Venus is like earth with just worser conditions to living. It's the closet planet to earth in terms of density and size. Studying Venus isn't easy. You can not really sample things on the ground there, that's why NASA is trying to come up with new inventions to help us study Venus.
Studying Venus is a worthy pursuit because if you meet the challenge presented by Venus you see the value of it, it will lead human curiosity into many equally intimidating endeavors.
In paragraph 4 the text states " Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like earth " this meaning that back then Earth and Venus were some what the same even to now they still are. Venus can be sometimes be the nearest option visit for a planetary visit. When NASA sends humans to study Venus they face hostile conditions on the surface of Venus, and if they go Venus would allow scientist to float above the fray. It wont be easy conditions but it is survivable for hor humans. It is good and bad because they are hovering over the ground safetly but at the same time they cant take samples of rock, gas, or anything else, from a distance. Due to trying to study more on Venus, NASA is working on other ways to approach studying Venus.
This is how it is when NASA tries studying for Venus, it's hard for them because when Venus is sometimes around the corner ( in space terms ),humans have sent numerous spacecrafts to land. No spacecraft sruvived the landning for more then a few hours. But hopefully they come out with successful ways to study Venus one day. | 2 |
Many believe that the "Face On Mars" was created by aliens. I believe it is just a natural landform. People believe that is was created by aliens because it "resembles a human head . . . formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth."
I still don't believe aliens was the cause of this unique landform.
First off, I don't believe in aliens and second, even if they do or did exist how could they create such a creative landform?
If aliens do exist, how would they know what a human looks like? I believe it is just an illusion.
Many weird, unique, creative landforms are found around Earth that weren't human made, so just because there is a unique landform on Mars we believe aliens formed the landfrom? I believe scientists and other people this to start rumors or just want everyone to believe people say this to get a rise out of every one else. Also, I think they just want it to be big news, "Aliens are real and we have evidence!" or something that will get a rise out of everyone.
"Michael Malin and his Orbiter Camera team snapped a picture ten times better than the original Vikings photos. "Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing . . . a natural landfrom. "There was no alien monument after all."
That is some evidence that aliens didn't create this landform and that it is just a natural, very unique and creative, landform. Natural landforms are everywhere, even different planets. There are many natural landforms on the moon, but no one says there is aliens living on the moon.
So, I hope this explains to you that aliens did NOT create this landform, it is a natural landform.
The only difference is is that it is on a different planet instead of Earth. I believe that's why everyone thinks aliens created it. Like I said before, natural landforms are everywhere, they're natural so of course they'll be everywhere. So, don't let some person with no evidence tell you there are aliens on Mars and they it for a fact because someone else said it was true. If you ever want to be a scientist, you need to find your own evidence or make sure whoever you got the evidence from is correct. Also, you NEED to be skeptical. | 2 |
As a scientist at NASA, I think the face that was captured on Mars is just a natural landform and not something that was created by aliens. When Micahel Malin and his group of Mars Orbiter Camera snapped a photo ten times bigger and clearer than the original viking photos, People were excited and were watiting when the was image was first posted on JPL web site, it revealed.... a natural landform. Yes, there wasn´t any alien statue. It has nothing to do with aliens.
Even after that. People stilll believe that perhaps the real alien monument was hidden by a wind since it was winter in the Red Planet. So, mission controllers are preparing to look again for some real eveidence. They said that it was a real hard work since they don´t pass around that particular alien statue look alike very often.
As they keep looking, they finally take the picture they wanted to take but it was not a good quality. ¨As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size,¨ explains Garvin. Guess what they found? but before that, he also says that if there are any objects or anything on the planet, they will be able to see it by zooming it. When they actually study about the photo that they have taken, there is no such things as alien monument or anything extraordinary. Garvins expressed his thougts, ¨It reminds me most of the Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain in Idaho,¨ and added, ¨That´s a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the face on Mars.¨
So, I hope you understand my point now that you know NASA have studied Mars over and over for a lot and a lot period of times and still, there are no alien discovery. If there are ever any alien discovery or something
extraordinary that NASA have found on Mars, or say any planet. It is most likely that we will want to share it to the public about it. No, we wouldn´t want to keep it a secret because we wish there was an ancient civilization on Mars. | 1 |
I know and believe the
"face on Mars"
is just a natrual landform. I don't find it possible that this landform could be evidence for any life on Mars. Even if it was why would there be a head without a body to be found? Also, why would NASA hide something like this, this would be considered a good discovery? All these things are reasons why I believe that ''face on mars'' is a natrual landform.
"Face on Mars could'nt of possibly been evidence of life on mars because, why would there be a face but no body to go along with it. Also, If NASA had dicovered something as amazing as life on Mars they would be happy to let the world know. The only reason to believe there is life on Mars is the natraul landform other than that there is no reason to believe. In conclusion, I do not believe that the ''face on Mars'' is proof of life. I also feel that the natrual landform is the only reason people believe that it is. | 1 |
When looking at a old photo, many think what it was like for that person and how they felt, but now you can find out. The Mona Lisa is one of the most iconic paintings in the world. It's known as one on the best self-portraits ever created due to it's realism. Now with the help of new software the Facial Action Coding System, it now has a various amount of things its can do. You do not have to just use it for paintings. I believe that schools can benefit from the use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom when taking tests and or in a lesson.
The Mona Lisa was tested on using this amazing software and from these findings we can use it in diffrent fields. When the Mona Lisa was tested it was found that she was 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry. How cool is that, how we simply use a software to discover things that we may have once not known or were uncertain about. This can change the way everyone look at pictures today and in the near future. We are getting more advanced every single day. If start to use tech such as this software today we can discover more than ever before. Many people can benefit from such advancements like researchers and schools.
Schools all across the world can become far better educators from this. All across the world students take many tests. Many high schoolers and college students in a classroom feel very stressed out from all the work they do. With this software we can help them when they need it. This can be put into a classroom where the computer and can recognize when a student is becoming confused or even bored. This could help many who struggle through lessons and even bring students up to par with others. This technology can modify the lesson like a more effective human instructor. If we can help every indivisual student by reading their emotions then we can help each student acheive.
The Facial Action Coding System is a very great advancment in technology. I believe that if schools can encorperate this software into thier lessons that students will not be as streesed, bored, and confused. Every school should realise the value this can bring to a class. | 2 |
The use of technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is not taht valuable bacause you can tell how a person might be feeling by looking at their face expression. People show their feelings by showing their facial expression towards others, but some people just wont show how they feel with facial expressions, they might express their emotions through words.
Emotional expressions are not always a true version of a person's feelings. People some times pretend to express something else then how they really are feeling inside. Everyone has gone through the same problem of having to fake a smile and pretend to be happy, but in the inside you might just feel awful. Also, there's no reason why a computer should tell us how we're emotionally feeling, the paragraph shows how a student gives his or her parthner directions on how to move the muscles to smile, which it shows that by looking at the muscles on someone's facial expression we can aslo tell their emotional expressions.
Knowing how someone feel can aslo make you figure out a way on how you could help out and make them feel better if they're not feeling well. A computer can't help out someone feel better, but us as humans can. Technology is not valuble for students in a classroom, it can help read your emotional expressions, but it can't help you feel in a better way. | 2 |
From the research and development of Dr. Huang and his colleague, computers are now able to understand what people are feeling based on the muschle movement on their faces. These muscle movement can be classified into basic emotions that human are experiencing. With the help of this program, computer can detect the emotions of people and make changes accordingly. I think this technology should be brought into classrooms for students as this can help them understand better by interpreting whether they are confused or not.
In Dr. Huang's prediction, he claims that the use of this technology can recognize the emotional status of the students. When they are detected to be confused, the computer can make changes to the lessons in order to make it easier or better explained. This can accelerate the progress of the study as teachers will not be worrying about which part that students do not understand. More specific explaination can be made immediately when students seem to be confused, and skip easier parts when students become bored. Classes will be become more efficient for both teachers and students: teachers will not be guessing what students do not understand and waste time on easy parts while students will always be learning what they actually need to understand.
Not only is this technology valuable in teaching students, but also crucial in finding out the feelings of them. Because this program records muscle movements on our faces, students will not be able to show an unreal emotion or it will be detected. Therefore, when teachers are trying to help students on their emotional difficulties, such as anger and sadness, they can understand what they are actually feeling. Students will not be able to hide their feelings by making false expressions that may help them escape from the help that they actually need. Teachers can understand what students are really feeling in their real emotions, and provide help as soon and helpful as possible. This technology can be crucial to students' lives even though they may try to avoid the help that is provided as they may not understand the outcome of those bad emotions. Therefore, I believe that besides the efficiency this technology can provide in education, the importance of it for teachers to communicate better with students should also have a considerable power in deciding whether or not it should be brought into classrooms.
The development of this technology can truly help the communication between people as they are able to understand what others really feel and express. Misunderstanding can be made right through this program as people can read the expression of others. In the classroom, students' expressions to different ideas can be detected and analyzed by the teachers. They can then give extra help based on the understanding of those expressions. Students feeling upset can also be understood, and teachers' immediate attention can be provided to them. This can save much time and effort in interpreting the real feeling of the students, making the school progress much more efficient. Therefore, I think that this technology will become very valuable in classrooms with its various ways in helping students and their teachers understanding of each other. | 4 |
The author of this passage thinks that Venus would be a worhty planet to investigate because it may have once been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system, in paragraph 4 it states "Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life...", so what the author is tying to get at is that we could understand what happened to venus and would help us understand more on how we can alternate things to send over to venus to help us study it.
Some solutions that the author stated on what we could do to be able to live there so that we could study it better were that we could build a bimp like vehicle so that it would hover over the planet avoiding all of the dangers. But in doing so would still lead us to the questions how would we be able to get samples like rocks and things that they need to tudy it and he said that scientists today are coming up with solutions that would help us be able to get the thngs we need without having to get out or get harmed.
The author stated that Venus would be very important to study because tht would probably be the first planet that we could ever be able to visit and it would be best if we understood it more. And the fact that it used to be like earth could lead us to believe that this could happen to earth to, and this would help us to either prevent it from happening or to avoid it and maybe travel to another planet and avoid it. | 1 |
After a presidential election, citizens soon start to realize that their word doesn't matter. The Electoral College are the voters that mean more to the presidential candidates, and it is a disrespectful system to be the face of our ways of democracy. In these sources citizens and governors want to abolish this system of voting and deciding a blind fate for America. The people vote for the electors not the president, the electors elect the president not the people, and the possibility of the disaster factor happening on future elections. Popular vote doesn't seem to have much of a purpose anymore because the electors seem to be making the desicions in this country.
Starting off, the people of this country need to know on what they are voting on rather from what they thought they could of been voting on. The Office of the Federal Register state," You help choose your state's electors when you vote for president" (soure 1). They insist that we are basically voting for a possibility to get the candidate we want or to be betrayed and vote for the other party. Truly this means that this system is cheap and could backfire. Not only that but half or a little over half of citizens seem to take responsibility to vote, in that case it makes it harder to get the electoral votes to go in favor of popular votes. Our votes only exsist to help choose votes.
Asisting the first claim, our votes are unexistent. Richard A. Posner claims,"it is the electors who elect the president , not the people"
(source 3). Right of the bat the Constitution and it's preamble is disrespected by this system. The preamble says that we as citizens of this country are the voice of this land and would further on insist or choose what we want it to be known as. But, that can't necessarily happen if we don't vote. Posner also says " ( and that trust is rarely betrayed)" (source 3). Even though this is a fact there is still the possibility or the potential to be nailed or betrayed by the electors. If there is a possibility in something unfair to happen by law it should be taken down and changed for our safety. Yet this happened in 2000 , when W. Bush aquired more electoral votes than Gore but Gore had more popular votes. A plurality only has a chance to win electoral votes.
additionally, the system could supposively allow for much worse tricks and grief. Bradford Plumer describes "The single best argyment agaisnt the electoral college is what we might call the disaster factor" (source 2). The disaster factor includes legislatures replacing the Democratic electors with new ones and this happened in the 2000 fiasco. This is were the popular votes and higher that the electoral votes given to the president. Knowing that the legislatures could succesfully replace or revise or votes into the opposing party. Voting campaigns seem to just be a game , the electors want to win so 17 sates didn't even have the chance to see the candidates at all. This is the system sudgested by our founding fathers and it is a mockery to let it stay and bring judgement to our votes.
It is humorous to and unfair to see the electoral college take over our votes. It seems that our votes are only seen as jokes. As if the whole preamble was a way to joke around with the citizens and give them hope. Many governors want to Abolish the electoral college, and most of us should take responsibility to vote for this and dismantle the electoral college from ever taking over our voice. The disaster factor, the way on how the electors decide, and how we vote for the electors not the president, are prime examples on how irrational this system is. The only way to get our voice back is to ablolish it and start over fresh with a new system in mind. | 3 |
Hi my name is Luke Bomberger . I am a Seagoing Cowboy . I helped countries recover from World War II . Countries were left in ruins and destroyed from the war. The food supplies, animals, and more were scarce . If you have read another article about the same topic then you know 44 nations joined together to form the United Nations Relief and Rehabilations Administration (UNRRA).
When you travel as a Seagoing Cowboy you are doing great deeds and helping countries , but you see wonderful sightings of the countries. I've toured an excavated castle in Crete. It is such a benefit having the job. Also your not just helping animals and with food your helping people . For me being a small-town boy it was a unbelievable opportunity of a lifetime.
If you want to join you have to be fairly prepared because when it rains it is slippery. Being a Seagoing Cowboy is much more than an adventure it opened the world up to me. It made me more aware of other people and other countries needs. On board is rteally enjoyable we play baseball, volleyball, boxing , and others. If this sounds like something you are intrested in please sign-up . I am postive and most certainly promise you'll have a eye-opening experiance. | 2 |
The author describes how a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System enables computer to identify human emotions by letting know people detect exactly how other people are feeling without being tell about it. It had been created a new software to develop the knowledge of the emotions of others. Although, new applications of thisgeneration can calculate math homework. The Monalisa has been used for this discovery,
Dr. Paul Eckman is the creator of FACS, also they uses a computer to created 3-D model of the face basics emotions.
First, the author describe how a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System enables computer to identify human emotions by a computer. This portrays that the technology has been update to let people have more knowledge about this new era. The Monalisa has been used for this discovery. The text says" She's 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry." This show us that by just looking at their face we can't notice all this emotions on this paint of Leonardo da Vinci's.
Second, the author describes how a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System enables computer to identify human emotions just by looking at their normal face. This shows how the technology have been update upon all this year, every year that pass, more discovery are treaten at the world. Dr. Paul Eckman is the creator of the FACS. The text says " Eckman has classified six basic emotions- happines, suprise, anger, disgust, fear and sadness." This means that the new discovery of Dr. Paul Eckman can identify 6 basic emotions.
Third, the author describes how a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System enables computers to identify human emotions by showing people thier emotion in only one picture of them. This new technology shows how people can have their knowlegde in this topic withot being an expert. To do this discovery they uses computer to created a 3-D model of the face basics emotions. The text says " The process begins when the computer construcs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 muscles in the model must move like human muscles." This means that all the 6 emotions are associated with each charactheristic movements of the facil muscles.
In conclusion, the Facial Action Coding System is usesfull to know the characteristic movement of the facial muscles. | 1 |
Many people may think that the face on mars was created by aliens but, they are wrong. The face on mars is just a natural landform. In paragraph 12 it states that what the picture shows is actually the martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landform, common around the American West, this statement is basically saying that there are many landforms that can look like faces or any type of other iiregular feature.
In paragraph 7, it explains how Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera team took a much better picture than the origianal Viking photo. When Michael Malin and his camera team snapped the photo it revealed a natural landform, giving proof that there was no alien moument at all. And with that being done, it gives us even better reason to believe that it is just the way the ground looks.
The last two paragraphs in the article "Unmasking the Face on Mars" are most likely indicating that things can look different up close and also, from a distance. As I said in paragraph 1, paragraph 12 even states that landforms like that are common around the American West Meaning, that there could be a landform anywhere that looks like an alien, a martian or even an egyptian god! | 2 |
Dear Senator,
I am writing this letter to inform you of how I think changing to election by popular vote for the president of the United States would be better than keeping the electoral college. Back in 1960, in the Louisana legislature, segragations nearly succeeded in replacing the Democratic electors with new electors who would oppose John F. Kennedy. Occasionally, electors have refused to vote for their party's candidate and cast a deciding vote for whomever they please. The electoral college is unfair to voters because of the winner-take-all system in each state. With an electoral college it's the electors who elect the president, not the people. The Electoral College method of selecting the president can turn off voters for a candidate who has no hope of carrying their state. Voters in presidential elections are people who want to exspress a political preference rather than people who think that a single vote may decide an election. | 1 |
Twenty-five years ago the JPL took the first photograph of the Face on Mars. The face on Mars is actually a naturally occuring land formation. Several photographs of the face have been taken over the last 27 years. The photographs were all taken by Nasa's Jet Propulsion Labratory (JPL).
The face on Mars was not created by aliens. Although it may look that way, the face is actually the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa. The same landforms are common around the American West. In Cydonia, the area where the photographs were taken, butte's and mesa's are common. The Martian mesa has wierd shadowing on the top which, caused it to look like a face. If the Face on Mars was created by aliens it would be easy to tell, because "Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters."The refore making the image incredibly clear and making it easier for analyst to identify what the face actually is.
Even if it was created by aien lifeforms hundreds of years ago, Nasa would not keep this a secret from the world. Because it would benefit them. And also if it was created by alien lifeforms and Nasa wanted to keep it a secret, why would they release the image in the first place. Therefore the Face on Mars is a naturally occuring land formation | 2 |
Driverless cars are coming faster than expected. They say there is one that is being relased this year. If this is the case it will be driverless about 90 percent of the time. The only time the driver will need to drive is around road work and accidents. The first completly driverless car is estimated to be relased around 2020. I think that the driverless cars will do wonders to the world.
The reason i think that driverless cars will be a good thing is there could be less accidents around the world. The main reason we have wrecks is because its mostly the person driving the car not paying attention. Driverless cars will always have a eye on the road so if it senses danger its going to go cautiously and warn you of the danger.
Another reason i think Driverless cars are a good idea is it will save more fuel in the long run. Driverless cars will more than likley run on a battery and or solor power to run. That also means that they will cause a lot less poulution in the atmosphere.
The last reason i think driverless cars will be a hit is it will be fun to use them. Just think if we can have driverless cars what else we could put in them. They could have bulit in WIFI, coffe makers, and we can even make them self starting. Just think of the endless possiblities that could happen.
Those are the reason i think we should continue to devlop driverless cars. Less accidents, higher fuel savings, and the endless possiblites that come with it. If you dont think we should devolp dirverless cars read this and im sure it will change your mind on the matter at hand. | 2 |
A Seagoing Cowboy is someone who helped take animals to the countries that were devestated by World War ll.
I, Luke Bomberger, am a Seagoing Cowboy.
I not only got to help others who were in need, but I also got to expirience the sights and hisoric landmarks in other countries.
I highly encourage you to join the UNRRA (the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration) and be a Seagoing Cowboy.
Think of how sad you would be if you were devestated by the war and had barely anything left.
Wouldn't you want someone to help bring you supplies such as animals?
Well you can be one of the few people to contibute.
The families over seas are all very kind and appriciative.
Though they are still very much in need.
So, you would just be helping the cause by joining.
Over the past year, me and my friend, Don Reist, have had the opportunity to see historical landmarks.
The chance to just see Europe and China would have been special.
But Don and I got to expirience so much more than that.
We got to see the Acropolis in Greece.
Also, taking a gondola ride in Venice, Italy, a city with streets of water, was a treat.
I have also toured an excavated castle in Crete and marveled at the Panama Canal on my way to China.
Come on.
Don't tell me you wouldn't love to have the opportunity to see the Panama Canal!
All you have to do is join the Seagoing Cowboys.
As you can clearly tell, being a Seagoing Cowboy is truly a great expirience.
We get to help those in need, and also have the chance to see historic landmarks around the world.
I hope that soon, you will decide to be like Don and I and join the UNRRA and become a Seagoing Cowboy. | 2 |
Join the Seagoing Cowboys Program
I'm Luke Bomberger I am part of the Seagoing Cowboys program. I think you should join too. Here are some resons why I think you should join the program. It's fun, you do a lot of activities such as baseball, vollyball, table-tennis, fencing, boxing, reading and, whittling on the way back. You play the games where the animals used to be.
You also get to see a lot of wonderful places. I've traveled to China and Europe. I saw the Acropolis in Greece, I took a gondola ride in Venice, Italy where the streets were water, I've toured an excavated castle in Crete, and saw the Panama Canal on my way to China. We actually do have time to see places on our way to places.
It opens the world up to you. It's a life changing opportunity. I'm very gratefull I have that opportunity. It made me more aware of the countries in need and that awareness has always sayed with me. That is why I think you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program. | 1 |
Many around the world are limiting car usage and beginning to use other sources of transportation. Cars cause polution and tension to people everywhere. If citizens begin to limit car use and walk, bike or use public transportation instead, people will be much happier and the environment will be too. Citizens of America and Europe are already trying to cut down on driving and limit the excess polution to our environment. "Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France, after five-days of intensifying smog..." (Duffer, 14).
Cars cause a great portion of polution to our environment. If citizens of countries around the world limit car usage, then the envirnment we live in will become more safe and less poluted. "Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe... and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive ares in the United States," (Rosenthal, 5). Since most cars use gasoline and diesel, they are emitting poisonous gases into the air, this could cause smog. By limiting car usage there will be a positive outcome on our envirnoment. "It will have beneficial implications for carbon emissions and the envirnoment, since transportation is the second largest source of America's emissions, just behind power plants," (Rosenthal, 34).
In Bogota, Columbia, there is a day set to be car-free, which allows millions to use sources of transportation other than cars. "Millions of Columbians hiked, biked, skated or took buses to work during a car-free day yesterday," (Selsky, 20). By walking, biking, or using public transpotation citizens around the world and even in America, can get around using a car. When driving to work, you can encounter traffic jams, or wrecks, but by using a bike or by walking, you can bypass the stress. "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way," (Rosenthal, 3).
If fellow citizens around the world limit the use of cars, then our environment will be less poluted as well as, less stressful. "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution," (Selsky, 24). Even young people are limiting the usage of cars. "A study last year found that driving by young people decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009..." (Rosenthal, 41). Take the initiative, and decrease polution and stress by limiting the use of cars. | 2 |
They should do the program because in the program you will learn how to be a cowboy. Also you will learn how to travel the seas and survive in cold wheather. So being in the program could be fun because you will learn how to be a cowboy. Luke wants to be a segoing cowboy because he likes to travel the seas and he also likes to be a cowboy. Another reason is because he wants to have fun as a cowboy and he really wants to go travel the seas. He wants to have fun because he never has fun at his house so that is why he wants to have some fun. His house is probably boring so that is also why he wants to go outside and have some fun at the program because he wants to get out of his house and have fun. He wants to go outside and do the program so he can be a cowboy and have fun. To train to be a cowboy you have go through obstacles and overcome your fears so you can travel the seas. You also want to be able to ride the waves so you be brave and save people from your enemies. You also defenitely need to be strong so you can overcome your fears and fight bad guys so you can take them down so that is why you need to be strong. You also need to be brave so if you get put in a bad situation you will know how to get out of the bad situation so you won't get hurt while you are in the bad situation so that is why need to learn how to get out of a bad situation. You also need to learn how to stay calm in a bad situation if you do not stay calm then you will get hurt so that is why you need to learn how to stay calm in a bad situation. You need to watch out for the terrible situations in the terrible situations then you will get hurt. In the bad situations you usually will not get hurt or injured. So if you are a cowboy you need to watch out for the bad situations and the terrible situations because you will get hurt. So that is why you have to watch out for the bad situations and the terrible situations. So you have to at least tryout for the seagoing cowboys program because you never know what could happen at the program. You could have fun or you could get hurt or injured. So you have to watch out for that so you do not get hurt or injured. If you want to be a cowboy you have guns to protect yourself and when enemies try to shoot you then you can shoot them instead. So you might not get hurt if you carry guns on you for protection. | 1 |
Google confounder Sergey Brin believes that driverless cars could be fundamentally change in the world.
Google has had cars that help a driver since 2009 but still doesn't drive by its self. There shouldn't be cars driving theirselfs around. There would be an accident or a techonolgy problem that could cost someones live. Google wouldn't take the responsibility for that it would try to protect themself.
First, In paragraph 4 it said, "The combination of all this input is necessary for the driverless car to mimic the skill of a human at the wheel.". Don't think a lot of people would feel safe, do you? Probably there would be many people against it because who would feel safe knowing a machine drives by it's self .
Then, in paragraph 5 it said, "The information from the sensors can cause the car to apply brakes on individual wheels and reduce power from the engine, allowing far better response and control than a human driver could manage alone.". How can they be sure there wouldn't be techology problems when the car is driving by itself? would well take responsibility for someone that's been in an accident? People will be having many questions about this driverless car. How can people know they will be safe.
Next, in paragraph 7 it said, "...BMW announced the develpment of "Traffic Jam Assistant"... non of the cars developed so far are completely driverless. They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skill...GM has developed driver's seats the vibrate when vehicle is in danger of backing into an object..." Having a assistant is fine but what if the driver can't avoid something on time or when its backing out accidently hit someone else. Who's fault would it be the car or the driver?
In conclusion people should be against the driverless cars. We will never know when a techologyical problem can happen and we may not be ready. People should consider not making any driverless cars, there's already too many accidents with humans driving. | 2 |
In emtions there are different ways you can tell if a person is happy or sad but you have you ever thought you could be everyone of them at once. I feel like you cant know for certian what people are feeling becasue people only know what they truly feel. There are ways you cant tell for examples by there facial muscles. You can tell the differenece from a real smile or a fake smile. For a guniene smile you will seee that the cheeck bones lift up the corner of your mouth. If its a fake smile your face streaches sideways. You can also tell by taking a test of a computer. You can immaute other peoples emotions. For example if your showing empthly for someone. I feel like a person can feel a lot of different emotions and that may not be the true one but you can try to figure it out by doing these things. It has helped me learn how to figure of people emotions better and especially when you take a pic with them. | 0 |
Mesa's form all of the time and they are a natural occurance and they should not be considered differently just because the land formation looks like a face. Mesa's form due to rocks that pile up nad form when erotion occurs from wind and other nutrients and minerals brush over the rock and the wind loose minerals that cause the Mesa to look like a face.
Nutrients and minerals loosen and crack over time as strong winds blow over formations and look like they are faces, trees, and other land for mations femaninans. the scientists have proven this over the years adn even done tests and studies on certian erotion types. some differnt erosion types are wind, oceans, rain, and other natural causes that over the years have caused thing to fade away mineral by mineral or brick by brick.
As you can see through the pictures as the years go on the cameras used by the space ships adn space things have evolved like erition only differnce is that erosion is bad sometimes, technological advances have occured througout the years and this is even another sign of erotion. Some of the tiem advancements can be abad thing becasue natural resources are lost by advaces and erotion. Stomachs can erode thing by the acids in them. they eat away at the food inside and can be fast or it can be slow.
The "face" on the planet mars is considered a face because it looks like one. Humans can look like animals but they arn't, technically. The "face" is there becasu eof the mineral build up and the rocksa dn dust that have collected there becasue of the strong winds and the mild winds and just winds in gernal. as the mineral build up grew and the winds picked up the minerals and dust blew away and then went somewhe else.
So this particular arguement is going to be ended by me saying that I am right your wrong and your going to go look all of this up and find out theat erotion and minerals are all natural and then you will come back adn thank me so you dont look odd when some asks you about the "face". | 2 |
venus sometimes is called evening star because in the night make some lights in the sky venus is actually planet in our solar sistem this planet is the second from the sum venus is along time by earth this planet is close to earth in size and occasionallyare cose to earth too.
venus and mars this are the anothers planets orbit to the sumand a diferent speed venus alwas is around the the corner in space .
venus almos have a 97% percent carbon dioxide blanketson the others planets surface temperatures average over 800 degrees and thgem pressure is 90 times greater than we are experience in our own planet .
the planet have superface of rocky sodiment and includes familiar features like valleys and mountains and craters sometimes will be conciderate give the long time frames or space travel.
the national (nasa) has one in particular compelling idea for around 170 degrees the sistemsolar have a 9 planets and the only one we they live there the name is earth this is only one planet have water,life,oxigen,air,nitrgeno,oxido this is thinks what we really nedd in real life this planet have animals,birds and persons too | 0 |
Using this technology would be good for students in a classroom. It would be good, because if the student is getting bored the computer could make the lesson more entertaining. Also if the student seems to be getting confused the computer could go into more detail about the topic it is teaching. If the sudent liked that type of teaching style the computer could tell by his/her facial expressions and teach like that again. If the sudent got bored while in a lesson on the computer the computer would notice and make the lesson more entertaining. From personal experience whenever I am getting bored in a lesson I just space out, but with a more interesting teaching style I would not get bored. The author states, " 'A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored,' Dr. Haung predicts. 'Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor.'" That example shows that the computer will be able to be more like a human teacher and switch up the lesson type if you are getting confused or bored.If the student starts to get confused the computer can notice that and go into more detail like a real human teacher. The author states, " 'A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored,' Dr. Haung predicts. 'Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor.'" Having the computer notice when you are confused could really increase the learning growth by going itno more detail whenever the student gets confused. The student could also like that type of teaching style and the computer could teach like that again. The author states, "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." Having the computer know when you like something and do not like something could be a really good thing. If you do not like the teaching style the computer can tell then try something new, but if you do like the teaching style then the computer will teach like that again. Choosing to use this technology would be good for the students, because in this time period everything is being done on computers. So getting this new technology would really benefit the students of today, and into the future. | 2 |
There are many advantages of limiting car usage around big cities, not just pollution. For example there is more excerise involved in comuting back and forth from work to home or school. Think of all the possibilites by not having to use a car, you get to meet new people that you wouldnt if you just drove, you could save money on gas to help pay bills.
The reasons for driving is that there are many miles of distance between you and your destination and your running late, or there is also a possiblility of you being to lazy to walk anywhere. When did people in general from all around the world gets so lazy? I say this because if you live in a compacted city like new york or paris, everything is basically within walking distance and if no there are subways and trams to help. I understand if your way out into the country why you need car cause there is nothing you can really do but city peoples should at least try to limit you car usage.
I believe that what paris did was right, by prohibiting car usages for 5 days. They were at very high levels of pollution in the city and it drastically decreased once they stopped car usage all over the city. Many people may not have been happy about getting find but they can defenetly breathe better. Also vauban in germany is on the right track if they are heading for being green. I think people should listen to these few countries and help make this planet accessibly livable. | 2 |
In today's world, people often strive for the next technological innovation. As a result, various companies in the technology industry are attempting to develop driverless cars. However, the article "Driverless Cars are Coming" manifests that the technology is not beneficial. Driverless cars should not be developed because this technology is in reality unrealistic and can potentially lead to liability issues.
The idea of a driverless car may seem compelling, but driverless cars are not truly driverless as humans must always take some control of the car. For example, in paragraph seven of "Driverless Cars are Coming," the author indicates that BMW's developing driverless car has "special touch sensors" to "make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel." Since the driver is required to keep his or her hands on the steering wheel, this car is not truly driverless as one might think. Though it may perform some functions of driving on its own, a driver must always be there for special cases. The author furthers this idea in the same paragraph by saying that "none of the cars developed so far are completely driverless." As a result, the author, too, indicates that these developing driverless cars still require drivers. Since not even one of these developing projects does not require a driver, the author indicates that truly not requiring a driver is an unrealistic technology. Thus, one of the biggest attractions of driverless cars, the lack of necessity of a driver, is lost. The author later supports this in paragraph eight by asking, "Why would anyone want a driverless car that still needs a driver?" This question suggests that driverless cars still requiring drivers are no longer as attractive. People would no longer want driverless cars as much. As driverless cars are not truly driverless, as their name suggests, they should not be developed. The technology that would fulfill what the name suggests is simply unrealistic. Also, driverless cars require an inefficient change since they require such a large change in how traffic control works.
Driverless cars are such a large step into the future that changing laws to deal with them are inefficient. The author indicates in paragraph nine that "Presently, traffic laws are written with the assumption that they only safe car has a human driver in control at all times" but that "new laws will be needed" with the advent of driverless cars. Since the current laws regarding traffic only deal with cars driven by humans, having to rewrite the laws to deal with cars driven primarily by computers is inefficient. This is such a drastic change in the laws that it would truly take much time and capital to rewrite everything. In a society that revolves around cars driven by humans, this presents an unrealistic change in how traffic is controlled. As a result of the inefficience of changing the entire system, the development of driverless cars should be halted. Furthermore, the new laws may struggle with the liability of accidents, another reason why driverless cars would be a negative innovation.
The widespread use of driverless cars means that the liability of accidents is extremely difficult to determine. Paragraph nine poses the question, "If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault--the driver or the manufacturer?" This indicates that a society with driverless cars may struggle with this issue. When an accident with these cars would occur, it would be difficult to determine whether the owner of the car or the manufacturer should take responsibility for the accident. The car would be the owner's possession, but the accident may also be caused by poor manufacturing or programming. As a result, any decision that poses one party as responsible for the incident may lead to conflicts, as either side might hold a portion of the blame. As a result, it is best to avoid such difficult situations by stopping the development of these cars.
Truly driverless cars are both unlikely and harmful to society. Though the idea of a world in which transport is dominated by autonomous machines is attractive, the advantages are underwhelming and the consequences are harmful. Society must not promote the development of these cars. Placing such high hopes in this risky technology will only disappoint. | 4 |
Are self-driving cars really safe for the future?
Driving has been around for decades. It goes so far back. Now soon there will be no need for driving at all. Car will have to have a mind of their own. They'll need to know how to handle difficult situations. This will cause people to have to be attentive more than ever. I believe self-driving cars will be taken lightly and people will think they don't have to pay as much attention as they would a regular manual car.
what do we really need selfdriving cars for anyways? I don't believe that a elecronic will be able to deal with other driving humans better than another human can. Say someone is driving an manual car and go on a four way stop at the wrong time. The car wouldn't know what to do unless its programed to do so. People may say The cars have sensors so it will be able to stop it's self. What if the sensor is broken? There will need to be way to tell that its broken. There will also be othe asspects of the car the driver will need to keep up with which will make this a high mantance car.
Along with this if there was to be an acident who would be responible? According to the article that is yet to be decided. There are still states that don't allow any driverless cars in their state which means everyone is not on borad with this idea. Its still people who think this idea is not safe. Also in these cars it is alot easier to be distracted. Like the article says some can get bored waiting on their time to drive. The driver can fall asleep, start using there phone, etc. Which could be dangerous for the manual drivers.
There are some positves to this car for some people. These cars could be good for new drivers who don't know how to parrallel park. Teen drivers don't always get everything right the first couple of times so they will ahve their car to assitst them. This car could also accually be safer for mothers with multipule children. It may give her a chance to quickly distribute a bottle or pick up a toy a baby dropped. This also can still be dangerous because the driver won't be attentive.
In conculdion i believe there is no point of taking time to make a driverless car because You will always have to be attentive just like driving a regular car, and if you aren't and get into an accident it may end up being your own fault. The driver would have to be dependent on their car to avoid accidents, construction, wrong turns ,etc. Will you be able to trust you car with your life? | 3 |
Driverless cars, everyone needs a car. So they can transport there selfs to and from where ever they need to go.
Cars should not drive them selfs, even though that would be a good idea most people like me wouldnt go for it. yes it has been proven That less wrecks are caused. But if your like me youd want control over your car no matter what. It could mess up and wreck you into a tree you'd never be able to tell if you were about to wreck because you didnt have control.
Do i think its a good idea ? Yes and no. would I ride in a car that had control over its self ? No.
I think the smarter roads is a way better idea. But there is a down fall to that. It would take way to long to cover the world in "smarter roads." We dont have time to wait. people should just drive responable or don't drive at all!
I also think that they should just make a car or truck that tells you when your going off the road or someting like that maybe it would help prevent wrecks. | 1 |
The author supports the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. He supports this idea by sharing that Venus once has been the most Earth-like planet in the solar system. It expands human knowledge about the planet and enhances technology to be more capable of traveling to Venus.
Long ago, Venus may have been an Earth-like planet. The planet brings danger but this won't stop scientist from disccusing how it may have been a sister planet to Earth. In the text it states " Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth. Today, Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on earth." This indicates that there were very common features about Venus long ago and even now that can relate to earth. The scientist are fascinated by these findings and are willing venture off to Venus and find out more.
Going to Venus is a tough job and can be quite dangerous. So technology is going to need to be upgraded to be able to fit Venus' harsh temperatures and atmosphere. Enhancing technology is whats going to keep people learning and wanting to improve. With these improvements travel to harsher planet will be easier. The text states "Imagine a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape. Just as our jet airplanes travel at a higher altitude to fly over many storms, a vehicle hovering over Venus would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions by staying up and out the way." This indicates technology is being enhanced to be able to withstand the harsh conditions of Venus. Imagination and innovation is being used to expand this knowledge.
Human knowledge is being expanded when preparing and learning about Venus. Its conditions, what it was like long ago, and technology being improved make people learn and be more fascinated about Venus. When visiting Venus, scientist have found that "Venus' atmosphere is made up of almost 97 persent carbon dioxide blankets". That is more knowledge found when going to Venus. Exploring planets besides earth like Venus help people learn about from the dangers they go through to get there which makes it worth it.
As stated in the claim the author does support the idea that studying Venus is a wothy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. By explaining that Venus and earth were once sister planets and today still do share common characteristics. Human knowledge is expanded when visiting the planet and finding its dangers. Then learning how to overcome with enhacing technology. Which leads them to being able to explore the Venus. | 4 |
When limiting car usage the first thing that most everyone thinks of is: "How would I get from Point A to Point B instead of driving myself in my car? Would I walk, ride a bike, take public transportation, or try and find a new creative approach?" Limiting car usage is not the end of the world, it is the beginning of a healthy one. Most cars burn gas which cause smog and pollution which is harmful to the enviorment, some people get lazy and end up being so dependent on a vehicle that they will not even consider walking a few blocks to a friend's house for an afternoon lunch, and our own ancestors have gone without a car for centuries on end. So would it really be that much of a struggle to not use a car any and every where that you go? You do not need to never use your car again, you just need to realize that using your vehicle more than needed is harming not just yourself, but everything and everyone you interact with in life.
In Paris, France a partial driving ban was put into effect just before the 'City of Love and Romance' reached record breaking pollution levels. The ban states that: "On Monday motorists with even-numbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a 22-euro fine($31). The same would apply to odd-numbered plates the following days."("Paris bans driving due to smog", Robert Duffer). However, just because there is a law put into affect does not mean that everyone will abide by it. According to Reuters, an international news agency in London, almost 4,000 drivers were fined and 27 people had their vehicles impounded because of their reaction to the fines. It is a shame that people are so unwilling to follow one rule for one day which would help the planet and reduce the pollution in their city. According to Duffer, Paris ,typically, has more smog than other European capitals. When Duffer's article was published he states, "Last week Paris has 147 micrograms of particulate matter(PM) per cubic meter compared with 114 in Brussels and 79.7 in London, Reuters found." Also, in Paris, diesel fuel is used more than gasoline. Diesel engines take more energy to burn the gas which causes more pollution than just normal gasoline. According to Reuters, France has a tax policy that favors diesel over gasoline. In France, as a whole, 67 percent of vehicles have diesel engines. In the rest of Western Europe, about 53 percent of vehicles have diesel engines. The smog that is in the air from the burning gas of your vehicle ends up in your lungs. Imgine just sitting in front of the exhaust pipe of your car for a few seconds(do not actually attempt this analogy) it is overwhelming and unbearable. It is harmful to your lungs and the rest of your body. That pollution is coming out of thousands and thousands of other cars and is adding up to the air all around you. You breath that air every day, just like your family and friends as well. In Paris, after the partial driving ban, on Monday the smog cleared up enough for the French party to take away the ban on the odd-numbered plates on Tuesday, according to Duffer. If the smog in one of the biggest cities in the world can clear up just a little bit in one day from limiting car usage, imagine how much smog could be prevented if you limit your car usage every day. What if you only used your vehicle when traveling out of town or when you need to transport a large item? You can change your whole enviorment just by deciding to walk or ride the bus to work instead of turning on your vehicle to drive 10 miles down the road.
The law that was put affect in Paris, France does not state that you can never drive your vehicle again, it is just simply asking the citizens to go one day without their vehicle. "But what if I have to go somewhere such as work, school, or anywhere else that I want?" Paris is a large city, that much is understood, because it is a large city there is more than just one way of getting from Point A to Point B. One way is public transportation from the city and/or local businesses, like a bus or tram. According to the BBC public transit was free of charge from Friday to Monday as well. So, if you did not want to spend extra money than you had to that would not be a probolem. If you do not like public transportation, or do not prefer it, you can get out for a bit of exercise and ride a bike or even walk. Getting up or leaving maybe an hour or two early so that you can get to your desired destination on time is not that heavy of a price to pay. Also, you are getting exercise out of it which benefits your health. Walking or even riding a bike to work can benefit you in so many ways. If you see someone familiar walking towards you, you have the opportunity to start up a conversation and catch up with how their life is going. As well as this, if you see a small shop or stand that sparks your interest you have easier access to explore inside. If you were driving/riding in a vehicle then you would have to cross traffic, find a parking spot, make sure you grabbed everything that you need, and make sure that it is locked. If you are taking a stroll through town, you already have your needed things, you do not need to cross traffic and find a parking spot, and you do not have to risk accidentally leaving your vehicle unlocked and end up possibly getting robbed. A study discovered by Elisabeth Rosenthal found out that driving by youth decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009. Maybe this is because young people still have the energy and sense of adventure in them to walk or take a bus somewhere(or they just can not afford it, which in the long run saves them money anyway). Maybe you can learn from the young people that decide to ride a bike or skateboard to work instead of driving a car. Maybe taking public transportation is not as crowded and as much of a hassle as the movies make it seem. Taking public transportation can introduce you to new people with different backgrounds as well. You can meet someone that you might not see as a coworker or a family friend that you have an idea already who they are. Some people are always so busy with every day life that they do not have the time to meet new people and learn new names. With public transportation or deciding to walk instead you have a bigger opportunity to meet someone new. Why not give yourself a healthier lifestyle by walking once a week to work instead of driving? The question still remains, why not?
Limiting your vehicle usage does not limit your options and exposure to the outside world. Having a vehicle is not entirely a bad thing either. Some vehicles are 'eco friendly' and are built so they can help protect the enviorment. Sadly, however, most are not built and designed that way. Driving is so stressful for a person. You have to focus on all of your surroundings, check every blind spot, make sure that all of your fluids are not empty, replacing tires, and so much more. Again, driving is not all bad. Some people enjoy to drive, some say that is relaxes them and gives them time to think because driving is the only 'alone time' that they have. Carlos Arturo Plaza says, "It's a good oppurtunity to take away stress and lower air pollution." The human race has survived countless centuries without motor vehicles, why can we not seem to last just a day? | 5 |
There are many advantages and disadvantages to driverless cars. Overall, more things could go wrong with driverless cars than goes right. Every since the first cars were built, people all over the world have loved drving, owning, and working on cars. It is part of Americans life to own a car. Driverless cars will make us lazy and unrealiable in times when we need to give direction or actually drive. I think driverless cars are inferior because people love cars, millions of jobs revolve around people driving cars, and people would become far too lazy if they didn't have to drive.
First, people all over the world love cars. They love everything about them. They love the freedom they have while driving them and the feeling of independence. People love working on cars and restoring old cars to be like new. If cars suddenly became driverless, all of the things people love about cars would history.
Next, millions of jobs involve people driving. Truck and taxi drivers would lose their job to computers. This would result in even more unemployment and frustration. We would lose control on things that humans could do better. Not to mention bus drivers, how would driverless cars know when to wait on someone running late? Or if someone on the bus forgets to get off? Human drivers can remember and remind the passengers if they forget or are not paying attention.
Finally, people would become lazy knowing that they don't need to drive anymore. People would not memorize routes and get lost without the aid of the driverless car. If the driverless car were to break down, how would the passenger know how to fix it or what to do? Over time the driverless cars would be the only cars available and everyone at the BMV's, taxi companies, bus stations, and trucking, comapnies would lose their jobs to driverless cars.
In conclusion, driverless cars are inferior because people love cars,millions of people's jobs revolve around driving cars, and people would become far too lazy if they didn't have to drive. Driverless cars could cause a lot more problems then people realize. It could cost millions of peole their jobs. Also everyone around the world that loves cars the way they already are would be heartbroken. The automotive industry is a major finacial buff to the US economy and driverless cars could jeprodize it. | 2 |
I think limiting car usage is a great idea for america. Studies show that in Bogota, "the people are generating a revolutionary change." Says Enrique Riera, the major of Asuncion, Paraguay. People are either walking to their destinations or riding their bicycles. Also the less you use your car, means less air pollution everywhere so the Earth is more healthier.
Limiting car usage could also help people's physical and mental health. Walking could lower your stress levels and let you think about the nature that you see instead of thinking about what your mad at. I know this from experience because I get stressed very easilyand walking anywhere helps me calm down. Another thing about limiting car usage is that the car wreck percentage would be lower than it is right now. There would also be less deaths in the world if they limited the usage of cars.
Did you know that there are aproximently 118 miles of bicycle paths only in Bogota? Well there is and acording to Mockus, the city's major, "It's the most of any Latin American city." Also you could use the bicycle paths as walking paths for exercise or just to walk anywhere. People would be in more shape if they limited cars. But the only bad thing about using a car in Vauban, Germany is that you have to pay for the car and a spot to keep it whie only being able to drive it on the main throroughfare, where the tram to downtown Freiburg runs.
In conclution I think it would be a great idea for America to go car-free. | 3 |
Driveless cars are, in many way, pointless to the human species. This article shows both the negative and the positive side of having driverless cars, but what about the things that really matter. Having a driverless car could take a lot of time to function, people would begin to become lazy and not worry about their safety, and to top it all off, the world has bigger problems than needing a driverless car.
Somewhere along the way, almost everything falls apart. Just a normal car alone was diffucult to bulid and a driverless one would be even worse. Think about it, millions and millions of dollaers would go into building one sample model, just to replace one that's already been fail in a driving test. That's a large waste of time and in most cases, if the car turns out to work, it'd cost too much and would only sale with the higher class of the world. A driverless car would be unnesscary if only a certain class of people are using it.
Driverless cars would also cause a insrease in health problems. Most of the world's, Amercians mostly, have a population of majority overweight indivudals. Most of which who can't drive a car. If driverless cars were to be invented and functioning, this would bring an increase to the amount of citizens who don't drive or choose not to drive. Now, undersanding that there are some elderly who can't drive, then the car would be benfitual for them, but as for the others, that's just pure laziness.
Another thing, there are more problems in the world than having driverless cars. Wars, poverty, hunger, and unemployment are just a few. Sure there could be a few good outcomes from having a driverless car, but what would they be? The world needs more that just some machine that can drives itsself. We need someting that's going to help the environment and save people and this car isn't going to do either of those things. | 2 |
There is so many of emotions, and only we know if we want to show them or not. Emotional expressions help us to show how we feel, or we can only pretend them, that is why I am against with the value of using this technology to read students emotional expressions. We have to think if they really want us to know what are they feeling? We all are humans, so we know that sometimes we feel embarresed of something, and we do not want to people know that. Adding to these we have to have our privacity.
Our emotions expressions help us to show how we feel. If we are sad we have a sad face, if angry we have a face that reference that we are angry as on the paragraph number 5 says " for instance, you can probably tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look on her face". So there is no reason to have the Facial Action Coding enables computers to identify human emotions.
Emotions expression can also being prentend them. Every single person has problems, and sometimes we are shy to let them know to other people, so we need our privacity, and we have to pretend that everything is all right, when maybe is not like that. If someone is sad, but he/she wants to look she is happy, so there is nothing to do, because is her/his decision. We have to think in the point of view. We can see on paragraph number 6 says "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becaming confused or bored" what about if the student feels emberresed, if everybody that he is the one who does not understans a topic?
But also the Facial Action Coding System enables computers to identify human emotions can help, but if the person wants to. Because people sometimes does not know how to tell people how they feel. Also it could help in differents ways to different careers. For example the police career, when they interrogate people, they can notice if they are telling the truth or they are just lying.
In conclusion the Facial Action Coding System anables computers to identify human emtions have to be used only in a special case. We have our own emotions, and our unique forms to show how we feel. If we want to be reserved is our desicion, and if we want to show our emotional expressions it is okay as well. Only we decide how to feel, and if we should show our emotions up. We have a right that is call personal privacity, we have to remember that. | 2 |
I agree with the author suggests that studying is Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents becasue first reason it is a good thing to study about a different planet, second in the past nobody know that Venus is a planet, third it might be danger, but it is something that we should be studying about.
First reason it is a good things to study about a different planet because if we all just studying about Earth it will be getting boring, and we won't know anything about the other planet. According to the text " Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size." When I read this quote I was already excited to learn about Venus. As we study something different the more we are become smart.
Secodn reason, in the past nobody know that Venus is a planet because they thought Venus was one of the brightest points of light in the night sky. According to the text " Venus, sometimes called the " Evening Star". They are having thought about Venus like because they haven't never see Venus or study about the Venus. This is the reason why I agree with the author suggest that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents.
Third reason, it might be danger, but it is something that we should be studying because the more we learn something new tge more we are getting smart. According to the text it say " In our solar system, venus is the second planet from our sun". I knew nobody can't go near the sun because we will be already melt if we go near to the sun. The Venus is the second planet from the sun, and it is danger. Even though we can't go up there and look what it is look like because it is danger, but we should at least study about it at school.
In conclusion, I agree with the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the danger it presents because it is a good things to study about a different planet, in the past nobody know that Venus is a planet, it might be danger, but it is something that we should be studying about. These three reason are important because in future we can teach our kids about Venus so that they won't be suprised when they found out that Venus is a planet and it is the second planet from the sun. | 2 |
The author says that exploring Venus would be helpful because It may of had water and life on it long ago. Venus may have been earth-like and has rocky features like mountains and valleys. The author states that human curiosity will lead us to exploring new places. Venus is inhospitable for humans but it is still interesting. Exploring venus would be helpful because humans will be able to figure out what happened there years ago.
Nasa has an idea to send a blimp like vehicle hovering thirty or forty miles above the landscape to study the planet's conditions. Many researchers are thinking of innovations that would allow astronauts to get close on mars. Nasa is looking back at mechanical compuers that were used in the 1800's and 1900's. Nasa will have to figure out how to get on the surface of Venus safely so they can take rock or gas samples. Nasa is thinking of different ways to explore Venus.
Venus's environment is harsh compared to earth's. 97% of venus's atmosphere is carbon dioxide. The clouds are sulfuric acid and the average temperature is over 800 degrees fahrenheit.The atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet. Venus is uninhabitable and will probably always be.
Venus is the closest to earth in density and size. Venus is sometimes the closest in distance too. Venus is often called earth's twin because of some of there similarities on the outside.Scientists wonder if there could have been life before. Venus is the closest to earth in size and could of had life before as well.
The author proves valid points throughout the article. Venus isn't suitable for human life but it may of been in the past and scientists want to know if it held life or not. scientist's curiosity is whats leading them to figure out how to explore Venus safely. Nasa is thinking about trying to send machines to Venus. In conclusion Venus is a planet that's not suitable for human life but scientists wonder if it was before. | 2 |
Why is is beneficial to have limited car usage? This is a question that has several answers varying from personal health, to economic gain, to enviromental gain. Though the car has been the symbol of the modern age, there seem to be few 'down-sides' to limiting the usage of these transportation units.
Cars have given mankind the ability to cross great distances in a short amount of time, allowing face to face communication, fast trade between companies and nations, and acess to medical and personal care otherwise out of reach. However, the car has also caused lack of mobility, cutting back on people's exercise as they no longer have to walk very far to get from point A to point B, the overwhelming responsibility and cost of owning a car has also put a mental strain on people, causing needless stress. Of course there are places to go and things to do that require traveling large distances, and no one could be a expected to walk from New York to L.A., so car usage should not be utterly removed, but rather resricted.
So how do people properly regulate their car usage? Several different governments and cities have debated this, trying different tactics and having varied results. As shown in Elisabeth Rosenthal's essay,
"In German Suburbs, Life Goes On Without Cars"
, we are shown the result of a community where 70% of the people do not own cars, but with no less activity than their counterparts in cities wheighed down by cars. There seem to be several advantages in this city without cars, one being that people seem to be happier. Heidun Walter, a media trainer with two children informed Rosenthal, "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way,", the lack of cars seems to reduce stress, without restricting life.
So perhaps this is not enough reason for some to limit their usage of the car, alright, there are many more reasons why this is beneficail. One that is quite familiar to all is the issue of greenhouse gas emissions. The majority of cars produce greenhouse gas emissions, polluting the enviroment and quickening the death of the planet, Rosenthal's essay "
In German Suburbs, Life Goes On Without Cars,
", we are told clearly that, "Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gass emissions in Europe... and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States. " This may seem like very little, but with the amount of cars in the world, these numbers add up to staggering damage to the enviroment. Robert Duffer wrote an essay telling of these harmful effects in a shocking way: "
Paris bans driving due to smog
". This city had so much pollution that they had to ban the use of cars, "Paris had 147 micrograms of particulate matter (PM) per cubic meter compared with 114 in Brussels and 79.7 in London,". This pollution is not only in France, but across the globe, it is only a matter of time before it destroys the ecosystems on Earth, and cars are one of the biggest contributers to this destruction, coming in second only to power plants.
One Colombian city chose not to wait until such things happened, instead choosing to promote limited car usage in a more peacful manner, as described by Andrew Selsky's essay, "
Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota
". This city of 7 million people started a program that chooses one day a year to bann all car usage with the exception of buses and taxis, fining violators with $25. One main benefit has come out of this: People are more active phisically and therefore have less stress. Selsky's essay can be quoted saying, "- millions of Colombians hiked, biked, skated, or took buses to work during a car-free day yesterday,". The benefits of more physical movement are obvious, but one is not so obvious: It lowers stress. A businessman by the name of Carlos Arturo Plaza said, "It is a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution". If a simple day can cause such drastic changes in the enviroment, peoples health, and lower stress, why not go ahead and do it?
In summary, while cars help us get from point A to point B quickly, and are very useful when traveling over great distance, they also cause great harm. A simple cut back on using cars would allow the air pollution to be reduced drastically, promote physical movement and personal health, and help productivity and creativity by reducing stress. Why would you not wish to live in a world like that? | 4 |
Both Vuaban, Germany and Bogota, Columbia have the right idea...take cars off of the street. While Bogota only bans cars for the length of a full day; Vuaban doesn't ban cars, but the prices are well expensive and there are not many parking spaces in the surburban city. Limited car usage can reduce smog and greenhouse levels, and with the advancement of technology, limited car usage should be inforced.
The smog levels in Paris are absolutely outrageous, "[Last] week Paris had 147 micrograms of particulate matter (PM) per cubic meter compared with 114 in Brussls and 79.7 in London, Reuters found" (Duffer). The smog amounts , according to Duffer, were almost at the level of Beijing, China which is the most polluted place on earth. By enforcing a short driving ban, set for only a day, on even-numbered license plates to clear the heightening amount of gases in the air, the smog levels dropped enough to release the ban set for odd-numbered license plates the next day. This experience proves that limiting car usage can prevent air pollution exponentially.
With the advancement of technolgy, people have no real need to go travel everytime they want to talk to someone, whether it be family or friends. With technology and social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and Facebook Messenger, just a few clicks and we are able to have a connection with them. There is also the option of calling someone, so there is always a way to keep in contact. "... the Internet makes communication possible and allows people to feel more connected without driving to meet friends" (Rosenthal). As Ms. Rosenthal has so clearly stated, why travel and spend money only to say a few words.
By limiting the usage of cars, air pollution will be greatly diminished, and the advancement of technology unlimits us from keeping steady communication. | 2 |
The electoral college is a symbol of mockery and deprivation of our rights. Voting using this system to elect our leaders is proven null and serves to be removed. Implementing the popular vote in society will not only modernize it but give america its full name for democracy. For many years presidency has debated its ability to be renounced from Electoral college votes or the popular vote. The electoral college is a symbol of our rights as a US citizen being swept under our feet. More formally, this needs to be changed so the people of the U.S can have a greater say in our government, and those who run the country. Granting this power, we will not only modernize but become more democratic(Plumer-Paragraph-9).
According to the article " The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best laid defenses of the system are wrong" by Bradford Plumer, Not only do citizens agree with changing our system our own appointees do to. Major figures in politics like Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bob Dole and the U.S Chambe or commerce all agree to the abolishment of electoral college voting privaleges. A poll of over 6/10 voters agree that a direct election should be implemented by the people. This topic can be contreversal though. The best argument that reinstates its purpose says " Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president". So whats the contreversy about we elect them so they elect what we want. The best argument against this is the disaster factor. In the 1960's, segregationists in Louisiana legislature nearly succeeded in replacing democratic electors by electing electors who oppose John F. Kennedy(Plumer-Paragraph-10-11)
There are numerous factors that contribute towards the banishment of the Electoral College. Ranged from the favoritism of big states with big populations hence the higher amount of electoral votes, to the possibility of a tie in electoral votes. The system is unfair and a symbol of non modern democracy. Direct voting offers a chance to citizens of the US the ability to exercise voting and become part of the government in which we follow. If we always lived in this system, improvements must go on as time progresses so we as a nation can improve to become better. Changing our government is just another major step in our progress to becoming the most sucessful nation.
Changing our system so the voters of the US governize america by direct election is a essential change. According to the article "In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the president" numerous stories have been told that the Electoral college is an act of anachronism(Posner-Paragraph-15). If the people of the US work hard to remove this we can modernize society forever and make US a better democracy. If we fail to do so, we risk taking a major step backwards in time causing another seggregation act. We have been deprived of many of our rights for too long throughout history and now we have the ability to change. The electoral college has been a shaded act of seggregation and need to dperived of its rights and shut down at a notice. | 3 |
The use of FACS should not be used to see if children are happy in the class room. The reason being is if a kid is upset about what happen at lunch and doesnt want the teacher to know the teacher shouldn't know. IF the kid wanted the teacher to know the kid would stay after class and tell the teacher the proble. i jiust dont think that there should be that kind of technology inside of a class room.
Now if it was for an expermint to see how you are really feeling then go ahead but only for an expermint. the expermint could be hpw many real emotions can one person feel all at the same time. The computer could tell you all the emotions what percent your feeling them and that how you get your expermint.
A teacher should not do it to anyone who does not want it done to them. That would be the only real problem with having it inside a class room. There could be a public room inside the school for the computer, so kids can go and see what they are feeling before class. That is an option for the school.
The only way i think it is a good idea to have that kind of tecnology inside school is if it has its own room inside the school. That way all the kids that want to use the computer can use it. | 2 |
in my opinion using technology to detect if someone is happy is way to overrated for the subtle classroom. most teacers can tell if someone i shappy or little bit sad or completely sad it doesnt need facial coding to describe how someone is feeling at the oment in the time. Some people coud use it to detect it in other studies as in this case on a painting. but to detect someone emotions you dont need technology to describe what normal humans can detect in a person just by looking at them. i could help in a classroom but not on other students or in real life people. if they were examing emotions like foor a therapy class it could work. they could look at a picture and try to desribe what they think that person is emotions are and what that person is feeling. and then use the facial coding to describe it and ifigure it out and grade the students on how close they scored to the emotions and if they scoreed the right ones and percentages. facial coding could help in classroom but only in certain cases where describing someoens emotions come into play and help them describe what that person is felling.
In conclusion facial coding could work in a classroom as long as the class is learning facial expressions and how to detect people emotions. in other cases no it shouldnt be in a classroom that isnt design for those special classes. | 1 |
The author supports this idea by giving the facts of how dangerous it is but why we should keep trying to study Venus. The author says a lot about the dangers because there are a lot. And says we could find out more about these dangers and how to defeat them. They set out on a mission to simulate the chaos of Venus's surface and it was able to last three weeks.
NASA is working on a lot of different approaches on how to last a while or have a good landing on Venus. The author tells about the things that we could find out if we could be there for a while. They stress a lot in the passage about it being the hottest planet around and it isn't even the closest to the sun. This is a huge thing holding them back the author says and would melt almost all metal. The author supports this by saying that a submarine that goes very deep in the ocean wouldn't even survive on Venus. The author gives a lot of facts and things to support his claims.
If the author has told a fact they have had soemthing to support it. The author says a lot about the things we can't do with Venus and has something to explain why with it. The author had a lot of facts and examples to help him support his and NASA's facts and ideas. I really like that the author will also give statistics because that is a huge way to support a fact or claim. Overall in this whole passage the author supports all ideas. | 2 |
We live in an age of technology where one could not go a single minute without being influenced or even witnessing tech. Going off of that, technology is used more and more in the educational system, with classes using computers and i-pads for everyday acivities. The Facial Action Coding System would be a perfect addition to the educational sytem and could even make a huge impact on average people's everyday lives.
Technology in schools is a wonderful tool, offering millions if not billions of different sources and programs online with the click of a button. When used properly, students can grandly enhance their learning skills with the use of technology. However not every program, resource, or tool works for every single student, which is where the Facial Action Coding System would come in. Using this device, teachers can potentially get feedback on whether student's are enjoying what they are doing, what one could do to make a student's learning experience better, and with this device a teacher could even tell if their class is confused or bored. Since emotional expression are so important in a classroom, a teacher could potentially even modify the lesson plan based off of the overall moof of the class.
This invention is groundbreaking on it's own, and bringing it into the educational system with it's proper use and encorporation, could be of tremendous help to the United States educational system. | 2 |
In the passage, the author does not support the idea well. The formatting of the essay is incorrect. The supporting details are also extremely unrealistic.
In the passage, the author states that the surface temperature is so high, that it can melt a vast amount of metals, therefor it would make sense for humans to not go. Later, they state that scientists are working on a blimp-like vehicle to float thirty miles above Venus's surface. This refutes the the part of the essay in which the author is explaining that scientists would have to go to the surface to collect research samples.
Also, the whole idea of exploring Venus is undermined because floating thirty miles above defeats the purpose of exploring Venus, as the author states the atmosphere makes it difficult to view using photography and videography. This would make reasearch extremely difficult because they will not be able to see the planet's surface.
The author does not sufficiently support their argument. The evidence used is unrealistic. The author continues to make arguments for their side and then refute them. | 2 |
I believe that the new technology which is called the Facial Action Coding System is a good idea that will help value students in a classroom . The Facial Action Coding System can help determine the way you feeling , reliezes that you might need help on a lesson that you are not comprehending very well , also it knows when something is bothering you .
When on a computer the Facial Action Coding System determines the way you feeling when the computer constructed 3-D face model revolves around all fourty four major muscles in a human face . When you show emotion towards the computer and have a movement of one or more muscles it is called a action unit which helps the com puter bring all your emotions together and be able to seperte them into they percentages . For example your frontalis pars lateralis muscle ( above your eyes) raises your eyebrows which means your surprised . Your orbicularis oris ( around your mouth) tightens your lips that shows your angry . There many muscles in a human face that has a variety of different ways to show their emotions .
The new technology can also relieze when something is bothering you . For example when your friend ask " whats wrong ? " and you say nothing your friend dictated that you were lying so his/her mouth would stretch sideways using the zygomatic major and a different muscle , the risorius hich means dont lie . Also it can tell when you are putting on a fake smile and actually hurting inside . The computer is actually showing empathy by feeling someone elses emotional state . Theory of emotion , moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions but also may even help produce them .
When struggling on a lesson on the computer the Facial Action Coding System will notice . However " a classroom computer could relieze when a student is becoming confused or bored , then it will modify the lesson , like an effective human instructor ." The same technology can make computer - animated faces more expressive - fro video games or video surgery . But also on the other note the new technology couldnt be the best idea due to the fact that some people are going through some stuff and school is a way to clear they mind and going on a computer at school with the new technology would remind them .
Many people dont relieze when their closest friends are going through something and the new technology would him .
I stated that Facial Action Coding System helped you determine your feelings , if something or someone is bothering you or if your struggling on a lesson . After reading about the new trchnology it can help you . | 3 |
The Electoral College is a process which consists of selecting the President and Vice President. I'm indefensible about the situation because 60% of people would want to have a direct election unlike the one we have now. In the article is says that "Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president. If you lived in Texas, for instance, and wanted to vote for John Kerry, you would vote for a slate of 34 Democratic electors pledged to Kerry". This means that if you vote for someone then 9/10 you're going to have to vote for more people then you expect. Some voters get all tangled up and confused and vote for the wrong candidate. This debate against the electoral college is a disaster because not everyone would have the same idea about it, there's going to be someone for both sides to argue for. Another quote from the article is "The electoral college is unfair to voters. Because of the winner-take-all system in each state, candidates don't spend time in states they know they have no chance in winning, focusing only on the tight races in the "swing" states." The counterclaim of this article was to pick a side and tell whether the electoral college is a good thing or a bad thing. I was indefensible about the whole situation because it's unfair and irrational, and it pushes more and more people away from voting, I would agree to abolishing the electoral college. | 1 |
venus is consideree as a planet beause it's the second planet on hour solar system bt it have something difference to the other planets on our solar system, venus orbit at a different speed around the sun. we said the venus is the second planet in our solar system so that means it's the closest planet to the sun but sometimes it can be located right at the
corner.
venus has been a difficult planet to humans to study, it's so challenging.
something that makes venus challenging is that a thick atmostphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blanked venus,
in my on opinion it's something good because it can protect animals and other things that live in venus bus i also think it's something bad because it do not let humans to visit and learn about that planet because it could be dangerous for humans because no body knows what can happen to humans if they try to live in other panets like if their were living at the Earth because the atmospheric preasure is 90 times greater than in te Earth, sohumans would'nt survive to the preasure of that atmosphere.
i think that if humans start like experience they may one they visit other planets. | 0 |
Today in this essay, im going to tell you why we should us this on students. The should also use them on not only on the students, This new technology should be used on the teachers and staff as well.
The main reason i believe this should be used in schools, is to see how the students reaction is the they way teachers are teaching them. Think about it. If most of the students are 80 percent bored, 10 percent happy, and 10 percent angry because they aren't learning in a way they should in schools then, it might be time for change. The teachers should expirement with this new age technology. As they try to change there teaching style, they can use the facial reconizion to see if most student like they way he or she is teaching. If this were to be in schools then, the studend could be more like Mona Lisa, 83 percent happy, 9 percent discusted 6 percent ferful and 2 percent angry.
Not only should the students have to use it, the teachers should have to use it as well. Some people might wonder " Why would the teachers have to use it, they aren't the ones learning?" Ill tell you why they should have to us this facial emotion dector. If the teachers are grumpy all the time or, if they aren't happy at there carrer, they need fired. Now tell me this. If the teachers are always mad and hate there job, how do you expect the students to learn if the teacher is mad all the time. They'll just throw a paper at them and tell them to work. With this new equipment, you can use it to see if a teacher is happy. You can see if the teacher can make the class fun so the students will be happy.
In conclusion, I believe that the emothion reader should be in schools. This should be used not only for the students but, for the teachers as well. If the teacher isnt happy the teacher is always mad, the kids will be unhappy and bored in class. The student won't get the quality education that they could've from the start. Thank ypu for taking time out of your day to read my essay and, have a wonderful day. | 2 |
In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author explained many reasons why studying Venus would be helpful and advantageous to us as humans and scientists. Especially since Venus is the planet most like Earth, this would benefit Earth's knowledge at how we could study and explore Venus and grasp the research it would reveal. In Paragraph 8, the aouthor wrote, "Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value..." This quote means that Venus is valuable, yet challenges face the journey.
In Paragrpah 4, the author compared how Venus was like Earth a long time ago. The author described how Venus seemed to possess analogous features to our planet, like valley, mountains, and craters, except the long time frames to Venus are a crucial consideration. " The value of returning to Venus seems indisputable...," though in Paragraph 5 the authour explained how NASA had a possible solution for the problem of traveling safely and Venus's hostile conditions.
NASA introduced an idea of a blimp-like vehicle hovering over Venus; the vehicle would remain floating above Venus's surface to remain away from the storms. Even though Venus has unavoidable dangers, for exmaple, the erupting volcanoes and powerful earthquakes explained in Paragraph 3, we will come prepared for the challenge.
Paragraph 7 states that NASA is working on different approaches as to how to study Venus so far off the ground. Safe in the hovercraft and away from the high pressure and heat and sporadic lightning strikes, scientists discoverd there was no possible way to collect the samples of rock, gas, or any component of Venus without getting out. The scientists sought to conduct a mission to bust the bubble of safety dispute the risks. Simplified electronics made of silicon carbide were tested to have withstood the chaotic surface of Venus for up to three weeks. Mechanical computers would also serve an important role now, just like in the 1940s, by making calculations with gears and levers that do not require electronics at all.
Overall, the point made across by the author of this passage was that even though studying Venus will definitely bring problems and challenges, there are loopholes and many ways to solve the solutions. Science is worth the risks, especially since it is for our planet and can better our understanding, so finding ways around the problem, and even facing them head on are our only solutions better comprehend Venus, and other planets in our solar system as well. | 3 |
So an invention to see exactly how you feel emotionally? Well personally I think this would be a great thing to put in schools. Give us kids more hands on learning. This could detect if a student is bored or confused, making it easier for teachers to teach. With this students could learn so much more, because with this you could tell when a teacher is loosing a students interest and switch up the teaching act to something fun, like a discussion or hands-on learning.
I believe that this should be put in schools all around. It would most defenetitily help the teachers gain and keep the attention span of their students, because they would know their emotions. It would also help with counsillers to get students to talk so they feel better and can be receving more information while they learn vurses holding a grudge against a friend or ect and thinking about that during their class and blocking out the teacher.
Some might think this would be a bad idea because some students are already invested in their learning and are fine with it the way that it is. Well this could detect after a change is made to a classroom that some students still are not happy or new students are not happy, or they are confused with the new teaching methods. So either way it would be a win - win, because the teacher could know some students are confused and are not happy with that particullar teaching method, and this could help the teachers find a way to keep all kids on board, so their not confused or at least as much as they were before.
So as a conclusion I think this would be a huge benefit to schools and help with the recemindations of schools. this would also be a great help because, more students will graduate because they are now paying attention in their classes. | 3 |
Many places such as Vauban, Germany have given up the usage of cars. Vauban is a gworing trend in europe and the United Sates because of the postive effects of not using cars. One of the biggest examples is polution, also the removal of cars would ultimatley lead to a finacial increase in our economy, lastly making this change positivley effects our future.
First I would like to talk about a huge problem we face as a society today and that is green house gasses. You may not think that these are a big deal put if left unchecked they caan become a huge problem. Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emisions in europe, and up to 50 percent in car-intensive areas. This can become a huge problem ranging from acid rain to climate change. An example of what polution can do to a city is in paris they are putting a partial ban on cars because of how how bad there polution is. There was a huge smog problem because green house gasses were being trapped because of hot days and cold nights.
Also this change can have amazing effects on that areas economy. Because there will be no cars people will take the bus witch is less than payinf for gas or they can walk to closer places. Also gas prices would decrease for other forms of tranpertation because there wouldnt be cars demanding the fuel. family could sell there cars and spend the money they were using to fund there car other thing witch will lead to the people being happier. Also the removal of cars will lead to teh creation of jobd because they will need people to operate public transportation.
Lastly the removal of cars will have a postive effect on the future of our world. With the track were on now the world is estimated to heat up and have negative consequences on our society. these climate changes may seem small but they can have drastic effects. in china there is a lake that is so polluted you set the top of it on fire because there is so much polutants on it. also this chang has coralation with peoples happiness. Were already started down the path of less cars, recent studies suggest that americans are buying fewer cars, driving less adn getting fewer licenses as each year goes by.
For the following benifits is why we should stop using cars and continue with the idea of using public tranportation and walking. Cars creat polution, its better for our economy to stop the use of cars and this will poitivley effect out furute. Also one last reason for why the beifits outweigh the harms is that we have started the removal of cars all it has shown is positive effects | 3 |
The use of Facial Action Coding System is useful and valuable to read the emotional expressions of students because it will benefit and help teachers in classrooms understand what the student is truly feeling and what is going on in their mind.
This technology system will be "able to detect exactly how other people are feeling even when they are trying to hide their emotions." Many students in class have anxiety of speaking infront of many people, fear of being wrong, and not asking questions when they don't know what is going on. They will know when and how to help students through the help of the system.
Another reason why Facial Action Coding System will improve classroom environments and the learning skills of all the students is the system will let teachers know when the student is angry because when the "orbicularis oris (around your mouth) tightens you lips to show anger."(3)
If a student is angry, the system will detect it and the teachers will know as well. Anger can indicate many things in a student. Something may not be okay at home or in their family. The student may have too much going on in their life. When this happens, students tend to hide their emotions and not ask for help, when in reality they do. The system would automatically give intail on the emotion to the teacher so they can offer help, guidance and support to the student and let them know that a teacher is there for them.
Students would not learn anything if they are too distracted or too tired. If there is a technology to read students' emotional expressions, it would benefit teachers because the system will notice the emotions they might be feeling like "happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear and saddness..." (3). If the teacher knows what the students true feelings are, for example boredom, This Facial Action Coding System would help teachers know "...when a student is becoming confused or bored... then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor."(6)
The use of Facial Action Coding System is valuable because it helps teachers understand the feelings of their students and help their students based on their feelings. This system will improve the learning environment and decrease the levels of stress and anxiety will the help of teachers. | 3 |
The use of Facial Action Coding Systems mis a new recent peice of technology that is used to read human emmotion through facial expressions. In this essay I will be telling you why i beleve this is wrong and give you evidence and the downfalls this tech coulkd have.
Peoples emotionms are practically personal buisness of the person who is feeling that way it shouldnt be anyone elses buisness what he or she is feeling. It would also cost alot of money to aforrd the tech that has been built to run the algorithims "Your home PC cant handle the complex algorithims". That excerpt from the last pragraph in the artical tells me this must be very costly to use in a classroom enviorment. One down fall if this new tech also is "The facial expressions for each emotion are universal" this c ould cause problems with being able to trust computer programming to tell us the emptions of anyone because everyone looks diffrent and has diffrent facial expressions for certain emotions or what if some crys when they laugh or laughs when they are frustrated.
So in conclusion this technology can be very costly and may have a chance of ebing somewhat inaccurate and can be an ivasion of someone personal privacy. Hoipefully i opened some new doors to you and hekped you see this technolofy in a diffrent way than before. | 2 |
You have to participate in the Seagoing Cowboys program. It will open the world up to you. The program is really fun, and could help you with some of your problems. It really helped me in life. You get to see cool things. You can relax. Then sometimes there a lot of work involved. Anyone could be interested if they tried.
The article says there is a lot of war like things involved as well. It gets pretty dirty and rough to be a seagoing cowboy. I would suggest doing because it gives you oppertunities, and soemtimes it can be fun. You can't be weak and not willing to do work though. There is a lot of training to go through and it is not easy. So if your a hard working worker this is the place for you to be.
Then there are some severe injuries or even worse. You got to be tough though. I have a good time though. Beside the work, but sometimes it can be fun. You have company as well to cheer you up when your down. Some work you have to do is cleaning, feeding the animals, or even pulling or pushing heavy objects. Like in the article it said the animals have to be fed or watered two or three times a day.
Yet all the work there is fun. Like seeing all of the awesome landscapes or cities. If you feel down this will bring you up. Watching the sun set. Being with workers that are kind. There is more and more. It is just what kind of person you are. If you are a hard worker and like to see cool things. This is the place for you. It is really fun if you can see how it is fun to help people and animals. L hope this inspires you to be a seagoing cowboy. The program is great. | 1 |
I think driveless cars can be they future of automobiles. But until we can fully control the car its not worth it.
Driveless cars are only useful in certain ways like its good for public transportation and taxis. But does a average middle class citizen need a driveless car....... not really if you have been driving your whole life odds are your not gonna want or need this expensive technology.
I think its dumb to create drivless cars yea it can stop the texting and driving deaths and drunk driving deaths but they should'nt be doing it anyway. The only way drivless cars are useful is buses and taxis but even then your taking away jobs of hard working people. We do not even know how much these so called smart vehicles are gonna cost if its really expensive then its not gonna be used by the middle class people and thats mainly america . Most people dont have 100,000 dollars to spend on a vehicle.
Another thing is that computers have flaws and if theres one mistake that can mean a persons safety at risk. I think they should keep working uncovering new technology and in maybe 10 years from now they make these vehicles avalible to the public. The smart road is effective but it is very expensive. New laws need to be made for these driveless cars like in a school zone you have to drive. but what about all the people that love driving are these driveless cars gonna be in the way of normal cars?. But what if the driver falls asleep while the car drives and he doesnt see the lights and gets in a car accident.
I think if the car fails and someone gets hurt i think its the manufacturer that should be at fault because how are you gonna call a car a driveless car and not be truly drivless. I think if they want this to succeed they need to make this technology drive like a human. I think this is a great concept but i do not think it will succeed. | 2 |
A life without cars sure sounds like a great idea for saving up less pollution and have less traffic jams, right? Well, that's a true fact, facing the reality that over the past few years we've had times and times again where we've polluted our own air over the repetetive over use of cars, specially because now-a-days there's way more cars being sold from car dealerships like Ford, Mercedes, Chevrolette, and etc. On the contrary, there's now been a few areas and cities in a few countries where there's been a shortage of using cars or none used at all. A life without cars can indeed help out so much more in many various occasions and issues like pollution, smog, and traffic.
Car-free cities are the best ways to improve in somewhat of a way for easier transportation and reduced air pollution. For example, as said from source 1, "In German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars" by Elisabeth Rosenthal, on the first paragraph, "VAUBAN, Germany-Residents of this upscale community are suburban pioneers, going where few soccer moms or commuting executives have ever gone before: they have given up on cars." explains how this residence from the few in Germany have made it possible to be car-free. To add more, the author, Rosenthal, from this passage also explains that Vauban contains 5,500 residents making it the most advanced experiment in low-car suburban life, in lines 4-7, pargraph 6. The main idea of this is that it's best to keeps cities, or even better whole countries car-free or low ratings of cars being used to help stop such as pollution and traffic jams.
Just like Vauban, Germany is car-free some other countries do their best as well to keep their cities and border safe from the damages and difficulties cars cause. As an example of this, source 2, "Paris bans driving due to smog" by Robert Duffer, explains in paragraph 10, "After days of near-record pollution, Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city." As this clearly states, Paris has as well moved towards a much closer car-free city itself. Reason for this partial driving ban is because of smog caused by the pollution of cars, this explained on paragraph 17 on source 2 as the author, Duffer, says, "Paris typically has more smog than other European capitals... [last] week Paris had 147 micrograms of particulate matter (PM) per cubic meter compared with 114 in Brussels and 79.7 in London, Reuters found." In comparison, soruce 3, "Car-Free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota" by Andrew Selsky, explains how Bogota, Colombia in has a car-free day for devoiding traffic jams. As a few perks that were gained from this car-free day, in pargraph 28, said are: "Parks and sports centers also have bloomed throughout the city; uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks; and new restaurants and upscale shopping districts have cropped up." | 3 |
I believe this could be valuable in classrooms because now in days students use a lot of computers for work. The possiblities this could open up are huge, like making learning more fun for each student and making them enjoy learning. It could also take away advantages and give each student an equal oppertunity to learn and succed.
Lets face the fact, teachers can't make learning fun for every student. But this computer software can. It can use the information about whether your bored or not as stated in the article "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored, Dr. Huang predicts. Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." This could adjust to a students particuler need and make learning more effective and fun for students. By molding to each students particuler way of learning and interests, it could make learning easy.
How this could make learning more fun exactly is it can read your emotion and change how it approaches teaching you, untill it finds your not as confused or bored as stated in the article "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." Eventually it could make it to where each student is enjoying how it is teaching them and they can become more interested and interactive with there learning and studing. If every student had this they could all enjoy learning and studing and it could give each student equal oppertunities to learn and be as smart as possible, one day maybe ending people not graduating.
In conclusion if we had this in school today we would see a giant difference in the amount of students at school and the test scores would blow our current scores out of the water. Why, simply because it would make learning fun for every student not just a handfull, it could make things fair for each student and making learning less a chore rather a hobby. | 3 |
The author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit depite the dangers it presents, because no spacecraft has survied landing for more than a few hpurs sice it too hot for the spacraft. Venus is not really close to the sun ans still have extreme heat but its closer to the Earth which often referred to as the Earth's "twin." It's more challenging because in Paragraph 3 its says," 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." the conditions are too extreme for a human for a human to set foot on Venus.
NASA is sending humans to study Venus to figure out what kinds of material they need to send a spacecraft to Venus and explore it. In Paragraph 5 its says, "NASA's possible soultion to hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray." Venus has almost 97 percent of carbon dioxide which is not good for human, so they would need much more material for the human to survive with all that carbon dioxide. Scientists are seeking to condut a through mission to understand Venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risk (Paragraph 6).
NASA is working on studying more about Venus, but it's still risky for humans and spacecraft. NASA is now testing simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested on Venus's surface and has lasted about 3 weeks in such condition. In such heat the material should be liquefy because of extreme heat. It won't be easy but NASA is trying to make it survivalbe for humans.
The author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents is that, NASA trying their hardest to explore Venus and needs material to study about it. NASA is using many matrial to have a spacecraft land on Venus and stays for a long time and not melt. | 2 |
People who like to go places should be a Seagoing Cowboy because you get to explore things you probably never seen before. Another thing is you get to take care of horses, young cows, and mule that were shipped overseas. You also get to help peope if you like helping people with some type of problem.
If you ever want to go to China or Europe you have a chance to if you are a Seagoing Cowboy.
Plus you can also have time to have fun on board, especially on return trips after the animals have been loaded. The cowboy played baseball and volleyball games in empty holds where animals had been housed.
In 1945 it was World War ll over in Europe, and many countries were left to ruins and to help these countries recover their food supplies, animals, and more, 44 nations joined together to for UNRRA. then the UNRRA hired "Seagoing Cowboys" to take care of the animals that were shipped over sea.
Being a Seagoing Cowboy can change you life for eternal. It can also open up the world for you and make you feel grateful for opertunities like that. I would recomend being a Seagoing Cowboy because it can make you feel good for being helpful in life and one day you won't regret it. | 2 |
The Facial Action Coding System (FACS) enables computers to identify human emotions. This may or may not help students feel better or help them at all in school. But i think it could be helpful although it could be a little distracting.
I think the FACS could be helpful in a clasroom. Not only because it could help them with their emotions but because it could help better education. Students can teachers can use the coding system to know what the student think about the lesson they are teaching. Wether it is fun or not, teachers can figure out what they are doing wrong. This could help better education because teachers can use it to make the lesson more entertaing so students would actually pay attention. The text mentions that, "a classroom coputer could recognize when a student is becomig confused or bored." This means that using the coding system students may be more interested in learing. This also means that when knowing when the students are confused, and sicne some students may be afraid to ask for help, teachers now know when to jump in and help a student.
The coding system may also help in the fact that it could make students and/or teachers happy. The author gives the reader an experiment to try, which is similar to what the coding system does. After the experiment he then asked, "by the way, did making a happy face in this experiment also make you feel slightly happy?" He then provided information about how just using the coding system could make you happy. This could help students be happy while in school, have them better focused. I think that being happy can change the way on how you view things. When you are happy and someone asks you a question you'll probly answer nicley. But when you are sad or angry the chances of you answering the same way are very low. The FACS could help with that by changing the way you feel. "Moving your facial muscels not only expresses emotions, but also may even help produce them." This is why I think, it making you happy students can be more involved in the classroom and in learning. Having the teachers happy could also mean they can teach better and in a nice way, helping more and more students. I can now conclude that with the FACS making students happy, it can help them in the classroom.
In conclusion, I think the FACS could help studetns in their classroom, having them happy and ready to learn. Because having the students and techers happy they can learn more and they can learn better. | 2 |
Venus is often referred to as "Earth's twin". It is the most relatable planet in our solar system to earth. It is around the same size and has almost the same density. Venus has the hottest surface of any planet in the solar system which makes it hard for the people at NASA to study it. Many years ago venus wasn't extremly hot and had many oceans which could of allowed more life to live there.
Over a decade ago NASA sent a a rocket to venus. After it being to on and them only being able to be there for a few hours they came back. NASA haven't tried to send anything thing else up to venus because they would only be able to be there for a couple hours. The surface is so hot they might not even be able to be there for that long.
NASA is thinking about sending a rocket to venus which then they would have a vehichle flow above the planet to try to study more about it. They would be around 30 miles above venus studying to micrscopes or othe devices which let them see the planet easier. With them being 30 miles above the surfave it would still be extremly hot at 170 degrees Fahrenheit.
NASA is also trying to find other way to study venus. For example they are making electronics made of silicon carbide and test them to see if it can hangle the heat and other challenges it might face. In the article the author explains that the electronics they need to study venus would be nothing like the computers people use here on earth. Studying venus is really hard and figuring out the right way to do it is the hardest part.
In conclusion we are trying to figure out how to study venus. We are coming up with multiple options that have to be perfect before we try. The author of the article gives many examples after every statment. He also gives facts which makes the reads believe what he is saying. For everything he says he has an explanation for. | 2 |
Limiting car usage can prevent accidents and deaths by cars. Experts say passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent ofgreenhouse gas emissions in Europe and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas like the United States. If people took their bike or walked to their destination it could help people lose weight and be healthy.
Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France, after five-days of intensifiying smog. Beijing, China is known as one of the most polluted cities in the world. Last week Paris had 147 micrograms of particulate matter (PM) per cubic meter compared with 114 in Brussels and 79.7 in London, Reuters found.
Car-free day became a big hit in Bogota, Colombia. The day without cars is part of an improvement campaign that began in Bogota in the mid-1990s. It has seen the construction of 118 miles of bicycle paths, the most of any Latin america city, according to Mockus, the city's mayor.
Cars should be cut down in use in many other country's espically in places like the U.S where cars are used all the time. Experts say America's love affair with vechicles seems to be cooling. Miles driven in the U.S peaked in 2005 and has been dropping since according to Doug Short of Advisor Perspectives. As of April 2013, the number of miles driven per person was nearly 9 percent below the peak and equal to where the country was in January 1995.
There are the many reasons and what places are doing to reduces the usage of cars. | 1 |
"Less Cars"
"Vrroooom Vroooom," that is all that people hear when they step outside in the city along with honks and angry people, and police chasing people speeding. What if that was not what you had to hear all the time? What if that sounds would only be heard once every few hours or days? Thus can be a reality with limitation of car usage; people would be happier, there would be less smog in the sky, the global health would go up.
With less cars comes less trouble. in Andrew Selsky's artical "Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota," he states " millions of Colombians Hiked, biked, skated or took the bus to work tduring car-free day" this caused the "streets of this capital city eerily devoid of traffic jams." Because of the car-free day there were less people on the road, less traffic, and less stress about getting to work. When there is no one driving and almost everyone is taking bikes or walking, it seems like it would make small sidewalks congested; it does not, because, as Andrew Selsky says, "throughout the city; uneven, pitted sidewalks have been replaced by broad, smooth sidewalks..." This helps make transit even easier and less hectic. In Elisabeth Rosanthal's artical, "In German Suburb, Life Gose On Without Cars," she asked someone in a car-less community how they felt about not having a car, she said "'When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way.'" People are happier without cars and without the stress that comes with them. Having less cars would also make places less polluted.
With less cars there would be less pollution in the air and less greenhouse gases that we would emit as a society. In Robert Duffer's artical, "Paris bans driving due to smog," he states that " after days of near-record pollution" in Paris the city officials "enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air opf the globay city. In Paris action was only taken when the smog made carrying out their day difficult, instead of before it got to that point. Some might say that if the imediate threat had not been there none of the citizens would have lisened to the ban; but they might listen to the banning of cars now that they see how bad it can get. In Bogota, Andrew Selsky states that "the goal [of the Day Without Cars] is to promote alternitive transportation and reduce smog." This helps the enviroment and the people living there, especially those with asthma; and those with heart disease can develop better exercise habits.
With less cars means more walking and less greenhouse gases. Many of the people that do not choose to ride the bus or a taxi, as Andrew Selsky says, "hiked, biked" or "skated. This means that these people were exercising and getting fit, even if it was just one day. Imagine if it was not just one day though; what if car-free day was car-free week, or month. This would decrease obesity in children and adults, along with lowering the hisk for heart contitions. Car-free weeks or months would make the enviroment better but also make it better for people with asthma. Less smog would mean people with asthma would be able to breathe easier in places like New York. Improving the health of people on a global scale.
Limiting car usage would be an amazing thing if it was on a global scale. Car-free days once every year are a great start to improving the planet. Car limitation would mean happier people, less pollution in the sky, and an improved standard of living. Less cars equal a better planet for every one. | 3 |
We should abolish the Electoral College and change the election to popular vote for the president of the United States. The Electoral College is corupt compared to popular vote. They're more cons than pros about the Electoral College. A lot of people agree that we should change our voting to popular vote. Electoral College voting should not be the way we vote for something so important.
The Electoral College System is wrong. In source two, Bradford Plumer said that "under the Electoral College system, voters vote not for the president, but for a state of electors, who in turn elect the president". You have no clue who your voting in with the Electoral College system. Plumer also said "they can be anyone not holding public office" and "electors could always defy the will of the people". Do you really want someone who you dont know and can't trust to be an elector? If you wanted someone like that you might as well let a child do the job. In source one the Office of the Federal Register said "when you vote for your canadidate you are actually voting for your candidates elector's". More than one source said that you vote in electors when voting for a your candidate.
The Electoral College system is said to be unfair to voters in source two. The Electoral College system has a "winner-take-all" system. Which means if a Democrat candidate wins they will have Democrat electors and if a Republican wins the will have Republican electors. In source one the Office of the Federal Register also said that the "winner-take-all" system "awards all electors to the winning presidential candidate". This is not fair to the voters or the United States. If a tie happened it would be even more unfair to voters. if a tie did happen the House of Representatives would break it. In source two Plumer said "the House's selection can hardly be expected to reflect the will of the people. If the voting doesnt even show your will why vote? Plumer also said in source two that "the Electoral College is unfair, outdated, and irrational". I agree with plumer, the Electaral College needs to go.
Even though the Electoral College has a lot more cons than pros they have some pros. In source three Posner give you the "five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President". Posner said the first reason was "certainty of outcome". The second reason is "the Electoral College requires a presidential candidate to have trans-regional appeal". the third and fourth reason is "swing states" and "big states". the fifth reason is the Electoral College system can "avoid run-off elections". These are all pros of keeping the Electroral College, but are they really worth it? Would you rather have these pros compared to having fairness?
We should abolish the Electoral College and change the election to popular vote for the president of the United States. Popular voting is alot better for everyone. The pros of popular voting excedes the pros of the Electoral College. Popular voting gives everyone a fair chance and doesnt just have a "winner-take-all" system. it actually gives both political parties a chance. I agree with source two when it said "Abolish the Electoral College!". Source two was right we need to put an end to the Electoral College system! | 3 |
While humanity is doing just fine with how we use cars now,driverless cars are apart of our not too distant future. Personally,I'm neutral in this argument but if this new way of using our vehicles advances our humanity I'm all for it. People these days are reckless when it comes to driving and so maybe a car that does the driving will in a way stop all the accidents and reckless driving. Driverless cars could reduce hit and runs but drivers are still needed in certain situations. What's the point of driverless cars if there's still a need for a driver.
Driverless cars would use half the fuel of today's taxis and offer better transportation than a bus. These cars could possibly change the world and advance technology. These driverless cars are helpful but need a lot of sensors,a GPS receiver,and laser beams to form a constant update of the 3-D model of the car's surroundings. Sensors are needed for these unique cars because they advance the car to mimic the skill of humans at the wheel and respond to the danger or something out of control. These sensors give the car info or a warning to cause the car to apply brakes and reduce power from the engine. The sensors give the special car better responses and more control than a human driver could manage alone.
These advanced cars are amazing but are exspensive and a bit of a risk. None of the cars are completely driverless. These cars can steer,accelerate,and brake,but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills. So like navigating through work zones or around accidents. The driver must stay alert and ready to take over when the time comes. This is what I mean when I say what's the point of driverless cars if we're still basically driving the car. I do like how Gm has developed the driver's seat to vibrate when the car is in danger of backing into an object because of my personal experience with backing my first car into a fire hydrent.
To conclude,Manufacturers are considering adding cameras to most of the cars so the drivers are remaining focused ont eh road. While the driver watches the road,the car watches the driver. Humanity needs to experience new things and give this new way of driving a try. Driving laws focus more on safety. Traffic laws state that the only safe car there is has a human driver in control at all times. These driverless cars need to be proven safe and reliable. Humanity needs to consider that if an accident occurs who is at fault the driver or the manufacturer of the technology. The future is looking very bright,the best has yet to come. Humanity is growing and advancing more and more everyday. | 2 |
You now that in the paint of the Mona LIsa she is" 83 percent happy, 9 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry", (D'Alto 1). How we know that because a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System this technology can read your face and tell how you feeling. This new technology is valuable because this is a better way in which humans and computers can release, also the doctor who do this study the emotions and expressions before do this technology and because people communicate more in facial expressions than in words.
The facial Action Coding System is a relationship between humans and computers "Nicu Sebe of the University of Amsterdam Dr. Huang and his colleague are experts at developing better ways for humans and computers to communicate, (D'Alto 1). This show how this invent help humans and computers to communicate and understand better. This is important because show how in this time when everything is technology is important that we understand better with the technology and technology understand us better too so this new invent help a lot in the communication between humands and computers.
This new invent is valuable because the creator of this before doing this technology study the emotions and the facial expressions "Then Dr. Huang relies on the work of psychologists, such as Dr. Paul (creator of facial action coding system). Eckman has classified six basic emotions- happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear and sadness- and then associated each with characteristics movements of the facial muscles," (D'Alto 1). This show how this new technology its valuable. The inventor of this with a psychologist study the emotions and then the movements of the facial muscles. This is important because we can conclude that the emotions and the expression in the Facial Action Coding System are real like the humans expressions and emotions.
Also people communicate more in facial expressions than in word "Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication Dr. Huang, " (D'Alto 1). This mean most humans communicate with expressions and not word. Its more easy for humans make a facial movement that express his emotion that tell someone how he feel. This is important because show how this invent understand better the humans and not neccesary with word, this understand humans with only his expression.
In conclusion we can see how this new technology is valuable. We can conclude that the Facial Action Coding System is a better way in the communication between humans and computers. Is important because at this time everything is technology. Also we can conclude that the inventor study emotions and facial expressions before do the invent. We can infer that the emotions and expression are fact like that the humans do and fell. Humans also communicate more with expression than word so this is very good manner to communicate between humans and computers. | 2 |
Many countries are pushing towards less cars, ultimatelycreating a better world. By limiting car usage, drivers all around the world can limit greenhouse gas emissions that cause air pollution, take away some of the stress on young and old drivers concerning money and confidence at the wheel, and make cities become healthier, along with the people in them.
Stated in source 1:In German Suburb, Life Goes on Without Cars, passenger cars in Europe create 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions and up to about 50 percent in the United States. These cars, primarily owned by the middle class, create an enormous amount of pollution. Paris had to ban half the cars from driving for a whole day because of the thick layer of smog that had developed (Source 2:Paris bans driving due to smog). In fact there was almost as much smog as Beijing, which is known for being a very polluted city. In Bogota, the capital of Colombia, businessman Carlos Arturo Plaza believes a car-free day is a good oportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution(Source 3:Car-free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota). In Source 4:The End of Car Culture, sociologist relay that transportation is the second largest source of America's emission.
Less cars would lower stress levels for all ages. In source 1, paragraph 3, a mother of two and media trainer, shares that with a car she was much tense. Now that she lives in a town where there are not as many cars, she is much happier. Paragraph 32, in source 4 shows why many Americans have stopped getting cars. Some are not in an economic position to buy them, so they use alternatives like biking and carpooling which are just as effective. In paragraph 35 of the same source, a sociology professor named Mimi Sheller informs that people can use the Internet to get many things instead of driving to a store. This factor also relieves stress on those not confident with their driving ability or unable to drive.
Not using cars as much has led to cities growing and becoming closer at the same time. In the city of Vauban, Germany, stores are placed closer so walking is quicker and healthier than taking an automobile (Paragrph 6, Source 1). Bogota has constructed 118 miles of bicycle paths in response to the positive feedback of car-free days there(Source 3, paragraph 27). The next paragraph shows how recreational settings have received a lot of business and the city has created new buildings. Paragraph 35 from source 4 tells how more desireable cities have brought more people in, creating a smaller need for cars to drive from suburb to city, and then back to the suburbs again. Bill Ford, the executive chairman for Ford, informs that all transportation methods save time, conserve resources, and lower emissions, in turn improving safety(Paragraph 43, Source 4).
In conclusion, limiting car usage will impact the globe very positively. Less gas emissions will create a healthier world. Less stress on people will propel production in work and other fields and more urbanized cities allows people to interact with each other even greater than in other settings. | 4 |
Do you want to be limited on when you can use your car? No, i didnt think so and neither do i so i don't agree to this. But residents of the upscale community are suburban pioneers, going where few soccer moms or commuting executives have ever gone before, they have given up there cars. It's crazy strret parking , dirveways amd home garages are forbidden on the outskirts of Freiburg, near French and Swiss borders. They say that they are much happier without a car but they really cant be they cant go on family trips or get abunch of groceries at the store without having to carry all of them its dumb why would you want to be doing that it actaully puts more stress on you then anything else so they can get over thereselves and get a freaking car cause you know they aint happy they are just lieing. they want to call it smart planning but its really not even close to ebing smart i think its the stupidest thing ive ever heard not having a car gives you less stress what if you wake up late for work one morning your going to have to walk what if its raining outside your going to get wet what if its cold outisde or ebtter yet snowing thats going to suyck because you dont have a heater you have to walk and then your going to be stressed yeah you dont have to worry about it breaking down or gas money and stuff but still its just not right to tell people its less stress. Everything has been developed to the cars the way around, so why change it now we already took down trees moved everything and are already used to all the cars and everything why change whats not broke? Yah i get that we are polluting everything and anything but we've already ruined everything why stop now. Like come on. They blame it all on deisel fuel when it really isnt the problem the problem is all the manufacturing and crap that they are doing in all of these factories and stuff. Also they state again how its a good way to take away stress and lower air pollution we have already polluted it give me a break im so tired of this boohoo crap. President Obama is an idiot hes trying to fix whats been broken and he cant fix the pollution what he can fix is all these lunch rukles because there is no reason why i can't eat candy at school get gatorades get chips his wife can be healthy all she wants but that doesnt need to include us. REcent study shows that less americans are buying cras and you know why because all amerucans pretty much have a car or are broke or homeless. With all these changes people who stopped car commuting as a result of recession may find less reason to resume habit. Then the3y are wanting to try to change the age again but i dont think that there are any advantages to limiting our car use ability. | 1 |
The Challenge of Exploring Venus
Venus is a worthy pursuit to study because scientists can find a way to develop life on Venus. Also, despite the risks, it can be a good way to find out more about Venus and what's happening on there exactly.
Venus is capable of having life and people if researchers is willing to study for as long as they can. Even though Venus weathers are very dangerous and can cause severe harm, technology can be invented so astroanuts won't get killed by it. In the passage, it talks about mechanical parts is being made to be more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces.
It can be a great opportunity for Nasa scientists to study Venus atmosphere and air temputures so it can be safe for them to travel there. Also, an advantage of going to there is that it is close to the Earth and the sun. This can be heavily explain in the article by mentioning that Venus can be sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit. Nasa has believed that they have found a possible solution to hostile conditions on the stray. This evidnece is further explained by allowing scientists to float above the fray so they can not get hurt by the it.
Venus is not a lot different from Earth. For example, Venus still has some features that are analogus to those on Earth. In the passage it says that the planet has a surface of rocky sediments that Earth has in many ways. Venus has valleys,mountains,and craters that scientists have found on the planet a while ago. This specific pargaroh can tell readers that scientists have a lot of exploring and studying to do for some time.
I have explain my three reasons on why Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. Researchers can still foind a way to help scientists study Venus without getting hurt by the intense weathers. All the people needs is time and money in order study the planet and pay for the equipment to better handle them selfles in that dangerous environment. | 2 |
The "face" is just another natural landform, no matter how weirdly shaped. Odd-shaped landforms can be made through wind erosion. Wind erosion can occur on any landform, and the outcome can be any shape. If it was not eroded, the planet could just have a landform different from what we have on Earth. Just because there is an oddly shaped landform on another planet does not mean that it was alien-made.
Much about Mars is undiscovered. This can mean that there are odd landforms which have not yet been discovered. Some of these landforms have the possibility of being shaped like a face or the sillouhette of one. The indentations of the "faces" can also be craters from meteors hitting the landforms. Because much is undiscovered, we must not jump to conclusions.
Natural landforms can take many shapes. They can range anywhere from cone-shaped to face-shaped. Just because it resembles a face does not mean it is alien-made. However, it could have been eroded to look similar to one. Many things are capable of making face-shaped landforms, not just aliens, which we are not yet sure even exist. | 2 |
In my opinion, driverless cars are going to be a positive thing for people. The driverless cars have been improving throughout the years,they will be more safe, and they will make us more alert when driving.
Driverles cars have been on the road to progress for a number of years. They have been upgraded to figure out what does and doesn't work. For example, in the text it says, " For example, in the late 1950's, General Motors created a concept car that could run on a special test track. The track was embedded with an electrical cable that sent radio signals to a receiver on the front end of the car." It also says, " These smart- road systems worked surprisingly weel, but they required massive upgrades to exisiting roads, something that was simply too expensive to be practical." This evidence shows that the driverless cars have been tested and improved throughout the years.
Another reason why I think driverless cars are a good thing is because of safety. These driverless cars have sensors that help the car and the human be in control of it. In the text it says, " The information from the sensors can cause the car to apply brakes on individual wheels and reduce power from the engine, allowing far better response and control than a human driver could manage alone." This evidence shows that these sensors can help the human driver drive more safe. Another piece of evidence is that in the text it says, " The google car simply announces when the driver should be prepared to take over. Other options under the consideration are flashing lights on the windshield and other heads-up displays. Manufacturers are also considering using cameras to watch that drivers are remaining focused on the road. While the driver watches the road, the car watches the driver." This evidence shows that the more they are working on driverless cars, the more ways they are finding ways to make them more safe.
My last reason to why driverless cars are better than others are because they make the drivers more alert when driving. In the text it talks about how the driverless cars will not be completely driverless because there is still human control needed. In the text it says, " but the special touch sensors make sure the driver keeps a hold of the wheel." Also it says, " They can steer, accelerate and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents. This means the human driver must remain alert and be ready to take over when the situations requires." This evidence shows that the driver must be alert and focused, not slacking off and not paying attention.
In conclusion I think driverless cars are going to be a positive thing for people because they have been improving them over the years, they will be more safe, and they will help us become more alert when driving. | 4 |
To start off, changing to election by popular vote for the president of the United States elections would be better to prove who wants who presidents and people be happy baout who they voted for.
Would you like to have a president by popular vote or by the electoral collage choosing the preident. Im sure i would love to pick my own president. being an american is a privalage that most people in the world would die for, the land of brave and free. people come to asmerica to be able to be free. picking a president and voting is a privage. to be able to have popular vote is so that the american citizens can pick there own preisend by popular vote, not the electoral collage's vote. according to the article Al Gore, was runnoing for presidnt and got the most populare vote but not the most electoral votes. The majority of the citizens of the united states chose Al Gore as presient but the electoral collgae took that away.
Accoring to the artical bob dole annoced that the electorial collage is unfair with these word; "Its offical: the electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrational. The best arguments in favor of it are mostly assertions without much basis in reality. And the aruments against direct elections are spuriours at best. It's hard to say this, but Bob Dole was right; Abolish the electoral collage." in these words Bob dole explanes about the unfairness of the electoral collage. As stated before the electoral collage chooses the presidents not the american people.
In conclusion the electoral collage sholiuld be abolished | 2 |
Was the Face on Mars created by aliens? No,The Face on Mars is just a natural lanform because scientist figured it out that it was just another Martian mesa, the rule of thumb, Micheal Malin and his team snapped a picture of the Face revealing a natural landform.
First in paragraph one and three, The region where the face was found is called Cydonia and scientists had also found that it just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia.
Next in paragraph eleven, Jim Garvin, chief scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program, explained that "As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times than the pixel size, so if there were objects in the this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptain-style pyramids or even small shacks, you can see what they were!'
Finally in paragraph seven, Michael Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photo. Thousands of web surfers waiting when the image first appeared on a JLP web site,revealing a natural landform. There was no alien monument.
In conclusion, the Face was not created by ailens ,but just a natural landform because scientists have figured out that a mesa is a common lanform, the rule of thumb, and MOC team snapped a picture of the Face revealing a natural landform. | 2 |
In "The Challenge of Eploring Venus," the author suggests that studying venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. All throughout the artical the author gives lots of information on why we should study venus even with there being danger all throughout the planet. he talks about the dangers there could be, but the reward would be bigger in the long run if we explored venus. because of that he wishes to do so.
in paragraph 8 he states " Striving to meet the challenge presented by venus has value, not only because of the instigtht to be gained by itself, but also becuase human curiosty will likely lead us into many equally itimidating endeavores". he pretty much says that because of human curiosty it will happen with or without venus having dangers and he believes that we should do somthing before someone else does in the future. he believes even if there is high tempatures, radiation storms, and how 92% of the air is carbin dixoide which is all stated as dangers along with many other dangers of venus on paragraph 3. that we need to do more test and make more things to withstand veuns.
With all of these dangers it states in paragraph 7 "looking back to an old techonology called mechanical computers. these devices were fist envisioned in the 1800s and played an importan role in the 1940s world war ll" it wasnt actual computer, they didint exist in those days they were devices that made calculations by using gears and levers. the authour believes that is if somthing like that can survive world war ll than it should be made again to go down for testing and studying on venus.
all throughout the artical he has supported his claim very good on why we should study venus despite the dangers on venus. with loads of things of evedice all throughout this artical he talks about the dangers there could be, but the reward would be bigger in the long run if we explored venus. | 2 |
Dear, Senator of Florida
After reading this article about Electral College, I believe that we should keep Electoral College because it makes it easier to count up all the votes for the president of the United states. One of my main reasons is because what if we get a tie on the votes, there is a whole prosses that we need to go through just to break up that tie. If we have Electral College then it makes it easier because we just count up the amount of electral votes given to each state.
I stated that we should keep Electral College because it makes it earier to count up the "electral votes" for the president of the United States. I said this because on Source 1: What is the Electral College?, "the Electral College consistes of 538 electors. Amajority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the President."(Office of the Federal Register,3). Also if we get a tie there is a whole prosses that we go through to break up that tie. According to, Source 2: The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defense of the system are wrong, "in that case,the election would be throuwn to the House of Representatives, where state delegations vote on the president."(Plumer,12).
My other reason for us to keep the Electoral College is because it makes it so much easier for them to count up how many votes we get in the whole United States just to chose out president. According to the map on Source 3: In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President, it showes that deppending on how popular or how big the population is in the state, it has more electoral votes. This has nothing to do with how big or small the state is, for example the state of Alaska is the United States biggest state and it only has 3 electoral votes but the state of callifornia wich is very small compaired to Alaska has 55electoral votes. the reasons that they state in Source 3: In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President, are very interesting and can convince you to keep Electoral College. "1) Certainty of Outcome, 2) Everyone's Presiden, 3) Swing States, 4) Big States, and 5) Avoid Run-Off Elections."
Hopefully I got you to keep Ellectoral College and forget about the idea of changing to electing the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens. I have stated my oppinion of the topic and hopefully you will agree with me. | 2 |
The Electoral College is an outdated system of voting. There are few weak reasons why it should be carried out as the nations voting process. The United States of America should change to election by popular vote for the presidency.
Admmitedely, the winner take all system is a fair way of deviding the votes. In the first article "What Is the Electoral College?" by the Office of the Federal Register, the author asserts, "Most states have a 'winner-take-all' system that awards all the electors to the winning presidential candidate." If a presidential candidate spends alot of time, effort, and money in a campaign for a "swing" state; he should be awarded all the votes for winning that state. It is a high risk but high reward to spend all that time and money to only earn sixty percent of the votes. That is why a "winner-take-all" is crucial. To add on, the author of the first article mentions, "Each candidate running for President in your state has his or her own group of electors. The electors are generally chosen by the candidate's political party, but state laws vary on how the electors are selected and what their responsibilities are..." This is saying that a candidate chooses his or her electors, and you vote for the electors to then choose the candidate you voted for. However; the people should have the right to directly choose the candidate of his or her choice. Therefore, the elecoral college is outdated and must be eliminated.
To start off, Bradford Plumer the author of "The indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong" states, "Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president." Every vote counts. But why make a vote more powerful than another. Citizens shouldn't be given a special vote just because they were chosen by the candidates party. Additionally, Plumer explains, "If you lived in texas, for instance, and wanted to vote for [John] Kerry, you'd vote for a slate of 34 Democratic electors pledged to Kerry." Why should kerry earn 34 electoral votes. He should earn the amount of voters in that state he persuaded to vote for him. He should not earn the electoral votes of all the people that did not think he was the best presidential candidate. Every vote should count, and that is why the electoral college should be eliminated.
Secondly, Plumer claims "Perhaps most worrying is the prospect of a tie in the electoral vote. In that case, the election would be thrown to the House of Representatives, where state delegations vote on the president. (The senate would choose the vice-president.) Because each state casts only one vote, the single representative from Wyoming, representing 500,000 voters, would have as much say as the 55 representatives from California, who represnt 35million voters." This method is rediculous. A state with one representative should not have the equal amount of power as a state with 55. If popular vote is made the way of electing then the odds of a tie would be nearly impossible. Also Plumer adds, "Al Gore-thanks to the quirks of the electoral college-won the popular vote but lost the presidency." This means more people thought he was better suited to be the President of the United States, but Bush won because of the "quirks" of the electoral college. All in all, the electoral college is unfair, and creates more problems then popular vote.
The United States of america should change from the electoral college to popular vote. The outcome would be better for the country, and fairer to the candidates. That is why the electoral college should be eliminated. | 4 |
Mars is a very interesting planet with many marvelous sites. It is even called the Red Planet thanks to its bright red hue. Also, Mars has a region called Cydonia. This region contains the popular "Face on Mars". The Face is believed to be an alien artifact.
In 1976, scientists discovered one of the biggest wonders in the world ... "the Face on Mars". This happened during one of Viking 1 missions to look for a landing site for his sister ship, Viking 2. Scientists guessed it to be another "Martian messa", which was common in the region of Cydonia. After unveiling the image to all people, "to attract attention to Mars", many people believed that it was evidence for life on the Red Planet. Some people even said that " the Face is "bona fide" evidence of life on Mars- evidence that NASA would rather hide" but, "defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an ancient civilization on Mars", which shows that NASA would actually benefit from an alien life form so they had no reason to hide it from the world.
There are many facts that help support the fact that there is no alien life form on Mars. For example, in 1998: the Mars Global Surveyor took a photo of the Face on Mars, which was ten times sharper than the Viking photos, that revealed the "Face" to actually be a natural landform. Still not all people believed, so in 2001 the Mars Global Surveyor took a second look of the Face. The picture was taken by a camera in which, "each pixel in the image spanned 1.56 meters compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 Viking photo." The picture taken by this camera ended up showing a "Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa" and not a face built by an alien civilization. In conclusion, you could still believe there to be aliens on Mars, but you would just be ignoring the facts that the scientist of NASA have presented in their photos of Mars from the years 1998 and 2001. | 2 |
Fresh clean air, spotless streets and no car accidents. Welcome to Vauban, Germany. The 5,500 people of this town are a part of something that this day and age has never seen. The residents here have given up their cars, and are a part of an experiment where their streets are completely "car-free"!
After this experiment started in Germany, it's population would agree that the tense-ness they were feeling with their cars is now gone. This new way of living was started in 2006 and other countries would agree that it is a smart move and an affordble way of living. The residents of Vauban have more money to spend on other necessities such as clothing and food, or maybe some entertainment, even. All of their monthly car payments and gasoline bills have ceased to exist because they simply have no reason to pay the prices anymore without a car. Citizens of this little town don't have to walk (or ride their bikes) far because the city has thought this movement out very well. All of the stores are placed just a walk away rather than their malls being placed on a distant highway. Public transportation has become more accessible and there is more space for side-walks rather than roads. For some, this is a dream town for them and their children. There isn't much of a worry about air polution or accidents.
If you were to compare Vauban's air pollution to Bejing's the difference would be austounding. Just last night, NBC Nightly News showed the city of Bejing where the smog was so dense that visibility was reduced to almost none. The majority of the population won't go outside with out wearing a mask to protect them selves. All of the air pollutants could be harming us even with a potential risk of lung cancer. The mayor of Bejing has even made a statement talking about his city's air, and the risk and threat it poses to his residents. Even the common person will recognize that the gas emissions from a car's tail pipe equals pollution. Paris officials knew this too, and understood that their city had an air cleanliness issue. So, in an effort to make the City of Love more pleaseable they limited what cars could drive on what days. They enforced a partial driving ban to clear the smog in the city. For a short amount of time only even-numbered cars, for example, could drive on a Monday. If odd numbered cars were on the street then there would be a 22 Euro fine (that equals 31 USD's). After 5 days, car traffic and conjestion was down around 60% on the streets, and the air pollution started clearing.
Fatal crashes are among the one of the third highest risks for all American's. Some states have even made it a law to not text and drive, and in some states there probably is a "no talking on the cell phone law" too! If the number of cars are reduced -or taken away all together- I feel that the lives of the American people are less at risk. Every day, and not just in this country, hundreds of people are injuring them selves or getting killed by distracted driving, hit-and-runs, and driving under the influence. It could be beneficial to cut down the car usage and up the number of public transportation avaible to the public.
In any major city you go to in the United States, all around you, you can notice the large amounts of people walking to where they need to go. In Washington D.C. bike rentals are
EVERYWHERE. And if you don't want to take a bike then take the D.C. Metro. The same will go for New York City or anywhere with a large population of people. You will also notice that city folk tend to be slimmer than others. That is most likley due to the fact that they walk everywhere. Just like I mentioned before, like Vauban, eveything in a major city is usually within walking distance. As we all know, walking is a form of excersize and it is recomemnded by health officials that each person should get at least 1 hour every day and it is very believeable that a city go-er gets plenty more than the recomended. The first lady has started a program for children in an effort to get them moving, fit and healthy as well. Some children in New York City won't even drive a single day in their lives- or worry about what could happen if they do. Also, the Capital of Colombia-Bogota- has organized a day for it's residence to avoid taking their car. It is called the Day Without Cars and the major goal is to reduce smog and promote walking.
All in all.. Cars, the most dangerous driving force in our daily lives, should be cut back on. Even with study after study coming out and proving just how danger and non-beneficial to our health they are, they are slowly losing populatiry. If this pattern stays consistant then sociologists say that it will have great effects on the atmosphere, and our healthy lives that we all live. | 4 |
The Face on mars has to be a natural landform. My reasons for believing that is because there is no proof of aliens on Mars, there is no possible way that a human built because the only thing that has gotten to Mars is a bunch of probes, and even if we did have a human on Mars we wouldn't have the equipment to build something like that. There are no signs of alien life so how can it be made by aliens ?
The face on Mars is a natural landform. In the article it says JPL web site said that it was a natural landform. That means there is no possible chance that it was built by aliens. I think the reason why the radio, Hollywood, magazines, and TV said all that stuff was so that they could attention. People in the world for some reason are drawn to all that. They are drawn to the idea that there is a possible chance that we aren't the only ones out here in universe. The people that did all of that most likey just wanted attention, so that can they get more views or followers.
An ancient civilization on Mars just wouldn't make any sense. We had ancient civilizations too, but we didn't bulid every single butte in America. Natural landforms are so interesting that people just immediately think who made it and how it got there. There is no possible way that an ancient group of anything made that because there is not enough advanced technology. Even if aliens did exist and they did have technology why would they waste there time on building a face on Mars ?
If you are saying that it's not natural then thats like saying that the Middle Butte and Snake River where made by aliens. Just think for actual second about how that makes no sense because I don't go outside and see aliens trying to build a landform. Even if aliens did make it then how come they aren't still around or left any clues behind? Did they just all of the sudden build an amazing landform and just leave? No they didn't because if you put your hard work into something you are going to stay with it as long as you can and see how it ends up later in life. If there was aliens they would've left something so that we would know it was them.
The Face on Mars was not made by aliens. It says in the article that it is a natural landform. I don't believe everything that scientist say but I believe this one because it makes sense. All the proof you need is in the article and I added some things such as, how we can't find any aliens, how there are no signs of them now or even in the past, and that if they are real they wouldn't have that type of technology. | 2 |
Should cars drive themselves? This might be the dream of many who think of the future, but reality is driverless cars are more trouble than they are worth. Although car companies argue that driverless cars are becoming safer and safer, they fail to see many serious shortcomings. Cars shouldn't drive themselves because, they are incapable of adapting to dangerous situations fast, they can create many difficult legal problems and scenarios, and humans would not be able to pay attention whenit was needed.
Moreover cars that drive themselves will never be able to replace human logic, reasoning, and intelligence. Computers, like those in driverless cars are programmed with a specific list of actions and reactions. While a human can discern when to do specific tasks, computers on the other hand can only give a reaction from a premade list. Therefore a computer can be stimulus similiar to something else, but then react to it wrongly due to them having no ability to discern or gain experience.
Then there is also the legal problems that can come about from these cars. In paragraph 9 of this article it states,"If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault-the driver or the manufacturer?" There are many other problems that a automobile can raise so ultimately it's not worth the risk legally speaking. That is why, for good reason many states have prohibited the use of smart cars in their state.
Furthermore it is hard already for people to pay attention while behind the wheel and to avoid distraction and getting bored on the road. If people wwere allowed to drive in driverless cars that only alerted them when they are getting into dangerous situations they can easily become distracted and bored, making it hard to respond when their life might depend on it. A project owner of the driverless cars even admits to it when he says, "The pyschological aspects of automation are really a challenge." Although they propose a sloution to add an entertainment system in for a safety feature, reality is the human attention span shrinks year by year so they would have to constantly update this in order to keep the car safe.
Finally there are many more reasons why cars like this are dangerous. THis could possible give hackers a new to terrorize people, and the driverless cars simply malfunction and kill someone! This why despite the wonder and amazement of a car that could drive itself we want these cars nowhere, especially on our roads! | 3 |
Venus is the second planet from our sun. each previous missions was unmanned, and for good reason, Since no space craft survived the landing for more than a few hours. In this problem explains why not a single spaceship has touched doen on venus in more than three decades. A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. Also the planet is referred to as Earth's twin. The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and indcludes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters.
Numerous factors contribute to Venus's reputation as a challenging planet for humans to study. Even more challening 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 peole experience on earth. Venusian geology and weather present additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface. A vehicle hovering over Venus would avoid the unfriendly ground conditions by staying up and out of their way.
Venus was a dangerous challenging for humans. Before land on the planet scientists had to study and even thought Venus is like earth, But more temperatures on the surface. No one cant even make it by its limited dangers. Systems that use mechanical parts can be made more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces. Good thing is many researchers made new upgrade machines to last long enough to understand Venus. | 1 |
The using of of this new technology called the Facial Action Coding Systems should be used to read the emtional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable. This technology can help many students in need without having to ask the teacher or professor for help. The students wont need to feel ashamed about asking a questionfor help because with this technology it'll make things more clearly for you to understand.
In the text it states it explains to you how this new technology can scan your facial recognitions and can tell how you're feeling. First the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of your face and all 44 major muscles in the modele must move like human muscles. In the text it states, "Eckman has classified the six basic emotions which are happines, surprise,anger, disgust, fear, and sadness." All these emotions are associated with the characteristics movements of your facial muscles. Some examples he talks about is when you're surprised your frontalis pars lateralis muscle above your eyes are raised; another one is when your orbicularis oris, around your mouth tightens your lips to show anger. This software can identify misex emotions and each expresion is compared to a neutral face that shows no emotion.
This new technology advancement would be able to recognize one's emotions but we can't always rely on technology. For instance we don't need technology to know when a friend is sad but we can just recongize their expresions by simply looking t their face. This technology can also be misleadng, In the text it states, "A classroom computer could recgnize when a student is becomine confusef or bored..Then it culd modify the lesson , like an effective human instructor." Yes this technology can read facial expressions but can they truly understand why we are feeling this way or whats going on through our head. We can be in class learning a lesson but you can be confused about not what you're learning but of something else that's going across your head. Like any other technology. this new technology can work both ways a student it can either help them or bring them down.
Much of the human communication is nonverbal which includes emotional communications, so computers need to understand that too. This technology is basically based upon the muscular action units one gives away. In the text states, "They even indicate the difference between a geneuine smile and a forced one. In the real smile, the zygomatic major (muscles that begin at your cheek bones) lift the corners of your mouth. Meanwhile, muscles called orbicularis oculi pars palpabraeus make crow's-feet around your eyes. But in a false smile, the mouth is stretched sude ways using the zygomatic major and and a different muscle, the risorius." They say faces don't lie, so this technology would be able to read even the fake smile you put on.
The Facial Action Coding System may help the students in many different ways. It can help them with a lesson that they don't quite understand or confused about. It can recognize if youre truly happy or faking or any oter emotions you may be feeling. Yes you know how you are felling but this technology can help give you the confidence you need. This system shows how it can improve one's life by it understanding your facial muscles that give away your expressions. You won't be ashamed to ask questions nor be laughed at because this technology will help you without you realizing it. While you're confused on the lesson this technology would modify the lesson like an effective human instructor so you'll understand the lesson mre. | 3 |
In 'The Challenge of Exploring Venus" the author gives suggestions as to why studying Venus is a worthy persuit because of the little details as to how Venus carries a great amount as to how scientists can study to bring actual life to that planet. However, along it comes some safety hazards like extreme temperatures and high gasses in the atmosphere. I can see as to why might Venus be so similar to Earth. Venus is "often referred to as Earth's "twin" Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too." If having a planet that similar to a living planet why wouldn't we do everything in our power to make a planet that is very much the same as ours. Science has been evolving a lot over the years and I'm pretty sure that with all the technology and theories scientist have came up with them being able to have a study to plan out how to bring life to Venus would probably work at and greater and more things coulud also come along with it.
The author does a good job of these statements because they give some examples to both sides as to why or why not there should be a study on life on Venus. The author seem to have thrown in a few claims to create an arguement for both sides if its a good idea or not. I have two exampes as to why sending Scientist off in to space would be a bad idea. " 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." Having that said if we send them off into Venus it would be a problem because they would'n't have any time to experiment and do research up there since theres been problems with the spaceship not being able to survive. "the planets surface, tmeperatures aveerage over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmosphere pressure is 90 times greater than waht we experience on our own planet." The material they use would have to be the problem as to why the spaceship doesnt seem to last long.
On the other hand I also agree on having this study happen and here's why. There's research on from the past that from long ago "Venus was probably coverd largely with oceans and could have supported various froms of life, just like Earth." There's other features that Venus similar to earth. "The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters. 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."
In addition, NASA has came up with an idea on how to send the scientists that are willing to study for life on Venus. "NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray."
In conclusion these were my claims as to how the author stated that the study of life on Venus should or should not happen. | 2 |
The expcerpt "The Challange of Exploring Venus" brings up many unthought of ideas by just regular people who would just passivly think about the planet. The author explores many different reaons why venus would be a better planet to explore and learn much more about the interesting planet.
In the excerpt the author brings up many different points about why venus is a good planet to explore more and get more information on. His main idea is to study Venus to see what all is there because if the planet is earth like then it may have other things there that we have yet discovered about the planet. He supports his ideas in many ways by stating that Venus's environment is closest to earth.
At last the authors point may be questionable but at the end of the excerpt his says that Venus is not the main point its the idea of exploring something that may not have a big meaning but may led to larger things. Venus is only the beginning of what humanity can do for advancements in the human race. | 1 |
The development of a driverless car is a stunning concept. Though it may seem like a wonderful idea, the negative out-weighs the positive when it comes to this. The amount of problems that can come out of this is not worth the risk. From health risks to the price, negative results from the driverless car are iminate. The development of driverless cars will have negative results.
One way that something tragic can come out of this is the safety. Without the skill of a human at the wheel people are at the mercy of the cars intelligence. Manveuring around crashes and contruction will become an immensely more tedious job. Also the dangers of the car not knowing the terain of a certain place could also pose as a major safety risk. Also, with a vehicle with this amount of technology, it is bound to develop glitcthes. Things like this put the passengers lives at risk.
Another negative of the driverless car would be the price. With an advanced car like this it would only be accessable to the wealthy. Alienating a large group of potential buyers. With this information a person can assume that it would not catch on and die off quickly. Also, the fuel of the vehicle would also be extremely expensive. Making the car a burden to have if an individual is taking a road trip.
The manufactureres would also have to consider what the people think about it mentally. Some people actually enjoy driving a vehicle. Those people would be less likely to purchase such a car. This would make it even more difficult to sell the car. Since most people are already lazy, making a driverless car would not help in their favor. Driverless cars would take the work ethic right out of people. Making people more dependent on technology is not a positive thing.
To conclude, Driverless cars would have a multitude of negative results. Although it may be nice to not have to drive, the risks that are factored in makes it not worth it. Considering the safety of the buyers is what automakers should put first before anything. Cars like these pose a great number of cocerns for the country. Driverless cars may be a thing of the future, but this is a future we should try to avoid. | 2 |
This argument is based on if you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program or if you should not. I will give you the pros and the cons aout this program. I will also give you information on my experiences on the Seagoning Cowboys program. Lets just hope that you will be impressed.
First, you should join this program because it provides ways to experience adventures and visit many unique places. For example, being a Seagoing Cowboy was much more than an adventure, "it opened up the world for me". Another example is that the cowboys played many enjoying games to pass by the time. These two example both show how joining the Seagoing Cowboys program would be a wonderful experience.
In addition, I feel that the Seagoing Cowboys program could have its bad times. It could be unsafe sometimes like the time I fell off of the ladder and cracked my ribs. Courage is a word to describe this Seagoing Cowboy program, because thats what it takes to be a cowboy. Both of these text examples are giving information on how the Seagoing Cowboy program could be difficult at times.
To conclude this argument, we have talked about the reasons to join the program and reasons on why it could be bad to join the program. You can join the program based on the information that i gave you. I hope that you will consider joining the program. | 1 |
The Electoral College has been used since the time of the Founding Fathers. "The founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and the President of a popular vote of qualifed citizens." (
the Office of the Federal Register , 1). The process of the Electoral College process consists of the selection of the electors, meeting of the electors, and the coutning of Congress' electoral votes. The electoral College requires a majority vote of 270 to elect a President and your state is entitled to the allotment of electors. Even the Electoral College has a few flaws in its system, such as when voters vote in the election, they actually vote for the slate of electors, and "the single best argument against the Electoral College is what we call the disaster factor."(Plumer, 11).
The Electoral is critisized as a system that only seems to fit in the past and doesn't belong in the present, not democratic in a modern sense, the electors elect the president, not the people, even with the critisism it have recieved over the past years, it has stayed here and is still being used. "There are five reasons for retaining the Electoral College despite its lack of democratic predigree; all are practial reasons, not liberal or conservative reasons."(Posner, 17). The certainty of Outcome, it's very unlikely to have a dispute over the popular vote. Because most states are award electoral votes on a winner-take-all basis, the slightest plurality in a state can createa landslide electoral-vote victory in that state, there is a possiblity of a tie, but it is very unlikely. A presidential candidate is required to have a transregional appeal, no region has enought votes to elect a president themselves. A candidate is highly unlikely to become a sucessful president with only just a regional appeal, the candidate must have appeal to throughout the country to become everyone's president. Swing states have voters that are more likely to pay attention to the campaign and recieved the most attention from the candidates. "The Electoral College avoids the problem of elections in which no candidate receives a majority of the votes cast." (22). The Electoral College reduces the pressure for run-off elections when no candidate wins a majority of the votes cast.
"Under the Electoral College System, voters vote not for the president but for a slate of electors, who elect the president instead."(Plumer, 10). The best arugment against the Electoral College is the Disaster Factor. The 2000 fiasco was the biggest election crisis in the country but the system can allow for much worse to come. State legislatures are responsible for picking electors, and those electors can defy the will of the American people. In 1960, Lousiana's segregations almost succeeded in replacing Democratic electors with new ones that would oppose John F. Kennedy, the candidate running for president at the time. There is always a chance of a state sending two slates of electors to Congress, it had happen in Hawaii in 1960. Vice President Richard Nixon validated only his opponent's electors. This can very well happen again. The Electoral College is unfair to voters, bexcause of the winner-take-all system in almost all states, the candidates don't spend much time on states that they knew they have no chance of succeeding.
"It can be argued that the Electoral College method of selecting the president may turn off potential voters for a candidate who has no hope of carrying their state- Democrats in Texas, or Republicans in California, for example." (23) Voters in presidential elections are people who don't think that a single vote can decide the swing of an election but they want to express a poltical reference. Even with its flaws of the Electoral College, the pros of it are just much greater and outweighs than the pros of going against the Electoral College. | 2 |
The exploration of other planets is crucial when considering the survival of the human race. There are many dangers when it comes to exploring these planets because of different conditions that humans could not survive. The planet best suited though these conditions is Venus. Venus is close to Earth and has a close density and size to Earth. In the passage "The Challenges of Exploring Venus", the author uses different ways to support the claim of further exploration on Venus despite harsh conditions and dangerous obstacles.
In order to convince the reader on why to further explore Venus, the author talks about the benfits to the human race and our survival. In the passage, the authors talks about how close Venus is to Earth and how Venus may have had conditions and life forms similar to Earth's in the past. Scientists can use this information to help the human race survive longer on Earth. The fact that Venus is the most Earth like planet in our solar system means that scientists can learn alot from Venus and this information may apply to Earth.
The dangers of the further exploration of Venus make it almost impossible for human scientists to even consider it, but they are alternative options. One option the author states is rather than going to the surface of Venus, staying at a high altitude so the weather and harsh landscape conditions will not bother or kill scientists. This avoids the thick, crushing atmosphere, the high tempertures, volcanoes, dangerous lightning storms, and all other factors that make exploring Venus questionable and uncertain. One obstacle that this creates though is the fact that scientists will not be able to collect rock or land samples.
Since Venus's atmosphere is so dense, light can not go through it. This means pictures and videos will not be able to help scientist observe the landscape of Venus. Scientists could use modern technology, but the radiation and acids in the atmosphere would quickly destroy the fragile new technology. To overcome this obstacle the author suggests the use of mechanical computers. These machines are not like modern technology where they are fast and reliable, but fragile. Mechanical computers use gears and levers and do not need electronics in order to work properly. These can be used to gather data from the landscape of Venus and help scientists.
While exploring Venus presents many dangers and seems impossble, the overall outcome seems to be quite beneficial. The author of this passage presents many details and plans to make the exploration of Venus seem possible. | 3 |
Mar's Face
Many people think that Mars has life living on it. One example would be the two mile long landform, the Face. People have been wondering for years what this odd shaped landform is, could it be an alien statue or just a natural landform. The Face is not an alien formation, but a natural landform.
When NASA sent Viking 1, in 1976, to photograph Mars. They took images of the landscape there and stumbled upon a newly forming mesa or butte. Once NASA brought the images back and analyzed them. They found that the Face was nothing more than a Martian mesa with unusual shadows that made it look like a face.
Then, in 1998, Mars Global Surveyor flew over the region again. They snapped several pictures of it, at a ten times higher resolution, I might add, and analyzed these new images. They finally put their images on the internet and revealed to the world, that the Face was nothing more than a natural landform.
Finally, in 2001, NASA sent Mars Global Surveyor a second time to photograph the Face. The team at NASA used the highest possible resolution to photograph this controversial piece of Mars. They found that the picture shows the, "Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa," which are are also found in the American West. NASA's chief scientist for the Mars Exploration Program says," It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho."
Some people think that the Face provides evidence for life on Mars becasue NASA could not get a good shot of it. They do have a point that it would be hard to get a clear image of the Face with challenging weather. Yet, NASA has proven over and over again that the Face is nothing more than a natural formation.
The Face is nothing more than a natural landform and not an alien formation. Scientists found that is was a Martian mesa but the unusual shadows made it look like a face. NASA also found that it was nothing more than a natural landform and the Face looks very similar to buttes or mesas here on earth. Others think that NASA could not have gotten good pictures because of the weather, but NASA has proven that the Face is just a natural landform. The Face is just a strange piece of Mars and not a symbol of alien history. | 3 |
"Seagoing Cowboys"
Imagine always being out in the seas where theirs beautiful scenery. Imagine actually looking foward to helping animals and hear the noises of the wind blowing you across the Atlantic Ocean on a boat. Well thats what Luke Bomberger had to look forward to everyday. Its called being a '"Seagoing Cowboy". Here are some reasons why you should become a seagoing cowboy. First, Seagoing Cowboys take care of horses,cows, and mule that are shipped here. Second, caring for animal keeps you busy. Lastly, on free time cowboys play fun games like baseball.
Some people think that being a seagoing cowboy is boring but most people think its pretty cool. when you take care of horses, cows, and mule it actually teaches you some life lessons like what to exactly do with those exotic animals.
Caring for animals is time consuming it takes up a ton of your free time but its all worth every single bit of you're time to learn from it.
When cowboys play fun games its usually at times when the animals have been unloaded off the ship and when everything has been cleaned and ready for more animals.
From attending to every need of the animal and letting horses,cows,and mule fill your free time to. Later playing a game on the ship when you did all that work it really makes you hapy and ready for more challenges that life gives you. So sign up to become a "Seagoing Cowboy" today! | 2 |
This articles is about the facial action coding system enables computers to identify human emotions. It is important to understanding how other people feeling and emotionall. This technology should valuable expressions of students in a classroom. It importand to understand or learn about facial action so that we can understand other people what they feel how they feel. Sometime we said a word that peple won't want to hear or hurt them. Able to understand they emotion and feeling we have to undertand how the person facial is. In this artile said " In the real smile, the zygomatic major lift the corner of your mouth". The fake smile or false smile is the mouth stretched aideaways using the zygomatic major and different muscle, the risorius. That one Importand thing we all can learn from this article. Also if eveyone understand there will be deeper relationship, deeper friendship and deeper family. Everyone is different so which mean they can pretend to be happy or pretend to be sad you also can tell from using facial action coding system and identify human emotions. To understand facial action is importand for everyone and students in classroom should be using and valuable the technology of facial action coding system. Thank you | 1 |
The facial action coding system has many promising applications, Mona Lisa has 83% of happiness 9% disgust 6% fearful and 2% ssanger. According to some new computer software that can reconize emotion the sofware is the latest innovation from prof. Thomas Huang, of the beckman institute for advanced science at the unversity of amsterdam. The process begins when the computar constructs a 3-D computar model of the face: All 44 mayjor muscles in the model must move like human muscles movement of one or more muscles in the model is called an "action unit" then Dr. Huang relies on the work of psychologist, such as Dr. Paul Eckman, creator of FACS. Eckman has classified six basic emotions happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness and then associated each with characteristics movements of the facial muscle. I think i like the new technology that the person invented it can detect your emotins and feelings. And i doubt others can invent something like that | 0 |
Personally I believe that the idea of driverless cars is incredibly neat and could benefit different people in different ways. Advancements in technology are always exciting however, I feel as though this development just shows how lazy society is becoming by wanting to do the least amount of manual work as possible throughout the day. While these cars may be convenient, I stuggle to believe they are neccessary to our lives. Another negative outcome of driverless cars is diving will be a skill that nobody has anymore if it is used by less and less people over the years. Also, a car that does not need a driver would eliminate some jobs from the workforce, like taxi drivers or chauffers, which would be harmful to the economy.
Driverless cars are currently using sensory technology to give the ability to know surroundings and drive itself so a driver does not have to be bothered to drive the car themself. When this thought is taken into consideration, one could notice how the amount of work that is being put into eliminating the work of driving seems contradictory and pointless. It is arguable that driverless cars may serve purpose to the lives of disabled people who would otherwise be unable to drive themselves but even then, our current technology still requires a human to take over the vehicle at times in work zones, difficult traffic, or arouund accidents. Driverless cars are exactly that; cars without drivers. The slow decrease in people driving due to these vehicles will cause driving to be a skill that is eventually taken away by the hands of the future. Also, if "fleets of driverless formed a public-transport taxi system" taxi drivers, bus drivers, and other transportation vehicle drivers would have their jobs removed from the workforce. The jobs may not be lost right away due to the fact that the our current technology still "...requires human skills...", but eventually cars would not need drivers at all and these jobs would no longer be needed.
In my opinion, driverless cars are an interesting and exciting development in technology but they are not neccessary to our lives. These cars may be beneficial to some people, like disabled people for example, but could have negative affects on the lives of people whose income depends on the need of a vehicle to have a driver. For this reason I do not think that driverless cars should be what is the new normal for our roads. | 2 |
Lukes point of veiw of convincing others to participate in the seagoing cowboys program was sotomething that luke wanted to do and he wanted to try and inspire other to also participate in the seagoing cowboys program. And enjoy it as much as he does.
The passage states," It made me more aware of people of other contries and their needs''. The passage also states, " And that awareness stayed with him, leading his family to host a number of international students and exchange visitors for many years. So those are impotant details to support my anwser. So that proves why luke point of veiw of convincing others to participate in the seagoing cowboys program.
The author also states,'' But being a seagoing cowboy was much more than an adveture for Luke Bomberger.'' The author also states, '' It opened up the world to him.'' So that are some more important details. So that proves why luke was convincing others to participate in the seagoing cowboys program.
Even though it may take alot of time to go places to places many people may not like having long trips. The text states,'' It took about two weeks to cross the Atlantic Ocean from the eastern coast of the united States and a month to get too china.'' THe passage also states,'' They took cre of animals and bales of hay and bags of oats had to pull up from the lower holds of the ship. So those are some more details. So that proves again why luke keeps on convincing them to participate in the seagoing program, if they didn't want to they didn't have to.
So that's why it's really lukes idea and kind of there's to choose from . So that's my anwser for the question and there's many details in the passage that's support many anwsers. | 1 |
Driverless cars are not needed and unneccessary. Driving a motorized vehicle is already dangerous enough. This world does not need the option to rely on, what are supposed to be, "Driverless Cars". The number of recks in the world due to reckless drivers is too much and we do not need to have driverless vehicles to make the matter worse. In paragraph 7, it states that as of 2013, "that none of the cars developed so far are completely driverless." It also mentions in the same paragraph that the "driverless cars" require an alert driver that is ready to take over at any time. What is the point of a driverless car if the driver is always meant to pay attention and rely on themselve when a potential saftey hazard gets in their way. There are always going to be more reckless drivers than careful drivers and that fact could cause a lot of issues. Why should we give reckless drivers the privilage of a somewhat driverless vehicle? Why should we put the safety of others at risk? Not only is the practice of driverless cars illegal in most states but the laws that will come with the new driverless vehicles will not be followed by most. In paragraph 9, it says that laws will be made to ensure safety, but to ensure safety those laws require alert and careful drivers and like mentioned in my previous paragraph, there are simply not enough alert drivers in this world to ensure safety. Manufacturers cannot guaruntee everyone's safety. Just like motorized vehicles today, they apply many safety features to ensure safey, but there are still hundreds of people dying everyday because those safety features were not good enough. Why ensure laws that are going to be broken? Why ensure safety if there is still a possibility that something could go wrong and a person or more than one person could lose their lives. Driversless vehicles are said to be completely driverless by 2020 accourding to paragraph 10 but, is that really true or is it mostly true? | 2 |
Dear,Senator Of Florida
You should keep the Electoral College because the founding fathers of the United States Of America established it when they made the constitiution. The Electoral College helps the selection of the electors where citizans of the United States Of America vote for presidant and vice president. You should also keep the electoral college because alot of people help with the Electoral College. If you the Senitor Of Florida take the Electoral College away 538 electors will lose there job and more. The president needs a majority of 270 electoral votes these votes come from the Electoral College.
The 23rd admendment of the Constitution the District Of Columbia is allowed to have 3 electors. These electors are treated liike a state for purposes of the electoral college. Each canadate running for president in your state has his or her own group of electors. If the Electoral College these people wouldent have their jobs. The presidential election is held every four years on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November. We the people of the UUnited states Of America help choose our states electors. After the presidential election our govener prepares a Certificate Of Ascertainment. This cerificate lists all of the canadates who ran for president.
At ther most basic level the Electoral College is unfair to voters because of the Winner take All syaytem in each state, because of this durning the 2000 campain seventeen states did not see there canadates at all. The Electoral College is outdated and unfair. It is also irrational. | 0 |
I think that we should have this Facial Action Coding System. It can make teaching much easier for a teacher and learning much easier on students. The FACS can change just about everything we know about human emotions. This could be a new way to help people in classrooms and people with depression.
Since this FACS was made we are able to better understand how people are feeling. Wethier its in the classroom helping the teacher better engage his or her students into there lesson, or its helping someone who dosent want to show emoting get help with something thats bothering them.Since the face can show so much more emotion than we can normally see we are able to see deeper down at what they are actually feeling. As in paragraph 6 it quotes "A Classroom coumputer could recognzer when a student is becoming confused or bored, Dr. Huang predicts. Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instrutor." Knowing that many people dont want to be in a classroom there whole day this system will be able to change there action of study to where its more enjoyable for the student to sit there and actually learn about the material.
As it goes to show the FACS would be a great thing to have because it would greatly help out in so many different ways. With this new technology we will be able to better our school learning systems. We will be able to better our world with better learning systems. | 2 |
Think that it would be a great idea to participate in this program because you will get to vist and see so many beautiful places and you will have many great experiences. On paragraph 5 is tells you that this opportunity for a small town boy was unbelivable besides helping people he was able to see Europe and China. One of the best parts is that you wont have to work all the time becuase in paragraph 8 it says that they had fun activities to help pass the time. This great oppertunity opened lukes eyes to the world and the people around it. If you are planning on doing this then i think you should do it because it is such a great oppernunity.
In paragraph 9 luke sayes that being a seagoing cowboy was much more then an adventure for Luke Bomberger. It opened up the world for him. If you are planning on being a seagoing boy imagine all the places and people you will be able to meet. You will be able to see so many different coultures and how other people live. Would'nt that sound like so much fun it would be an adveture you will never forget.
Imagine being 18 and traveling around the world. Not every 18 year old gets the oppertunity to travel to Greece or China or Europe. Now that would be great. Traveling at a yound age. Teengers now these days are always stuck on there phones instead of going outsude and enjoy the fresh air. Take this oppertunity you wont regret it. Luke didnt. | 2 |
Our home called Earth will not last forever. In thousands of years to come we will need a new home if we want humans to survive. The author in the passage, "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" has given us a possibility of a new home.
Venus is known to be Earth's twin. Earth and Venus has similarities but also differences. Scientist and inventors can help make us adapt to Venus's enviroment. Venus has many harsh living enviroments like average temperatures being over eight hundard degrees fahrenheit, atmospheric pressure is ninty times greater than Earth, hottest surface temperature, and even intense weather. None of these dangers can stop us entirely. Venus may have some harsh conditions but us humans can survive if we put effort into it. The author has provided information about how we can adapt to Venus's lifestyle. He has done research about past inventions from world war II that could help us with inventions that could survive the intense heat and also many other ideas.
Not only do scientists believe this could happen but even NASA. NASA has came up with a solution to be able to create hostile conditions, so us humans can survive on the hot surfaces on Venus. If scientist and NASA continue to do their job and commit to Venus then humans will never have to be scared of us humans loosing our home. It may not be our generations but many generations to come will thank these people who have put thier time, effort, and brains to help make Venus our second home.
Dedication and Imagination can lead us to the Evening Star.
All we need is to be brave and try new things. The author has shown us a new way to live and proved to the readers we can make it happen. I'll be hoping to see you on the spaceship to Venus, our new home. | 2 |
The author supports the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents by saying the astronomers are fascinated by Venus, NASA working on a way to approach Venus.
The author supports the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers by saying the astronomers are fascinated by Venus. In the article it says "Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system." This shows that it's worth pursuing because astronomers find it fascinating.
The author supports the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents by saying that NASA is working on a way to approach Venus. In the article it says "NASA is working on other approaches to studying Venus. For example, some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have tested for three weeks in such conditions." This shows that NASA is working on a way to approach Venus.
The astronomers are fascinated by Venus,NASA working on a way to approach Venus is how the author supports the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. | 1 |
