87e034c | "Driverless Cars Are Coming" is a passage which talks about the development of driverless cars. Driverless cars are currently in development but hope to see the roads of the world in a few years. They can change the way that everyone lives their normal lives since transportation will be evolved. Driving will be different than it has ever been before and once again society will have to learn how to use new technology. Driverless cars should be developed and made available to use by the public.
First, driverless cars can help make the roads safer and less accident prone. In the recent years accidents have become a normal event to witness in everyday life. That's why driverless cars are going to be equipped with technology that allows the driver to know when they have to take the wheel. "GM has developed driver's seats that vibrate when the vehicle is in danger of backing into an object." Another example that driver less cars will make the roads safer are they can help keep the driver focused. Accidents that happen on a daily basis are mostly caused by distrctions in or around the vehicle. Driverless cars will lower the distration rate by alerting the passenger when they need to completely focused." The google car simply announces when the driver should be prepared to take over...while the driver watches the road, the car watches the driver."
Finally, driverless cars can help aid teenage drivers and teach them how to drive safer. Accidents among teenager has become a rising problem and the number is only growing. Driverless cars still require a driver so a teen would be perfect behind the wheel because they can get a feel of how a car should be driven. When it's time for them to take the wheel they will be able to show all they have been able to learn. " Special touch sensors make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel...but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills." Another example is driverless cars will make driver easier for teens since they don't have to be so stressed about driving. Driving is one of those tasks which takes time to master and the aid of the driverless car will allow a teen to learn how to drive safer and easier.
In conclusion, driverless cars are a develpment which will soon change the way driving is completed in everyday life. Driverless cars deserve their chance to hit the road as they come with many benefits. The driverless cars will be able to make roads safer and aid teenagers in developing good driving skills. Driverless cars in one way or another should be developed and made availble to own by the public. | 4 |
87e6129 | one reason i think that the face is just natural landform is because it says that viking 1 spacecraft was circling the planet snapping photos of possible landing sites for its sister ship. viking 2, when it spotted the shadowy likeness of a human face. scientists figured it was just another martain mesa, common enought around cydonia, only this one had unusual shadows that made it look like and egyptaian pharaoh.
In the article it says that The "Face on Mars" has become a pop icon. The face icon statted in a hollywood film appeared in books, magazines, radio talk shows even haunted grocery store checkout lines for 25 years! Most people belive that face was an alien artifact, photographing cydonia became a priority for NASA when mars global surveyor (MGS)arrived in red planet sept. 1997.
The face on Mars is located at 41 degrees north martian latitude where it was winter in April. Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 viking photo. So if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or egyptian style pyramids or even small shacks you could see what they were! | 2 |
87e9e35 | INTRODUCTION
The Mona Lisa is one paint that is famous in the world, according to some new computer software can reconise emotions in people, this system is a innovation of Prof. Thomas Haung, of the Beckman and is working with Prof. Nicu Sebe, they will have help from Dr. Paul Eckman institute of Advanced Science at the University of Illinois man, creator crator of FACS.
BODY
This system has some questions that people thikn, howcan a computer recognize subtle facial movements we humans use to express how we feel? Dr. Haung said that the procces begins when the computer structs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles. Dr. Eckman has classified six basic emotions- happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness - and then assosiated each with characteristic movements of the facial muscles. "The facial expressions for each emotion are universal" observes Dr. Haung.
A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored, Dr. Haung predicts. Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor. Most human communication is nonverval, including emotional communication, notes Dr. Haung. According to the Facila Feedback Theory of Emotion, muving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions, but also help to produce them. whoever thought that making faces could reveal so much about the scien of emotions.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion i tink that this program fantastic because can know how we feal, it identify human emotions just looking our face, it is a nice system because i can know if one person that a love is sad, happy, angry, etc. i thik that this system is goin to be important in the future. | 2 |
87eb305 | There are many reasons that people should join the Seagoing Cowboys program. By joining with the others, you can help people who need it after World War ll.
Many countries were left in ruins. If you look in paragraph 2, it says that UNRRA, which is formed by 44 nations, helped these countries recover their food supplies, animals, and more. That paragraph also says that UNRRA hired "Seagoing Cowboys" to take care of the horses, young cows, and mules that were shipped overseas. It says in paragraph 5, that beside helping people, he had the side benefit of seeing Europe, China, Greece, Italy, Crete, and the Panama Canal. Not only do you get to help people, but you also are able to tour places that could be all the way around the world from where you may live.
So as you can see, there are many different benefits of being one of the Seagoing Cowboys. | 2 |
87f2c68 | I agree with the development of driverless cars. Driverless cars are going to benefit a lot of people. Driverless cars can be safe. Every year there is an upgrade in everything, also there is always new developed technology.
Driverless cars can benefit a lot of people in many ways. The people who can't drive can benefit with these cars. The "driver" can just sit and observe where the car takes them. Of course the driver can take over a situation of an accident or work zones, the car will always need some human skills, as it's states on the article. Even though these people aren't so familiar in driving they can still do it in these small situations. How? Because the car is going to have a lot of new technology, the car can explain what to do during those situations.
Driverless cars can be safe. They can be safe because its going to have a lot of technology that can warn you when you and the vehicle is in danger. The car is going to be equiped by vibrating seats when the vehicle is in danger of backing into an object. The car will also have flashing lights on the windshield and other heads-up displays. The article also states that the car is also going to have cameras watching the drivers and making sure they are focused on the road. This driverless car can be safe in many ways with the stuff equiped that helps prevents any danger.
There is always an upgrade, new technology, and new inventions every year or more. You don't think everything right now is going to stay the same? Obviously not. These past 16 years i've observed the drastic changes in everything. I can see the future cars coming, driverless cars is one of them! The article also states that we only thought these cool stuff can only be in fascinating movies, it can also be in real life. These future things are going to change the world completely.
These are my reasons why I agree with driverless cars being developed. Driverless cars are going to benefit people, the driverless cars can be safe in many ways, and also every year or more there is new developed technology or an upgrade. Things right now are not going to stay the same. New things are always made. We might not see it but our next generations will. | 4 |
8802ec4 | Somethings that I have observed is that when taking long trips by ground vehicles often times the driver will get tired of driving so they put their vehicle in cruise mode, now that is a nice aspect to the vehicle. Taking it one step further so that the vehicle can steer, accelerate, brake themsleves, and alert the driver to take over when nearby problems occur such as navigating through work zones and around accidents now that is even cooler. Like the article says the system has a warning system so that the seat vibrates or a light on the windshield flashes to warn of problems that are nearby. Now that sounds great but there should be even more safety like the article says installing a camera so that the vehicle is watching the driver while the driver watches the road. I am all for the driverless vehicle but some factors are necessary to take in terms of safety.
The vehicle may have a warning system which is great, but what if the warning system fails to warn. I get that there are complications that can occur such as the driver less system failing to work properly. When accidents do happen like this whose to blame is it the driver or the manufacturer. If say a mother has her children with her and the system fails and crashes does the driver have the ability to sue the manufacturer. Now if something like this does happen and it goes out to the public how many people are going to purchase the vehicle.
Like I said before I am for the driver less car, it sounds great, but people need to take in to consideration about safety. I have given my two cents about the driver less car it is time to make it work. | 2 |
8810463 | Driveless cars are coming isn't that great? What will the world be without drivers? Are their going to be people who will forget how to drive? Or is driving going to become an unnatural part of the human society?
The idea of having cars that drive by themselves seems wonderful. Personally I'm against that were going to have driveless cars. For example if one day the system fails, who are we going to blame.? Also whos going to be at fault, and how are the damags going to be solved or payed for. Througout time soon this will become a conterversial deal.
Secondly, are people just going to forget how to be independent and drive, or are they going to start relying on a computer to make all their decesions? As a driver myself I would'nt like a car taking me places without taking a hold of the wheel. Just imagine a driveless car will take all the enthusiasum out of driving.
Lastly, since technology is getting so advanced now in days and hackers are also coming along with the cyber world, the chances of getting kidnapped or fraud can increase. For example, lets say that a person needs to go somewhere by taxi. The taxi picks that person up and takes her to the correct destination, and when the time comes to pay she pulls out her debit card and swipes it. But instead of taking the correct amount a hacker takes all the money from her debit card. That again is fraud. Or lets say the instead of the driverless car taking her home, it drives out to an unkown part of the city and shes never seen again. Thats a perfect example of kidnapping. Therefore the security system will also have to increase.
In concluion, this technology would be great have abd a very useful tool that people can use. But it can aslo become an issue with society bringing up many issues. Especially if some people are going to try an use it for the bad. I would recommened to limit the time that would use driverless cars. | 3 |
8812078 | Luke joined the program. He decided to because his freiend offered it to him.
Also it was a once and a lifetime opportunity for him. He kenw he couldn't past up the opportunity. Luke also joined because he wanted to help people after World War ll.
Some evidence that Luke want to go to the program is? Luke want to go on the ship back and forth from the oceans. Also Luke could be drafted in the miliatry service because he turned 18. Luke said "The cattle-boat trip were an unbelievable opportunity for a small-town boy." Also it took about two weeks to cross the Atlantic Ocean from the eastern coast of the united states and a month to get to China.
The conclussion to the story is? Luke want to join the program. Some evidence that Luke said is "I'm grateful for the opportunity." Also Luke said "It made me more aware of people of there countries and their needs."
Finally Luke said that the awareness stayed with him. Which help leading his family to host a number of international students and exchange visitors for many years. | 1 |
88165e1 | Howdy there partner! I'm Luke. I'm one of the Seagoing Cowboys. The first thing is you'll be getting to see are the horses and taking care of them. It's really an adventure! Being a Seagoing Cowboys, i've done nine trips and each one of them was amazing. I went to China, Greece, Italy, Europe and many other wonderful places aroud the world. Each trip was amazing! Well here's a list of what are the advantages of being a Seagoing Cowboy.
1. The Seagoing Cowboys is a corperation that gets horses from all around the world. If you join today we could make our ship bigger to carry more horses and that would mean, new horses and new people on board!
2. When your on board you'll get to take care of the horses, play games after the horses are dropped off and see the scenic view! It's an opportunity of a lifetime! But be careful, you can slide off board! I once almost slid off board, but luckily I was careful and didn't fall into the icy, cold ocean!
3. You'll get to meet new people, you'll get to explore new lands and you'll get to help new people. Plus, if we go to Venice, you'll get to go on a gondola, like me!
Well I hope you become a Seagoing Cowboy, like me! And if you do sign up, just have fun, do your work and remember, you'll have to clean up after the horses! | 3 |
8817985 | The driverless car is not a good idea to put in motion. There could be alot of controversy over this advancement for cars. Importantly, they can put people out of jobs, can only do specific jobs and can be very costly.
There are alot of flaws in this advancement of technology. Some people think advancement in technology is always a good thing, but in some situations are not. As the technologly advances it puts more people out of jobs, replacing them. Just like the driverless driver would do to taxi drivers, chauffeurs, or etc. If the human driver is lucky they might get minium wage for contrling the car when it needs "a human driver to take over."
Furthermore, the driverless car can only do some things; they still need the assistance of a human. What is the human supposed to do while boredly waiting for their turn to take over the wheel? They supposed to remain alert at any given time, but its supposed to be an driverless car, which means it shouldn't need a human what so ever. What if the car connot get the driver's attention in time before crashing into something or somebody else's car?
Lastly, who fault is it if the driverless car does crash? The driverless car has sensors on it, but to get them check to see if they aren't faulty or replacing them may be very expensive. Putting someone's life in a techincal car could be risky and the lawsuits for a crash can have a high in range. They would cost way more than just to have a human driver do the job easily.
In conclusion, the driverless car should not be put in effect, they can people out of jobs, they can only do specific things and they can be very costly. | 3 |
881860a | The idea of having cars that can do the driving for us is something we are getting close to. The stresses and dangers of driving could be eradicated by not controling a car. At this point we are not quite there; cars are not driverless and may cause more harm than good in situation that sensors can not yet deal with. Human control is important and relaxing too much can cause problems with that. Not having to think about driving and instead just enjoying the ride is something that most desire, but the safety of these vehicals has to be taken into consideration.
Driving can be a stressful part of one's day and eliminating the need to pay such close attention and relax is what most people want. Right now, driving involves paying close attention to everything around a car and features within the car as well. All of this can be stressful and hectic and the ability to mess up and cause damage to ones own self, someone else, or to property becomes too easy. Smart cars not only get rid of the stresses of driving, but include safety features that could do better that a human. Sensors are the main factor of making these cars work and have safety features that can, "..apply brakes on individual wheels and reduce power from the engine, allowing far better response and control than a human driver could manage." At this point smart cars still involve a human element with drivers still having to take over in difficult situations. To get drivers attention many ideas have come about. Some such as the in-car entertainment system even allow for leisure and then turn off when a driver when they need to take over. All of these features sound nice, but is it really that much safer?
The cars that have been developed and even the ones proposed for the near future are not completly driverless. That means that drivers have to stay alert. There are systems to alert a driver, but if a driver is relaxed the transition could be difficult. It would not be a completly stress free ride if a driver has to think about when they will have to take over and in what difficult situation that would be in, because drivers are expected to take over in difficult situations. "Google cars aren't truly driverless; they still alert the driver to take over when pulling in and out of driveways of dealing with complicated traffic issues, such as navigating through roadwork of accidents." When learning to drive we may reach a point that what is primarily being taught is the dificult things and when the computer stops working one would just have to get off the road or drive dangorously. Or we could reach the point that teaching people how to drive stops. Once we reach the point of not needing a human driver people become completly at the mercy of a computer and we lose the ability to drive because we don't need to know how. Computers can always malfunction and then it's not even a human at fault when people die because of it. Driving teaches control, awareness, and even patience, if a computer is doing all that those life skills are not readily learned and lost to more people. These factors do not sound any better to me.
I think we should have smart cars, but with the right percautions and keeping an element of human control. Sensors giving warnings and keeping drivers alert should be enough to help with the safety concerns. Stress is reduced in this situation because a driver has the help of the sensors, but is not relient upon it either. The systems that allow entertainment are too controled by a computer and cause issues with transitioning between relaxing and paying attention to driving. Driving still has to be taught and if a computer dosen't work humans still have the knowledge to take over without extra danger.
Having humans do more of the controling, but having safety features sounds like the best thing to me. It still reduces stress because sensors are used as early warning systems and features keeping one alert. Skills that go along with driving are not lost and a driver doesn't get too relaxed. Drivers are not completely relient upon a device that could malfunction, but the help is not gone. The idea of doing nothing sounds nice, but I just don't think it is the safest option. | 4 |
8823cc2 | Turning 16 is one of the best times of your life because you get your license, your own new car and you dont have to rely on your parents to take you every where but, instead of getting a new car, why not get a brand new stylish bike? Millions and millions of people drive their car to provide them transportation to get to work, errands, school and little did they know much car usage really effects not only our planet but, ourselves too. Limiting car usage is a very effective way to eliminate stress, lower air pollution, reduce traffic, and save money to make the world a better and healthier place to live.
Two of the many advantages of limiting car usage is it eliminates stress and lowers air pollution. Being stressed is very unhealthy and a simple way to limit your stress is by limiting car usage. A media trainer named Heidrun Walter stated, "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way(Source 1)." If having a car is stressful, then ride a bike, or take a bus that still takes you from point A to B, just like a car does. Car usage is bad for our planet when it comes to air polution. "...Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe... and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States(Source 1)." Using other options besides taking a car would reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Limiting car usage is a happier life and healthier living.
Saving money and reducing traffic are other advantages of limiting car usage. Traffic is always a problem when trying to get where you need to go. "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(Source 2)." There's always so many people rushing to get to work in the morning and your car only moves a couple feet per minute from all the backed up traffic but, if there wasn't so many cars on the road, that would never be an issue. Saving money is always an advantage especially in today's economy, and all you have to do is limit your car usage. "As of April 2013, the number of miles drive per person was nearly 9 percent below the peak and equal to where the country was in January 1995(Source 4)." The reasoning behind that is because people "could not afford new cars, and and the unemployed weren't going to work anyway(Source 4)." Riding with a friend is always a way to save money and limit traffic too.
Car usage is a big problem in today's society. Eliminating stress, lowering air pollution, reducing traffic, and saving money are all advantages of limiting car usage that will lead our planet to a healthier and better living. When your parents surprise you with that pimped out bike instead of a car on your birthday, just remember all the beneficial reasons of limiting car usage and plus, you won't have to pay car insurance. | 4 |
8825d32 | The use of this technology to read students' emotional expressions is a good idea. I think this is a good idea because say a student was having a bad day at school, the computer can tell if you are having a bad day and so the teacher wouldnt ask any questions, try to make you stand infront of the class reading a book or doing a math problem on the board. This technology will help both the student and the teacher have a better and more understanding relationship.
This article "Making Mona Lisa Smile." shows many examples or evidence that support my claim like; " The facial expressions for each emotion are universal," observes Dr. Huang, "even though individuals often show varying degrees of expression" (like not smiling as broadly). Using video imagery, the new emotion-recognition software tracks these facial movements--in a real face or in the paited face of the Mona Lisa. Another example supporting my claim is " 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."
This is a great and fun way to use technology, it will help teachers modify their lessons to fit not only the schools need of teaching but the students way of learning. The students will no longer be confused about an assignment instead, they will be able to learn and grow better than if they was in a regular classroom. This is why I think we should have Facial Action Coding System in our classrooms. | 3 |
8826760 | The Seagoing Cowboys is the best thing I have ever done. You get to go to many places like China, or Greece, or maybe even Italy. These places are the best places even though they look like small countries on the map they are really huge places in person. But enough about what I did when I was a Seagoing Cowboy. I'm trying to get you to join. Sure it may be hard work but you can still have fun and visit different countires. Maybe you and your friend can both become a Seagoing Cowboy. Alot of people can join maybe a dozen people can join and the people you don't know you can become friends with them. If you become a Segoing Cowboy I bet anybody no matter the gender can be a great Seagoing Cowboy. You should join I set the new record for visiting nine different countries and I want to see if you can beat that. You might just might be able to learn to speak a different language and you can test your friends to see which language you are speaking. In plus you get to hang out with animals like horses, or cows, or mules. You also get to work for UNRRA which is a great federation. But you have to have a college degree to become a Seagoing Cowboy or you can never join. Make sure to get good grades in highschool as well that way the UNRRA knows that your right for the job. If you become a Seagoing Cowboy than you would be able to explore the world go to the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and many more. The reason I'm trying to get you to join is because their is alot of people that died in the war. You can help people in the war by becoming a Seagoing Cowboy that way you are the best person in the world and you can have a good mind and say "I helped people in the war and I'm proud." Join the Seagoing Cowboys I know it might sound like a ridicoulus name but if it helps people than be proud of being a... Seagoing Cowboy! Help other people and make good in the world. But you dont have to become a Seagoing Cowboy you can do many other jobs to help people in the war. But I'm just saying becoming a Seagoing Cowboy is the best job I've had. | 3 |
8827853 | The author suggest that we study Venus because if we study Venus alot then one day we could possibly get a probe or even humans up there on Venus. That one day we might be able to get close enough to take a sample of rock,gas or anything else. Even though there are risk,like the author states,we can get through the challenges and still get the information we need about Venus.
The text states,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 atmosphere(3).The text also states,on the planet's suface temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit. The atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet.(3)
In conclusion, if we study hard enough about venus and work around the challenges then one day we could get some answers. We can also finally get samples of rocks,gases, or other thing on venus by the help of a probe that can get close enough to the planet. We could also study more and more about the dangers of the planet to get humans on the planet to see if Venus is livable for humans. | 2 |
882db97 | The use of the Facial Action Coding System is actually very valuable to a teacher because then the teacher could change it up a little when teaching so they could either make it more simpler to understand or more amussing to the children.
If a teacher could understand the emotions that the students are going through during a lesson then the teacher has an advantage of modifying his or her way of teaching the lesson. If a student is confused about something most of the time the student won't speak up because he or she is either too shy or scared to be laughed at by not understanding something like the rest, but if you had the technology that gives you a read on the kids emotions then you could help that kid understand rather than the kid getting left behind in confusion. In that case you'll have the kids understanding a lot more due to knowing if they are confused or not. Also maybe if the kid just isn't listening because something else is going on the teacher will be able to know and possibly be able to fix the situation by talking to the student.
In conclusion, It's an amazing idea and very valuable to have that kind of technology in a classroom to understand the kids a little better. Especially for the teacher so they can change some perspectives of the students that are confused during class. | 3 |
882fdc3 | Is it easy to prove that a picture is real or fake ? Well people have thier own opionions. The key is to have information about your argument and be able to respond to a counterargument. If a photo is being climed real, but your not buying it you should have information to back you up.
This "Face on Mars" photo is real, and aliens did not make it. It is a natural landform becuase no objects that would be on earth are found in the picture." You would see because you can discern things in a digital image three times bigger than the pixel size". The photo was taken many times and NASA finally got a clear picture of it.
About the weather being impossible to shoot a picture because it was winter, thats not true but "MGS is a mapping spacecraft that normally looks straight down and scans the planet like a fax machine in narrow 2.5 km-wide strips". It wasnt easy getting a clear picture in the weather conditions. MGS had captured a good final picture with a good angle that made media go crazy.
Our facts have been proven and researched thouroughly. NASA has studied the face and has gotten good picures for everyone to see. The picture blew up and was everywhere, people were fascinated that it looked like a human face. After all the research ... the picture had not been made by aliens, it was a natural land formation. | 3 |
8831275 | Will driverless cars benifit us in the future?
I do believe that if google works on these cars to keep improving them in the near future over the next ten to twenty years they will benifit us as the years go on. In fact did you know that google has had cars drive independently under certain conditions since 2009. That's incredable, and to say that they use twice as less gas than the cars use today is even more incredable, because of the fact that the people in the United States or even in other places in the world could save on gas. They are still dangours, but they will improve over the years. We have a big future coming with selfdriving cars over the next ten to twenty years.
One of the most intresting things i read out of this whole passage was that on top of the cars that are selfdriving there is a spinning senor that creates 3-D models of the cars surroundings. That is called the Dubbed LIDAR, and it is used for detecting cars and objects that is around it to prevent crashes. That can either go one of two ways. I believe that if something happens to the computer that is running the car to keep it or make it drive indepently if something happens the car will end up wrecking or the car turns itself off. It could also have nothing happen to it and google makes a car flawless that can drive on its own. Considering we can save on gas and if these cars can drive by itself and without any glitches in the system and nothing happens who doesn't want that.
If these cars are even assisting with brakes or turns instead of taking full control that would be cool to. It could be rather dangours if these cars had full control of the vehicle. I'd prefer if a car only assisted me on turns and brakes and if it did have full control i'd want there to be a setting in the car that determines that. In these cars the computer can detect the laws and speed limit which is pretty cool if i do say so myself. Since the computer detects the laws if a law changes i'd want someone to be able to change that in the computer to keep those people in the cars safe at akk times.
Laws are always a concern for people with plan cars that aren't self driving and nobody wants to break the law unless the are 100% crazy. Imagine if someone was in a driverless car and the car just took off at speeds over 100MPH. Would the person in the car be charged for that or the company that produces the car if it was the cars or computers fault? Realistically the cops would have to investagate it, but i'd charge the company that makes the car. Before they send a car on the market do lots of test so that never happens, but if it does make sure the cops investagate what actually happened. These cars are very sketch and if something bad happens the company needs to be aware ,because anything can happen eith driverless cars.
These cars will benifit us later in the next ten to twenty years. If the manufacters sent these cars out and put them on the market who knows what will happen. The companies that are currently working on these cars need to keep working on them, and need to not send them out for sale yet. We can save on gas, but its not worth risking peoples lifes over driverless cars that are not 100% complete yet. We need to wait until we in the United States have the money or technology to finish this project. Google works hard on these veryday and week to keep improving them, and they need to relize these issues and get them solved. I also read they had people testing these cars and there was only like 1000 of them out there for testing which is how it should be so we aren't risking thousands of peoples lifes all over the world. Hopefully we can see these cars in the next ten to twenty years in the United sates and even if posiable to see them in other countries. | 5 |
8831d7a | In "The Challenge of Explorig Venus," the author does not support the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers prevalent on the planet. The author uses poor diction in supporting his idea and does not provide enough evidence for "why" but instead provides numerous examples on "how" humans would study Venus.
Firstly, the idea of rising up to the challenge to explore a wonderous planet is nice, but the actual rationale behind it unfortunately does not hold the same wonderous value. The author points out in paragraph 4, "Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth'like planet in our solar system." Astronomers curiousity of a planet that could have possibly been similar to Earth is not worth millions or billions of dollars which could be used elsewhere. Simple fascination and speculation is not an incentive to spend that type of money. Humans should perfect spacecraft that will be sent into space before shelling out millions of dollars for very little information. The answer seems to be clear. The price simply outweighs the ultimate gain of exploring Venus.
Contrary to what would support the authors claim to pursue further exploration of Venus. He includes various backdraws of exploring the planet. The article states, "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 atmosphere. On the planet's surface temperatures average over 800 degreees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet. hese conditions are far more exterme than enaything humans encounter on Earht, such an environment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and wuld liquefy many metals. Also notable, Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system, even though Mercury is closer to our sun. Beyond high pressure and heat. Venusian geology and weather present additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lighning strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface."
All of that mentioned in the paragraph are reasons why humans should not pursue further exploration of Venus. A thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide and other toxic gases, clouds of sulfuric acid, an average temperature of over 800 degrees, atmospheric pressure strong enough to crumple a submarine like a soda can, erupting volcanoes, and frequent lightning strikes. So in essence the danger alone should dissuade anyone from even attempting to visit Venus.
The author goes on after his brief reasoning to explore Venus to give an example of how one would explore the planet. He states,"NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray... a blimp like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the rolling Venusian landscape... temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 degrees Farenheit... Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans... peering from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can provide only limited insight on ground conditions because mos forms of ligh cannot penetrate the dense atmosphere, rendering standard forms of photography and videography ineffective. More importantly, researchers cannot take samples of rock, gas, or anything 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 risks." It is presented once again that exploration of Venus would not only be dangerous, but will ulltimately prove unfulfilling in terms of gathering information. The author uses words such as: 'ineffective" , "survivable" , "not easy" , and "limited." All of which refer to the study of the planet. None of his examples show some sort of positive aspect of exploring Venus.
In conclusion while the author's idea that exploring Venus will give new insight, and better our overall ability to understand space as a whole it is undeniable that exploration of the planet is simply not worth the risks, dangers, and costs presented by evidence in the article. | 6 |
883a718 | You should be a seagoing cowboy because it is an adventure because you, get to go to diffrent places.Another reason why you should be a seagoing cowboy is because you get to see diffrent people and diffrent countries.In the text it states that being a seagoing cowboy was much more than an adventure for Luke Bomberger.The text also states that the cowboys played baseball and volleyball games in the empty holds where animals had been housed. Table-tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling,and games also helped pass the time.That is why you should become a seagoing cowboy that rides the waves. The other reasons why you should be a seagoing cowboy is because you get to see new oceans.You also get to se other islands that you never seen before.Being a seagoing cowboy helps you get more aware of how other people need help to. The text states it made me more aware of people of other countries and his family to host a numbeer of international students and ,exchange visitors for many years. When you are a seagoing cowboy you get sail on a boat alote.The other reason why you should become a seagoing cowboy is because when you are a seagoing cowboy,you can make people lives better by helping them.Getting to be a seagoing cowboy helps you change it makes, you want to do better things for other people.The text states he knew it was an opportunity of a life time. | 2 |
883dcf7 | After World War II countries around the world were left in ruins. To help countries recover 44 nations banded together and created UNRRA. Also known as the United Nation Relif and Rehabilitation Administration. UNRRA hired "Seagoing Cowboys" to take care of animals shipped overseas to help those fallen nations. While some people think it is a bad idea to go over seas and be a "Seagoing Cowboy" it is a great opportunity to help other nations.
Not only do they help people the cowboys have fun aboard the ship. They don't concider it a boring job. On return ships after the animals were unloaded the cowboys played tabel tennis, fencing, boxing, reading, and whittling to name just a few. The cowboys also have a side benifit of being able to sight see. They go to Venice, Italy and can take a gondola ride. See many gothic castles, or Churches in England. See the Panama Canal. You can go see China.
As stated before helping people is an other benift. You deliver people cows, mules, horses. While the animals were most likely eaten of killed during the war you can deliver a new calf and its mom to a places were all the animals were lost. Although you might be always busy, you get to feed animals, take care of animals, and see overjoyed faces of people when you bring in mules, cows, and horses.
Even with the World War II over there is still many threats. Starvation, overcrowding, more wars, and many other threats. Although in those nations these cowboys were able to stomp out Starvation for a bit. Serve your nation in the United Nation Relif and Rehabilition Administration. While helping the UNRRA and becoming a "Seagoing cowboy is very important for your nation and other nations it is also a great opportunity for anybody to help. | 4 |
883dff5 | A claim that evalulates the pursuit of studying Venus despite the dangers "Just imagine exposing a cell phone or tablet to acid or heat capable of melting tin". also when he said "Striveing to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value,not only because of the insight to be gained on its planet its self ,but also becuase human curiosity will likely lead us into many equall intimidating endeavors". Hes knows this is a great risk but he still believes it could be done by a man and also thinks it would be worth it by acomplishing it.
An explanation of the evidence is when the text says "Our travels on Earth and beyond should nit be limted by dangers and doubts but shoukd be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation". The text also says 'If our sister planet is so inhospitable ,why are sciencetists even discussing futher vists to its surface?". The author really wants this vist to planet to go on along with alot of other sciencetists and he keeps convinceing us why this would be such a good idea and not only because the insight to be gained on its planet it self but also fir the human curiosity.
There is alot for us humans to discover mabye some will be found hopefully some will be. There has been discoveries and invintions made that people never thought could possible and these things continue to happen as time passes by thats why believe in Venus trip I think with a little hard work this is totatally possible so theres no stopping the unbelieveable. Incredable remarks contine to happen each one sometimes better then the last some are not so I conclude that the future is abone us and so are bigger and better things. | 2 |
883fcc4 | The author has great supports about why we should study the planet of Venus. He called it Earth's twin. He stated that Venus is the closest planet to be comapred to Earth. The author states that blimp-like vehicles would help with the study of Venus.
The author said Venus is Earth's twin because it's the closest planet to have the same density and size as Earth. The author states that we could use blimp-like vehicles to not get burnt or crushed because if the vehicle gets 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape everything would change. The temperature would drop from about 800 degress to 170 degress Fahrenheit. The atmospheric pressure would drop from 90 times greater than earths surface to about Earth's sea level if the vehicle were to be 30 miles or so above the surface.
All you need to know why we need to study Venus more is all here. Venus is basically Earth's twin so why not study it more. Venus is the closet planet to be compared to Earth with its size and density. Blimp-like vehicles would help with it's flight to 30 miles or so. It would help with the temperature and the atmospheric pressure. Do you have anything to debate about these facts? | 2 |
88403b0 | Studing Venus is a good idea because they is so much people have to learn about it and peope dont. You could learn and knoe so much about Venus. Its a good idea he has so much on it and it good be good stuff that no one knows about. Its is known as earths twin. They have sent many space craft all of them have only lasted a hour or so. Thats why they havent send a lot of people up there to stay. It has the hotest tempeter of any planet. They have talked about more visites to Venus. It formiler futers as earth. They want to send people to Venus to study it. THey want to have a car that well be able to just say off the ground so they can go there. They cant take samples or rock or gas that far away from it they wouyld have to be up close. They are working on other wys to be able to go up there and learn more about it. It has went up on how many people want to go up there and explore. I think the arthor suported the idea well. I think that in the next cople of years people well be able to go there an resurch and get the stuff they want from there. Like studing the rock and whatever ese they have up there. He made a lot of good statments about how we wouldnt be able to get thst close because the remputer is so hot. Even if you whernt thst close it would still be 170 degrees and that is still really hpot and can hurt someone. they would have to figure out a outfit or suit that can make it do its not so hot so they can go up there and resurch. They would have to make a rocket that could float because it the rocket touched Venus it would melt and they would die up there. But over all i think the aother made good statments about it and what would have to hapen to go up there. | 2 |
88441d4 | I think people should participate in the Seagoing Cowboys program because it's a fun and exciting program.
The text states,"The cattle-boat trips were and unbelievable opportunity for a benefiy of seeing Europe and China."
The text also states,"But seeing the Acropolis in Greece was special, he says.
So was taking a gondola ride in Venice, Italy, a city with streets of water."
Another reason to join the program is you get to learn a lot of interesting stuff.
The text states,"Luke served as a night watchman.
His job was to check on all the animals every hour."
The text also states,"But being a Seagoing Cowboy was much more than an adventure for Luke Bomberger.
It opened up the world to him.
One final reason to join the program is because if you like dangerous stuff the program is dangerous.
The text states,"Helping out on his aunt Katie's farm as a boy had prepared Luke for hard work, but not for the dangers at sea.
His job was to check on all the animals every hour.
One rainy night, after making his hourly report to the captain, he slid down a slippery ladder on his backside.
Luke's heart raced as he shot feet first toward an opening on the side of the ship.
A small strip of metal along the edge stopped his slide, keeping him from flying overboard into the dark Atlantic.
He was happy to be alive.
But he couldn't work for a couple of days because of craked ribs."
Those reasons are why you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program. | 3 |
8845fa8 | The driveless car is a great invention. I perosinally think there should me more driveless cars made through out the years of the coming of age. The car still would be drivable but it would be very dependent on the human to stll pay close attention. In the article it states " This means the human driere must remain alert and ready to take over when the sitaution requires. This necessitates the car being ready to quickly get the driver's attention whenever a problem occurs." It telling us that the car may be able to function on its own but in reality it's really a normal car with special car features. I think driveless cars can make an impact on the world in a postive way.
It's probably going to be hard trying to win the govemernt approval because there is nothing wrong with the everyday cars be drive them selves. " As a result in most states it is illegal even to test a computer-driven car I think it's a safety matter but also feel if the location was secrure it should be okay. It going to take time for the driveless cars to actually be invented but overtime I think there is light at the end of the tunnel. | 2 |
884d01c | Fellow citizens it is important that we talk about the advantages of limiting car usage. In the first story it says " there have been efforts in the past two decades to make cities denser, and better for walking ..." it also says that " passenger cars are respondible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe ... and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States." David Goldberg said, an official of Transportation for America, a fast-growing coalition of hundreds of groups in the U.S....who are promoting new communities that are less dependent on cars, " all of our development since World War II has been centered on the car, and that will have to change".
In the story "
Paris bans driving due to smog"
talks about how after days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city. It says that on Mondays 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, I think that this should happen all around the world, so the world can be a better palce to live in. Here is a fact form the stroy, " Paris typically has more smog then other European capitals . . . [Last] week Paris had a 147 micrograms of particulate matter (PM) per cubic meter compared with 114 in Brussels and 79.7 in London". The 3rd stroy was about how in Bogota, Comlombia they do a car-free day, now that should be done here in the U.S.. It says that millions of Colombians hiked, biked, skated or took buses to work during car-free day, that the streets of the captial city eerily devoid of traffic jams, and that the rain has not stopped people from participating.
The last stroy talks about how the car culture is coming to an end, but i really hope not and i think not. It is here ,in the U.S., the birthpalce of the Model T, a classic car that i love and i would hope so that a lot of more people do too; the home of Detroit, what i know is that they make cars up there; tha place where Wilson Pickett immortalized "Mustang Sally", I do not know what that is but it does sound important. It also says that " driving by young people decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009..." I mean the highest it went was 2009, we are in 2014, almost 2015, im a young person and i love to drive i think and feel like i can go as fast as light. What all four storys are saying is that cars will be gone sooner or later, i hope later, but the cars is what we need to go places. The car will enither be gone or be impovred some how, the fliying car maybe, but in till that happens, because i live in now, the car is what we have, i know that it's bad for the air, so instead of not using the car we can make it better, better for the world. | 1 |
8850e39 | The old question has finally been answered, "Was Mona Lisa happy or was she just trying to trick her audience to think that she was." Now, thanks to technology, we are able to figure out how she actually felt. With hard work and coding computers will be able to tell how people are genuinely feeling. This technology will help in schools, working environments and more, people will be able to tell if someone is feeling upset, depressed, happy, bored or content.
In relation to Mona Lisa, the article explains that she is "83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry." This shows that the computer is advanced enough to identify emotions of a woman from many centries ago. Due to the study of human anatomy the computer is able classify emotions like "happiness, suprise, anger, disgust, fear and sadness." With normal identification skills if there was a mix of them people could tell exactly how others felt. For instance if someone got 68% sadness, 22% angry and 10% fear, then people could tell that the person needed help, or was not fine like they said they were. If computers with this technology were in schools teachers would be able to tell if there student were okay. Most students say there okay but with this technology we would be able to perceive if people need help or theorpy. It could change the world by helping prevent less suidcides and self harm or peer pressure and bad decisions. Although it seems this technology could only be in sci-fi movies, the article explains that "It's all about those muscular action units. They even indicate the difference between a genuine smile and a forced one." Even so, with human persection we can not read or figure out everything from people by what they say and how they look but with the extra help from technology we can get even closer. Nick D'Alto confirms that "To an expert, faces don't lie; these muscle clues are sometimes used to spot when a smiling politican or celebrity isn't being truthful." Yes people have study this for a long time but the computer is just as capable without as much time. The computer reads peoples faces by creating a model and comparing it to the same persons face with no emotion and uses knowledge of the face muscles to determine one's emotions.
However, this technology could also do simple things within a class room like tell if a student is confused or bored or tired. In addition to this information from students schools can find what makes students want to get their education and can get them to enjoy and understand it at the same time. Nick D'Alto claims that "Dr. Huang predicts. Then it could modiy the lesson, like an effective human instructor." Accordingly, with teachers and technology working together it could improve schools for students and teachers.
With this technology it could help overall morality and acedimics within classes. It could also help human communication, and get people and computers to work together more than before. | 4 |
88628e1 | Would you ever like seeing what is out there? Luke Bomberger had a friend name Don Reist who invited Luke to a Europe cattle boat. Luke said yes, it was an opportuinty of a life and he is not giving that up. Luke was exuberant that he was going on a trip. He could not wait till the day.
Luke got to go to cool places he never been to. He got to visit Europe, China, Greece, and Italy. There is also help for countries to recover what they lost like food supplies, animals, and more. The UNRRA hires Seagoing Cowboys to take care of the horses, young cows, and mules. You also get to have fun on the boat especially after the animals get unloaded. One time it was raining and a there was a small strip of metal and he slid from keepinhg him from falling of the ship.
Being a Seagoing Cowboy was much more than an adveture, but it opened up the world. It made Luke more aware of people of other countries and their needs. This made Lukes awareness stay with him. That also lead his family to a host of international students and exchange visitors for many years. Luke was grateful for the opportunity. You should join you will have an excelent time. | 2 |
8863d36 | Google Cars: For Better or Worst?
The Google cars have started revolutionizing the way people drive in America. The development of these cars have been proven quite sastifying to the manufactuers who constructed the car, and the consumers who plan on buying them. However, everyone is not on the same page, and disagree about allowing these cars to be created. These Google Cars are beneficial to humanity because it comes from a reliable company, the advanced saftey features, it eases driving for those with disabilities.
Google, as we all know, is one of the largets search engines in the world. It is used for research, and finding about general information. They make a lot of money just their uses and the number of people who use it. Now, they wish to invest that money into building cars that drive themselves and protect the people. We should just, at least, give them a chance.
According to the portion of the article labled "Sensnig the World", the Google car have numerous advanced saftey features. In paragraph four, it says that Google modified the Prius with positon-estimating sensors on the left rear wheel, a rotating sensor on the roof, four automotive radar senors, a GPS, and an inertial motion sensor. This makes the car more safer for the driver; it could detectout-of-control skids or rollovers. The information from the sensors could make the car apply the brakes, thus preventing an accident.
Poeple with disability claims are probably the ones who can benifit from this the most. A deaf person won't be able to hear the warnig alarm that is set in the car. However, they can see the flashing lights on the windshield.
The same thing goes for a blind person but in the opposite way; he or she might not be able to see the incoming danger, but they do know where the brakes are. A blind person can be able to drive again with the car protecting him or her evry way it can.
The Google car shows great promise in the future. It has many quality features to keep one from injuring himself. People say that the car will have dilemas, but you won't know until you try, right? If Google wants to try and make a car that could benefit and change the way we drive them, I say we should let them. | 4 |
8865423 | I have just read "Unmasking the Face on Mars" and many people are convinced that the Face, found near Cydonia, is just a natural landform. However, there are also many people who believe this Face to be of extra-terresrial activity. However, NASA has gave us more facts that prove the Face to be a mountain-like landform rather than an extra-terrestrial phenomenon.
First of all, many photos taken by NASA themselves show no evidence of aliens, but natural landmasses. On April 5, 1998, NASA sent the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) over Cydonia. MIchael Malin and his team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos. Once that happened, it was revealed to the public that the Face was just a landform. This proves that the mass was indeed a landmass. Also, these pictures were taken after the original one(the one that got everyone speculatng about the origin of the landmass), which means that the new pictures are much clearer and thus more believable han the original.
Secondly, many of the theories around the Face of Mars being a definite sign of aliens, are all conspiracy theories. The fifth paragraph states," Some people think the Face is bona fide evidence of life on Mars- evidence that NASA would rather hide, say conspiracy theorists." This quote from the article proves that there are many people who make up theories that have no credibility or legs to stand on. Also, many of these claims hold no cocrete evidence but are rather based on speculation.
Finally, NASA deployed the MGS yet again on April 8, 2001- a cloudless day in Cydonia. Paragraph ten explains," We had to roll the spacecraft 25 degrees to center the Face in the field of view. Malin's team captured an extraordinary photo using the camera's absolute maxium resolution." Also, paragraph twelve states," What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or messa-landforms common around the American West." These quotes prove that the picture was the best resolution it be, and the Face was still depicted as a landmass. Also, they compare these landforms to landforms commonly found in the American West. This concludes that the Face is not of any extra-terrestrial activity, but just a misunderstanding made by conspiracy theorist.
In conclusion, based on the evidence from the article, the Face is in fact a landform of Mars. This states that there is no extra-terrestial life in our universe( as of right now). This article teaches people that you should not listen to conspiracy theories, but facts that have evidence to support it. | 4 |

88752bc | If you like to join programs and to help out with people who need help then you should consider joining Seagoing cowboy. why you should join is because seagoing cowboys have helped many countries that have been left to ruin and if you join you could have the chance to help the ruined countries who need help through disaster. Also meeting the needs of other people and seeing the needs of other countries.
UNRRA is a group of 44 nations joined together to form United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation. UNRRA has hired Seagoing cowboys to help with their program for example in 1945 World War 11 was over in Europe, and many were left to ruin. In that case UNRRA and seagoing cowboys helped by taking care of the horses, young cows, and mules that were shipped over seas. So meaning that they helped even though it was a very long project. But it is worth a try to do something new if not tried before.
Putting the idea of joining there are some benificial things of joining. For example you get to visit different places and meeting new people could be fun. By joining it could bring good oportunities like it could open up the world to some people. And it makes you aware of people of other countries and their needs not just yours. it would help people feel better knowing that you just helped animals or other people. | 2 |
88784a0 | As I admit that the concept of a driverless vehicle is interesting and sounds very cool. Although, I can not agree that a driveless car would be safe for the public in any way shape or form. What if a problem comes up, and we need to take action ourselves? Would this car be expensive to produce? Do we really need a driveless car? This concept needs to be tossed away and we need to focus on the now instead of the later.
Safety is a big concern we have in our country. how do we keep people safe? Driveless cars will only add to this concern. In paragraph 9 the author states "If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault-the driver or the manufacturer?" this statement sparks a concern for people. What if the technology fails? how will we be able to stop an accident in a car that drives it self? We need to think that if there is a mistake in the programming of the car or the production, that a person life is at stake. This is a good reason why these cars shouldn't be produced and that is for the risk that we could lose people to somehting we won't have control over.
Another safety hazard is the unthinkable accidents. Anything can happen, and when somehting occurs how will this driverless car respond? In paragrph 7, the author states that the car will alert the driver to take control if there are work zones or to move the car around an accident. Those are things we can expect to happen but what about the the things we may not expect? How will the car alert us if the unknown happens? If there was a construction mishap and a beam falls down to hit the road, the car wouldn't have enought time to alert us.
We wouldnt have the time to react to such an event quickly enough.\
When an accident happens, who will be at fault, the driver or the manufacturer? As a new way to get around comes out, we need to make laws for the driving speed limits and other things. If a driverless car came on to the scene, what would happen in a accident? who would be at blame for the accident. It's a serious question that needs to be answered. It cant be the drivers because they had no control. At the same time it can't be the one who made the car either, depending on the accident. This car isn't safe for us. How will we even decide the laws for driving if its a car that drives it's self?
The idea of a driveless car is interesting and it's futuristic. We may someday have the capablities to even construct a car that can. Even so, There is too much bad that can happen and to many questions on how will we even react to these situations. So the idea can wait and we can focus on much more important things inour society that need fixing today. | 4 |
887d39d | Why drive when you can use many other alternatives ! There are many reasons why the citizens in my town and all across the world should limit car use. Three really good reasons are, to limit pollution, to lower stress, healthier life style.
My first reason for thinking that we should limit are car usage because it is a very big cause of pollution. In the article written by Elisabeth Rosenthal she states "Passenger cars are resposible for up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States" Pollution is a very serious is that could easily be stop or reduced. Its also can be as simple as walking to your destination, car pooling, or even taking the bus. In the citie of Paris in France to help to reduce the smog and pollution they banned driving even numbered license plates from driving on one day and banned odd numbers on the next, Alternating every other day. Enough smog and pollution cleared one of the following days that the lifted the ban on odd numbered plates they were allowed to drive. These all always very easy ways to help stop pollution.
The second the reason why I thinking that we should limit our car use is if were to use them less it could lower our stress levels. The citie of Bogota, Colombia have day in which no one use a car for the whole day unless its public transportation or a taxis. One citizen claimed during car free day that "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution" Another citizen who lives in a community where the streets are completly "car-free" says "When i had a car i was always tense. I'm much happier this way,". If the citizens of the world were to cut down on the use of air polluting vechiles it could also not only less polluted place but also more calm and less stressed out people.
My final reason for agreeing with idea of limiting car usage is if we drive less we could all lead healthier lifestyles. Imagine how many calories you can burn by walking to corner store or taking a bike to your nearest walmart. The health benefits are endless. If you think about it sitting in the car barley moving to do anything you dont loose any calories at all. So why not walk, run, or jog instead.
In conclusion i think it would be best for all us to cut down the use of driving. My three reason are, to limit pollution, to lower stress, healthier life style. This would benefit not only us but to future generations of the world. | 4 |
888121b | To start off, changing to election by popular vote for the president of the United States elections would be better to prove who wants who presidents and people be happy baout who they voted for.
Would you like to have a president by popular vote or by the electoral collage choosing the preident. Im sure i would love to pick my own president. being an american is a privalage that most people in the world would die for, the land of brave and free. people come to asmerica to be able to be free. picking a president and voting is a privage. to be able to have popular vote is so that the american citizens can pick there own preisend by popular vote, not the electoral collage's vote. according to the article Al Gore, was runnoing for presidnt and got the most populare vote but not the most electoral votes. The majority of the citizens of the united states chose Al Gore as presient but the electoral collgae took that away.
Accoring to the artical bob dole annoced that the electorial collage is unfair with these word; "Its offical: the electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrational. The best arguments in favor of it are mostly assertions without much basis in reality. And the aruments against direct elections are spuriours at best. It's hard to say this, but Bob Dole was right; Abolish the electoral collage." in these words Bob dole explanes about the unfairness of the electoral collage. As stated before the electoral collage chooses the presidents not the american people.
In conclusion the electoral collage sholiuld be abolished | 3 |
8882d49 | I have to help seal the deal that the faces are just nautural land forms and not something supernatural. Even Knowing that nasa wishes there was ancient people living on mars doesnt mean there actually is. They may be very smart people but they have no proof that this was done by a type of living being. They clearly state that everything they get is only facts and off research and strictly that nothing else. These people who are doubting nasa abviously have no idea what there talking about if they think nasa is purposley lying to us. They say that these faces are very normal and common and that this one has very different shadowing to help it look like adifferent face. They have shown many other faces or land forms like this in the past, I would understand if this was the first one and maybe that would give them a litlle reason to doubt them like they did. nasa says they have seen similair things like this on our earth. That should tell you that what is going on now isnt anything different or special to us. I understand why you would think its something crazy special but its really not, nasa them selves got all happy over nothing as well until they got another look at it.
They said they thought it was something they havent seen before but it just ended up being something they really see on a ebery dat bases. Nasa also stated that the types of cameras they used would have easily made it clear to the people that this is normal. These cameras can zoom in so close that they would have been able to see if anything moved they could see it. the only thing that was oving that day was the clouds in the sky which is normal for mars. They said they look for small stacks and things moved and even pyramids but yet nothing was abnormal about this situation. These people make even less since because if it can happen here on our normla land it should be normal for a planet like mars to do it to. Mars is the most similair planet to ours. So if it happen over here why is it so breath taking that it happens over there as well. They say that they shortly live dthis little moment and it ended up being the same old stuff, this place Cyndonia is the most common place to find these landforms shapped by who knows but they can be suspicious and very norml at the same time. They said that they think taht this face would bring much attention to mars and they were absolutly right about that. It makes sence why some poeple think different. I mean everybody has they own point of view on thuings. They wil stick to it to, they will consider them selves right still after you prove them wrong. People will always have there own perspective on things no matter what. so that means that mostly everybody will have some one that disagrees with them one way or another. Since this has opened up to the world in manny different ways, it makes it a whole lot easier to make up assumptions and nad there own way of thinking when it comes to this very starge but normal situation. Poeple have even seen thingslike this on the moon and that didnt phaze a single person. Its just people these days and how they think. they will just pull your leg. | 2 |
8885181 | If you become a seagoing cowboy like me then you will never see the world the same. You travle to all these places like Greece,Venice,Crete,China and The Panama Canal. I have been to all of these places and they were beutifull. You get to try new foods and meet new people. You can wander away to explore in your free time. You can even see famous buildings and landmarks.
By helping people you will feel better about yourself. Your making the world a better place every day. Your giving people food and water. Your also helping animals. You learn how to take care of cattle and horses. You have to feed,clean,and make shure they have enough to drink. It may sound hard but its fun with all the friends your doing it with. Sometimes you have to work other jobs on the ships like being a watchman.
On the ship you have some free time. You can play games like baseball and volleyball in emptey holds were animals have been kept. You can play other games like table-tennis, fencing,and boxing. Reading,whittiling and games like checkers or chess also helped pass time.
Being a Seagoing cowboy was somthing more than an adventure for me. I got to see so many new places . Im so gratefull my friend Don Reist invited me to go to europe ono a cattle boat. I couldn't pass it up becase it was the opportunity I would never get offerd agian. I crossed the Atlantic Ocean sixteen times and the Pacific Ocean twice to help people recover from World War II. I was aware of people and ther needs. My faimly hosted international students for a number of years. I really hope you consider becoming a Seagoing Cowboy after reading this. | 4 |
888b77e | A car that you do not have to drive. It sounds pretty cool right? There are many aspects on why driverless cars are good, but on the contrast side, many driverless cars are not that appealing, not to mention that they would be highly expensive. Driverless cars can cause accidents, are not truly "driverless', and are not legal in numerous states.
Driverless cars, even though they sound interesting, are in fact not that ethical. When you think of a driverless car you may think that they are safer, when in fact they are not. According to the article, they still have many kinks to work out, and big problems with liability.Cars that are driverless can cause as many accidents as a normal car can. If you were to get into an accident wtih a car that is driverless, and it was the techonolgys fault, who is to blame?
When you think of the word "Driverless car" you would think that the automobile itself would be completely hands free, when in fact it is not. The article states that the driverless car can not do what a human can do. Such as go through heavy traffic, or going through work zones and around accidents. In fact, the article also states, that none of the cars developed so far are completely driverless. The driverless cars are not in fact driverless yet.
If car manufaturer was to think of a way to build a driverless car with all of the features it takes to make it a driverless car, he wouldnt be able to unless he lived in one of the following four states in the U.S. In the Unites States, according to the article, only have four states that allow you to test and make driverless cars. These states are: California, Nevada, Florida, and District of Columbia.
With limited states that allow you to test drive these types of automobiles, how do we know that they are truly safe?
On the contrast side the driverless car is a good saftey feature. It drives itself, but alerts the human when an action they can not do arises. Since these cars have this feature, they can alert the driver when they really need to pay attention. When you are driving the driverless car you always have to have your hands on the wheel or else it alerts you, which is a good saftey feature.
Driverless cars have many keen features, and soon this will be the car everyone wants to buy in the future. But with all the saftey features only the higher class members would be able to afford it. Also, cars that are driverless could pose a threat to the newer generation by letting them slack off, and let the car drive itself. When in reality you are supposed to be driving the car. The question is, would you allow your teen to drive this car, even though the technology is not promised to work? | 4 |
888c2f1 | The production of "driverless" has it's ups and downs. People making driverless cars is something pretty intresting.
People will not need to me in the road for hours at a time concentrated on the road worrying about the cars in front of you and behind you. I think that driverless cars are something that would be an intresting invention if it was prefected but right now it's not something people should pay a couple thousand more for. It is unecessary for the production of driverless cars.
People who have money will be buying these cars, not the ones who make forty or fifty thousand dollars a year. If they want to make this car they should make it available to all classes not just the upper-class. When I hear the word "diverless" I think of a car where you don't need a driver at the wheel. With driverless cars you still have to have
the driver concentrated on the road. Companys like Google, and BMW are trying to invest in something like that. The reason they do that is because they see the future they see what it would be like if they were the ones to make a truly driverless car. There is too many laws and regulations that are going to prevent these companys from making and selling a car where it doesn't actually need a person to be infront of the steering wheel. If someone got involved in a car crash who would be paying the bills if the car was driving itself? Or how much more would you have to pay your insurance for driving a car like that? These are all questons your would have to ask yourself if you are considering to buy a car like this. In the text is states that "if the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault
the driver or the manufacturer?"
Car companys are just bringing these little unecessary problems to themselves. The text says "Tesla has projected a 2016 release for
a car capable of driving on autopilot 90 precent of the time. Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Nissan Plan to have cars that can drive themselves by 2020." I believe that if these car companys really invest into devloping a car that is truly driverlsess it would be something that would be worth paying a couple thousand more for.
I think that driverless cars would be something great. It would be something great if a car can truly drive you anywhere. What I want when I hear driverless I want a car that can take me on a roadtrip that all i would have was be in the drivers seat. The concept of a driverlsess car would be something that would open new doors to different things, but there are too many things that would have to change. Laws in most states don't premit these kind of cars. I think it will be a couple more years until people can go buy a car that can drive it's self. There are just too many things that people, insurance companys, car companys and governments would have to change. Theres somethng that people need to ask themselves. Is our society ready for a major change like this? | 4 |
888d8f7 | Venus a. k. a the Evening Star is one of the brightes planets when you look into the night sky. however it sometimes is accidently named wrong and Venus is simply easy to spot from earth but is more safe away from earth. It's sometimes often refered to as earth's "twin" because its the closes't planet to earth. some missions were unmanned because most of the spacecrafts never survived the landing for more nan a fiew hours the issue probably eplaines why not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus for more than 3 decades numerous factors contribute to venus's reputation as a challenging planet for humans to study, despite its proximity to us. even though we are trying to get to Venus and make sure the spacecraft landed and survived it. it's gonna take a long time to get the suplies for that. astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth- like planet in the solar system. Long befor it Venus was probably covered largely with Oceans and clould have supported various forms of life just like earth. today Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on earth. | 1 |
888ed54 | People use cars everyday, but limiting car usage can be very beneficial. There are many advantages when limiting car usage. Limiting car usage can clear smog, reduce traffic, and it make people less stressed. Many people use cars, but that number has decreased over the last few years. There are many other ways to get to a place rather than using cars. We are now open to many options of transportation. Cars can be used, but there should be limits.
Limiting car usage can clear pollution, particularly smog. For example,"Automobiles are the linchpin of suburbs, where middle-class families from Chicago to Shanghai tend to make their homes. And that, experts say, is a huge impediment to current efforts to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions rom tailpipes"(Rosenthal). Cars are an impediment to the efforts of trying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. With the limiting of car usage, those greenhouse gas emissions can surely decrease a lot. It will make the air healthier for people to live, and for future generations. Smog and greenhouse gas emissions can reduce greatly if cars have limited usage.
Not using cars can make people happy,less stressed out, and relieved of tension. People don't have to worry about their cars, and paying for gas and other things when they don't use their cars. For instance,"When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way"(Rosenthal). A woman is saying he is happier when he doesn't use his car. Another example is "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution"(Selsky). Both of those claims are very true. It does take away stress for him, while it reduces pollution. That's a win-win. With less stress and tension, people will be happier in their lives and there might be less problems in society. Limiting car usage can have really great impacts on people's happiness.
Reducing the usage of cars can also reduce traffic, making it easier for other people that use cars. In France,"Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital"(Duffer). 60 percent is a big amount of traffic. I'm pretty sure that that would satisfy alot of people. No traffic means less accidents, and less people worried about being late to school or work. Only a crazy person would actually want to be in traffic. There would also be less noise of cars, and more peaceful sounds . Limiting the usage of cars can guarantee the satisfaction of people that normally go through traffic, and those who don't like it.
There are many reasons to limit the usage of cars because there are so many advantages. People will be less stressed and more happy, there will be less traffic, and the air will be less polluted with smog and greenhouse gas emissions. The possibilites are endless. It is very simple; less cars, more benefits. People need to realize that having cars may have some benefits when trying to get somewhere, but it makes more sense not to because there are so many advantages. Limited car usage can benefit people in many ways. | 5 |
8891aa7 | Humankind has always been fascinated with the concept of cars. Motorized vehicles that effortlessly take you from one area to another when compared to more traditional methods such as walking. Everyone wanted a car for themselves to become a part of the innovation. But as time has passed, we now realized that it was naive of us to think cars were going to revolutionize transport, as some of the more simpler ways of transport (bike riding, bus) outshined car ownership in practicality and efficiency.
Now more than ever, alternative transportation methods are being promoted heavily in order to reduce the amount of pollution in the atmosphere. A shining example of this is in Paris, France ("Paris bans driving due to smog", source two), where the goverment took the initiative to limit the usage of vehicles to reduce the amount of smog in the city.
Paris, one of the most idolized cities in the world, was at a point where the density of smog and pollutants in the air rivaled Beijing, China, one of the most polluted cities in the world. However, after the driving ban in Paris, the city saw a drastic reduction in the amount of pollutants in the air, as it dropped down from 147 micrograms of particulate matter/cubic meter. Not only that, but Paris also saw an inprovement in car traffic, dropping down to 40 percent of what it originally was five days after the ban.
With all this in mind, how does this benefit the population without looking at the pollution reduction? This can also benefit us physically and psychologically. In Bogota, Colombia, a generally congested city, filled with traffic jams and other problems; Mayor Antanas Mockus promoted alternative transportation in the "Day Without Cars event"(Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota, source 3). In an effort to encourage public transportation in the city of 7 million inhabitants, Mockus promoted an event in which the only form of motorized transportation available was taxi cabs and bus rides. This mean that the people took the opportunity to bike, walk, hike from one point to another. Subsequently, this also indirectly promoted physical fitness and a stress release for people wanting to take the chance to enjoy their day. As Carlos Plaza evidently states that it is a great way to take away stress, while on a bike ride with his wife. Colombia has also opened up new bike path, parks, and sports centers, which is all the more proof that this initiative is promoting physical fitness and psychological wellness.
One could argue that this revolution of alternative transportation could have negative consequences on car industries and other businesses that rely on personal vehicle, and they wouldn't be wrong. But this phenomenon doesn't necessarily have to hurt anyone, as these same industries can promote their time and resources on projects that also promote alternative transportation. Just as well, in recent years, the amount of people getting driver's licenses and relying on personal vehicles has seen a significant decline, such as the amount of young prople driving decreaed 23 percent from 2001 to 2009, or when a study showed the amount of miles driven by the average American peaked in 2005 and steadily declined since then (The End of Car Culture, Source 4). People started to see the efficiency of alternative transportation, and capitalized on the opportunity to make transportation more accessible to everyone. Whether its from the expanding biclycle paths in New York City, to the Bay Area Rapid Transport in San Francisco, these are just a few examples of the steadily growing list of cities promoting more accessible transportation.
So with all of this in mind, there is irrefutable evidence that the more simpler methods of alternative transportation to limit vehicular usage is more efficient and practical. As seen in Paris where the city saw a significant drop in the amount of smog the city contained. Or when Bogota where an event that banned vehicular usage promoted physical and psychological wellness. People opting for alternative transportation is the global phenomenon that benefits us in more ways than we can imagine. There''s no doubt that the older, more traditional methods of transportation out perform personal vehicles in efficiency. | 5 |
8893ad1 | Venus is the second planet from our sun,he is the closet planet to earth. Venus is simple to see from the distant but safe vantage point of earth.
Venus has erupting volcanoes,powerful earthquakes,and frequend lightning strikes to probes seeking to land on it surface beyond high pressure and heat. but even if the planet is so inhospitable,scientist discussing further visits to its surface because venus still has some features that are analogous to those on eath. The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar feature such as valleys,mountains,and craters that allow us to say He can sometimes is are new option for a planetary visit.
If you visit this planet one day,solar power would be plentiful and radiation would not exceed earth level. The temperature would still be toasty at around 170 degees fahrenheits,the air pressure would be close to a sea level on earth. It not a easy conditions but scientist tink it's would be survivable for humans. Many researcher are working on innovation that will allow our to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowlwdge of venus. So if we know well the working of this planet it would be more easy to visit.
Nasa is working on other approach like simplified elctronics to studying venus like system that use echanical part can be more resistant to pressure,heat and other forces.
Our human curiosity will likely lead us to many endeavors success. Our travel on earth should not be a limited experiance but should be a experiences of disccovery,imagination and innovation of new things and may be one day that will allow us to visit other dangerous planets. | 2 |
8893b2c | The years seem to by flying by, people seem to be growing smarter, and technology seems to be improving rather well. Smart products are becoming more and more popular in some countries, and students in school are using technology often. Psychologists all over the world are studying why students and young adults need a program to help others understand their emotions. Systems like the Facial Action Coding System is showing people why emotions are important in peoples' everyday lives, especially in schools. Helping the students around the world is important, and the facial coding on computers can detect when a student is bored, confused, or worried.
When a student is falling bored in class, it can be hard to tell what is going on. They may not be paying attention and the teacher may not even know what the problem is. The Facial Action Coding System will come in handy; computers will be able to easily detect when a student is falling out of focus. Helping out students pay attention is important to their education, and the facial coding is high programmed algorithms to detect the facial muscles on a student. This program is accurate and quick to decide what the student is feeling in class. The passage, "Making Mona Lisa Smile," mentions when a student is falling bored, the program that recognizes the students face can update to show information that interests the child.
Aside from students falling bored in school, The Facial Action Coding System can come in handy for recognizing students becoming confused also. There are different facial muscles used for confusion, worry, surprise, and happy, so the coding system can help students who become easily confused. Dr. Huang and his colleague Nicu Sebe are working to help computers and humans to communicate, without the confusion. The computer system can update its information to help the students by constructing a 3-D scan of the face, becuase it can be confusing trying to figure out what the student is confused about. This system can then modify its lesson to help the student become less confused, like said in, "Making Mona Lisa Smile."
When talking about emotions, worry and surprise go hand in hand. Worry is easily detected by the Facial Action Coding System that Dr. Paul Eckman created. A person's frontalis pars laterlis muscle is above the eyes and falls the category of worry and surprise. When a student appears to be worried, or shocked over a subject, the computer program can adjust and help the teacher figure out what the student is struggling with. A program that does not help a student can be detrimental, that is why the Facial Action Coding System will come in handy to easily detect the students' feelings.
The idea behind the Facial Action Coding System is that a computer scan of a person's face will be used to decide the person's emotion. When someone is angry, their orbicularis oris tightens around the mouth. This muscle will be detected on the Facial Action Coding System, as all the 44 major muscles will be modeled on the program. It is helpful to know when someone is angry or feeling down, and this system is extremely helpful for students. | 5 |
8893ec6 | Peple think that the only way of transportation is by car, well that isn't true. There are many ways in which you can go from A to B without a car. The people have gotten to depenent on cars and it just can't be that way because the gas used to power the cars are whats causing so much pollution and we need to stop that.
For places like china that has the most population in the world since a lot of poeple use cars over there, it made china the most polluted country in the world, which is never good pollution can cause serious problem that we the people do not want. All people have to do drive less and walk more or just drive less you don't even need to walk, but the less we drive the less polluted our world can be the better it is. People in Europe who live in Vauban, Germany which is a suburbed area, most of the people there dont use cars; 70 percent of the families that live in Vauban do not use cars and 57 percent of the 70 should there cars to move there. A population of 5,500 people, more than half of them dont use cars; now that sounds crazy but it works the area is less polluted and that life style is being adopted around the world in attempts to see if we the people can be less dependent on our cars and use them less.
Places like paris have banned driving because of to much smog in the air, and people who cantinued to drive got fined for 22-euros ($31) and more than 4,000 drivers got fined and there cars impounded for their reaction to the fine. Also in places like Bogota, Colombia they have a day were people are not allowed to use there cars besides buses and taxis and violaters were to face a $25 fine. That helped promote alternative transportation and reduce smog. Other columbian cities have also adpoted this no car free day and are using it to also help with smog.
People do not need to stop driving all around but we need to start driving less to prevent smog and pollution, the less we drive the less polluted our world is, and it takes everyone to do that. In the United states there is a study were every year less people are driving and getting there liscens and that right there is a start. We the people must realize that we can not depened on car to much there are many alternitive ways of transportation we just need to learn to use those ways instead of cars. | 3 |
889d496 | The Electoral colleg is a process in which the electors from the state pick the cannidate they want according to who has the popular vote. Which can also be a very biased process. The Electoral College is not registered or monitered enough because if an elector from the state wanted to pick who they want to win they could and there isn't really anything to stop them from doing so.
We the people should do away with the Electoral College and instead switch to a more regulated system like majority voting. whichever cannidate that gets the most votes from the U.S. takes the win. that way we wouldnt have to worry about our electors for the states being sneaky because there wont be any electors. State legislature is responsible for picking the electors and the electors sometimes defy the will of the people and cast the vote for who they want to win just like when Richard Nixon only validated his opponets electors in 1960. The Electoral College would be a more just way of voting if the electors were well monitored and if every state shared the same weight in the vote but unfortunatley, it's not like that so it needs to be done away with.
The Electoral College is a unrestricted and very poorly regulated process, and it is a very unfair process. Because of the winner-take-all system. In 1968, if 41,971 voters voted a diffrent way the election would have been deadlocked. In 1976, if roughkly 5,500 voters in Ohio and about 3,600 voters in Hawaii had voted for a diffrent person the election would have been a tie. And usually the bigger states are the only ones to actually see their cannidates because the cannidates dont neccesarily visit states with very few electoral votes because they wont help them as much instead, they visit the "swing states", the states that have a bigger weight in the presidential election.
However, on the other side the people that want to keep it are the ones that look at the few good things not the bad things. Of those helpful things that comes with the electoral college is it majorly decreases the chance of a run-off election in which no cannidate receives a majority of the votes cast. The Electoral college also puts out a certainty of outcome because there is less likely to be a dispute over the outcome in a popular vote then a dispute over an Electoral College vote.
Of course, in life there is always at least some good in things like the Electoral College but in this situation is does more harm then good. It is an overall unfair process because some states are less noticed because of how few electoral votes they hold and also because of the electors not being monitered on the vote they cast for their state. The Electoral College should be doen away with and as a united country we shall adopt a more fair, equal , and all together well monitered system of voting. | 4 |
889d909 | Reducing the Usage of Cars
Thousands of Americans use their own car or a vehichle as their main transportation in their every day lives. No one seems to look at how cars are actually destroying the environment ,rather then helping it. Mainly since the fuel that is given off from a vehicles engine is effecting the environment in a negative way. In all reality the reason why we as humans use our own vehicles is because its a faster way of transportation and carries us to our destination. This is why limiting car useage will be benificial money wise and create a healthier environment.
Reducing the car usage is beneficial to creating a cleaner and safer environment. Not only will this effect the environment but your life as well. According to source 1 it states," Passengers cars are responsible for twelve percent of greenhouse gas emmision in Europe." Based on this fact I can acknowledge the fact of how automobiles can effect the greenhouse. The greenhouse is a cycle in which can have a huge impact on our environment. If we destroy that then that may result in even more damages that are caused now. It also states, "Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France , after five- days of intesifying smog..." In result, the smog then continued to places such as Bejing, China. Which I personally would consider to be a horrfic thing, considering China is very congested already and is one of the most pollued cities in the world. Some may argue of the fact that car usage is their main way from going to point A to point B , but there is proof that is effecting the cities around us. Experts have concluded that there is about 50 percent car intensive areas located in the United States. This is why car usage should be reduced to have create a better environment.
The suburbs are taking action to create denser cities. The purpose of having denser citiies is to have a low- suburban life. In source 1 it states, " In this new approach , stores are placed a walk away, on main street, rather than in malls along some distant highways." This experiment will help to encourage more ways to attempt public transportation. For instance, riding your bicycle once in a blue moon. Not only are you saving money but you are preventing less traffic fgrom occuring in your area. Some may argue having a low- suburban life can be hard to adapt to but it will provide a safer environment. Especially since you are one step closer to making the world less polluted then it already is. I personally would agree on occasionally using a different way to get to my destination. It will not only benefit me in the long run but also cause less chaos on the road. It also states in the text," the Environmental Protection Agency is promoting car "reduced communties", and legislators are starting to act, if cautiously." This means that the Environmental Agency are starting to promote reducing car in certain communities. Some may argue why is there a need to reduce the amount of cars in a community ,but on the other hand that community may be over populated or congested of cars. If this is so, then this will just have another negative impact of the environment. The purpose of the program is to benefit the area you are and to lessen then the issue of car usages. All in all, the suburbs are taking action to create denser cities.
Programs are also being created to spread the news of Car- Free day. The purpose for Care - Free day in Bogota , Columbia is a day you participate in to prevent traffic jams. For example, In source 3 it states, "..millions of Colombians hiked, biked, and skated or took buses to work during a car- free day." This day isn't ment for people who live in Bogota, Colombia but they are trying to influence this tradition in several other countires. Other may agree of this day being pointless , but I can see this having a huge impact on the world . Sooner or later this day will become a tradition not only in several other countries but also in the United States. it also states in source 3," Its a good oppurtunity to take away stress and lower air pulltion, said a bussniessman." Especially since it rained on the Car- free day this didnt stop nor discourage anyone from participating in the event. The event turned out to be a huge success and reduced the amount of smog that day. In my perspective we are all come together as one to build our community together. It takes more thenone person to have such a huge impact on the world. The goal if to lessen the useage of car to have a positive effect on the environment. The influence of the Car- free day is just one step closer to reaching that goal. This will is why programs are being creates to spread the news of Car - free day.
After looking of the causes and effects of limiting car usage , it all comes down to having a big influence on the world. It takes one area such as Bogota, Columbia to have a huge impact. In our every day lives , our car is our main resource for transportation, but this should change. Not only are you capable of helping to have a postive effect on the environment but so am I. This just shows how if we are all willing to come together as a community, we are capable of creating a healthier environment. This is why the world should influence limiting car useage. | 4 |
889ff89 | dear who ever this may concern, i foundly belive that we should be able to keep the Electoral Collage because it has haelped this far with fairness and making sure that all the votes have been counted at least twice.
But i also see that from where you stand the Electral Collage may be just a waste of money and in some peoples eyes it is. but that doesnt mean that in alls it is. from where is see it if it helps us why not keep it even if it doesnt always pan out as planed we all have our problems but that doesnt mean that the government shuts us down it just means that the only reason we have those isssues are because not everything will go according to plan.
it also doesnt mean let it get outta hand then try to real it in as soon as possible the only way this would work is if we had some one who didnt care who won eaither way so long as eveything is fair and not messed with. so what im trying to get at is that we dont always get our way but that doesnt mean we need to shut down the Electoral Collage. According to the 23 amendment the district of columbia is allocated 3 electors and treated like a state for puposes of Electoral Collage. also Richard nixion and Jimmy Carter Bob Dole have agreed on the electoral collage and there not alone.
thank you for your time,

88a0020 | In the story "A Cowboy Who Rode Waves", Luke likes the program at first and at the end he loves it. When he got there he rode a boat. He liked that. He liked urope a lot. But then he saw some people riding waves and thought that it would be fun. So he wondered if he could do it. he really wanted to but he didnt know if he could. So he tried it and he fell off a couple times but kept trying. And then finally he did it. He enjoyed it and definetally wanted to do it again. His freind also liked it. Luke also got to see a bunch of really cool animals not just him his freind did to. But some people didnt like the trip. Luke didnt know why. because it was amazing it was a life time excpiorience. But people complained. And didnt think it was fun or cool to surf or to see cool animals. But luke said that was there opinion i had a great time. I loved it all said Luke. If luke had a nother chance to go back he would. And do it all over again. | 1 |
88a1205 | The Facial Action Coding System is a very useful tool used to help tell what other peoples emotions are just by their facial expresions. Having this technology can be very helpful in the classrom. It can help define the mixed emotions of a student, how they feel of a topic they are learning, and if a student is telling the truth.
The first reason as to why this technology is useful in the classroom is defineing the mixed emotions of students. In the artical it says "The software can even identify mixed emotions" (paragraph 4). Being able to identify mixed emotions of a student can be helpful. Sometimes a student may be stressed and upset over something, making it hard for them to concentrate on their work. You can't just let them not work though, but knowing their feelings you may be able to take it more slow paced for them that day. The student may have felt angry and stressed before they came into class, explaining why they got so upset when they couldn't find their homework.
Another reason this would be useful in class is by defining how they feel about a topic in class. In this article it says "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored... Then it could modify the lesson" (paragraph 6). Having this tool say when they are confused is extraemly helpful. It lets the teacher know they may need some extra help, and the computer know to explain things in a different way. When a student becoms bored of what they are doing it becomes hard for them to concentrate, or causes them to want to rush through.
The final reason Facial Action Coding Systems should be in classrooms is because it can help tell when a student is lying. In paragraph 8 of the article it says "Muscle clues are sometimes used to spot when a 'smiling' politcian or celebrity isn't being truthful." This can help a teacher know when an anxious student needs help, but says they don't. Some students may be too anxious to actually speak up when they need help, causing them to lie when a teacher ask them if they do. This also comes in handy when a student has done something and no one knows who it was, like tearing down a poster or putting a tac on the teachers seat.
In conclusion, this technology would be very useful for classrooms to define a students emotions to improve work, help a confused or bored student, and spot out lairs. | 5 |
88a671e | Hi, I am luke and I really recomend that you join the Seagoing Cowboys program. This program can be hard work at some time,so be ready for that. There are also many benifits to this trip. I myself had a very exciting and memerable journey, and if you decide to join you will have one too.
If you join the Seagoing Cowboys program you get to see tons of new places. I got to see places like Europe and China. I also met and created a bond with new people, While I was there I saw new cultures. This program allowed me to be aware of other countries and there needs by not hearing about them, but actually witnessing it. I also had some fun on board with the other members of the Seagoing Cowboys club. We played games like fencing, boxing, and even table tennis.
Now if I told you that the Seagoing Cowboys program was all fun and games, I would be lying. There is a lot of work to do. One time I fell down a slippery ladder. I didn't die,(because if I did I couldn't have wrote this.)but I did get hurt badly and I cracked my ribs. There are many responsibilities while on board. I had to work with animals. I had to load and unload them off the ship. Also on my second trip I was the night watchman, and my job was to check on the animals every hour.
Even though there is is work to be done the Seagoing Cowboys program was a great opritunity for me, and it could also be a great opritunity for you.Helping out at my aunt Katie's farm prepared me, and maybe you have some preperation too.This trip taught me more than i could have ever learned at home.The Seagoing Cowboys program really opened my eyes.I hope I go again,and I hope I see you there. | 3 |
88a7b3e | The seagoing cowboys is a program that helps animals at sea be healthy and cared for. I will give you some reasons why you should join the program.
I think this is a good idea because animals that arent taken care of well might get sick and mabey even die. Another reason why you should join the program is because they take care of horses, young cows , and mules that are being shiped to europe because world war two was happening and many countries need needed supplies. The seagoing cowboys also took care of 335 horses while there was another war was happening Luke said "we arrived Agust 1945", "the day the pacific war ended".
The seagoing cowboys is a good way to keep animals safe on boats, even if it is hard work and it takes weeks and months to reach your destination so be ready. If you plan on joining the program be sure to pack right and if things get tough rember it is for a good cause and that cause is to keep animals safe at sea, and it just might be an adventure of an life time. | 2 |
88a9a8d | The Facial Action Coding System is a new form of technology that enables computers to identify human emotions. Will the use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable? No. " FACS" will not be valuable to read the emotional expressions of students. A theory and technology such as emotions and the emotional state of someone should be based off of science instead of being based off opinion. Take a minute and compare this new piece of technology to a quiz given on the internet to see what celebrity I would be. Moral of the story if the person can fake it, they can make it. Someone can make believable facial expressions all day does not mean they are happy, sad, or any other emotion based on what they look like. A student may come in looking grumpy does not mean they are grumpy, maybe just maybe have you ever thought. " WOW, that just might be their natural facial expression." To end with, unless this technology is enhanced and backed up with science instead of opinion I do not think it will be very dependable in determing the emotional expressions of students. | 2 |
88ab8d9 | Do you ever wonder how many soomething is or how much something weights? In this essay the author compares more than one thing to one another.
The author supports the idea of "The Challenging of Exploring Venus" by comparing "Earth as Venus twin and that it is the closest planet to earth in terms of density and size,and occasionally the closet in distance too" which means that Earth is the closet planet to Venus than any other planet in the world. Another way the author supports his text is by saying that "Earth,Venus,and Mars,our other planety neighbor,orbit the sun at different speeds" what that means is that all those other planets are the ones neighboring to it and that they have many different speeds and are many different sizes throughout the whole planet while it orbits. The third way the author supports his information in the text is by how he compares all the other planets to one another not just one planet to the next. Last supporting text the author supports in this is that "A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus" what the author is trying to say is that one big thickness of the atmosphere is almost basically covered 97 percent with a carbon dioxide blanket. In conclusion the author compares all these planets to one another.
In the second paragrah the author loves to use many different techniques to describe the story to people who are reading it. Another thing the author does in the story is tell how much Earth,Venus,Mars weigh throughout the whole story. Another way the author supports his evidence in the story is by telling us were they are located at.
In conclusion,the author supports his text very well by comparing the other planets to each other not just to one another. Also the author likes to use numbers to show how much of the percent got covered or how many times something happened during the times throughout the whole thing something got done in or covered. | 2 |
88b0a4f | In the article " Making mona lisa smile" the author describes how a new tecnology called Facial Action Coding System enables computers to identify human emotions. The real question is does this have a value in the set of a classroom? If you think about what this would do for the rest of the world it is great but would it be good in school classroom? In the school teachers know if you are confused or mad they see you expresion on your face. Teachers are in the classroom to help you understand and learn what is being teached to you.
One of the many reasons why the facial acting coding systeam technology is not a valueable in a classroom is because it does not help when you are given an assignment on paper and a book and if you are confused you ask a teacher to help you a technology will not help you solve the confusen it will just tell you are confused. Another reson is it is very unuseful to what you do during school hours because you work durning school hours that does not help the work ethic you put into your education. Lastly it does not help you graduate if you use a facial action coding systeam it justa systeam that you can have fun with and know how you are feeling.
The Facial Action Coding System is a usless system that does not help you growth in learning in school. You do not need it to graduate to the next grade. Also it does not help you to use it if you have a question on an assignment , homework or test that is what a teacher is for to help you solve your questions.
The Facial Action Coding System just scans your face and tells you if you are happy, sad, mad, scared or any other word to desrible your express. This system is a usless system and should not be in a classroom. | 3 |
88b0f97 | I got to do many things when I joined the Seagoing Cowboys program. I didn't expect to be able to join something that helps other people. While doing what I love and, seeing all the magnificent things. You could too.
It's an amazing feeling when you are helping other people. In the Seagoing Cowboys program you are taking horses, young cows even mules and they are being shipped overseas. They are shipped to at least start helping countries after World War II.
People might think it's hard and tiring but I was doing what I love and all the hard work paid off in the end. I love being a 'Cowboy' and taking care of those precious animals. It's what I was meant to do in life and many other people feel the same way.
Some might say, 'What's in it for me?'. Well I didn't spend all of my time working I still had free time. I toured many places and did many things like, taking a gondola ride in Venice, Italy. I also got to see Greece and China plus a significant amount of Europe. I took nine trips, more than any other Seagoing Cowboy.
In conculsion I got to do many things and you should join because no matter what others say if you love helping people, doing what you love and seeing magnificent places on the way Seagoing Cowboys would be perfect for you, like it was for me. | 3 |
88b3fa9 | I believe that using this technology to read students' emotional expressions is a bad idea, most people hide their emotions for a reason. Whether its struggle in class or things happening at home, they'll talk about it if the teacher can help but its best to keep those things to yourself and figure out how to deal with it or talk to a professional about those things. In some cases it may help, some people might become dimented or tormented by something on their mind and make rash discisions that harm themselves and others around them. The new technology would probably be very expensive and difficult to implament and gain the permission from parents and school officials who may be confused about it. Many schools are struggling with money and financial issues and there are far more important things to do and invest on rather than spending money on technology that may not even work 100% and only add on to problems.
Can we actually "calculate" emotions like math or something? How can computers recognize facial movements humans use to express how we feel? Each human has their own smile and their own unique way of showing their emotions. How can a computer that doesn't have its own intelligence or will discern how a human actually feels? Humans can simply look at someone and tell how they are feeling on the surface but humans also hide things deep within their mind. Most people who trully hold someone dere and care about them can tell when a person is hiding something through more than just facial expressions and facial movements. They can tell how a person feels by the way they are speaking and the way they move their body or thourgh physical changes throughout their body.
I think its nearly impossible for computers to access how a person feels at a moment, whether in class or physicalogical treatment. I believe that only humans and close companions can truly discern how a person is trully feeling, there's just something thats unique to certain people that people around them can feel. A certain atmosphere that people carry and only people close to them can truly understand. Not even specifically trained people can 100% judge how a person is feeling so how could a computer thats not living do it? | 4 |
88b80dc | The technology that they have produced is very interesting and for sure can be useful. I think that it can be very beneficial to not only a classroom environment, but other types of environments aswell.
For a classroom i think it is very valuable. I think it is valuable, because teachers and other staff members can use the information to change the way they teach. They could also use it as a way to change the way they behave to students. For example if there is a teacher doing his/hers usual lesson, and the students find this teachers way of instructing/teaching very boring. The instructor could use this information, and change the way they do things in the classroom. Maybe the teacher is not very energetic and very bland at talking. Maybe their assignments are too difficult and/or confusing. The information will let the teacher know that the students are bored and aren't paying attention or confused, and then he could use that information as an advantage to spice up the lesson, or change the assignment. As it says in paragraph 6, "Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." Not only could we use the technology for learning purposes only, but for a student/teachers mental well-being also.
This technology could also used by detecting if a student is going through tough times. The technology can pick it up with the students facial expressions, and it could take note and inform the staff at the school. If the emotions are constant (I say constant because everyone has their bad days) maybe the student is depressed, or having problems at home or school even, and the technology can pick it up and inform the school. From there the school could get help for the student, or talk with them.
All in all I think that there are a lot of benefits to computers reading emotional expressions at school. It could benefit the learning environment, and also a student/teachers mental stability. Also im sure that there are many more reasons than that. I think that this can be something to look more for in the future and expand and improve more upon it. | 4 |
88b9048 | Dear state senator,
I think that Electoral College is a great and fast way to gather up votes to pick on our new president but i think that it has some big issues and the neagtives overcome the positives. One of the great things Electoral College brings that it is widely regarded as anarchronism with means that the votes wont be "overruled" it would acutally be the maguraty of the people voting on the president. If not it would be the elctors who elect the president, not the people. Also the party the people select is highly trusted and rarely betrayed. There have been a lot of cases in the past that go against Electoral College. One of the things that i am against the electoral college is that the voters dont actually vote on the presidental runner up they are actually voting on the state electors that who in turn elect the president. Also most worrying is in the case of a tie in the electrical vote. In that special case the elctection would actually have to go to the House of Representatives which means that state delegations vote on the president and The Senate would choose the vice-president. Basically the Electoral College is unfair to voters cause of the winner takes it all system in each state, candidates dont spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning so they only focus on the tight "swing" states. Its official in my opinion that the Electoral College is unfair , outdated , lack of democratic pedigree and irrational. It has lack of reasons in favor. I think we should just get over with this and go old school and get done with all this confusing matter and change to election to popular votes it took more of time but it was more accurate and caused less problems. Amazingly Bob Dole was right: Abolish the Electoral College! | 2 |
88bcf3f | Emotional expresions of students in a classroom are valuable because they show what they feel, as well as actons do. It would be awesome if this creations would be created because when a student is bored, their face will change they way of a lesson if needed.
Studens emotions are valuable because they express how we feel, like if friend dies, our face will show that we are sad. If we do great on something, like winning a contest, our face will show that we are happy. Our teenage years are the most important because we have alot of different emotions, that change our lives.
Another reason that students emotions are valuable is becease we are growing up. Growing up is hard for parents, but it is hard for the kids too, they have to deal with the parents strict rules. Emotions are what makes you, me , and everyone else. Our emotions tell us who we are, what we like, how we feel.
Emotions make character in every circumstance.
The text states " For instance, you can tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look on their face." We have 44 muscles that make us unique, but they all show the same emotion. We can try to hide our emtion, but there will always be one person who can tell what emotions you are really feeling, that person is you, your parents. When you make a certan face, only you know that feeling at the moment.
If you have real freinds they bring you up when your down, only because they see your emotions.
In conclusion student emotions are valuable because, emotions make character, they also change lives, they make you, you. and they leave an impact. they show what you feel. They also show if you disagree with something. Those 44 muscles in your face makes you unique, nothing can change that, thats the best part, God made no mistakes, he made you in his image. People try to hide their depression, when they do it gets worse, only because they didn't tell anybody. Your emotions as a student can either make or break you in life when you get older, its all in your face. | 2 |
88be918 | When I first graduated high school I never knew that my life could change so fast. I was working two part time jobs at a grocery store and a bank and when my friend Don Reist invited me to go to Europe on a cattle boat I couldn't say no because I knew that it was a lifetime opportunity. In the year of 1945 World War two was over in Europe and many countries were left in ruins and Don and I signed up to go on the seagoing cow boy adventures.
When we got our seaman's papers SS Charles W. Wooster, we headed for Greece--with a total cargo of 335 horses and enough hay and oats to feed them. I turned 18 before arriving in Greece and meant that I could possible be drafted for military service. When my draft board learned that I was on a cattle boat trip, they told me to just keep doing that for my service. By the time I was discharged in 1947, I had made nine trips---the most of any seagoing cowboy. "The cattle-boat trips wre an unbelievable opportunity for a small-town boy." "Besides helping people, I had the side benifit of seeing Europe and China.
Seeing the Acropolis in Greece was special to me. It took two weeks to cross the Antlantic Ocean from the eastern coast of the United States and a month to get to China. Caring for the animals during the crossings kept me busy.
I also found time to have fun on board, especially on return trips after the animals had been unloaded. We played baseball and volleyball games in the empty holds where animals had been housed. Table-tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and games also helped pass the time.
In conclusion I think that everybody should become a Seagoing Cowboy because of all the sights especcially the Acropolis in Greece. Taking care of the animals is more than fun. On the return trips It was double the fun than going there we get to play games where the animals were once housed. I still can't believe that I was invited to become a Seagoing Cowboing. | 2 |
88c5fdb | Some scientists wish to study many things in this universe, maybe because of curiosity, for fun, or to collect data. All humans have been at least been curious about something, about planets, about the stars, about other galaxies. But some of these curiosities lead could potentially lead us to danger. An example of this is scientists that wish to study the planet Venus, despite the dangers it presents. In this article, the author has supported the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents by explaining the reason, which is the scientists' fascination of the most Earth-like planet.
In paragraph 4, it says "Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well...some featurs that are analogous to those on Earth." This evidence from the article supports my claim because it explains to us that these scientists are quite fascinated with Venus due to it being the most Earth-like planet in this solar system. In paragraph 6, it says "More importantly, researchers cannot take samples...get up close and personal despite the risks." This detail from the article supports my claim because it shows us how desperate scientists and researchers are to studying Venus. By collecting samples of rocks and gas from Venus, this detail can relate to my claim of fascination of Venus, the most Earth-Like planet.
In conclusion, my claim is that the author is supporting the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers by providing us the reason of the scientists and researchers being quite fascinated with the planet Venus. | 3 |
88c60a7 | You can't trust driveless cars. If you let the car drive you while you sleep you never know what can happen. It probably turn-off and mess up like another person can control your car whoever you got it from. You really dont know what can help while you have this car. It still couldn't obey road signs or handle poor weather conditions.
You never know the driveless car can start doing other stuff then what its suppose to do. It can still get into a accident when its driving by itself can hit any car because it basically have control over the car then. I really think you should just not drive them you better off driving yoself if anything happen its your fault not the car. What if the driveless go off without telling you then what ?
If sleeping and the thing try and warn you its going off then what happens ? You probably will be sleeping to good for you not to hear it. Cant trust all technology some of it will trick you and plus it requires alot of sensors. You have to put alot of things in it for it to be made so anything can really go wrong. This my opinion for driveless cars. Dont get me wrong this is very creative but anything can happen while its driving or you.
If they can make it and nobody complain then that will be fine. But at this
moment i dont really think that they are ready to be drove like give it some time they people that made it should rive it for aminute to see if its safe. Just really think they creative but shouldve waited awhile before saling it. | 2 |
88c9fcb | I'm against the development of Driverless Cars. I think they are not a good idea for three reasons, theft, technical difficulties, and risky actions. My first reason is theft. Somebody could steal one and just leave off with the car. For example, a robber comes out a bank, he see a driverless car, hops in and leaves off with it. Also, i think it's easy for people to steal them because since its driverless they probably wont need a key.They'll use sensors.
My second reason is technical difficulties. I choose this reason because in our world, people build a lot of stuff but there's always a problem/technical difficulty. Having driverless, computer-working cars, can be very risky. According to the story "Driverless Cars Are Coming", a quote in paragraph 7 states " They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver
when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents." What if the car has a technical difficulty from the rain. Usually technology doesn't work well when its wet. Say I was driving a driverless car to the store and it started to rain. I want to turn left but instead it turns right and crashes into another car. Then I wouldn't want to buy a driverless car no more because this dangerous situation.
My last reason is risky actions. There's a pssibility that a person can get injured or die from driverless cars. According to the story "Driverless Cars Are Coming" in paragraph 9 it state, " If the tecnology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault---The driver or the manufacturer?" I feel like it would be the manufacturer's fault because they the one's who made and sell the driverless cars. It shouldnt be the driver's fault because they no driving, they put they trust into the technology, hoping it will get them from point A to point B safely. If this technology does fail, there's a possibility that someone or families could be injured or die from this risky situation.
I dont think Driverless cars are safe in our world. We have had a lot of technology that had technical difficulties. It is too risky and can put people in danger or harm's way We should stick to humans (that are skilled) driving. | 4 |
88d8d80 | The Facial Action Coding System could be valuable in classrooms because it could make a sudent's work more easy for them to do because it could tell if the student is having a hard time on the work or just does not like the work they were givein like it says in the article.
Another thing it could be valuable for is how a students is feeling lso like if the system see's that a student is feeling unhappy the system could tell the teacher or another student that this student is not in a good mood and that they might need some to go chcek on them.
So those are the resion's why I think the Facial Action Coding System would be valuble in classroom's is that it could tell if a student is having a hard time doing the work or just does not like the work they are doing and another thing is that it could help the teacher or other stundet's know that one of the stundet's is unhappy and that they might need someone help like they are haveing a bad day or they are feeling sick. And so thats why I think the Facial Action Coding System could be valuable for. | 2 |
88dc279 | Honestly truth be told there is a valuable cause in this because alot of technology today will ask you to rate this website or did you like this song?.The computer will read only what u tell them. Although the computer cannot read how you really feel because sometimes people lie about what they do and dont like. So just because you rate that website a 7 doesnt mean you like it you might just want them to think its a good website. The computer would have to be very reliable and trusting for it to be valuable. The students these days is hard to tell because they just don't care anymore. If they don't care then there is no way to tell if they like something or not.
In the article it says "The process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles. Movement of one or more muscles is call and "action unit." In that paragraph its technically talking about how the computer will recognize facial expressions but in my opinion I feel like that would take alot of work for computer technicians to actually put more devices in a computer just to see what people think about them.
So in my opinion no I don't think they should use the technology to read emotions because it will make things more expensive and less people will buy them. Some people wouldn't like technology to read their emotions because alot of times people wont be angry at the computer they would be mad because the computer is trying to tell them how they are feeling. | 2 |
88de2df | Driverless cars are very unecessary and will only cause trouble that can be avoided. These cars are unecessary, because driving is not one of the huge problems in the world. A lot of other issues should be viewed as more urgent to take care of, than the development of cars that do not need people behind the wheel and in control. They will only cause problems, because they can easily get into accidents, among many other issues. It was just spoken about this week in the news: Google's car got into its first accident.
In order to completely transfer over to driverless cars, a lot of things have to be changed and developed. Not only are the cars themselves problematic (they are not even able to react around an accident site), but there are no laws stating who is responsible if a vehicle with no driver causes an accident to happen. Who is held responsible in the end? A prediction some can make is that many lawsuits will be formed against both the maker of the vehicle, and the driver behind the wheel. The question will also arise that if neither were in control, can you blame something such as a car? Another problem that the cars could create, is a huge spending issue. In the article it is stated that a certain device "cost two hundred million dollars." That is a lot of money to spend on the system for one car. And the cars need many sensors in order for them to run smoothly, such as," a rotating sensor on the roof, a video camera mounted near the rearview mirror, four automotive radar sensors," and that might be roughly half of all one car needs. Another problem that could arise is the conditions of roads. Many of the driverless cars that the article states have been developed have needed specific conditions in order to function correctly, such as "a special test track" or "magnets with alternating polarity." How would those cars function in an everyday situation out on the open road? Not very well. So how would they be able to develop a vehicle that can operate on a true highway, as well as on the many other types of roadways in the world? An issue that should be brought up also, is that none of the developed vehicles have been completely driverless. They need humans to do certain things for them behind the wheel, such as navigating crash scenes. What happens if a driver who is bored while their car drives for them forgets to be paying attention?
In conclusion, driverless cars are not something that should be stood for. They will only create trouble that is not needed in the world, and can possibly lead to way bigger issues, such as in our economy. The development and actual distribution of these cars would be something unprecedented and who knows what could come of unprecedented things. In reading this article, it was easy to pick out things that could go wrong, and reasons it would not be in the world's best interest to go further in the development, but it was a lot harder to pick out what could go right and how these cars could help the world. If something might do more harm than good, why do it? | 3 |
88e105c | It would be an amazing experience to join the Seagoing Cowboys program because it would be an opportunity of a lifetime. According to the text, Luke said, "Besides helping people, I had the side benefit of seeing Europe and China. But seeing the Acropolis in Greece was special. So was taking a gondola ride in Venice, Italy, a city with streets of water." The text also says that he toured a castle in Crete and marveled at the Panama Canal on his way to China.
Also, if you worked on one of those boats, you would be helping people in need in other countries. The text states that being a Seagoing Cowboy was much more than an adventure for Luke Bomberger. It opened up the world to him. And lastly, being a Seagoing Cowboy changed Luke's life. In conclusion, I think it would be a good decision to join the Seagoing Cowboys and go on a life-changing adventure. | 2 |
88e1bf9 | Luke was offered a trip to Europe on a boat by a friend and of course he couldn't say no. So Luke took the offer but World War II was going in Europe and many countries were left in ruins. A group called UNRRA (the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration) hired "Seagoing Cowboys" to take care of the animals that were shipped over seas.
According to the text in August 1945, they received their orders to report to New Orleans. They arrived August 14 the day the Pacific war was over. Luke turned 18 the day before arriving in Greece, which meant he could be drafted for military service. He was discharged in 1947 but Luke had already made nine trips the most any Seagoing Cowbody had ever done.
Luke had a great experience doing something he loved and also helping out others. He went to Europe to have a fun vacation but ended up helping fourty-four countries that were in ruins. I would encourage a lot of people to join the Seagoing Cowboy program because you get to travel around and visit a lot of countries but also you get to help out countries that aren't at there finest at the moment. This supports why I would suggest people to join. | 2 |
88e52a1 | Dear Senator,
We should keep the Electoral College but should change some of the rules. We should have a Congress that knows best about what we should do to make our country better. They should be wise with age and should know better than to elect someone who is no good for this country. The votes should be runned by the people and they should have a say if the person running to be President or Vice President should run at all. The people have the majority vote, so they should be able to have a say. It does take longer but it is what's right.
We don't need to get rid of the Congress but we need to be better about who we put in the office to run our beautiful country. They need to come and show us who they really are. Visit a town and get them your vote. The Electoral College has done some good things in the past but we should change it. The Congress needs to be made up of people who know what is right and which canadite to choose as our President.
If you are going to be in Congress and are voting for a specific party, then you need to stay in that party. The canadite is going to feel like you betrayed them after everything they have done for you. Just because your rich doesn't make it okay to betray what's right for this country. "But each party selects a slate of electors trusted to vote for the party's nominee (and that trust is rarely betrayed)" (In Defense of the Electoral College:Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President, Richard A. Posner). Through our troubled times, Congress has never stopped trying to make everything better. That is what this nation needs and hopes for.
Do not get rid of the Electoral College because it helps us who to choose to run our nation. Just make some adjustments and this country will be the best it can be.
Sincerely Yours, Gabriela. | 2 |
88eaec8 | Can you imagine a world filled with cars that doesn't need any human assitance? Well that world is in the near future ; driveless car have been created. The postive apects of having a drivless car it
is more safe and driverless cars will allow humans to be more alert. With more stafety than an average car today this can be a huge factor in making the switch to having driveless cars.
When many buy cars today the safety of the car is the determining point when purchasing it.In the article it states,"Further improvements in sensors and computer hardware and software to make driving safer are also leading cars that can handle more and more driving tasks on their own." The quote supports that a positive aspect of the self driving cars is the safety of it. Moreover, the quote supports that the self driving car is safer because it can handle more task then an average car today. In the article it also states, " The cars he forsees would use half the fuel of today's taxis and offers far more fexibility than an bus."
It can be inffered from the pervious quote that drivieless cars are more safe and better for the enivironment becuase it will comsume less fuel. As a result of drivless cars being safer their is less room fro human errors.
Driveless cars will make humans more aware, therefore eliminating many human errors. In the passage it states," This means the human driver must be remain alert and be ready to take over when the situation requires. This necessitates car being ready to quickly get the driver's attention whenever a problem occurs."This quotes supports my pervious statement in the first paragraph that the positive aspect of driveless cars will allow humans to be alerts. The pervious quote supports this by stating that the human driver must be alert incause a problem occurs. I can also infer by humans being alert tha less human promatic things will happen; such as accidents and traffic.In the article it also states," allowing far better reponse and control than a human driver could manage alone." This quote supports that the car elminates human error by managing far more superior than a human. The drivless car can shape the world by sloving the problems we have today.
In conclusion the self driving car is in the near future. The optomestic benefits of the self driving car are that there is less room for human e rror and the drivless car is more safe. By eliminating human error and reducing gases comsuption the world will be
better. | 4 |
88eed90 | Driverless cars should not be allowed on the roads proven by examples and facts in this writing.
One reason driverless cars should not be allowed is because you would still have to be alert just in case the car needs human assistance. That is the whole reason behind driverless cars so that people won't need to pay attention the vechile will do it for them. If the driver were to not be paying atttention and the vechile needed assistance because of road construction or traffic and the driver were to be not paying atttention it could cause a serious accident. Similar to the article "Driverless Cars Are Coming" in paragraph 2 it says how the car would need an alert driver to take over if there were traffic issues, roadwork, or accidents.
Another is that if there were an accident the manufacturer would not be held reliable the driver would be. In paragraph 9 it said how most states will not even let them test computer-driven cars because the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver.
Although automakers are still working assuming the problems ahead will be solved, but many think it is a big stretch working on this. Many may not believe that it is not worth the money continuing to make a driverless car.
As a conclusion driverless cars should not be allowed on the road because of reliability issues and the need the cars have for an alert driver. | 3 |
88efd41 | Venus is one of the brightest light as a planet, but dangerous. Venus is dangerous to explore for humans. The machines they use for Venus is kept being destroyed by how strong the heat is. NASA is working on other things so they can make machines last longer in Venus. The author did a good job to convince me that it was a worthy pursuit despite from the dangers it is from Venus.
Venus is hard to explore for humans. The heat is strong at Venus, it can kill a astronaut in minutes. It will be dangerous if humans explore Venus close. "It has proved a very challenging place to examine more closely." If a human gets on Venus or close to it, it is basically suicidal.
The machines they use for Venus last for hours when it lands. Each mission they use the machines for Venus, it never survived. "Each previous mission was unmanned, and for good reason, since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours." The machines are too weak for the heat on Venus so it breaks faster. I think they should wait later until our machines are more stronger and better so we can know more about Venus.
Right now NASA is studying things to approach at Venus. NASA is making the machines more resistant from things in Venus. "By comparison, systems that use mechanical parts can be made more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces." This is a good thing for our future so we can get more prepared of what's going to happen later on. If they successfully make a machine that can last longer on Venus, we can put powerful machines on other planets too.
Venus is one of the brightest light at the solar system, but it is dangerous. Venus is dangerous for humans to explore at or getting close to it. The machines they use for Venus are weak and gets destroyed by how strong the heat is. NASA is working on other things so that the machine can be stronger from the heat and presurre on Venus. So after reading this essay, the author did convinced me that it was worthy pursuit despite the dangers from Venus. | 4 |
88ff1f2 | The author says studying Venus is a worthly pursuit and to despite the dangers because you can learn a lot about the solar system and venus itself. There are tons of things that you can learn from studying Venus. There are also many dangers doing it also.
In paragraph four the author states that astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. The author also states that long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life just like Earth. The author states that because as we all know there is life on Earth because Earth is 3/4 of water. 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, moutains, and craters. The author stated that there could be a visit to Venus . The National Aerinautics and Space Administration has one particularly compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus. The author states that you should imagine a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape . They are gonna stay off the ground because it has some unfriendly conditions. The author states that at thirty-plus miles above the surface, temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 degress Fahrenheit but the air pressure would be close to that of sea level. They aren't easy conditions, but survivable for humans
All those details prove that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. There are many prositive things about studing Venus that the author listed. He did list some negitve things about studing Venus but you have to despite those ideas. | 2 |
89034e7 | Why should we stop using cars especially to our everyday advantage? Cars can pollute the air running on normal gas rather then hybrid cars though. Why is being car-free such a big hit? Will the use of cars come to an end? Not driving cars can be good for us in many ways.
"Congestion was down 60% in France after 5 days the smog rivaled in Beijing, China, wich is known as one of the most polluted cities in the world." (as Robert Duffer says in pragraph). The pollution can spread and make it worse some where else but be pollution free there. In france diesel feul is to blame for their pollution 67% compared to 53.3% of gasoline. Not using cars for only just a small amount of time can get rid of much of the pollution. Some people say its more stress free to not have cars around.
Being car-free is becoming more known and more people are trying it. There has been less traffic jams too. "The goal is to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog." (as Andrew Selsky states in pragraph 21). Also that of having no stress and nonpolluted air. In Bogota, Columbia cars have been banned for 3 years. People are being more active and walking more, this is helping a lot because everyone is getting more excercise and being healthier and having no pollution is a plus because you can also breathe easier.
"Studies suggest that Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by." (as Elisabeth Rosenthal states in paragrah 29.) The United States is very cultural based on cars. The use has dropped drastically because in 2013 the miles driven was 9% below the peak. A part of it was because some people dont make much money or have jobs. sociologists believe that being car-free can be a benefit to society but bad for car companies. More people are using technology to communicate rather then driving somewhere too see them in person.
Being care-free is a great way too live your life, theres so many advantages to not having to use your cars. This helps save money from gas or car problems. It helps you be healthier and more active. All in all it even helps pollution one of the biggest problems we have and a main cause is the gas from cars. | 3 |
8907348 | Our world is becoming more and more automatic. Everyday things that people use to take an hour to do can now be done by a machine without any labor involved. This can make things easier and seemingly better, until something goes wrong. These ways of doing things automatically have hidden problems that are not good about them, much like the driverless car. Driverless cars are not a good thing because of the extra cost, the complicated maininence, and the possible safety hazards.
Cars cost a whole lot as it is, but driverless cars will cost a whole lot more. The radar on the top of these driverless cars cost 200 million dollars to devolope, as stated in the article. That is just more money added to the cost of these cars. That is not even counted the many more electronic softwear that has to go in these cars in order for them to drive themselves. As many people know, electronics are expensive these days, and adding a whole bunch more to these driverless cars will make the price skyrocket, which is why I am opposed to them.
When people are driving their own car correctly and how they should, they can see everything around them, and if something were to go wrong, they can manuever however they want to in order to avoid the problem at hand or stop it as soon as possible. Also, there are so many things to take into acount when driving. Such as the sudden moves of people or animals or other cars, and a person can also adapt their driving in certain weather conditions, which was not mentioned about the driverless car in the article. If there was no way that someone could avoid an accident and they had to drive into a ditch in order to get out of harms way, there would not be alot of damage done. These crazy but possible events are the reason that driverless cars are less safe, because would a driverless car be able to do the same thing at a moments notice? It could beep and turn it over to the driver, but the driver is unprepared and unaware of what is happening, because they got so bored since they were not driving that they have not been paying attention. There are so many factors and scenarios that have to be considered when talking about driverless cars, and I think the possible danger of them outweighs the benfits.
Like mentioned in the first paragraph, the cost of the extra electronic parts of these cars is more than enough to dislike them, but now emagine if one of these parts were to go out, now your self driving car cannot function properly. Fixing electronic problems are very expensive, as sensors for various vehicles today can cost over one thousand dollars. And we are dealing with more complicated technology than just a single sensor. These electronical problems are the most complicated to fix, and that means that they cost a whole lot more to fix than a normal, easy mechanical problem like a spark plug. That is why these driverless cars are a bad thing, because of the expensive maintenence.
Why can't people just sit back and enjoy the ride and the pleasure of driving? If taught correctly, this is the safest bet. The cost of electronics for a self driving car are very expensive, and a human driver that is aware of his surroundings and how those surroundings react when driving is far more safe that a self driving car. The maintenence of the expensive electronics will be a mechanics demise when one of these magic cars come rolling in the shop. Which is why I am against self driving cars because of the extra expence, the risk in safety, and the cost of maintenece. | 4 |
890b903 | Ban Driverless Cars!
Ban driverless cars! Weather, We should have driverless cars or cars with drivers has been in a huge issue in the world today. Some people may believe we should have have driverless cars but, in this case I think we should ban them from the United States due to many reasons.
One reason why driverless cars should be banned because of reckless driving. Reckless driving is one of the major deaths we have in the world today. Having cars with no drivers can be very dangerous to the driver and passagers in the car, even the pedestrians on the streets and other cars. As the story states "... Lawmakers know that safety is best achieved with alert drivers."
If we allow driverless cars we never know for sure if it is actaully safe to drive them on the road and citzens wouldn't be safe.
Get rid of driverless driving!
Another reason we shouldnt have driverless cars because the cost for them would be too much. Today in the world technology has became very important to us . Driverless cars would have to have lots of technology to work. "such as radar sensors , and GPS receiver, motion sensors also" Driverless cars will cost alot more than a regular car that requires a driver.
If one of your sensors stop working it will cost alot more to get fixed than a regular car. Which also would mean your car would unsafe and undrivable.
Last but not least, my last reason is changing to laws. By having driverless cars require the laws to be changed. Eventually everyone would be forced to buy a driverless car do to the changes of the law. The laws would have to change and it wouldn't be fair to other people with regular cars.
In conclusion, Driverless cars should be banned. Due to safety issues, reckless driving, cost, and changing the laws. I do understand that people may disagree with my arugment but, here are reasons why I believe driverless cars should not be allowed. | 4 |
890d02c | Driverless cars would be very good, in my opinion because there are a lot of people who are unable to drive, handy-capped, etc.
One reason that driverless cars would be good is because like I said before there are people who are disabled that would need this. But professionals need to make sure that it works properly before using. They need to make sure that even computer-controlled cars are safe, before being used, or they will have to pay, because it is their fault if someone gets injured.
Another reason I would think this is a good idea is because just in case something happens inside the car they are suggesting that they put cameras inside. That is a very good idea, there could be a lot of things happening in just one car, to be honest. It says in Paragraph 7 in the last sentence, that "While the driver watches the road, the car watches the driver." That is a very good statment and I really think that they should put in cameras, if they actually do start using driverless cars.
But one thing they need to keep as a principle is being safe. They need to put up a good system that protects anything or anybody from trying to hack the cameras and look at people. There are crazy people who do that for some reason.
Driverless cars is a good idea, almost everybody could need this or would find this very interesting and it would also help in driving even to just basic places. | 3 |
891473d | The whole purpose of democracy is to create a government that reflects the desires, opinions, and attitudes of the people being governed, but how can this be achieved if the people aren't fairly represented during election time, presidential or otherwise? This is the problem with the Electoral College system; it puts all of decision-making power in the hands of our electors, not the citizens themselves. To begin with, the electors selected by citizens are capable of defying the will of the people they were chosen to represent. Next, in the case of a tie, the opinions of millions of people would be overlooked. Finally, because the Electoral College encourages candidates to focus on obtaining votes instead informing all voters about their intentions, only the influential "swing" states receive enough attention from candidates to make a well-informed decision when voting. When it comes to something as serious as the fate of our country, citizens cannot put their faith in the such a corrupt system as the Electoral College.
First of all, the Electoral College system creates a window of opportunity for "faithless" electors to take advantage of the power given to them by society during the voting process. Under the Electoral College, voters do not vote directly for who they want as president, but instead for a slate of electors, who in turn select the president. Although these electors may pledge themselves to a particular candidate, there is no way to determine whether or not they end up casting their vote according to the will of the people who put them in charge. Such an unpredictable turn of events could be avoided if only the outcomes of presidential elections were determined by popular vote, not through an Electoral College.
Secondly, if a tie were to occur, the opinions of countless citizens would be ignored. In this case, the election would be thrown to the House of representatives, were delegates from each state would vote on the president. Since each state has only one vote to cast, a vote from a state containing 500,000 people would carry the same weight as a vote representing the opinions of 35 million. Given that many voters vote one party for president and another for Congress, the selection made by the House of Represenatives can hardly be expected to respesent the will of the people. | 4 |
89155ea | I am for driverless cars, I believe they are the true future of vehicles. I think that cars where people still actually drive them will be used as entertainment than actual means of transportation. Traffic laws will of course have to be made for the driverless cars as time goes by, but I think that once they are fully driverless there will be little to no driving laws as the cars will be advanced enough to not have to worry about them. Cars may not be fully driverless in our lifetime, but I believe that eventually it will happen.
Traffic laws for vehicles will be added and removed as the advancement of driverless cars continue. I think that there will be motion sensors or a sync that will detect when a car is coming to a stop sign or a stop light and will make it stop on its own. All the basic driving laws of today will either be altered or removed more than likely.
Cars that are still required to have an actual person control them will be used more as entertainment purposes than for actual transportation. It will be like sporting events such as NASCAR and Formula 1 racing I would say. They will not be used for actual transportation though.
Cars will not be fully driverless in our lifetime, I believe. We will be very close to achieving it, however. I think that they will still be semi-driverless by then. | 2 |
8919405 | The author supports this idea that studying venus is worthy pursuit despite the dangers because venus is the second planet from our sun. While venus is simple to see from the distant away but still safe . Earth, Venus, and mars are the planetary neighbor, that will go aroud the other planets. Venus is very close to the sun . Venus is just like a evening star that they call it in different places.
Each previous mission was unmanned, and for more than a few hours. They always tried to watch venus the planet to see if there was anything new or they need to know something about it . Venus is kinda hot just like the sun becuase they are both close together. Even the clouds are highly corrosive sulfuric acid in venus's atmosphere. The conditions can get far more extreme then humans which can get very bad.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has one particularly compelling idea for sending humans to study venus. Venus will be able to allow scienctists to see more thing and allow them to float above the fray. Peering at Venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can only provide a little amount of stuff that will go on. Venus is can be very dangous because it is so hot and u will not be able to vist it because it is so hot u will die from it . The sun and venus are the hottest out there .
The comparison system that use mechanical parts can be made more resistant to pressure, heat , and other forces. Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size . Occasionally the closest in distance too . Numerous factors contributw to venus's repuatation as a challenging planet for humans to study , desprite its proximity to us . The thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus.
Venus has a lot to get things from just like if you look up venus you probably can get alot from it . For scientists to get alot of things from venus they problaby have to get like a machian to see venus since its hot .They have to make sure the mechians are good to go on there so they make sure nothing happens to the mechiane . Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system even through mercury is closer to our sun. That is what you learn about venus and how it is . | 3 |
8927e9d | Why You Should Join the Seagoing Cowboys
There is an exciting program called the Seagoing Cowboys. The Seagoing Cowboys are a group of people who travel the world to help other countries. If you like working and exploring the world join the Seagoing Cowboys! You also get the experience of helping people, also meeting new friends.
My first reason for joining the Seagoing Cowboys is that you get to see the world. In between trips you can always stop to go sightseeing with friends. You can even get a job doing cattle-boat trips where you take trips to other countries that are overseas. While you're sailing overseas you can stop to see a famous landmark as long as it's close by. Such as Luke, it states in the story where he went to go sightseeing in between trips. "So was taking a gondola ride in Venice, Italy, a city with streets of water. Also where it states "Luke also toured an excavated castle in Crete and marveled at the Panama Canal on his way to China.
My second reason is that you get the experience of helping people and their country. It tells you in the story, "It made me more aware of people of other countries and their needs. Being a Seagoing Cowboy can help your personality too, it can make you kinder, and help you show humility. It also says in the story " And that awareness stayed with him, leading his family to host a number of international students and exchange visitors for many years.
My final reason is the experience of making new friends, and having fun with them. You can make new friends in different countries, also people that you work with. Some people that you become friends with can become your best friend for life. It states in the story what fun things you can do with them too, " Luke also found time to have fun on board , especially on return trips after the animals had been unloaded. " The cowboys played baseball and volleyball games in the empty holds where animals had been housed. Table-tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and games also helped past time.
In conclusion, there are many reasons you should join the Seagoing Cowboys. You can join for the experience of helping people, the experience of seeing the world, or you can join to make new friends and having fun with them. Being a Seagoing Cowboy can also help strengthen you're personality, and help you be aware of people and their needs and wants. | 4 |
892da1a | My position on the driverless car is that it could be useful. But at the same time it could end up being extremely dangerous. With the kind of world we live in, such a car could become a problem. And could have some safety an liability issuses. Here are some examples of how it could turn out to be a bad invention.
The added safety features don't include drivers who are texting. It's kinda pointless to have a driverless car if those heads-up safety features isn't limited to drivers who are trying to text while driving. New traffic laws will be needed in order to cover liability in case of an accident. If there is an accident, it will be hard to discern who is at fault for the accident, the manufacturer or driver.
With liability issuses like this it is much too risky to contine to make advancements on the car. There are one too many safety issuses with such a car. Faulty design, limited coverage, new traffic laws, boring,and so on. It is extremely pointless to even have started to invent such a car. And could turn out to be too much of an expensive investment for those who want to increase the manufacturing process. | 2 |
892efa3 | Thousands of people around the world use cars. It's an all-around good mode of transportation. Unfortunately, the fumes that cars emit are harmful for the environment. There are ways to limit car usage. Limiting car usage has many benefits such us the decrease in greenhouse house gas, the decrease in smog, and resources are conserved.
First off, reducing the usage of cars can cut the amount of greenhouse gas produced dramatically. One can easily cut down on car usage by using other means of transportation such as : riding bike, riding the train, and plain walking. Greenhouse gas emissions are very harmful and are mostly caused by car emissions. Around fifty percent of passenger cars are responsible for these gasses (source 1.) If we limit car usuage we can promote a healthier environment.
Additionally, reducing car usuage also cuts down smog. Smog is another deadly gas that isnt just dangerous to the environment, but also to us. Smog is polluted air which can cause sickness. Many cities around the world are increasing in smog due to the overusuage of cars. For example Paris almost broke the record for polluted air, which is held by China, one of the most polluted cities in the world (source 2.) If we reduce the usuage of cars, we promote cleaner air for ourselves. Just by limiting the car usuage for five days in Paris, the smog went down sixty percent (source 2.) The advantage of limiting car usuage would be cleaner air.
Finally, limiting car usuage is beneficial because it conserves resources. If we dont rely on cars, we could make cities more compact (source 1.) Therefore reducing the amount of land destroyed to build malls, highways, and houses. This would save tons of resources that were going to be used on building and natural resources (source 4.) Limiting car usuage would improve life all around.
All in all, the limit on car usuage would benefit the environment, it would benefit our health, and it would aid the conservation of resources. | 4 |
8936c5c | Professors Thomas Huang and Nicu Sebe collaborated to develop a unique method of determining human emotions using computer algorithms. After a process of 3-D modelling and calculations of muscle movements, emotion of a face can be determined with the help of Da Vinci's depiction of the human anatomy used in the FACS (Facial Action Coding System) algorithms. However, the main picture at hand is whether or not this highly sophisticated program is necessary at all in the real world, especially in a school classroom. The enabling of computers to be able to identify human emotion can in fact be used in classrooms and can be of great benefit to the student and other people in the area.
Firstly, according to Dr. Huang, when a classroom computer recognizes by their facial expression that a student may not be very interested in the lesson or seems utterly confused, the computer can modify its lesson and perhaps recommend the student other lessons that may be more beneficial. This in turn can give the student the luxury of exiting their state of confusion and begin to understand lessons and topics that was not well introduced by the teacher. Additionally, this could impact the student's grade and boost it greatly, all with the help of some complex algorithms.
In addition to the aforementioned about lesson modification, computers can also detect your emotion and influence different types of ads that can pop up on the screen. For example, if the computer recognizes a student has a happy face for a particular ad, a more similar ad can pop up to keep your emotion. However, if the computer recognizes that the student's emotion is sad, the next ad will be different (potentially more optomistic) in order to influence a different emotion to the student.
Thirdly, just making facial expressions to the computer, whether it be real or fake, can have multiple influences to other people in the area. Constantin Stanislavsky, a drama coach, had his actors smile and frown in a certain way to create emotion on the stage and for the audience. In relation to the FACS, when a student is for instance "testing" their emotions on the computer screen, a person may look up and notice his classmate frowning at the screen and in turn have a similar effect on them. Just by making simple facial expressions can effect another person and influence their emotional status too.
In conclusion, the input of emotion-recognizing computers throughout a school can have a multitude of effects on a student and the people around him/her. These include having a very own built-in instructor in the computer which can guide the student through course lessons not effectively explained by their teacher, advertisements shown on the web that can change itself based on recognition of certain facial expressions, and all-in-all influence the emotional status of people around the student. The input of the FACS program can have a positive impact on personal relations with other people and can even help give a grade booster! | 4 |
894060d | For many years, there has been a disconnection between students and teachers; part of this is due to the fact that some students simply just do not like the taching methods of the teachers they have been assigned to, but what if that could change. Recently, a new technology has been developed that is called the Facial Action Coding System. This technology enables computers to identify a variety of human emotions. This system could accomplish many great things. If used in schools as personal tutors for students, many things could change for the better.
Imagine getting an A+ on every single one of your geometry quizzes because you actually knew what was going on. If the Facial Action Coding System is incorporated into a tutoring program, this could enhance the students knowledge of their prefered learning styles. If a student is learning a lesson in a class and FACS picks up that the student is not enjoying the way it is being taught to them or simply looks disinterested, FACS could continue to bring the lesson to the student until the student looks satisfied. The student would finally understand how to solve something in a way that they like meaning this would be a win for both the school and the student. This is just one of many ways that FACS could be used in classrooms across the world, potentially enhancing them.
With the evedince shown above, it has been shown how useful it would be to incorporate a Facial Action Coding System in schools. It would be a smart choice to have something that connects with a students emotions when it comes to learning something new. This would not only mean a higher success rate for schools, but also the student would be satisfied in knowing that they understand how to do certain things that they did not prior to FACS. | 3 |
894104e | The story talks about how computer can recognize emotions by on our face. Dr. Huang made a computer that recognize Mona Lisa's face that she is mostly happy. People can recognize emotions but not guarateed while computer is guarateed. In next paragraph I will put few edivence to support the claim.
"The process begins when then computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles." "For instance, you can probably tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look on her face. Of course, most of us would have trouble actually describing each facial trait that conveys happy, worried, etc. Yet, Dr. Huang observes that artists such as da Vinci studied human anatomy to help them paint facial muscles precisely enough to convey specific emotions. His new computer software stores similar anatomical information as electronic code." ""A classroom compter could recognize when student is becoming confused or bored," Dr. Huang predicts."
Therefore, compter can recognize people when they are happy or sad. Even people can hide their emotions from people but not computer. I think it will help us to make others feel better when they are sad and they won't admit that they are sad. | 2 |
8943100 | Unmasking the face on mars is a cool story, but if i was a scientist at NASA discussing the face with someone who thinks it was created by aliens i would tell them its not created by aliens its just a natural landform thats is on mars.
Im not just saying this to say it but what i figured out is that eighteen long years ago after the viking missions ended. That the face that they found was important to the taxpayers. I also found out that the face on mars is located at 41 degrees north martian latitude were it was winter in april, a cloudy time of year on the red planet.
so my argumentative essay to the people that believe it was created by aliens well its not because when michael malin and his mars arbiter camera team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original viking photos, thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL website, releaving a natural landform there were no aliens monument after all. | 2 |
89444f4 | Driverless cars dont even sound safe. Then don't ever sound useful if im being honest. Yeah it's something that we can make happen now a days but we can make flying cars a thing to.
Driverless cars can cause many accidents if you really think about it the driver will take advantage of the car. He or she driving the car will think it's okay to not pay attention because the car will let it know when something is about to happen what if its too late and an accident happens. What if the driver is intoxicaded and doesn't pay attention to what the car is saying. What if the car starts to mess up and the driver looses control of the car. There is so many things that can go wrong with this espicially now there are so many things going on with texting and driving and drinking and driving. Imagine the accidents that can happen.
What if the driver wakes up super early one day and are driving to work. They have the driverless car driving and they fall asleep because there not moving or doing anything simply because the car is driving itself you know how bad that accident can be? If you have a regular car that you control you will have to stay awake because you are the on moving it and controlling it but if you have the driverless car you arent really doing anything but trying to stay careful and paying attetention which can cause you to fall asleep. I don't see this has being safe what so ever so many things can go wrong so many people can get hurt. What if the driverless car messes up and they blame the driver and not the manufacturer many people would get angry.
If they really want this to happen there should be so many rules in the car. Some can be that every passanger has to have a seatbelt or the car won't move, the driver must have both hands on wheel the entire time the car is in motion. Not a single car can be to full. Loud alert signals when something is going to happen to aware the driver. A voice check to see who is driving etc.. It does sound appealing knowing you are going to get in a car and not have to drive it but me being safe and the others on the car are way more important then me being happy. I would rather be happy and safe and drive my own car then to depend on a car computer that can break down anyday.
Driverless cars are just not something that sounds safe what so ever. If you have someone driving for you then whats the point of learning how to drive learning how to park taking your time studying and preparing for the test all of that will be useless if you have a car that drives on its own most of the time. You know how many teenagers are going to try to take there parents driverless car just because it drives on its own and they know they won't get pulled over because the car is driving perfect. Many people are going to think its okay to be on drugs and intoxicaded because they wont have to worry about there driving.
This is just not well what so ever. There so many things wrong with this idea it can cause many problems. Many people are going to take advantage of the car. There's some people that are responsible but theres also many people that aren't. | 4 |
8945fee | Limiting car usage would make a huge impact on the world today, cars are the cause for most of the 12 percent of greenhouse gas in the U.S, also by limiting cars people would buy less, and ride more, as well as clear the air their breathing on a daily basis.
First off, Cars are known for their release of gas into our atmosphere, making it warmer. According to Elizabeth Rosanthol of the New York Times in source one, cars are the main cause for up to 50 percent of the worlds greenhouse gas emission. Germany has taken an act to this issue and given up their cars. People who are caught driving can actually get a sitation and up to a 25 dollar fine. Which is definitely making an impact on our world today, and for the future.
To second that, limiting car usage would save citizens alot of money, like New Yorks new bike-sharing program for people trying to shift the driving population. This bike program has caused an enormous drop in percentage of people getting their license, because why get it when you can ride a bike? Teens in between 19 and 21 have also not made it a priority to get their license, because organizing their life around where they can walk or take public transport is alot cheaper and better for the environment.
Last but certainly not least, Paris has enforced a partial driving ban because of all the smog in their global city. Everyone was ordered to leave their vehicles at home, and the ones who disobeyed would get a 22 euro fine, or 31 dollars. Congestion went dont 60 percent in a five day period, making it less stressful for drivers or pedestrians to get to their destination. Diesal fuel was blamed for the smog and with 60 percent less cars clogging up the atmosphere it cleared up in a matter of time and effort.
Limiting car usage would have a bigger impact than you think, just by leaving your keys at home you could be saving or globe from greenhouse gas, saving your money, and saving your lungs from the harsh smog it causes in France. | 3 |
8947d0c | Imagine you are a teacher, you are in the classroom with your students and you just keep wondering what are they feeling, what are they thinking.
With the FACS (Facial Action Coding System) you can.
With the Facial Action Coding System you could know how your students feel about projects, assignments, and assignments on computers and laptops.
With this you can have their face scanned to find out their emotions and know how they feel about the things you are doing in class.
The FACS can even scan people faces from pictures. The FACS was created by Dr. Paul Eckman.
Dr. Paul Eckman coded the Facial Action Coding System with six basic emotions, happiness, suprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness.
The FACS was used to scan the Mona Lisa and it was said that she was eighty-three percent happy, nine percent distgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry. The FACS uses a 3-D computer model of the face which has all 44 major muscles in the model. People observe these muscles to be able to tell whether or not somone is being truthful or isn't being truthful. These muscle clues are used to spot when a "smiling" politician or celebrity isn't being truthful.
The FACS would be very valuable to students in the classroom mainly because if a student were getting bored or unamused on an online assignment then there could be a program that will change the lesson up and go about teaching it a different way that is more interesting, fun, and how the students will like it. | 2 |
894d76a | Most people have seen the mysterious face on planet Mars. There are many possibilities of how that landform got there. Many people in the world believe it came from aliens or some other species. You can think that, but really there is no possible way an alien could have made that. I'm going to explain to you, why that can't be possible.
On the planet Mars, landforms like these form all of the time. People make big deals out of stuff like this, because they are curious just like you. That is why there are movies, books, and magazines about the face. If that was an alien marking, we would have found more evidence about it. Finding the face is very difficult, because of all of the wispy clouds. If there really were aliens, wouldn't they be making more markings? Unfortunatley they haven't, so there is no acutal proof that an alien made this landform.
When we did our research, the landform is actually a butte or mesa. Those landforms are common around the American West. People overthink these situations, and automatically assume that an alien created this. Anything is possible, but when we were searching for the face, it was a cloudy day on Mars. That could have caused the clouds, to make the face appear. The face could have also been the molten rock from lava, and caused it to form. There are many possible ways, but not the way of aliens.
No one has acutal proof of aliens. There has never been one that we have caught. No one has any information on them, or what the alien looks like or how thier personality is. We have no records on any type of alien, and no one else does either. Just like there is no proof an alien made that face on Mars. You can't assume some other life form made a face on another planet. People make quick opinions, and people all over the world will believe it when they have no information about it.
Mars is a very interesting planet, and suprises us very much. Since the first picture was taken in 1976, and then the last one was in 2001, why haven't we seen any aliens? That is why there was no acutal alien who created the face. If you worked at NASA, you would believe us too. I hope we have given you as much information you needed. Now you know there is no aliens up on Mars who created this. We hope you have reasoned your theory about The Face on Mars. | 4 |
894fbc9 | Sick of driving for long hours when attending places? Hate getting tickets for speeding or missing roads signs? For heaven sakes sometimes when driving legs, fingers, or other body parts can cramp up! Say good-bye to cars that require to have a human driver at all times, and say aloha to driverless cars! Driverless cars have pros like GPS navigation and they provide more safety for the people, but cons such as weather conditions or technical errors.
For the old folks, looking back into history television and cell phones were major and exciting changes. So now the young generation wonders what the next big thing will be. Driverless cars will perhaps be the next big thing? To me this is a fabulous and efficient idea! Personally, I dont know how many times someone has asked me for directions. My headache finally has come to an end! With driverless cars there is a built in GPS reciever using google if I recall back to the article "Driverless Cars Are Coming." Nobody will ever need help on how to get somewhere. Just tell them the place and time and the cars will get you there possibly without a humans help the whole car ride.
"Safety first!" is what they say now days. Watch for road signs and don't run the stop sign is commonly heard. Sometimes, when you go out late at night to a party, you have to watch for drunk drivers and be aware. Driverless cars have everyone covered. If everyone had a driverless car, the cars have the roads signs programmed in them. The drunk driver's wouldn't be the ones driving because the computer will. Many people often get tickets because they disobey roads signs and break the speed limit. How can you get in trouble for something you didn't do. Why don't we just add on the fact this will help you save money too! Man, just like McDonalds "Im lovin' it!"
Some people will obviously be against the idea of driverless cars. The "haters" can't dull the shine of such a magnificent idea. I can't dull the fact that their conterarguments are something to consider. The weather is a great example. In some environments snow and rain can cause wrecks if the car is not somehow modified that the roads are bad. I suggest four wheel drive on all driverless cars. Another con is the fact that we are relying on technology. What if technology fails or the computer system goes wrong. Can we live with such uncertainty? Spare ourselfs the time to review and fix today to die tomorrow in a possible wreck due to this fear. By 2020 hopefully as they said, these cons will be reviewed and more reliable by then!
Aloha to driverless cars! The cars sound like a spectacular idea! I'm very excited to see what these cars will do for society. They have advantages and disadvantages. In my opinion, with any product this will always be true. Driverless cars have pros like GPS navigation and they provide more safety for the people, but cons such as weather conditions or technical errors. | 3 |
8950f29 | In the story "A Cowboy Who Rode the Waves" Luke joins the Seagoing Cowboy program.
In this story it talks about what Luke does on his journey so, this is what were are going to talk about.
In paragraph 1 it says Luke's friend Don Reist invited Luke to go with him to the Seagoing Cowboy program and Luke did not turn the offer down because that was an opportunity of a lifetime.
In paragraph 4 it said that
Luke turned 18 before arriving in Greece, which ment he could be drafted for military service.
"When my drafy board learned that I was on a cattle-boat trip, they told me to just keep doing that for my service."
By the time he was discharged in 1947, Luke made nine trips-the most of any Seagoing Cowboy.
In paragraph 5 there were some reasons he should join the Seagoing Cowboys, and it said "The cattle-boat trips were an unbelievable opportunity for a small-town boy," he says.
"Besides helping people, I had the side benefit of seeing Europe and China.
But seeing the Acropolis in Greece was special,"
he says. "So was taking a Gondala ride in Venice, Italy, a city with streets of water."
Luke also toured an excavated castle in Crete and marveled at the Panama Canal on his way to China.
In paragraph 7 the way Luke's claim supported the outcome of the story.
Helping out on his aunt Katie's farm as a boy had prepared Luke for hard work, but not for the dangers at sea.
On his second trip, Luke served as night watchman.
His job was to check on all the animals every hour.
One rainy night, after making his hourly report to the captain, he slid down a slippery ladder on his backside.
Luke's heart raced as he shot feet first toward an opening on the side of the ship.
A small strip of metal along the edge stopped his slide, keeping him from flying overboard into the dark Atlantic.
He was happy to be alive.
But he could not work for a couple days because of cracked ribs.
My conclusion of the story is in paragraph 9 when it says, But being a Seagoing Cowboy was much more than an adventure for Luke Bomberger.
It opened up the world to him.
"I am grateful for the opportunity," he says.
"It made me more aware of people of other countries and their needs."
And that awareness stayed with him, leading his family to host a number of international students and exchange visitors for many years. | 1 |
8951a7f | What is the face on Mars? The face of Mars is called a mesa which is a type of landform.
Many people believe that this landform wasn't a creation of Mars or mother nature, but others may beileve other wise. This creation has many facts to back up its existence such as a spacecraft watching it at all time, no life has been found, and how could they have created it. So in all alians could'nt have build such a formation only Mars her self could have.
Spacecrafts have help us with so many thing when it come to the topic of outerspace. These technological pieces of art help us find spots to land, help use to see whats the aera is like and so on. But one thing the space craft has proven is that aliens doent exist on mars. The Viking
1 was taking photos at all times of the surface of Mars, so how could have thes so called 'aliens' make it. This question is simple because they couldn't. And based on the information there is no one on Mars so how could it have been.
Mars is a planet not suitable to sustain life on his. Mars does not have suitable breathing air so the likely hood of life beeing there is slim. Most people think aliens have created this hugh structer, but even if there was life on mars how could they have created this structer. Building a structure of this size would take a long period of time that the spacecraft would have eventualy picked up. And by not haveing the right equepment the 'aliens' couldnt have done it.
Building a big structure like this would take time, but would also take a lot of heavy lifting. This landformation is to big to becreated by hand or by hands. The only real logical way that this structure could have been created is by technology, and the only technology even close to Mars is the spacecraft the Viking 1. So it would be impossible for any thing to build soemthing of that size in that amout of time with little resources.
There is a possibility that there could have been something else that created this structure. But we cant look over the fact that there was been no finding of life on Mars. This structures is called a mesa and earth as countless of them so to see one on Mars couldnt be that much of a shocker. And the face appears because of indents in the rock that are slowly going away. So in all its very unlikely that aliens created this landform.
Aliens couldnt have build such a creation only Mars her self could have. This is proven on the information about the spacecraft, how theres no life on Mars, and the creation of it all disprove the fact that aliens could have build this landform. So now hopefully you know who didnt create these wonderus landform of Mars. | 4 |
8951f27 | There are many reasons why scientists suggest that studying Venus is a worth pursuit despite the danger it presents. The author uses alot of information to support the ideas. In the passage the authors talk about why studying Venus is worthy to study no mater how dangerous it can be. The author talks about how Venus is the most like earth planet in the solar system, how Venus could have supported various forms of life, just like earth, and also how venus is dangerous. The author supported the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers well and effectively because he supported his facts with scientist knowledge.
In this passage there are many facts that the author added to explain why studying Venus is worthy even though there are alot of dangerous stuff in that planet. One of those facts the author gave that came from scientists knoledge is "astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most earth-like planet in out solar system." The author is adding astronomers thoughts and knowledge to implement that his facts are correct.
Also the author uses events and projects that are going on implementing that people still care about the study of Venus. In paragraph 7 it says "NASA is working on other approaches to studying Venus. For example, some simplified electronics made if silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such condition . The study of NASA is showing the audience thats is reading that there are scientists that are studing Venus because they do know that Venus is a vauliable subject to study. In the passage the author also adds that in order to study further there wll be people who will go to the planet because resarchers dont have the rock and gas to study and they will go to collect those objects.
Another thing that the author did to support that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents is the facts he gives about how similar Venus is from Earth. In the passage it says "Venus was probably covered largely with ocens and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth" the passage also says "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."
In conclution the auhor suggestions that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents is well explained because the author used information from scientists, astronomers, and the NASA. The author also used the thoughts from these knowledable people to support his idea. The author supports his ideas by adding information that gives his idea truth and validity. The author also adds some facts that go against his idea such as explaining why Venus is such a dangerous place. All of the author's work balences out to make his idea understandabe and thoughtful. | 3 |
8953145 | For many years countries like the United States, France, and Germany idolized the cars that they managed to manufacture. This so-called "love affair" between people and their cars, though, has started to diminish, and it may be for the better. In the past, the people who owned the prettiest, loudest, and coolest cars considered themselves to be at the top of an automobile social structure, but now, new generations are starting to move away from buying cars. They've resorting to walking, bicycling, or taking a form of public transport. Sure, owning cars may make you "better" than everyone else, but at what cost?
Carbon dioxide emissions are at an all-time high, meaning that cars are harming the world more than helping it.
Yes, cars will be continue to be seen as cool, and owning cars will continue to be seen as cool, but nevertheless, with green house gases emitted from the tailpipes of cars ripping holes in the Earth's atmosphere, cars seem to be more of an impediment to the cause than an improvement.
Countries in Western Europe such as Paris and Germany have recognized that the exponential amounts of smog produced by cars are becoming dangerous. Legislators everywhere are taking cautious steps towards eliminating the gases that have a choke hold their cities. An official of the Transportation for America, David Goldberg says "All of our development since World War II has been centered on the car, and that will have to change," (Par. 7, Rosenthal). Cities in Paris and Germany are adopting a similar idea- developing cities than have a ban cars.
Vauban, Germany is one of these cities, dicouraging their 5,500 residents to give up their cars, charging them $40,000 to be able to park in one of the two garages in the city. As a result of these rules, 70% of the families that live in Vauban don't own a car, and 57% sold a car in order to live there (Par. 3, Rosenthal). The citizens are reported to be happier and less tense without a car, claiming that cars were the cause of their stress.
Communites like Vauban are set up in a way that makes life easy for the car-less citizens. In this approach, stores and offices are placed within walking distance from the houses, rather than in malls along some distant highway (Par. 6, Rosenthal). This has effectively reduced the amount of emissions of green-house gases drastically in Germany, and other countries around the world are starting to adopt Vauban's basic precepts in an attempt to make cities more compact (Par. 6, Rosenthal).
Paris, France is one of these cities that is revolutionizing its transportation. Paris has more smog than any other European counry, with 147 micrograms of particulate matter in the air, compared to 79.7 micrograms in London (Par. 17, Duffer). The smog rivaling that of Beijing, China, attempts were made by the government to reduce this smog, fining motorists for two days if they were found using their cars. France, having tax policies that favored the use of diesel over regular gas, blamed diesel fuel for it's record pollution levels.
Bogota, Colombia ran into a similar problem with it's high numbers of carbon dioxide emissions. The country has developed an atmosphere improvement campaign in the 1990's, constructing hiking and bicycle paths to encourage people to go "car-free". For the Day Without Cars, alternative transportation like taxis, buses, and bicycles are promoted, and violators that use their cars on this day are fined $25. Despite the constant rain, participants still turned out, claiming that "It's a good oppurtunity to take away the stress and lower air pollution," (Par. 24, Selsky).
Other cities in Colombia have joined the event such as Cali and Valledupar. The mayor of Asunción, Paraguay, hearing about the revolutionary event says "These people are genertaing a revolutionary change, anf this is crossing borders," (Par 26, Selsky). Since the Day Without Cars' institution, parks and sports centers have prospered, sidewalks and roads have been repaved, and traffic congestion has been dramatically reduced (Par. 28, Selsky). The appeal of car culture is decreasing, and it has effected countries all over the world.
An "incipient shift" in American's behavior over the last few years sugests that the American people are driving less, buying fewer cars, and getting fewer licenses every year (Par. 29, Rosenthal). The number of miles driven by Americans peaked in 2005, and has been diminishing steadily after that. Due to the recession, the majority of Americans couldn't afford to buy new cars, meaning that less people were driving.
Mimi Sheller, a sociology professer states that, "Different things are converging which suggests that we are witnessing a long-term cultural shift," (Par. 35, Rosenthal). What she says is true; carpooling, van and public transportation services, and bike-sharing programs are the most populat they've ever been. Shifts in the population of drivers may accelerate the current trend, and the "cash-strapped" Americans that can't afford a car may never actually have to buy one.
The teenage and young adult population has been affected by this cultural shift aswell, with many teenagers not bothering to get a liscence. They figure out other ways to get around, and revolve their schedules arounf where they can walk or which friend they can ride with. Driving by young people is at an all-time low, dropping by 23% between 2001 and 2009 (Par. 41, Rosenthal). Many young people are adopting the ideas that owning, or even driving vehicles is impractical, or even undesirable. This mind-set, in turn, is reducing green house gas emissions unintentionally.
Over the years car and culture trends have changed multiple times, and this trend occurring now is probably the best one yet. Reducing carbon dioxide and green house gas emissions is very important, and this current philosophy and outlook on cars is aiding the elimination of those harmful gases. "Pedestrain, bicycle, private cars, commecial and public traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emissions and improve safety." (Par. 43, Rosenthal). Overall, this idea is helping the Eath, unlike the many ideas before it. Limiting car use has had a positive effect on the world, and has been advantageous in many countries in helping them revitialize their cities. | 3 |
8955592 | The technology that they are starting to use to see people different emotion can help lots of people out when they think they don't have emotions. The software would be great for people when what to know the percents of there emotion and what they show every day. Computers show be allowed to read the emotions of the student in from of them so that maybe the computer can help.
An example of why they should be allowed is because the computer just doesnt scan just a few it scans all 44 muscles in your face. It allows the computer to maybe bring something up to you to realise that maybe this is something that i need to look into for maybe fun or help. Its helps the students outs when they are trying to figure out what they can do to help with each emotion you have.
Another reason why computer show be allowed to scan emotions is because the software can identify mix emotion. Its said by Dr. Huang," The facial expression for each emotion is universal even though individual often show vary degree of expression." The software uses video imagery, the emtion-recognition software track there facial movement in a real face or a painted face.
Therefore computer should be used to scan students emotions just so maybe is its really bad the school can do something for that student and get them the help they need. This would be alot helpful if computer could help or tell the school whats students emotions actaul are and what the percents is. | 2 |
