No not really that has nothing to do with the classroom and a lot of kids feel the same in a classroom. The kids in a classroom that i see or seat in are mostly bored or tired,but some kids are awake and have their eyes on the board or teacher to learn.
I think this would be a waste of time in the class unless you are useing youing it on little kids. Most of the older kids are way past a computer that can show a happy or sad face . I have a fine time talking to people in the real world not a computer,if a computer made a weird face at me i would probalby get up and walk away from it. This is kind of dumb i think you should be able to know or ask some one about their feelings in the real world not on the computer pull up a weird face to show how they feel. I strongley dislike this in a lerning zone because then how are kids to know how other people feel without the computer telling them,with a happy,sad,and mad face coming up on the screen. This is somthing a human should know how to tell human feelings. | 1 |
In the atricle "Making Mona Lisa Smile" by Nick D'Alto, He tells us that new facial emotion technology is being developed. Technology like this would be valuable in the classroom because technology like this would tell us what a person's emotional expression. Technology like this can stop bad things that are caused by hate and sadness, like suicide.
The technology will create a 3-D computer model of the face being scanned. It will can the 44 major muscles in the human face. Muscles such as the frontalis pars lateralis muscle convays the emotion of being surprised, by raising the eyebrows. The human will convey many emotions at once, so by using video imagery, the software will be able to track the facial movements. The units created by the facial expressions will be compared to a face that show no emotions. But, humans can do the same emotions calculations on a regular basis by looking at a friend that is sad or mad, but it'd be difficult to explain the facial features being conveyed at certain time. A classroom computer will be able to scan a childs face and see if the student
is bored or
confused, then the computer would act like a human instructor and modify the lessons to make it easier or less-boring to the student.
Technology like this would be benefical to the classroom, because the computer can make certain school lessons less boring and more helpful to students that don't understand. Some students won't understand a certain subject on the first time. The student will need more involvment to further explain a subject to a confused student. So technology would be useful to the classroom. | 2 |
This story is talking about venus in the challenge trying to exploring it its like its hard trying to exploring it because it got all these things wrong with it like its close to the sun in everybody know if you get to close to the sun your going to die but its really talking about how making it simple for even an amateur stargazer to spot venus however this nikname is misleading since venus is actually a planent if you didnt know. in our solar system venus is the second planet from our sun. while venus is simple to see from the distant but sfe vantage point of earth is has proved a very challenging place to examine more closely. often referred to as earth's "twin", venus is the closest planet to earth in terms of density and size and occasionally the closest in distance too. Earth,Venus,and Mars, our other planetary neighbor,orbit the sun at different speeds. these differences in speed mean that sometimes we are closer to mars and other times to Venus. because Venus is sometimes right around the corner in space terms humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on this cloud draped world. Each previous mission was unmanned and for good reason since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a fwe hours. Maybe this issue explains why not single spaceship ha touched down on venus in more than three decades. Numerous factors contribute to Venus's reputation as a challenging planet for humans to study despite its proxinity to us. A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. ven more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere. On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees fahrenhit and the atmospheric pressure in 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet. | 1 |
The Face wasn't created by aliens, it was a natural landform and we have a prove. The picture from new high-resolution images and 3D altimetry from NASA's Mars Global survey spacecrasft reveal the Face on Mar for what it really is a mesa. When the picture appeared it was a landform and when we look at it there weren't face. There weren't any eye, nose, lip or any kind of thing human would have . At first, I also though it was a Face until I saw the picture and really compare it to something similiar on Earth.
People could said it was an alien marking were hidden by haze but the thing is if there were object in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramind or even small shacks, you could see what they were. The picture show the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa landforms common around the Amerian West. "It reminds me most of the Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho" says Garvin. " That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars."
The Face really isn't the Face, It's the landform. Sometime people got
carried away with things that they forget the truth. It easy to get fool thinking it was created by aliens but the truth always reveal itself. | 1 |
If you dont have a car you will reduce greenhouse gas. it will rudeuce accitents. less people willl be fined so tht means more money for you. congestion was down 60 percent so thats good in the capital of france after five days of intensifying smog. cold nights and warms days caused the warmer layer of air to trap car emissions. the united states has a program called the environmental protoction agency is promting car reduced communities and, ligislators are satrting to act.
disel fuel was blamed since france has a tax poloicy that favors disel over gasoline diseles make up 67 percent of vichles in france compared to a 53.3 percent averqage of desiel engines in the rest of wester europe according to reuters. Delivery companies coplianed of lost revenue while exceptions were made for plug in cars hybrids and the cars carrying three or more passengers. public transit was free of charge from firday to manday according to the bbc.

Have you seen the Grand Canyon? Then you probably know that it was not Pual Bunyon who made it, water carved out the Grand Canyon. Nature makes all of the landmarks that we have. Nature can also make landmarks on other planets as well. This is why the Face on Mars has to be a natural formation.
To begin with, I know that the face is a natural landform because it resembles something in the United States. Chief scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program, Jim Garvin, thought that the Face resembles Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho. He also said it was a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face of Mars. This shows that even one of the top leaders of NASA's Mars Exploration Program believes that this Face is only a natural landform. Besides, NASA would want to find aliens to prove that there is life on Mars.
Equally as important, nobody has proved that there is any other living thing on a planet except for Earth. Mars is too far away from the sun, and there is very little to no oxygen on the surface of Mars. Even if there is life on Mars, it would be mircoscopic organisms, and they could not build a large structure like the Face. This is another reason why the Face is a natural landform.
And finally, if the Face was made by aliens, then wouldn't there have to be some kind of civilization or living area. The aliens would probably want to be somewhat close to their great formation. However, nobody has located any type of civilization on Mars. With the more powerful that NASA had on the latest probe, they said that you could have see things as small as a shack. Plus, if the aliens built one landmark, why not build another one, but nothing else out of the ordinary has been found by scientists. Lastly, nobody has seen a civilization, so the Face could not have been built by aliens.
In conclusion, there is no strong evidence that the Face on Mars is built by aliens. All the facts point to the idea that the Face is just a natural landform. Scientists took planty of pictures of the Face, trying to find whatever made the Face, but they have found nothing. Besides, there is a natural formation that resembles the Face which proves that they both probably formed the same way. Plus, NASA would want there to be living things on another planet besides Earth, but even they reject the idea that the Face was made by aliens. All this shows why the Face on Mars is only a natural landform. | 4 |
Driverless cars are becoming a thing of the future. Why is that? The world is upgrading itself. From people driving their own cars to the cars driving them. Now is that just plain laziness or is it something completely amazing.
Googles cofounder Sergey Brin envisions these driverless cars. he has a vision
where these cars rule the future. Now are these cars a good thing or a bad thing? Mr. Brin sees theese cars taking less fuel than the cars we use today, but would that really be the case? Would they really use less fuel? Driverless cars would probably use more fuel to keep the car going. How would the car know where you're going anyway? It's not you.
How would the car know exactly where to take you. By a
GPS? GPS's aren't always right, no matter if you even put in the right address. GPS'S can always get the adress wrong. Then where you be?
Are these driverless cars really a good thing for the future of the world? Do you think the worlds future should have driverless cars or do you agree that driverless cars are pure lazy. GPS's might not work. The car could break down on you easily. Is it reall a good thing to have driverless cars? | 1 |
Limiting Car Usage
Limiting car usage is a very good idea. It can save a lot of money, keep pollution from happening,and keep people safe. If more people tend to save money because of cars, then they can buy more stuff. If more people save the enviornment people can have fresh air to breath in. Multiple resources have been found to support the idea that limiting car use can save a lot of money and make the enviornment safer.
For example, "In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars" by Elisabeth Rosenthal, it states that "As a result of buying a parking space for $40,000, 70 percent of Vauban's families do not own cars, and 57 percent sold a car to move here. When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way," said Heidrun Walter." This quote explains the troubles and tension that one has to deal with when having a car. "In previous bills, 80 percent of appropriations have by law gone to highways and only 20 percent to other transport." When Vauban, Germany had cars, their bill went up higher for highways instead of other transports. People should start to use other means of transport instead of cars.
In "Paris bans driving due to smog" by Robert Duffer, Robert helps explain the reason why driving should be banned. "Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city." Paris is very smart to do that, because cars create pollution. The way that they partially banned driving is that "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." Atleast paris partially protected the eviornment instead of the whole enviornment having to be in pollution.
In "The End of Car Culture" by Elisabeth Rosenthal, the author supports the idea of limiting car usage for the concern of safety. Safety is a really important thing in life. Cars can limit the danger of getting in a car accident. "He proposed partnering with the telecommunications industry to create cities in which pedistrians, bicycle, private cars, commercial and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emissions, and improve safety." If people did not have cars, then nobody would have to worry about accidents and their safety.
In conclusion, limiting driving and the usage of cars can improve the world. It can make it a safer enviornment, safe money, and stop pollution. These evidences from the excerpts can prove that limiting car usage is a really good idea. | 3 |
Would it be fun to be able to know what emotion or emotions others are feeling, stictly off of facial muscle movement? Yes, it would be quite interesting to have the ability to have some insight on what other people are thinking and feeling. Although the Facial Action Coding System is a very sharp piece of modern technology, is it truly a valuable invention? Yes, it is impressive and intelligent, but it does not seem to serve a larger purpose within a classroom enviornment. Thus, although the Facial Action Coding System is an impressive piece of modern technology, it is uneeded in a classroom enviornment because it is impractical, unecessary, could potentially be very stressful.
To begin, the Facial Action Coding System is impractical in todays society, especailly within a classroom enviornment. In the text it says that, "your home PC can't handle the complex algorithms used to decode Mona Lisa's smile." So, in order to place this cutting-edge technology within schools would be a huge financial burden. Most schools only contain practical technology due to a strict, government driven budget. Attempting to fit such a modern piece of technology into the school system would not be practical, and in many cases, it would not be possible either. If the Facial Action Coding System was put into school systems, it could have to possibility to help decode bad mental health in some cases, but it could also cause the government to go even deeper into debt. Thus, because the Facial Action Coding system is predicted to be incredibly expensive, it is not a practical item for a classroom enviornment.
Next, the Facial Action Coding System may be neat, but it is also unecessary. According to the text, it has the capability of showing when "a smile is not being truthful," but lie-detector tests have already been invented for that. The article also states that,"A classroom computer could recognize whne a student is becoming confused or bored," yet this is very evident in the body language of a student. Teachers do not need need a software that tells them that their students are not interested in their teaching material because it is shown through their actions. For example, if the student has their head down, is engaging in their own conversation during the lesson, or tends to sleep during class, this portrays to the teacher that they are bored or uninterested. Therefore, because there are already similar inventions and because observance of body language is a very practical tool, it is unecessary to use the Facial Action Coding System within a classroom enviornment.
Lastly, the Facial Action Coding Sytem has the potential of being very stressful to a student. A computer system that is able to publicly expose ones emotions could stir up fear and anxiety that was not within them before. Someone who has is struggling with their mental health does not needed to be reminded of this through their test results, especially while at school. There are plenty of other treatment options for issues like these. The Facial Action Coding System would strip students of emotional privacy, which could potentially stir up stress within a student. Considering that students are already under enough stress with standardized testing, the pressure to perform well in academics and athletics, and to fit in, they do not need an added stress in their life. In conclusion, the Facial Action Coding Sytem would do more harm than good and could potentially damage the mental health of the students.
Overall, the concept of a the Facial Action Coding System is very captivating and intriuging, but it does not have many practical uses. It would place a financial burden among the school systems and could potentially stress students even more than they currently are. Thus, the Facial Action Coding Sytem would not be valuable wthin the clasroom setting. | 4 |
Everyone has their own opinion on the way our Presidents are elected. Some say they would prefer popular votes rather than electoral votes, while others believe we should keep it the same way. I believe that it is more fair and less kayotic having popular votes rather than electoral votes. I believe that popular votes keep it fair when it comes to choosing a Presidant and does not cause a lot of fights. Although I believe this some say that electoral voting is also safe and keeps people under control.
Some United states citizens, including me, believe popular votes are more fair and are more of peoples choices. Lots of citizens believe that with electoral votes it's not fair because with electoral votes candidates don't spend time in all the states, some states don't even see campaign ads. Also it's fair because that means that lots of people truly want that candidate for Presidant. Just like when Al Gore won the popular votes, which mean more poeple like him and thought he would be a great President, lost the whole campaign cause of electoral votes. Citizens also get more say if it were for just popular votes and with elctoral votes not so much because even if their is a tie people don't choose, House of Representatives do.
As for others they are completly against popular votes and think that electoral votes are more safe and calming for many reasons. It keeps it fair because it isn't based off which candidate put more comersuals out there or who people know more. With electoral voting you are voting for the electors in The Electoral College who then vote themsevles and are then are counted by Congress. Also with electoral votes not lots of arguing could happen. With popular votes people may begin to argue about who deserved it more cause more peple knew him rather than the other candidate. "Also it more fair because each state has their own group of electors so they know who is better for their state." (source 1, paragraph 5)
Although everyone ahs their opinions I believe that popular votes are a better way to vote rather than electoral voting because it's more fair to citizens and less kayotic. Their are many facts and evidence in this world and i history to show that popular voting is more aficient than electoral voting. | 2 |
The scientists and Engineers of today have all been working toward a goal and that is to create driverless cars. Google specifically has cars that drive independently for miles without any issues and putting it like that it sounds like the next bet thing since the computer. Nevertheless, One must think of the cons to this specific development and looking closer its obvious that the downs outway the ups. Continuing ths project is a public hazard.
People believe that having a car that requires no human intellect is the next best thing. However, every machine has a meltdown or malfunction so why would the driverless cars be any different. If the driverless car is developed it could work, but if it malfunctions on the road and theirs no way to take control it would lead to a crash worse than any created by irresponsible drivers.
Add this possible outcome to the amount of cash, the millions of dollars that will be required to support this project and it seems unreasonable.
This driverless cars idea also feeds into the possibility of a future where humans become lazy slobs. Kids these days already spend more than half their days staring at a computer screen so why make it even worse? If this project is a success then drivers ed classes will be pointless.
People will be completly relient on machines if this "progress", continues.
On the other hand Driverless cars could help lessen the damage. If this idea proves to be a success then it would iliminate irresponsible drivers. If a person didn't know how to drive right then the car self driven vehicle would control itslef. Car accidents could lessen and people would be safer. Also the project plans for these cars to use half the amount of gas used now so it would better clear up the smog in the atmosphere. Despite these amazing pros it would still require alot of work and cash to achieve this.
Overall this project seems a bit too risky to be labeled as imrovement. So many different improvements are being made that no one notices the conciquences following behind them. With every machine built humans rely on them a little more. People are slowly loosing their independence and that thought alone is disturbing. This should be a reminder that sometimes more isn't always better and less work isn't always progress. | 3 |
The use of technology that can read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable so the students can learn, or understand the subject better by using facial recongnition.
The essay states that "Most human communication is verbal, including human communication" so when someone is communicating their emotions with another person, it might not be true. Dr. Huang predicts that " A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored. Then is could modify the lesson." modifying the lesson to the students content facial expression, could make the student understand the things better. For example, on a website when an ad appears, if you smile, "a similar ad may follow. but if you frown, the next ad will be different." the same thing can happen on a classroom computer to help the student.
In conclusion, having a classroom computer that recognizes your facial expressions is valuable and may really help a student understand or learn something in class easier. | 1 |
I belive that they should change the elections to elections by popular vote for the president of the United States.
The electoral College consists of 530 electors, tey choose the president by a vote in congress or "qualified" citizens. A majoriy of 270 electoral votes are required to elect a president, therefore in my opinion a popula vote would have mor meaning, beacause it's more people the vote would be chosen fr the mayority making the rest of the people satisfied. The number of citizens all togete versus the number of the electors at the Electoral College is superior; the people are te ones that follow the law might as well let them choose he president thats going to run the country and establish laws.
The electoral college system prevents us from voting for the presidet directly, instead they make us vote for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the pesident. For example if you were to live in Texas and wanted to vote for a president you'd have to vote for a slate of 34 elector of that political party that are pleged to him or her, on the off-chance that those electors won the statewide elections. The electors get picked at state conventions, the states party's central committee and sometimes the presidential candidates themselves. Also electos can be anyone not holding public office.
Furthermore the best argument against the electoral college is the disaster factor. Americans should consider themselves lucky that the 2000 disaster was he biggest crisis in elections that century since the system allows much worse. Consider the fact that the state legislatures are in a way responsible for piking electors and those elector could defy the will of the people back in 1960; what tells you that they stopped doing it?
The electoral college system has a lo of flaws and they can choose if they want o do what the peopl think is best or just take mater into their own hands and do as they plese.
In conclution its very clear that they should get rid of the electoral college and just let the peopl vote directly fo the president. That would cause less drama and would prevent fiascos in the elections. | 2 |
In the passage "Making Mona Lisa Smile" by Nick D'Alto. I belive that the new technology the Facial Action Coding System is valuable. It could help in schools by helping you not be so bored and confused. Also, it could help you tell how your friends are feeling, even when they are trying to hide their emotions.
This technology could be what schools need to keep their students awake and interacting. In the passage Dr. Huang says " A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored". If a computer could predict when a student was bored or confused and do something to change that it would change the amount of people who actually learn something drastically.
The software can help get rid of unwanted ads that annoy you and bring up the ones you like by something so simple. In the passage it says" If you smile when a Web ad appears on your screen, a similiar ad might follow. But if you frown, the next ad will be different." With the new software doing that it would save alot of frustration from having to click the x button on all the ads that you dont care for.
WIth the new technology it i that it is a benefit to our generation. All of the old paintings that we could look at and tell the mood, history teachers would have a field day. I belive that the new technology the Facial Action Coding System is valuable | 2 |
Imagine having a Facial Coding System computers that identify's yours or your classmates emotions. How would you feel about having this system in your classroom? Would it be weird? Would it be fun and intersting?
In my opinion it sounds like a pretty cool idea, but to have it in a classroom and know your classmates emotions sounds pretty wierd. Becaue I wouldn't like for my classmates to know what im feeling or my emotions at that time, that sounds pretty personal to me and I think thats giving to much information to your classmates. I mean I'm not saying its a bad thing for your classmates to know your emotions, but I honestly wouldnt like it.
Not only do I think its some what personal but it do sound pretty intersting at the same time. Like I think its cool that the teacher would know when you start feeling that the class is boring and the teacher can do somethung different and make it fun or change the way that he's teaching and do something else. Like that sounds pretty awesome, but other hen that I wouldn't like havving this type of system in my classroom.
Honestly having this system in my classroom its like a 50/50 percent because it sounds cool and everything, but at the sametime I don't like it because I wouldn't want my classmates knowing what I'm at that in the class because I don't people knowing my business only the people I truly trust. Thats another thing you might not talk to all the people in your classrooms and might not know them or trust them like that. For example, one day you could be sad and all your classmates are going to know and they might be asking you whats wrond and what if you don't want to talk about it.
All in all, I'm in a 50/50 chance it sounds fun and all that, but at the same time I dont want them knowing my business. | 2 |
I think the limiting for car usage is not right because if people want to drive they should be able to. Walking, and riding bicycles aren't fun you get tired really easy and have to stop but when you are in a car you don't get tired and you don't have to stop you just keep driving.
Driving a car is easier because when you are late for work or getting somewhere you can get there faster. If you are walking or riding a bike your not going to get there on time a car is faster and quicker to get to places without any trouble. Gas could be high but it is worth it because a lady with three kids could be rushing trying not to be late for work and trying to get her kids ready for school so instead of walking them to school or riding bikes she could just drive them to school and not be late for work. Driving a car is so much easier and quicker.
Traffic with cars is bad but when you need to get places you can drive a car instead of taking the bus that has to stop ten different places. Cars are being banned in Columbia and you can only ride buses or taxis. Taxis can get you where you need to just as fast as your own car can but a bus couldn't because there is always people in front of you that have to get off in different places. They made two seated bikes just for this man and his wife to get around because they didn't want them driving there cars.
Teenagers get there license at a young age now and they start driving. They drive to school and to practices and everywhere else but it could be dangerous because some teenagers just like to goof and round and try to act all bad and then end up hurting them self and somebody else and it would be their fault. Some teens just decide not to get them because it is safe just to ride with their parents instead of them driving and having the chance to get in a wreck and hurt their self and then there car be ruined and won't be able to get a new one. Most teens love to drive because it's fun and they like getting out on there own. Teens like to go out and hang with there friends or go get something to eat. Other people are more worried about there job and social life then trying to get a car so they can drive all the time.
In conclusion, a limiting on car usage should be that they shouldn't have a limiting on car usage because most people are late for stuff when they don't drive there car. Walking and driving a car is way different a car is way faster then walking and trying to get to places on time. That is my opinion on limiting to car usage. | 1 |
Finding a rock-like formation on Mars was one of the biggest dicscovories NASA has made. They first say it in a picture taken by one of their satlights called Viking 1.
The shadows over the object looked made the formation look like a human face. Scientist called this formation on the red plant Cydonia. The scientist said that the face was about 2 miles long. When NASA announcded this to the public they called it a huge rock formation. Later NASA started making conspiracy theorist. When NASA took their second picture the public waited till they announcded the picture. Later some of the people got in a fights saying that it was a Natural landformation or it was created by aliens.
The face is just a rock formation. When the Viking 1 took the picture it said that the shadows made the formation look like a face. Scientist confermed it was a Mesa. They said that the martian mesa was common enough around Cydonia. The third picture provide it was not a face their was nothing similar. NASA's people who spend the money really wished it was a ancient civilization on Mars. They thougth that you could not see some parts of the mesa is because haze was blocking some of it. The last time scientist looked into this they looked at the seroundings and could not find anything.
NASA is afriad of saying there is an ancient civilization, they are makeing conspiracy theorist to cover it up. Over time the dust on Mars could of covered up the the alien artifact. When they took a picture they said it looked like and Egyption Pharaoh. The people who took the pictures could have changed it to make it look like nothing was there. People believe that the fas was covered by haze and so you could not see it. The picture they took could have been from another mesa because the scientist say that it is not easy to get a picture of this. They also said that they can not always take a picture with it because it circles Mars.
The rock formation was not man made it was a landform. The only thing different about these is that they remind people of the Snake river Plain in Idaho. If there was and civilization we would have found more then just one formation. Every thing around the mesa is normal there is nothing different. Scientists used different sights and took pictures and they all look like a rock formation. There could have been somthing covered but not in that area. | 2 |
In this passage "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," I'll give the author a full credit for this assignment on how he describe Venus. The author gave a lot of detail about Venus. There is so many stuff I learned about Venus like it the hottest planet. The author really supported his ideas, sometimes it makes it intresting and sometimes it seems challenging to go to Venus. This author is so detail it like his counting 1 piece of a humans hair.
The author gave us so many detail about Venus. Venus planet surface temperature is an average of 800 degrees Fahrenheit, oooh man that hot. Also the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our planet, that a bit dangerouse because it could crush submarine underwater. This one is my favorite because it really intresting. Venus has high pressure and heat and the weather present erupting volcanoes, powerful eathquake, and frequent lightning stikes, I found that out really intresting because we don't that much here we will get them like once in 2 month. The author gave us so many detail I could just keep going, that was just 1/4 of the detail.
If you wanna learn about Venus, this is where you should start reading. I say that because just by reading this I get the hang of it. Some things I learned are, Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system. Here is something really intresting Mercury is the closest to the sun but still, Venus is way hotter I find that out pretty intresting. We know the sun is really hot, totally if you get really close to it. Also Venus is a challenging planet for humans to study because of the planet's conditions.
The author support his title "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" by giving us detail about how dangerous it is. The author just doesn't say it dangerous or challenging. It giving reasons how it dangerous, like no spacecraft survuded landing more than a few hour. The clouds are highly corrosive sulfuric acid in the atmosphere. Also like i said it the hottest planet in our solar system. No human can really live long in a hot planet. If people lived in Venus they will have trouble living their because there is a lot of storm, that don't really often happens in Earth.
Also solar power would be plentiful, and radition would not exceed in Earth's level.
In conclusion, the author has supported his title with ideas. The author gave plenty of detail about Venus and how it challenging. There is so many stuff I learned about Venus like it the hottest planet. The author really supported his ideas, sometimes it makes it intresting and sometimes it make it seems challenging to go to Venus. I love how the author just gives spectacle detail about Venus. | 2 |
The advantages of limiting car usage can help in many ways. Limiting cars usage can help gobal warning, traffic, even help families. Cars help us tranport our self or things to places but the problems that come with having a car, can be stressful.
According to the Article Car-free day in spinning into a big hit in Bogota, Bogota, Colombia is trying to spread its Car Free program to other countries. The Colombia Car Free has help business people relied their stress and help lower the air pollution. The Bogota program promote people to hike, bike, skate or take a buses to work during the Car-Free day. The results from the Car-free day had dramatically cut traffic and new restaurants and upscale shopping districts have increased. This shift in driving cars had lowered in the United States. According to the The End of Car Culture, Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by. This mean that more citizens are using public tranportation more then driving their Mobile vehicle. This is woven to a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emissions and improve safety, according to Chairman of Ford Motor Company. The results are that there are less pollution in the air because of citizens not wanting a vehicle or licenses.
The limiting of car usage is really working. That citizens in different countries are happy with the results of the Car-free day. Its not just help the Countries it helping the people that live in thoses countries. | 1 |
In the world today many products that companies come out with includes innovative technology that enters the homes of millions world wide. It is technology that in the past, was only imagined on tv shows and movie screens. Driveless cars are one of those technologies that has been imagined time and time again but it has yet to actually become a fully functioning reality. Although, it should be and with companies like google and tesla already at the forefornt of this innovation it dosen't seem too far fetched that in a few years
people might just see one of those driveerless cars on the road and It would probaly benefit us as a society.
The idea of a driveless car isn't new
in fact " In the lat 1950s, general motors created a concept car" for it. and even though it wasn't really the car that was smarter and more of the roads the idea was still there. The only diffrences between the idea of driverless cars then and now is that the cars weren't nearly as smart as cars now in which many have computers and then they most likely weren't thinking about the idea of climate change which now is a huge consideration. Not only would driverless cars make it easier on the driver, but
it would also make it easier on the enviorment. because the car would most likely need massive amounts of energy they would also most likely be complety electric or a hybrid saving the money of the driver since they aren't spending it on gas and cutting back fuel emmisions.
Many critics of the car would say it is unsafe to have on the road because the computer wouldn't be able to understand the traffic laws however " Presently, traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver" but If the laws were altered to include driverless cars then the only issue would be faliure of the technology. However, if the cars are designed properly that would most likely be at or below the rate of human error. which means it could prevent major accidents from happening speciffically those occuring due to drunk driving.
There is still a lot of time before driverless cars are realesed and is considered safe to use in america. But the idea of the future where the driver isn't actually required to do anything is excitiing. It will one less inovation that is only imagined and not reality. | 3 |
In this New Age People are starting to realize that drving car is really bad for the enviroment. They realize that there is a better way to get to point A to point B. Alternative transportation. For example In Vauban, Germany Residents of this city has made this city into a Car Free city. They use bicycles or they walk to their destination. this has reduced the air pollution of their area immensily. This has been a growing trend in Europe and it has been getting heard about around the world. They call it Smart Planning.
In Paris, France The population has reached record high polution for the amount of driving. Paris enforced a partial driving ban to try to clear the emmisions and pollution of Paris. On Monday people with even numbered liscence plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or pay a 31 dollar fine. The same would apply the next day to the odd liscence plates. This was very effective because about 60 percent of traffic was reduced in Paris andafter a week or so the smog was reducing and the city of Paris was becoming cleaner.
Another example is in Bogota, Colombia. They have a catr free day every year where evrybody in the capitol city would not be allowed to drive a single car except for city buses and taxis. Every body was crowding the streets with bicycles or walking to where they had to go. Everybody seemed happy and relaxed. Other neighboring major cities in Colombia had started to do it to and it is sparking a revolution across the whole continent to make a free car day. Many recreation centers and shopping centers have risen and flourished. New sidewalks and roads have been reeplaced with new even surfaces and it just keeps growing every year.
As a result there are many ways to change this unsafe enviroment of car pollution. And reducing Car emmisions will be a huge difference in our enviroment. But everything starts out with ourselves to make a change in the world and if we can work together to make this change the world will become a better, and safer place for us. | 1 |
Autonomous cars is a big deal for people in this time of tecnoligy.
Also there is people that do not think briveles cars are not safe do be in the road. Me personaly think that cars should not be produce by conpanyes. becouse the car has a lot of bad functions. The reaoson that the car has a lot of problems becouse it is program to follow all the laws, which could couse many asidents. One of the reasons is that not every peorson is goin to have a driverlees car.
That couses a problem between the people becouse people do not follow the rules all the time and aoutonomous cars will go exacli at the speed limit or top if some one is crosing the road. My second reason it that the person that is in the driveless car can fall a sleep, and there could be something that the car can not do, and the owner wont react on time to take control and it could couse a big acident or evn the deth of many peple. Theose are some of the reasons why i do not think driverless cars should be produce becouse the car is not safe enought to be driving in the road and for the safti of other cevilians. What do you think? | 1 |
Diverless cars should be made and used. I say this because they are
much
more wiser and most cases when driving. They will not make the wrong turn if it has the directions of the place it is going. It can stop, brake, and accelerate by itself without the help of any humans. Driverless cars are not completley driverless because if a situation on the road occurs, the car will need the assistance of a human to get through the situation. these cars will not simply rely on itself for driving, but also the road. Thought the road system was too expensive, it could help the driverless cars. The cars are controlled wirelessly, but you can still be in control at any time of the car. Driverless cars should be used to help people who can't normally drive. This car is somewhat like a safe taxi without a driver. This car will make driving more easy, but will also allow the person in the car to be more cautious of their surrondings so that the driver can take over. The driverless car will make less mistakes than humans do on the road, such as speeding, making hte wrong turn, or running red lights. So in conclusion, I think that the driverless car should be developed and made. It will bring driving to a whole new world. | 1 |
You wake up one morning and you think about how when you first learned how to drive, you actually had to drive by yourself. There wasn't anyone or anything doing it for you. Times have changed and now you have something to help you drive, a driverless car. Sounds so futuristic, like something you saw in a cartoon when you were younger, right? Well, as you can tell from the passage "Driverless Cars Are Coming", driverless cars are going to become a thing regardless of what you think. It might not be soon, but it is coming one day. They might make a huge impact to where every family has a driverless car or a small impact to where only the rich can afford it.
I do think that driverless cars are something that might take over the whole world one day, and it might not be a horrible thing. Driverless cars are more of a safty percaution in the way it is set up, rather than just you sitting in a car not paying attention. You will still have control over the car, but you do not have to be in control the whole time. That is what I think is so great about them, you don't have to worry about not having control of the car. The sensors in the car can detect when danger might occur, and when that happens, the car starts to warn the driver. All though, there are still many bugs and flaws with the cars, they oviously need to get more into the laws and liabilties and how that will all work out.
Overall, I just really think that even if driverless cars aren't that big of a hit, it would be sort of like symbol to represent the time peirod of inovation and creation. Just thinking about how far technology is going really blows my mind. I would have never thought to belive that cars like this would be on the market in my lifetime. That is just so crazy. The times have clearly changed. I just cannot wrap my head around the idea, epecially when I can remember a time when casset players where still in cars. Driverless cars honestly sound very safe and helpfull, especially for young drivers. Having that extra support can really prevent accidents from happening. | 2 |
You should come and participate in the Seagoing Cowboys Program. There is alot of intresting stuff to do there. So just read a few facts that will make you want to participate in the Seagoing Cowboys Program.
We get to take care of stuff like " The horses, young cows, and mulces that were shipped overseas." You get to go to many diffrent places. We get to go to an " excavated castle in Crete and marveled at the Panama Canal." We get to help lots of people that need it. It takes a long time to go over the Oceans. " It took about two weeks to cross the Atlantic Ocean from the eastern cost of United States and a month to get to China. You have alot of stuff to do to keep you busy. If you get hurt you will still get to do some fun stuff. " Table-tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and games also helped pass by the time."
So you should participate in the Seagoing Cowboys Program. It is a lot fun and there is a lot to do. We need you. Now do you want to participate in the Seagoing Cowboys Program? | 1 |
My agrument for this passage is that although theses cars seem to be really nice and might help save people from accidients and save money they may not be the best option. Driving is a very serious thing and in this agrument I'm going to tell why i think that they shouldn't be made. Driving can always need improvement why not keep the cars we have and help them out and keep people driving what they own. Plus money is a very important aspect in this agrument, having a driveless car can cost lots of money.
People who drive can say that they don't like driving all the time but most can say that they enjoy getting to drive if we have cars that are driveless that takes away the fun that people have. If we make these driveless cars that means that the newer generations with not know how to drive cars. People will not want ot get put as much if we have driveless cars. I don't think that people have the money to spend on these cars to drive them so we may have lots of people walking if we were to switch to these cars.
If driveless cars are made they is a very big possibility that people will not want to pay attention to the roads and that will cause more accidents than what there already is. Even though the drive is suppose to watch the road when in the car still doesn't mean that people wont think that the car can do it all on its own. They will not watch the road as much as what they do now and it can cause wrecks that are not needed.
Having drivers have a driveless car is not a good idea because they willl think it is okay to play on their phones and mess around in the car. The car may have antilock brakes but that does not mean that the car is completely save for being accident free. If we have teenagers that are driving in these cars they might think that it is expectable to play around even more than what they do now. Maybe adding things to cra sthat we have now and giving them some newer safety assets might be the solution to our problem. That might be a soultion to our probelm of accidents and it will still allow people to drive.
Another thing to think about is the laws that will have to change for these people to make these cars. Like speed limits and how the car will cars handle traffic in large cities. We alos have to think about if they are really a energy saver car or if it is just as bad as the cars we are using.
In conclusion, I think that this car shouldn't be developed for the reasons of safety. This car may have some very nice aditions to it but we still have to think about whats best for the drivers. The cars that we drive now can use some new technogly but having a driverless care kind of seems a little to extreme. People love driving so why not keep the cars we have today and just keep inproving to make them better for us.
But i feel like before anyone makes thier minds up about whether we should or shouldn't uses these cars that are driverless there needs to be more research done and tests to see how these cars work. | 2 |
I think that we should keep the Electoral College but we could also change election by popular vote because there could be problems over the outcome of an Electoral College, the reason is that the winning candidate's share of the Electoral College invariably exceeds his share of the popular vote. The Electoral College requires a presidential candidate to have trans-regional appeal. A candidate with only regional appeal is unlikely to be a successful president. Voters in toss-up are more likely to pay close intention to the campaign, knowing that they are going to decide the election. The Electoral College avoids the problem of elections in which no candidate receives a majority of the vote cast. It also restores some weight in the political balance. There is pressure for run-off elections when no candidate wins a majority of the votes cast. The Electoral College method of selecting the president may turn off potential voters for a candidate who has no hope of carrying their state.
Each candidate running for President in your state has his or her own group of electoral. Most states have a winner-take-all system that awards all electors to the winning presidential candidate. Your states Certificates of Ascertainments are sent to the Congress and the National Archives as part of the official records of the presidential election. Voters can expect close election in which the popular vote winner could again lose the presidency. Under the electoral college system, voters don't vote for the president, but for electors, who in turn elect the president. The electors can be anyone not holding public office. The person who picks the electors in the first place depends on the state.
The argument against the electoral college is what we might call disaster factor. If there is a tie in the electoral vote, the election would be thrown to the House of Representatives, where state delegations vote on the president. Because each state casts only one vote. the electoral college is unfair to voters, because of the winner-take-all system in each state, candidates don't spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning, they only focus on the right races in the swing states. But each party selects a slate of electors trusted to vote the party's nominee, but it is entirely possible that the winner of the electoral vote will not win the national popular vote. The Elecotral college is widely regarded as an person or a thing that seems to belong to the past and not to fit in the present, it's a non- demogratic method of selecting a president that ought to be overruled by declaring the candidate who receive most popular votes the winner.
So i think we should keep electoral college because it's a process not a place. "The founding faters established it in the constitution as compromise between election of the president by a vote in Congress and election of the president by a popular vote of qualified citizens" (Source 1 paragraph 1). | 0 |
umm, maybe we can settle downoff the cars !!, i beleive that can be an good idea for citizens in the united states without cars this can be a better world for me and people in my community and my city , this can help reduce the amount of air pollution from cars and from other automobiles ,another way we can decrease the use of cars is by having a car-free week. these ways can make a big change in the way people use cars in thisx culture.
the reduce in car usage can help people from getting sick from trucks and cars from polluting the air, not only can people get sick but animals such as,dogs cats and some farm animals wat humans eat. the pollution in the air can cause plants to die what farm animals feed on,for example where i live i saw an horse suffering from dead plants. also, car pollution can sometimes cause crashes because of all the smoke from an bad engine or even car that fan can be over heated, for instance one time i was on my way to walmart on a very hot day , all of a sudden smoke started coming from my mom smoke pipe under the car, the cause of this was because her fan was over heated. there can be many ways an car can cause pollution in the air thats why we need to slow down on the car population or usage a day.
air pollution can be a major way fror the president to pass an law about car usage. but, another way to stop people from using there cars. are by having an week off from cars and big trucks,if we have an week off from cars more people would be walking more or riding bicycles. for example, according to the seattle times in the city of bogota people had less stress from being jammed up in traffic and lower air pollution. ,moreover, this can help because it can slow down the amount of fuel people use in a day. just imagine one week without cars this people can be able to catch the bus instead of driving. without cars people could slive better. | 1 |
Venus is one of the planet in our solar system.The most closet to planet to
located beside earth.And it's so close to earth that we can see it's with our own naked eyes.The earth and Venus has a long history since the damn of the human civilzation, throught out the human history.It's an instercting place to study,since it's similar to earth.But there are some difficulites,when it comes to explore Venus, which wolud be a great challanging.
One of the proble with the Venus is,it's has a thick astmosphere fill with carbon,highly acidic cloud and burning temperature to melt metal.And it's a extreme condition to form a life.On the other hand,Venus once use to form ocean and organism.It's have a similar geographic structure to earth.Because of those dengrous risk,there are some concern to sent space craft to sent to Venus.However scientist
still have a plan to sent
to observe Venus furthermore,to explore from a safe distance.According to passage,some of the space craft can only survive up to 3 week.There are an alternative to use some of the design material from a useful old computer from 19centuries if it's require to study Venus if it's in emergency.A material from old computer can be helpful,which could be capable to stand agaist extreme physical force,unlike the new modern computer.It's will be worth it to study Veneus,despite it's rick:there will be alot of benefical when it come to studying Venus.Look no furthermore,even the author approve that some of the information from the result
of studying Venus would be helpful to scientist.And some of the thing from venus,such as rock and soil could be use as an evidence to study the venus and the abilities of human capablities of doing imposible thing from scartch.Venus could be a great place to visit at some poin if the technologies are well developed.It's could be build into a gigantics space travel station at some point.
In conclusion,doing a mission to Venus is difficult and challinging.But there are some hope to for the human to over come that challanging.And just like the space has no boundries,our capablitie of effort will have no limit as long as we keep trying.We will keep expandind our space discoveries beyond the imigination.There is no way of going back! | 3 |
There are many advantages to come from not using cars as your main source of transportation. Cars pollute the earth. Cars are also very stressful. All technology is stressful. So why not use better modes of transportation.
Bikes are healthy,biking also helps reduce stress. So does walking walking by far is the best mode of transportation who doesnt like walking its healthy its fun plus it doesnt cost any money you dont have to have thousands or even hundreds of dollers to walk you have to have money to buy cars you have to have money to buy bikes even though bikes are better to cars and also does absolutely nothing to our ozone layer.
All in all cars arnt what they are cracked up to be. They are stressful,and they are slowly but surely destroying our world. Cars are expensive you have to pay gas,insurance,an if you havent paid the whole thing off yet you have to pay a car note. Cars do have their advantages. They have their pros and their cons. Their cons outway their pros so start walking,riding bikes,or using trains. Because believe it or not those options are way better than using cars,an in fact they help you lose weight which is a plus. They also helpkeep weight off which is another plus. | 1 |
Close your eyes and imagine you are giving a class and the students seem to not be paying attention but other students are paying attention. You classmates are sad , mad ,angry , tired and just want to leave school .Now open your eyes and think wouldnt you want to read the students mind ? wouldn't you want to understand ther frustration , sadness or happieness .
Teachers should be able to read to use FACS (Facial Action Coding System) to understand the students emotions expessions for multiple reasons .To start off with teachers need to understand the student to be able to connect with each other. A teacher is a leader a person to lean off of but if they are not connected on the same page because the teacher doesnt understand to students emotion epessions they wont get far . As teenagers as young adilessons there emotions are off the charts some ore than others and just like that its not good to keep all of that inside ,teacher with access to facs ( Facial Action Coding System ) cant have an encounter with the student talking about there feelings. Just like that there are many more reasons of why a teacher needs access to facs | 1 |
"The challenge of Exploring Venus?
The famous "Evenig star" also called the planet of venus. The star with more misterys and reason for be studied. Venus is a planet,one of the that componed our solar system.
Venus the point of light in the night.
The planet with the second place in our sun. This paper will talk about the mencioned planet Venus and their curiosides that has as why do have the second place,the elements has venus,if has life in venus.
Venus is the second planet in our solar system, also Venus is the closest planent to the Earth according the density and size and distnace too. ? Venus,Earth and Mars our other planeth neighbor,orbit the sin at different speeds. Tha? is means we are closer to mars and other times to Venus." Our Earth run around of the sun doing a eje of simetry. That is way sometimes We are closet to Venus. Venus is a little planet and always are closet to the corner. "Talking in space terms"
During the whole existing the humans are sent spacecraft to find out information about if exist life over there. But each mission was unmanned and the scientifics can tell since no spacecracft survived the landing for more that a few hour.
According the article, some factors contribute to the reputation of venus as a challegin palnet for humans study,despite it is proximity to us. Venus after mentioned as a little planet is a one a planet with 97 percent of carbon oxide,that's means we were the carbon dioxide for survived. Venus has corrisive sulfuric in the atmosphere,that is a danger for us health. According the article "It has a temperatures over 800 degrees Fahrenheit because Mercury is closer to the sun and sun is closest to Venus".
The NASA is back of all that. They are studing all about venus. Some studies show NASA's possible solution to the hostilecondition on the surface of venus would allow scientist to float above the fray. In space terms and referent to the article. "Venus was probably covered largely with ocean and could have supported various forms of life" The studies show that venus accordin the information "The Venus planet has a surface of rocky sediments and includes familiar such as velleys,mountains,and craters". That's means Venus can be our another option for a planetary visit.
In conclusion, I can say that Venus is a option that we have if sometimes will happening on our Earth. That is a option for life. Venus is a planet that it will be Innovation and Technology for survive. Venus is a despite the danguerous,we can have resistant to pressure. Venus can be our salvation. | 0 |

Are you for driverless cars? Did you think they are safe? Would you fell safe in a driverless car?
I am not for driverless because at any given time they could just shut down. Yes they may shutdown with a human controling them but you would have more control of the car. Wrecks can easliy happen with you not having control as much as if you were controling it.
In paragraph 7, it states "none of the cars are completly driverless".
In the text it states that "the car can handle driving functions at speeds up to 25 mph, but special touch sensors make sures the driver keeps hands on the stiring wheel." You still would have to pay attention and use human skills to drive the car. So is the car really worth spending a lot of money for?
For the people who is for driverless cars, would you feel safe in one knowing at anytime the driverless mode could overload causing wrecks leading to injuries, severe injuries, or maybe even death? Although it is a possibility that wrecks could happen to a human controled car but you have more control. Would you really want to spend a lot of money on a car that is not even completly driverless? | 1 |
The planet venus is a danger place according to this article. The article talks about Venus the planet that hasn't being explore. in paragrapg 3 the author talks about some challenges. to begin with ''The thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets venus'' (paragraph 3 ). what the author is saying is that the atmosphere on Venus its so thick juts like if it was covering it up like a blanket. witch it's challenging for the space craft's. witch it could make the air craft explode cause the atmosphere its just like a shield for venuns that why in most of the space crafts that had tried to land in venus had failed and their has not beign one that had land in Venus for three decates. the author even talks about the temperature in venus in (paragraph 3 line 4) it saids " on the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees fahrenheit". If you think about what would happen to a human if it lands in Venus at that type of temperature or anything my guess would bw that everything that either land's or passes through venus burns. Although Venus is just like the sun
but its described as a big star. "Also notable, venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system even though mercury is closer to our sun " (Paragraph 3 line 9). In this line the author is refering of how hot Venus is mercury is the closet planet ot the sun but Venus still the hottest one. | 0 |
The article I read was mainly talking about one of the planets near earth which is Venus and Mars but they were talking about the planet of Venus. Venus is a planet where humans could not live there because we could not support all the stuff they have there. In the article it talks about all the danger it has to that planet and why it really bad to live there and how we couldn't support the conditions. The author uses entertain to show us suspense about the planet Venus. The author uses suspense to show us how dangerous Venus is and how we could not live there.
The author uses suspense to show us about how there is a place called Venus which has really bad conditions to the point that you can easily die. In the article it shows how the author describe us the tearms in the planet Venus. "Since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours. Maybe this issue explains why not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus's in more than three decades. Numerous factors contribute to Venus's reputation as a challenging for humans to study, despite its proximity to us" The author uses suspense to show us how dangerous it is to even touch Venus. It also shows us that not even a spacecraft could survive there less than some few hours.
The author also use suspense to entertain us about the planet of Venus and to show us how of bad conditions they have in the planet of Venus. In the text it shows how the author showed us about how bad it is and what are the terms in the the planet of Venus. "A thick atomosphere 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 planets's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atomospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet." The authour uses suspense to show how the planet of Venus is really had bad terms to live there and how you would die easliy. It also shows that Earth compare to Venus shows how we couldn't support the conditions.
The author uses suspense on both paragraph to show that the planet Venus is really bad condition to live and how not even one spacecraft could land there without surviving. It also shows how the terms in Venus is and how powerful it is compare to Earth percent on carbon dioxide, degrees and atmospheric pressure. This relates to real world stuff by scientists trying to see if they could land there safely without any harm but as you see on the paragraphs it's not possible because you can easliy die because of the terms there. The article shows how the author uses suspense on the article and shows the terms of conditions on planet of Venus. | 2 |
Years ago, when cars were first being developed, the idea that one would be able to practically drive itself probably would've been thought of as crazy. Cars themselves are such a grand example of technological wonder that one being able to handle major tasks on its own just seems like too much. However, here we are in 2016, and the concept of driverless cars being produced in mass and becoming a new normal is a real possibility. A possibility that, in the realm of safety and advancement, is promising.
The concept of driverless cars is nothing but a good idea. The safety that these cars could create on the road if enough people used them could be huge for the prevention of car crashes in the future, maybe even bringing us to a world in which the horrors of such accidents no longer happen at all. Efforts by Google and other companies to make such a scenario possible are close enough now to make it look as if it could really happen, but they aren't quite there yet. There's still work to be done, but the progress made so far points to a bright future in the world of automotive technology and on-road safety.
As of right now, concept models of driverless cars aren't exactly as driverless as they need to be yet. Efforts the likes of BMW's "Traffic Jam Assistant" assume a lot of the driving workload, but can't handle everything that a human driver can. Driverless car technology as of right now as a sort've driving crutch for people. It can get the job done, but you'll have to put in some effort yourself to get the full results. Driverless car technology right now is more like advanced assistance than anything, which is still a good thing, but it isn't enough. Humans still have too much involvement in the process to really be able to deem this cars "driverless." However, these measures towards true driverless technology are still positive ones in the name of safety, so there really isn't anything wrong with them, it's just that there needs to be more. Things like suggested heads-up displays and vibrating driver's seats are helpful, but they still involve the driver too much for it to really make much practical sense in the long run if the end result is a real driverless car. I guess you can't climb a tree without first starting at it's base, though, so I can't bash on this advancements too much because, all in all, they are just that: advancements towards a much bigger future goal. Look at these advancements as stepping stones to the eventual goal of a totally driverless on-road experience.
Another thing to consider when looking at the issue of driverless cars is the lawful implications involved with them. If someone behind the wheel of one of these driverless cars were to get into a crash, who would be at fault? I agree with the writer of this article in that there is a clear-cut issue here currently. However, I think with further advancement of this technology, crashes would be a thing of the past regardless, so these issues wouldn't even pop up. More states need to give this technology a chance rather than just outright banning its practice so that companies can work out the kinks so that the issues this practice is being banned over would eventually be non-issues anyways. Give these companies enough time, and this whole "who would be at fault" thing would never need to come up again if they got their way with further investment into these driverless projects.
All things considered, I don't think that there's an issue these companies couldn't solve regarding possible safety or lawful issues regarding driverless cars if they were just given enough time and resources to work with. I realize that these cars aren't actually driverless yet in the grand scheme of things, and I realize that in their current state they could bring up issues of liability to the law. But, with enough time, both of these things are simply obstacles that could be toppled with new technology. These companies involved in the creation of driverless cars are doing what they're doing for the betterment of driver safety and striving for the safest driving experience possible. I think we as a society owe it to them to give them a fair amount of time to complete this goal in its entirety. What we are seeing now is just a peak at what I'm sure is coming out of this driverless technology research, and I'm excited for the future of this field of study and hope that maybe, by the time thoughts of my first car purchase come around, it could be a driverless one. I know that, in the instance of my safety, that'd be really nice. | 4 |
Is it aliens or is it a natural landform? About twenty five years ago NASA's Viking 1 spacecraft was circling Mars, and was taking photographs. As Viking 1 was taking photos, there was one certain photo that caught NASA's eye. A photo the seemed to look like a face. NASA believes it was an alien artifact, but it really is just a natural landform. Mars' "face" is a natural landform, not an alien artifact.
Thoughout the years that the "face" of Mars was known, there is a change of the landform. Looking at the pictures of 1976, 1998, and 2001 the landform changes. By the time of 1998 the landform has more cracks in it. On April 5, 1998 thousands of people on the web were waiting to see another picture of the land on Mars. The people were not satisfied and said it was not fair. They complained and said it was the cloudiest time of the year for the Red Planet. Yes, they realized that Mars also has wheather. The most common is the sand storms it has. The wind and sand that moves around will change that landform of the surface. The land of Mars will breakdown into even more sand. Like most planets, the land will change by its wheather. The land is caused by natural causes of wheather, not by aliens.
The "face" of Mars is caused by natural causes. It is caused by the wheather. Thoughout the years the land and its figure changes. Mars' face is a natural landform, not an alien artifact. | 2 |
My position to driverless cars is on the negative side. The reason i say negative is that i know nothing about it and it just doesnt seem safe to let a car, something with no brain, something that cant even think for itself drivea car for you. Technology is driving the car for you but wouldnt people get nervous because they dont know if the technolody would stop working or not thats kinda scarey. But i will explain why i am more on the negative side.
I think smart cars is a really good idea but i dont think its a good i dea to not drive the car and let the car drive itself. What happens if the car runs out of fuel or stops workin all of a sudden what are you supposed to do because alot of people know absolutely nothing about technology or even cars. What if the technology starst going out of control and theres no way to stop it, things can get really bad for the passenger and the company the car came from. They said in a driverless car some thing that is not available is texting while the car is driving, if the car is driverless it should be able to handle itself thats why it says driverless. They also said its 90% driver less so basically the car can run on its own for a long period of time without the drivers assistants and they never explained how far the car can go, the distance of the car can travel. They also didnt explain how many years the car can last without it causing any problems. In the passage said automakers are continuing their work on the assumption that the problems ahead will be solved but what about the near future what if the problems accur again how would you solve them ?
Smart cars isnt a bad thing but i dont think their safe and thats just my opinion. I dont think its safe for people to drive in an autopilot car and have no worries at all. I wonder if the cars stop working how many people are going to be without transportation or how many people are going to be broke just because they spent every last dollar into a car they knew nothing about, it was jsut interesting to them. I wonder how many people would think about their choice then. But in the end people are still going to but these cars. And another thing if its a driverless car than will you need a drivers liscense? | 2 |
Do you think that the the human face looking thing in Cydonia, on Mars, was created by aliens? I do not. I think that it is nothing but a Martian mesa. There is no factual evidence for aliens making this "monument", it is familier to us on Earth, and it would not make any sense for it to be hidden from us.
First of all, there are no facts to support that aliens created this landform. For example, the theory was based on no evidence or facts. No facts even hint to the landform being created by aliens exept that it kind of resembles a face. And there are plenty of chips, and even grilled cheeses that looks like a person, or even Jesus.
Like having no factual evidence, the landform seen in Cydonia on Mars is somewhat similar to things that us humans on the Earth can see. The landform on Mars is similar to landforms that we have on the Earth today. On our planet, there are many mesas, just like the one found on Mars. And we know that the mesas on our planet are created by natrual events or occurences.
Last of all, it would make absolutly no sense for NASA to be hiding that the landform was created by aliens, wich it wasn't. If it were alien made, NASA would tell us, in order to make money. For example, if NASA figured out that it was created by aliens, they would want to tell us in order to make money to expand the Mars exploration program. But, hiding it, they make less money, because people want to know more about othe life-forms, not a lifeless, rusted planet. (but wateer was recently discovered on Mars)
In conclusion, the landform on Mars was not created by aliens, but meerly just a natrual landform. This theory has no factual evidence, can be seen on Earth, and does not make any sense. And, though, there will always be people who will always believe that it was created by aliens, you should now believe other-wise. | 3 |
Driverless cars are a good idea. Driverless cars are going to change the world. These cars would be so much safier.
The cars would use half fuel of todays taxis. Gasses from cars are hurting the planet. So theses cars would cut down on fossil fuel use it would be helping our planet in the long run. These self driving cars would also be more flexibil then a bus. People wouldnt have to wait around for the bus.
So far car companies have been making driverless cars since 2009. There hasnt been any problems with the cars. The cars work so well that googles driverless car has driven more than half a million miles without a crash. Some of the cars arent fully driverless but people belevie that is a good thing. People should always be aware of the surroundings in a car.
More and More car companies are trying to make these cars. So the companies know that these cars are going to be a big thing in our world in the future. The car companies wouldnt be wasting there money on these cars if they knew they werent gonna work. The cars run
on sensors. These sensors respond fater than a human can. The sensors can cause the car to apply brakes on a individual wheel and also reduce the power from the engine. The sensors just keep getting better and better making it more safier.
If these cars are safier than regular cars then I dont know why you should be againt them. These cars would help our planet with all the fuels we would reduce by using these car. These cars would reduce driving accidents. If we reduce car accidents we would be saving peoples lives. These cars are a great idea. | 2 |
Scientists knew that it was another martion mesa tthat looks like a face because of shadows,but theorists thought that the face was bona fide evidence of life on mars, that nasa would rather hide. Defenders of the nasa budget say they wish that there was ancient life on mars. LIfe on mars would be boon rather than a burden for nasa.
Finally after anpther image was released on the JPL website it revealed a....natural landform. skeptics that of course have to argue with every peice of information we have decided that he image was too hazy do to the clouds to get a clear view. As rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel. So objects in a picture like airplanes or egyption style pyramids, or even a small shack! You could see where they were. Finally they come out and say, what is in the picture is a martion equivlent of a butte or mesa- landforms commen out in the american west. | 0 |
Many people believe that driving makes everything easier since it gets you from point A to point B. But so does walking or riding a bike. There are many advantages to limiting car usage all over the world. Limiting car usage not only decreases the problem of smog or greenhouse gas emission it also helps give back to the economy in different ways.
Limiting car usage helps decrease any sort of problem with smog or greenhouse gas emission. As stated in Source 2, "Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city"(10). Since Paris decided to enforce the ban, the smog had cleared enough Monday for the French party to rescind the ban on Tuesday. Thus proving the point that limiting car usage either through a ban or just a vehicle-free zone, as in Germany, it can reduce smog and/or greenhouse gas emission. Greenhouse gas emission can be reduced simply by either switching to a more economy efficient car such as the hybrid or creating a low-car surburban society. As stated in Source 1, "Passenger cars are resposible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe... and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States."(5).Businessman Carlos Arturo Plaza asserted that "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution"(Source 3,24) demonstrating that more than one person agree that lowering the use of cars is good for any society.
Economy may get better but it might just all depend on whether or not society begins to limit their car usage. As car usage is decreasing, people now have time to go out and be care free. As they stop limiting themselves from just driving from one place to another, more opportunities arise. Places such as "parks and sport centers also have bloomed throughout the city"(Source 3, 28) because people now have the time,instead of being stressed,to go have fun. Now new restaurants and even upscale shopping districts have cropped up, these places are being placed because of the restriction on driving your car. Even though it may have "negative implications for the car industry"(Source 4,34) our economy will be boosted leaving the negative implications for car industry out of the question when it comes to advantages versus disadvantages. People will have stores within walking distance and since there will be suburbs with car-free zones it makes communication easier and faster, leaving driving places from stressing anyone out.
Everything isnt always dependent on time and if you have to work, with these suburbs containing car-free zones, stores are only a walk away instead of "along some distant highway"(Source 1,6). As mentioned in Source 3 "the goal is to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog"(21) and with limited car usage it is guaranteed that this will occur. Even though cars may be needed, there are many more efficient ways of achieving something without using your car. America has already joined in reducing their driving percentage by either using environment friendly cars or not receiving a license at all. Places all over the world believe the limiting of vehicles in their society supports their country thus a low-car society is what it takes to "conserve resources, lower emissions and improve safety"(Source 4, 43). | 3 |
I tend to have a negative aspect on driverless cars . I believe we will always need people to operate a car. New cars can do all sorts of stuff like, trafic jam assistance ,they can steer, accelerat ,and break themselves. All of these designs have one thing in common and that is to notify the driver if there is about to be a colision or anything. I also belive that you need human contact when in a car. Would you like to sit in the back of a moving car without a person in the front seat. If there were to be something that the car cant see or feel ahead a fewmiles like a flood how would the car know to stop when it clearly cant see it .how is it soppossed to know what to do. Like if a woman stared to have a sesure or a diabetic or anything like that what would the car be able to do about that. Also i do believe you should always follow the law but in a state of emergencey what if u needed to speed or anything of the sort a car that drives itself could not be allowed to do that surlly it would break rule regulations.
I would not get in a car without a human being behind the wheel I would not put my life in the "hands" of a car. a person has feelings and you cant give that to a machine. | 1 |

A relevant topic in today's society that many people often discuss is the reduction of motor vehicle use. Limited use of vehicles such as cars, buses, and trucks can have great effects on the environment. Most of the effects are beneficial to the environment such as the reduction of smog which can ameliorate the horrible impact we have already had on the environment.
According to source 1, limited use of of motor vehicles will be less harmful to the environment. Twelve percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe come from passenger cars. This may not sound like much, but it adds up, especially when you factor in the gas emission from the United States which is more than four times what it is in Europe. Source 1 also claims that less use of motor vehicles will lower people's stress and will make children more social because they will be able to play near the streets without having to worry about being hit by a car.
All of these sources claim that motor vehicle reduction will also reduce smog and greenhouse gas emissions. One source that supports this claim is source 2, not only does Paris emit more greenhouse gases than any other city in Europe, they now have two days in which people who drive their cars are subject to a 22 euro (31 U.S. dollar) fine.
Bogota, Colombia is proving to be the most successful in attempting to lower greenhouse gas emission. According to source 3 car-free day has been started in which citizens may not drive their vehicles without being subject to a twenty-five dollar fine. Most citizens obey this law and the amount of traffic jams is reduced to empty streets other than public buses. The increase in amount of people riding their bikes caused sidewalks to be repaired and replaced which improves the aesthetics of the city. Several small restaurants and various other businesses saw an increased income. Along with sources 1 and 2, source 3 claims that citizens are less stressed when not driving a motor vehicle. Along with this statement. source 3 also claims that people will begin to be more socially active when they are carpooled to school and other places.
Source 4 takes place not in Europe, not in South America, but in our own country, the United States of America. In the last few years, the United States has seen a decrease in the amount of people driving motor vehicles. We have not, however seen a decrease on our impact on the emission of greenhouse gases. This is because though people are driving less, many people in this country drive large, gas guzzling Hummers and trucks which emit more gases than any other vehicle. If people stopped driving those vehicles, we would definately see a decrease in greenhouse gases. We've seen it happen in Europe because large personal transport trucks are seldom driven in Europe.
Many advantages will be seen when the act of driving a motor vehicle becomes rarer. These advantages include our emission of greenhouse gases, improved social interactions, people who are less stressed, and an overall more cheerful environment. Multiple sources make these claims, and many countries in Europe such as France and countries in South America have placed certain days in which citizens don't drive cars. These days have proven many of these claims that support the assertion that there are multiple advantages to limited car usage. | 3 |
Luke think you should join the seagoing cowboys program because you can travel all around and see some pretty nice things like Luke it said in the passage that you take nine trips to things like Greece,China,you will past the Atlantic Ocean and also you can make the world a better place and you can be a hero for being nice. Also so if you want to you can help out animals in the passage it said, the animals had to drink two or three times a day also a way you can help you could clean the stalls on the ship and they will give you jobs and other stuff and so you won't think it is boring you can have fun onboard to they got a lot of things like baseball,and volleyball and the house it is table-tennis tournaments,fencing,boxing,reading,whittling,and the games make time go fast and that's why I think you should join the seagoing Cowboys program. | 1 |
I do not think that driverless cars are a good idea. Many things could happen with the car that could lead to accidents and popele getting hurt. You have to stay alert at all times and I do not think all people all people are willing to do that.
In the article is says "The driver must remain alert and be ready to take over when the situation requires." The article is saying that the driver must be ready at all times if the car needs the driver to take control. What if the drivers hands are full and can't take control as soon? If the driver could not take control of the car as soon as needed, that could easily cause a wreck.
The article also says "If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault---the driver or the manufacturer?" The article is saying that if something were to happen, who would get blamed? The driver or the person who made the car. But how would we know who's fault it was? The car could have not been correctly made or the driver could have not been alert. We would never possible know which one it was, and someone could get blamed even if it wasn't their fault.
These are my reasons as to why I do not think driverless cars are a good idea. There are too many negatives that over power the positives in my opinion. There are a some positives with the driverless cars, but is that really worth taking the risk of all the things that could possible go wrong? | 2 |
A claim that evalutes how well the author supports the idea is "Often referred to as Earth's twin, Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too." " Sometimes we are closer to Mars and other times to venus." "EAch previous mission was unmanned, and for a good reason, since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours." "Not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus in more than three decades." " A thick natmosphere of almost 97% carbon dioxide blankets Venus."
The suface of venus is over 800 degress, that is 90 times greater than what we experience on Earth. These conditions on Venus are far more extreme. Venus conditions also beat submarines divinging into the deepest parts of out oceans. Ir would liquidfy metals. Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar sysem even though Mercury is closer to our sun. Venusian geology and weather presents additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lighting strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface.
Venus was probaly covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth. Venus still has some features just like Earth. The planet has rocky sediment and includes familar features like valleys mountains and craters but, you have to consider given the long time frames of space travel.
Venus would allow scientist to float above the fray. A cehicle hpvering over Venus would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions by staying up and out of the way. You would have to be 30 plus miles above the surface. The temperture will still be hot around 170 degrees. The air pressure would be close to sea level on Earth. "Radation would not exceed Earths levels." The conditions on Venus would be survable for humans. " Most forms of light cannot penetrate the dense atmosphere, rendering sandard forms of photography and videpgraphy ineffective."
" Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." "Reaseachers cannot take samples of rock, gas, or anything else from a distance." | 0 |
There are several ways the author suggests studying venus is a worthy pursuit desite dangers along the way. Some examples of these are, how close Venus is from the sun and how it is very similar to Earth. Also Venus may have had forms of life on it. The author gives examples for each one of these claims and how they would give a positive effect. These are just a few reasons we should explore Venus and figure out more about it.
The first reason to learn more about Venus is how close it is from the sun. One example for this is when the text states,"Venus is the second planet from our sun." Which means that it is not very far away from earth. Another reason to study Venus is how similar it is to earth. An example for this is when the text states,"Venus is the closest planet to the Earth in terms of density and size." A final reason is that Venus may of had forms of life on it. Evidence for this statement is shown when the text states,"Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth." This statement shows how Venus could have been very, very similar to earth.
In conclusion the reasons for exploring Venus include how close it is to the sun, how similar it is to Earth, and how it could have supported life forms long ago. Yes, it is very dangerest because of high temperature and pressure. But if we come up with a way to lower the temperature and pressure it will be surely worth the work put in. These reason are way we should try to visit Venus in the future. | 2 |
I think government should change electoral voting to voting by popular vote. Americas government say every citizens vote counts but they are really only counting the electoral votes. Their was an incident in 2000 called "The disaster factor" according to source 2, this crisis let electors defy the will of the people. Some electors called "faithless electors" refused to vote for their party's candidate and cast a deciding vote for who ever they want.
If we have electoral votes we might as well not have popular votes. People spend there time going to vote for the president they feel is better for this country yet, when they get home and watch the polls they realize the only votes they are counting are electoral. Growing up i was taught that every vote counts be voting just to vote for electorals just so they can vote for our president doesn't seem like im voting for myself it seem like they are voting for us.
In source 3 their counter-claim is that we should keep our electoral colleges, they also say "it is the electors who elect the president, not the people. When you vote for a presidential candidate you're actually voting for a slate of electors." basically telling on themselves by saying our votes don't matter or count.
In source 2 they say "the electorsl colleg is unfair to voters. Because of the winner-take-all system in each state, candidates don't spend time in states they have no chance of winning" the electoral college isn't fair at all, if it was based off popular votes, candidates will have what it takes to win in any state they want.
In conclusion, in my opinion government should remove the electoral college, It is not a fair system to U.S. citizens every citizens vote should count so it should be abolished. | 2 |
Dear State Senator,
The Electoral College is an anachronism. It belongs in the past and should not decide who are president is going to be anymore because its not who the majority of people really want to be leading,it could cause a tie,and its unfair to voters.
Abolishing the electoral college has been a thing people have wanted gone for some time. Because of the electoral college the popular vote has not effected who becomes president. According to the article,(The Indivisible Electoral College),over 60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election tha the one we have now. this means many people would rather switch out the electoral college with a direct vote. With the electoral college still up voters can expect another close election in which the popular vote winner could lose again.
Perhaps the most worrying is the prospect of a tie in an election. According to the article,(The Indivisible Electoral College),if the election was a tie it will be thrown to the House of Representatives,where state delegations vote on the president.This mean that people would still have no say in the matter of choosing a president.
At the most basic level the electoral college is unfair to voters. Because of the winnner take system in each state canidates dont spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning in. According to the article,during the 2000 campaign,seventeen states didnt see canidates at all. This means voters didnt even have a chance to vote.
The electoral college should be ruled out in the future because its not who people really want to lead,it could result in a tie, andits unfair to voters. If its removed then there would be better leaders in the future. | 3 |
To start off, I think the technology to read emotional espressions of students is vulnerable because in todays society not a lot of people are great at socializing, their faces and actions speak louder than theirown words. Basically saying that students and teachers should know somethng is wrong with the person just by looking at their face and the expressions they're portraying.
In the article it states that the peoples faces don't lie and that this is a pro because it helps detect wheather a person is lying or not. On paragrapgh #8 it sites "To an expert, faces don't lie; these muscle clues are sometimes used to spot when a smiling politician or celebrity isn't being truthful." Clearly, right there it states that we could know wheather a big person we look up towards to like our president could be lying to us or not just by simply using this advance computer technology to recognize human facial expressions. This is also a gret opportunity for humans and computers to develop better ways to communiacte. It's a great big step forward in society too. If you're not great at expressing how you feel verbally maybe you're better just facialy expressing it without saying a single word. This amamzing technology can even identify mixed emotions. In the article it staes that "The same technology can make computer-animated faces more expressive-for video games or video surgery. Most humans communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication" says Dr. Huang. This means your computer could know how you feel without saying a single wrord. I also think this an advanatge to school consuelors because students sometime have trouble in school and don't really like to talk about their feelings.
To conclude, I think the technology to read emotionals expressions should be vulnerable to students and the teachers as well. Why? Becasuse a lot of people can struggle with anxiety/social problems and they just need somepone to talk to but just don't know how. This is why computer science is helpful to when it comes to situations like this. | 2 |
Did you know that Venus was a planet and is that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit? Well it actually is and Venus is the second planet from the sun. Venus is sometimes called the Evening star because it is one of the brightest points of light in the night sky. Making it simple to spot in the sky.
Venus is referred to as "Earth's twin". Venus is the closest planet to earth in terms of density and size. Also it is the closest according to distance too. Earth and Venus are like neighbors. Venus was just around the corner, Humanshas sent numerous spacecraft to land on this cloud-draped world. The previous mission was unmanned and for a amazing reason. No apcecraft have survived the landing for more then a few hours. we should send more. Despite the danger but we haven't touched venus more then three decades.
The author supported the idea of studying this planet is a worthly pursuit because we have to know more about this planet then just knowing we are the closest out of all the planets. He stated,"Our travel on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation". The author claims that space is an important study according to this statement. | 1 |
On earth there are so many things to do like go running, hiking, going to the
beach,etc. But some of those things may be rsiky or sometimes they won't it just depends on what you do. Likewise on Venus, there are limits to things you can and cannot do.
Going to Venus doesn't always have risk. For example, simplified electronics that are made up of silicon carbide have been tested.Computers were very helpful for calculations by using gears and levers.If you had sent a cell phone or a laptop into acid it meltf in a matter of seconds.
If scientists really wanted to study Venus very well, they would need to go personally to despite the risks.Instead of just researching and gettting information from other people. Some of that information that you have received from others or the searching the web ,may be false facts.
Humans have sent tons of spacecrafts to land on Venus. "Each previous mission was unmanned,and for good reason,since no spacecraft survived the landng for more than a few hours ." On this planet it is over 800 degrees Fahrenheit and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times great than what we deal with on our planet, Earth.Almost 96 percent of carbon dioxide covers Venus. | 0 |
In this argumentitive essay I am going to prove to you that this "face" is not a face but is a natuaral landform. When Nasa had first sent the Viking 1 out to space to photograph the planets "face" it had not very good cameras. This led to people like conspiricay theorists to believe that nasa had covered up the "face" and its proof of aliens as said in this qoute. " evidence that Nasa would rather hide from the public, says conspiracy theorists. the truth
is that nasa would have liked the proof of aliens because it would have made a huge boost in profit.
The second ship that nasa sent had the picture take in the winter on a cloudy martian day. This made people skeptical t believe nasa when the said that the face is not a face. This made nasa take another ship to the red planet and take photographs in the summer on a clear day.
The third and final ship sent was sent in 2001
had finaly proven to most people that this was indeed not a face. This did not shoot down the conspiricy theorists for they still believe that the face is
a face not
natural land form. This is proven in the last paragraph for the fact that they did not say if all people thought that it was a face or not a face. Also nasa could have changed the photos look with a bluring effect so that could have made it so
that it did not look like a face.
So in conclusion, all in all there is more evidence to discurage a face then there is to confirm it. | 1 |
"Boys and girls of every age, wouldn't you like to see something strange?" After hundreds of years with the Electoral College working just fine, it would be very strange for Americans to just give it up in the name of convenience. The Electoral College should stay in place because our founding fathers created it, it keeps socialism and communism out, and it is in the constitution.
Our founding fathers did many things that would ensure the United States is in safe position for centuries to come. We have the freedom of speech, religion, press, to bear arms, and of privacy. These are just as important as the Electoral College. The founding fathers of the United States wanted to make sure Americans didn't vote for communist or socialist presidents by popular vote. So they created the Electoral College, a system of voting in which each state has a certain number of points based on the amount of Senators and Congressmen representing tha state. If a presidential candidate has a majority of votes in the state, the candidate wins all the points from the state. According to the first source, there is a current total of 538 points in America and it takes 270 for a candidate to win. There is not one thing the founding fathers did that harmed the United States; America should have faith in these men and not charismatic candidates who plan to go against the constitution.
Furthermore, the Electoral college keeps socialism and communism out of our capitalist democracy. Sometimes people don't fully understand politics and vote to simply make their voice count somehow. It may sound illogical, but everyone makes wrong decisions sometimes. The Electoral College is in place to keep people from falling into traps and voting for socialist candidates who plan to rid the U.S. of its freedom. According to the second source, Jimmy Carter, one of the worst presidents America has ever had, and Bob Dole, a prsidential candidate who lost to Bill Clinton, were in favor of getting rid of the Electoral College. If popular vote were in place, the one with the most votes overall wins. That would make it a popularity contest and anyone who has witnessed one of those in high school knows they never end well. America has not had a socialist president with the Electoral college; who is to say there will not be one without it?
Additionally, the Electoral College is written in the constitution. According to the first source, the Electoral College in the constitution and is briefly mentioned in the 23rd amendment, which allows District of Colombia to participate in the Electoral College and gives it 3 electors. Getting rid of a law, or in this case a system of voting, from the constitution is never a logical decision. For example, the 8th amendment,"no cruel and unusual punishment", is not a wise choice to get rid of and nor is the 2nd amendment "the right to bear arms". Why? Because it would turn America into something it isn't; it provides more government control over its citizens. Without the Electoral College, everyone's vote is seen and counted, even the independent ones and the votes of the elderly. The constitution is a guide for the people from those who fought and died for the country and it should never be altered for convinience.
In conclusion, the Electoral College should stay where it is because it was created by the founding fathers, it keeps communism and socialism out, and it is in the constitution. If the United States were to rely on anyone, it should be the founders of the country itself, for they were the ones who fought for the freedom of the country. | 3 |
I belive my claim for or against the value of using this technology to read students emotional expressions are invading our private space. What i'm trying to say is what if they computer says the wrong things or if we feel something that could be embarrasing or offended it'll cause us to either become more emotional or angry/offended. I believe you will also be taking jobs of those who have went to college to major in this type of senarios. If you are taking all of this for people to have it on a computer software then you are no better than hispanics or immagrants taking people jobs because it'll lessen the chance of people even knowing or wanting to become in their life. Yes we need to advance technology to better help people but,people still have their rights and beliefs and you would be crossing the line in my opinion if you were to believe this idea. I say let the professionals handle it who are in some ways the same way cause the computers would be screening us humans when there are other professional humans to relate or more capable of helping someone than a software and if the system goes wrong then what will you guys do then? What i'm trying to say is just let people who can relate and have diplomas for this kind of stuff let them do their jobs and stop replacing humans with machines because it'll be another Great Depression coming to you. | 1 |
The invention of the automobile revolutionized the way humans traveled from place to place in the 20th century, but now since we have entered the 21st century, people are beginning to question why we implement the automobile so much into our lives. The automobile should not be so interconnected within our lives, in fact, limiting it's usage would have many advantages. These advantages include cutting down on our carbon footprint, and reducing the amount of stress and congestion within our streets.
Restricting the usage of the automobile can benefit the enviroment immensly. After all, transportation is the second largest source of pollution in the US, so restricting automobiles can severly reduce the impact of carbon emissions on our enviroment (Rosenthal). If we don't take action now, and start cracking down on pollution from carbon emissions, our cities will develop smog problems similar to what Beijing experiences, which is one of the most polluted cities in the world (Duffer). Fortunetly for Paris, a week of partial driving bans helped clear the five days of near-record pollution it was experiencing, and it helped it return to normal (Duffer). If five days of reducing the number of drivers by half manages to clear the smog from Paris, it's possible to delay or even halt the risng of global warming across the planet if the globe decides to enact restrictions on car usage. Therefore, restricting car usage could have inumerable benefits for our enviroment.
Another advantage of restricting car usage would be a reduction in the amount of stress and congestion crowding our city streets. For instance, when Paris enacted the weeklong half ban on automobile usage, congestion was down 60% in the city's streets (Duffer). Another instance of a city banning automobiles is Bogota, Columbia, which bans cars one day a year. The goal is intended to promote alternative transportation in the city, and this leaves the "streets of this capital city eeirly devoid of traffic Jams" (Selsky). Many citizens enjoy this day, and resident Carlos Arturo Plaza described the day as "a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution" (selsky). A city called Vauban in Germany are pioneering a new type community where no cars are permitted within the city, and the only area they are permitted are the outskirts of the city. This orientation benefits the residents by elimating most of the noise and stress of car engines running, and instead replacing them with the swish of bicycles and the chatter of wandering children (Rosenthal). A resident of the pioneer city, Heidrun Walter, said "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way" (Rosenthal). Therefore, limiting car usage collosally reduces the pandomonium and congestion we experience everyday in our lives due to automobiles.
All in all, restricting car usage poses numerous advantages for everyone. The advantages include reducing our impact on the enviroment by cutting down carbon emissions, as well as decreasing the amount of stress and congestion found in our city streets. | 3 |
In the article "Driverless Cars Are Coming" the author tells positive and negative outcomes of drivers . Which leaves me to think that there could be complications with these cars. Yes, it would be cool to see the world evolve before my eyes and see what more the future has to bring but, is this dream even possible?
These cars could maunfunction and someone could get seriously hurt. These cars could also completly change traffic laws . Not only that but how would the future of the world be prepared to take action if they were to mounfunction no one by then would know how to drive a car and wont have a drivers license. is it possible that they could even forget the basic traffic laws ? Like putting your seatbelt on or stopping at a stop light. Questions like these worry meand dont convice me that these cars would be safe.
In the other hand making these cars can advance technology and be a start of changing the world .These cars would be so much easier and wouldnt cause many acccidents if they were to work. Plus who doesnt want a self driving car? It would be so much easier for transpertation. You wouldnt have to wait for the senior citizen to get out of the lane because your in a hurry or wait for the guy ahead of you to notice the traffic light is on green.
If anything I would say i stand in both positions. I am concerned about the safety of theses cars but, wouldnt it be so cool to have your own choffer thats not even existing. To just hang out at he back of the car and final catch up with social media or change the song without having to be cautios of where you are going.
These cars could be the start of something new and could change us all. Making these cars could be the path way to our future. We could all be teleporting next or flying. If they where to work who knows what else we can come across of and make happen. The world is full of possiblites you just have to take the right path and drive through it. | 2 |
As a scientist people have been discussing the face with someone who thinks it was created by aliens. But as you get into the story they are trying to convince someone that the Face is just a natural landform.
NASA'S Vicking 1 spacecraft was circling the planet while photos are being taken of possible landing sites for it's sister ship. Viking 2, Spotted the shadowy likeness of a human face. There had to have been an degree of surprise among mission controllers back at the Jet Propulsion Lab when it face appeared on the monitors.
NASA unveiled the image for all to see.. the caption noted a"huge rock formation.... Which resembles a human head... formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes,nose ,and mouth."
As the authors reasoned it would be a good way to engage the public and attract attention to mars. So, as a scientist you learn that some things are kinda just meant to catch peoples attention. | 0 |
Throught the article "Driverless Cars Are Coming" the author presents both positive and negative aspects of driverless cars. The developement for these cars would not be such a great idea to make. Producing vehicles with such improvements can cause many bad problems to surface in court and society as a whole. The reasoning behind these improvements being negative is safety of people. Peoole should to look at the things that might go wrong before they support something that sounds good.
Technology is a major factor in todays society and we use it everyday in life, but if the technology we have sold to us has issues then it should not be sold to the people until the issue is completely resolved. If the driverless cars are manufactured and sold to people and there is a problem within the cars which causes them to make mistakes and have technical issues. The manufacturers are not just putting the people riding the car at risk, they are putting the lives innocent pedestrians at risk also. There is a point made in the article where it states, "If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault--the driver or manufacture?". The point being made from this specific sentence is that if the cars are opperating by themselves and if something happens to anyone the only person to blame is the creator of the vehicle, the manufacturer. In most states it is illegal to test computer driven cars because of the dangers that are most likely to occur. In the article we are introduce to a statement which says,"Presently, traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human in control at all times". This statement is saying that if a human has control then everything should be fine. These are overall reasonings and explinations for why driverless cars should not be manufactured.
Manufacturing driverless cars would not be a great idea to make for peoples overall safety. The cars would be unsafe to people as a whole and cause major issues in court as for lawsuits. As of making new and better improvements to vehicles would be a good idea. People should just stick to driving themselves places its the safest way to get there. | 2 |
I think that you should join the Seagoing Cowboys because in the text Luke said that it was an opportunity of a lifetime. Many countries were left to ruins, but then 44 nations joined together which formed the Seagoing Cowboys. Now wouldn't you like to help with this journey by becoming a Seagoing Cowboy. I'll support my reasons in a minute so keep on reading.
When Luke became a Seagoing Cowboy he knew he was going to risk a lot but he had determination that you should have too. When you join the program you are not only becoming a voice, but you are being let in do a good soceity. It may be frightening at times but i bet it'll be worth it. If your not sure of ot try it until you are. The cattle-boat trips are just unbelievably amazing ,especially when you see new countries while still being at work! It's like your on vacation everyday.
There are some dangers at sea but nothing someone with a good attitude can't conquer. While on board, after all the animals are unloaded you can play games and do activities like table table tennis, tournements, fencing, boxing, reading, and whittling. Becoming a Segoing cowboy will open up your eyes and let you realize there is more to life than technology. I know,I know you'll miss your phone but this will be so much more rewarding! So do it become a Seagoing Cowboy!
As you can tell it would be great to become a Seagoing Cowboy I hope my reasoning was enough courage to get up right now and fiind a way to sign up. I promise it'll be great! | 1 |
What is Venus and how can we konw what it is? A Venus is sometime called the "Evening Star" and it is one of the brightest points of light in the night sky. The studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents because of how it said in page 2 "the Earth, Venus, Mars, our other planetary neighbor, orbit the sun at different speeds." The plant Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size. In space terms humans is ometimes right around the corner in space ters humans have sent numerus spaceraft to land on this cloud draped world. In Venus there are thing that we need because in page 3 it said " On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit."
Why are we trying to go to Venus? We are trying to go to Venus there are thing that need to have. In page 5 it said " Imagine a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape." It's trying to said it that how can we go there and can we live in that plane. Solar power would be plentiful, and radiation would not exceed Earth. The time have come that we need to see what is out there and see if we can make it happen and try to make a different for everybody. | 1 |
The driverless cars are dangerous and useless for people . In the article ¨Driverless Cars Are Coming,¨ the author compared both positive and negative aspects. But in my opinion, the negative aspects are far more greater than positive aspects. The bad aspects are such as the car not being completely driverless and still need to be assisted by the driver. Also, the price is going to be too expensive to be practical. That ´s why people should not buy such things as driverless cars.
First, to get in or buying driverless car is frightening. No matter how much science is devoloping today, it still can´t mimic the skill of humans. The driverless cars they are talking about here is not completely driverless. They still need assisting. According to the article, the purpose is to make people relax and help accidents rate get smaller. But how can people relax when they know nothing about what´s going on? It will only just help people grow anxiety. Also, take over when the situation comes? There is no gurantee that the drivers will be able to get adapted and know how to solve the situation right away. It doesn´t really seem to help people if this is the actual situation.
Also, the price is not going to be that cheap to be pracitical. According to the article, a lot of things are needed such as position-estimating sensors, rotating sensors, video cameras, automotive radar sensors, GPS, dubbed LIDAR, and spining sensor. All those things are needed just to be on same skill with a human behind the wheel. So the expenses are definitely not going to be average. So for normal people who live their days working and doing house chores can´t afford them. Maybe rich people will but it won´t become a hit or something that totally needed.
So people doesn´t really need the driverless cars. People don´t need a car that need people assisting when they can drive it just fine. And the money isn´t going to just fall down to earth to buy it. Maybe some people will get interested in them. But as there is no significient to be proved of, it will just be an amusement without no purpose. | 3 |
America was built upon the foundation known as democracy, yet we have been desecrating on what we believe in for years. I am talking about the elctoral college, the process of picking a president or senator through voting for what an elector decides on and acts as a representative for what a certain region decides to vote for. From the Office of the Federal Register, "The Electoral College consists of the selection of the elctors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral vites by Congress." I do not believe that the elctoral college is a wise decision as it being the process of voting for our next leader.
Many people disagree with my opinion and there are a few reasons why, that even I support. From the article "In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the president," by Richard A. Posner, he states that the outcome is certain when applying electoral college to a vote, while a dispute can be more likely to occur using the popular vote method. However, thye elctorial college can even decrease the percentage of voters in the country. There are Democrats in Texas while California has Republicans. This means that there are elctors who already know what they're voting for and the candidates only visit "swing" states or states who have no preference on what party they are voting for. This will decrease the chance of voters to vote in a state that already knows what party the electors of their state will vote for.
I agree on the basis that vote by popular election is more applicable to the situation of voting rather than by electoral college. One reason is the mess-up that occured on the presidential election voting in 2000. The problems of the electoral college is the reason why Florida screwed up and George Bush became president rather than Al Gore, who won the popular vote. Taken from the Article, "The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong," by Bradford Plumer,"Answer: Abolishing the electoral college! They're not alone; according to a Gallup poll in 2000, taken shortly after Al Gore-thanks to the quirks of the electoral college-won the popular vote, but lost the presidency, over 60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now."
Another reason as stated by Plumer's article,"Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a state of electors, who in turn elect the president." What would happen if there is a tie on the votes the elector gets? Would the elector simply choose one or the other or might not even vote at all. I also believe that it is unfair that each state gets the number of electors based on the population of the state. If California was Republican while Idaho could be for Democrats, then both do not have an equal value because California has more people. Overall, electoral college seems sophisticated but whatever happened to being "plain and simple?".
Voting through the popular vote method seems much easier and much better than voting within a certain region counts as one vote. It would be much simpler if every vote of every single person counted as it's own vote for the president, not for an elector. This makes your vote not seem that worthy and is the cause of discouragement of voting. From the Office of the Federal Register it states that, "Most states have a "winner-take-all" system that awards all electors to the winning presidential candidate." There is proportional representation or statistics involved, simply who gets more takes it and it would be unfair to each person with this method.
In conclusion, the elctoral college is an out-dated process for electing a president and should be changed to whoever, wins the popular vote because deep-down, the people are the key figure in voting. With this process, you are undermining you, your state, and even your country by continuing with this absurd and unnescessary process when it could be all voted and decided, "by the people and for the people." | 4 |
The advantages of limiting car usage is that less gas is released, thus causing a steady, more healthier Earth. Limiting cars is completely world changing. Although most people arent in favor of the cause, they dont know the real effects of the gas that is produced by cars around the world. The gasses that are released from cars are very hazardous to the ozone, and can cause environmental changes if too much gas is released. For example in Paris, they had a almost near-record pollution buildup, and since diesel is popular in France because of a tax policy that favors diesel over standard gasoline, the gas released from diesel was more thicker and hazardous. After a bunch of air pollution built up, they enforced a ban that would stop cars from driving for a specific amount of time to halt the gas buildup. If you were caught driving when the ban was active,you were fined 22 euros, (or in american currency, 31 dollars) and people the declined the fine, the authorities impounded their car. Paris was generous enough to allow public transit and it would be free of charge, but it wasn't too easy for the companies to budge because they would be losing money.
In Bogota, Columbia, they have already been taking action in this gas problem, by banning cars for a specific amount of time, but this is their third straight year doing this. This campaign originated in the 1990s and was said to improve Bogota. They have constructed 118 miles of bicycle paths and have promoted bicycle use. A business man named Carlos Arturo said that "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution" which is entirely true. Their goal is to get people to use alternate transportation and to reduce the smog that the cars created. | 2 |
I don't believe a technology can identify human emotions. Because I think we all fakes our smiles sometimes, let's say that I don't feel good or I am angry, but I don't anyone or anybody to know how I feel because I am pretty sure not everyone of us is always ready to let people know how they are feeling, we fake our smile and still smile but we don't really mean it, we smile out side but we feel like crying inside, and most of the time if you come out and say how you are feeling no one will notice it except if you tpld them yourself, so what I am trying to say is that a computer cannot tell whether a person is happy, sad, fear,angry. and in the second paragraph it says that we or computer can "calculate" our emotions and I still don't believe that can ever happen because we express how we feel we can't count our emotions.
"Hold on! can we actually "calculate" emotions-like math homework? And how can a computer reconize the subtle facial movement we humans use to express how we feel?"
It's not true at all, there is no way a computer can tell me when I am happy and when I am not happy, maybe I am faking, maybe I don't even even want to show my feelings. | 1 |
Viking 1 photo was taken in 1976 and had people believing all sorts of things. It apperred to be a human face, but was not yet proven to be one. Some belived that is was just a natural landform, but which one is it? This mask on Mars was soon unmasked on May 24, 2001, and is proven to be a natural landform. They have used better pictures and comparison from Earth.
Using pictures to discorver the "Face on Mars" was difficult in 1976 because we did not have high tech cameras to prove anything, but as the years gone by we could soon tell the truth. For example, 22 years later Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) was able to take a picture of the figure ten times sharper. After this picture was taken, more people were able to believe that this mask on Mars was just natural landform. Then 3 years later in 2001 we had taken another picture that was even closer and it diffinetly showed landform.
Yes, the "Face on Mars" was discorvered to be a mesa, or landforms common around the American West. With all these pictures from 1976 to 2001, we had compared them to these Earth landforms. For example, Garvin says that it reminds him of most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho, which is a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars.
This mysterious figure on Mars had turned out to be just natural landform called a mesa. The evidence and details have proven that through pictures and comparison. There is no longer a need to believe any alien monument or life on Mars. Sure, the viking 1 photo gave an illusion, but the MGS image from 2001 gives more evidence to what it really is. Thanks to Malin's teams, that caputured an extraodinary photo to prove the truth. | 2 |
Driverless cars were once a thing that only seemed possible in dreams. But as the future unfolds and the present becomes the past dreams are catching up to reality. It only seems logical that driverless cars be developed. Airplanes were once a great fantasy and now look where we have gotten them. So why not make an adcancement to cars?
With technology people have been able to create things that seemed impossible only a couple decades ago. As technology advances so should our everyday lives. We have the technology to do so, so why not do it? We should take advantage of our assets because we never know what we could accomplish with them. It may open up many more possibilites.
Driverless cars would provide many benefits not just to humans but also to our planet. They would use half of the fuel of today's cars. They would also cost less money for the average taxi user, because you wouldnt have to give the driver a tip since you are the driver. In theory, they would reduce car crashes since all the bad or inexperienced drivers would not be driving for the most part. Driverless cars would have the safety of a computer and a human watching the road which should reduce accidents.
They could potentially help solve crimes too. With the computers and other smart technology in the smart cars police could use those equipment to directly track a stolen car or a car that has been registered to a criminal. The cameras on the cars could also be used to decide what actually happened in a crash or a nearby crime that happened. With added sensors on the car they could pick up the speed limit in certain areas or realize that the car is in a school zone so the computer will not go above a certain speed.
When it comes to driverless cars the pros far outweigh the cons. Humans have the oportunity to bring the future closer and make dreams a reality. Yes, driverless cars will be alot of work to put on the roads and ensure safety but what great invention doesnt require work? In the end it will be worth it. | 3 |
1.) What is the Electoral College' A electoral college is a process, not a place. I didn't know they had 538 electors. majority of 270 electoral votes. Representatives plus two for your Senators. . . . The Congressional delegation one of each memeber in the house. But i do think the District of Columbia. is each candidate running for President in your state has his or her own group of electors. Chosen a party political party, responsibilities. but what will happen if something happens to the congress what will go wrong? for the stuff that they be having partys for the policital paartys & stuff what do they do that for the things they have. like will the president be alright with this stuff that be going on but these things is good cause we will like the same things but idk know it that was alot of 538 electors but some of it will work.
2.) THe Indefensible Electoral College: Why Even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong' I understand what the American people is doing its a factor that some of yall got to learn thoe. Kennedy i don't understand his and they way he do like its alot for the candidate but for the other ones i dont know like what's up with the candidate and kenndey, the passage says .. In the same vein, "faithless" electors have occasionally refused to vote for their party's candidate and cast a deciding vote for whomever they please... oh, and what if the state sends two slates of electors to Congress? it happened in Hawaii in 1960. Vice President richard Nixon, who was presiding over the Senate, validated only his opponent's electors, but he made sure to do so "without establishing a precedent." what if that happend again? During the 200 campaign , seventeen states didn't see the candidates at all, including Rhode Island and South Carolina, and voters in 25 of the largest media markets didn't get to see a single campaign ad. If anyone has a good argument for putting the fate of the presidency in the hands of a few swing voters in Ohio, they have yet to make it. . . . Yes that's right they do have to make it to the candidate first they just can't walk up there first you got to be president by the pesident frist if you not by him or here then you messe dup for goood its not working out like that at all. it's official: the electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrational. The best arguments in favor of it all mostly assertions in without much basis in reality. And the arguments against direct elections are spurious at best. It's hard to say this, but Bob Dole was right: Abolish the electoral college!
3.) In 2012 election, for example, Obamma received 61.4 percent of the electoral vote compared to only 51.3 percent of the popular votes cast for him and romney. . . . BEcause almkost all states award electoral votes on a winner -take-all basis, even a very slight plurality in astate creates a landslide electoral -vote victory in that state. A tie in the nationwide electoral vote is possible because the total number of votes 538 is an even number, but it is highly unlikely. . . . The residents of each other regions are likely to be a successful presidents. The residents of other regions are likely to be feel disenfranchised- to feel that their votes do not count, that the new president will have no regard. Swing States' [2012's] election- to focus their campaign efforts on the toss-up states. . . . Big Staes' The popular vote was very close in Florida [in 2012]; nevertheless Obama, who won that vote got 29 electoral votes. A victory by the same margin in Wyoming would net the winner only 3 electoral votes. So, other things being equal, a large state gets more attention from presidentail candidates in a campaign than a small state does. . . . Avoid Run-Off Elections' Nixon in 1968 and Clintion in 1992 both had only a 43 percent plurality of the popular votes , while winning a majority in the Electoral College (301 and 370 electoral votes, respectively). There is presssure for run-off elections when no candidate wins a majority of the votes cast; that pressure, which would greatly complicate. . . . It can be argued that the electoral College method of selecting the president amy turn of potentail that is right because sometimes you really don't have that much of that stuff like that now but sometimes its hard to see stuff like that but you got to work on some things like that but not everything likec come on now. so candidates who do that some want. . . . But of course no voter's vote swings a naional election, and spite of that about one-half the eligible American population did vote in [2012's] election. Voters in presidential elections are people who want to express a political preference rather than people who think that a single vote may decide an election. . . . Democrats in Texas, for example , or Republicans in California. Knowing their vote will have no effect , tghey have less incentive to pay attention to the campaign than they would have if the president were picked by popular vote. . . . | 0 |
It's a Saturday morning and the head of NASA has called in to have a meeting on discussing "The Face on Mars." When I entered the meeting room there was only seven people inside. I was hoping there would be more people than just seven, but the seven that are inside the room are very important in the NASA headquarters. I took my seat and waited for Dr. Turner( head of NASA) to speak first. How many people think this face on mars can be an alien?"asked Dr. Turner". Every person in the room have raised there hands,but I didn't. I stood up and said to everyone, "I think this face could've been formed by natural causes". Everyone was looking at me mysteriously and I still continued speaking. How many times have we seen any form of life on mars? NONE "I said." What possibly can make you guys think this is an alien for sure? We have national places where nature has formed a rock or some sort to look like a face and we don't questoin that because we know it was naturally formed by sand storms for example. If this face would've been an alien i would like to an explanation from all you guys since you think it's anlien. Dr. Turner was looking at me in shock, but at the same time was very impressed ion what I said. Dr. Thomas rose from his chair and started speaking so
I sat down and listened. We may not evrything there is in the universe because its so big. we probably only know 1/1000000, but we might know for sure we are not alone in this universe. The face on mars in maybe just a clue to tell us that we are not alone. We can never know what is out there until we have the right engineering to make better ships. No one from NASA has Actually step foot on mars because we don't have the right equipment. For now we have no clue what mught be on Mars, so what i'm saying is that the face on mars is just another mystery to be solved. "Said Dr. Thomas." Dr. Turner stood up and said he isn't sure what this face is made out of, but his choice was by predicting from natural causes. Everyone else in the room also stood up and agreed with Dr. Turner except Dr. Thomas. The meeting is dismissed. "said Dr. Turner." | 2 |
Facial reading technology could be considered as an invasion of privacy. Seeing it in this light, it would essentially reveal emotions to others when one may not want them to be perceived. Although this technology may seem invasive to some, it could benefit classrooms in a variety of different ways because of how perceptive this technology is. The Facial Action Coding System would be a vital improvement to the classroom because it would allow the teacher to know how the lesson went and make improvements upon it, make students happier, and check on a student's well-being.
Many times in a classroom, students are not willing speak up to tell a teacher that he or she is doing something wrong. However, with the new facial techonology, teachers will recognize how their method of teaching is affecting their students. With this new feat of technology, teachers will be able to know how their students are feeling. They could recognize flaws in their lesson plan if students became too bored and disinterested with the topic; they could have the ability and knowledge to make it more engaging the next time they teach it. While many people have the ability to fake an interested or happy expression, this technology would be able to tell even the slightest of differences. They even have the ability to tell "when a "smiling" politician or celebrity isn't being truthful" (D'Alto 8). Considering these are people who are always in the spotlight, these miniscule differences would be difficult to detect without this technology. In classrooms, even the best of actors would not be able to fool a computer system. Therefore, teachers would be able to make drastic improvements upon their classroom if they wished to do so.
If teachers recognize what they are doing wrong and would be willing to change it, students would be happier overall. If a teacher said something wrong or especially demoralizing to a student, they would be able to identify what it was and apologize or learn from their mistakes. The class would be more engaging and fun for students which would then prompt them to be more attentive in class. They would have more fun and learn more from the teacher. According to the Facial Feedback Theory of Emotion in the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile," watching others emotions can make someone feel the same as the other person. They could create empathy among their students if they smiled more and would be able to create a better and more light hearted or elated atmosphere.
With facial recognition technology, computers may be able to recognize when something is wrong with a student so that others could go get help. Improving a student's well-being is an important factor for many teachers. If something is wrong with his or her home life, a computer may be able to tell and alert someone before a drastic situation occurs. Many problems could be prevented by checking in on a students well-being such as bullying. It would be more effective then students going to tell adults because many are afraid to do so. Depression among teens is at a record high, and this could help prevent students from suffering as much; it would also be able to detect anxiety and teachers could use this in turn to help reassure their students.
The classroom would drastically improve if The Facial Action Coding System was implemented becuase it would be aware of the atmosphere of the classroom and the people within it. By seeing how students react to the class, teachers could help make the learning environment more engaging. Through this creation, students would be happier in the classroom and would essentially learn more if they were more interested. This techonology can benefit many students under emotional duress who might be afraid to speak out otherwise. If schools implemented the Facial Action Coding System, it would improve the lives of the students and the classroom as a whole. | 3 |
Dear Senator,
Change. Think back to when you were a child and how much you have changed since then. You are now a grown man, you are the senator of Florida. Change. Think of your wife your kids have they changed? Change. From time to time everyone, and everything needs some change. Changing the Electoral Vote to a popular vote would be one of these "for the better" changes. This is because of a few things.
"Each candidate running for President in the state has his or her own group of electors." (Office of the Federal Register 5) This means that these candidates all have electors on their side when they walk in. But by changing the electoral vote to a popular vote shows how committed, selfless, and enthusiastic the candidates are about their jobs. Having the popular vote replace the electoral vote gives more authority and input from the people of the United States.
Richard Nicon, Jimmy Carter, and Bob Dole all agreed on abolishing the electoral vote because "...voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president."(Office of the Federal Register 10) This happened again recently during the presidential election between Clinton and Obama. Clinton won the popularity vote and Obama won the electoral vote. This means that more people voted for Bill Clinton but the electoral college decided to vote for Obama instead. | 1 |
The Facial Action Coding System is a system that enables computers to identify the human emotions. I think this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable because 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" Which means they can tell what your emotionals is by the movement of the muscles or by the look on your face. Eckman has classified six basic emotions which are happy, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness and then associated each with your characteristic movement of the facial muscle. If you're mad your orbicularis oris tightens your lips to show anger, your muscles on your face shows the computer what you're feeling. Dr.Huand new system can even identify mixed emotions because each expression is compared against a neutral face. That's why I think Facial Action Coding System is valuble becuase the computer constructs on a 3-D computer model of the face and it can tell mixed emotions and it has six basic emotions, If it can tell a dead person mood it can tell an alive person mood. | 1 |
The article "The challenge of Exploring Venus" is about the author trying to get me to think that Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. What that line is saying is even though Venus is a dangerous place it shouldn't stop you in wanting to go and explore it, to find out more about our solar system. Me as a girl, I don't know if I would want to go travel Venus in knowing that it is very dangerous and has very big risk factors. In this article though the author made me look at it with a bigger perspective. He put some points in that I really liked that got me over the perspective of Venus is a dangerous place. Here are some of the points, if we took the challenege to go visit Venus we would get to see what the Earth-like planet looks like, the understnading of what Venus has on its planet and challenges that we have on Earth should not be limited by dangers, but it should make our imagination and innovation meet bigger standards.
The author said that the closest planet to earth is Venus. Earth and Venus are known as twins. The question is why would anyone want to go visit Venus if it is so dangerous. It's because Venus is the Earth-like planet in our solar system. It is the closest planet that you can study and it is like Earth. People want to discover more about it to see what more the two planets have in common. They know that long time ago Venus had earth like features and was once able to support various forms of life. Now they know that it still has some features earth has. Like a rocky surface, with craters, mountains, and valleys. People want to be able to study Venus so we can see why they can't support forms of life and how it came to be that way.
The second point that caught my attention as I was reading this article, is that how are you going to understand Venus without going their and putting some sort of camera or a human there to get some pieces of Venus. We want to understand Venus so we can start understanding other planets. We start with Venus because it is the closest to Earth and it is similar to earth so we can compare and see what other planets might have in common and what they are like. We want to understand why 97 percent of carbon dioxide covers Venus. We also are trying to figure out why their temperatures andd conditions are extremely worse than any human being on Earth has encoutered. This topic made me realize that starting to understnad Venus can help us start understanding other planets and not just others but our own planet too.
The third point that really caught my eye and has made me think is at the end of the article the author says "Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation". This is a very good point to end the article with because he is trying to tell us that don't let things that you fear get in the way of you imagination. Don't let your fears make you from doing something that might change your life in a good way. The author adds this at the end because he wants us to see that he isn't letting the fears of how dangerous Venus is from stopping him from going there and seeing what it is like in the future. It might not even be him, it could be him talking to others saying Venus is okay to go visit because it will open you imagination and innovation.
In the article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" the author makes it very obvious that Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. He put in multiple points and backed them up with information. The author was very clear in stating why he thinks it is important to keep trying to find a way to visit Venus despite the difficulties. The three points that caught my eye were if we took the chance to go see Venus we would see the Earth-like planet in our solar system, the understanding of what Venus has on its planet, and the challenges that we have on earth should not be limited by dangers, but it should make our imagination and innovation meet biggers standards. I know for sure that if I had the opprotunity to find out more information that could help us in this world but it was dangerous I would find a way to still do it or something I can do to help make it safer for others to do. | 3 |
Driving can be a difficult skill to learn, and you have to worry about how other people are driving so you will not get in an accident. Driverless cars would be a good thing to get because they are safe. Everybody should buy a driverless car.
One reason why they are safe because people will not have to worry about getting in accidents because of texting and driving. People would not have to worry about texting and driving because they would not be driving. A lot of people of people text and drive and their area lot of accidents because of texting and driving. Driverless cars are going to be an amazing creation to the world.
Another reason why driverless cars would be safe is because they only go up to 25 mile per hour. That reason makes driverless cars safe because people in driverless cars wouldn't be speeding. A lot of people have problems speeding while driving and if they buuy a driverless car, they will not speed and chideren will stay safe.
The final reason why they are safe is because the person in the driver seat would still be in control of the vehicle. If a person is still in control of the driverless car, it would make the car more safe because the person can see
certain things that the car can not. All the person would have to do is stay alert because the vehicle can not see everything.
Driverless cars would be a safe and amazing creation. If everybody owned a driverless car, the world would be a safer place. Driverless cars are extremely safer than regular cars. Everybody should own a driverless car. | 2 |
Although some might argue and have a different opinin, facial recognition is extreamly valuable in the class room. It can tell if a student is confused with the subject. It is also able to recognize if the student is getting sidetracked or bored, with that information, it can modify the program to better teach that student.
As we advance in the technological feild robots and computers are more capable then they used to be. Computers in the schooling system is not an uncommon thing and it is used as a tool to teach students. The FACS program will be extreamly valuable to students. Every student learns at their own pace, where one student understands it right away another student might have difficulties with the subject that they are learning. With FACS this is no longer an issue, the computer system can read based off of facial expression if the student is understanding the subject or if they're having troubles. With this information the computer system can modify the teaching method or go back over parts that it belives the student is having troubles with. This goes along with if the student is slowly starting to get sidetracked and bored with the computer as most children do. The software can read this and make the subject more appealing to the student to keep them on task so that they can best learn the subject matter.
All around FACS is a very binefical program and it will help a lot of students that move at different paces than others. Teachers can not help every student simultaniosly. With this program they dont have to worry about this because the computer will recognize the emotion of the student and will modify to best fit that student specifically so that they can learn at the same capability as others. | 2 |
Accoriding to some theories, there is more than 1 solar system, and each one of them contains plants, and in the studies of all these solar system and planets rotation around a sun, there are 2 plants which are aike, Venus and Earth, and them being unique makes it worth to study about.
Venus, is one of the brightest point of light in the sky, and the second planet from the sun. It is also referred as Earth's twin. According to the author,"humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on this could-draped world. Each previous mission is unnamed, and for good reason, since no spcaecraft survived the landing for more than a few housrs", even though this happend the Narional Aeronautic and Space Admisitration has been compelling ideas for sending humans to study Venus, and make it possible for them to come backe. Venus has a different enviorment as Earth; more hotter and more more pressure, which also makes it hard to survive on it, but it still has some feautres that are analogous to those on Earth.
The plant is just like Earth, with rocky sediments, valleys and mountain.The NASA has been working on projects, like looking back to an old Technology called mechanical computers, which were envisioned in the 1800s, and were used during World War II. NASA and other scientist are woking really hard, so that we could recall the Venus, can sometimes be our nearest option and also we can be safe and survive there too.
The author believe's that we should not be scared or have limits to our thoughts becuase of danger and doubts, but we should expand to meet the very edge of our imagination and innovation.
Studying more about Venus is worth it, if we have any problems on earth, we always know that have anothe option, we could move too other plants like the Venus. By studying more about Veus, we could help NASA to achieve they goal of landing on Venus safely and making some machines that could last long enough to contribute meaningful to our knowledge of Venus by groing through and bearing the heat and air temperature of the Venus. | 2 |
In the article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" the author is suggesting that Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents, and I think that she does a very good job backing herself up. In this article she gives the things that are wrong with going to Venus but she also gives the things that are good and reasons why you should make a trip to Venus. The author of the story stays with the way she feels throughout the whole article making a strong and valid point. With the author not just telling you all the good things about going up to Venus is making her statement even more valuable. Becuase she is telling you upfront that their are some altercations and disadvantages of going but their are many ways that you can compromize and make it more safe for you to travel and be by Venus.
In the article the author states "Astonomers are fascinated by Venus becuase it may well have once been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system." "...Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth." "...Venus has some features that are analogous to those on Earth." "...mincludes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters." These four quotes from the story are evidence that the auother put saying that Venus has features that are like Earth. Some other quotes from the story that are crutial in helping the auother prove that Venus is a good planet to explore despite the dangers is "NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientist to float above the fray. Imagine a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape." These two quotes are telling us that if you were to go to Venus you wouldnt have to step foot on the panet you could stay in a vehicle and take pictures. And the radiation, higher altitude, and air pressure would be no different than in a plane above a storm because in the article it states "Just as our jet airplanes travel higher altitude to fly over storms, a vehicle hovering over Venus would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions..." and the author also states in the article "...air pressure would be close to that of sea level." "...radiation would not exceed Earth levels. Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans."
All these quotes show that there has been varios of ways to make it safe for humans to travel to Venus. And in the text it says "...some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted three weeks in such conditions" this quotes is saying that not only do you not have to get out of the vehicle that goes up to Venus to see it and take pictures, that you can have an object that can pick things up so you can take it back down to Earth to examine it. The author states "Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors." This is saying that humans want to explore Venus, and that getting to go up there is going to answer many of the questions that they might have and it also answers all the curiosity that they have about the planet. The author has a very valid point at the end that makes you think it says "... not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." She is saying that you should be scared and worried about all the things that could go wrong but think about the things that you will see and be able to encounter while on your trip to Venus. And the dangers of the trip are always a think you need to work out but through out the article they give ways you can fix them and make it safe for you to travel all the way up to Venus. | 3 |
In my opinion, Im against of the value of using technology to read students emotional expresses. Not every student wants another person nor even technology to know what their emotions are. I believe all people go threw something in life and that they just want to keep that something a secret. I also believe that in life we have to go threw a path on our own ; there would be sacrifice , tears and smiles but its apart of growing up and facing reality. Not everyone gets the same amount of help as the other person. Some people just need their worth to try living on their own. A bunch of students dont have a mom , dad or they dont even have both. Some student live their lifes without parents , who will they be able to trust ? In this article , I believe other people like this idea that their willing to help people out but some people rather just face their problems on their own. Dont get me wrong though . Its quiet an amazing work for actresses that are willing to improve their acting skills; It has quiet pontiental that they invented a 3-D computer to identify mixed emotions. | 1 |
Do you think that the Face on Mars is created by aliens? I think not, I think that the Face is just a natural landform. Just because there is a face on Mars doesn't mean that it is caused by aliens. It could easily be formed on its own on the planet.
The Scientist and I at NASA have discovered that it is just a natural landform from a picture the team got when they flew over Cydonia for the first time. There was never any alien monument after all. Skeptics, like you, thought that alien markings were hidden by haze, so the team went again to look for the face. The face was shown again, and so my team and I took another picture but with a different camera and realized if there was any life form on Mars then they would catch it.
So to there isn't any life form on Mars, actually the face compare to a butte or mesa. We compared the face to Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho. The face compares a lot to the butte and so that proves that the face was not formed by aliens. | 0 |
One reason you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program is beacaues you get to travel to places you never went before.Luke liked the job Don which is his friend, had told him about.Plus Luke like adventures,and like to go to fun places.Another reason is it's fun, I say it's fun because you get to be the look out like Luke,did and yell so the people can hear you,so no animal will come and eat the people. Luke also want to be a Seagoing Cowboy because he wanted to help these countries( it say that in paragarph 2, line 2).
If I was a Seagoing Cowboy I would be the lookout, because I would like to help and sever my contry just like Luke.
Luke had made nine trips, the most trips any Seagoing Cowboy ever did.
Also I think Luke is a brave young man to be a Seagoing Cowboy.After Luke had craked his ribs he have not been doing work for a couple of days. | 1 |
In the pasage "Seagoing Cowboys." The article states that Luke said that "His friend
Don Reist invited him to go to europe in a cattel boat,Luke couldn't say no." He also said it was a opertunity of a laftime and that he couldn't pass it.Luke thought it was a really good opertunity so he took it and he was off to being a "Seagoing Cowboy" with his friend Don.They traveled great distances across the world.He traveled across the alantic more then any other person in the UNRRA because, he loved his job.
Also luke said that he got to help animals. Luke traveled around to china and a few other places to help them out because, a war had just endend.Luke was one the many people apart of "UNRRA" wich stands
for "United Nations Relief and Rehabilitaion. Luke loved his job he said
"besides helping people and geting to see europe and china was amazing.They took animals and people back so they could be safe and ok. They gave them medical treatment.
Luke really liked being a "Seagoing Cowboy" he is an insperation and he showed that helping people is in amazing thing to do. He also show that even being from a small town with enough heart and leadership you can achieve amazing goals.He also went across the alantic ocean a numerous amout of times.He did it the most out of all the "Seagoing Cowboys". He loved to help animals and people . At the end of the day he got the job done. Luke went on this huge adventure
all because he went with his friend on a cattle boat and he had an amazing adventure. | 2 |
"Car-free", besides the main thoroughfare, where the tram to downtown Freiburg runs. Bascially everyone should or are riding bicycles because most of the streets is the sidewalk. Passenger cars are reponsilbe for 12% of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe. Ani increasing number of private cars owned by the burgeoning middle class are choking cities. Many expect public transport serving suburbs to play a much larger role. the previous bill, 80% of appropriations have by law gone to highways and only 20% percent to other transport.
Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city, On monday even-numbered liscense plates were ordered to leave their cars at home. Almost 4,000 drivers were fined and not only that but 27 people had their cars impounded for their reaction to the fine. There was a warm layer of air to trap car emissions. Diesel fuel was to blamed, Paris had more smog than other European capitals. Public transit was free of charge from Friday to Monday. Smog cleared enough to rescind the ban for odd-numbered plates on Tuesday.
BOGOTA the city had a car-free day, for hiked, biked, skated or took the bus to work. The goal of this was to promote alternative transportaion and reduce smog. "This is a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution" says a businessman riding on a two-seat bicycle with his wife. Two other cities Cali and Valledupar joined the event. Parks and sports has bloomed throughout the city and districts have crop up.
United states, President Obama ambitious goals to curb the U.S. Recent studies suggest that americans are buying few cars, driving less and getting fewer license as each year goes by. Many measures the decrease in driving preceded the downturn and appears to be persisting now that recovery is under way, few years will be telling. Beneficial implications for carbon emissions and the environment, since transportation is the second largest source of America's emissions, just behind power plant. Getting a driver's licence is not priority. Some people find their ways to getting where they need to go.

You may think that the Face was created by little green men who fly around in space ships, but all that is just conspiricy. As science tells us, and from what professional scientist have researched and studied at NASA, there is no life on Mars. Whether that life form be intellegent and macroscopic (visible to the naked eye) or bactireal and microscopic (only seen with a microscope). It is obvious to tell that the Face is merely an act of nature. For example, God's Thumb, a rock formation in the desert of New Mexico. The rock formation looks the way it does from centuries of erosion from wind, water, and sand. It is likely the Face has expirienced the a congruent form of events. It is also likely that the Face is a work of volcanic activity. Mars has a rich history of volcanic activiy. Mars just happens to be the home of the largest volcano in the entire solar system. From that information, it would be of no surprise to find the Face to explode in a giant fury of smoke, ash, and lava. Although, it would be an extraordinary happening to see. Going back to the previous point made erosion, apon closer inspection, you can clearly see trenches across the Face. These may very well be from liquid water flowing on the surface, wcich recent discoveries confirms. Also, around the foot of the Face, is a large gathering of rock, dust, and other debris from probabal erosion, evidence for such thing can most likely be found right in your own back yard. Say there is a small pile of dirt or a sand box your children plays in and builds a "mountain" as they would call it. Then after your children come inside, it rains. when the rain stops, you go out and check to see if the area is safe to play in for your children. As you inspect the area of play, you notice small trenches and wash-out around the base of the pile of sand. With all things considered, this scientific reasoning should sway your thoughts of little green men with space ships and laser blasters. | 2 |
"The car of tomorow", " The future in automotive is here". We have all heard and or read these these sales slogans before. Wether in medicine,computers, or even cars; the technology of today is shaping tomorow. Of thoes changes the most profund one is the change in cars. So are they worth it?
The use of driverless cars is a wonderful idea. They offer a special saftey that wasn't their before. If you hate driving threw big citys or even at night driverless cars are the way to go. They offer an economic advantage as they " would use half the fuel of todays taxis.", as Google cofounder Sergey Brin states.
As we notice all the good in a driverless car we tend not to notice the bad. the disadvatages to the driverless car are many. Many people see this driverless idea as a good thing but how many of thoes people will be able to afford this new technology? As with all new technology it's going to be expensive to buy, and it could also be expensive to replace and have fixed. Manufacturers will also tend to look more at the profet and diveate from the qualty of their products. This problem can be the bigest that stops the cars from being released. As qualty goes down parts will tend to break. When a part breaks the coustmer will go to have it fixed or replaced, but this can be an issue. Since it is a new technology not alot of people will know how to replace a certian part that is broken. That means that Their will be a backup of cars needing to be fixed.
Another problem is in a driving senerio. What if your driving and another car with a person driving runs the stop light? The driverless car would'nt know to look right of left, it would just drive straight threw the intersection. If that was a human driving they would know to wait a second or to before driving off from the green light. This little detal can hurt or harm alot of people.
A flase advertisement could also harm alot of people after buying a driverless car. As the artical states the human interaction in driverless cars is needed. Some cars even "notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skill". That means that the car isn't allways self driving. As we saw in the case of the lady who put her RV in auto steer, took a nap, then the RV wrecked, false atvertisement is a crutial part of the cars sucess. Many people who buy a driverless car if they can afford one probally think it's all automated and will sleep or play around in the car. They could also not wear seat belts as these cars are advertised as safer than tratitional cars. The artical states that " the human driver must remain alert and be ready to take over when the situation requires."
Theirfore after facts and opinions are stated a driverless car isn't worth it. Yes, it is true that it can save the enviroment a little but you have to think whats more inportant your life or the enviroment. As people strech the truth about these cars other people will start to buy them causing allot of suffering on thier part. Never the less people will make their own choices regardless of facts or opinions. | 3 |
studying venus is something that you would have to do because you would take a sample of the planet and test it and you would have to see if theres oxygen on the planet and how many years the planet has lived and the arthor has made a story on how they would examine the planet like the NASA would have a little space craft thing that would hover over the planet so they could inspect the ground of venus and the planet could have temperatures around 170 degrees and the air pressure will be like sea level on earth but it could be survivable for humans. venus is a planet that has been around for hundreds of years and its known for the rings around the planet and it excees over 800 fehernhite and the air pressure would be 90 times greater then earth and it would be extreame than anyone has ever encountered on planet earth. the author wrote this is so readers would understand on how venus is and how people are studying it how many cool things are on the planet and other things like venus is called the ''evening star'' is because its the birghtest star even amature stargazer would see it. venus is the second planet from the star and its also named as earths ''twin'' because its second from earth and its earth terms of density and size its dangerous because no aircraft or spaceship has ever survived more than two hours on it. | 0 |
Would you ever consider exploring Venus? In my opionion I would explore Venus because it would be a great experience and also it would be a challenge to do something that outrageous. Venus is a worthy pursuit because you can discover so much and the story states that the planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys,mountains,and craterse. In the story "The Challenge of Exploring Venus it talks about what the planet Venus and it gives information about Venus,and also if the author would explore it. In the story Venus is the second planet from the sun while Venus is simple to see from the distant but safe vantage point of Earth,it has proved a very challenging place to examine more closely. Earth,Venus,and Mars,our other planetary neighbor,orbit the sun at different speeds. These differences in spped mean that sometimes we are closer to Mars and other times to Venus. Becasue Venus is sometimes right around the corner-in space terms-humans have sent mumerous spacecraft to lan d on this cloud-draped world.
The story also gives a lot of information about Venus and how challenging exploring Venus really is. Such as,A thick atmosphere of alomost 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 degrees Fahrenheit,and the atmospheric pressure in 90 times greater that what we experience on our own planet.
However,striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value,not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself,but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors. Our travel on Earth and beyond should not be limited by danger and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation.
In conclusion discovering Venus and it being outrageous the planet is dangerous but like the story says "Earth and beyond should not be limited by danger and doubts but should expanded to meet the very edges of imagination,Despite of this planet being dagerous exploring a planet is also a one in a life time thing and doing something like this is advangerous and it something you can remember for ever. | 2 |
I do not believe that using the Facial Action Coding System to read students' emotional expressions would be beneficial to classrooms, because if students are confused they can simply ask their teachers questions, and when students are bored, the computer can not simply make them entertained.
Most teachers have expirience dealing with students who do not immediately understand or comprehend their lessons, and when students ask questions, their teachers can answer them, and attempt to better their students' understanding. Quoted in the text, Dr. Huang predicts, "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored. Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor" (D'Alto para. 6). This quote shows an idea of how the computer reading human emotions could potentially modify lesson plans based on student confusion or boredem. I don't agree with this statement because, while the computer would be able to read human emotions and track confusion, it still wouldn't be able to track what particular topics each student is confused about, and I believe the most efficient way of finding that out is for teachers to ask students questions, or for students to ask teachers questions.
Although this computer could potentially read facal expresions and features, it could not simply come up with solutions to students' bordem or tiredness. Often times teachers have students sit down and take notes, and although many students do not particularly enjoy taking notes, it is a manditory part of many classes, and teachers being able to know that their students are bored will not have an affect on most of their lessons. The text states, "If you smile when a Web ad appears on your screen, a similar ad might follow. But if you frown, the next ad will be different" (D'Alto para. 6). Not only do I believe that this would be an invasion of privacy when computers are able to track people's specific moods and advertise to them based on their moods, but especialy so if this was implimented in a classroom for a teacher to be able to track specific students' moods and emotions every day.
Facial Action Coding System would not be beneficial to a classroom because both bordem and confusion can simply be expressed to a teacher, and although the computer could identify human emotions, it has no real way of solving problems that arise with students' emotions or moods. | 3 |
I think others should participate in the Seagoing Cowboys Program because you get to help others recover their animals, you get to see many remarkable and unbelievable sights, and get to pass time having fun and playing games on the boats.
The first reason why others should join the Seagoing Cowboys program is becasue you get to help and care for others. For example, In 1945 World War 2 was over in Europe and it left many countries in ruins, and to help these countries 44 nations joined together to form UNRRA(the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration). They hired us, "Seagoing Cowboys" to take care of the horses, young cows, and mules that were shipped overseas. This helped the countries recover their animals. So, one reason why others should join the Seagoing Cowboys Program is to help others recover their animals.
Another reason why I think others should join the Seagoing Cowboys program is to be able to see the remarkable sights that you get to see while over sees. For example, I have seen many beautiful sights while overseas. I have seen the Panama Canal and got to take a tour of a excavated castle in crete. I have also gotten to see Europe, China, and Italy. So, another reason why I think others should join the Seagoing Cowboys program is because of the unbelieveable sights you get to see.
My final reason why I think others should join the Seagoing Cowboys program is becuase of all of the fun you get to havoe on board the boats. For example, you get to play baseball and volleyball games in the empty holds where the animals are housed after they are unloaded.
Table-tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, reading, are also examples of what you can do overseas to pass the time. So, my final reason of why I think others should participate in the Seagoing Cowboys program is becuase of the fun you get to have on board the boats.
So, in conclusion, I think others should join the Seagoing Cowboys program because you get to help and care for others, you get to see some incredible and unbelievable sights, and you get to have alot of fun on the boats while you are overseas. | 3 |
I think driverless cars could be dangerous. A lot of people would probably think since they have driverless cars they could be on their phones, such as texting while on the road and not pay as much attention to the road because they wouldn`t have to control the wheel. Even though the car alerts you when its time for you to take the wheel, some people could not be paying attention and crash. Also for drunk drivers who could think since their car runs by itself they can get on the road drunk, no thats not how it works because at some point you would have to take control, and they could loose control and boom a car crash.
Another reason Im against driverless cars is because it would be pretty stupid to just be sitting in a car that drives it self. If your that lazy to not drive on your own you can just hop in a uber that can take you where you need to go. It can also be dangerous for young teens that don`t know how to drive who would also think they can hop in and get on the streets since the car drives by itself and wouldn`t need to do anything but just sit back and relax while the car drives itself. Perhaps how does the car even know where it`s going if your not controlling it ? i just dont think driverless cars are useful or safe. | 1 |
Should driverless cars be legalized throughout the United States? I argue that they shouldn't. First of all, driving is an important skill to have and without that skill, an individual becomes less independent. Secondly, if we, as a country, relied on driverless cars to transport us places, we would rely on other technology to help us live too, thus losing more independence. Lastly, if driverless cars were to malfunction, then humans wouldn't have the option to drive a real car around. These are just three reasons I believe driverless cars shouldn't become a part of our society. Firstly I will explain, in more detail, my first reason; driving is an important skill to have and without that skill, an individual becomes less independent.
My first reason for why driverless cars shouldn't become part of our society is that driving is an important skill to have and without that skill, an individual becomes less independent. There are many skills to have in life: dealing with money, performing your job to the best of your ability, and striking up a conversation with somebody. Among those skills is driving. When a person drives themself somewhere, they are showing that they are independent. If driverless cars were to be set into motion in our society, then how would our country look? How would a father supporting a family look if he went from driving himself to having a car drive for him?
My second reason that driverless cars don't belong in our society is that if we, as a country, relied on driverless cars to transport us places, we would rely on other technology to help us live too, thus losing more independence. Americans already rely on technology to help us with our everyday lives. We rely on phones, computers, and even televisions to entertain us. If the skill of driving were taken away from people altogether, then we would most likely turn to other technology to help us, like hoveround chairs so we don't have to walk, or completely turn to computers and forget writing altogether. My third reason that driverless cars shouldn't be replacing cars in America is that if driverless cars were to malfunction, then humans wouldn't have the option to drive a real car around.
In the future, if driverless cars were to start malfunctioning, after forty to fifty years after they had succeeded gasoline cars, then there would only be a minority of people that would know how to drive and the majority of the country would have to learn how to drive again. That is, if the government would agree to build gasoline cars again.
The proposed question was: "Should driverless cars replace gasoline cars?" I argue that driverless cars should not replace gasoline cars. My first reason is that driving is an important skill to have and without that skill, an individual becomes less independent. My second reason is that if we, as a country, relied on driverless cars to transport us places, we would rely on other technology to help us live too, thus losing more independence. My last reason is that if driverless cars were to malfunction, then humans wouldn't have the option to drive a real car around. | 2 |
My positon on driverless cars are postitive. Hearing so many drunk driving cases every single day alone would bring a huge benefit to people everywhere. Think for a moment. Why would people put so much time and effort to a project that wouldnt benefit humanity and society? Although drivers are still required to do some things in the car, the new ways of sensors being included throughout the car cuts many things that a driver has to do.
But also there are pros and cons to every situation. You can obviously start with the fact that there is still no car today that is completely driverless, as already stated. Or the fact that we are still years away to coming close to the real thing, not including laws that could add many more years just trying to get a self driven car legalized.
Do not forget about the pros that have yet to be mentioned. To start with the obvious, many thousands of lives will be saved daily from the new technology developed. Also the price of gas can be greatly reduced or not even used at all considering the use of electric cars that could be included in the makeup of a self driven car. But there is not only one company trying to do this.
A plethera of companies such as General Motors and Berkeley are just a few to name. Many aspects also fall in, like price, rights, and advertisements. All are very important as well but price for a " revolutionary prospect" can ruin your bank account if your trying to get something that you do not have the money for originally.
To conclude my positive standpoint, cars are improving at a phenomenal pace. If you thought about this 50 years ago, people would look at you as if you had no idea of what your talking about. Now these days anything is possible, let alone cars. And we are just talking about cars that can drive themselves. If we give it a decade or two, there might actually be cars that can fly or go underwater and explore. The ideas are indeed limitless and achieveable. | 3 |
In today's world, technology continues to advance constantly as human inventiveness increases. Many previously unimaginable ideas such as drones and hoverboards have became realities. Another one of thes enthralling ideas is the proposal of a driverless car. These cars are thought to end the need for huamns to ever touch a steering wheel. However, driverless cars are proving to be an unwarranted creation with remaining human requirements and legal ramifications.
While driverless cars promise to remove the need for human driving, the flaws in their programming still require humans directing the car. One would expect a driverless car to have developed computers that can sense how to deal with accidents and zones of construction. The ability to deal with common issues in the motorized world would be assumed a definite in a computerized car. However, the "driverless" cars still require humans to deal with construction, accidents, and sudden lane shifts. Promises of "driverless" are negated by the requirement of human knowledge to adjust the car to the relatively trivial obstacles of motor vehicle operation. Because humans are still needed in driverless cars, the need and desire for the technology of the future is negated by the inability to deal with the present world.
Driverless cars also present obstructions in the legal system of today's government. A strong majority of the United States of America have laws put in place that restrict the developement and production of computerized automobiles. By owning a driverless car, the owner of the car can find trouble with local officials in the area. These driverless cars also present a dilema with the legal procedures of automobile accidents. If a driverless car were to malfunction and cease power, then an accident would certainly occur. When these accidents involving driverless cars do happen, the dilema of blame will face those involved. Was the accident caused by a faulty driverless car that still requires humans? Was it caused by a human owner who failed to observe the mechanical soundness of the driverless car? The liability can not truly be placed on one source or another, for judgement is impaired by the different signals the car is receiving. A human or a computer chip causing the car accident is not what matters in this dilema. What does matter is preventing this dilema by exterminating the existence of driverless cars in the first place.
When Henry Ford first brought modernized automobiles to American markets, there was no thought of how far these cars will evolve. However, a precedent of human control over the automobiles was set by the introduction of the first Model T. As a society we find ourselves in a world Ford could have never imagined. Cars have become much safer and more technical than Ford ever could have dreamt. However, a crucial intersection has now been reached in the history of the automobile. As a society we must ask ourselves the critical questions: Are driverless cars that can't drive themselves really worth it? Are all of the possible safety and legal ramifications worth no longer having control over the automobile? For the generations to come, society must make a stand now against these "driverless" cars which fail their name and pose legal and safety risks that Ford never intended to be an issue. | 3 |
To me reading people emotion expression of students in a classroom is valuable, because not everyone would tell there probles to their friends or familly therefore the new technology to read people emotion is a good thing, is good for everyone . We need all our emotion for thinking, problems solving, and focused attention. In the other hand by reading other people emotions would help you figure out on how to help them focus more , because every human bein are neurobologically wired, and to learn anything , our minds most be focus and our emotions need to feel balance. In the article it say's " the process begins when the computer model of the face ; all major muscles in the model must move like human muscles . In the article 6 it say's'' by the way did making a happy face in this experimrnt also make you feel sligtly happy?'' To me putting a happy face just because you fake in it or not trying to let other people figured is not a bad thing however it can also be bad because on the inside you not happy , so therefore i think using technology is better good thing to figure people out. | 1 |
The Electoral Colleage is not a Colleage like it sounds, but it is a process. It is a verry complex process and sofar since our goverment was started it is working fine, right? Well you are wrong. First, let me give a breif explanation what the Electorial College is. It is a process thst our goverment has ben using for a very long time that was started in the Constatution. What it does, Each state has a number of people in it pledged to a Presadent, such as Obama. When the people vote, it goes to those people and then they vote on who got the majority. Sometimes, this dosent work. Some of these "people" dont stick to their pledge and vote for someone els, like if 70% of the votes were for Bill, he is supposto vote for Bill. He dosent half to and can vote for Bob instead, and this is the big problem with tis method.
Flordia has 29 people representing it. Places such as California and Texas have 55, and 38, But if you look at places such as Hawii and Alaska, they have around 3 or voters. They have less voters because there population is less than the places with higher amounts of voters. Here is another problem, the bigger states like Texas, California, Flordia, etc. have a MASSIVE advantage ofer these places with less people. I beleve that votes should be directly by how many people choose someone and whoever gets the higher vote, wins. It's WAY simpler than the way currently used and the more simple something is, the less problems occur.
One arguement agenst this way of "the higher vote wins" is that it is possable that the votes are so close that there is no clear winner, but with the current way, if there is a tie in the electorial colleage, then it goes to the peoples votes. In 1968, if just 41,71 votes would have made it a tie, and thats extremely close. Dont YOU want to vote for the presadent, or would you rather vote for someone to vote for ho you want and they could be corrupt and vote for the oppasite that they are supposto vote for wich has happened.
If people decided to rid of this mess of a voting system called "The Electoral College", wich would be a big leap to accomplish due to the ammount of supporters, would be a great accomplashment. It would also lead to those 29 people in flordia living off of doing practicly nothing and getting money having to get a real job to get money. These would be the people that try and not get rid of it and tell the good parts of it and most likley lie like most goverment people do, all so they can get money, withought doing practicly anything. In the 2000's, Al Gore recieved more votes than his opponent, George Bush. Bush wone even though more people wanted gore, and this happened because the Electoral College gave Bush more votes, making him win the election. Dosent is seem wrong that the people wanted Gore, but we still got Bush?
Not all of these people working in the Electoral College are like this though, Some might actuially beleve it's a good idea to keep it and are a part of it not for the money. When people advertise for who to vote for, they dont advertise in Alaska or Rhode island, They advertise to the states with the most Electoral Colleage members are, such as Flordia, Texas, and California. | 3 |
There are very many pros & cons on why "Driverless Cars" would be a good thing.
I can name a lot of good and bad things about them. I am here to tell you my position, & to tell you pros & cons on this situation. These things can be very helpful in deciding whether these cars are a idea or not. Everybody may have different opinions on this situation.
Personally I think driverless cars could be good & bad. Here's why. Driverless cars could benefit a lot of people in many ways , for example if you are running late and you dont have time to do something before you leave the house you can do it in the car. On the other hand its a bad thing because they say the car tell you when it needs human assistance, but what if you're so busy doing the thing you were doing while you were runnning late you don't pay attention to the car telling you it needs your assistance. So before you know it you end up in a accident.
Some people think that the car isnt a good idea. They believe that "the only safe car is the one that has a human driver in control at all times". I see why they would think that . Considering the fact that all of this is running off of technology, who's to say that something horrible is going to happen. Technology malfunctions all the time , so what makes people think that these driverless cars are any different. So there's a problem with a car running off of technology. They say that they plan to have these problems solved , & a handful of car companies plan to have cars that drive by themselves in a few years, but they get closer to where they want to be with this everyday.
Thats how I feel on the situation of driverless/smart cars. Until they get all the problems under control & get everything to the point where no one has to wonder about what would happen in a certain situation, I think that they are a bad idea. They have good reasoning on why they should be made but the list of why they shouldnt overshines that. | 2 |
Technology has become very advanced, and it has helped with many problems in today's society. Though, technology like the Facial Action Coding System is extremely advanced, and could have a major positive affect. Not only could it have a major positive affect on today's society, but it could also have a positive affect on future generations. I believe that the Facail Action Coding System could be very valuable; if it is used for the right reasons. The Facial Action Coding System could help solve many problems in today's society. It could help the law, it could help teachers form better teaching methods, and it can be used for medical purposes.
The law has trouble with telling when someone is lying or even when they are telling the truth. I believe that the Facial Action Coding System could help solve this problem. Acorrding to the paragraph, the Facial Action Coding System can calculate the percent of the certain facial expressions that you are making. Which we all know that when most people lie, they make a certain facial expression or they act a certain way. If police and judges were able to use this sofwear they would be able to tell when someone is liying, and when someone is telling the truth. They could use the Facail Action Coding System as a lie detector. Doing this could help reduce crime rate, and it could help lock away people that deserve to be put in jail rather than innocent people.
Not only could the Facial Action Coding System help the law, but it could also help in schools. According to the paragraph, it can notify teachers when students are becoming bored of what is being taught. By the teachers being notified that their way of teaching isn't helping the students learn, they would know to change that teaching habit. By the teachers changing their teaching habits and making it more interesting, students would be more likely to learn the information that they are recieving. Rather than just being bored, sleeping, and waiting for the bell to ring. With teachers changing the way that they infrom students, students will recieve better grades. Therefore, the Facial Action Coding System, could help make the students better informed, and no longer just bored of the subject that they are being taught.
Most importantly, the Facail Action Coding System can help with medical conditions. There are many mental medical conditions, but suicide is one of the largest mental conditions. No one really knows that someone is planning to commit this action because they do not notice the signs. I believe that if we were to use the Facial Action Coding System we could detect things like this faster, and do something about it before something tragic happens. Yes, we humans are able to detect when someone is feeling bad, but we are not always able to tell whether or not someone is faking their happiness. According to the paragraph, the Facial Action Coding System can detect when someone is faking a smile. With the Facial Action Coding System being able to detect this it would enable us to know if someone is truly feeling down. The Facial Action Coding System could help reduce the rate of Suicides in todays society, and even in future generations.
Even though the Facial Action Coding System may not be able to help with everything. It could be the solution to many big problems in todays society. It could help with some of the worlds biggest problems. The Facial Action Coding system could help the law reduce crime rate, give students a better education, and it could help with medical conditions. Altogether, the Facial Action Coding System could be very helpful. It could be the key to many important things, and it can help future generations become smarter and safer. | 3 |
To: Mr. Senator:
I belive that we need to change the electoral college to just the popular vote. I'ts not a very good way to do an election. So I'm writng this letter to you so that your can talk about it with your fellow senators. It would be much obliged if you would do that.
One of the reasons why we shoouldn't have the electoral college is that it is not fair to smalller states. Just the state of California has more than almost all of the midwestern part of the United States. If we had our election with the popular vote then it would not be bias like the electoral college is.
Another reason why the electoral college is the right method for our election is that it is not fair our voters. Like republicans in california there is no point in voting because democrats are the majority of the state. If it was just the popular vote there vote would actually matter. We need to stop think about the state and start thinking about the people in the state.
I would be satisfied if you would take this topic to your fellow senators and discuss it with them. It's not all about the rich people that live in California that get tthe big vote, it's also about the people who work all day and barley get any pay in Alaska. We need to thin about everyone in the U.S, not just the people in the big states.
Sincerely,
PROPER_NAME | 2 |
