killing this planet we call Earth. But there is a simple way to stop this atrocity from going any further. Its quite simple really all we need to do is limit our time driving. The advantages of doing this will help stop air pollution, reduce stress, and help urban and rural areas feel more like a community.
its incredible how with time communitys stopped being what they used to be. What happened to everyone knowing everyone in their community. Well if we limit the time of driving not only will we need to find people to carpool with, Americans are going to start meeting new people and start becoming more of a community again. Studys last year has shown that driving by young people decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009. They either biked everywhere or carpooled with friends and family becoming dependent on other people in their communitys.
The danger and stress that comes with driving is unmeasurable. Everytime you drive on the road you are putting your life and everyone your driving with lives in danger. Its only reasonable to say the less amount of people driving the less stressed Americans are. In the passage car-free day spinning into a big hit in bogota, by andrew selsky he states "Its a good opportunity to take away stress..." and many other articles state that as well such as In German suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars written by Elisabeth Rosenthal "when i had a car i was always tense. im much happier this way". Driving less stressed will also lead to less accidents and less deaths per year.
Pitch black skys, every breath you take is killing you, and you wonder why did this happen, and you think back to all the advice people gave to you about driving. The future is sometimes hard to think about when your living in the present but the future will come and what it is will be based on what you make it. Air pollution is one of the biggest risks to this earth we have. To help stop this pollution well have to give up on using gas but for now lets take a baby step and just limit our time driving. Many communitys have stopped and or limited their time driving. Bogota located in colombia, paris, Vauban located in germany, why not just limit time spent driving in America.
Let us be the last of a dying breed and the birth of a new generation by being role models and start acting as americans worried about this planet. Out of everything asked for us to do this is only a tiny portion of it. This change will not only help us altogether it will change the outcome of the future for the better. | 4 |
80a82c7 | In the article "Driverless Cars Are Coming" the author states both positive and negative aspects for driverless cars. It tell you about tells you about all the grater thing that they can do and even the not so greater outcomes that can come from a driverless car.
My position with driverless cars is that I think they will be a great idea because it gives humans a better chance at looking out for thing that might potically can get them into a car accident. " The information from the sensors can cause the car to apply brakes on idividual wheels and reduce power from the engine, allowing far better repsonse and control than a human driver could manage alone." The driverless cars can protect you than you can protect yourself and anyone else in the car with you. The driverless car can even handle any driving functions up to the speeds of 25mph. The cars are designed to let the driver know when there is accident ahead of when there is road constrution going on so it tells the humans to take control because the car knows that it can't do it by itself. " They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves,but all are esigned to notify the driver when the road ahead requries human skills,... navigating through work zones and aroung accidents." The car can a geart thing that happens to the world.
The driveless car has been around for as couple of years. Even in 2016 we have cars that brakes if you get to close to a car and that won't turn on the radio if seatbelt in not buckled up. " Tesla has projected a 2016 release for a car capable of dring on autopilot 90 percent of the time." I know it might not seem like a lot but it is in 2016 alone humans have made " MercedesBenz, Audi, and Nissan plan to have cars that can drive themselces by 2020." That to me a big improvment from just the little things that we have right know. To me cars braking if you get to close to another car is pretty good .
In conclusion, the driverless car can be very helpful to humans because it helps us stay safer on the roads. Also, the car knows when it's not good enough to help you anymore so it has you take control of it so that it won't get you or anyone else hurt if it can stop or anything else. | 4 |
80a8ff9 | "Hey, do you want to take cattle to Europe with me?" Don Reist asked Luke. Luke went with Don and loved it. Luke decided to make this his living so after WWII Luke traveled the seas as a Seagoing Cowboy. Would you like to do the same?
You should become a Seagoing Cowboy! There is so much to do. For instance for all those people that enjoy sightseeing will like this job. One reason is because in my time being a Seagoing Cowboy I have already seen Venice Italy with streets of water. I saw an excavated castle in Crete. The best sight though was the Acropolis in Greece. Like I said there is so much to do.
If you like animals this will persuade you. In this job I get to spend all my time with animals! And there are animals you don't typically watch like horses and just different kinds of cattle. Also you can wacth them at any time because the animals are indoors. You can't beat this job.
This will persuade you if nothing else has. All you do in this job is travel. You get to travel totally free too. The only thing stopping people from traveling nonstop is the cost but here it is covered. You go all over the world as well. I have crossed the Atlantic Ocean 18 times and the Pacific twice! This is my favorite part of the job I hope it is yours too.
You can't refuse being a Sea going Cowboy now. Another reason to be a Seagoing Cowboy is the finance. You get paid to travel to all these amazing places. Boat travel is something a lot of people want to do but can't because of the price, however if you are a Seagoing cowboy you get paid to travel by boat. Lastly you save money because you don't need lots of accesories at home since you'll be traveling the world. This job has no flaws.
Being a Seagoing Cowboy is a blessing. My friend persuaded me to do this job years back. Now I am passing on the tradition and I hope you do too. Again help me in the Seagoing Cowboy program you won't regret it a bit. | 4 |
80b1f21 | The so-called "Face on Mars" is not what its famous title implies. If it's name was to be re-done to be politically correct, it would be renamed "The Mesa on Mars." The landform would be renamed that because it is a mesa, if there was life on Mars we'd know, and because the only reason we ever called it a face was because of poor camera quality in 1976.
In many Western countries, there are landforms called Mesas. They're quite amazing, and a few probably do look like faces up in space. But do people believe that aliens created them? Why, no! Mars is alike to Earth in ways, so it makes sense for it to have some of the same landforms that we do.
If there even was alien life on Mars, the public would know about it. Just like they found out about the "the Face on Mars". It would get NASA publicity and money, so they'd tell the world about their findings. So if the face really was created by aliens, NASA would tell us. But they know its not, so they won't tell us otherwise.
At first in 1976, the mesa did look like a face. Most of that is due to the shadows that were cast at the time and the quality of the camera. It wasn't the best. But, cameras kept evolving and NASA eventually went back in for better pictures. Once they did, though, it did not resemble a face as much.
In conclusion, "the Face on Mars" is actually a mesa. Science and good camera quality has proved it. And if that's not convincing enough, it is a mesa just like we have in the U.S.,
NASA would be the first to let anyone know if there was life on Mars, and because it only ever looked like a face due to bad camera quality. Now, there is not as much mystery to "the Face on Mars", and it may not be as much as an adventure, but NASA
can add it into the books of what we have learned about our universe. | 3 |
80b3474 | Driverless cars are becoming less of a fantasy and are quite possible to create in the near future. I personally feel that the production driverless cars would not benefit our society because of the dangers of an electronically controlled car and the legal issues the can arise from them.
There are already many dangers that come with cars that have drivers, but so many more come along with a driverless one. If the cars stops responding to instrictions, it can become a servere hazard and start skipping stop signs, red lights, or even begin driving on the sidewalk. Another issue that comes with that is who to blame for the accidents. As the article said, we can blame the manufacturer or the people in the car. However, how can we determine who is to blame? The court process would be far too much effort for the case. This incident will also likely occur more than once, causing even more drama.
The idea of a driverless car sounds like a good innovation and could be very useful. But when looking at the danger and legal issues that come with the cars, the production of them just doesn't seem worth it to me. | 2 |
80b646c | Imagine being convinced that completing a certain task is worth any strugles along the way, and you end up severely hurt because of it. That is exaclty what the author of this article is trying to do. In the article, "The Challenge of Exploring Venus", the author does a poor job of supporting the idea that studying a planet as dangerous as Venus is worth it. Studying Venus is a terrible idea because technology isn't advanced enough, it would take years to discover anything beneficial, and the costs' of this, both in money and lives, are outrageous.
Technology throughout the world has improved since the 1900's,however, it has improved on Earth and in regards to Earthly tasks. When talking about something as dangerous as exploring another planet, it is easy to see that our Earth bound technology simply cannot do the job. in paragraph 5 of the article, the author describes an idea that was thought up by "The National Aeronautics and Space Administartion". This idea is to have humans 30 or so miles above Venus for exploration. The author claims how this would be beneficial in keeping humans safe from the Venusian landscape. However, The author does not support this idea well, as he goes on to say how not much exploration can be done from there, and the conditions would still be extremely dangerous but "survivable". Also in paragraph 7, the author explains how NASA is working on other approaches to study Venus. He explains how they are working on some simplified electronics, made of silicon carbide, that have been testedd in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface. This may sound like a good thing, but it is far from one. This is because the author finsihes by saying that the electronics lasted only three weeks. If a computer can't withstand Venus's conditions longer than three weeks, I am very doubtful that a human can. This proves my point that our technology is far too inadvanced for such a task like exploring another planet. Therefore supporting my claim that the author did a poor job in supporting this idea.
Exploring unmarked territory isn't something that can be done over night. Unmarked territory is exactly what Venus is. Even if technology did evolve enough so that humans could visit this planet, it would takes years, decades, even centuries, to accomplish. In the article, the author continously offers alternatives for exploration. He does this is paragraphs' 5,6, and 7 where he gives examples of organizations that are working towards this exploration. However in all of the paragraphs, the author seems to only be giving "what if" scenarios or in some cases just simple ideas that have been thought about and are possibly being examined. He fails to provide any real data or statistics for these things, except when he mentions the simplified electronics in paragraph 7. Even then, those devices are only able to survive for 3 weeks, so it would still take many years to just improve those devices. Also, in paragraph 6 the author states, "Many researchers are working on innovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowledge of Venus". This statement is very broad, and it does not key in on any form of information that should lead us to believe that to be true. These details from the passage prove my point on the amount of years it would take, as well as the fact that nobody has any idea how long. The question to be asked here is, "Is it worth the wait?". For these reaons I stand behind my claim that the author supported the idea of exploring venus very poorly.
Assuming that the exploration of Venus does eventually happen one day, how much money would go into it, how many lives? These are all questions that need to be considered when brainstoming the idea of visitng another planet. The author of this article is avoiding all of these mainstream problems by simply saying it's worth the risks, when it actaully is not. In paragraph 3, the author explains all of the dangers of Venus and how they can affect humans. He explains, " On the planet's surface, the temperature averages over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet." Considering that this is true, we can definitrly assume that condition on Venus are severly dangerous, and a lot of people may get hurt trying to explore it. The aurthor also states, " These conditions are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on Earth; such an environment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oeans and would liquefy many metals. What the author is stating here is that not even our strongest materials and creations can withstand the conditions on Venus. This means that in order to explore Venus we have to design all new machinery, which would cost a lot of money, not to mention the human costs as we would need humans to test things out. He also makes it notable that venus has the hottest surface of any planet, despite not being the closest to the sun. All of these facts are serious concerns when regarding human safety as well as propr functioning of machines. Even if exploring Venus was a possibilty, would it be even be worth it after all of he human costs and money costs or paid. What we are discussing here is putting human lives at risk, and spending a ton of money on a project that is no where near being ready ready to present. These reasons as well as the provided facts assure me on my claim that the author did a terrible job of supporting this idea of exploration.
In conclusion, since our technology isn't advanced enough, it would take far too many years to do, and the human and money costs wuold be outrageously high, we should not explore Venus. Exploring Venus proves to be very dangerous, and we have proved that we are no where near being ready for such a task. We would first need to advance our technology for the task. This would take years to due, it would also use up a ton of money, and put people in serious danger. The author did a terrible job of supporting the idea that exploring Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dnagers it presents. For one, there were not enough facts presented in the article that were beneficiary to the idea. Also, of the pros that were present, the cons outweighed then tremendously. Exploring Venus proves to be a terrible idea, atleast until we are actually ready to do it. | 6 |
80b8f92 | The technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable, because the person could be really down or mad a math problem. Also in the text it said that when a student is confused or bored it can tell that they are so the computer will give them a problem they understand. Plus if a student is having a bad day the computer can detect that so the teacher could ask the student if they need someone to talk to or if he or she needs to go chill out in the health office. the computer can tell that your mad, sad, or felling sick to your stomach because it reads the mucels in your face like when your eyebrows go up from getting suprised or how your cheek bones go up from smiling. Also the computer know the percentages of your feeling the computer can tell you that your 80% happy and that your 10% mad and your 10% bored.
The computer can also tell if you dislike the ad its showing so it wont show anything similar to it but if it shows that you like the ad the computer will put another ad similar to the one you smiled or laughed at. Dr. Huang and his colleague made this kind of computer so that we humans can have better computers and better ways to communicate with each other. So we would know if someone is mad, sad, or glad so we can help them out with what they are going through. But the process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face. But all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles. Dr. Huang relises that Dr. paul Eckman creator of facial action coding system has classified six basic emotions like happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness then associated each with characteristic movments of the facial muscles.
plus the computer can also identify mixed emotions. the computer can also detect a painting of a face like Mona Lisa. Things like this that detect emotions can help schools parnets and friends to know whats going on with the person and so they can help. But one of the good things about it is that the things you see on the computer you like to see will have something similar to the ad or video you watch. Also the things you didnt smile at wont pop up on your screen because it didnt grab your attention. | 3 |
80bb922 | The sister planet to Earth, and occansionally the planet closest to humans in general, Venus. Most planetary scienist have all thought about what it would take to send a human up into outer space and set for on one of the roughest terrains in all of the solar system. The author of, "The Challenge of Exploring Venus", knows that though exploring the dangerous planet is astronomical to think about, more people should start learning that it's a worthy pursuit. The author thinks it's worthy, because Venus is very similar to Earth is many different ways, it's the planet closes to us, the rough conditions are just small roadblocks in the eyes of an infinite space, and he also says that if people can't make it to a planet so close to Earth there's no hope to explore any of the other planets. The author supports his idea well, because of how many alternative solutions he has to the problems he's faced with.
Firstly, he starts out with the statement that Earth and Venus are some of the two most similar planets. They're similar because of the shape and size, which line up nearly perfectly with Earth's. The density is close together, and it has similar face and structural features, like moutains and revenes. The artical states that, "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 valleys, mountains, and craters." The similarity between these two neighboring planets makes it all the more worthwhile to see when NASA finally reveals what is there.
Secondly the author says that, though the conditions are more difficult than anything they've ever experienced before, scientists are making new and improved machinery every day. So far, no shuttle has been able to stay on the planet for too long, but the sooner there's advancements made towards putting more things on Venus, the better off they will be. The newer technology tends to be more fragile with it's highly advanced computer parts, ut if the new doesn' work there's always a chance to go back to the old. Matic computers would work better in harsh conditions than a MacBook Pro, which requires charging and optimal temperatures. The article says that, "...simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos on Venus's surface and have lasted three weeks in such conditions. Another project is looking back to an old technology called mechanical computers." Bringing back or creating new ideas is the key to getting near, or on, the destructive planet without losing lives or money.
Finally, the author takes into thorough consideration that the temperatures and brutal lack of livable substance on the planet, but he realizes that it's more important that we find a way to observe and explore it. If science can't find a way to make it to Venus, the close, neighboring, sister planet, it may be impossible for them to make it to any other place in the galaxy. Rough terrain in everywhere in the solar system, and it can go from one extreme to another and scientist need to know how to navigate that.
In conclusion, the author of the passage, "the Challenge of Exploring Venus", supports his idea to do whatever it takes to explore the planet Venus well. He has many different points on what would work best, and how to do it in the most efficient way possible. From the simple similarities of Earth and Venus, to the core reason everyone should want to space travel in the first place. He supports his claims well, because of the good solutions he has to the issues that arise. | 5 |
80c0894 | Have you ever been on a boat, well, Luke bomberger has. He was a part of a program called the Seagoing Cowboys. He was a cowboy that carried cattle and farm life from one place to another after the loss of many animals after World War II.
Today, he would encourage more people to join the Seagoing Cowboys program because it is a very great thing to do and you can travel and visit many places you have never visited before.
When he was doing the job, Bomberer visited several places including, China, Europe, Greece, Italy, Crete, and Panama. Out of them all, Greece was the most special to him.
Luke knew what an amazing offer it was from the beginning and he knew he couldn't turn it down. And he would encourge you to join because if you ever thought abut joining the military they would accept you and let you serve by being a Seagoing Cowboy.
In conclusion, you should become a Seagoing Cowboy because it gives you opporunities, palces to travel to, experiencences , other jobs, and different culturers to endure and discover and make you a person who has seen and done amazing things that other people cant say they have done. | 2 |
80c09f7 | The author supports this idea by explaining the planet Venus and why Venus is a challenging planet to explore but a worthy pursuit. In the article it says ''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.'' Based on this sentence from the article I know that the author believes that studying Venus will better humans understanding of the planet and give them knowledge of its surface. According to the article the author believes that there is no limit to meeting challenges no matter the dangers and doubts. I know this because in the text it says ''Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation.''
The author says that NASA is working on other approaches for studying Venus which means they are willing to take the challenge along with the dangers that come with studying Venus. Because of this I know the author thinks studying Venus will better the future. In the text it says ''Many researchers are working on innovations that would allow or machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowledge of Venus. This means that scientists and researchers are pursuing the idea of maybe one day being able to explore Venus. Based on thst sentence from the text I know that the author believes that the challenge of exploring Venus has value.
To summarize the author believes that not only will studying Venus better our future but also that human curiosity will lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors. The author is pursuing the idea of maybe one day being able to explore Venus. I know this because in the text it says ''Therefore, scientists seeking to conduct a thorough mission to understand Venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risks.'' This means the author and scientists are willing to take the risk and dangers of exploring Venus. Because of this I know the author believes that we should strive for the best no matter the dangers, doubt or risks and that there is no limit. | 3 |
80c6855 | Wow you really think an alien made a face that good! An alien couldn't have made that face. How would an alien know what a human face looks like if an alien never been to a planet with humans?
The Face on Mars is a natural landform. The face looks like it was just naturally there if an alien created that face it might look messy and sloppy. An alien would not be able to just draw a human's face as good as an actual human could. What tools would an alien use to make the face look like the face seen on Mars? Human's themselves visited Mars and saw the face.
According to paragraph 1 sentence 2, it clearly states that
human's were on an airship and circled all the way around Mars taking pictures and spotted the face. NASA said it was "the shadowy likeness of a human face". They say "the head is about two miles from end to end". The Face on Mars became pretty popular.The Face on Mars was every where all over the world movies, books, radios, stores,and magazines.
Some other scientists also thought that an alien could have made the Face on Mars. There was only one way to figure out if the Face on Mars was a natural landform or an alien created it. Jim decided he would go to Mars and take a better picture of the face. To see wether the face was made by an alien. He proved that "there was no alien monument after all".
After all an alien did not make the Face on Mars. The Face on Mars is just a natual landform. The pictures have proven it and so has scientists. | 2 |
80c7166 | In VAUBAN, Germany, people walk from place to place without cars with no trouble. Why cant you? Street parking, driveways and home garages are most likely banned in the new district on the outskirts of Freidburg, near the french and swiss borders. This concept of limiting car usage is a great idea! Why not walk somewhere if it's close by, you will be doing everyone a favor by not polluting the earth.
Pollution is terrible, so why use your car if its hurting our precious Earth? Paris enforced a temporary ban on motor vehicles due to the near-record pollution. According to, Paris bans driving due to smog, ''On monday motorists with even-numbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a 22-euro fine ($31). Almost 4,000 drivers were fined, 27 people had their cars impounded for their reaction to the fine.'' In other words, Paris had an almost record breaking smog because of motor vehicles so they put a ban on cars for $31. I think that putting a ban on cars for less pollution is excellant. This excerpt from, In german suburb , life goes on without cars, ''Diesel fuel was blamed, since france has a tax policy that favors diesel over gasoline. 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, according to Reuters.'' This means, since diesel is favored over in france, it was blamed for causing the smog. Cars are to blame for causing pollution to our Earth, so why use cars. We must limit car usage.
BOGOTA, Columbia had the same idea, in a program thats set to spread to other countries world wide. Apparently, '' Millions of Columbians hiked, biked, skated or took buses to work during a car-free day, leaving the streets of this capital city eerily devoid of traffic jams.'' I agree that ignoring your cars to hike, bike, or skate lets you interact with more people. You also have more experiences with other things you have never tried before. according to the article, ''The day without cars is part of an improvement campaign that began in Bogota in the mid-1990s. It has seen the construction of 118 miles of bicycle paths, the most of any latin american city, according to mockus, the city's mayor.'' This states that since the 1990s, Bogota has been running a campaign to limit car usage, to help out the pollution problem, by building 118 bicycle path ways to get more and more people to use bicycles over motor-vehicles.
The day when cars are limited is the day I pray for. Why should the Earth suffer for our laziness of using a car instead of walking there. The pollution has gotten out of control and we need to put a stop to it. Please help out by limiting your car usage, for the sake of the Earth. | 3 |
80c7f25 | These days in the generation that we live in, man has came up with many ways to use technology. We have motion sensored lights, cameras, game systems, and now even cars. Former Google cofounder Sergey Brin and Google have made cars that can actually drive on they'r own. These cars can drive themselves more than half a million miles without crash, but they still need assistance from a driver once in a while when it comes to things they can't do such as reversing, dealing with accidents, or traffic issues. In my point of view this sounds really cool wont lie. Another thing is we all have to see the bigger picture.
Let me explain myself. In the good way of seeing it driverless cars would be a good affect on us for so many reasons. One is we wouldnt have to worry about reckless drivers when the cars would be programed to know speed limits and everything a human is suppose to know about driving. There would be less injuries, deaths, losses in money for repairs, and much more. We also wouldn't have to take driver tests and have licences so we could get to where we need to go. Thoes are the positive ways I look on the driverless cars idea.
Now lets look how this idea would effect us in a negative way. We all know somtimes technology can have errors such as glitches, viruses, if it is mistrested then it could damage all the way. See technology is very sensitive in my view and somtimes even dangerouse. Imagine yourself in one of these cars and say it starts to act up either your gonna be left stranded where you are or you could possibly be injured depending on what the car does. We all know technology can have a mind of its own. Also when a accident happens who ever is in the driver seat is responsible for the passangers and pedestrians and if something does happen are you gonna blame the car?
Like i said the idea is really cool I wont lie. Us as people thoe have to make the right desicions in what we choose to do. Weigh the facts and reasons and see your piont of view. Thank your for your time. | 3 |
80cbc93 | Hello, I am a scientist from NASA. I was asked about the aliens on Mars. I must say that the first picture in 1976 looks a lot like an alien, but we have gotten better technology and the newest pictures show it is just a monument. It resembles the butte or mesa landforms in the American West. They are naturally formed in nature. As my colleague said in his text they resemble eachother enormously. Also, we used the absolute maximum resolution in the latest picture we took in 2001. It was made very apparent that this was not aliens at work but again just a natural landform. The only reason that people aren't believing the truth with our technology is because these conspiracy theorists. Finally, the biggest piece of evidence that the face is a natural landform is that if NASA discovered this, we would benefit tremendously. We are not hiding this from anyone. We here at NASA would get more money, funding, and attention. We mainly would want the funding to perhaps interact with the aliens if they were there, but they are not. So that is why I, a scientist at NASA, can confirm that the picture from 1976 is just a bad picture of a natural landform. Also, I can confirm that we here at NASA aren't hiding the truth from you. If there is ever aliens we will make sure to tell you, the people, first. | 3 |
80cf29c | Natures Faces
There are many reason to why the face is just a logical thing that can happen. It could've been buttes or mesa landforms that are located in the American West. Also, there is no reason NASA would have for trying to hide something so major from the world. Lastly, if their was aliens on mars, wouldn't their be more evidence supporting the aliens instead of nothing?
Garvin from Mars Global Surveyor, talks about how it reminds him of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho as stated in paragraph 12. Anyone could go to Middle Butte in Snake River Plain of Idaho and see for themselves if they look alike. A simple way to put it is that their are so many things this "face" could've been other than aliens. Which is why most people don't believe in this "theory" because it is far from practical.
Although NASA could hide what they saw at Mars, why would they? There is no reason for NASA to keep anything they discover a secret, or try and hide anything from us. NASA wouldn't have even shared the photo if they felt that they didn't want for anyone to know, to stir up this controversy in the first place! The astronauts were most likely just as shocked as we were when they saw the image.
Lastly, there isn't enough evidence to infer that there is any type of life form on Mars. In paragraph 9 of the article "Unmasking the Face on Mars," it talks about how it isn't easy to target where the face is. If the face was a form of life there would be more, and it probably wouldn't be so hard to find. Most likely there wouldn't be one face but many.
Even with every fact in the world there are still the great questions we all have from time to time. Even with the facts we all know about. Though I think that there is no possible way there could be any existence on Earth. You could always say "what if." Which is why I hope you take my words into accountance when you think about the face on mars. | 4 |
80d54a1 | The effects of greenhouse gas emission began to take their toll on the earth's atmosphere simply by its own natural output. As time has gone on though, and humans and their ways of transportation have evolved, greenhouse gas emission is becoming more of a problem. Automobiles, mainly cars, play a huge role in the production of nasty fumes and gases that become trapped in the atmosphere. For example, in Europe passenger cars make up twelve percent of total greenhouse gas emission, and in heavily congested areas such as the United States-it can skyrocket up to fifty percent!
Some nations/countries are beginning to take a new approach to battle the "War of Greenhouse Gases". As studies have shown that national driving levels and the amount of people purchasing cars and earning their licenses are dropping after their peak in 2005, people are more and more willing to put down the car keys and put on their running shoes. One of these places in particular is the city of Vauban and is located in Germany. It is a middle-class to upper class community and its citizens can be considered pioneers of suburbia. Vauban does not permit driving in it's limits, besides the main thoroughfare, and a few side streets. Car owners buy a space for their car for $40,000 alongside a home.
While some might argue about the practicality of not driving your car if you have one, it's shown to be extremely beneficial not only for the environment, but for people as well. When you go outside, whether you're headed somewhere or just on a casual stroll, you may reach Nirvana as you enjoy the true sounds of nature. In places where cars are permitted to drive, you might hear the sound of birds chirping outside your window, or the calm rustle of leaves rustling in the wind, but the rumbles, roars, and honks of a car are not far behind. In areas such as Vauban, the beautiful sounds of the world won't be drowned out by a greasy hunk of steel.
Besides feeling at peace, a life without a car is a healthier life! Now, when you want to go somewhere, you must rely on your own two feet. Those two feet, bicycle, skateboard, etc. will be all you need to get where you're going! Unlike many places though, everything is within walking distance for convenience and to encourage you to take these steps. Notice the physical and emotional changes in yourself once in a place with no cars-you'll feel more relaxed, less rushed, and your body will thank you. | 4 |
80d9532 | The limiting of car usage law has effected a lot of people in both a positive and negative way. Although limiting car usage is an inconvinence, it has affected the enviroment in a extremly positive way. Some might not agree to the banning of car usage to a litmited amount. But I for one am completly on board with this law.
In Soure #1 "In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars" states that "Car ownership is allowed, but there are only two places to park- large garages at the edge of the development, where a car-owner buys a space, for $40,000, along with a home." This rule has influenced almost everyone to rid their cars and begin to ride bikes, skate boards, etc. I believe this rule to pay $40,000 for a garage sapce along with a home at the edge of the development is comeplaly and utterly ridiculous. But I also think this rule made made to inforce everyone to rid their cars, because unless one were to have enough money to pay the $40,000, you would have to give up your car.
In Source #2 "Paris bans driving due to smog" it speaks about Paris having a fine for 22 euros ($31) for driving as well. It states " Almost 4,000 drivers were fined according to Reuters... [Twenty-seven] people had their cars impounded for their reaction to the fine." Because the driving fine was not so expensive some people did not mind to pay the fee. This article also states "Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France, after five-days of intensifying smog... [The smog] rivaled Beijing, China, which is known as one of the most polluted cities in the world." This quote means that due to so many people driving their cars the ar was so pulluted that the people of France had no choice but to stop dring their cars.
In Source #3 "Car-free day is spining into a big hit in Bogota" it states " ' It's a good opportunity to take aways stress and lower air pollution,' said businessman Carlos Arturo Plaza as he rode a two-seat bicycle with him wife". This trend is motivating people from all over the world to rid their cars and help not only the enviroment but themselves as well. Limiting car usage has help clear the poluted air and has gotten thousands of people to realize how much money theyhave saved on gas, car repairs etc. and how much better the world would be with driving being limited. | 3 |

80e35ee | State Senator,
The Electoral College is outdated, and is commonly viewed as anachronism. In this system voters, instead of voting for a president, vote for a slate of electors. The slate of electors if chosen for the statewide election, would go to Congress. At Congress, they would then vote for the President. For many people, it seems understandably unfair.
First off, voters cannot control who their electors vote for. At this point in time, voters have no more of a say in which President is elected - they can only hope that the elected candidate shares the same views they do. Most of the times, this is the wrong case.
Second off, many times voters will get confused in who they're voting for. They'll pick out a candidate without knowing much information about them, or what their views are. A random candidate will be chosen for their vote, and most times this tends to come to an unhappy ending. Many times, voters will be disappointed and frustrated with how the election turns out.
People claim this tends to be due to the Electoral College.
It would, in terms, be much simpler to change the election to go by popular vote. This would have many benefits on the difficulty of the systems selecting a President, to how people react. By choosing a popular vote, time of the election would be cut slimmer. People wouldn't have to focus on choosing an elector, or their worries that their state electors didn't share their views. It would give our people the chance to vote for the President they want.
In the end, the Electoral College should be abolished and thrown out. It doesn't make sense to keep continuing on this way, when the votes should be up to the people - not random electors. | 4 |
80e8016 | Dear Senator; the electoral voting system should be abolished it is unfair and un-democratic electoral votes are not the votes f the people and thats all that should matter but there are countercaims that I will address. when aperson votes they do not actually vote for their candidate they vote for a group of electors for that candidate electors who may not even vote for the candidate they are sworn to. the electoral voting system is extremly unstable there are an even number of electoral voters in the united states making a tied vote a possibility which is very bad. Even though electoral votes are suposedly based on which candidates people vote for it does not at all mean that the candidate who most of the people voted for wil also be voted for by the electoral college.
The electoral voters are seperated by state and each state has its own number of electoral voters proportional to their population. because of this candidates change their campaigns to only focus on stateswith more electoral voters while this makes sense from a competitive perspective it makes it extremley unfair to states with smaller populations. This is wrong in many ways but the worst of all is that the electoral voting system encourages this kind of copetition
The electoral voting system is un-democratic the united states prides itself on being for the people and freedom but the electoral college represents the exact opposite of that. the electoral college votes not the people. the people are not voting and that is the exact opposite of what the united states supossedly stands for. Anyone who learns about the united states and sees the electoral colege will think that the united states. is not all its cracked up to be and that is not what the united states wants is it?
in conlcusion the senator you should definetly try to work toward abolishing the electoral college as it is un-democratic because it does not allow the people to have a direct say in who they are voting for. it is a very volatile voting system that could cause crashes and severities in the united states by aving tied votes and such. the electoral voting system uncourages some states to be left out by unfair competition because of the unstable way the number of electoral voters are balanced between states. And the electoral college essentially goes against everything the united states stands for and is supposed to believe in. | 4 |
80ea52e | You think that was an alien? It is a landform by one of the storms there, anything that fell there, or just the way the planet is. Ther is no such thing as an alien as we know. I believe that it was on of those three things.
First I think all of the planets that we know of has storms. The was probably a rock udder neith it. Then the red sand came on top of it to make a face. There is most likely tornadoes that are in that area as wall. Tornatoes do some pretty weird things and that could be one of them.
Next we have also sent rovers into space before to look for stuff. Maybe one of the rovers got hit and fell on mars. Then it got covered up in the sand when it crashed. That is the most likely possiblity but it could be some rocks as well. Also anything else that is on the planet as meterals of the the planet.
My lastly, I believe it could have been just the way the planets natural landform is. On earth there is a lot ofthing that are really weird that is from when we got her. That is just the way the landform is like. It will most likely stay that way in till something comes in and mess it up. I personal believe that is was the way it is because of the natural land form.
This what I think what made that face and not an alien. If you dont believe me then that is fine, but how do you it was an alien. I said that it was caused by bad whether, something that fell, or that is it natural land form. We have know proof that there is any aliens on any planet and in till there is that is not an alien at all. | 2 |
80ecb06 | Risk taking has been a huge part in our world's history. If we didn't take risks, nothing would progress and we wouldn't advance anymore as humans after the we had what we needed for survival. In fact, we might not even have what it takes to survive. Exploration will always be a large part in taking risks and it there will always be something mroe for us to explore, it's inevitable. Venus is not any different than what we have ever gone through. Are there challenges? Sure. Are there ways to go around those challenges? Always. There are so many interesting parts about Venus that we have yet to explore. Signs of natural resources can show that there could have been life and could possibly become a crutial part of Earth and its inhabitants, being the neighbor planet.
Venus is one of the closer planets to Earth along with Mercury. Though it is hard to explore due to its conditions, Venus has a lot of similar features as Earth. With valleys, mountains, and craters, Venus has increased many peoples interests with its mysterious layers and what was shown to come before space exploration. This would create a large impact on humans around the world, not just knowing by knowing that we conquered a great quest to recieve more information and useful data, but by creating an idea that no matter what comes your way, you can overcome it and go above and beyond other peoples expectations. The dangers of Venus is just an obstical over the pot of gold. Exploring Venus would change the world and just might save us if we're ever in that time of need, never say never.
On the contrary, Venus does have large setbacks that could hold us back from doing so. Like the planets surface temperature, 800 degrees fahrenheit is a lot higher than any human can handle, along with 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets that create the atmosphere for the planet. Although these conditions would be harsh, humans could survive with the correct equipment and strong motivation. Just like during any new accomplishments, you have to be patient. Nothing will come to you if you try to rush the process, but if you are patiently waiting and working hard, it could lead to a greater impact. Technological advancments will also play an unbeliveably large part it what makes this possible. Without advancements, nothing new will get created and we won't be able to reach the surface or get any closer than we have today.
In conclusion, the best way to get to know something better is to get to the surface or maybe even below the surface. You won't truly know anything more unless you create a path to. In order to create beneficial to this Earth, you have to take risks, put yourself out there and do it. It won't get done itself and if you aren't going to, then who will? Venus and its conditions is just an obsitcal leading to something great and innovative. | 4 |
80f0b1c | Humans have adapted throughout their lifetime to many things, and in this century alone we have made many technological breakthroughs that our ancestors would never have forseen.
There has always been the idea of a "future car" weither it be a flying car or a driverless car, but that idea was almost always science fiction and now it is becoming a reality.
With self-driving cars becomeing a reality I believe that we as a human race should adapt, accept, and embrace the new technology; the benefits of these new cars almost completely outweigh the negative aspects and they are almost here.
There are many benefits of a self-driving car, not only the ones stated in the article like "The cars he foresees would use half the fuel of today's taxis and offer far more flexibility than a bus."
That alone would be enough to sway people to be all for this new technology ,and the impact it would have on the environment would be an added bonus.
With only using half of the fuel of todays taxis and most likely peoples personal cars, the carbon-monoxide realeased would theoretically be reduced.
Imagine a world where people would not have to drive their cars to fill up on gas and how much it would help that person's personal income.
Probably the most important factor would be the decreased rate in accidents and death.
The article states, "Google has had cars that could drive independently under specific conditions since 2009.
Their cars have driven more than a half a million miles without a crash."
With no crashes so far, peoples' ideas that these cars are unsafe is unjustified.
Yes, maybe there will be a "glitch" or a problem that might lead into an accident ,but a "maybe" is better than thousands of people dying each year in accidents due to human error.
And in the new age of cell phones with texting and social media driving has become even more dangerous; now accidents due to texting have now surpassed the amount due to alcohol consumtion.
These new cars would theoretically eliminate this factor if manufaturers equipt the cars with technologies to fully take over the car in any situation.
There are some problems that arise with this new technology like loss of jobs for taxi drivers and delivery men, laws that prohibit these cars, the way in
which people recieve their drivers license, the monopoly that might arise, how the storage and keeping up with the cars will be handled, and the idea that an individual will need to take over the car.
The article adresses some of these factors, with manufactuors developing new ways to alert the driver,and to eliminate the need for a driver if the laws allow it.
With most states having laws that make it illegal to test these cars, it will be a long time before they let them to be used commersually.
The other factor is the loss of jobs that will happem if this technology is used, but there will be new jobs for cleaning, matenince, production, and many others for these new vehicles.
Driverless cars have the potential to be enormously helpful to our society in many ways, even will the flaws that might arise, the "good" in this situation outweighs the "bad."
With the new ideas being made these driverless cars being used everywhere could be a reality if people choose to not be afraid of this change. | 3 |
80f0ce0 | Dear Senator,
I don't think that we should keep the Electoral College because I truly believe that as the people of our country, we should have the freedom to vote for whom we think best fits the role of our president. I'll tell you why.
I have read this passage about three times in a row and I've gotten a better understanding of how the Electoral College works. I can understand an opinion that thinks the Electoral College is great and I'm sure it's a little less complicated and such but it's not quite fair to certain people in small states, etc. There are people who don't even see a point in voting now because they know that their vote will most likely not matter. As stated in
Source 3: In Defense of the Eletoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President, paragraph 23,
"
It can be argued that the Electoral College method of selecting the president may turn off potential voters for a canidate who has no hope of carrying their state--Democrats in Texas, for example, or Republicans in California. Knowing thier vote will have no effect, they have less incentive to pay attention to the campaign than they would have if the president were picked by popular vote..
"
I strongly disagree with people in our country feeling this way. We are together as a country. Everyone's votes should matter. We are all here as one. People will have less and less interest in voting and we will go nowhere. I believe that the people should fully understand the process and not only that. Understand who is about to become president. In the country that we the people live in. Know this persons values, are they worthy? Know the lengths that they will go for our people. People should not feel that because they're in a small state, their vote doesn't matter. It should not be this way. I do believe that voters in presidential elections are people who want to express a political preference rather than people who think that a single vote may decide an election but don't you think that everyone should be involved and that everyone should be informed or even have an opinion on what is about to happen? I feel that there are some people who are not fully understanding the system. As said in
Source 2: The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses are wrong, paragraph 10,
"
Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president. If you lived in Texas, for instance, and wanted to vote for [John] Kerry, you'd vote for a slate of 34 Democratic electors pledged to Kerry.
"
Do the people even know who these electors are? Who picks them anyways? I understand that it depends on the state but do they know that? I also read that voters can not always control whom their electors vote for. Also that sometimes, voters get confused about the electors and vote for the wrong canidate. This is what I mean by people not fully understanding.
This is just my opinion followed by some evidence and explanation. Maybe you could see from my point of view and anyone who has a similar one.
Sincerely, PROPER_NAME | 3 |
80f1d45 | How is life in Venus? Is it hot ? Is it cold? that is to find out. In a article an author talks about studying Venus.Which brings up facts people probably never knew about. Which people wonder, if studying about Venus worthy?. On how dangerous it can also be living on Venus. Which will figure how the author supports his idea.
One way the author can support his idea is Venus is the closest planet to earth terms of density and size.Which makes sense because it is the closest planet to Earth as of today. Also referred to Earth's twin ,even tho it's thick atmosphere is 97% covered of carbon dioxide. Venus has it's high pressure and the hottest surface temperature of any planet.Which makes it difficult to visit the planet due to the extreme conditions.
Venus may had once have been Earth-like planet in our solar system because it had eath like features. With large oceans and form of life due to the leftovers on the planet it has. But the planet still has valleys, mountains, and craters. So scientists could say that the planet was like earth many years ago. But no sort of life can no longer live on the planet as of now.
NASA has been trying to find an idea on how to send humans to Venus so they can study the planet more. Which they are trying to find the idea on how to study the planet without needing to touch the surface, but to float about the fray. But would need to find a way with the air pressure of the planet since it is relatable to the sea level.Once they do land on venus they will know way more about Venus then they already do.
In conclusion studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents is very worthy. How Venus is the only planet closest the Eath. But is also one of the most dangerous condition planets to land on. Which is obvious how the author wants us to study about Venus because is so much to know about the planet. Which can teach a student alot, just by reading an article. | 3 |
80f3404 | The "Evening Star" or the name how you know, Venus is one in the second planet form the system sun in the speace; having for neighbor a Mars and his "twin" Earth. Venus in the system sun have a diferent speed in the same tima wiht Mars and Earth, but sometimes the Earth is closed to Mars and other times to Venus.
The planet Earth have a some of things simulatary between Venus, but this not can have life, becauses this planet hava a diferents conditions between the Earth, having all the atention for the people for study the planet, "Numerous factors contribute to Venus's reputation as a challenging planet for humans to study, despite its proximity to us."
The planet Earth have an atmosphere of almost 97 porcent of carbone dioxide a diference whit Venus have a sulfuric acid atmosphere and a 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and am atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what esoerience on our own planet.
The conditions in the planet Venus is a "extrem than anything human encounter on Earth."
The temperature on Venus has a tottest surface temperature of the any panets in the system, is closed to Mercury teh sun, and in adiotion hava a lot of natural disasters and the complement perfect to go to live, right?
In this times Venus have stills and more simulatires between Earth, because the planet now has a " surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and creaters. Furthermore, recall that Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for planetry visit a curcial consideratioon given the long time frames of space travel. The value of returning to Venus..."
For all this new information about Venus, the "NASA," has the idea ofr study Venus, but the for where the NASA what ti use for study the planet is sending humans to the planet: the problen here is Venus not have a good condition for any hunan, animal or other thing alive, whit can sorvive for this condition, and if the humans go; in the fir time where stay want to satr toasty all the people and ahva a lot of problems in try to stay in the planet.
The other solution whit the NASA use for the study of the planet and don't use human is tray to take a photography and a videography, but this not worker. And the most importan in the investigation for the palnet is they not can take anithing about a sample rock or gas or something else a distanse, so for this moment the NASA don't can do anythin for study the Venus in this moments, but now is working haw can investige the planet.
In the 1940s in the time whit the Worls War II, the tecnology is played a rol of importance in this moment, and hire is well the Nasa have the idea for use that and tray to investigate, makin calculations and the computadores; but the computadores is more delicated for the fisical contidions wiht this have.
In this times the challenge for try to faound more information from the Venus and the idea fro the expedition a Venus I think this is continue in the mint form the persons in the NASA, but now not is the moment for do thas. Is the moment for use all the forms for try to keep all the informstion using the tecnology; for one day do the dream for the NASA: go to Venus and not have any problem. | 1 |
80f3e2e | The reason I, the scientist think and know that the face is just a natural landform is because, we have pictures of Mars and the "face" picture.
The first reason why my claim is true is because firstly, there is NO proof of life being on Mars of all the years it has existed and there could possibly be no life on that planet because there is NO way that there could be life on Mars, because of its condition. Mars is NOT fit for humans to live on or any other natural organism. I'm not just saying a that a human could live on the planet but, you wouldn't even last 5 seconds on Mars. In fact, Mars has volcanoes. Maybe its just a lava dome? Who knows? But what we do know is that there could possibly be no sign of any human or other organisms on planet Mars. On April 5, 1998, when the Mars Global Surveryor flew over Cydonia for the first time, Michael Malin and his Mars Oribiter Camera (MOC) team snapped a pictures ten times sharper than the original Viking photo. And justin that picture, there was no proof of any supernatural life (alien) life or human monument on Mars. | 2 |
8100b68 | This technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is not valuable, in my opinion. Why? I feel like we dont need such thing to show our emotions we know exactly how we feel why should a computer have to identify that? Maybe others dont want to show the comlete emotion they are showing. It's genius how people come up with things, but it shouldn't be nesseccary to show how I feel.
According to this article, On paragraph 6.. "A classroom cumputer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored" This is why we ask questions why we stay after school for extra circular/circulum assignments extra help period. We shouldn't have to go an extra mile to detict how I feel.
Paragraph 4 the author says "Using video imagery, the new emotion-recongtion software tracks these facial movements-- in a real face or in a painted face of Mona Lisa." Do we honestly think a computer could identify how we feel? we at times don't know how we feel we don't always know how the body works or the mind. Everything is based off conculsions, We have therapitst for such things as not knowing our emotions we have people in the world that study the brain and the body. A computer is just expensive and an unesseccary thing.
Some people dont like to express themselves and for a computer to just automatically submit to how I feel is insane! Also indentify the emotion going on in a picture... No way! That is histaricle. Technology is used for so many things but the actual things we need. Can't you trick your body into thinking you're something you are not? would the computer give me false information then?
Paragraph 9.. " Had his actors carefully reproduce smiling and frowning as a way of creating these emotions on stage."
I simply say this is unvaulable you would think taking some blood and doing tests or something would show my emotions, but a computer? I disagree, it just scans my face and automatically shows how I feel. It's a waste of time, and not a good source. I know myself more than anything, i know my emotions. | 3 |
