In the article, "Unmasking the Face on Mars", the author is informing the readers about past discoveries of a shadowy object that looks like a human face. The article shows the reader three pictures of the "face" in different years. These years include: 1976, 1998, and 2001. As the years go by, the image of the "face" becomes more clearer as the picture before. NASA's Viking 1 first captured the first picture of the "face".
People everywhere are fascinated by what scientists have discovered on Mars. The "Face on Mars" has become a pop icon. It appeared in a Hollywood film, books, magazines, radio talk shows, and even checkout lines at the grocery store. Some people think the Face is bona fide evidence of life on Mars. Defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an ancient civilization on Mars. Few scientists believe that the Face was an alien artifact. I believe that the face on Mars is a natural landform, and was not created by aliens.
It is still not scientifically proven that there is life or was life on Mars. To this day, scientists are still trying to figure out if there is or was life on Mars. On April 5, 1998, Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time. The team aboard captured a picture that was sharper than the previous picture. This picture still revealed a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all. I know, that after this, people are still not satisfied. Remember, that the camera had to peer through wispy clouds to see the Face. Skeptics say that alien markings may have been hidden by the haze.
Since this might not be enough proof to convince you into thinking that the Face was formed naturally... we decided to go take a picture of the face once more. This time it was clearer and bigger. If there were things on the ground, you would be able to see what they were. The picture shows the Martian equvalent of a mesa- landforms common around the American West. In America, most of our landforms are created naturally, and Garvin said that the Face reminds him of the Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho.
I think that the only reason why people think that aliens formed this Face on Mars was because of the books, magazines, and film. The film could have incorporated ideas into someone's head into thinking that aliens did create this. The Face is just a natural landform. Aliens couldn't have created this "face", because it would've taken them a long time, and how would they know what humans look like?
The atmosphere around Mars could have helped shaped this. Maybe the air, shifted the dust and rocks on Mars, moving it into an object that looks like a human face. There are many possible ways on how this face was created by the natural enviroment. | 3 |
I do not think that there should be driverless cars. Driverless cars still need a driver in them. They also can drive around or know if a road is getting fixed. The cars could also be dangerous. These are reason why i think we should no have driverless cars.
First reason why we should have driverless cars, is because they cars still need to have a driver in them. The car should not be conicered driverless if they still need a driver to take over just in case of an accident ahead. The cars also do not have eyes can not see, how will it work at night. Also during the winter the driverless cars would have a lot of accidents because of snow and ice.
Second reason, is the cars would not know when there is a dead end or the roads are getting fixed. These cars could run off the road if a bridge was not complete. The computer hardware could go down in the middle of driving and people could died. These cars are not humans, and could kill lots of people because of simple mistakes.
My final reason is these cars can be dangerous because how would they know when children are running through the streets. These cars would not be safe around children or eldery people. In the article its says "If the technology fails and someone was injured, who is at fault--the driver or the manufactuer?". How will the law handle situtations like these, who would be at fault they would not know.
I do not think they should be driverless cars for many reasons. There are also, some good reason why we could have them. A couple reason are they dont use as much gas, they do thing that humans can not do, but these cars can be dangerous to the community. i think that there should not be driverless cars, and cars should say how they are. | 3 |
The face on Mars is just a natural landform. When they took the picture it first looked like a face. Many people wondered if it was an alien made landform. It ended up being just a plain old landform on the red planet.
Many people at first were freaked out or amazed of at the face on the red planet. The story and face appeared in movies, radio talk shows, the web, social media, and magazines. But after they sent out more ships to take pictures of the land form they got a better shot. The picture looked like a natural landform. In the article it says in there "...a natural landform." The scientist at NASA also figured out that it was cloudy on the red planet when they took the picture. "The face on Mars is located at 41 degrees north martian latitude where it was April '98- a cloudy time of year on the red planet."Some of the cloud or mist could of been right over the landform when the picture was taken.
The Martian looks like a butte or mesa that is around the American West. "What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivanlent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American West."It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plains of Idaho," says Garvin."
As you can tell from the evidence provided the Face on Mars is not really a face. It is just a landform on the red planet. It was cloudy the day they took it. They got better pictures and investigated it. The picture actully is quite close to the Middle Butte in the Snake RIver Plains of Idaho. | 2 |
The human emotion is one of the most importnt parts of life. With out human emotions the world would be a blure. The human race uses more and more technology but the technology dose not understand human emotions. Computers need to understand human emotions for school purposes, save lifes, and helps depression.
A computer AI could help poeple in so many ways. If a student is falling asleep or bored it could change some of the material and could help them stay awake or keep them focased on school work. Computer AI could save lifes. poeple that comite scuicide often feel left out or lonely and with a computer AI it could be ther for the person and make them feel wanted and find wesites to help eith scuicide.
We need computer AI to help with school puroses, saving lifes, and makes someone fell wanted. If computer AI could help more poeple the world would be a better place to be and less poeple would commite sciucide. | 1 |
In my essay i will be telling you the advantages of limiting car usage. I am going to state facts from the the 1 st source through the 4th source.
In the 1st source one good fact they talked about was the greenhouse gas. They talked about how they can drastically reduce it. They all ready did it in the suburbs of Germany. There is a place there were you can not have a car and there are no drive ways no streets as a result more then 70 percent of vauban families do not own cars. And 57 percent sold there cars to move there. Even the environmental Protection Agency is promonting "car reduced" communities, and legislators are starting to act, if cautionsly. Some more advantages is it will be a healther place in the world because of less toxic gases.
In the 2nd source they took action and this takes place in paris. They passed a law were if your license plates were even numbered they were ordered to leave thier cars home or suffer a 31 dollar fine same goes for the odd numbers the next day. And if the dont pay there car gets impounded. They prefer to use diesel over gas because its better for the car. One fact is that it will give you less smog.
In the 3rd source there advantage is less pollution. It was the 3rd straight year were they banned cars. All they had was taxis, buses, bikes and, skateboards. Its a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution. For the first time two other colombian cities Cali and Valledupar joined the event.
In the 4th source there ideas were to get rid of cars in genrell. At the mobile world congress last year in Barcelona, Spain, Bill Ford, executive chairman of the ford motor comany, laid out a business plan for a world in which personal vehicle ownership is impractical or undesirable. He proposed partnering with the telecommunications industry to create cities in which "pedestrain, bikes, private cars, commercial and publictransportation traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emissions and improve safety." | 2 |
We need more people to join the Seagoing Cowboy program! It is For a good cause. You can meet new people, you can help people, and you can travel the world. It's a really fun job. It will be able to teach more about our world and the people living in it.
First of all, you can meet new people. Others may argue and say that not all people are friendly.However, if you meet someone from another counrty and learn more about that counrty and what has been going on in the counrty. You can learn about thier cultrues and what the believe in. They Can show you the type of food that is native to their counrty. I infer that if you join the Seagoing Cowboy program you will meet new people.
Second, you can help people. Others might argue and say that people are not always going to be thankful. However, you won't need them to be thankful you will now that you did the right thing. Imagine a counrty that just lost a war and need help to recover. That's where the Seagoing Cowboys program come into play. They will be there to bring supplies to help. They can give the counrty food and shelter to survive. I believe that if you join the Seagoing Cowboy program.
lastly, you can travel the world. People may argue and say that it could be dangerous. However, it could give you the chance to see thing you have only hear about on the radio or seen pictures of. it would be fun because you would be able to got to several diffirent counrties in a single day! You can finally be able to see the things other people have built. Imagine going back home and telling your friends and family members about what you have seen. I infer that if you join the Seagoing Cowboy program you will be greatful that you were able to travel the world.
You should join the Seagoing Cowboy program becasue you can meet new people, you can help people, and you can travel the world. It's fun being in the Seagoing Cowboy program and it is for a good cause. You will be proud of what you have done to help the world. | 3 |
I can imagine a time without people buying cars for themselves. But isn't that what we're trying to escape from in the technology world? Don't we want to be free of becoming lazy slobs? So how would inventing a car that can drive itself be useful?
I don't believe having self drivable cars would be necassarily a good idea. The reason why I say that is because no one would ever expierence the joy in buying their first car. No one would feel the excitment when passing their driver's test. Life would be a little bit more boring than what it's already becoming.
Also, what about malfunctions in having a self driving car. Like the paragraph said, would it be blamed on the owner or the manufactorer? I personally would blame the manufactuour for not checking in these precautions. It's very necassary to make sure all precautions and functions have been checked before selling a self drivable car.
So what woud happened if an accident were to happen? We'd blame the car, corret? If we're not driving the car and the car functions on itself, in reality it would be the car's functions fault for causing damaging. Now I can imagine a world without people buy cars, but can you imagine a world without fascination? I can if self driving cars become reality. | 2 |
My postition on driverless cars, to me I think is a good idea and a bad idea. I'm going to eaxplain why it is a good idea first.then i will explain why its a bad idea
The reason why I think its a good idea is because some drivers can attend to be unresponsible. For example, texting while driving. texting and driving is the one of the most leading killers in the united states. But, now, manufactring companies have the option to call and send text to people using voice activation.
Now, the other reason why I think its a bad thing to have driverless cars is because people can use it for the wrong reason. let me explain. say if a guy was driving home from work and he decides to put the car so were he has no control. the driver, could fall asleep or get distracted by his phone and not pay any attention to what is going on around him. this could cause many issues exspecially if he is not paying any attention to what he is doing. this could case accidents even death if the driver doesnt pay attention.
now that I have explained everything. My final descion is I think they shouldn't make driverless cars. I have explained everything on why its a good thing and a bad thing but I most say its a bad thig | 1 |
In the article "Driverless Cars Are Coming," the author presents both the positive and the negative aspects of driverless cars. Therefore, the author never takes a side on the matter. This response will side with the argument of being against driverless cars. This is for the following reasons; driverless cars promote less disciplined actions with not only adults but with teen drivers. Second, automated cars would not benefit the economy, it would damage it even further. Finally automated cars put safety features at risk compared to having an abled-human to do the driving functions manually.
Driverless cars can promote less disciplined actions among teen and adult drivers. This assumption is made because, driving under the influence, as well as underage drinking are huge topics of discussion in today's society. Driverless cars would give these two groups of people an exscuse to commit these actions. They would no longer have to worry about the reproccutions of such crimes. Such as putting other's lives in danger or getting caught by the police.
Automated cars would not benefit the economy in any way. In fact, the cars could worsen the already bad financial situation America faces now. This is because of the following quote from the article. "Originally, many futurists believed the key to developing self-driving cars someday wasn't so much smarter cars as smarter roads." "These smart-road systems worked suprisingly well, but they required massive upgrades to existing roads, something that was simply too expensive to be practical." These direct quotes further express to society that these automated cars require very new, very expensive roads.
Lastly, driverless cars put saftey features at risk compared to having an able-bodied human to do the functions instead. "Most driving laws focus on kepping drivers, passnegers, and pedestrians safe, and lawmakers know that safety is best achieved with alert drivers." This quote speaks entirely for itself.
In conclusion, the best option for society is to not have driverless cars because, they promote less disciplined actions with teen and adult drivers, they would not benefit the economy, and finally these driverless cars put safety features at risk compared to having an able-bodied human to do the manual functions when presented them. | 2 |
Dear Senator,
I am astudent from Lakewood Ranch High School in Bradenton. I have recently been informed about wanting to make certain changes to the election process. I am not of an age to vote, yet I am informed about how the election process works and the role the electorial college plays withing it.
The electoral college is a proces, not a place, which consists of 538 electors. During this process the public casts their vote for their favorite candidate. The votes are added up in each state and whichever candidate has got the most votes is for whom the state's representatives will vote towards. Each state's number of representatives is determined acoording to polpulation with California having the most electorial votes at 55. Electors can change their votes for whomever they'd like, yet it is highly unlikeley. In order for a candidate to win an election he or she must obtain 270 votes out of 538.
Some may argue that the people's votes don't necessarily influence the outcome of the election since electors can still change for whom they vote for, so they request that the popular vote determine who becomes president. This idea implies that all eligible citizens in the U.S. to vote in the election when truth being over half of the nationwide population does not cast a vote, with the leading cause being apathy. Also it is implied that all citizens are informed about who they vote for. During a presidential campaign, a political party will put most of their efforts in "swing states", these are the states with the most electors. This means that people from smaller states will recieve little or no information about the candidates causing the citizens to cast a blind vote.
The main reason of why the electorial campaign should determine who wins instead of the popular vote is the public can be too easily influenced. If a particular candidate is preferred in certain areas, the population in or around that area might be influenced to vote for that individual. Also people can be peer-pressured into voting for someone they might not agree with.
In my opinion the U.S. population is not ready for that kind of responsability. The electoral college was established to help the election proces run smoothly and it has worked for decades without any major flukes or flaws. So why change now? | 2 |
Pursuiting a study of Venus is a really great idea, you learn that its like earths twin. Venus has been called Earth's twin the Evening Star, because its one of the brightest points in the night sky. But the problem with Venus is that its nicknames misslead you. In paragraph two, it talks about how in some past missions they have sent space crafts that haven't survived the landing and if they did it was for only a few hours. It has been three decades since we sent anything to Venus. In paragraph three they talk about how Venus's surface temperatures are over 800 degrees and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times grater than Earth. With that environment its posible to crush a ship or submarine. Studying Venus can be a great thing but we still don't know alot about the planet sending some one up there is crazy. Eapasually because we haven't sent anything up there in three decades, sending a human would be crazy. | 1 |
Driverless cars are coming, no matter how much you may like it. They have their many pros and cons, like how they still need to be driven by a human to get in and out of a driveway, or to navigate a crash or roadblock, and how it went over 500,000 miles without crashing (paragraph two). This still fairly remarkably, even whilst it is still in it's prototype stage.
Although still proving to be an expensive alternative to normal cars, by being made by brands such as Tesla and Mercedes-Benz, to name a few, the evidence given in the article states that driverless cars can have the potential to be an incredibly safe method of transportation, as compared to human driven cars. They can be proven even safer to both pedestrians and policeman alike, by being utilized by people under the influence of alcohol, to drive home safley, and not harm any people utilizing the sidewalk or other drivers.
Although having to be driven by humans to do things like drive into driveways or navigate traffic, which would ultimatley void my previous statement on how it could protect passersby. Remember that these cars are still in the prototype stage of their lives, and developers are still working hard on making these cars as skilled as a driver as any human. These cars are coming closer and closer to becoming a reality that could be in every house by 2020. Much like everything else, they have their pros, and cons, but ultimatley prove that ve are one step closer to a better, safer tomorrow. | 1 |
VENUS
venus is actually a planet, venus sometims called the "evening star" in our solar system, venus is the second planet from our sun. while venus is simple to see from the distant but safe vantage point of earth, it has proved a very challenging place to examine more closely.
1- the umas stuydin the planet venus for more than the 3 decades numerous factors contribute to venus's reputation as a challenging plante for humans to study, despite its proximity to us but the planet venus is a small and dangerous planet in the system solar because venus has a atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets venus. even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in venus's atmosphere. on the planet's surface temperatures average over 800 degrees fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet. these conditions imposivilite the life in this planet and are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on Earth. beyond high pressure and heat, venusian geology and weather present adittional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning stikes to probes seeking to land on its surface.
2- also notable, venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system even thought mercury is closer to oue sun. if our sister planet is so inhospitable, why are scientists even discussing further visits to its surface? at thirthy-plus miles above the surface, temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 degrees fahrenheit, but the air pressure would be cole to that of sea level on earth.
3- the scientist has the idea in the future visit the venus and come humans and stay living in the planet venus but how?
astronomers are fascinated by venus because it may well once have benn the most earth-like planet in our solar system. long ago, venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like earth the value of returning to venus seems indisputable, but what are the options for making such a mission both safe and scientifically productive? NASA has one particularly comeplling idea for sending humas to study venus. NASA's posiible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of venus would allow scientist to float above the fray...
the humas can stay in venus? the solar power would be plentiful \, and radiation would not exceed earth levels. not easy conditions, but survivable for humas
striving to meet the challenge presented by venus has value, not only because of the insight t be gained on the planet itself, but also because hman curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors. our travels on earth and beyound should not be limit by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovations. | 1 |
There are many advantages to limiting car usage. Limiting car usage helps to cleanse the environment, saves citizens' money, and can help with improving citizens' health.
One advantage to limiting car usage is that it will cleanse the environment. Cars give off a number of gallons of gas each time they're used. These toxic chemicals found in gases pollute the air. Imagine breathing in all of that waste! Studies have actually found evidence that the toxins from car fuel are very harmful to the health of animals, plants, and humans. It can cause breathing difficulties associated with problems in the lungs when inhaled too heavily; as well as it dirties plants and makes it more difficult for them to grow healthy, like they should, and it can even poison and kill the animals. Who wants to take a risk so deadly?
Another advantage to limiting car usage is that it will save citizens' money. Cars aren't cheap. Depending on the make and model of the car, they can cost anywhere from $20,000 to $60,000. Insurance and keeping up with the maintenance of a car also costs a lot. Car owners should be expecting to pay $100-$500 a month for car maintence, and if insurance is required, depending on the state that the car owner lives in, than another additional $100. Finally, is the price for gas. The price for gas in this day in age economy ranges from $3.00-$6.00 per gallon! If a car owner has a long way to drive, but doesn't have a lot of money, he/she may want to consider taking a bus or carpooling with someone to help them out.
A rather more humorous advantage to limiting car usage, is that it could help give citizens a work out. Instead of driving where they need to go, people could walk to their desired destination and burn a ton of calories while doing it! Or in contrast to waiting for a friend to pick them up outside their houses, they could walk to a bus stop and wait for the bus to take them wherever they need to go. This also relates to saving money and helping cleanse the environment. Citizens' will pay less for a gym membership now that they're getting a work out. They'll also be helping the environment by not burning all of those fuel wastes just to get to where they need to go. It's a win-win for everyone!
Of course, there are many advantages to limiting car usage for our citizens, their wallets, and the environment. These three are just a few of the plentiful, conservative ways out there; however, they're all extroardinarily efficient. | 3 |
To many people, the Face is not an alien made landform. NASA has done plenty of research to find out what the Face was, and their research does not lead to that. The people who do think that this is an alien made landform have not done as much of the research to figure it out, since they do not have the same high technology equiptment that NASA has. Many people think that the Face was made by aliens, but I believe that it is naturally formed, and it just happens to look like a face.
There is no real evidence stating that aliens are real, or that they have ever existed. There has been research done, but no clear evidence that they are real, leading to the conclusion that most people think that they are not real. The Face, to some researchers, looks like what is similar to a mesa or butte. This is a natural landform that looks like a landform you would typically find around the American West. The differences in the pictures over the years help explain why the Face is not alien made.
The pictures over the years change gerastically. In 1976, the picture is pretty blurry, looks smooth, and almost resembles a face on a statue. In 1998, the picture looks a little more like itself, a little rougher, and it does not resemble a face as much as the first picture. Lastly, the picture in 2001 looks more like a landform and is a little rough, but it is a much clearer picture than the other two. The last picture still resembles a face almost, but I believe that that is just a coincidence. NASA did plenty of research on the Face.
NASA has done a lot of research on the Face to prove if there is life on Mars or not. The Face was found by one of NASA's spacecrafts called the Viking 1, which was taking pictures of possible landing spots for the other spacecraft, Viking 2. They let the picture out to the public, which got really popular really fast. The Face was really popular for 25 years! After those 25 years, they decided to get a better picture of the face. The picture turned out to be ten times sharper than the original photos. The pictures showed that the photo was a landform. Some of the scientists were not satisfied, and had to get a better photo, which still showed that the Face was just a landform.
The Face was a natural landform on Mars that happened to look like a face. Although many believe that it was created by aliens, the evidence shows that it is just a landform. The three pictures that were taken help compare and tell us why it was not alien made. There is no evidence stating that aliens are real, so it is not a valid conclusion to state that aliens created the landform. The evidence shows that the Face is, in fact, just a landform which coincidentally looks like a face. | 3 |
the use of this technology is valuble because students get bored in classes and sometimes mad at computers. this could help re-energize students and maybe even calm them down when their computer isnt working right.
students myself included become extremely bore when just looking at a screen and filling out some worksheet or project. but with this new technology the computer could change a lesson to make it more entertaining. making an online project or worksheet more enjoyable, and enhancing the students chances of getting a good grade. students also tend to get upset with their computers and other technology during school, and doing things like slamming the screen shut and hitting the keyboard. but the computer could detect that they are angry and open somekind of stress releiver like a video game or a desktop destroyer.
in conclusion this new technology would be very valuble and helpful for students and even people working at say a desk job. | 1 |
People do not need cars that can drive themselves. If people were to 'drive' a
car that has the capability to drive by itself.If that same car got in an accident then taht
would mean that the driver is releaing more in the car.
That would also mean that the dirver is not paying attention to the most important thing when driving; the road. Driving laws focus on people safety when people around them are 'driving' and give justice to those who need it; but how can people do that when other would not know who to blame-- the driver or the manucfacturer of that car.
Traffic law was something long ago and it was invented, for human purposes. Majority of people are always careless when driving. Those drivers think that driving is a game and those people don't release their mistake until they have to pay the price. For the actions of those people and for the security and safety of other law where made, specifically driving laws. " Most driving laws focus on keeping drivers, passengers, and pedestrians safe......As a result, in most states it is illgal even to test computer-driven cars" The author of the article even implies about cars not driving themselves being a concern and even a threat to others. When people make laws they do not do it just for fun. Most states that value their citizens make laws as harsh as they may be to keep people safe. Something everyone mostly people who are parents want for their kids. Parents may not be very happy to see many or even a few drivers distrated because they have a car that drives itself. thay would mostly see it as a threat for their family safety.
Laws change all the time, but just because they change does not mean it always for the best cause or that verything will turn out as people were hoping they would. "Still, even if traffic laws change, new laws will be needed in order to cover........-the driver or the manufacturer?"
In this detail the author is implying that if they could change the laws as many time as peoplecould.
The question people should be asking is that will that change anything in the way people would rely on the car. Will the laws decrease the numbers of careless drivers and the amount of accidents cause by those careless drivers. Driving laws would be much harder to control with all of those thing in hand. For example if a person that had a car that could 'drive by itself', which cause the driver to not pay attention to the road. Then the car would start malfunction and cause a huge accident in which cause a life of another. Who would be at fault and the careless driver or the mechanic of the car that malfunction.
Many Television show and movies have invision the future with car that can drive and do other amaxing stuff. Those are pretty cool stuff to do. "television and movies have long fascinated with cars that could drive themselves." Now that something to wish for, right? Whrong if you are fascinated with car that could drive themselves that okay, but have theyv stop and look the negative side of this. "Automakers are .......car capable of driving on autopilot 90 percent of the time." Would sane peron really rely on that 90 percent when there is a 10 percent chance that something could go wrong. If a person values their life when it comes to a surgery which could save their life. Woudn't it be reasonable that person would think twice about putting risk to themselves and even there family. When that a 90 percent chance of not living.
In conclusion people should have fun with things that enginners bring. Though just because it is fun and many peopldo it and look at the consequences that could cause does not mean anyone should rely on it. Remeber that when a person see's a positive that perosn who ever it may be MUST look at the negatives and see if it really worth everything. Is 90 percent really capable of car driving itself. Are traffic laws really going to stop all people and would changing the laws really protect others that are careful and value their lifes? That would be up to the audience. | 3 |
In the passage the author gave some really good information about the new inovation to emotional technology. As the technology world is growing we are going to have new opertunities such as this one to make our life's easier. But the real question is this good? Or could it be bad?
Honestly i think it would be a great invention and it would sell great on products like Apple phones and also it would be great for students with homework. Technology is always growing and the new products will make it grow more and more popular. How the world is now it will become over popular and i think too much of a good thing is a bad thing like fruits they are good for you but if you eat too many you could consume a mass amount of sugar. In the passage the author said "For example, if you smile when a Web ad appears on your screen, a smililar ad might follow. But if you frown, the next ad will be different." How would they know what your facial expression is? By watching through a camera and what else can the camera see? Humans relie in the enternet to bank for us, communicate for us, and know everything for us. Losing our phone is like losing our wallet. The enternet knows way too much information about us let alone when they know our facail expressions.
As much as people would love to have this technology the world could live without it. Students could ask thier techer for help so they know how to solve the hard problems. And people could learn to tell others facial expressions. | 2 |
Have you evere want to chage whay you were learing becaus you didnt understand it are it just go boring. There is an technology that can help fix thata and it is called the Facial Action Coding System. I think that theis system is a good idea to have in a classroom for students.
In most classrooms there is only one teacher and he/she cant get to every student at the same time. If they implement this system into schools arounld the would then the program can alter it slef for that student tto help him or her to better understand the infromatin they are learning. this system can also he the teacher beetter understand what their student can undersand and what the need to work on.
Another reason this system is good for students is becaus it can benift them when they are learning a new langauge, the systme can aluter the program the student is wourking on to an easer or more diffeclt lesson.
So have you ever want you lesson to change so you can better understand it. the Facial Action Coding System is a good way to sater with. In all this system is a good way for schools to hel their students lean and understand infromather better. | 2 |
I wouldnt use this Facial Action Coding System on students because it those enables computers to dentify humans emotions but not real ones, it just shows the human emmotions byt the expression but not the real emotion that the human is feelin, Mona Lisa's natural face might be like that but not because the Facial Action Coding System identified that she has several different emotions showing in that paint from Da Vinci means that she was for real feeling those emotions, I think that is just how her face is , because all the people in this planet have dufferent faces that we cant not even describe if they feeling this or that because there face is just like that, But sometimes its true the Facial Action Coding System might be true because Dr. Huang observed that Da Vinci has studied anatomy to help them paint facial muscles precisely enough to convey specific emotions.
Dr. Huang predicts that it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor.
I t says that the same technology can make computer animated faces more exoressive.
I believe that the Facial Action Coding System works perfectly good and does indentify humans expression like Dr. Haung said but not real emotion becasue the person can just be expressing some emotions but that doesn't mean they feeeling it that way. | 1 |
Facial Action Coding System is a potential and valuable way to read students' emotions while in class. Through the use of this technology, it could bring forth various opportunites. The system could open doors to the genuine thoughts of students to let adults better understand a view into their minds . Utilizing this technology will illustrate a positive change to the school by giving instructors insight to a students mental health, engagment with certain topics, and learning style.
The mental health of a student is a vital piece of information that a teacher should know. In the text, the author states that, "Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication...So computers need to understand that too" (Alto 6). By writing this, he conveys to readers that the software can process your emotions. Therefore, if a student demonstrates a pattern of unhappy emotion, an administrator can then speak to the student and find out what might be going on in their home life or if they need to see a counselor. If a computer could give insight to happy or sad emotions, what other emotions could it detect?
The knowledge of how a student learns or the level of engagment they have within the classroom is a key component to modifying lessons and ensuring the most enriching education for a certain individual. Within the article, Alto inserts a quote from Thomas Huang, a professor, in which he says, "A classroom computer could recongnize when a student is becoming confused or bored" (Alto 6). This means that opportuinities for a student to get a more indivualized education increase, and teachers will have the ability to revise lessons in order to adjust to level of understanding majority of students have. It would also create a tremendous chance for the students who are falling below average to be identified and recieve the propering tutoring needed. Would these new adjustments then lead to a better understanding of learning styles?
Each individual in a classroom has a unique way of learning that requires attention and adaption on the lesson in order to fully let the student reach their potential to excell with their education. The author claims that the technology could, "...modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor" (Alto 6). This gives the information that the system could be able to analyze the way students learn, and give access to various learning styles of their student. This would enable them to then adhere to the students education needs, and therefore open doors to make break throughs with children that had been struggling.
There are many factors to consider when contemplating the use of this technology in the classroom. Although, the overall result of putting this system in place would be positive. The ability to detect students emotions will enable instructors to teach more attentively to each indivdual student, causing the childs achievement level to rise snd their education to strengthen. Enriching education and making it personal to the student will in time increase passing test scores, the number of college graduates, and literacy rate. Schools should consider encorperating the FACS technology in order to obtain a brighter, better future for their kids and country. | 4 |
The Mystery of the Unmasking Face on Mars
In the article "Unmasking the Face on Mars" people think that the face was created by aliens. In this essay I will tell you if the face was created by aliens or if it was just a natural landform. Why would people think this face was created by aliens? Or was it just a natural landform? What would you think about the face being created by aliens?
Now that we got that out of the way, Why would people think that the face was created by aliens? There was not much evidence that the aliens were the ones that created the face. People can not just go around saying that aliens caused the face to happen, Because there was very little proof that it caused by aliens. Garvin also said, "It reminds him of Middle Buttle in the Snake River Plain of Idaho." In paragraph 12. And in paragraph 7 it also says that there was no alien momentum after all.
Also, Some people think that the face is just a natural landform. I think that the face was caused why a natural landform because I found more information that the face was caused by a natural landform. Like, in paragraph 7 Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) team took a photo and when the image first appeared on a JPL web site it revealed that it was a natural landform.
I think that if the face was really created by aliens there would have been more evidence or proof saying that aliens had created the face. Because there was more proof saying that the face was created by a natural landform. If there was more proof about the face being created by aliens than it just being a natural landform then I am not sure what I would have done.
Last of all, I found out that there was more proof in the face being created by a natural landform than the face being created by aliens. There was more people talking about how it was not created by aliens and there was also people saying that there was proof saying that the face was created by aliens. But, I would have to say I will stick with there being more proof about the face being created by a natural lanform. | 2 |
The electoral college, a mistake? Many Americans are unsatisfied with the electoral college and the system it follows. The electoral college has disapointed millions of Americans of any social class. According to
The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong , by Bradford Plummer, " Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of the electors, who in turn elect the president." America should abolish the electoral college as it has upset 60 percent of americans and elected unwanted Presidents.
"This year voters can expect another close election in which the polular vote winner could lose the presidency", as said by Bradford Plummer. Every year Americans fall stricken by dissapointment from the electoral college. The system of the electoral college is a poor representation of american ideals as canidates do not even bother spending time in non-swing states. According to Bradford Plummer, in the 2000 campaign seventeen states did not even see the canidates at all and 25 percent of the largest media markets did not even see a single campaign ad. As previously proven, the electoral college must be abolished due to the unfairness of its system.
The electoral college believers say that the electoral college stops disaster from happening, this is false. As Americans vote they vote for a slate of electors, which definitly creates a loss of the opposing or minority votes. This is because of the winner-takes-all system that the electoral college runs off of. When the majority of the votes is accounted for, the minority votes are basically thrown away in a sense. Also, the electoral college ruins the chance of a more correct voting experience for old and new voters, making Americans ashaimed and unwilling to vote because of the feeling of their vote meaning nothing or perhaps being crippled by the electoral college.
When the founding fathers of America created the electoral college it was an age without technology, making the electoral college a grand idea. Long ago, the electoral college served a patriotic and noble purpose as their was no technology and much less people. In todays age of technology, the record keeping and election process could not get any better as long as the electoral college is abolished and never reincarnated. The electoral college abolishes individual votes for the majority, crippling the American voting experience and smuthering it in shame and dissapointment. The electoral college is outdated in many ways and should be dismissed from America.
In conclusion, the electoral college is shaming Americans from every state. This system should be permanantly abolished becuase of its lack of fairness and reliability. Every American vote should count just as much as its opposing vote instead of being dismissed. Free the vote and let the electoral college be forever dismissed of its dutys. | 3 |
The new technology called Facial Action Coding System classify peoples emotions by using avanced technology. This technology can help students find out why they can't focus or why they are having trouble learning new things.
Facial Action Coding System can classify a human emotions better than a human can classify another humans emotions. In paragraph seven the author asks "Does you expression in the mirror suggest emotion? Can your lab partner recognize which one?" Facial Action Coding System can show which emotion and how much of that emotion is felt. Facial Action Coding System been tested on the Mona Lisa and has shown that "she's 83 percent happy,9 percent disgusted,6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry". No human can classify every percent of every emotion a person has. Facial Action Coding System construcs a 3-D computor model of a face and analysis fourty-four major facial muscles to find out which emotion and how much of that emotion. Those forty-four muscles must move like a human muscle.
If students could have this technology in a classroom they could find why they can not focus or if they are depressed. If the students can be diegnosed they can go to counciling, get medicine, or get tutoring to catch up on work or help them focus. Facial Action Coding System would help students get better grades in the long run. This is why students need Facial Action Coding Systems in the classroom. | 2 |
Dear Senator of Florida:
The Electoral College should be abolish, because one time the winner of the popular vote lose, and that represent problems to society. As we know the Electoral College process consist of the selection of the electors. They consist of 538 electors. More than 270 electoral votes is requiered to establish a president. The presidental election is held every four years on the Tuesday, after ther first Monday in November. If you fote for your favorite candiudate for the presidential election, you also help to select the candidates electors. Almost all states have a ''winner-takes-all'' system that gives the electors the winning for the presidential candidate. however Maine and Nebraska have a ''proportional representatation.''
After the winnig the governor preparews a certificate listing all the names of the candidates, and the candidates electors. To this list declares the winning presidential candidate and the electors who will represent him in December of the election year. After that all the information of the list will be send to the Ntional Archives as part of an official records of the presidential election of that year. So in conclusion I belive that the Electoral College should be abolish for an option, because it causes many problems and those problems lead to confusion and arguments that will make look bad the US goverment.
The Electorla College system give no the votes for the candidate of the election, but to the electors that they will choose who the new president would be. The electors could be anyone in sates convections, in states party's central committee, or sometimes the presidential candidate would choose their electors. So to give more infromatiohn to my concerning, the single best argument against the Electoral College is the disaster factor. in the 2000 fiascop was the biggest election ciris in the century. Consider that the state legislature are responsible for picking the electors, and those elector could decide what to choose. Electors sometimes have refuse to vote for their candidate or party's candidate, and choose whoever they like. It happen whe Vice President Richard Nixonvalidate only his oponet's electors. MOost of the time they fear of a presidential tie, so that it would be throw to the House of Represntatives ,each vote from there it represent 500,000 voters. So the election is only away from catastrophe and problmes to the candidates, the electors and the House of Representatives. So to many the Electoral College is unfair to the voters, because od the system ''winer-takes-all.''...
Many candidates know they are not going to wim, so ther prefer to not make their capaing in the media or around the city, many people even have never see them. So the information gives the conclusion that the Electoral College is unfair, out of date, and to irrational. The best conclusion to these current problem is to abolish the outdate Electoral College.
So if you tink not to abolish the current system, the Electoral College gives an anachosim, a non-democratic method of selecting a president. Each party selects a candidate that their trust and want no nominee. There are five reason for retaining the Electoral College, but also it lacks of democratic issues , and not liberal or conservatives reasons. Firts, a certany of outcome ,
a dispute over outcome over the Electoral College vote .
by giving the electoral vote ti gives more oportunities to a candidate to win in popular vote. The slight plurality crates and oportunitie to the candiate to have a abetter outcome.
Second , the Electoral College needs a presidential candidate. So a solid favorite candidate give oportunity to him. Third the winner-takes-all method give even more better oportunites to the candidates as they get all. Fourth the bigger the satte the better chances are to win the presidential election, a victory of a bigger produce chances to get more electoral votes that boost the numbers. So finally in fifht the Electoral College avoid problems of elections in which candidates received a majority of votes. So in the finally conclusion you can infer that the Electoral College have problems but also got good parts.
In the end people may think is good or bad,but if you see its ups and downs it have betters good tyhings but still it gives arandom outcome to one of the candidates it could be the favorite or the competition. So is better if the Electoral College is abolish for tis ramsom outcomes. | 2 |
Does students emotions matter in a classroom?Is using technology to see their emotions, actually useful?The answer to that is yes.The use of technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable.Students facial expressions can say a lot about how they feel or what they go through, and with the help of technology, teachers maybe able to see what works to get their students more happy.In the following, you will read why technology can actually help read students facial expressions.
Humans mostly use facial expressions and emotions to show how they feel,rather than talking about them. Usually humans can tell how another person feels by looking at their expressions, but other times humans just hide it. Emotional expressions are very important in human communication, especially if a student is in class studying, because then the teacher can help and see how
the student feels. That is where technology comes in.Teachers do not always know what to do when the students are bored or upset, but technology can help with that. Dr. Huang says,"A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored," Dr. Huang predicts. "Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor"(paragraph 6, D'Alto).This shows that the computer can help change the students emotions to help learning more interesting for them.The computer can change its screen according to how the student feels about it. Dr. Huang says," For example, 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"(paragraph 6,D'Alto).The author shows how the students can choose what they want to see to make learning more interesting for them, with the help of technology.
Sometimes students dont want to talk about their feelings. When they have this program in their classroom, the students will have to smile at certain things so that they can watch what they want to see.Smiling helps a lot with emotion and feelings.The author writes,"According to the Facial Feedback Theory of Emotion, moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions, but also may even help produce them"(paragraph 9, D'Alto).This shows that the more students smile for the computers, the more happy they may also feel.The author writes,"Empathy(feeling someone else's emotional state) may happen because we unconsiously imitate another person's facial expressions"(paragraph 9, D'Alto). The author states how one persons feelings can affect others. The computer can also do that to a student by letting them see things that make them happy.
Students may struggle with certain things that they are currently learning, so the computer can help make it easier and more fun for the student to understand. Teachers often just teach the way they know how to, and they dont pay enough attention to the students emotions and facial expressions.Technology can join the student and help teach him/her in the way that they enjoy.This can lead to good grades and more happiness.Its like a computer can have and understand human emotions, that some humans may have difficulty understanding.The author writes,"Of course most of us would have trouble actually describing each facial trait that conveys happy, worried, etc"(paragraph 5, D' Alto).This shows that humans are normally not capable of telling anothers humans emotions. The author writes, "...da Vinci studied human anatomy to help them paint facial muscles precisely enough to convey specific emotions. His new computer software stores similar anatomical information"(paragraph 5, D'Alto).THis shows that the new computers have the capabitliy to see how a human is feeling, and help the students with learning.
The "Facial Action Coding System" has found a brilliant way of helping students learn. Emotions can really affect how a certain student is concentarting in education, and sometimes it can even take over. Humans use facial expressions to show their emotional expressions, and when their computer sees how they feel, it can make it more fun and interesting for the student to learn.Students dont have to even mention their feelings, the computer can just see it.Students tend to smile so that they can see what they want to see. The use of technology to read the emotional expressions of a student in a classroom is definitely valueable. | 3 |
Some people may not like the fact of limiting car usage, but there are many advantages to this. Limiting car usage could help in many different ways.
Having a car is very tense you always have to worry about things but when you dont have a car its much easier on you. In Vauban 70 percent of people dont own cars, and 57 percent chose to sell their car to move there. Not having a car is more convient if everything is right around the corner. In Source 1 it states, "stores are just a walk away and not on highways". Also, " In previous bills, 80 percent of appropiations have by law gone to highways and only 20 percent to other transport".
The Over populated use of cars causes pollution also. Source 3 states "Diesels make up 67 percent of vehicles in France, campared to a 53.3 percent average of Diesel engines in the rest of Western Europe, according to Reuters". Some people abuse the use of cars and dont think about what it affects. With the limiting of car usage Source 3 Explains "Parks and sports centers have also bloomed throughout the city; uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks; rush-hour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic; and new restaurants and upscale shopping districts have cropped up.
People should really take car usage limiting seriously because it could help them out in a major way. So the next time you go to crank up your car just take this into consideration. | 1 |
I think it will be ok because it will be cool to see other painting emotional. Then people can know how she was during the painting. In classroom it could be ok but i think some students wont like it . Some students might not want what emotional there feeling that day but some would liek it. I will be ok with it. Also it will also be cool it painting a drawing then see it emotional.
They did this in Unversity of Amsterdam with Dr. Huang they developoing better ways for humans and computers to communicate. They use 3-D computer model of the face. It will show every emotional u are feeling when u are there. It called Facial Action Coding System or FACS. The facial expressions for each emotion are universeal. Humans perform this same impressive "calculation" every day.
In conclusion it will be a good class to be in and will be fun. They should make a class for it so other students can see the new technolgy. Dr. Hung is smart for making this and the other people that help him. I would like to help him with the project that he did . The FACS will be good for every one that want to see his emotion. | 0 |
Everyone has a role in the community: such as citizens , mayors , senators , or even presidents. These high roles are selected by the citizens within the community. Some people have a technique of who they vote for but everyone follow the same system, the Electoral College. "The founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a compromise between election of the president by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens." - souce 1 . The Electoral College gives citizens that meet the criteria a chase to vote.
The Electoral College is a system use for citizens to pick who they would like to make and force the laws. "The Electoral College process consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congess."- Source 1. It's many steps to picking a president. You have to pick candidates and those candidates have their share of electors, which are chosen by a political party under certain qualifications. "The electors are generally chosen by the candidate's political party, but state laws on how the electors are selected and what their responsibilities are . . . ." -source 1.
The Electoral College has many flaws that can happen but is unlikely to happen. The citizens really don't vote for the president, they put they trust in an electors hand to choose the right President. "But each party selects a slate of electors trusted to vote for the party's nominee (and that trust is rarely betrayed). . ."-Source 3. Its unlikely for the trust to be betrayed but it has happened during the Gore vs. Bush campaign in 2000. The Electoral College, despite its lack of democratic history, have five practical reasons for retaining- Certainty of Outcome, the President chosen becomes everyone president, some states are swing states, some are big states, and they try to avoid run-off elections.
"At the most basic level, the electoral college is unfair to voters."-source 2. While others may want to get rid of the Electoral College due to the unfairness it brings, others may feel different and would like to keep it going due to it given the citizens a choice. "You help choose your state's electors when you vote for President because when you vote for your candidate you are actually voting for your candidates's electors."-Source 1.
"Voters in presidential elections are people who want to express a political prefereance rather than people who think that a single vote may decide an election. . . ."-source 3. The electoral college should continue to help citizens vote for campaign runners role in the community because it provides the citizens a choice and also a voice. A vote may not change a election but every vote will count and make a difference. | 2 |
Venus is not only one of the brightest points of light in the night sky but is also one of the most dangerious planets in our solar system. It is the second planet from our sun, it's sometimes referred to as Earths twin. We have sent numerous spacecrafts to land on Venus but not a single one has lasted more then a few hours in its atmostphere. This is why no spacecraft has touched down for three decades on its surface, because of a thick atmostphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide covers all of Venus.
Venus average temperature is over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times grater then what we experince on our own planet. Astronmers are still fascinated by Venus even though it's dangers because it may well once have been the most Earth like planet in our solar system. Atronmers think that it was covered with oceans, valleys, moutains, and craters, so it easily could have had forms of life on Venus. NASA has a idea of sending humans to Venus, what they would do is having a blimp like vehicle hovering over 30 miles over Venus landscapes to collect information.
Venus is a dangerious plant but it could also a planet that has a lot of potenial of old life forms. But nobody knows for sure how Venus was its still a question to us, until we can see for ourselfs. Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation. | 1 |
In 1976 a surveyor caught a absurd picture coming from the face of Mar's planet. By face, it was literally a face. NASA didn't know how to explain but with the explanation that it was a mesa or some other landfiorm on the surface. Is it or is it not? Many people think its aliens, but let's look at the big picture. There is pure evidence that what you're seeing is a landform and I have some examples.
After close survey of the " face " NASA has concluded that what we are seeing is a mesa. In the text it says, " What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or a mesa-landforms common in the American West." That is proof that scientists who specialize in this wwork confirm that what we are looking at are just mesas or buttes.
But really if there was aliens on MArs then we would've seen some evidence by now. If aliens built this then why didn't we see any tracks or signs that the aliens built this thing. NASA has taken photographs of the moon and Mars many times. In those times if there was alien life then I would think that their would be some sort of sign that leads us to believe that we are not alone.
Everyone knows that the alien theory is just fun in games. People just let those kinds of pictures out mainly for the enjoyment of the people. In the text it says, " The authors reasoned it would be a good way to engage the public and attract attention to Mars." That shows that NASA just released this photo so that the people would have some entertainment theorizing what this is.
Another big piece of evidence was shown in this story. In the text it says, " Scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cyodnia, only this one had unusual shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharoah." Thats the sole cause. It was just a mesa that was photographed at the right time. If the shadows weren't there then it would just look like a regular mesa on Mar's surface. Also if you look in that picture you will see other mesas or landforms surrounding it. So that tells you that that area is full of landfroms.
In conclusion, there is so much evidence showing that this was just a landform. And if you still believe that thi is aliens then you need to look at the facts. Aliens might be real but we need to find evidence that they did this before we go and say that they did. Based on evidence we can conclude that this picture is of a mesa taken at the right time to where it looks like a face. | 3 |
In cities such as Vauban, Paris, and Bogota, people are getting serious about cutting down on the vast usage of cars. The "car free" trend is beginning to spread throughout the world, and even to places in America. By limiting car usage, the state of the environment improves, a more healthy lifestyle is promoted, and opportunities for other innovations are brought into the light.
In Paris, a driving ban was enforced to help clear the air of polluants. This ban lowered the congestion by 60 percent, and according to reporter Robert Duffer, "The smog rivaled Bejing, China, which is known as one of the most polluted cities in the world." Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gasses in Europe, and up to 50 percent in areas where cars are used more often, such as the United States. The Environmental Protecion Agency is promoting car reduced communities in America, where even legislators are beginning to act. By elimitating cars from the everyday equation, one also eliminates the greenhouse gasses and other pollutants, which makes the planet a healthier place to live.
With less and less cars being utilized, there are more opportunites for people to get active by biking, walking, and participating in other active means of getting from point A to point B. According to news reportes Andrew Selsky and Elisabeth Rosenthal, "The swish of bicycles and the chatter of wandering children drown out the occassional distant moter", and "Parks and sports centers have bloomed throughout the city; uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks." Without cars, citizens are encouraged to get active. Condensed cities allow people to walk to their destination, which drastically improves an individual's heart health, along with aerobic activity such as biking.
An official from Transportation for America says, "All of our development since World War II has been centered on the car, and that will have to change." Sociologists believe that America has passed peak driving, and cars are no longer the focus of improvement. The Internet makes telecommuting possible, which is much more convenient than using automobiles because people can feel connected without the drive. This and the rise in cellphones implies that while innovations used to be focused on transportation, telecommuting is the new big thing.
With many areas participating in the eventual elimination of automobiles, many are following suit. Sociologists believe that cars will eventually disappear. By cutting down on our usage of cars, we help the enviromnent, promote health, and focus innovations elsewhere. | 3 |
Facial Action Coding System or also known as FACS is a new and revolutionary technology that can recognice emotions. This new technology was invented by Dr. Huang. Dr. Huang created this amazing tehnology so people would know how others are feeling so they can get help. He even goes and says that it could be use in cumpter classes. So would it be a good idea?
The answers is yes. Now the reasons i think its a good idea its because it can help the student to actually enjoy what they are learning . So the reason that i can help the student is because if they feel bored in classroom the computer would notice and it would take action, for instance it could change the lesson. And that is what Dr. huang predicts as in the paragragh he says "Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor ". So that is why i beileve it would be a great idea for those computer classes.
In conclusion Facs is a great technology that should be use to help others and to know how they are feeling. Because as we just saw this is something that is usefull and that it could help. Human communication is nonverbal and that includes emotional communication that's why this piece of technolgy could be and will be usefull. | 1 |
Seagoing cowboy might seem pretty boring in all but it's not. You can have a lot of fun on these trips around the world and experience amazing things you have probably never experienced or thought you would experience with your friends and probably your family. On these kinds of trips you will make many memories that you will never want to forget.
On Seagoing events you can do many things that you would want to do or experience that can be very fun. On these kind of trips you have a lot of freetime, in your freetime you can do a variety of things such as table-tennis, fencing, boxing, reading, and many more things that might interest you. On these trips you get to feed animals and maybe sometimes even train them or play games with these animals. You get the experience to explore many rivers and even oceans that might excite you and even get to see some parts of land. You can help a lot of people out on these trips by caring for them by bringing food supplies, animals and many more things that can be helpful to the people and even the enviremont. You also get to experience going on many ships that come in many different sizes.
As you can see there are many good reasons to join the Sea Cowboys and why they are a good program that can help many people and probably even yourself. I hope some day you become a Seagoing Cowboy just like I did and help many people get through hard times that they might be experiencing in their lifetime. I promise you it will be a opportunity of a lifetime that you will never forget or want to forget. | 2 |
The "Face of Mars" may look like a face but it really is not, it is natural landfrom. When NASA unveiled the image to the public of the Face, they put a note saying "huge rock formation . . . which resembles a human head . . . formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth." Most people belive that it an ancient civilization on Mars, because of what they see in movies, books, magazines, and even rado talk shows.
People think the face is "bona fide" evidence of life on Mars. Those people say that NASA would rather hide evidence of life on Mars, say conspiracy theorists. Few scientist believed the Face was an alien artifact, photographong Cydonia became a priority for NASA eighteen years after the mission ened.
Jim Garvin said that they felt that it was important to the taxpayers, so they photographed the Face as soon as they could get a shot of it. In 1998 Mars Global Sureyor flew over Cydonia for the first time and snapped a picture ten times sharper that the original.
The 2001 picture shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa, landfroms common around the American West. Jim Garvin says that it reminds him of most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho, but it really a lava dome that takes the from of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars. | 1 |
I think that the new technology "Facial Action Coding System" is a great idea to use in the classroom. The new techology is perfect for teachers to use because it could give the teacher some insite on how the student is feeling, Lost, Confused, Distressed, Bored, Ect. Those are the main resons people do not learn much about what the presentation or lecture is about.
In the passage it states the teacher will be able to see if a student is confused. If the student is the teacher would be able to stop the lecture and ask some questions. Even if they are not saying anything about their confusion the teacher could ask them after class and save them from loosing a day of notes just by being confused. This new technology not only could save students from bad grades in class but it could tell the teacher how the student is feeling or even thinking.
If the student shows and emotion on his face like depression or anger the teacher would know and could ask that student what is wrong. The teacher would be able to comfort that student or even help he/she through that rough time in their life. The student could have just lost a loved one or got into a fight with a close friend so they may be only thinking about that and not about their classwork. Teacher could tell that students parents about what is wrong and their parents could comfort their child as well.
The Facial Coding System could you used worldwide around schools from elementary all the way through college.
This technology could help many schools that are big and many kids in one classroom. With this technology the teacher would even be able to know if the student has a question. This could primarily help many students with their grades. I know that when I get confused I do not stop the teacher to ask the question, I wait until the end of class and forget that I had a question. The teacher would know this and I would get that question answered either during the lecture or after class. That is why I think that this new technology is revelutionary. This could help thousands if not millions with their grades and school life. | 3 |
The ability to learn is something that an individual have to accept. Learning and the ability to accept to be taught depends on the Individual's mood. The Facial Coding System in schools will help the instructors know the right time that the student's ability to learn is high. The Fecial Coding System in schools will help the students breake their limits on education, Help the teachers detect the right teaching moments, and help educate the society on the relations of the humans themselves.
The Facial Coding system will help the students perform the their high abilities. In the article the author says that emotions in the classroom would determine the perfomance of the students. The text states that "" A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored," Dr. Huang predicts. " Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor" (D'Alto). By detecting the students emotions then the computer would help them learn better.
The Facial Coding System would alert the teachers to help the students. The system would help the student over come the issues that they might have either in school or home by the help of the teachers. The text states that "To an expert, faces don't lie; these muscles clues are sometimes used to spot when a "smiling" politician or celebrity isn't being truthful" ( D'Alto). This shows that FCS would help eliminate the bullying issues in school and help the the school be a safe learning environment.
The Facial Coding System would help educate the society. The emotions of the people around would help the people or students know the right moments to make decisions. The text states that "To an expert, faces don't lie; these muscles clues are sometimes used to spot when a "smiling" politician or celebrity isn't being truthful" ( D'Alto). This would help the people choose the right people in politics.
In conclusion the Fecial Coding System in schools will help the students breake their limits on education, Help the teachers detect the right teaching moments, and help educate the society on the relations of the humans themselves. This system would make the society safe and even prevent some of the situations that the world face due to the anger and emotion managements. | 3 |
Venus is Earth's sister plant or as other people like to call it, "Earth's twin" Venus is counted as Earth's sister or "twin" planet because of how close in desity and size Venus is to Earth. Scientists have tried and tried to explore Venus with little robots but the little robots only lasted a couple of hours on Venus's surface, Venus is believed to be uch like Earth is now. Scientists believe that Venus used to be covered in oceans, greenlife and other type's of life before Earth. Scientists are worried to physically go on Venus themselves because of the dangers they will facewhen arriving on Venus, Venus's atmosphere is blanketetd in a thick blanket of almost 97%, there are clouds of sulforic acid, tempertures reach to at least 800 and the atmosphere pressure is 90 times greater than Earth's. The author thinks that scientists should get up close and personal despite the danger or "challenges" that they fac from Venus because, we could have insights on Venus, we wouldn't get to sample anything, weshouldn't be limited in exploring just because of the dnagers. We should explore to the very edges of imaginations and innovation. | 1 |
Dear senator
I would change to election by popular vote because electrol college we can not vote for the presidents we would have to vote for how many number a of slate pledge for the person you decided to vote for and the electors can be anybody not holding public office. the person that picks the electors it depends on the state sometimes its state convention,sometimes the party's central committee,sometimes the presidental candidates themselves. the american people should consider themselves lucky that the 2000 fiasco was the biggest election crisis in a century in the text it stated "the system allows for much worse consider that states legislatures are technically responsible for picking electors, and thet those electors could always defy the will of the people". but perhaps the most worrying is the prospect od a tie in the electrol vote.
The electrol college isw unfair to voters. during the 2000 campaign seventeen states didn't see the candidates at all and the aguments in favor of it most assertions without much basis. it hard to say this but bob dole was right: Abolish the electral college. | 1 |
Learning and curiosity are what keep the human race moving foward and contiually evolving. Through this, humans created the ultimate technology, the computer. Computers help with almost everything humans do in their lives, and now there is technology that can decipher the most untouched part of humans, emotions. The technology called FACS (Facial Action Cofing System), can figure out what a person is feeling and do many things with that information. This technology would be valuble because it would help inmprove the quality of learning in the classroom. I believe this because it can help bring back the attention of bored students, figure out problems with students, and figure out the most beneficial way for each student to learn.
First of all, this technology could keep students engaged in their learning experience. Most students drift off during class because the material they are being taught isn't being taught in an interesting way. In paragraph 6, the text states, "'A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored,' Dr. Huang predicts." This shows that a computer could easily recognize when a student becomes uninterested in the lesson they're being taught and what that lesson is about. Being able to discover when a student has become disengaged with their learning could help teachers turn the attention of that student back to what they were supposed to be learning.
Another reason allowing this technology to read student's emotions would be beneficial is because computers would be able to understand more than just verbal human communitation. According the the text, "'Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication.'" Computers are so ingraned in daily life that almost everything that people do involves some type of technology. If they were able to read the emotions of students, teachers could catch problems before they even happened. For example, if a student was becoming depressed, they might not reach out to anyone for help, but a computer could recognize the constant sadness on the students face and contact someone who could help resolve the situation. That is just part of the reason that this technology, which could read students emotions, is extremely valuble.
Finally, this technology could be helpful in the classroom by learning, by it's self, the specialized interests of each specific student. If a student was more interested in one learning style than another, the computer could recognize the facial cues of the student and ajust properly. The text states, "...if you smile when a Web ad appears on your screen, a similar as might follow. But if you frown, the next ad will be different." That could be easily modified to fit into the classroom. Instead of ads, the computer could display a certain type of learning, such as flashcards. If the student enjoyed using flashcards, then the computer could remember that and display flashcards as the initial method of learning in the future. However, if another student was shown flashcards as a learning method and the computer recognized facial cues that showed dislike or disinterest, it could change the learning method to something else, like matching. By reading the emotions of students in the classroom, a computer could figure out the most beneficial way for a student to learn.
In conclusion, this technology has so many potential benefits if it were to be used in the classroom. It can help bring back the attention of bored students, figure out problems with students, and figure out the most beneficial way for each student to learn. Teachers would finally be able to get students interested in learning again instead of having kids dread waking up in the morning because it's time for another day of the same old thing. Having computers in the classroom that can read the emotions of students in the classroom could reignite a passion for leaning that many kids lost the moment they walk in the classroom door. | 4 |
''Take me to your leader,'' is what aliens would say if they existed. However, they don't, and the face on Mars is just a natural landform. Just like Earth, Mars has natural landforms, as well as the other planets. The face on Mars is just a natural landform beacuse, there is no evidence provided that aliens built it. Also, the Face is just a mesa, like we have here on Earth.
Evevidence plays a big role in the science field. So without evevidence being provided, there is know reason to believe aliens built the Face. Now you're proabley thinking mabey NASA is just hiding all evevidence, however wouldn't finding alien life forms help NASA, why would they hide such big news. Buliding and sending things and people into space cost a lot of money, so if NASA finds aliens, that can help pay to discover more of space.So without evevidence that aliens built the Face, it is just natural landform. There are other ways to show that the Face is a natural landform.
Mesa are common landforms
around the American West, as explained in paragraph 12 in the article ''Unmasking the Face on Mars'', the Face is actually just a mesa. Since the Face is a mesa and there are mesa on Earth, and no alien lifeforms have been discoverd on Earth, just gives another reason as to why I know aliens did not build it. Natural ladforms occur often in our solor system. Like on Earth we have the Grand Caynon, and Saturn has the rings. This just goes to show that the Face is just anthor landform.
In conclusion, aliens did not make the Face. I know this beacuse there is no evidence that supports thet aliens built it. Also Mesa are common here on Earth. So overall, the Face is just anthor landform in history. | 3 |
Some people belive that the Driverless cars will be great in safety and mobility. Some belive that there going to cause many accidents. My personal opinion is that that it would be nice have. It would help people get place to place if they are nervous drivers. But I also think that there will be many flaws to this investment. There will most likely be accidents an mobile disfunctions. The manufactures of the cars will just have to be perpared for improvments and better qualities.
People will be giving ideas and wants for the cars too. My biggest concern is what if the driver happens to fall asleep and be heavy sleeper. The car has to wake up the driver but what if the driver sleeps through the warning? This could cause safety problems. I think only certain people should get these cars. Only older people that cant get around like they used to, teens or adults that are learning how to drive, and nervous drivers should use the driverless car.
There are many Pros and Cons about having the car. If the manufactures have proof that the cars will bee 100 percent safe then i would be definatly ok with them being on the roads. If they can not make the cars 100 percent safe then I would not allow them on the roads. | 1 |
It could be a opportunity of a lifetime to travel over sea's and be a Seagoing cowboy. It can lead your family to host a number of international student to help educate them in learning like school for them. You can help people with their needs and other countries that suffer without food or water. Being a Seagoing cowboy can lead to many different adventures in life.
Luke said for being a Seagoing Cowboy he lead his family to host lots of international students and exchange visitors for many years. He overthought about going too but he just couldn't just skip this opportunity of a lifetime. He also didn't know his life would change really quick right after high school graduation. World War II was over in Europe and many countries were left in pieces.
Luke was very suprised about going over sea's.
It took him about two weeks for him to cross the Alantic ocean. It also took him a month to get to China because he was so far away from China. He has helped out his Aunt Katie's farm as a boy. Which had made him brave enough to cross the oceans just him and some other people on board of the ship or boat.
That's why I think Luke should presuade other people to join the Seagoing Cowboys. It would be a great opportunity for them. They would get to experience and see some really good, beautiful things out there. There might be some slips and falls but they would probably be fine like Luke did he fell and sliped up he ended up being fine. | 1 |
Future Cars with Advantage
Can you imagine a time in the future when no one buys cars because no one needs them anymore? So of course, the future cars going to be way more better than the cars today. The cars that Sergey Brin will makes would use half of the fuel of today's taxis and will be far more flexibility than a bus. Even though it's too expensive it's worth it.
How much smarter can the cars be? It have postion-estimating sensors on the left rear wheel, a video camera near the rearview mirror, four atomotive radar sensors, A GPS receriver, and inertial motion sensor. But the most important one out of all that is the spinning senor on the roof. It's safe and fun. People can use video camera when they on a trip, use GPS when they lost or needed to go somewhere that they don't know. This is what we call good life.
Why would anyone want a driverless car that still needs a driver? Because it more fun and safer, and safety is a big concern. Most driving law focus on keeping drivers, passengers, and pedestrians safe. " Further improvements in sensors and computer hardware and software to make driving safer are also leading to cars that can handle more and more driving tasks on their own." No worry about safety anymore.
Future's cars have way more advantage than the cars now by not needed as much as need today, flexibility than a bus, having a video camera mounted near the rearview mirror. It's also provides more safety which is big concern. Less accident, fun, and GPS, what do we need more? | 1 |
it is a vote qualified by the citizen and the founding fathers established it in the constitution. all of the votes have to go to the electors and to the congress and then they pick the president and the vice president. the election is held every four years on the same month and day. the governor lists all of the people who ran for presidentin your state.
the winner takes all system that awards all electors to the winning presidental canididate. the governor prepares a cerificate of ascertainment. the certificate of ascertainment also declares the winning presidental candidatein your state and shows which electors are representing your state. the 60 percent of the voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now.
you would have to vote for a slate if you want to vote for john kerry. not always do the voters control whom their electors vote for. seventeen states didnt see the candidates at all,including rhode island and south carolina. but each party selects a slate of electors trusted to vote for the party's nominee. in a state creates a landslide electoral-vote victory in that state.
the popular vote was really close in florida in 2012. | 0 |
Safety is a big important issue while driving. Although manual cars are coming to end, driveless cars are being improved and much more technical than our cars now. So how driveless will the cars become in the futrue. Todays' technology has improved ten times better than the late 1900's. Having maps to GPSs, flip phones to smartphones, and also sercurity in cars, phones, and homes. There's also disadvantages of improved sources of technology. Having people break into sercured things.
Driving laws focus on keeping drivers ands pedestrians safe and knowing when to alert driver to take over. Cars need to reliably safe in order to buy this car. Any fails or accidents, who's fault is it. Safety is a big concern.
Instead of having cars that will drive itself, why not have sensors when someone is texting while driving and automatically turn off their phone.
Automakers are still continuing their work to prevent problems in the feature. | 1 |
The author supports the claim very well. The author says many ways how studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. For example, paragraph 5 states "NASA has one particularly compelling idea for sending humans to study venus. imagine a blimp-like veichle hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape. Just as our jet planes travel at a higher altitude to fly over many storms, a veichle hovering over Venus would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions by staying up and out of their way."
It also states in paragraph 5, "But the air pressure would be close to that of sea level on Earth. Solar power would be plentiful, and radiation would not exceed Earth levels. Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans."
It finally states in paragraph 8, "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." | 1 |
I've heard a great deal of conspiracieshaving to deal with the so called 'face' we at NASA found on Mars in '76. However, I would like to put these conspiracies to an end. When Viking 1 took the photo in 1976, I will admit it came as a kind if shock to us, we all soon figured it was nothing more than a common Martian mesa. And that's exactly what the 'face' was a common Martian mesa. The 'face' is simply a natrural landform; couldn't be any type of alien artifacts due to the following reasons: keeping alien life a secret would benefit NASA whatsoever, it was found in an area where Martian mesas are common, and we have recently taken photos with high-resolution to show that there aren't any buildings or other formations that could've been made by intelligent life.
Now most of you conspiracy theorists won't belive it, but I will explain how I got to this conclusion. The picture was taken around Cydonia, which is an area on Mars that Martian mesas are common to find. We've taken many pictures of these mesas around Cydonia to come to this conclusion.
Another reason the face on Mars is in fact a natural landform, is NASA hiding the fact that there is intelligent lifeforms on Mars wouldn't benefit NASA in any possible way. Finding life in the outer depths of space would be a tremendous accomplishment for NASA. Us finding liforms from entirely different planet would answer the biggest question of them all: Are we the only planet with life? If we'd found proof that we weren't alone we'd gain more funding for our space programs. with more funding we'd be closer to discovering more of the most unexplored area we know of: Space.
Finally, we have proof that it's only just a Martian mesa. Images taken in 2001 shows that there are no structures that could've been made by any intelligent lifeform.
Although the picture taken by Viking 1 didn't show us proof of life on Mars it did show us just how magnificent our universe really is. The 'face' on Mars was simply a natural landform made by nature itself. We have enough credible evidence to make the conclusion that the face on Mars isn't an alien landmark. artifact, or any sort of alien markings. We at NASA hope to one day find proof of other lifeforms in the deeper depths of space, but until then we will let the public know as of now we won't hid any information, such as the possibility of lifeforms from the public. | 3 |
In my opinion, I think that the Electoral College method should be abolished, because with it; the Presidential elections are quite useless. I'm specifically talking about the way Presidents get popular votes. The system is very out-dated and very irrational. When the Founding fathers founded this country, they said that the "People of America" get a voice and say in everything, well, not everything. But still their own say during the Presidental Elections are useless, the only real true thing to do is vote for the Senate Electors for the Presidential elections since the Electoral College proccess is mainly controlled by the Senate, the Senators vote for the Presidential canidate. You see, the only way canidates actually win the every 4 year elections in November is by the amount of votes they get, by NOT the people, but by the Senators that pleged with them during the Electoral College. In this essay I'll explain why this system is to bad for our today's world and how it can lead to false moves and corruption.
First off, is what's exactly the Electoral College? It's not a place, it's more like a proccess of choosing and voting for a Presidential canidate. You see the votes that regular U.S citizens do, do not count as the actual votes, though back then the system did work; it doesn't today. Back then around the 18th and mid 19th century, this Electoral College system worked outstounding for it's time, mainly because at first America was a new country, and the Senate that did do the voting and choosing were well educated and have experience. Most citizens in the American States weren't really that educated very well, mostly for new borns since the nation just finished their revolution and they were still in debt at the time, and so not everybody was rich enough to afford anything, in turn they have no knowlege of the way the world now works. Then during the civil war, half the country became another country known as the Conferderate States of America, which opposed the ideals of a more freer nation of other half of the country, known as the United States of America. The Electoral College did help President Abe to be elected, though it was mainly because he was popular since he used the ideal of abolishing and freeing slaves to gain populraity. And alot of people opposed him to become President, but thanks to the College process; he won the Elections, and re-united the two nations into the United States of America.
So, does this will in today's world? No, abosolutely not, it doesn't work, and will never work unless America gets 1984'ed and become a false and brainwashed Utopia. Due to our general corrupt society, the right President's get denied, and the corrupt and wrongful citizen gets elected. I can relate this issue with the 2000 Presidential Election crisis. In the 2000 elections, Al Gore gets the most popular votes, infact so much more then George Bush, that it was clear he can easily win the 2004 elections. But since the Electoral College is still intact, they voted for George Bush, and Bush won the elections by 5 more votes then the popular and better organized President, Al Gore. Because of this, most of America got an economy train wreck from in 2007-2008 and also wasted many resources on a the War on Terror battle from 2003, which is now gone and has a similar operation that is still on-going called Operation Enduring Freedom. Also unlike the old times when America was a new country, in today's modern 21st Century America, I can assure you that we have 95% percent of the Population educated by our today's educational standards tops. Which means that America doesn't need a hand when voting for a new President, and that shows that the Electoral College is not needed anymore, anytime. The Governments and it's people today are also very corrupt at times. This will also include the Electoral College, and can affect many lives for many people. Everybody can now make their own choice thanks to our very effective education system. So this proves the College group is now useless for voting.
Finally that's why we should abolish like Bob Dole said, it can cause a lots of corruption, and was only made for it's time since at that time many people were un-educated and couldn't even read, and now a day's today's society is very well off on educated minds. And has enough corruption as it is. And so that's the nutshell of this essay, and this is why we should remove the Electoral College. As its unfair and unfit for today's world and society of the American Government. | 3 |
well the ather thinks that aenus is not a bad planit. onr thing about venus is that evin thow is not that clows to the sun is more hot there then eny other planit.
it is very exstren there for a man to live there it is so bad now man or humen can live there not only cuz is vere hot there.
venus was alsow like erth it had water is was the only thing clows to erth but i think like is to hotthere the water eviperet the is why i think is good to study abut venus.
NASA
wan's to try so see if some of the mechens and work
out in venus some of thime are taking this as a risk andsome of then are taking this as a chling.
thes things colde be hard to do but not imposable these people are going to try to do what they can they are triying to make life in venus so hat is why i thing the athere is intrestid in venus cuz is the closes thing to erth. | 0 |
The United States of America is constantly referred to as the "Land of the Free", but if
America really was the land of those who are free, why can't an American Citizen vote for their presidential candidate? It's ridiculous that people have to spend a day voting for a group of people who then will vote for the presidential candidate they want. It's a waste of time. The election should be changed to popular vote due to the fact that their is always the uncertainty of which presidential candidate the elector will ultimately choose, American Citizens don't get the option to have their political voices heard, and there is a lack of representation.
When the American citizen chooses the electors that are in favor of who they want, they have no idea whether or not the elector they choose will ultimately select the presidential candidate they want. As Bradford Plumer states in
The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong , "Consider that state legislatures are technically responsible for picking electors, and those electors could always defy the will of the people." There is no absolute guarantee that the elector selected will vote for that presidential candidate which is one of the many reasons that the electoral college could result in something disastrous.
It almost seems pointless to even have American Citizens vote. They do not vote for the presidential candidates of their choice. As written in paragraph 10 of
The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong , "Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, bur for a slate of electors who in turn elect the president." It's much simpler to just vote directly for the president that way it is easier to determine and makes so that every vote counts.
The electoral college does not fully represent every single citizen in a state. Richard A.
Posner in
In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing a president , that,"..the Electoral College method of selecting the president may turn off potential voters for a candidate who has no hope of carryint their state-Democrats in Texas, for example, or Republicans in California." There are states that are mostly one certain political party, so of course they will want to vote for their party's presidential candidate. This causes the other party's vote to be practically irrelevant which will cause a person to not even bother voting.
The electoral college is outdated and should be changed. The popular vote represents every citizen fairly. It also is directly voting for the presidential candidate instead of voting for a group of electors that is just a waste of time. Popular vote eliminates the uncertainty that electors bring. Overall, popular vote is a winning situation for all of America and causes the title "Land of the Free" to actually apply and make sense. | 3 |
In "THE CHALLENGE OF EXPLORING VENUS" the author of suggests that studys venus is worthy pursuit despite the danger it peresnts.
people say that venus is the twin to the earth you may agree and alot of people will but there will always be someone that wont some people call it the the evening star because its the only thing that will be shining in the sky they dont blevie that its a plante but the people that belive that is a plante often they say "often referred as earth's "twin," venus is the closest plante to earth in term of destny and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too" (pargraph 2). this shows that venus is the closest plante to earth as of looking and sistence.
venus is the only plante that scintest studyed to see if humans can live in it they tried everything to studie it if humans ca n breath in it but they only found the resultes when they stoped working on it because they couldnt understand it so they had to change the way they were going to send humans to venus so they just quit but they started studying some more stuuf coming up with names for it and stuff in the text it says "venus, sometimes called the "evening star"( pargarh1). this shows that that they came up with names for so people under stand what the star is.
the artecal shows you how people can make nothing into something even if they fail they still can gt something else right or make something even though they tried to do something else. | 0 |
Why make driveless cars? Is this an easy way out for people who are lazy? I ask myself these questions because I think with driveless cars humans will become fairly lazy. If we have driveless cars in the future having to take a permit or a driving test wouldn't be nessasary at all. I believe it is ok to have updated technology in our cars to possibly prevent accidents, but I think cars should still be controlled by someone. First, we should always have an alert driver behind the wheel,secondly, we would have to completely change traffic laws all because of a automatic cars, thirdly, cars would be easier for people to access.
Although having to drive a car with no effort sounds nice, but it will cause a huge impact on someone if they weren't paying attention and got in a horrible accident. In today's society we have a hard time without texting and driving. It's like giving a car to a baby who can't let go of its favorite toy. If we drive with no alert of what its going on, how are we gonna know when its our turn to drive. Accidents occur everyday just think about how many more we would get with driveless cars. The excuse for every accident could be "I didn't know they were coming."
Our next battle would be how traffic laws would drastically change. If we have drivers riding around not being as attentive as we have to be now laws would be completely different. Traffic lights would probably have to altered to be more technology friendly. Not only do we have to adjust, but so does law enforcment. Officers may not even have to stay on people about traffic violations. Without the police enforcing traffic violations it would be harder for them to notice people out of the ordinary. Like people who drink while driving. If no one is there to catch things like that their could be way more accidents.
Lastly, cars would be easy for young teens to drive cars. Since kids are very well acustomed to technology we have an advantage on knowing how to work and generate the new technology updates in the car. Earning a permit would no longer be needed because people wouldn't have to do anything for their car. With the car driving for them kids could just ride along,which leaves the risk of kids who didn't have to learn the how to stay alert. They would be more likely to get in accidents.
In conclusion, I will say that having driveless cars in the futre would not help, but disable our society even more. Kids would be more likely to recieve are car at a younger age than sixteen. People will have to get aquanted with new found traffic laws that could cause several people pay cuts. Lastly, I believe all drivers should be alert while driving. With no ones eyes on the road we could be more prone to have more accidents. New technology sounds nice,but people would just get hurt in the long run. | 3 |
Seagoing Cowboys
Just like Luke people should become seagoing Cowboys.
People should join this force because it's fun not only fun it helps you explore the world, like New Orleans, Greece , Venice, and even China. I'm sure there is many more places Luke visited and just didn't talk about.
Boeing a seagoing cowboy isn't always about fun and games. Sure that's one thing but it's also a duty. It's a duty to get you're animals from one country to another, or farmers wouldn't have cattle, butchers wouldn't have cows,etc. but without them some countries wouldn't have cows, mules, and horses. Even know it's a duty seagoing cows are always helping in they're own way. They get animals from one place to another but they are also kind. I'm sure if someone was having a bad day and to pick up a horse, the seagoing Cowboys were there to help.
So please take this information and spread it to others we need more seagoing Cowboys. They are important, thank you for reading. And take my advice and become a seagoing cowboy with your own free will. | 1 |
Is this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in the classroom valuable. This is a smart idea but im not sure if it is valuable or not because in pictures or paintings you can normally tell if they are angry,happy,sad, disusted, and fearful. Why do students need technology like this to tell the emotion of a painting? I think its a good idea but at the same time not because these students can use the techniology and try to photoshop a picture with this new technology or they can try to make they painting look alot differnet then what it needs to look like... I would know im a kid myself kids do these things all the time and get away with it, But at the same time thiss could get outta hand what if you cant tell the emotions of the picture or painitns then what? How would this new technology be used at school or at another area where they get trained on how to use FACS( Facial Action Coding System). Would parnets have to help apy for there students to use this new technology, would they have to raise money to get this in this in their schools?
All in all i think its a good idea for peolpe to get the feel of useing this technology like in the art class and and photo classes this would be a nice thing to have and use at schools and other places. | 1 |
Wow! What a surpise, a new breakthrough of technology. This technology is known as the Facial Action Coing System. This system identifies human emotions. In this essay I will tell you why I think that this system is valuable. There are three main reasons why it is in such of value to us. One, it can help bring the truth out in people. Two, it can people get help if they always come to class with a sadness emotion on their face. Third, is that it can help with lessons being taught.
First, which is bringing the truth out of people. Now, I think this is valuable, not just to the classroom, but in the real world. This valuable in the classroom because it can identify whether a student is lying or telling the truth to his or her teacher at the time. This is essential because it goes along with my reason of that this technology helps with the lesson. This can help interpret if the student or students, are lying if you say if they know what is going on, and not confused.
Secondly, is that you will be able tell if a student or students are upset or not. I feel like this is important because it can be hard for the student(s) to concentrate on the lesson if they are too busy thinking about why they are upset. With the right attitude the teacher can help the student(s) get their education. Another reason why this is important because it can save lives of people that suffering from depression. This can help lower the amount of deaths in a year because it can help recognize that a student may need some psychological help. For example, in the passage it says,"...the software can identify mixed emotions."This is important because it can tell what you are feeling inside. The teacher can maybe help the people cheer up and get on with the day's lesson.
Third, is that it can help with the lesson. Now this is very essential because it can help determine if the students are confused or bored. This is important because some students may be afraid to be one of the only ones to be confused of the subject. This is something o be recognized because it o decide to continue with the lesson or to move on to a different one of interest. As said in the passage,"A classroom computer could recognize when a studetn is bored or confused."Also said,"Then, it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor."These quotes help get my point across because it shows that it can help recognize if the student is in a place of boredom or dispair.
In conclusion, the Facial Action Coding System is valuable in classrooms because it can help makes the teacher's job easier. Which can also help the students by, it recognizing if somone is being truthful , to help notice if a student may be upset for some odd reason, and that it can help the teacher know if the lesson that they previously just did needs some more work, or if he or she can move forward on to a different lesson. | 4 |
I think the state senator should change the electoral college to vote for the president of the united states. I think it would be a lot easier to do and make sure a president would be elected. They also wouldnt have to worry about it being a tie. And if it was a tie then they would be able to decide who the winner would be. Also the people will be able to vote for the president of the united states and won't have to worry about the electors voting for someone else that they didn't vote for. They also don't have to pay attention if the president were picked by a popular vote. 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. The electoral college method of selecting a president may turn off potential voters for a candidate who has no hope of carrying their state. The residents of the other reigons are likely to feel disenfranchised to feel that their votes do not count, that the new president will have no regard for their interests, that he really isn't their president. The most thoughtful voters should be the ones to decide the election. This would a lot easier than the electoral college and would let people actually vote for the next presiddent of the united states of america. | 1 |
In "The challenge of Exploring Venus", we are faced with another difficult task. We have had many hard task in our past space wise, from our first step on the moon, to the discovery of Pluto being a dwarf planet. Studying Venus closely is a worthy pursuit because, it's a challenge and who doesn't like a challenge, it would be a exploration many people from generations old and new would like rake on themselves, and possibly we could find a way to live on a planet other than Earth.
Exploring Venus is going to be extremely challenging. For example, the passage says "Venus has the hottest surfqace temperature of any planet in our solar system." This place is going to to be extremely hard to get close to because of the heat. We can't even take pictures because "most forms of light cannot penetrate the atmosphere." Our most high-tech cameras can't even get a decent picture of the surface of Venus.
Many people from the new and old generation are obbssed with space and everything to do with it. Our workers at NASA have created electronics that have been designed to last on Venus and they have survived weels in the harsh terrain. NASA is constantly discovering something new about space. They are even using designs from the past like our "mechnical computers." They are using the design of mechanical computers because the are very durabole under harsh conditions, which is what we're gonna need in order to explore Venus.
The planet Venus is very much like Earth. There are so many energy resources there. "Solar power would be plentiful and radiation would not exceed Earth levels." That is great because if we lived on Venus we wouldn't have to worry about pollutting the planets as quickly as we have done on Earth. Also, we would be able to spread the electricity widely throughout the palnet.
In conclusion, exploring Venus would be a worthy pursuit for many reasons. We are going to get there one day with the way our space administrations are working. There is so much we don't know about the planets in our solar system, even our own planet. We should take the opportunity to explore whatever we can as soon as we can. That way we won't go extintic like many thing in our world. | 3 |
you should join the ''Seagoing Cowboys Program''. You should join the program because it is a wonderful opertunity to see some amazing sites, interact with a lot of animals, and have a lot of fun during free time.
One reason you should join the ''Seagoing Cowboys Program'' is because all of the amazing sites. When I was part of the ''Seagoing Cowboys Program'' I had the opertunity to see a lot of amazing sites. I had the side benefit of seeing Europe and China. But seeing the Acropolis in Greece was special,. So was taking a gondola ride in Venice, Italy, a city with streets of water. I also toured an excavated castle in Crete and marveled at the Panama Canal on my way to China.
Another reason you should join the ''Seagoing Cowboys Program'' is because all of the great times we have during free time on the boat. There is a lot of free time on board exspecially during the return trips after the animals have been unloaded. We played baseball and volleyball games in the empty holds where animals had been housed. Table-tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and games also helped pass the time.
You also get to interact with a lot of animals. While you are sailing It takes about two weeks to cross the Atlantic Ocean from the eastern coast of the United States and a month to get to China. Caring for the animals during the crossings keeps you busy. They have to be fed and watered two or three times a day. Bales of hay and bags of oats had to be pulled up from the lower holds of the ship. Stalls have to be cleaned. Although it is a lot of work, when you are doing these things with the animals it forms a bond between you and the animal.
There are some reasons why you should join the ''Seagoing cowboys Program''. I hope you will take the oppertunity to atleast look into the ''Seagoing Cowboys Program''. | 2 |
The Lively Impacts from a Dead Engine
Personal automobiles and cars have played a major role throughout the world since the invention of the car in World War 2. Cars have been a very successful invention and many people drive their own every day on their way to work, school or other places their feet cannot carry them. Though the car has fulfilled its duties in making the lives of humans easier, it has also contributed to many negative events. For example, car emissions get trapped in the atmosphere and cause living things to breathe in dirty air around them. Therefore, a revolutionary idea has been spreading around the world: using personal automobiles less. The new aspect of using cars less has promoted a happier society, a cleaner environment, and an open attitude towards alternative transportation.
First of all, by establishing an agreement to decrease car use, people have been said to be happier and stress-free. The continuing congestion and traffic jams that are among most areas of the world, create an enormous amount of stress for the people driving. Many develop road rage or irritability and are unhappy after suffering from a long ride home because of traffic. Some believe that cities should become more like Vauban, a community in Germany in which the citizens have given up their cars, because those who live there are not focused on driving and are pleased living in such a manner. Heidrun Walter, a mother who lives in Vauban, portrays her love for this car-free community when she states, "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way" (Rosenthal). By living in an area with little or no use of cars, the society becomes more cheerful and has less stress to cope with. In addition, with no cars people are forced to spend more of their time outside to get from one place to another. In Bogota, Colombia there is an annual car-free day, in which anyone who does use their car has to pay a fine. Many spend their day outside walking or riding their bikes to get around and believe that the car-free day is "a good opportunity to take away stress..." (Selsky). As they exercise more without cars and enjoy the great outdoors, they wear bright smiles on their faces and look at things with a positive attitude.
With a smaller amount of people using their personal vehicles, less gas emissions are becoming a part of the Earth's atmosphere. Humans breathe in the gases that are polluting the air and can become sick from it. The environment suffers from the dirty air and may not be able to sustain life if there is not a stop to the large amounts of pollutants being emitted into the air. In the United States, passenger cars are the cause of "up to 50 percent" of greenhouse gas emissions while in Europe they are "responsible for 12 percent" (Rosenthal). This means that the car use in the United States is ruining the air around us and assists greatly in creating a disgusting environment. In popular and global cities, pollution is even more noticeable and overwhelming. For example, in Paris smog has become an everlasting issue. The climate in the area contributes to the smog filling the air along with the use of cars: "Cold nights and warm days caused the warmer layer of air to trap car emissions" (Chicago Tribune). To reduce the smog in the area, an elaborate plan was taken into action. Cars with even license plates could not drive on certain days and cars with odd license plates could not drive on the other days. By doing this, the air in Paris cleared up dramtically. Therefore by promoting a system where car usage is not as common, the environment can become healthier and cleaner, which benefits the citizens of the Earth.
Last, declining the use of cars creates an open attitude towards alternative transportation methods. Those who live in car-free communities discover new ways to reach the destinations they have reach throughout the day. Some will utilize their body and take advantage of nature by biking or walking from one place or another. Others might us public transportation or will car-pool with those who do own a car. As previously mentioned before, Colombia participates in a car free day, which means "Colombians hiked, biked, skated or took buses" to get where they needed to be (Selsky). Their use of other means of transportation on the day without cars, exemplifies that it is possible to live using other ways to get around. Some people are against the idea of using other transportation, but if they were to see the impact the alternatives have, they would be more accepting. These days many young people tend to get their license later by waiting until they reach their twenties, suggesting that they can live a happy life without relying on a personal automobile. Instead of using their own cars, they find other ways to get to work or school. These people become acclimated to organizing their lives "around where they can walk or take public transportation or car-pool with friends" (Rosenthal). Younger people who commit their lives to walking or public transportation, become aware of the fact that driving a machine that can negatively affect the world is not a necessity. Their awareness then can continue passing on to each generation and can ultimately prevent the excessive use of cars throughout the world.
In conclusion, a life without cars might be a life worth living since it contributes to a stress-free society, a healthy environment, and an acceptance of other means of transportation. By relying less on cars, people can eliminate the variety of negative impacts on the world. The Earth can become a happier, cleaner, and more accepting place with a dead engine. | 4 |
I believe that the use of the Facial Action Coding System is valuable to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom or the community around us. This technology would help show how others are feeling when they are hiding their emotions. This would help because since the Facial Action Coding System is pretty accurate, we are able to use this in future generations to specify emotions from other people and know how they are feeling to help those around us in the world.
When people are sad, mad, or even fearful, we can help those around us who are feeling down and comfort them. We can bring joy in the world by the people who are enjoying life and be with those who are happy by bringing those who are sad, mad, and fearful into the "happy" environment so they don't have to worry. Studies show in this article that, "'Most of us have trouble describing each facial trait that conveys... specific emotion.' and also, 'Most communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication,' Dr. Huang predicts." This proves that since not many of us in this world knows what our expressions are to see our specific emotion, especially during nonverbal communication, it would be best to see what their real emotions are and know what they are going through (or if they're just fine) and ask if they want help or need comfort. We could help out others who are going through things even if they don't need help. If they don't want to be comforted, we can always respect their privacy. But it would be best to know what others go through to respect those around us more often. We shouldn't offend and judge people in general because we don't know what others go through and how they feel when we do judge and offend them. It would be kind and respectful to help those out around us to make the world a better place.
This system would help to read emotional expressions in a classroom because it would help the learning environment and the students in the class when the teachers are teaching. This would especially help the teachers more because teachers have trouble knowing what students are going through and can help their students out during class if they need help when they are troubled in their subject of math, science, English, ect. Most of the time, students don't want to let the teachers know if they're worried about an assignment or sad about their grade and don't want to get help from the teachers. If teachers knew their students emotions, they would have a better interaction and communication with their students and help them learn better in class, understanding the subject more. Studies show in this article that, "'A classroom computer could recongnize when a student is becoming confused or bored.' Dr. Huang predicts. 'Then it could modify the lesson, like a effective human instructor."' This proves that since teachers want their students to be successful in their subjects, this system could help students and especially teachers to know when to help each other out when they are confused on a specific part in the subject and have a better understanding in the subject when the teachers do help out the students. This could also help because when a student is going through something and is distraced in class, the teacher would know their emotion and take it easy on them during class and help out the student with their problem and what they go through to have a better understanding and interaction with the student.
In conclusion, The Facial Action Coding System is valuable to read the emotional expressions of students in the classroom and the community around us to help those around us in the world and get a better understanding of people and their emotions to make the world a better place to live in by comforting others who need help and showing kindness. | 3 |
I am totally against driverless cars. There are so many reasons why. I think they could be extremely dangerous if something with the computer driven cars fails and stops working and why on earth would you not want to drive a car! It's really not that difficult at all. Have we really become this lazy that we dont even want to operate a vehicle anymore. Computers always crash and fail, so what is going to happen if the computer driven cars stop working. There could be a huge wreck or accident.
When we drive we are relaxed, calm and focused. We are paying attention and seeing everything around us. There is a less amount of chance of us wrecking than a computer. I also like the idea of having my own car. I would not want to call a driverless cab to take us wherever I desire. I would not want to have to wait for the cab to get to my house instead of just stepping into my garage and getting into my car.
In my opinion driverless cars are irrelivant. Teens would much rather feel important and useful driving their own car. That is one of the tings us teens, I think cant wait for. It's The moment you get your liscence and learn to drive and become great at it and have the freedom to drive youreself to wherever it is you want to go without haveing to depend on your parents to take you somewhere or pick you up. Parents would also feel safer on driving themselves and their children places. I would not trust nor let no computer take my child nowhere.
We can't let technology take over our future and our lives. I think it is time we put an end to this and start using our hands more often and we also need to stop depending so much on technology. One very important way we all learn repsoniblities starts by driving. We do not depend on anyone for a ride and we feel responisble. I think responisblity is one of the main things we all need to have, so please do not get yourself a driverless car if you want to be the responsible person you can be without relying on technology. | 2 |
The author suggests that studying Venus would be scientifically productive despite the dangers the planet has. This is because Venus was once a planet like ours that could sustain life and had oceans. Knowing why it became what it is today would help our understanding of taking care of the Earth. It is also a worthy pursuit because the distance is not very far and time consuming. Exploring Venus despite its intimidating aspect would also be the start of many dangerous explorations the human race will complete.
Even though at present time Venus is nothing compared to Earth, astronomers believe that Venus had similar attributes to Earth. The planet contained features that represented Venus was "covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life just like Earth" (Paragraph 4). Since there is a possibility that Venus had "oceans", water "could have supported various forms of life". At present time, many of the planets we study do not show attributes that are similar to Earth or were similar to Earth before until we noticed Venus. If we are able to study Venus despite the dangers it holds, we could grasp more information on why it lost its life sustaining resources. Knowing this information could be used as a fundamental source of how to keep the life sustaining resources in Earth alive.
SInce Venus is close to Earth, it would be very beneficial for our planet to consume little resources and still be able to reach Venus for scientific productivity in a short time.
Astronomers realize that if they want to visit a planet, "Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit" (Paragraph 4). Astronomers know that far space travel requires too much time, so if we are looking for information of a planet, Venus can "be our nearest option for a planetary visit". If we were to make machines that are durable for the conditions in Venus, the resources we need from earth will be less than compared to journeys we would have taken far away to other planets. This would be becuase Venus would only require a certain amount of energy to get there and get safely back. Another advantage to visiting a planet that is close to the Earth would be the short time that it takes. The information could be recorded when making scientific experiments and the information would come back to Earth to classify faster than compared to getting information from long journeys in deep space.
The author also supports the idea that we should explore Venus despite its dangers because as life progresses, we will encounter many explorations just as dangerous as Venus. The author believes "human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors [and they] should not be limited by dangers and doubts" (Paragraph 8). Since we will encounter "many equally intimidating endeavors", it is only resourceful that we start now with the exploration in Venus. In order to get a basis understanding of what is around us, our fear cannot be influenced by the "dangers and doubts" that many claim. The author suggests it is our responsibility to do whatever is necessary to improve our knowledge of the planets despite the dangers that influence us to stop.
Although the author does describe the challanges that we would face if we were to visit Venus, the information we would obtain from the visit would be more important. The author suggests this because Venus has a close distance to Earth and we should take advantage of that. Once there, we would gain information about how a planet that was once similar to ours became inhabitable. With that information, we would become aware of the dangers that Venus experienced and help Earth not reach such a magnitude to where it would also become inhabitable. Also, taking a step forward into explorations that are deemed too dangerous for us will break our limitations of danger and doubt. We would be able to explore anything that fascinates us. | 3 |
No! The natural landform was not made by any kind of alien in Mars. It is just a landform that appended to look like a human face. And if im saying if it was made by aliens there is nothing that proves it to be made by aliens. Heck there isnt any at proves or gives an idea that aliens actually exist. But there is a lot of evidence that proves that the face was made naturally and is just a landform that happened to look like one. A few of them are we sent "Mars Global Suveyor" and it showed no sign of alien monument, there was a good picture taken of the area of the landform, and lastly if there was any signs of aliens or their artifacts we would want to know and explore it like you would. i will list and prove in the following paragraphs why it is just a landform.
First, when we sent the
" Mars Global Surveyor" it arrived in eghteen years in September 1997. When the Surveyor was flyiing over Mars it found the face and as soon at it was clear we took pictures of it. On April 1998 the Surveyor flew over and took a nice shot at the face. This shot was ten times better the the first shot taken.
secont, Thanks to the picture taken by the surveyor we could now look for small details by the face. For each pixel in the 2001 the image spans "1.56 meters that compared to 43 meters per pixel." in the picture you can look three times closer thanks to pixels. That means that if take a picture like that you should be ablie to see big objects for example airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small homes or shacks.
You might say that we NASA are trying to keep things secret from all of you in the publice and that we just want to keep the discovery of aliens to our selfs. But the truth is we don't we want you to know everything we know and we want to find any sign of alien life like artifacts and shacks and technology, but the fact is that the face in Mars has no prove theres nothing by the face that proves that any type of life built it. there was no left over material or any tools left the simple fact is that the face was made naturally and it is a landform like the ones we have on earth. Just this landform happened to look like us like a human.
In conlusion the face on
Mars will and should be considered a landfom. If it was made by aliens we would have found out thanks to all these studys but all of the studys we have made have proven there to be no life on the planet Mars. But I want to challenge you to conduct you own studys think of new ways and send them to us if this is what it takes to prove that there are or arent aliens on the planet Mars then lets work together and prove one or the other about the Face that could be a land form or could be a artifact. | 2 |
Dear Flordia State Senator:
The Electoral College is a very useful and easy was of voting. According to the article
"What Is the Electoral College"
by the Office of the Federal Register, "The Electoral College process consists of the selection of th electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress." Basically we vote for our electors which then they vote for the President which seem to be working just fine why change it?
There are many resons why people are in favor of changing the Electoral College for popular vote. In the article
"Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong"
by Bradford Plumer he asks "Can voters control whom their electors vote for?" Then answers himself with "Not always." This may be true but voters do get to vote for thier electors and it is the voters job to vote for the one they believe will choose the right president. The people need to put faith in thier electors, and even if the Electoral College was changed to popular vote they would have to vote for the president and put faith in him or her to make the right decisions for them, is they same basic thing but having electors are just another step.
"The Electoral College restores some of the weight in the political balance that large states (by population) lose by virtue of the mal-apportionment of the Senate decreed in the Constitution" This was stated in the article "
Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President"
by Richard A. Posner. This is a very good point he made, the larger states get more attention than the smaller states when it comes to popular voting in presidental elections because they have a much larger population giving them more votes.
When it comes to popular voting there have been times where no canidate has a mojority cast of votes and the Electoral College Prevents that problem. In 1968 Nixon received 43 percent pluraltiy or more votes than the other canidates but still not receving a clear majority of votes in the popular votes same with Clinton in 1992 but they both won majority in the Electroral College, so there was no need for and run-off election.
I believe that we shouldn't change the Electoral College for popular votes the way we arevoting now is working just fine and it makes it so larger states like Texas don't get more of an impact on the election because of thier population than smaller states like Rhode Island. Also the Electoral College prevents Run-off elections. Even though some believe the Electoral College as an anachronism I think that the Electoral College is still a good way of voting.
sincerly,
PROPER_NAME | 3 |
In 'The challenge of Exploring Venus', the author uses loaded diction to show their support on venturing to Venus. It is explained by the author the many challenges that are faced when attempting to embark on the journey of space travel to Venus, but also how it is ultimately going to happen because of human drive and need to expand the horizons.
The author's use of loaded diction helps get across the idea that we should make the journey to Venus. In paragraph 2, the author writes, "Numerous factors contribute to Venus' reputation as a challenging planet for humans to study, despite its proximity to us." The use of the word "challenging" in this sentence is an extra reminder to the reader that traveling to Venus is not just something we may do, or something we should do. To the author it is a challenge for us as humans. Many less provoking and simple words could have completed this sentence adequetly. Maybe a hard plant, or a rough planet, or even a difficult planet for humans to study. However, the author uses this sentence to remind readers early in the article that we as humans must be up for the challenge of venturing to Venus.
The author at times proposes some risks and hardships that are bound to be faced on the journey to Venus. This outline of the challenges of the adventure help the author provide a refutal before any readers can even challenge thier argument. In paragraph 3, the author states that, "A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus' atmosphere. On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet." Although it seems as if they're changing their own mind, they complete the refutal in paragraph 4 by saying, "... recall that Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit, a curcial consideration given the long time frames of space travel. The value of returning to Venus seems indisputable..." Here the author reminds readers that through all of these hardships and challenges that would need to be faced, if we cannot go through with this endevour and fulfill successful travel to Venus, how are we to do anything more and continue to innovate as humans have done for many many years?
The author goes on to provide legitament solutions to some of the challenges that would be faced on a journey to Venus. In paragraph 5 the author writes, "NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray. Imagine a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape." This proposal of a hovering island above the planet finally brings in legitament options that can solve the problems we are having traveling to Venus. With each new idea we can become closer so succeeding in our travels to Venus and learning more about the planet and its history.
In paragraph 6, the author refutes another counter to NASA's floating island idea, "However, peering at Venus from a ship orbiting or govering safely far above the planet can provide only limited insight on ground conditions becuase most forms of light cannot penetrate the dense atmosphere... scientists seeking to conduct a thorough mission to understand Venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risks." The author goes on to provide another thought of researchers. Many of these researchers are working on innovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowledge of Venus. Maube our machines can get to the point to return from the harsh conditions in Venus with photographs and terrain samples. Only time will tell.
The author provides another possible solution to the hardships on Venus' surface in paragraph 7 by writing about another NASA study, "... these devices make calculations by using gears and levers and do not require electronics at all. Modern computers are enormously powerful, flexible, and quick, but tend to be more delicate when it comes to extreme physical conditions." The proposal of using older, more durable technology gives a real legitimacy to getting a drone on the surface of Venus and back to the scientists to study any data that could be obtained by such drones. The author's explanation of modern computers brings more diction into his pursuasion techniques. With the strong description of modern computers as "...enormously powerful, flexible, and quick, but tend to be more delicate..." we can easily see the author's strong affection towards traveling to Venus, becuase of how in depth he gets into the logistics of making the travels a reality.
The author clearly has many hopes for our travels to Venus and is optamistic when it comes to furthuring our knowledge on our neighbor planet. Their strong use of loaded diction indulges the reader into the writing and helps them process both sides of the ideology and lean towards that of the author, as this is the author's intended purpose because there must be support for the travels to Venus or they are likely to never happen in our lifetime. | 4 |
Smart cars can do things not all cars can do they can alert you to hit your breaks, steer for you, tell you when things are close around you and ect, but not always it will work so what would happen to the company if the car didn't do its job and someone gets hurt badly?
The author made good negaive arguments and made positive arguements about the driverless car. the author said "They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are desgined to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents" so hes giving you the postive things that smart cars can help people when they arent doing it themselves or when their not paying attention to the road. well just like the author said "If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault the driver or the manufacturer" that's something people should worry about caus eif the smart car doesn't do what is supposed to do if your not steering the wheel or if your not alert whats going on who would the blame for the accident the person driving or the company?
I think that not every smart car will do what they say they do all the time because it may not always know whats its surrounding of the car is so for people to just think the car will always do the right things their wrong. The smart car can have functions where how it should break when you get close to another car, but if the person driving doesn't hit the break and think the car will break its self and doesn't what will happen to the person when the police come will they get in trouble for not breaking when they could have did it themselves instead of thinking the car would have done it for them. "Presently, traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver in control at all times" so by saying this just because you have a smart car and does so much for you while your not doing it your still in danger becaus ethe person behind the wheel should be steering the car to keep everything safe cause the smart cars can not always be safe for people to trust.
Smart cars are starting to take over because they think the smart car will be able to protect people while their not paying any attention, but their wrong smart cars are also dangerous and can put peoples life in danger becaus ethe car will not always be on top of its game and break for you or steer for you people are better off to pay attention to the road instead of letting a smart car do the job for them. | 2 |
Dear,
Senator of florida is send you this letter to tell you why we need to keep things the way they are. Electoral college is a process in which we decide who will be our president of the United States of America. During this process the Electoral College consist of 538 electors in which 270 of those electoral votes is required to elect the President. During this presidential election you vote for you candidate but what your actually doing is voting for your candidate's electors. All though the electoral colleges have things wrong with it they do have have some positive things that counter the negative out. Like certainty of a outcome,avoiding run-off election,you have to have trans-regional appeal(everyone's President),Swing states, and Big states.
A dispute over the outcome of an Electoral College vote is possible-it happened in 200-but its less likely than a dispute over the popular vote. Winning candidate's share the Electoral College invariably exceeds his share of the popular vote. For example,Obama recieved 61.7 percent of the electoral vote compared to only 51.3 percent of the popular vote cast for him and Romney.... Because almost all states award electoral votes on a winner- take-all basis. A nationwide electoral vote is possible because 538 is a even number, but its highly unlikely. The winner-take-all method of awarding electoral votes induces the candidates-as we saw in 2012's election to focus more on toss-up states. As the people of these states are very thoughtful in deciding who they will pick because they are the people that pay close attention to the campaing.
The Electoral College is widely regarded as an anarchonism. People believe that it should be changed to who ever gets the most popular votes. People only believe it should be changed because of what has happened in the past with other elections. Like what happened in 200,1960 segregationists in the legislature nearly succeded in replacing the demacratic electors, and the worst being that it ends up in a tie. Things have happened in the past.
We dont need to change because of things that happened in 2000 or 1960. Its 2015 and we dont need a change to our way of deciding the president. Theres no reasonto changing it to popular vote. | 2 |
The Facial Action Coding System is a computer system created to recognize human emotions which can be used in various environments to help a person with their task at hand, whether it be work, school work or even just a person playing games on their computer.
This technology (the Facial Action Coding System) can be of great use in a school environment as explained in the article because often enough students will easily get bored or confused when doing their work so if this system is in place the lesson can be adjusted to the student's needs. There would also be many uses to this system which as example would make it a tool for the work or school environment, make video game character faces much more expressive, the usage of it for video surgery and a way to control which ads you see at the given moment. Although I see this system not always being so accurate (especially in the begining) it will help in the long run of things because it can alert you of how you feel so as an example if you are someone with a weak heart and an assignment from your boss at work is making you overly stressed your computer can warn you about your current condition so you can stop and take a break.
The Facial Action Coding System is a computer system created to recognize human emotions which can be used in various environments to help a person with their task at hand, whether it be work, school work or even just a person playing games on their computer so yes this computer device will be of great use because of it's wide range of possibilities. | 2 |
The author supports his idea of exploring venus even though there are many challenges to complete the task. Some challenges that come with exploring Venus is that it has harsh conditions for human and and robots, but the NASA has been working on other approaches. Scientist would like study its surface because at some point in history Venus was somewhat like Earth. The author has answers for all the challenges that scientist have with exploring Venus.
Venus is the second planet from our sun which makes the planet the planet very hot reaching 800 degrees Fahrenheit. Venus also has a very thick atmosphere of almost 97% of carbon dioxide blankets, and as the author states "the atmospheric pressure is 90 time greater than what we experience on our planet" that pressure would easily destroy any metal. Another fact about Venus is that it has the hottest surface of all the planets in our solar symtem even though Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. So far scientist have been working on alternatives to explore Venus.
Humans have sent many spacecraft to land on Venus, but none of them have survived this shows why non of the missions have been named. but in recent times the NASA has been working on using electronics made out of silicon carbide because they had been tested in a chamber simulating the conditions of Venus. Another approach that NASA is looking foward to is sending "mechanical computers" this devices use gears and levers to make calculation and do no need electronics at all. Mechanical computers can be made more resistant to heat, pressure, and many other force unlike its counter part, modern computers, they can very flexible, powerfull, and quick, but they are more delicate being in extreme conditions.
Human survival can be possible in Venus with a space ship hovering 30 miles above the ground of the planet, the pressure would be very close to the one on Earth the temperature would be around 170 Fahrenheit also they would be plenty of solar power, and the radiation would no be more that what it is on our planet. In these conditions human life can be accomplish. Millions of years ago Venus was like Earth, how do we know? because Venus has features of Earth such as rocky sediment, craters and mountains.
The conditions in Venus make it hard to survive in the planet because its temperature can reach 800 F and the pressure is 90 times grater than what it is on Earth, life on the ground cant be possible on the rocky ground of Venus. Even though the conditions has very dangerous conditions exploration can be possible with mechanical computers. Life can also be possible if we find a way to hover 30 miles away from the ground because the temperature can be 170 F and the pressure would be like Earth. Life 30 miles above the ground of Venus can be possible. | 4 |
The author studying is worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents from the article because he or she is using context clues to tell what Venus is like. Venus is called the "twin" planet to Earth because it is the closet planet to Earth in terms of density and size.(paragraph 2)Venus goes around the sun in different speeds compared to Earth and the other planets. On paragraph 3, the author tells us a little bit about what Venus is like for example the atmospher is almost 97% carbon dioxide. On the planet's surface, the tempature averages 800 degrees Fahrenheit and the atmospher pressure is 90 times greater than what we experiecne on Earth today. The author also tells us that "Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system, even though Mercury is closer to our sun unlike Venus and earth and every other planet that revolves around the sun in our solar system.(paragraph 3) The author on paragraph 4 talks about what is living or on the planet Venus. For examplse, "the planet has surface of rocky sediment and includes familar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters." (paragraph 4) NASA has sent people into space and hase gone to Venus and to study the planet. Studying Venus does have dangers things that can go wrong but the travels we have should not be able to effect on how we study our planets today or in the future. | 0 |
I believe that driverless cars are pointless. They aren't really driverless, there are laws in some states against testing driverless cars, the traffic laws are written assuming that it is most safe to have a human driving the car & you don't know who will be to blame if an accident or something goes wrong.
Driverless cars aren't fully driverless. The driver still has to take over when pulling in and out of driveways & dealing with complicated traffic issues. For example, navigating through roadwork or an accident. What's the point of having a driverless car, when you still have to be alert and paying attention? People want a driverless car so they don't have to do any work.Many people don't pay attention sometimes or get distracted while driving. This a dangerous disadvantage. The driver could be distracted and get into an accident because they weren't paying attention and didn't take over the car when they needed to.
The laws for driving rely on an alert driver to achieve safety while driving. Today, traffic laws are written assuming that the only way a car is safe is if it has a human driver in control at all times. In most states it is illegal to even test computer-driven cars.Manufacturers hope that more states will allow them if they are proven to be more safe. However, if there is an accident involving a driverless car who will be to blame the manufacturer or the driver?
Driverless cars also require a lot of sensors to mimic the controls of a human driver.Google's modified Toyota Prius uses sensors on the left rear wheel. on the roof, a video camera near the rear view mirror, four radar sensors, GPS reciever, and an inertial motion sensor.
All of the sensors could malfunction and something could go wrong with the car. Having to rely on all of the sensors to work correctly isn't very safe.
I believe that driverless cars should not be used now, in the future, or ever. If you have a driverless car, they aren't driving themselves they are just assisting you. There are also many things that could go wrong with the driverlass cars also.Technology isn't always reliable, and could not work at any time.I think that there are too many disadvantages to having a driverless car. Don't get a driverless car, they are useless and complete nonsense. | 3 |
In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author supports the idea that Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers in which he talks about throughout the text. There is textual evidence in which he has written that shows his interested in Venus although it being dangerous for anyone. He states many facts in what Venus is like. As well as its many threats to life if it were to land and try to research it.
To begin, he talks about many things about Venus from like how it is Earth's "twin," and the many various dangerous factors it has. For example he states, " Numerous factors contribute to Venus's reputation as a challenging planet for humans to study." This is the author saying Venus is a planet that is difficult to study because of its many factos of danger like high temperatures and high pressure it has that could harm us humans. Which could unintrest us in studying but we still try and solve the questions we have over Venus.
Secondly, the autor talks about the research and studying NASA has been doing over Venus to over come its many challenges in ways that are new and innovative. He states, "Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of innovation." This shows how he feels that no matter what the challenge or problem is that slows us down from traveling we should always be able to think about them and overcome them. Another factor he talked about with this is about human curiosity and how it could lead us to discovering even greater things that could be challenging as well.
In conclusion, the author is very intrested in what happens with the study of Venus and how they should continue to study it no matter what the challenge is. Everthing he talks about shows how people have been trying to research it despite it being hard and all the innovations people are coming up with in order for us to get a chance at learning more about Venus. That's how the author shows Venus is
a worthy pursuit no matter what the danger could be. | 2 |
They say Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for planetary visit. Its a crucial consideration given the long time frames of spave travel. The value of returnung to Venus seems indisputable, but what are the options for making such a mission both safe and scientifically productive.
I think if we can study Venus up close we'll get a better understanding of the planet, like what materials it has and how the weather conditions are. NASA has a compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus. NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray. A blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the rolling Venusian landscape. However, peering at Venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can provide only limited insight on ground.
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 travels should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation. | 0 |
I think that this new technology can be valuable in many different ways. It can help teachers know why a student is acting different. It can also help teachers know why the kid is not turning in his homework. If the kid is getting in to trouble fighting in school teachers can use this to know why he is doing this to see wat is wrong or how he feels.
If a student is acting different in class teachers can use this new technology to identify his emotions and see why he is acting different. That way teachers can know why and maybe have a little talk with him. So that he stops acting the way he is n stop being disrespetful.
This new technology can also help the teachers know why this kid is not turning in his work. He may not turn in his work because he is sad or is not feeling good if teachers know this then they can talk to the kid and help him start turning his work in so that he can pass his classes and graduate.
If a student is getting into trouble, fighting , talking bad to teachers. The principles can use this knew technology to know why he is doing this or how he is felling maybe there is stuff going on at home and he is felling sad and angry at the same time. If teachers know then they can help this kid out and start to meke the kid make good choices.
Well this is why i think the use of this technology is valuable. hoefully we will have this someday i think that it will be really helpful and usefull for teachers i think they will use it a lot to find out how students are feeling or their emotions. | 2 |
For me it can go either way because there are some good and bad outcomes on this subject.First, the good thing about having driverless cars is that we wouldn't have to be scared of driving or crashing since the have sensors, but at the same time we never know if something could go wrong with the car for example what if some type of electricity wire hits the car and makes it do weird things and for all we know it can lead up to the car crashing into someone or taking the wrong turn.In addition, there are many people out there who don't really trust in our technology or even would trust driving a car like this.Next, what I feel negative about these 'driverless cars' is that how lazy it could make us feel to just take a car and lay back the whole time; for me I'am scared for the future to be so advanced what I fear is that we all end up like the humans in Disney's movie, Walle.Also, what would be the point of buying a car if we cant even drive it, I admit it could be really cool, but there are millions of people who love to drive and do it themselves. For me I feel like this project of driverless cars should focus on more things like traveling because there are people who have to drive all night to head to some place for vacation.This article should also tell the readers that you can switch to auto drive whenever you want because the article is more telling the readers how it will drive automatically for you,but they should mention how you can drive it yourself if you wanted to.I will admit that I do find this very intresting for the future of driving cars knowing that we can lay back every now and than and let the cars drive for us, but I feel that it will take more years for cars to drive themselves for me I'd say a couple more 50 years until our technology can actually be smart enough to drive cars for themselves. The positive outcomes of driverless cars are endless, but at the same time the negative outcomes for driverless cars are at a tie with the positive outcomes, but i do feel that in time the tie of these two outcomes will come out with positive being in the lead. Finally, I do know that there is people that will completely deny this from happening and at the same time there will be people who would love driverless cars to happen,but in time we will let fate decide the decission for driverless cars because it is true for some things to happen like in paragraph 9, 'Waiting on the Law', what would happen if the car just had a type of accident, would the owner of the car be blamed for this or would the company be blamed?There is many turn outs for driverless cars where we arent certain if it will be 100% safe or not,but I think it is clear to say that it will never be 100% safe until maybe 2080,but that is just for me. | 2 |
I think that the facial action codeing system is valuable, because it could help people everywhere. It could help in a clsaaroom and many more places it could tell you if someone you know is happy or sad.
I think it would be most useful in a classroom because if a teacher is busy with another student. The computer could notice that your confused and try to show you a different lesson or even just try to show it a different way. This would help the teachers because they would have more help if everyone is stuck on the same lesson and needed help.
Most people would like it because you can use it in video games and movies. They could use it to make the characteristics look more real and it would be easier to make them show their emotions by using the FACS. Because it can read all the muscles in the face so they could use it to make the facial expresions look more real. | 1 |
Have you ever heard of the audacious "Seagoing Cowboys Program"? Let me tell you right now, when I joined, I knew that was the best desicion I ever made. My demeanor was a lot more joyus then ever before. I knew that helping and saving inocent people and animals was the right thing to do. When you join this program, you get to travel the world; help people that survived WWll; save animals; and much much more. I vehemently suggest that you join this audacious progam. You will have numerous amount of fun with me, Luke Bomberger, and my buddy Don Reist.
Let me tell you about some of our adventures. One time we went to the melancholy country, Europe. WWll had just taken place there, and we were helping them recover from this disasterous war. We were collecting numerous amounts of food for them to consume, we recovered their sweet inocent animals, and much much more. I can tell you one thing, after we left that melancholy country, thier demeanors definatley changed. They were very exuberant, and they thanked us more than you could ever possibly imagine. Don and I were off seeking to find more adventure.
After we left the melancholy country, Europe, we headed to Acropolis, Greece and Venice, Italy. But the real adventure was going to China. At China, we cattle-boated, and took care of the sweet animals. Taking care of these animals sure kept me busy. They absolutley had to be fed; and watered at least two or three times a day. Their smelly; nasty stalls had to be cleaned, and bales of hay and oats had to be pulled up from the lower part of the ship. I helped my aunt out on the farm as a boy, and it had prepared me for hard work. The hard work at the farm sure didn't prepare me for this hard work on the ship.
Being a Seagoing Cowboy was more than an adventure for me. I am grateful for this oppertunity; this made me more aware of what other people's needs are. This program opened my eyes. The "Seagoing Cowboys Program" will forever be my favorite program. I was truely blessed with that exiting oppertunity. I am going to join again next year, you will see my name on the list, Luke Bomberger. I hope to see yours on the list also. | 2 |
I think that the face on mars is just a nautral landform because the text states that few scientists believed it was an alien artifact. Also, the passage says that on April 5, 1998 when Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time and the team snapped a picture, revealing that it was just a landform. Even though the team did this, people still beleive that it was a face. The Face of Marshad become a very big thing for pop culture. It was on TV, was in books, and on the radio.
We see things in everyday life like clouds. They remind us of animals, objects, maybe even memories. I cannot make a conclusion and say that cloud is a bunny and think that one day a bunny was in the cloud and it's face started to form. It is based on your perspective. To me, it looks like a natural landform on Mars but maybe to other people it looks like some type of ancient face. If people think it is an ancient face then people are going to ask questions then it creates an even bigger mystery. This was just coencidence. So, that is why I think that the creation on Mars is just a natural landform. | 1 |
Limitation to car usage has had great benefits. People will have better safety, and people are happier and less tense without the usage of a car. Life with no cars are spreading to places such as, Germany, and Bogota. People will tell you how great their lifes have been without the usage of a car.
"When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." Said Heidrun Walter mother of 2, who lives in the Vauban's community. The Vauban community in 2006, is an example of a growing trend in Europe. Bogota, Colombia have limited their car usage as well. Millions of Colombians hiked, biked, skated, or took buses to work during a car free-day they have in Bogota. "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution," said businessman Carlos Arturo Plaza as he rode his bike to work. They've even had people come to watch the event. Like the mayor of Paraguay who said, "These people are generating a revolutionary change, and this is crossing borders."
"Different things are converging which suggest that we are witnessing a long-term cultural shif," said Mimi Sheller, a sociology professor at Dexel University. Now a days people don't need to drive somewhere to go meet people. They just use the internet, and the use of cell phones have increased in communicating with people. With these changes, people who have stopped car commuting in the United States, may find less reason to resume the habit. But in places such as New York, with new bike-sharing program and its skyrocketing bridge and tunnel tools reflect these new priorities. "Pedestrian, bicyle, private cars, commercial and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emmissions and improve safety."
In conclusion, life with no cars would be beneficial. You'll be provided with better safety, and wont be as tense and alot happier than you were before. You'll be able to see what life is really all about. A better life. | 2 |
The Challenge of Exploring Venus. Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too. Earth, Venus, and Mars, these three planets are very simuler. Often referred to as Earth's "twin". But Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers study. I mean Venus is dificault to a there and study. A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blanket's Venus. In article dais, on the Venus's surface, temperatures average over 800 degree Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet. Also notable, Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system, even though Mercury is closer to our Sun. This mean, we can go live there, because Venus has hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system. However, NASA has one particularly compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus. But I think its impossible to study Venus. I mean NASA will not succeed this project. Because, Venus has 800 degrees surface temperature, and almost 97 percent carbon dioxide in their air. So Venus is dangerous and dificualt to study. | 1 |
If we were going to do a complete turn around and go to driverless cars I might cry. Nothing makes me more nervous than a car driving itself with no mind. If a new road goes in they better make sure the car knows what is going on or someone could end up being dead.
Driving down the road is something you might enjoy but their are people that are bad drives I really don't want a 2,000 pound car doing 55 mph coming at me with no mind. Yes they say that the sensors will be top noch and will be the best in the world. What I want to know is there some kind of defense that will keep someone from hacking the system and taking over someones car. We need people to drive cars there is a good and bad side to this issue. Someone could use the car when they are drunk and take advantage to this and then what would we do to the people that get DUI'S. In the article in paragraph 7 it cleary states that no cars are completely driverless yet. All cars still need people to drive them through work sites and accident areas. With all of this happening I don't see cars ever being driverless.
Another down side is how much will these new cars cost? Everything on this car that drives itself should come in a kit not be sold by itself that will cost an arm and a leg if something breaks or you get into a addicent. Also if cars become driverless who is at fault for the crash. In paragraph 9 the same question came up. If you have cameras set up then thats one thing but if you don't who do you blame. That is a tough one to handle that could really screw up some court systems. What if all cars become driverless then what are we going to do about a drivers lincese. If all cars can drive themselves then whats the point in letting only adults drive.
There is also a good side to this what is fun about going on a road trip everyone is having fun but the driver. The family can do stuff in the car but not the driver. This also could take away road rage people don't have to get mad anymore about bad drivers. If they put in a driver mode you could go back and forth between you driving and the car doing it by itself.
At the end of this debate I'm leaning towards the side of I really don't want driverless cars, it can be dangerous out on the road why make it even worse. Cars may make a change but it is up in the air if it will be better or worse for the people in the world. | 2 |
In the first source its explain what a Electoral College is which is not a place it's a process the finding fathers established it in the Constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a Congress vote and by a popular vote of qualified citizens. Electoral College process consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the eledtors where they vote between a President and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress. The Electoral College has about 538 electors a majority of 270 are electoral votes is required to elect the President by which your state entitled allotment of electors equals the numer of members in its Congressional delegation: one for each member in the House of Representatives plus two for your Senators. The 23rd Amendment of the Constitution, the District of the Columbia is allocated 3 electors and treated like a state for purposes of the Electoral College. For this reason, in the following discussion, the word "state" also refers to the District of the Columbia.
The second source talks about the Indefensible Electoral College:Why even the best best-laid defenses of the system are wrong like in the first sentence "What have Richard Nixion, Jimmy Carter, Bob Dole, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and the AFl-CIO all, in their time, agreed on? The answer is 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, but over 60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now. This following year voter have expect another close election in which the popular vote winner could again lose the presidency but yet the electoeral college still has its defenders. What give?...
The last source for the story talks about the defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President. Electoral College is widely regared as an anachronism and a non-democratic method of selecting a president that ought to be [overruled] by declasring the candidate who receives the most popular votes the winner. The advocatesos this postion are coorect in arguing that the Electoral College method is not democratic in a modern sense ... it is the electors who elect the president, not the people. Your votes for a presidential candidate your're actually voting for a slate of electors. There are a selects of parties that a slate of electors trusted to vote for the party's nominee. | 0 |
"All of our development since world war II has been centered on the car, and that will have to change." Mr. Goldberg an official of transportation for America, a growing coalition to promote car frees communities said. The world is changing for the better and one of the machines man created, that is one of the world changing invenions of it's time is coming down for it's throne is the car. So what are the reasons for not getting a car? lets find out.
In Germany, that is coming faster than people think. An idea called "Smart planning' is taking hold in an exprimental town bulit in 2006 named Vauban. A place were cars are a thing of the past. People everyday are not driving to school or work they are walking, bicycling, or taking the tram into the town from the suburb. Smart planning is revoultionary buliding towns to not be dependent on driving. 70% of Vauban's famlies do not own car and are much happier to not have the everyday anxiteys of driving a motor engine car everyday. 57% sold there car just to move into the small town of Vauban. Car free suburbs and town are a growing trend all across Europe, the united states and many more nations. These efforts have been making cities, towns, and suburbs denser so you don't have to go far to get some milk and eggs.
The global warning is a huge part of the fight to make the earth our home more better and healthier for generations and generations to come. Cars emit gas emissions that make up 12% of the greenhouse gases in our enviroment, up to 50% percent in car-intensive areas in the United States and around the world.
France, Paris having heavy smog decided to have a partial ban on driving making even numbered license plates not drive or fear a fine. Congestion went down after the experiment. What was to blame for the smog was the Diesel fuel being used in most cars because of the fact that a tax policy favors diesel fuel over gasoline. Paris having more smog than the typical capital had a decrease in congestion and the citiy after enormous victory decided to go at it again and do odd numbered license cars.
The car culture is one the has had enormous effect on the everyday lives citizens around the world. In the United states, "Recent studies suggest that americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and getting fewer licenses as each year goes by." In America where the car culture has turned us into the number one place in the world to find the history of one of the planets world changing innventions. People want a greener earth and benifits of not owning a car because everybody knows the stress of having a car no matter ho much it helps you. The car in which you have to have insurance, life insurance, car payments, you have to keep up with your car, the dangers associated with having a car and stress plus anxiety that comes with a car. The cons outweight the pros but those pros have an enormous effect. People are changing and the percentile of teenagers and young adults have droped ten fold in getting or renewing a license. The new trend is that people are no longer getting cars or licenses so why should you.
The people of planet earth understand the pros or cons of a car the benifits of not diving and are making for that change. One of the worlds greatest innventions is stepping off there throne. So why will you not get a car? | 4 |
When it comes to the future everybody starts to thinks about flying cars or driverless cars. Well if you didn't know we aren't that far from driverless cars. In fact Google has had driverless cars since 2009. You probably haven't heard about that but it is true. These cars aren't 100% driverless. Every once in a while there is going to be a time where the car will need a human to take over. Everybody seems to love these ideas that we will have driverless cars soon. Personally I don't like. I feel like nothing is going to change. In fact I feel like there is going to be more crashes happening. I am against the development of driverless cars because people will get distracted easily, people won't have fast reflexes, and people will crash more often.
I am against driverless cars because people will get distracted easily. People, especially teens will be on the phone the whole time. This means that they will not be paying attention to the road and watching in case they have to take over the car. Also they will be falling asleep. The driver will start to get bored by just watching the road. Then they will start to fall asleep. This will risk themselves and if they have passengers too to crash. Also if they will be talking to someone. They might have a passenger with them that is a close friend. That friend could be telling a story to the driver that makes the driver not focused on the road but focused on the story instead.
Another reason why I am against the development of driverless cars because people won't have fast reflexes. The driver could be eating while the car is driving itself. The next thing they know is that they have to start driving. The driver is going to take a while trying to put the food to the side and next thing they know is they will be crashing into some other car. Also they could be taking to a friend. If that friend is making the driver laugh the driver won't be ready if they driver has to drive the car himself. Lastly the driver would be on the phone. They'll think that since the car is driving itself that it is fine to be on the phone and they won't have to worry about anything. Well maybe out of nowhere the driver has to drive themselves, they won't be ready to take over while being on the phone.
Last reason why I'm against the development of driverless cars because people will crash more often. If they crash they can cause death of course. The driver thinks that sinec it drives itself then it won't crash at all. Well that is wrong and stupid to think about. Also they will blame the car. This means that they will say it was the cars fault for not warning me or something. When the driver clearly knws that it was their fault for crashing. Lastly they will say they "lost control." Most of the times when there is a crash it's because someone was on the phone.They always say it won't happen to them.They have to be really careful when it comes to taking over the car when they have to.
It's crazy to think that you will crash, but one small mistake and it could happen.
As you can see driverless cars are a big risk. If car companies really want to make these cars then they have to really think about the risks that they are making too. I really don't like this idea because of the risks that are going to happen. I am against the development of driverless cars because people will get distracted easily, people won't have fast reflexes, and people will crash more often. If these casrs do manage to become future cars then people will have to understand the responsibilty to drive these cars. | 2 |
Driverless cars are something that will very soon be a common part of our everyday furture lives. These cars have proven to be a time saving and fuel saving option. They also allow drivers to not have to be in full control as they would have had in normal cars today. Although these would be some very helpful things and would be more economically friendly, driverless cars prove to be very risking and there are just too many questions about ensuring safety for them to be allowed today.
Driverless cars could possibly be dangerous to the driver, other drivers, or people walking around on the street. As of now no driverless cars have been developed that are completely driverless. At any point the car could run into a problem where it needs a person's assistence. This person may not always pay attention like they should and they may not be able to interfere with the problem quick enought to prevent harm.
In these cars the chances of something to go wrong is likely. An accident may occur and the person to blame would be a very good question. The accident may have occured because something went wrong technologically with the car. Another possible thing is the car did not give enough time for the driver to be able to quickly react to the situation. If this were to happen would the driver be at blame because he should have been able to react quicker or should have paid more attention? Or should the car be blamed because it should have sensed the problem?
The chance of something going wrong with the cars and the technology is something else to pay attention to. As of today we can see that there is nearly something that goes wrong with technology daily. The chances of something going wrong with them and causing an accident is very high. The cars review sensors may not detect a young kid laying on the ground trying to recieve his ball that just rolled under the car. This car would then sense there is nothing there and roll over the poor kid. These cars may also read the road wrong or navigate wrong. These errors could cause you to drive on the wrong side of the road or take you down a one way street the wrong way. When you are driving down the road and a situation were to occur that caused you to react quickly how will the car know what to do in the certain scenario?
Driverless cars are definitely a good way in saving your time and energy, but they also can harm you. There are many questions about how safe these cars would be and who to blame if something were to go wrong. Driverless cars are another piece of technology and something could go wrong that could quite possibly endanger the lives of many people. At this time there are too many questions about the driverless cars that need to be answered. But once they are answered and proven to be safe, driverless cars could be the next way of transportation. | 3 |
The author was talking about all off the crazy thing that venus has in common with planet earth, but it would be highly dangerous to go. When the author talks about all of the bad conditions that venus has its makes you really think how hard it would be to get to the hot lava planet. What the author is trying to get you to see is that venus has a lot of dangerous conditions, but that the scientists know how hard that would be.
The author starts off with putting details of venus in our head by saying things like, "A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus" and "On the planets surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit". By this the author is trying to tell you how hard it would be for man-kind to be in physical contact with venus. The author is putting physical details in our head about this planet.
After the author starts talking about that he states the question "why are scientists even discussing further visits to its surface"? The author ask this to us thinking about whats the point if there is nothing speaical its just a hot rock. Wrong, the author states how venus was just like earth it had it valleys it had its water it had everything earth has. It would be very good to know that if anything happen to earth we always have a back up planet to go to.
The last thing that the author was trying to do was talk about how The National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA) has one particularly compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus. When I read that it kinda got me excitied i was thinking we might get to see mars wow thats cool. The author states that "imagines a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the Venusian landscape".
In conclusion what the author is trying to get the reader to do would be make all of the reader think about how cool it would be to be able to go to a "earth like planet". How he uses the details and the things they learned from NASA kinda gets you exicited about what will come in the future. So the author was giving us all of these reasoning about how dangerous it would be but it woukd be very good to know. | 2 |
The planet Venus, is known for having a chaotic surface. Full of carbon dioxide blankets, clouds of sulfuric acid, temperatures over 800 degress and atmospheric pressure of 90 times greater than Earth. Exploration of this planet, seems difficult for scientists. Regardless of that, the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. Throughout the text, the author provides several counter arguments to support his idea of why Venus should be studied up close.
The author shows confidence in his research, he has done an exemplary job of finding statements to support his evidence. He makes it very clear that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it may provide. For example, the mentions that the surface of Venus is deadly to men. He counters this argument with the idea of a flying blimp, orbitating the surface from far enough to where the radiation will not reach the researchers/explorers. The text reads "Imagine a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape" (The Challenge of Exploring Venus). The author provides a reliable source, which is NASA and then proceeds to elaborate on their idea and putting it into appealing words. It is notable that the author has analyzed his idea, and proceeded to support it with solid facts. It is a very interesting text to read, because it is an argumentative essay that discusses with itself. For every arguement, another counter-arguement is provided. This keeps the reader involved and the article interesting. The author also mentions the issue with technology, he argues that "modern computers are enormously powerful, flexible, and quick, but tend to be more delicate when it comes to extreme physical conditons" (The Challenge of Exploring Venus). Therefore, he counters this idea by introducing ancient computers used during World War II, that are more capable of resisting critical physical conditons. The author succeeds to present this article from both sides of the argument.
In conclusion, the details provided by the author throughout the article succesfully contributed to his idea. Although exploring Venus may be a challenge, it is not impossible and further investigation is needed in order to do so. The author argues that humans are very curious about these inditimidating endeavors, but without a doubt it will be a great discovery once it is accomplished. | 3 |
In the article "A Cowboy Who Rode the Waves" Luke was a young seventeen-year-old boy who couldn't turn down the opportunity of a lifetime to go to Europe and help with the horses.
Some of the reasons to join the seagoing cowboys is that they get to see tons of awesome landmarks. If you love horses and cattle then is most likely the job for you. You get to enteract with them and feed them care for them like they were your own. Even if you just want to help out your world out then this could be the job for you.
It's amazing how much stuff you can do there to when the jobs done you might be able to look at the pretty things there. Sometimes if your lucky you have to go right through town so you get to see the pretty things on the way there. When it's time to go back home you play games where the horses were cared for. If seagoing cowboys were still around I would love to be one so badly. It would be so cool if I could be one too.
In conclusion, all i'm saying is that the seagoing cowboys would be something worth doing and worth while. You can go so many places and you rarely go to the same place ever. It sounds so cool and you never know where you'll go, hey you might just go to Egypt and see the pyrimids you just never know. | 1 |
How Dangerous can be Exploring Venus
In the text "The Challenge of Exploring Venus", the author suggest that studyng Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. The author mentions in the text the reasons why he thinks that.
First of all, the author start giving us details about Venus. He mentions how is it called, what is its position on the solar sistem. At the end of the first paragraph the author uses a sentence so he can grab the attention of the readers by saying that Venus is simple to see from Earth, but that it has proved that venus is a challenging place to examine more closely. Which means the author has the enough evidence to prove that is not a good idea to go to venus.
Secondly, on paragraph three the author gives us more specific details. The author mentions the thik atmosphere in carbon dioxide, how clouds are highly corrosivesulfuric acid, the temperatures average, and that the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than we experience on our own planet. This shows the reasons why humans can risk their lifes if they go to Venus so they can explore more about that planet.
Lastly, the author don't just describe bad things about Venus. On paragraph four the author tell us that Venus wasn't different from Earth and that's why astronomers are fascinated by Venus. The text says that Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and because of that it could have supported various forms of life just like earth. However, Venus is not like that anymore, it is still can be dangerous for human to explore there, not just because of the problems humans will face in the planet but the obstacles they have to face during the trip.
In conclusion, the author tries to persuade the readers to believe that studying Venus closer can be dangerous. It has many changes from what you see, how people think it is or how it was from how it really is now. The author supports this idea well, by using information of Venus. | 3 |
You should be a Seagoing Cowboy.
It is fun but there is a lot of challanges to come along with it.
There is also some wonderful places you might want to see to.
Bing a Seagoing Cowboy is lots of fun.
There is a lot of sight seeing.
You get ot spent a lot of time with your friends.
You also get to meet a lot of new people in the places that you go to.
There are alot of challanges to.
There is trying not to sink the boat.
Losing your animals.
Taking care of the animals to, and for last trying not to go overboard.
There is a lot of good sight seeing.
In Greece there is the Acropolis.
In Crete there is the Panama Canal.
I also visited China, and in Venice the streets were filled with water.
Thats why you need to be a Seagoing Cowboy like me.
It is fun, challanging, and there is some good places to see. | 1 |
Studying Venus is a worthy pursuit, alothough it will be a challange. I claim that the author does a good job of supporting this idea. Studying Venus would be benfafitial because it allows us humans to understand more about the closest planet to earth. It would also be benfaftial because it is often referred as Earth's "twin". Studying Venus will not be easy due to the planet having the hottest surface in the solar system.
Studying one of the closest planet's to Earth would be benfafital to us humans because it gives us more knowaldge about it. In paragraph 2 it states " Earth, Venus, and Mars our other planetary neighbor, orbit the sun at differnt speeds. These differences in speed mean that somtimes we are closer to Mars and other times to Venus."
Another quote from paragraph 2 would be "Because Venus is right around the coner--in space terms- humans have sent numerous spaceraft to land on this could-draped world. Both of these quotes show that Venus is benfaftial to study because it does not take long to get information about the planet becasue it is close to earth.
Venus is often referred to as "Earth's "twin", which is also another reason why the author used to to support his claim. In paragraph 2 the auhtor states " Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size." In paragraph 4 it states "Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. Another quote from the passage that supports this idea is in paragraph 4 "Today, Venus still has some features that are analogus to those on Earth. The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familar features such as valleys, mountains and creaters. All of these quotes prove that studying Venus is very benfaftial because it is very smilar in some ways to earth than any other planet in our solar system.
Although studying Venus will indeed be benfaftial, it will not be easy due to the planet with the hottest surface tempture in the solor system. In paragraph 3 the author states " A thick atmosphere of almost 97 precent carbon dioxide blakents Venus. Another quote is in paragraph 2 " 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 in more than three decades. Paragraph 3 states " On this planet's surface, temperatures avarage over 800 degrees farenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experiene on our own planet. Paragraph 3 also states " These conditions are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on Earth; such an enviornment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest part of our oceans and would liquefy many metals." All of these quotes prove that it will be a challange to study the surface of Venus, but in the end the hard work might pay off.
All of these statements prove that the author uses alot of detial througout the article to support the idea of furthuer studying the surface of Venus. It is one of the closest planets to earth, It is also referred to as Earth's "twin", but it will be a challange to study the surface due to the extreme environment that Venus has. This shows that us human's should futur out studys to keep exploring Venus. | 3 |
I want you! as one of my seagoing cowboy's, Why? because It's a good cause for other people of course but that's not the only thing you can do being a seagoing cowboy.
If you join the seagoing cowboys then not only are you helping people but your also gonna have fun in the procces, Like sightseeing. When you join the seagoing cowboys you get to travel to all kinds of places like china, italy, ireland, everywhere that's been damaged or low on resources you get to go there.
Secondly after you join and finish your first mission on the way back you get to have a fantastic time in the animal stalls (you also get to transport animals but thats next paragraph) just hanging around playing fencing, table tennis, basketball, volleyball, boxing, reading, and whittling but that's all they we could think of down in the stalls. But I bet if you joined maybe you could think of a way to spice things up down in the stall's don't you think.
Finally If you join our seariding cowboys then you also get to take care of all the animals that were transporting for other countries that lost practically everything to ruthless attacks in world war II and the pacific war. It's also a benefit to you guys who loves all animals, hey you can even say they love it when you play and mooooove around with them.
But what I'm saying is that joining the seagoing cowboy isnt that bad but the exact opposit infact I went to many places and still find everything around me interesting and new like the adventure will never stop. Man I really hope I get to see you sometime onboard our seagoing cowboys ship I bet we'll have a great time hanging around. | 3 |
"The Challenge of Exploring Venus" is an article focused on the topic of studying Venus and what diffculties can happen, but also the benefits and knowledge gained.
The author describes how exploring Venus can be dangerous but can also help the Earth's population.
The author supports the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents very well with evidence.
The author supports the main idea well with evidence and details included in the article.
At first, the author shows some of the dangers involved in exploring Venus, "These conditions are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on Earth; such an environment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and would liquefy many metals" (3).
This fact gives an example of a bad situation that people might go through if they explore Venus.
The author uses this fact to remain unbiased and show both sides of the argument.
Later in the article, the author says, "Just as our jet airplanes travel at a higher altitude to fly over many storms, a vehicle hovering over Venus would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions by staying up and out of their way... Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans" (5).
This statement describes a solution to humans not being able to survive Venus's conditions.
Exploring Venus is so important that scientests thought of ways to complete that mission safely.
Lastly, the author states, "Today, Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on Earth... Furthermore, recall that Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit, a crucial consideration given the long time frames of space travel" (4).
This realization illustrates how beneficial traveling to Venus is because it could be a planet that humans could use for habitation.
Exploring Venus is necessary because the human population might need to use the planet in the future.
It is always good to have a backup plan if something on Earth goes horribly wrong.
Overall, facts listed in the text support the author's main idea and purpose.
The main idea, that Venus is worthy to pursuit even with its dangerous elements, is supported and shown well by the author.
The author does this by including facts and statements that keep the article unbiased and describe the incredible benefits of exploring Venus.
The main point comes across well because it opens the readers' mind to the possibility of venturing to Venus and what it could do for our planet. | 2 |
Hello to all who is reading this im wrighting this today to on how limting use of aoto-mobiles can help change the envierment. What i mean by all this is that we dont need to stop using cars just simply slow down the use of them or simply make green cars which has great gass mileage and keeps the enviorment clean. Now some people are atill going to drive there big gas sputering cars around but only a few percent of people change how long you drive or what you drive it can really make a differnce on the world to day you could possiable be saving the next generation
So to all those who agree with me buy a green car or stick with your but drive less often there are other ways to get around without use of a car or motercycle there are bicycles roller scates scooters just to name a few and they also help you get in shape.
If you dont agree with me then why are you still reading go hop on your envirment killing machiens and ruin our lovely home called earth. | 0 |
Although many people argue that the Face on Mars could, and or is an alien created artifact, there is much scientific evidence that contradicts this belief. When the Face was first spotted, it was nothing more than an enormous shadow that resembled a head. It had an astonoshing resembelance to an ancient Egyptian Pharaoh, which caught the attention of many NASA researchers. After getting an up close view of the Face, everyone realized that this was just a formation of rock called a mesa, or butte, that was very common to see in this area of Mars.
This landform was confused to be a face since shadows allowed others to view it as if though it had a mouth, a nose, and a pair of eyes. NASA saw this as an oppurtinity to excite the public in order to get more people to focus, and discuss about the Red Planet. Once the Face was viewed by others, it became symbolic and it was often used as the topic of many novels and tabloid magazines. This sudden outburt into social media and literature caused people to conspire up a new story. That NASA was hiding the fact that there was an anciet civilazation they discovered, but never told about.
This is obviously false as NASA would benefit from discovering a trace of life on Mars. Very few scientists shared this thought and decided to get the benefit of the doubt by returning to the Cydonia region to reunite with the Face. Once being able to get a clear view of the Face, they got various snapshots. After the image was released to the public, it showed an ordinary landform which contradicted the theory of it being created by aliens.
Skeptic theorists continued to believe that since the camera had to peer through wispy clouds to be able to locate the Face, markings made by aliens were blurred and couldn't be viewed. Once again, NASA traveled to the Red Planet and took a piture three times larger than the original on a cloudless day. This image defended the fact that this wasn't an alien artifact nor a trace of human life on Mars . It proved to be a butte, a common landform found in this region of Mars.
The resolution was high enough that if there were any symbolic markings on the Face or any human related surroundings, they could be seen by the human eye.
The Face on Mars was proved to be a mesa, or butte. Which isn't only common in the Cydonia region of Mars, it is also common in the Southwestern states of the U.S. A Butte found in Idaho is equivalent to the size of the Face, proving that this wasn't an alien created monument. | 3 |
The author of "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" supports his idea by using various different pieces of evidence while implementing the reality of the potentially dangerous exploration. The new developments in technology put furth a new pathway of innovation in reserach. With the new advancements in technology, scienctist are able to discover many similarities between Venus and Earth. The similarities also bring to view the danger of the planet Venus itself. Studying Venus is a worthy pursuit because of the new advancements in technology, the similarities between the two planets, and the possible challenges of researching the untamed planet.
The ever growing advancement in technology allows for the further reasearch of the neighboring planet Venus. For example when the author says, "another project is looking back to an old technology" to gain insite of what previously worked and what could be improved. Another piece of evidence is when the author states an improvement that can be made, "Systems that use mechanical parts can be made more resistant". The greater and never ending advancements in technology allows scientist to explore the vast similarities between our planet and Venus.
The similarities of Earth and Venus make the reserach worth wild and valuable. For example, Venus has become very fascinated by Astronomers because of how it is "the most Earth-like planet in our solar system" which suggests that the research we gain from Venus could affect how we think about the Earth. Another example is when the author suggests that, "venus can sometimes be our nearest option for planertary visit".
Even with the similarities, the dangers of the planet can make the research difficult.
The conditions of Venus would make research very difficult but not impossible. The planet has many components that would make studying it very hard such as having, " the hottest surface temperature". Venus also has rough terrain and weather such as, "erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightening strikes" which would make landing a ship nearly impossible.
In conlcusion, the research of Venus is valuable to achieve because of the new technology, the likeness of our earth and Venus, and the challenges that will be faced during the reserach. | 3 |
The face that is shown isnt from any aliens ,we have no kind of proof that really tells us that the face piece is by an alien. The piece thatwas spotted was shadowy so it could of been mess with to look like that, instead it could of look clear and smooth but when they touck the face it looked like if there was a shadow .The piece looked if it was during a war Many places that went to go see what the face was made of an airplane,some sent there space robots but they got unclear information .many thought there was life on mars back then so thats hopw the face appear .no one really knows how the face was made. Skeptics thpought the alien marking was covered up by haze so if that was true no one would find out. The face had become popular that it ended up becoming a big hit into hollywood. So no one really klnows how it happen its what ever you believe. | 0 |
You should join the seagoing Cowboys program because you help a lot of people. You take care of different animals. The work is hard, but you'll get use to it and have fun. You should come join us and have some fun.
You helped people that fought for the country. These people almost lost their life in World War Two. It feels great to help out. It's giving back to the people who almost died for us.
It's hard work, but you'll get used to it and start having fun. Once I broke my ribs but I didn't quit. I worked harder and longer. I had to sit out until my ribs were better. When they heeled I was back to work in no time.
Last you get to work with farm animals. I feed the horses and give them water. After a while you make a strong bond with these animals and take care of them like they're yours. It's hard work because you have to fed them three times or twice a day.
Come join the seagoing Cowboys. We will enjoy your comings. We need more people to help out, so if you have a freind tell them to join as well. That's why you should join the seagoing cowboys. | 2 |
For a long time now we have been fighting against global warming and polution. Some people why we cant just end the fight quickly. And the reason is simply because we still rely so much on cars. All people need to find so type of way to stop using cars as much. There are some places that are already starting to limit uses. Like in Vauban, Germany who has a ban on cars, Paris, France who can use certain cars on certain days, and Bogata, Colombia.
One way people could limit their use of cars is if they did something like what Vauban, Germany did. Build cities that had no drive ways and no parking lots. That way people had to buy parking garge spots that cost alot of money. According to source one passanger cars are responsible for twelve percent of greenhouse emissions in Europe. Many will think this is not alot but think about how much polution there is, then find out how twelve percent is it will be alot. But when these types of cities are made there will be a reduce in the emissions because little if any cars we be driven here. In source one Heidrun Walter said "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." This showes that without cars in people life it removes a tremondus amount of stress. People dont have to worry about spending money on gas or they don't have to worry about paying large amounts of money for their car to be fit. When there is not so much money at stake you tent to be a little less tense. Obvously creating a city were you have to buy a parking garage spot to hold your car would be a great idea because it would reduce the amount of polution being released and it would make the people living in the city less stressed.
Another ways people could limit the use of cars is if they do something like Paris, France does. They placed a ban on cars with odd numbered licens plates on Mondays, And placed a ban on cars with even numbered licens plates on Tuesdays. They did this because they were having record breaking amounts of polution being released. They were releasing more polution than Beijing, China who is the leading city in polution. But according to article two Paris found a sixty percent decrease in polution in just five days of this even odd ban. This means they lost more than half of the cities polution by limiting the cars on Monday to only even licens and limiting the cars to only odd licens on Tuesday. Cleary this is a very effective method of reducing the amount of cars being used.
A third way cars could be used less is if you have no car days like Bogata, Colombia has. In article three Carlos Arturo Plaza says "It's a good way to take away stress and lower air polution." He is saying that cars a cause for polution and doing this day is a good way of lowering polution rates. This source also stated that other cities in Columbia like Cali and Valledpar are joining in this event. It is also said that other country leaders go to Colombia to watch this event. Afterwards they say the event is awesome. This means that not only is the event spreading across Colombia, but it could possibly spread to other countries as well. Without a doubt this is another effective way to limit the use of cars.
It is clear that cars are a problem. But many people use them anyway, but what they don't think about is how much they are contributing to polution. Some ways to limit car usage are create cities where you have to pay for a place to store you car, have and even odd licens day, and have no car days. So now the shoice is yours will you continue driving all the time or will you limit the amount you drive? | 3 |
