The author gives facts all the through the article about venus. "Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size." Saids the author. Each previous mission was nunamed, and for good reason, since no spacecraft survived the landing for mare than a few hours. The author explains why not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus in more than three decades. Numerous factors contribute to venus's reputation as a challenging planet for humans to study. Which means for the author to get this much information about Venus, is kind of crazy in a since.
"On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degress Fahrenheit, and the atomospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet." The author has all of these facts, numbers, data, proof, ect, to back up everything that is being said through out this entire article. Also, the author talks about the conditions of encounter on Earth; such as environment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and would liquefy many metals. The author supports the claim by telling us all of the facts and details about Venues. That makes sense and goes right along with the article. "Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system, even through Mercury is closer to our sun."
I like how by reading this article, you can learn many things; new things. That you might not have even known before. Not just about Venus; but about our solar system as a whole. "why are scientists even discussing further visits to its surface?" The author creates questions through out the article to make the reader get into the article more. To get the reader thinking. The author gives reasoning.
"Astronomers are facinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth- like planet in our solar system." Venus is a lot more important and more powerful than any. Beyond high pressure and heat, Venusian geology and weather prersent additonal impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lighting strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface. The author is taking in facts about Venus and still asking questions. The author isn't going for anything less.
The author begins to add the "howevers." Which indents to come up somewhere in this article. "However, peering at Venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can provide only limited insight on ground conditions." ..Then
the reasoning starts to approch; "Because most forms of photography anmd videsography ineffective." It's like a cycle through this whole article. The author brings out the facts then the reasoning behind it.
With supporting the facts, the author tends to go back into the pass sometimes telling us how it use to be back in those times as well. "These devices were first envisioned in the 1800s and played an important role in the 1940s during World War II." Modern computers are enormously powerful, flexabile and quick, but tend to be more delicate when it comes to extreme physical conditions. I like how the author is very careful with the wording and how she/he puts things. | 3 |
Limiting car usage would be an extraordinary improvement in everyone's daily lives. When you think of Bejing, China what do you see? Busy streets filled with cars, sky scrapers, and SMOG. The earth shouldn't be treated like this, when people excessively drive it creates significant amounts of greenhouse gases. Also, we shouldn't have to live in this kind of environment, filled with smog, it's very unhealthy to inhale these substances. Think about a world with no cars for a second like in Vauban, Germany; walking to work (which gets in a quick morning exercise), watching kids play with their friends outside, clear skies, oh and actually being able to take a deep breath without suffocating. These are all marvelous reasons to reduce car usage.
Think of Earth before cars; there were clear skies, green views, blue seas, birds chirping in the morning. Nice right? Well, now come back to reality where the air is gray, the fields are covered with roads or dirt, the seas are filled with oil and the sea animals all fighting for their lives. According to experts, "passengers are responsible for 50 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in United States". Is sitting in a car, being lazy, stuck in a traffic jam really worth this? You could be out enjoying the view taking it all in, getting in a few minutes of exercise even. To me, there is no question, I won't be responsible for the lives of others.
Now, jump forward a few years, imagine excessive car use, black skies, no room to walk. Who wants this kind of environment to live in? Noone, and thats why we need to change our lifestyles a tad, otherwise this is what it will be like. The smog that cars create is not good for you, it damages your lungs slowly, but surely. My question is would you rather save a few minutes getting to work and die a few years early, or walk to work, enjoying the beautiful view of nature and also getting some exercise in? I think this decision is the easiest one a person could make.
Lastly, think about the future generations, do you want them to be unhealthy and relying on automobiles their whole lives or do you want them to experience the awesome adventures life has? Don't use your car for one day, that's not too much to ask and just appreciate your neighbors, the animals and all the amazing things Earth has to offer. That will surely change your mind about using cars and if it doesn't have a nice life struggling to take a breath and see more than a few feet in front of you.
I definitely think that car usage has a major negative impact on our environment and it needs to change. Cars hurt our Earth, our health, and our daily lives distorting us from what we really need. Apparently, "A study last year found that driving by young people decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009.." this is an amazing start and I hope it continues. | 3 |
Dear, State Senator
This is a letter to argue in favor of keeping the Electoral College."There are many reasons to keep the Electoral College" one reason is because it is widely regarded as an anachronism, a dispute over the outcome of an Electoral College vote is possible, but it is less likely than a dispute over the popular vote, and the Electoral College restores some of the weight in the political balance that large states (by population) lose by virue of the mal apportionment of the Senate decreed in the Constitution.
I am in favor of keeping the Electoral College because,it is widely regarded as an anachronism. A non-democratic method of selecting a president that ought to be [overruled] by declaring the canaditdate who receives the most populare votes the winner. The advocates of this position are correct in arguing that the Electoral College method is not democratic in a method sense.It is the electors who elect the the president ,not the people. But each party selects a slate of electors trusted to vote for the party's nominee (and that trust is rarely betrayed).
Another, reason I am in favor of keeping the Electoral College is because, a dispute over the outcome of an Electoral College vote is possible. But it is less likely than a dispute over the popular vote. But it is less likely than a dispute over the popular vote. The reason is that the winning canadate's share of the Electoral College invariably exceeds his share of the popular vote.
Last but not least, I am in favor of keeping the Electoral College is because, the Electoral College restores some of the weight in the political balance that large states (by population) lose by virue of the mal apportionment of the Senate decreed in the Constitution. A larger state gets more attintion from presidential canadidates in a campaign than a small state does. It can be argued that Electoral College methods of selecting the president may turn off potential voters for a canadidates who has no hope of carrying their state. But of course no voter's vote swings a national election, and in spite of that, about 1/2 the eligible American population did vote in the [2012's] election.

I do not think that the use of this technology on the students in the classroom is valuable I think this because we don't need technology to see how someone is feelings or to show us someone's emotions. We can tell just by looking at them that they are fine or not. Technology is used to much in the world. My question is why would we even use that technology, because later on generations won't be able to look at someone and tell their emotions.
In the story, the author gives an example of how we don't use technology to tell one's emotions. "You can probably tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look on her face." That example shows that we don't need technology to figure out one's emotions. Even though, its a great invention would be even use it. Its not appropriate to use in a classroom setting. A teacher using that just to see what the kids' emotions are on the lesson. The teacher could just look at them and see how they feel towards this.
The teacher would probably say that it would be useful for that technology. Some students probably wouldn't mine but others would. Students don't like to show their emotions sometimes. Then all of a sudden a teacher can just tell your emotions in a second. The students would probably feel uncomfortable, because the teacher can see how they are feeling. Feelings or emotions are meant for that certain person. That certain person can show off his/her emotions to other students around them.
Also where would you even put the emotional expression technology, because having a huge thing in the front of the classroom would be a distraction. That technology is also a distraction, because students would mess around with it when they probably aren't supposed too. Also the students would keep asking the teacher what their emotions are. "Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." That quote sounds like its better than a teacher, because it can read the emotions and tell when the students get bored so they can change it.
The invention would be nice, but not in a classroom settings. Its just not appropriate there. In the story, it makes you do a little motions with your face. This is demonstrating that the technology will use the muscular part of your face to determine your emotions at that current time. The technology is cool on how it works and operates, but reading the students' muscular emotions would not be right.
Towards the end of the text, they said they used it for a theatre thing. That is an appropriate place to use it, because you are supposed to show a lot of emotions there. Also they could read your emotions and help improve them because the technology told you what the emotion mostly was. The technology does reveal a lot about the science of emotions, but other places would have better use on it.
Some students like to hide their emotions from the teacher or other students. Some don't want people to know what they are feeling, because its their own business. Students wouldn't want their teachers walking up to them asking what is wrong, and the students said something like how do you know there is something wrong. Then the teacher says I used the emotional expression technology. The student would just feel awkward, because the teacher just figured out their emotions when they probably wanted to keep it to themselves. This is why the use of technology to read the emotion expressions of students in a classroom is not valuable. | 3 |
In this generation, our planet is getting flithier and filthier by the day. What many people are too late to realize is that we are the main cause of our dirty planet. Cars contribute to air pollution a lot. What's the only solution to this smog filled atmosphere? There are many, but limiting car usage will definitely be beneficial and highly advantageous. Limiting car usage will help reduce air pollution significantly, and will even help humans out too.
We breathe the air in our atmosphere. When you notice that our atmosphere is as dirty as it is, you really don't want to think about what you are putting into your lungs. The amount of air pollution is an extreme amount, and if not controlled soon, we will be in danger. An advantage of limiting car usage would be that the air pollution will be benefitted, and will be getting lower hopefully. As Robert Duffer states Paris of having " intesifying smog." That should be very concerning news and should be a clear wake up call. Limiting car usage is definitly something our planet needs to look into. A healthier atmospere is better than one filled with smog. The decrease of air pollution is just one of the many advantages of limiting car usage.
Limiting car usage is also advantageous by taking away stress. Many people that drive all know what the pains are of being stuck in traffic. What if you don't wake up on time and you skip taking a shower, or skip eating breakfast, and speed as fast as you can to make it to work? It causes severe stress. From that point on in the day, you literally can't concentrate or focus and you just know it is going to be a rough day. Well, limiting car usage would take some stress away. See, super slow traffic , being late to work, skipping the most important meal of the day, it all just builds up into a lot of unneeded and unwanted stress. If people don't have to deal with congested highways, they could enjoy a nice walk to their job, or ride their bicycle. Doing this would instantly take away stress. "It's a good opportunity to take away stress..." says Carlos Arturo Plaza, a business man(Selsky). There are cities that have tried having a day with no cars. It has worked in taking away stress, as you can see. Taking a bike ride or walking instead of driving a car is also beneficial becasue it's exercise.
Limting car use has its benefits. People should be aware of the growing danger of air pollution, and limitng car usage will help reduce the amount of pollution. Also, it helps in taking away stress and clearing minds. It is not a bad idea to start limiting our car usage, for we will receive the benefits of decreased car usage. | 3 |
The driverless cars are a bad idea. In theroy, they sound wonderful. But in reality they are a safty hazard. To start with the driver needs to stay aware of the car and traffic, they cant go through construction, and are still are not legal in some states around the U.S.
The driver has to stay aware of the other things around them. Even thought you still have to keep your hands on the wheel because of the touch sensors. The article states, "In fact, none of the cars developed so far are completely driverless." This statment shows there is still room for human error in these driverless cars.
Even though human error is still involved, these cars still can't go through construction areas or around wrecks but they still alert you when you come across it.
the prompt states, "But all are designed when the road requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around acciedents. this means the human driver must remain alert and be ready to take over when the situation requires." People are still needed to drive these cars, but we still have to do the hard part the old fashion way.
Even with accident warning, these cars are still not legal in some states like California and Nevada. For example, "As a result it is illegal even to test computer- driven cars. California, Nevada, Florida, and the District of Columbia have led the country in allowing limited use of semi-autonomous cars." They don't Think it's safe enough to be driven in highly populated areas.
These driverless cars are a hazard. even though they could be helpful in the future. In some way they seem to undertested amd people don't want to trust them. Manly because you would still have to pay attention to the road, still have to drive through construction and wrecks, and are technically still not fully legalised in some states like California, Nevada and Florida. With a bit more field testing these driverless cars could be one of our greatest achivements. But they won't be totally ready until 2020. | 2 |
Have you ever been driving a car and wish that the car would drive for you? I wish that almost every time I drive. Some manufacturers say that there will be driverless cars by the year 2020. I think driverless cars would be a very helpful aspect in life. Driverless cars would benefit not only drivers but the world around them in many ways.
Driverless cars have many benefits. If the car is driving for us, people would be able to text and drive without worrying about not watching the road. By people being able to text and drive without worry, less accidents will happen which could result in less deaths from automobile accidents each year. New or young drivers who are not as used to driving would feel safer with the car in charge and not themselves. They would be able to drive less worried and feel safer.
These car could potentionally help people with a disability that results in them not being able to drive. This could benefit them because the car would do the driving for them and they would be able to feel more independant and safer on the road. People with babies or young children in the car often get distracted by crying or temper tantrums or even the child wanting something while in the car. If the car drives for them they can tend to the child without worrying about not paying attention to the road and putting the child, theirs and other peoples lives in danger.
Driverless cars would benefit not only drivers but the world around them in many ways. These cars would be a major advance in technology. They would benefit everyone and not just a certain group of people. These cars could help reduce the amount of accidents each year and reduce the amount of deaths from cars. People would feel safer on the roads. Driverless cars are a good aspect to our lives. | 2 |
The challenge of Exploring Venus is a pretty big challenge. Venus is often referred to Earth's twin. Venus is the closest pranet to earth in terms of density and size. Venus and the Earth orbit the sun at different speeds. Venus is sometimes right around the corner in space, humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on this cloud-draped world. No spacecraft has survived the landing fo rmore than a few hours.
There are a lots of challeneges of landing on Venus. Like a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere. On other planets the temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit. This is 90 times greater than what we experience on the Earth. It's dangerous for people to land on venus because Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system, Even though Mercury is closer to our sun.
On Venus there are erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes. This is really dangerous for us to spend a lot of money on that then a lightning just hits us or something. Venus is a really dangerous planet if compared to the Earth. But scientist are still discussing further visits to its surface. It's because Venus may well once have been the most Earth-like Planet in our solar system. Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on Earth. The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters.
NASA has one particularly compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus. NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray. However, peering at Venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can only provide only limited insight on ground conditions because most forms of light cannot penetrate the dense.
There are a lot of dangers of going to Venus. But I think if we can land there we can have a chance of making that the second earth. Venus has a lot of reasons why people can't live there but they called it as the most likely planet that is closer to earth. | 2 |
I think the author is doing a pretty good job suppoting the idea of if studying Venus is
a worthy pursuit despiting the dangers. Venus is the second planet from our sun and it is challenging to examine Venus more closely the more challinging the more it is to do. Why it makes it challenging it is because we have sent numerous of spacecraft to land on Venus and each previous mission was unmanned, since no spacecraft survived the landing. Mybe this issue explains why not a single spacecrft has touched down on Venus in more than three decades. Most people say that Venus is a challenging plant to study. Venus is also very hot in temperature it is over 800 degrees fahrenheit. Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system. STrriving to meet the challeng presented by Venus has value, not onky because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors. It would be a blast if we studied Venus but we cannot because it is way hotter than one hundred degrees. | 1 |
We shouldn't have Electoral College for many reasons but a few main ones. First off it isn't fiar to voters, secondly it may cause riots, and finally they are basis.
If we continue Electoral College it is not going to give the votes a chance to be seen because the college can vote but the Electoral College is the main vote the country sees because the country always miss counts and have a smaller number if they miss count the percentage of votes can be impacted a lot more and with the 60 percent rule. and yes the College style of votining is used a lot today if we use one vote per state you see how you state votes and dont have to demand a recount because it was already counted for at state level and isn't needed at national level so we wont have a hard time counting everything.
This method of voting useing a few people to vote for
"our
" president is not the smartest thing the country has done and they prove to be wrong every four years becuse the amoust of prosteting will go up the more and more we make these mistakes when we lose votes or demand a recount 10 times or let the college vote for the people in the united states. So witch is it for the Constitution, are we for Amendment 1 with the freedom of speech and press so we can choose our own president or is it that we will all go for the 23rd amendment and go to letting the few people choose our countries fait for the next four years butr then equals the fait for as long as the United States is around free from other countries.
Finally our system of Electoral College is very basis toward whom ever gives them more money to their state or campains more there because we all know that the year leading up to the elections are just a popularity contest and they just are like trying to get prom king/queen everyone promises a vote if you give them something in return, it just happens to be the people who can run for president are very wealthy and can afford to give up a small fortune for a for sure vote to them. But on the other hand if you gave me money like that i would vote for you if i liked it or not and these Electoral College is pressured a little to vote for the person everyone arounf them wants.
If we got rid of the Electoral College system of voting i believe that we would have a better economy and and the voting system would give more varried results so we can get a more acurate way because it would be easy to get rid of a system of voting but very hard to bring one in to being a thing and we can't easly do that for the reasons of there is already one and that the hoops to jump though for D.C. to pass it. therefor i am aginst haviong the Electoral College and bring use Popular Vote for all states. | 1 |
In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile," the author describes how a new technology called the Final Action Coding System rnables computers to identify human emotions. Dr. Huang show varying degrees of expression not smiling nothing but Mona Lisa demostrate him is really good to bring a smille toyour face everyday she imagine how it would be to have a computer to know when you happy, sad, or angry like she says in paragraph 6 "if you smile when a Web ad appears on you screen,a similar ad might follow. but if you frown, the next ad will be different." Mona Lisa show them their is nothing to be sad or angry its much better having a happy face everyday insted of been mad everyday, your day would not be good you would be so bored and tired. so that's why is more better to be happy everyday of your life. sometimes you have problems but you need to keep going with your own life to be happy. and that's what Mona Lisa show Dr. Hung to become a happy man everyday not a sad and boring man or lonely. | 0 |
The 'Face' on Mars is made naturally. In 1976 we did not have
the technology that we have today.
The picture then was only a fraction of pixels that we have now. This allowed us to see the picture much more clearer. We saw that this was just a Mesa which is a lava dome. Mesa are very common in the Cydonia area side of Mars which this is located.
Plus why would N.A.S.A hide this from the public. N.A.S.A now needs funds that would benefits from this. A surplus amount of money would come in if N.A.S.A would have told the public that this was indded a alien monument to something and or that this was once life on cousin Mars. People would want to hear more, learn more about this. This would indeed reboost a Space program that was once on top of the economics stcuture in there respected work.
On April 5th in 1998 the Mars Orbiter Camera by Michael Malin took a picture that they posted on a JBL website. Many people where waiting to see what would have become of the higher solution picture of the 'Face'. Many where dissapointed when they found out it was just an natural landform.
Then on April 8th N.A,S.A checked the face again. Many conspiresters where ranting that there was indeed
alien markings on the 'Face'. So N.A.S.A went to the now known Mesa. They checked every square visble inch on it and still found no sign of alien life.
They said that this is very simalar to the states Middle Buttles located in Snakes River Plain in Idaho. So do you now still believe there is something out there that built a Mesa? | 2 |
Why is the world upgrading so fast? Living in a world that is upgrading by the day is like watching your son or daughter grow up from day one. Most people around the world want to upgrade one thing at a time and other people want to upgrade a hundred things everyday. What is the point of having driverless smarter cars? There isn't one. There are so many teens around the world that just can't wait until the day they get that special with there picture on it. Their licence. Yes, teens can be dangerous on the road;but still. I bet, when your was a tennager, you couldn't wait for that special day. Now, what teenager wants to grow up to not getting a licence and just being driven around by a driverless car? Nobody does.
We all know that guys who have nice lifted trucks or jeeps, they like to have fun with them. With driverless smarter cars you can't do none of that. What if something inside the car broke all the sudden and you couldn't do anything about it because it is a driverless car? "If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault-the driver or the manufacture?"(parragraph 9). Now, when there is a wreck on a highway or backroad, the world doesn't freak out about it. If the world started to buy driverless smarter cars and something like that happened because of the car malfunctining, the one who was injured will probably sew and world would stop buying them becuase they are scared it will happen to them. That wouldn't be good for that certain buissness.
The world shouldn't be upgrading as fast as it is now. Before, the world was upgrading but not as fast. The world should have kept it that way. At the rate we're going, by 2020, factories won't even make steering wheels anymore; because the world doesn't need them. "Mercedes-Benz, Audi,and Nissan plan to have cars that can drive themselves by 2020"(parragraph 10). If anything, cruise control is enough. I mean, nobody wants to drive a thousand miles while pushing on a gas pedal. Who can trust a driverless car and sleep while it drives you a thousand miles away? Not a whole lot. "Telsa has projected a 2016 release for a car capable of driving on autopilot 90 percent of the time'(parragraph 10).
Driverless cars are pointless. Who wants to be killed because of a car that drives itself when you could've just driven yourself and avoided what happened? Not me. In conclusion, if people around the world feel that they have a driverless car, then go for it. | 3 |
Do you ever wonder how amazing it is to study another planet. Do think of all the risks it takes? Well the author of "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" supports the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers by having a thick Atmosphere, shipping orbiting, and testing electronics made of silicon.
The first reason why it is challenging is that a thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide runs through Venus. In the passenge it states," on the planet's suface temperatures average over 800 degrees fahrenheit, and the atmosphere pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet. "This piece is important because it gives you an example of how the temperature is really high. Plus, the perfect temperature for a human is 98.
The second reason why it is competitive is that venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can provide only limited insight on the ground conditions. In the article it says," more importantly, researchers cannot take samples of rocks, gas, or anything else, from a distance." this explains how they can't be able to experiment things without there tools. This is challenging for them because they won't be able to do much. An example is that they won't be able to photograph and videograph ineffectively.
The third reason why they it is difficult is that some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in venus's suface. In the text it states, "modern computers are enormously powerful, flexable, and quick but tend to be more delicated when it comes to extreme physical conditions." This shows how technology from now can't be used in venus. In order for them to use technology is that they have to use those old computers from back in the 1940's.
In conclusion, This is how the author supports the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers by having a thick atmosphere, shipping orbiting, and testing electronics made of silicon. Being able to explore other planets are challenging. would you risk yourself just to go to explore another planet? | 3 |
Dear
State Senato r,
I think that the Electoral College should change to popular votes for the president and I have a few reasons why: When people vote for a president they are actually voting for the Electoral College and the Electoral College votes for the president themselves and sometimes the voters vote for the wrong canidate and the presindent they wanted to vote for might not win the election, Some states do not get to see their canidates or the election and don't know who to vote for. I think that voters should be able to vote who they want to run our country and not have the Electoral College decide for them. They have a voice and a mind to their own and I believe that we should have a say on who should be our president, our leader, someone who will stop ISIS and to stop terroists and bombings, someone who will pass laws that child abuse should be illegal. It can be argued that the Electoral Colleges method of selecting the president might turn off potential voters for a canidate who has no hope of carrying their state. Candidates have a winner-take-all system and its unfair because they do not spend time in states that they know will have no chance winning. I think that they should give them a chance, just because they think that they can;t win it doesn't make it tur, its more of their opinion. The Electoral College is unfair to voters, outdated, and irrational. The Electoral College won the popular vote but lost the presidency. The voters would prefer a direct election. | 2 |
Driverless Cars Are Coming
As technology evolves, there are better things that come into this world. Not only are the positive effects from a great technology, but there is also negative effects. Some technologies have more negative consequences than positive. One example of this includes driverless cars. Although they have not officially come out yet, they are still working on it. Tesla has projected a 2016 release for a car capable of driving on autopilot 90 percent of the time. Though it might be a great technology for the future, it might not be the best technology to release just yet. Having a driverless car has way to many negative effects. These negative effects include: it could cause an accident and no one is responsible, a person can not enjoy driving, and if we have driverless cars there will have to be new laws that have to be put on the cars that could take a long time and most people do not like waiting.
A new technology always has consequences. One consequence of having a driverless car is that when an accident happens no one is to blame for the accident. In the world there is always someone to blame. That is just how the world works. One day a driverless car hits someone with an actual driver. The world will still have regular cars because not all people can afford such a luxory as a driverless car. Who is the actual driver suppose to talk to if he or she gets hit? There might be no one in the car and what happens from there? If these cars get released, the owner should always be in the car just in case this situation happens. One might say that it is a driverless car for a reason. Where is the car suppose to go if no one is in it? The car has no where to be unless there is someone going to another place. This is just one negative effect of driverless cars.
Some people really enjoy driving their car. The new car smell and the feel of how the car moves against the pavement. The thrill of the speed and adrenaline that the car has. No one can enjoy these feelings if no one is driving the car. Driverless cars might have electronic intelligence, but they do not have any feelings toward what is actually going on. If the world switches over to driverless cars how is anyone suppose to enjoy racing? Racing might be boring to some, but it is not boring to others. Racing is one of the true American sports. People who drive cars for a living really enjoy driving. That is why they have the job. If driverless cars come out on the market, it will put millions of people out of a job and then they can not provide for their family. Having a car that people can drive is very important and if a company takes the joy of having a car and a job away from people, that will be wrong.
One more consequence of having this new technology will be new laws. Everything great always has to have laws and consequences. Just like anything else in the world, there will be restrictions. One important thing about passing a law is that it takes a long time to get it into actual power. Time is what no one has. Having patience is good, but in a society where everything is moving 100 miles per hour, this law will take to much time to get into action. These driverless cars will need to have many laws. These laws will have to state who is responsible for a crash the owner or the company, where these cars can be and not be, and who can actually be behing the wheel of the driverless cars. New technology can be good, but in this case having a driverless car is obviously not the best idea that America has ever had.
In conclusion, having a driverless car has way to many negative effects and consequences. From this article we know that if we take away the joys of driving, people will be upset and maybe they will be without a job. We also know that if there accident no one will be responsible and that is not human nature. The world just not work in this manner. Also, new laws will have to be put in place to keep the world safe and are own precious lives. Laws take a long time to pass and patience is not one of the best qualities that everyone might or might not have. To have the power to put in a technology so great in society is awesome, but knowing that people could lose their lives and the enjoyment of having is car is not something society needs. | 4 |
In the last few years vehicle emissions have been heating and even destroying our atmosphere. Cities and even whole countries are taking precautions to lower the amount of fuel emissons recorded in the air. It's not only that people are trying to cut back to help the enviroment they just arent driving as much anymore for some reason, even in areas that driving would be more useful than other forms of transportation. You may want to cut back after seeing why they did too.
In Germany there is a suburban city that has given up their use of vehicles. One of the local residents stated "When I had a car I was always tense, I'm much happier this way." You may not notice it but the hustle and bustle of everyday life and commuting may just be putting more stress on you. Cutting out personal commute will not only be making your life less stressful it will also help clear the air in some cities as well. Passenger cars are responsible for nearly 50 percent of greenhouse gasses in car intensive areas in the United States. Something as simple as not driving as often or cutting back totaly can help you and others.
In Bogota, the capital of Colombia it has been the third straight year of
Day Without Cars. Day Without Cars is one day that all Colombians hike,bike,skate,walk or took public tranportation to get to work. The goal of
Day Without Cars is to promote alternative transportation and reduce fines. A citizen talking part in the action stated "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution."
Now in America it has been recorded that Americans are buying fewer cars and getting less licences each year. The number of miles driven in the United States peaked in 2005 and have been slowly and steadily dropping after. Transportation is is the second largest source of emissions but you can help lower that. More and more people have been choosing alternative transportation than ever before. Also more people have left the sub-urban enviroment and moved to urban ones so alternative transportation is even more needed than before. Also whats the point of driving if you live near the place you work cutting down on emissions is one of the most important objectives right now.
Many great things can and have come by cutting down private transportation. It conserves resources, cuts down on emissions, and also improves safety. Multiple people say that commuting less has made thier lives less stressful than ever before. The amount of smog in cities have decreased, helping to get cleaner natural air those compact areas. Anything you can do to help make your lives easier you should and cutting down on emissions can help make that easier. | 2 |
Process or Place? This is a question you need to ask yourself. Yes, in my opinion, Electoral College is a good idea.
In the cases of having an Electoral College there are some up sides of this and some down sides. In an Electoral College it restores some of the weight in political balance. It also required a presidential candidate to have trans-regional appeal.
When an Electoral College restores th balance in some large states its a good thing. It states in this article that, " The popular vote was very close in Flordia, nevertheless Obama, who won that vote, got 29 electoral votes." This is stating that the large states votes becomes one.
Also, when this talks about how it requirs a presidential candidate to have trans-regional appeal is also a good thing. it says in this passage," No region has enough electoral votes to elect a president." Again this is saying that none of our votes get uncounted for, we are all counted as one.
Some might say that they dont know where their votes are going to but when you think about they are all going to the same place in one factor. | 1 |
One reason why you should know it was not created from aliens but is a natural landform is because they didnt have good cameras back then. An example is the first picrure they took was kind of blury and it was too far away so you couldn't really see anything. this example show that if it were clearer maybe we would have know along time ago. Another example is Moc team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the orginal Viking photo. This example shows that by cameras upgrading , we could see more closly and more clearer. My last and finale example the second picrure they took wasnt that blury but wasnt clear and was not too far but not close enough. This finale example shows how during this photo cameras where not at there best but not at there worst they were in the middle. These example show how cameras effected the photo. | 1 |
Making Mona Lisa Smile
The use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in the classroom is valuable. To tell how someone is feeling whether or not they are using facial expressions with a computer is kinda of a cool thing. Although, some people just have a straight face and not feeling any type of way. But, in a way it might be weird to others.
Imagine a computer telling you how you feel at that moment and trying to help you feel better. So COOL right! " The computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles." That was created by Dr. Huang that now just relies on the psychologists. Also, the text states, " Dr. Pual Eckman, creator of FACS (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." The invention was a very smart invention. If they can brighten someones day, it'll make the world so much happier. Knowing people are always on there phone when they are upset or angry or, evening smiling, that is by far the greatest idea. The text also states, "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored," Dr. Huang predicts. Then it could modify the lessons, like an effective human instructor." Also, "According to the Facial Feedback Theory of Emotion, moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions, but also may even produce them." That is amazing progress and who ever would of thought something like this could be done. I believe you could get alot of things done faster, because being bored, confused mad or upset while trying to do work you really dont want to. So something that'll chnge your facial expression to happy is wonderful. Think about all the positivity.
Now. some people like there privacy and dont like sharing or telling peoiple what the problem his. Alot of people are blank faced or like to fake a smile and go on about their day. The text states, "Of course, most of us would have trouble actually describing each facial trait that conveys happy, worried,etc." In the meaning of sometimes we dont know how we feel, again sometimes we juist want to be left alone in a situation and figure it out ourselves. The text also states, "Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication," notes Dr. Huang. " So computers need to understand that too." So, theres not of lot of back up for this invention being a bad idea, but you have to look at it both wyas. There are really some privite people out there who aren't in the mood to be happy or people who are antisocial and doesnt use computers oe cell phones. They live old school, many wiould have never known about this invention.
In conclusion to Making Mona Lisa Smile, being happy is the number 1 key to life, whether it seems or feels like it. With someone trying to make you happy you feel special , just think you dont have anyone but a computer to rely on, you think to yourslf well what can a computer do to help me. Then coming to find out it can do just as muc as a person can but not physically.
It's a great inventiona and could be very successful. | 3 |
Many people know what a car can do but do they know how it can affect the environment. Places like Germany or Paris are having a car free environment. Cars release carbon and that gets struck in the atmosphere and can cause environmental damage. With the limiting of car usage, fatcors like environmental damage will decrease.
First of all, a suburb area in Germany have ban cars. Vauban, Germany have given up on their cars. People there doesn't have the need to drive a car. That means the stores are in walkable distant. Studied from David Goldberg stated that "the official Transportation for America are now less dependent on cars." The reason to that isEnvironmantal Protection Agency is promoting car reduced communities.
Going on, Paris had enforce a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city since Paris is near the record for pollution. The way Paris enforce the rule is by placing a fine on the people who drives on that day with a 22-euro($31). About 4000 driver was fined due the banning of driving. With that done the percent of air pollution drop a rewarding percent. The event was so successful to clear the smog, Paris decide to rescind the banning.
Lastly, some study show that the era for car are nearly end. "In the year 2005 United States reached the peak for the number of miles driven.", according to analysis Doug Short of Advisor Perspectives. After that the number of miles driven have drop nine percent in 2013. This have a beneficial affect on the carbon emissons that si released into the environment.
This can help people around the world know the whats happening and think about driving cars. The decrease in the carbon release by cars in the atomosphere can all saved the environment. | 1 |
After reading "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," it's clear there are pros and cons to the exploration of Venus. The author clearly and concisely explains how very challenging and furthur more dangerous it is to explore Venus. However the author shows how much he believes that it is a worthwhile scientific endeavor.
Within "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" the author at one point takes great focus on how similar Earth is to Venus. "Venus is the closest plant to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too." The reason as to why the author included this information, is to clarify how scientific research accumulated from Venus can be valueable to our earthly knowledge. For example from a geological standpoint, studying the rocks of Venus could give insight on how long Earth will be habitable, and what awaits at the end. The author gives us an example on a possible way on researching Venus within its' confines. "Imagine a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the Venusian landscape." The fact the author goes as far as to reference ideas on how researchers can explore Venus, very well illustrates the author's fondness of the idea. However, there is some evidence to support that the author is not completely on board with some things regarding the exploration of Venus. "However, peering at Venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can provide only limited insight on ground conditions because most forms of light cannot penetrate the dense atmosphere..." In this example, specifically the idea of a research "blimp" clearly doesn't quite satisfy the author.
In conclusion, the author definitely supports the idea of exploring Venus. Within the article, the author shows in great detail of the possibility. The author also shows the benefits to an extent. However the author does favors some methods over others, the author is completely in support of further exploration despite the challenges. | 3 |
Me being a scientist is that the face was made by a natural landform in that it has nothing to do with aliens.the face has become a pop icon in it was starred in a hollywood film it appeared in books,magazines,radios and even was in talk show it was like the face became popular.some people think the face is a bona fide evidence of life on mars and others still thinking it got something to do with aliens.so that they did researches on the face as soon as the could get a close image of it.in on april 8,2001 a hot summer day in cydonia mars global surveyor drew close enough for a second look.in that the lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the face that on mars.in that the NASA unveiled the image for all to see that the caption noted a "huge rock formation ...wich resembles a human head mouth in a nose. | 0 |
It is 2018, everything is changing from our clothes, media, social norms, etc. Scientists are moving closer to become independent of labor and moving more towards technology. First it was the car, then phones, now facial action coding system. In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" written by Nick D'Alto, the idea of having technology to do decode what emotion you are feeling is central to popular belief. The idea that a camera with a few buttons would be able to tell how you are feeling is absolutely impeccable. The everyday use of technology should not become normal. This society needs to know that soon enough everything will be controlled by technology.
The article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" has many ideas that I do not agree with. Starting with the fact that putting a facial action coding system in a classroom will be the same as if an effective teacher were to be there. The demonstration of this system itself seems very interesting, but only in the right place and the right time. In paragraph six Doctor Huang explains "Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication" this mean that the computer will be there physically but will rarely give any verbal or emotional communication. Putting this in a classroom full of students and having it code their emotions is not only a crime to teachers everywhere but also to the students. Not only do the students need someone physically to be there, they also need someone to model for them. All students have different ways of learning. If the students who learn by the teacher modeling, they won't be doing very good with the computer.
Not only do the students need a teacher there as a figure to respect and trust, but they also need their own privacy. Doctor Huang states "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored" this is not necessarily a good thing. If the computer is watching their every move and facial or emitonal expression they would feel like they are constantly being watched. This is a feeling the children should not be exposed to at an age where you are just being a kid. If the students are being watched, they are then mainly apart of a science experiment that they did not agree to and that is not right.
The final reason why this computer would not be effective with the kids is that there is a liability factor when it comes to putting one of these in your classroom. You have to think about what the parents' will have to say. Doctor Huang also includes "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." this means that the computer is watching every single move you do while you are searching the web. The camera is turned on and who knows if a person might be watching you through the other end. Many parents or even potential buyers may not want this from new technology.
In conclusion, technology will be apart of our everyday lives whether we like it or not. The different types of technology that we use is what we can control. The Facial Action Coding System is the type of technology that students and teachers should steer clear of. Technology may be able to do cool things, but that doesn't mean it doesn't come at a price. | 4 |
Luke's point of view convincing others to participate in the seagoing cows program.
Luke did not know that when he grauated from high school it will become hard. He has to work two part time job to get money to buy his own stuff.
So one day his friend asked him to go to Europe with him he could not say no because it was a big opportunity of a lifetime.
In 1945 world war two was over in Europe and many countries were left in ruins. To help these countries recover there food supplies animals and more 44 nations joined together to help these people get all the things they need and all they supplies they need to help the animals thats why Luke and Dan sign up to help the animals and peole to get better and get the stuff they need to survive.
Thats why Luke and this friend Dan wants you to be in the seagoing cowboy group beacuse wants you to learn how to help other and do somethink nice just to do it and just to give because giving is nice beacause some people in that country like i said dont have food supplies now if you help them get that they will have enough to feed kids themselfs and others that dont have food. | 1 |
Have you ever wanted to travel over seas to amazing countries, but still need a job? If so and if not you should participate in the Seagoing Cowboys program. In the program,you get to do a lot of fun things over seas.
If you are in the program,you get to go to amazing countries. These countries may include Europe, China, Greece, and wherever else they need you. In the story it stated that Luke, (me) , a Seagoing Cowboy, toured an excavated castle in Crete and marveled at the Panama Canal on my way to China. It was very fun to stay at the countires and to look at the amazing views as we went through.
In the program, you not only get to travel to amazing places, but you also get to help people and animals too. The UNRRA hired the "Seagoing Cowboys" to take care of the animals and people. We sail overseas with the animals and take care of them until we can get it to the people.
On the way back, the Seagoing Cowboys get to have a lot of fun playing games. We play baseball, volleyball,etc. We also do boxing,fencing,and other tournaments like those. We do this to pass the time on the way back and for all the hard work we have done over that time period we were helping the animals.
In the story it states that once on a trip I had a near death experience trying to help the animals on the ship. Although this is true, this event is very unlikely to happen, and I am still safe due to a piece of metal coming in my way to save me.
You or a family member should become a Seagoing Cowboy. You get to not only help people and animals, but you also get to travel through amazing countries, and get to have fun on the way back. The Seagoing Cowboys help a lot of people and it is very fun, and for those reasons you should become one of us, or better known as a Seagoing Cowboy. | 3 |
Throughout the years we have been seeing many improvements to our technology from making computors to making global tracking devices that can show us where we are. Also in those years of improvement in techonology, the advancement to make cars driverless have been set to mind by manufacturers and other people who have the idea of having driverless cars. In my mind this is undoubtely in our future, for our technology never ceases to stop improving day by day.
There are a substantial of others that think this too. This idea hasn't come out just now, but has been around for sometime now, one who shares this is Google cofounder Sergey Brin with his envisions of driverless cars taking total control of any situation thrown at the car while on the road. They've actually been making cars that could drive independently under "specific conditions" since 2009 that have already traveled more than a million miles without crashes. These cars have special tech that allows them to sense their surroundings in a 3-D area around the car which transcripts to the cars central processor and take heed of the necessary actions. The LIDAR isn't the only piece of equipment on these driverless cars, they also include radar sensors, GPS reciever, and inertial motion sensors; making them compatible in most practical ways when driving on the road. The technology of driverless cars hasn't reached full potential yet and these cars still at times require people to react and be alert to unexpected conditions like accidents that happened on the road. Improvements to technology have been finding ways around this block though and it isn't stopping there either. Creating Antilock brakes, Traffic jam assistants, and even camera's that watch the driver to know if he's aware and if not, alert them to be aware.
Technology has come a long way from what it was in the beginning of the 2000's. Now our tech is even a part of our daily lives in just about many of the things we do. People denying driverless cars are really just denying advancment in our technology. But technology always improves, and so will driverless cars, for they are a part of that advancement. | 2 |
In today's growing world to many it may seem as if living without a car would be impossible. Our ever evolving lifestyles and cultures though may prove otherwise. Across the globe it is becoming more likely for people to leave their car at home, and walk opposed to driving a short commuit. The benefits of this decision are incredibly impactful on the enviorment, improving human health and saftey, as well as on our, the people's bank accounts. Becoming a society nonrelient on cars will prove not to be easy, but justifiable when those three points are taken into account.
The effect that cars have on the enviorment is no suprise to most. If you turn on most news channels, global warming is talked about by the hour. Thus proving drastic measures need to be taken to secure our planet's future. What better way of doing so then by reducing the amount of greenhouse gas emitted into the atmosphere. Source one line five states "Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe... and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States." The article goes on to state in line seven our lives being centered around the use of cars will have to change. Our planet needs it's inhabitors to treat it with the same respect people do to the dignified, and a car free world is one way to do so.
By decreasing the number of people using cars as their mode of transportation good health and safety will soon be boosted across the globe. The effect of walking instead of drving will decrease obesity and increase positive moods. According to source one line 3 Heidrun Walter believes she is much happier and less tense without a car. If she a working women and mother of two can live without a car I find many other people could find ways to also. Limiting the use of cars would not only improve health but safety. By limiting cars you limit the amount of possible accidents. Whether an accident results from carelessness, accident, or intoxication there is no arguing the fact they take many innocent lives daily. By reducing the amount of car usage this will no longer be a major factor in the premature deaths of people. According to all four sources the idea of leaving cars parked in the garage at home, or choosing to live a car free lifestyle is catching on now more than ever. Personally I hope we soon have healthier, safer pedestrians.
In today's economy money is tight. People looking to save a dollar will justify almost all reasoning to do so. Throughout the world many countries have decided to become less relient on cars. By making cities more compact people are finding it very possible to live a life without cars. Imagine cutting the price of not only a car, but car insurance and gas out of your life. I can promise you your wallet would thank you. Source four line 35 states "We are witnessing a long term culture shift." The internet has made it possible to connect with friends and family without meeting face to face and because of this the use of cars is rapidly declining. Source four also states many of America's youth are declining the possiblity to be licesnced and drive. Suprisingly enough Mr. Sivak, a socialogist's children do not drive; their ages being in the early twenties. This is yet more proof of our ever evolving lifestyles.
Fellow citizens, at times our lives can deal us many unexpected difficulties that make living in this day and age problematic. Cutting out the use of cars however would not be one of them. Deciding against the use of cars would impactful the enviorment, improve human health and safety, and our bank accounts from draining. All four sources prove the possiblity of a car free society throughout the entire world. So my question to you is why not stop using cars now? The world and your future self will surely thank you. | 4 |
The author of this article makes some very good points to supporting the idea of studying Venus or also know as Earth's "twin" planet. In their article they talk about how Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size. While it seems like a great idea to think about the planet to visit in the future, it's atmosphere and enviroment is lethal. It's thick atmosphere is about 97 percent carbon dioxide and most challenging is that Venus's clouds are highly corrosive sulfuric acid and the planet's average temperatures ranges over 800 degress Fahrenheit. Never the less, Astronomers are deterimned to study the planet even if it means getting up close and personal. By study what they could, NASA is determinded to find solutions and oppritrunities to study the planet for near future visits to the planet for humans. Even though the challenge presented by Venus has value, but its a cost that is worth for future space explorations and travels. | 1 |
"Let's keep moving forward". Walt Disney harped at the advancement of entertainment and technology in the world and constantly reminded everyone to keep moving forward in their lives and to keep an open mind with new technology. Just like with some of Diney's crazy inventions one must try the new before denying them. The Facial Action Coding System would be considered one of the new technologies that one must keep an open mind to trying. There are many useful ways that this system could help out masses worldwide. It could help between the language barrier, in courtrooms with lie detectors, and most importantly classrooms. The use of the Facial Action Coding System is very valuable and needs to be spread throughout classrooms across the globe.
Students' are very different from one another. That includes their friends, their style, their personal values, and their work in shcool. With this system it will make it extremely easier for teachers to help students' education flow a lot smoother. As said in paragrah 6, "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is beocming confused or bored". This recognition could allow the computer to modify the lesson without the teacher having to take time out of their busy schedule to do so. It will also benefits students who are scared to approach teachers' with their education problems because they might become embarrassed. By using this method with the Facial Action Coding System graduation rates may increase as well as classroom productivity through the help of the lesson modifications.
Another reason the Facial Action Coding System should be widely encourged is it could help a teacher build a better relationship with the students. As said in paragraph 4, "The facial expressions for each emotion are universal". This means that when any student is having emotional stuggles their teacher could be notified by the system. This would allow the teachers to become more aware of their students' outside lives so that the teacher could help the student if needed. Doing so, a stonger trust factor could be built between the student and teacher creating a more productive classroom all together.
Some may say that this system would be an invasion of privacy for the students, but this is not much different than being able to tell how one feels by just examining their expression by oneself. This system advances the technology of facial examination only. It assists others in being able to distiguish one's feelings at the moment. Going a little deeper in the student's life may actually benefit them more than it would invade on them. The system could allow the students to recieve the help they really need by delving a little deeper than a normal human would be able to.
This system could be seen as an insane new technology that some may be afraid of, but to make progess in the world one must open their mind and accept the new to help millions around the world. The Facial Action Coding System could help a plethora of sutdents and teachers with their relationship and trust as well as the students' educations and also the teachers' careers. This system could be the new big thing in the technological advancement of schools, and it will allow more people to succeed in life and create a better future for everyone surounding them. | 5 |
For many people, including myself, we have days when we are happy, optomistic, and just in a good mood for whatever reason. Then we have days where are sad, pesemistic and overall just in a bad mood.
On paragraph eight of this paasage it states that faces don't lie. while I do think that is true I do not think we are at a point where this technology can be accurate enough for us to be able to determine our emotions. Although I do not think it is accurate right now I do believe that in the future technology will able to accurately read our faces and find our emotions and this article shows why and how it is possible.
The first way that this passage shows us how emotion reading is possible is by bringing us an example in paragraph one of the Mona Lisa. The paragraph says that she is 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry. This example right here is meant to show us how the technology can work but brings us more questions that we hopfully get answers for. In paragraph three lots of backround information is given to us so that we can get an idea on how they were able to determine what the emotions of the girl in painting are. the author talks about the main emotions humans show and how technology can now allow us to mimick the muscles that humans have in their face and the movments they can make. In paragraph four the author elaborates a bit more on the technology and how it can be used to search for those mixed emotions. The author cites quotes from Dr. Huang, one of the main people behind the project, in order to give insight to the readers who may not fully belive that reading emotions through technology is possible. In paragraph five it states that if everday normal humans can also read at the very least the basics of human emotions based on how a human looks. It could most certainly be possible for a computer to do it but better as well. In paragraph six Dr. Huang talks about the possible futures this technology can go with more advances. He says that if your computer can read your emotions it can help a student with their homework or exlcude ads that do not appeal to that person. He also discusses about how versatile the technology is and that it can be used in order to improve the facial exressions for characters in video games while maintaining a more realsitic look that many video games have. In the last two paragraphs it shows how you can try to recognize some emotions yourself like a computer would.
I do think that this technology will go somewhere and has the potential to be able to with the rate that it is going. Being able to read the emotions of the girl in the Mona Lisa is already an impressive accomplishment. For the time being we will have to wait and see where it goes but I know that I as well as many others are very excited to see when this type of technology will be integrated with everyday life. | 1 |
Waking up early on a Monday morning is already horrible, but the traffic is worse. Imagine a car that could drive for you, while you can relax. Sounds great, only your self driving car doesn't drive through traffic, roadwork, or accidents. Throughout the last decade many car companies have developed prototypes of "driverless" cars, though none are really driverless, in some states they are illegal to drive, and have many safety concerns, developing this car would make humans lazier than we already are. This "driverless" car would cause more harm than good, by creating this car we are inabling humans.
These cars are still developing, to respond to the varying safety regulations that need to be made for this model. Foremost they want to adress the saftety aspects of when the car needs the human to take over. Although this car is said "driverless" in certain situations such as, when pulling in or out of driveways, responding to traffic issues, driving through roadwork, and accidents. This feature of the car puts many people off. When they hear a driverless car they expet a car where their presence is not needed to steer through traffic. Though the car has many sensors to navigate through traffic, it is still necessary for the human to drive through obsticals. The sensors being used are suppose to mimic a human's driving skills, then why can it not navigate through traffic, without the use of a human?
To many these cars may still seem as a good investment, but what about the government? Driving laws are written for the mindset of a human. "As a result, in most states it is illegal to even test computer-driven cars." (Driverless Cars Are Coming) States such as, California and Flordia have allowed limited use of 'semi-autonomus' cars. Once the safety of the cars is superb it is expected that more states will follow their lead. Also, the question of, whose fault is it for an accident? For cars that include the help of a human to navigate through some situations, it could be blamed on the human. Yet, for cars that are the sole drivers, and do not require a humans assistance, accidents could be blamed on the manufacturer. This could create many law suits and conflicts between automobile companies that produce these cars and the owners.
Waking up to drive in traffic may be annoying, but it is safer than trusting a "driverless" car. With the safety problems yet to be fixed, laws prohibiting the usage, and the need for humans to still pay attention, it makes for the driverless car to be undesirable to most. These cars may improve in the future but, I am still against their production. | 3 |
Using this type of technology of emotional expressions will be very useful for teacher and parents to help their students or children to see if something or someone is making them feel happy, angry, disgusted, or feared. Having this technology in schools will also help parents because the parents don't have to buy a computer that can try to handle this type of technology.
If teachers do a test on students that are getting bulied or getting picked on, this type of technology will help teacher get students to speak up and or find the person that is bullys other students. By showing the student that's getting pick on a picture of students the teacher thinks who maybe the person bulling the student, the student may make a fear face on the picture of the person that is picking on the student.
If teachers see that a student is failing their classes and don't talk a lot in school, the teachers can make a test on that student to see if they are going through things back at home. Teachers can have the students parents to come to the school while the student is being tested, they can have a converation on what makes the student angry or depressed about.
Those are some example why I think this type of technology can really help teachers and parents learn about their students or children that they don't want to speak of. This can also help parents that can't afford this type of technology at home and having this technology at school, parents can bring their children to the school and have them get tested on what's bothering them at school or home. | 2 |
lmithing car usage is a bad thing or a good thing ? here are some of the reson why i think that limithing car uasge is a good thing to do .
reason one why i think limithing car uasge is that we wont have to pay for gas alot more then we have to casue we wont be usage are cars . some cars got good gas milege but some cars dont have that and we cant forget are diesel trucks owners they dont have good milege and diesel is expensive to its like $100 or more dollars to fill up you diesal truck.
second reson why i think we should limit car uasge is so we wont be lazy go out and go for a walk with your family or a bike ride , hicking also skate something just to enjoy the day and the nice weather . do what BOGOTA, colombia they had a car free day that only buses and taxi where on the road . so they can take the buses or taxi to work or where ever they wanted to go and if you where driving on the street with your car you would be fined $25 . its also good why to take stress away you wont have to worry about being late or being stuck in traffic or you car wont start .
last reson why i think we should limit car usage is that we can lower the air pollution like beijing,china they are know as one of the most polluted cities in the world cause they have some many citizens living there so at least half or more have cars.
thats why i think we should limit car usage cause we dont have to pay for gas and diesal also so we wont be lazy and get out of the house go out ride a bike, go walking ,skate something to just take away the stress of all the traffic and last be no least so we can lower the air pollition . | 2 |
Technology has evolved in many ways over the years. Yes, this technology may be very good for our expanding environment yet do we really know the real cost technology may bring us? Does auto-driving cars seem right when there`s everyday hazardous drivers out in the world?
In my perspective I`ve already seen on news, on the internet and in my own eyes cars and automobiles get torn up or pummeled together just because they forgot a turn or they didn`t stop at the right time. These cars may have innovated warning signals to alert the driver but what would happen if the warning was to late? Would we lose lives and supply that cars/trucks may be bringing? I rather have the least outdated technology then suffer a live and food or clothing that could`ve helped me and others.
The cost of making cars that self drive may just be hundreds of dollars just to make a specific part thats needed in the vehicle. Maybe all together. But the real cost is those that may suffer injurys of a unexpected accident. They probably just lost themselves money that couldve been better spent. Perhaps other people may not mind that they lost a valuable car and can throw money like its nothing. But they don`t know the impact it has on themselves and others.
If anything were to happen who will the law punish? Those that were in the car or those that it exist in the first place? It has already been declared that their are some states that banned any self-driving cars. I as a single person respect that. But, is it enough to let more states and cities still trying to invent/improve cars that can auto-drive?
If its woth getting in accidents, losing money and maybe even losinga whole business then lets hope the new and improved self-drive car can make it into the future. In other words disaster is soon to come and I never would have thought that technology was meant to hurt others. | 2 |
As we should know, "the Electoral College is a process not an actual place. It serves as a compromise of the presidential election in Congress and by popular vote" (paragraph 1). It can be good at times but most times it has its downfalls. The Electoral College doesn't allow for a direct election compared to popular vote. Also, there isn't a fair number of votes for each presidential candidate per state. If there is a tie in the electoral voting process it can cause a big disaster. I don't believe that anyone wants constant problems when choosing a leader. To avoids all of the problems why not take the Electoral College out overall?
First of all, the Electoral college isn't a direct election. "Under the electorial college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president." (Paragraph 10). In actuality, voters don't directly vote for the president when it comes to the electoral college. Although the Electoral College "restores some of the weight in the polititcal balance that large states lose by virtue of mal-apportionment", (paragraph 21) voters don't have the right to control whom their electors are said author Bradford Plumer. Voting for a group of electors doesn't always mean that they'll vote for the candidate in which you favor. This can have a huge affect on the reputation of the Electoral College itsself.
It's not only an indirect election but it's also an unfair election. The number of entitled electors per state is based upon the members of the state's congressional delegation. "One for each member in the House of Representatives plus two for your senators." (paragraph 3). This is unfair because the number of "House" members is based on the states overall population compared to the amount of senators. It may somehow be good for the residents who beleive their votes doesn't count becasue of the candidate's regional appeals but what about those who fear that their electors won't choose the candidate in which they favor.
Not only is it indirect and unfair, but it can cause disaster to arise if there is a tie within the electoral voting process. If there is a tie in the in the electoral vote "the election would be thrown to the House of Representatives" (paragraph 12). This is an unfair method also becasue now there's only one vote per state and some states have a higher population than others which can and will cause contreversy in the public. "The pressure, which would greatly complicate the presidential election process, may be redcued" (patagraph 22) but it still doesn't reduced the fact that swing voters can cause catastrophe within the electoral voting process. This is because they are the most targeted voting areas due to their reputations as the "most thoughtful voters".
All in all, the Electoral college has both its good things and their downfalls. As can be seen the bad out ways the good in this situation. A voters vote isn't necessarily direct because they aren't voting on a single representative, they are voting on a group of individuals in which they believe will vote for the candidate in which they choose. Also, being that the number of electors is based on a state's number of congressional represenatives it is an unequal and unfair number of electors per state. The electoral college can even cause an uproar if a tie ever falls in place because the "tie breaker" is left in the hands of the House of Representatives. Basically "the electoral colleg is unfair, and irrational" (paragraph 14) and it should be abolished because there is a great amount of mix ups and failures within the system itself. | 4 |
A lot of people probably don't think of computers being able to identify peoples emotions. This technology is new. Some people would think it is super cool and some people would think it is strange. This new technology might be useful. This technology to read emotional expressions of students is very valuable.
This new techonology could help detect how a student is feeling in a class. The computer could detect how they feel by scanning their facial expressions. For example, in the text it says, "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored..." This quote shows that the computer could detect the students emotions and how they are feeling. This could help the teacher make the class a little bit more exciting. This new technology could benefit in new ideas. This quote also shows the teacher could help the student because they are confused.
Some people might not like to express their feelings. They might really be confused and need help but don't want to be embarassed. A person could be sad and need someone to talk to but wont speak up. For example, In the text it says, "Imagine being able to detect exactly how other people are feeling, even when they are trying to hide their emotions". This quotes helps support the idea of people hiding their feelings and not saying anything. This quote shows that this new technology will be able to detect how someone is really feeling by their facial expressions even though they aren't talking.
This technology to read emotional expressions of students is very valuable. This new technology is super beneficial. It could help in classrooms and in peoples lives. This new technology might be the new big thing. It can be very helpful. It is a great idea. | 2 |
The future technologies are improving, and the driverless car becomes popular these days. People dream about driving without the driver; car of course, taxi, bus, train, and air plane. It can bring us convenience. A lot of companies already started working on their driverless vehicles project, it will take huge part of the market in the future.
Driverless car can lead our future technology. It seems useful and practical. However, everything has their pros and cons, so does driverless car. In my opinion, driverless car can't driving without the driver, but it can help drivers drive easily and safely. Here is my articles to support my opinion.
First, it can ruin people's job. A lot people make money from working in the transportation company, if driverless car gets popular, nobody will need a taxi driver or a bus driver anymore. Pilots of trains and planes will no longer needed as well. It is hard to get a job these days even if you graduate the decent college, the driverless car will make this worse.
Second, the sensors and auto systems can help the drivers to drive, but it can't control all process of driving. Sometimes the computer doesn't work properly as our desktops or laptops do, it can cause errors any time. Sometimes driving needs human's ability, especial it's a sudden situation.
Third, the problem of responsibility. For example, if your driverless car hits the person in front of you, it is ambiguous to figure out who has the responsible for the accident. The car company, and the customers will argue to blame each other.
Driverless car can bring convenience to us. It seems very helpful, but it also has obivous problems. People are improving technologies right now at this time as well. But the important thing is people should think more carefully of pros and cons of the future technologies rather than just chasing the benefit in front of them. | 2 |
This technology could be useful for students in a classroom. A reason this technology could be helpful is because students might get bored in a classroom. This technology could detect that the students are bored. With this technology a teacher can give them an assignment to were the students are no longer bored.
This technology can help the learning process because students dont learn when they are unhappy are even angry.
The Facial Action Coding system would improve test scores, learning process and much more. In the text it states how moving you face can improve your emotions, "Accoriding to the Facial Feedback Theory of Emotions. moving your facial muscles not only expresses emotions,but also may even help produce them. So if a student is unhappy and the Facial Action Coding System detects it, a teacher can help the student with the problem that is making the student unhappy or try to undertand why the student is unhappy and just put a smile on the student's face to make them happy so they can procced on with their work and duties.
If this technology can read the emotions of a painting, then is most definetly can read the emotions of a human student. This technology can be the beginning to student learning for every student sad or happy. This technoloy can really bring out the improvement teachers have been looking for. | 2 |
Would you let students read eachothers emotions in a classroom? I will be addressing why this may be valuble to students, or even to the whole school and why it may not be valuble.
The first thing i want to talk about is how it can be benificial to the Students. What if your close friend or even a teacher isn't acting their usual self. You can't quite figure out what the cause may be with them. And instead of asking, you could see what their emotion is through technology. If it shows up that they're sad you can figure out a way to encourage them to talk about whats going on. Or you can just figure out a way to cheer them up with out knowing their personal life. Or you could see if the person is just plain tired. So checking their emotions can also help you to understand that it may not even be you. They may be exhausted after a long day. So then you learn not to take things so personal.
A reason it may not be Valuble is people just need privacy. Maybe someone is upset over something personal that has happened in their life. I feel like if you do use the techology on the wrong person, it could set them off and lead them to being more irritable. Some people like to handle their emotions in different ways. Even if that means doing it in peace with no interuptions.
In conclusion, I feel that it depends on the situation in a school or town. It depends if you actually know the person, or if the person likes to be left alone or not. Everyone deserves privacy. So if schools were to do so, I suggest getting contracts to see who would be up for it and who wouldn't | 1 |
dear state senator, i believe that we should abolish the electoal college and just leave up to populare vote. The electoral college should be abolished because it is unfair, and it poses a threat to the U.S constitution.
The electoral college is unfair because it takes away the demicratic way of society that our founding fathers set up. In the United States of America we leave it up to the people to vote but if the people of the united states vote someone in an he doesnt get to run the country because the electoral college decided diffrently then we should not be called a democracy. For example in the 2000 election with Al Gore and Gorge W. Bush, the people of the united states voted for Al Gore, but due to the electoral college Bush won the election. in the passage The Indefensible Electoral College it says "Over 60% of voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now." what does that tell you? more then half of the USA would prefer a people vote instead of both!
Furthurmore, I believe we should due away with the electoral college because it poses a threat to the U.S constitution. when i say this i mean it is a threat to the citizens of the USA. the people of the united states were thought to vote our president in? but if the majority of voters vote for someone an the other oponent wins then where is the domocracy in that? also in the artical The Indefensible Electoral College says "oh what if a state sends two slates of electors to congress? it happened in hawaii in 1960. Luckily, vice president Richard Nixon, who was presiding over the senate, vatlidated only his opponent's electors." imagin if that happens again an someone doesnt notice that? then there will be double slaters an there bound to vote for the same canidate so that will be an easy state to win for that canidate. The electoral college is nothing but problems.
In conclution, The electoral college should be abolished because it is unfair, and it poses a threat to the U.S constitution. You make your conclution based on this Mr. senator | 3 |
Everyone know cars are bad for the environment, but it is also bad for you. It ruins our planet and stresses us out.
To begin with limiting cars can help our environment. According to the passage "Car-Free Cities" cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emmissions just in Europe. By limiting cars that 12 percent can go to a 6 percent or mabe lower. To add to that cars make a very big amout of smog. In the passage " Paris Bans Driving Due to Smog" it says " Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France after five-days of intensifying smog." that has to be a huge amount of smog fo congestion to be down 60 percent! Most of that smog id made by cars. To limit cars is to limit Pollution.
In addition cars bring people down. In the passage " Car-Free Cities " they ban cars one of the citizens, Heidrun Walter, a media trainer said "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way,". As you can tell with no cars she is a happier person. Not only that but, in the passage "Car-Free Day is Spinning Into a Big Hit in Bogota" businessman Carlos Arturo Plaza said " It's a goo opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution," saying bye to cars helps ake away stress.
In conclution, getting rid off cars is a great way to relive stress and fix our environment. Car only pollute our air and gives us stress, without cars will do much better! | 2 |
To just put it bluntly, the Electoral College is a huge waste of time and pointless processing. It is completely unfair to the voters, who most of the time feel as if they're voicing their opinion for no reason since it doesn't even get taken into consideration. The whole concept of the electoral college in it's entirety is irrational.
Some people want to be part of this country and participate in one of it's biggest most known events, choosing the president but with the electoral college in our way like a stone wall preventing us from voicing our opinions makes it slightly impossible. Although I must state that the Electoral College does help avoid run-off elections according to source 3 by Richard A. Posner, parahgraph 22. This country is practically split into halves, meaning if two canidates won by popular vote but each had around the same percentage of votes the Electoral College would choose an obvious winner avoiding run-off elections and not complicating things further. That still doesn't change the fact of how unfair it is to the voters.
"Abolish the electoral college!" said by Bob Dole in source 2 by Bradford Plumer. Yes I agree, abolish it, tear it down to smithereans, bury it into the ground never to resurface again. The electoral college is like planning a family trip, the youngest sister wants to go to Ohio while her brother wants to go to California, they tell the oldest sister of these two location ideas and the sister goes off telling the mom to go to New York, completely ignoring the other two suggestions. In this scenario the two youngest children are the citizens while the oldest sister is the electoral college, thus making the electoral college irrational, injustice, and unfair. It can be argued that the electoral college does help in some aspects like the certainty of outcome described in source 3 by Richard A. Posner, paragraph 18. But some certainty doesn't go a long way, there can be various faults in this certainty.
In my very argued opinion the electoral college is an outdated system usually old men like to stick to because they're afraid of change. Change is good, especially change that can pave the way to choosing better presidents and giving citizens more of a voice in our country, some of us just need a little nudging. Get rid of this annoying process, in with the new and out with the old. | 2 |
I argue in changing the electoral college , popular vote would be a chance for normal americans to get there voice heard in the government. A big problem is how the voters votes go straight to the electoral college and wouldnt make a change at all also how theres a bigger chance of a tie happening in the electoral college then by popular vote
One reason why the electoral college should go is because the voters votes arent really being heard. For example in paragraph 10 it says that ' under the electoral college system voters vote not for the president , but for a slate of electors who in turn elect for the president " , thats techinally saying that the electors are the ones who are really voting our voice means nothing we could have wanted another president to have won but if the electoral college gets more votes then us then so be it , thats our new president! We dont even know who the electors really are they could have been picked by anyone like how it says in paragraph 10 they could have been picked by the presidential candidates themselves who knows. They say we control who the electors vote for but not always , theres a high unlikely chance that there would be more popular votes for one president like in texas for john kerry that all 34 electors would go to congress and vote for john kerry thats insane.
A second reason is how theres a bigger chance of electoral college tie happening then a popular vote one like how it says in paragraph 12 " in 1916 , a tie would have occurred if a mere 5,559 voters in Ohio and a 3,3687 voters in Hawaii had voted the other way. The election is only a few swing voters away from catastrophe". If the electoral college has a tie then theres even a bigger chance of the people voice not being heard at all. Once a tie happens the election goes to the house of representatives where state delegations vote on the president as said in paragraph 12 , a single representative from Wyoming representing 500,000 voters, would have no say compared to the 55 representatives from California that makes Wyoming have no voice in the election compared to Califorina. The house's selection can hardly be expected to reflect the will of the people.
Finally thats all i have to say regarding how the election should be changed to having the popular vote determine the president , we want our voice to be heard! Sometimes the electoral college doesnt pick the president that we wanted and if there was a tie to happen in the electoral college which is at high risk some of the states voices wouldnt get heard at all , thats why we should switch over to popular vote maybe more people would actually get up and go vote because they would know their vote actually means something. Like it says in paragraph 14 " Abolish the electoral college! ". | 3 |
Driverless cars are cominng or are more accidents coming? Would you rather be saft than sorry? There are cars that has been driven more than half a million miles without a crash, but can you truly trust a google car that is driverless? Your on the road and you need to get something out your bag so you put it on driverless mode, and all of a sudden boom u hit another car. What happen you had it on driverless mode an its suppoes to tell you if your getting close to aonther car or an object. Technology doesnt always work.
Driverless car requider massive upgrades,that can be too expensive to be practical. they need lots and lots of sensors,they suppose to have flashing lights on the windshield and other heads up on display but this can all go out in a heartbeat. What if water gets on the seat will that mess up the vibration when it is letting you know your backing up or when your by a dangours object. If technology fails and someone is injured who fault is it, the driver or the manufacturer? tesla has a projected a 2016 release for a car capable of driving on a 90 percent of the time. Just think about it would you rather be saft than sorry? Think smart about the road, youself, and other people around you. | 1 |
In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" the author describes the new technology facial Action Coding System or FACS which allows a computer to pick up on what you feel like and how you are feeling. I claim that the use of FACS in a class room enviroment could have used but mostly believe it is not a valuable resource in class.
One reason why It is not a vaulable resource is it only programed to read six basic human emotions which are Happieness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear and sadness. The human body has way more than just six emotions so getting a high accuracy reading on how you are really feeling is out of the question because FACS uses the a process of a 3-D model Dr. Huang states "The process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles." This quote explains that it has to use a way of making a model which can sometimes take some time depending on the processing power of the computer not only that but human emotions can change quite quickly and if the pc doesnt make the model fast enough the computer can easly fail at getting and accuarate reading.
Another reason why it is invaulable is that a human is already prepared to read another persons emotions because it is a task that is already done each and everyday. Dr. Huang is talking about the device using video images to pick up the emotions of each person. Dr. H states "using video imagery, The new emotion recognition software tracks these facial movments in a real face or on a painted face." This quote brings to light that the machine can read emotions but one could say since it is still in new development that not all of the bugs or glitches have been worked out not only that but you also have to devote more resources to keep the machine working which can average to be a heafty hit to your wallet.
Another person could say it is vaulable to help students and keep them entertained in a lesson and switch it up a bit. Dr. Huang is talking about how it can change the ads you see and veiw if you dont look happy when you look at them. Dr. Huang states "For example when a web ad appears on your screen and you smile a similar ad may follow, But if you frown the next ad will be different. A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored," Dr. Huang predicts. This Quote and prediction of Dr. Huang states that is has potential to keep students intrestred into work but the problem being is that a program so complex like that requires so much code and algorithms that it requires a beffy computer to run so you would need to make multiple servers capable of holding that much information not only that but the school would have to divert much more of their budget toward stronger computers because Dr. Huang states Your home Pc cant handle the complex algorithms used to decode smiles" This saying from Dr. Huang proves that a PC for home use is not strong enough for this program so what makes you average home pc different from a school one other than filters put on the pc which reduces preformance but the worse thing that could happen is what if the power happens to shut down or go out do to a surge that program requires power to run so that is also a big problem.
In conclusion, The use of FACS in a classroom enviroment sounds like a great idea but when you put it in different catagories it fails in almost every one of them you dont need a computer to read emotions when a human is perfectly capable of know how you feel even if it is just a little bit. The schools will need more funding diverted to even run the program and keep it working when schools already have a budget that they have to work on and they will need to be prepared to do something if the power goes out because that system will not run if it has incffecient power. | 5 |
You should become a seagoing cowboy,it helped me learn about other countries. On my way to many places like China, I visited many other countries like Italy and Greece. Being a seagoing cowboy is hard work, but if you are like me you will have had to do chores or work on a farm, doing these helps. For me it helped so much the work seemed easy! If you join us you can come on trips with me!
Yes, you might say it is hard and will get boring, but if you say that them you aren't even giving it a chance. Just because there are cattle you have to watch and you think you always have to watch them. You don't, you only check on them every hour. Even if you think it gets boring, think again. On our way to our destination we visit many places like Acropolis in Greece which was to me the most special place we visited. but we still visted other places like Europe, China and going on a gondola ride in Venice, Italy. We even have lots of sports and other fun activities! We even have tournaments for table-tennis, also you can play baseball, volleyball, fencing, and boxing. If you don't like sports you whittle or read. Now as you can see no time goes to waste.
When you are a seagoing cowboy going many places helps learn how other cultures live. It also helps meet new people and learn new things like how to play sports and whittle if you don't already know. Going to Greece and seeing the Acropolis and like I said before it was special to me. I hope you come with me. But if you don't then you are missing out on a real good treat. | 2 |
Imagine you are a NASA scientist discussing the face seen on Mars with a person a person who thinks it could have been alien life form that created it. Do you think it was just a natural landform or do you believe in alien life form doing this? NASA believes it is just a natural landform. NASA made a discovering on Mars that they believe looks very much like a face though they say it is just a nartural landform many others disagree, there is not any life form on Mars, aliens are just theory, and it looks similar to the landform in west America Idaho Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain.
First, there is not any life form on Mars. NASA has not yet caught any living creature on Mars when observing Mars and taking pictures of it. They have not been able to find any other things to point toward life on the Red Planet. For example in the passage it says "...you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size...if objects in this picture like airplanes on the fround or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shack, you could see what they were!". So this quote proves there is no life form on mars because they would have seen it.
Second, aliens are just a theory that has been around for years and years. The meth of aliens have been around for decades but still no one has ever seen one some may believe they have but mistakeing it for other objects or even seen them in their dreams and thought it was real maybe. In this example it shows that this is a strange find but could very well be just a landform "Thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first apperaed on JPL web site, revealing . . . a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all." this was found in paragraph seven of the passage, saying there was no life form when they discoverd this picture of a natural landform.
Finally, some have said it looks like the natural landform MIddle Butte in the Snake River Plain in Idaho, west America. Like in this quote from the passage, " That's lava dome that takes the form of a isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars.", proving it is just a landform and no more then that. Though this could open up another opportunity to discover is there lava or water on Mars.
Though NASA discovered this face and would of loved if it came from an alien
that was not the case, don't you agree? There is still no life form on Mars today, as for the theory of alien, and the Idaho plain land mark looked just like the landform on Mars, were all are fact to prove this was just a strange land mark of Mars. And now we know this thanks to NASA's research. | 3 |
As the world and technology keeps on developing, there are many changes and advancments being made to make life easier, or so we think. Google cofounder Sergey Brin has made an envison come to life, and his envision is something you might see as impossible. He envisions a future of public transportation; but with driverless cars. Many may find this development as dangerous, the fact that the cars are not truely driverless, makes the human take control of the vehicle at certain times, major road construction for the car to drive safely, and some states finding it illegal to test computer driven cars might have something to do with that.
First off, these cars that claim to be "driverless", are in fact not driverless. In paragraph 2, it clearly states, "Their cars have driven more than half a million miles without a crash, but so far, Google cars aren't truly driverless; they still alert the driver to take over when pulling in and out of driveways or dealing with complicated traffic issues, such as navigating through roadwork or accidents." So the fact that the car are truly not driverless and that you need to be alert the whole time and take the effort to make sure you don't crash into someones mailbox is quite sketchy.
In addition to the cars not being fully "driverless", the cars would need to work on fixed roads. In paragraph 3, it states, " These-smart road systmes worked surprisingly well, but they required massive upgrades to exisiting roads, something that was simply too expensivre to be practical."
Needless to say, the fact that you are spending over what you need to be for this technology, and the roads with the wrong sensors is too expensive and unnessecary.
Also, in paragraph 9, it says "As a result, in most states it is illegal even to test computer-driven cars. California, Nevada, Florida, and the District of Columbia have lef the country in allowing limites use of semi-autonomous cars; manufactorers believe that more states will follow as soon as the cars are proved more reliably safe." Proving that these states to not allow the use of self driven vehicles because they are very dangerous.
In conclusion, the "driverless" vehicle is a bad idea for many reasons. Not truly driverless, making you take control of the vehicle at any time under conditions such as traffic and reversing, major road construction, and being illegal for you to test in certain areas because of the risk that the idea puts out to the public. Driverless cars should not be the future, you should not have the depend on them to get you from point A to point B if you have the ability to drive with two hands. | 3 |
"Driverless cars are coming" im not so sure that is a good idea for driverless cars, the name doesnt even sound safe. There are many arguments on the subject of having this new idea or not. Some believe it would be a great addition for the future and others think they should not be invented. In my own opinion i believe that the driverless cars should not be a thing for the future. And there are many reason to why i think that.
Although it is known that many people in america are wanting driverless cars im not so sure that it is the best thing we need. There are some advantages to this like how they may be safer when it comes to the new features they are including. But the dissadvantages by far overcome them. For one, driverless cars are less work and basiclly for the most part you just have to watch the road unless you would like to take control, however, that is a huge problem in this day in age because, everyone is creating new things so everyday jobs arent as hard for people to do but that is just adding to the lazyness of americans. Its one thing to create things like a stove so you dont have to create a fire just to heat your food but to go all the way to not even having to drive your car thats a little to much. This problem is just like the idea of elevators so you dont have to walk up and down stairs thats just a creation made out of pure lazyness. So i think driverless cars are really pushing it when it comes to inventions for the people that make us the lazyest country.
The driverless cars may seem to be more safe although think about even the most high tech items you know of even those get messed up and malfuction sometimes right? So there isnt any doubt in my mind that the car wouldnt either. So if you were to be in the car and say it was supposed tos stop at a red light but it got messed up and it didnt stop it could cause a crash and that could do some real damage to you and the others in the crash. And who would they blame was at fault? would you get the blame or would the car? Its hard to trust internet programed things especialy when it may come to your life. If a person was driving they would know to stop at a red light. But with the driverless cars those are just computers that can mess up at anytime.
It might be dfficult to see eye to eye because now days our natural instinct is to go for the thing that makes your life easier. But we all need to see that even though it may be easier and less work it is also a accendent waiting to happen. Although the new car has safty percautions and you can take control of it doesnt make it perfectly safe and it doesnt make it a good idea. And it might use less gas making you able to save you money but that also means the owners to the gas are lossing there money it all works like a chain reaction.
Making the right decision is important for us to do because of our future generation. Think about how this would be a bad effect on our life and society. in my general opinion the phrase "driverless cars are coming" should not come into affect becuase of the dissadvantages and the bad effects and the pure lazyness that would be put into the idea of the car. So i dont think we should get driverless cars. | 3 |
What do most people think can do things better, people or machines? I, like most people, believe things are done better by hand. Would someone want a lifesaving operation done by a living doctor that knows what is going on and where things are, or a robot that is programmed to do it and could malfunction. I believe that driverless cars pose a threat against people and cars should remain in human control at all times.
Cars do not actually see the things that surrond them. If the driver decides not to pay attention and one of the cars sensors were to malfunction then the lives of many people hang in balance. Road constructions and traffic jams could pose a threat as well. When these things happen do the cars just shut down or try and get through themselves. Either way major safety hazards will arise. Just like in paragraph 2, right now "driverless" cars cannot even get out of a driveway alone. Unless some major ajestments were to come soon, driverless cars remain a huge threat to safety.
What if someone were to get hurt in a driverless car accident? The car malfunctions and the driver could not take control and gets hurt. Who willingly takes responsibility, the driver or the company? Like stated in paragraph 9, to figure this out the country would have to make more laws. All that will waste a large amount of time for both the companies that make driverless cars and congress who makes the laws. Driverless cars will give people trouble before they even hit the road.
I believe that driverless cars pose a threat against people and cars should remain in human control at all times. No matter what driverless cars do not have the instinces and emotions as humans. Cars cannot see what lies 500 feet in front of them, only humans can see that. Technology fails too much and letting cars drive for us poses to great of a threat at this time. | 2 |
The Face on Mars is something that is just an opinion of many people .There is no proof that this is real. The Face is something that people assume that aliens made it.
In paragraph twelve it says that the landform was common to the Middle Butte, which is on Earth. So, maybe the lava carried to Mars and created the same shape,which is probably at the same time .
In paragraph nine ,they said it wasn't an easy target to look at . Maybe, what they were looking at wasn't correct. They might've saw it wrong and just guessed what it was.
In paragragh one , the planet Cydonia
was two miles away from Mars .Maybe
Cydonia and Mars had once crashed into each other and created a weird shaped. Years later the shape wore off and created a human shaped face.
People can't prove that aliens made the Face ; they can't even prove that aliens are real. You can't assume anything until you know somthing about it . They may have all the picture and other details , but that doesn't answer anything. They don't have that fact of what really happened.
The Face of Mars is just something to keep people busy and on the edge of their seats . Even if it was real they wouldn't tell us . The Face was formed by posibbly by a collision or the lava like the Middle Butte .
All of the things that scientist say is based on opinions . They stated very few things that were actually facts . The Face maybe somthing else , it's not just what we see , niether
what's really there. | 2 |
I know some people don't like to go to school and they just want to stay home and play video games or sleep. Rather than going to school, but your parents still force you to go to school. And teachers look confused and saying whats wrong with our students. And don't know what to do. And most teacher are tired of students sleeping and thinking its a waste of their time and most quit.
Professor Thomas Huang from the Beckham Institute for Advance Science at the University of Illinois and many more. Are working with this computer that can identify your emotion without showing them and they tested with famous painting the Mona Lisa and the results were incredible. And what if the teachers can use this computer software on us so they can get some feedback and fix the problem why do students don't want to come to school and I know this machine could be very useful to others schools and be useful to the cops or any force. By helping them what they are and justing getting to know a little something about the bad guy. So this could be a huge impact to everyone. | 1 |
Do you like to travel around the world, help people from World war II and keep cattle calm, and like to explore?
If you are intrested in all of theese or even one you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program like I did.
If you like to travel then you'll love to be a part of the Seagoing Cowboys program.
If you join the Seagoing Cowboys program you will get to travel the world on a boat.
A benifit was I had the chance to see Europe and China. If you join you will probably get to see plenty of new beautiful places you haven't seen before.
Also
the view when your on the boat is just magnificent.
When your a seagoing cowboy you will be helping people who had damage from World War II by giving them cattle.
This helps them because these places took serious damage from world war II.
Europe and China probbably had most of their cattle killed so we help by giving them horses young cows and
and mules so they can have milk and meat.
These cattle will also provide them with clothing to wear.
I took care of the cattle in my years of being a Seagoing Cowboy.
So if you like to help people and keep animals calm then you might be intrested.
My last and final reason you should be apart of the Seagoing Cowboys program is because you get down time and you get to explore the area.
If you you're in one of those jobs that gives you no downtime and sll you do is work I suggest you quit and join us.
While i was a Seagoing Cowboy we stopped in Greece and I saw the Acropolis.
This was a breath taking sight.
In your downtime youmight be able to see
some amazing sights also.
you'll get to see thing like you've never seen before.
In clonclusion you should become part of the Sea going Cowboys program because you get to travel the world, help people that had damge from World War II and comfort the cattle that your shipping to them, and you get downtime to explore where you are and see breathtaking sights.
If you do join i might be able to teach you more about being a Seagoing Cowboy. I hope you'll consider joining. | 3 |
The Electoral college or changing to election by popular vote for the president should be kept. The electoral college has 538 electors.270 electoral votes is required to elect the president. The presidential election is held every four years on a tuesday after the first monday in november. Having the popular vote can help choose for preident much easyer. The popular vote helps know which candidate many people are voting for which president.
Most states have a "winner-take-all" system. The system awards all electors to the winning presidential candidate. The word "sate'' also refers to the district of columbia. The 23rd Amendment of the constitution, the district of columbia is allocated 3 electors and treated like a state. Keeping the popular vote lets the people vote for president. The candidate with the most votes wins and becomes president. Over 60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now.
Voters can expect another close election in which the popular vote winner could lose again the presindency. Under the college system the voters vote for a state elector who in turn elect the president. In 2000 there was a dispute over the out come of the electoral college. It is till less likely than a dispue over the popular vote. Each condidate has there own group of electors. Changes should be made to the Electoral college. Some of those changes include leting the people vote for president not a state of elector.
The electora college restores some of the weight in the political balance that large states lose. They lose it by virtue of the mal-apportionment. The Electoral college avoids the problem of elections. In which no candidatereceives a majority of the votes cast. The electoral college was established in the constitution as a compromise between election of the president by a vote in congress and election of the president by a popular vote of equalified citizens.
In conclusion the Electoral college or changing to election by popular vote for the president should be kept. | 1 |
Hello Mr. senetor, my name is PROPER_NAME and i want to talk about some inportant stuff. For on i want to keep the electoral Collage . This is a syste that has been happeing since our founding fathers have been on earth. Its where they vote for the pesident and vice president of United States of America. Now you want to get ride of this great tradistion that we do. I know sometimes we might get confused and vote for the wrog candidate. But that is not all of us. Everyone thinks its a disastor factor. The electoral collage will improve and will keep improving.
In the text it says " The electoral college is widely rgarded as an anachronism, a non-democratic method of selecting a priesedent that ought to be overuled By declaring the candidate who recives the most popular votes the winner . The advocates of this positionare correct in arguuing that the electorl collage method is not democrticin a modern sence. It is the electors who elect th president, not the people . When you vote fora pesidentian candidate youre actually voting for slate of electores."
Thats what the text said and we dont want that. Us the people want to vote for who we want to. This will be something big if we can keep this thing going. | 0 |
I think the technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable. The Facial Action Coding System (FACS) can prove how a person is feeling due to having a 3-D computer model, an electronic code, and a facial software.
First, the FACS has a 3-D computer model to help it figure out a persons emotion. In the text it says, "all 44 major muscles in the model must move like a humans muscles." This evidence shows that a humans facial muscles shows how a person is feeling and each emotion has their own charateristics.
Second, the FACS also has an electronic code which helps the system understand better the emotion just kanda how us as humans can tell if our friend is upset or happy. For example in the text it says, "His new computer software stores similar anatomical information as electronic code." This evidence shows that the software has the same kind of thing that lets us humans know how our friend is feeling.
Lastly, the facial software helps FACS by using human features on the face understand the emotions. In the article it says, "muscles called orbicularis oculi palpabraeus makes crow's-feet around your eyes. But in a false smile, the mouth is stretched sideways using the zygomatic major and a different muscle, the risorius." This evidence shows that even a computer software can tell what you're feeling by your face features.
I think the FACS should be used to read the emotion expressions of students in a classroom. Having a 3-D computer model, an electonic code, and a facial software sure can all help Facial Action Coding System recongize a humans emotion. | 1 |
It is clear that in the the article "The Challenge Of Exploring Venus", the excitement for a possible oppertunity to explore Venus runs deeply with the author. The problem with excitement is that it clouds judgement, Venus should not be explored without a proper motive or strategy, and they don't yet have that. The article did poorly in convincing me that the pursuit for venus is worth it.
Venus is an uninhabitable place. Dispite the information that would vastly improve our knowledge about venus, it proves quite difficult and could put a life in danger. The heat on Venus greatly surpasses that of the average on earth, it is said in the article," Tempratures average over 800 degrees". The author of the story is working around the fact that its probably not going to happen, within a lifetime at least. The article mentions that Venus is reffered to as "earths twin", and it appears to be unmistakenably true at one point in its lifetime, given it's know structures and landforms, but Venus is no longer firtile and cannot support that of even our most protective items suitable for space.
NASA's involvement in attempting to send humans to venus is highly advanced, although the productivity is not the fastest, they are indeed attemting to get somewhere with their research. The best thing mentioned in the article was of the, "Vehicle hovering over Venus". It sounds like the title of a really interesting distopian sci-fi book but no, that was the big idea that the author referred to. I did quite like the idea only in that it was somewhat sensible, to collect data from up high, though unfortunately the density of Venus' surface wouldn't allow for any colection of data.
On the contrary to what is beleived to be, the author provided good evidence as to exciting new ways to hopefully one day be able to learn more about Venus, and understand our solar system at the very least by one planet more. | 2 |
The world is facing incredibly drastic climate change due to car emissions and power plants, both are burning fossil fuels. Things may look bad, almost irreversable but the sun has not yet set, there's hope and it comes in the shape of a shifting world wide attitude towards vehicles. Governments are focusing on making green zones designed to limit car use. There are a plethura of positive effects that this may have on society. Reducing the temperature of a rapidly heating planet will allow us to savour our oceans rather than running from them as they grow to envelop our costal cities. It will relieve stress from those who had been trapped in a car all day and last, but not least, it's not difficult and one wont be alone in their endeveors.
To begin, cars emit green house gasses which will acumulate in our atmosphere trapping heat underneath it as it tries to leave our planet. This leads to a cumilative effect that causes the earth's average temperature to rise. In Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars Elizabeth Rosenthal says "Green house gas emitions from cars in America make up fifty percent of all greenhouse gas emitions in the country." America barely has any regulations in relation to greenhouse gas emitions to start with but this is crazy. This problem could be easily solved with a few regulations and some smart city planning. The benifits of this includes but is not limited to, more temperate climate, less airborne carcinogens and of course no crazy drivers.
Another good reason to switch is riding a bike or travelling on a train or bus is much more relaxing than rapidly driving down the highway being cut off by rude drivers and endangering yourself simply by merging. instead you can lesiurely wait to arrive at your destination. In German Suburb Elisabeth Rosenthal writes a quote from an interview which says "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm so much happier now." This media trainer said this as she walked the streets of Verdant "where the swish of bicycles and chatter of wandering children drown{ed} out the occasional distant motor." This is beautiful, borderline serene, only a crazy person would dissagre with such an environment.
Now traveling all the way across the world, from Germany to Columbia. These countries are both spearheading the experiments with pollution reduction and in Bogata -The capital of Columbia, they actually organize "Car free days" seven million people in Bogota alone participated in the event, violaters would even have to pay a $25 fine. According to Andrew Selsky, the author of Car Free Day Is Spinning Into A Big Hit In Bogoto, "[Even] the rain hasn't stopped people from participating." It seems that, rightfully, this event is treated as a celebration and it has great effects on the environment.
In conclusion these every one should follow suit with this beautiful and healthy way of tackling environmental issues. If people stay on track it will be easy, fun, relaxing and the Earth will be admired for many years to come. | 3 |
My position on driveless cars? i kind of like the idea of a car taking you to your everyday destination. i mean a future where these driveless cars could form into a public transport taxi system is amazing. the google cofounder sergey brin believes these cars would offer more flexiblilty than a bus. we humans could be using less fuel then today's vehicles.
I seen these "driveless cars" in movies and televison but, now drivless cars can become are a reality. for example google has had cars that could drive by themselves independently since 2009. their cars half drove more than half a millon miles without a crash thats pretty safe in my books. also if there are trafficc issues the car automatically alerts the drive to take control for even mor safety. driveless cars are game changing.
Orignally, many futurist believed the key to developing self driving cars wasn't that much smarter then smart road way. in the 1950s General Motors created a concept car that could run on special test track. the tracks was infused with eletrical cable that sent radio signals to a reciever on the front end of the car. these smart-road systems worked well. proof that these driveless cars could be a thing and a good thing. then in the 1980s automakers developed sensors for cars that could detect and respond danger. which could cause the car to apply brakes making diving safer. this alone tells us that driveless cars are the future.
In 2013, Bmw announced the delvelopment of ''Traffic Jam Assistant'' this car can handle driving functions at speeds up to 25 mph but specail touch sensor make sure the driver keeps hold of the wheel. but in all honesty none of these cars develop so far are nowhere driverless what means you ask they can steer, accerlerate , brake themselves but, if the human needs to take control of the wheel he or she can do the same. that means ultimate safety in my case.
Why would anyone want a driverless car that still needs a driver? woullnt drivers get bored waitng for their turn to driver?
is what people who are against the idea of development for these cars might say. well dr. werner , a BMW project manger driver says "We have to interpret the driving fun in a new way." well i have some exciting information for you some manufacturer hope to do that, by bringing in-car entertainment and information sytems that use heads- up displays. an these displays could be turned off instaly if when the driver wants to take over. if you think about it these features is actuall a saftey feature in a way.
Traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driving that car, which also causes problems between companys and states resulting some states to ban driveless cars.
but even if traffic laws would change for the sake of driveless cars, we would need new laws hat could cover liability in case of a accident. cause the big question is if the technology fails and someones is injured, who is at fault the driver or the manufactuer?
My debate will end soon even though driveless cars are safe. automaker will continue to develop and think of new driveless cars and of the problems that are given ahead will be solved. the road to the truly autonomous cars stretches on. but i know that everday that passes we grow closer to are destination everday. | 2 |
According to the article "Driverless Cars Are Coming," companies have been working on cars that need less human control; earning these cars the moniker "driverless." In my opinion I am against the development and distribution of these vehicles. Having driverless cars would,promote the lazy characterists of drivers, be hazardous on the roads, and expensive to produce. These cars should not be at the top of companies developmental lists.
A driverless car isn't really new to the world, as the article states "Google has had cars that could drive independently under specific conditions since 2009." If the idea of driverless cars isn't scary enough, add to the equation the idea that it is under "specific conditions". When would be the ideal time that someone would need to switch a car to autopilot? The production of these cars will make drivers lazy. Many car accidents are at the fault of a driver not paying attention, and add a person behind the wheel of a "smart car,"
or a car that can drive itself and that number will multiply. We can't let people get comfortable with the idea that a car will prevent them from having accidents.
The production of smart cars could also be hazardous on the roads, the article states that " 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." These "sensors," or danger detecting devices and other computerized appliances that help these cars function, may not always be reliable. What could happen if they weren't properly installed and malfunction? To many cars today that aren't smart cars get called back to factories for complications, adding more fancy attractions is a lousy idea.
Another reason why the production of these cars is a horrible idea is money. The very same reason why the production of the "Smart- road systems," did not work out. How much of our tax dollars are going into this industry? This is money that we don't have to be waisting on an advancement that is not needed. This new breed of car is going to do nothing for the economic standing of the world. Companies are producing these cars at our expense and then not making them available to the average person. Companies like," Merceds-Benz, Audi, and Nissan plan to have cars that can drive themselves by 2020." Then who are they going to market them to? The people of the upper class will be the only ones with smart cars in their possession.
In conclusion, I believe that the production and distribution of smart cars is an aweful idea. Having driverless cars would,promote the lazy characterists of drivers, be hazardous on the roads, and expensive to produce. The number of accidents would increase, technology is completely unpredictable, and we simply do not have a firm economical standing to be producing these vehicles. I believe that we should be using this money to improve other, more important things, like the educational systems. | 4 |
The author suggest that studying venus is a worthy pursuit because, venuse have been the most like earth planet in our solar system. they belive that long ago venus was probably coverd with large oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like earth."venus can sometimes be a nearest option for a planetary visit, a crucial consideration given the long time frames of space travel". NASA has been thinking of many ideas to help humans explore venus, possible solution to the hostile condition on the surface of venus would allow scientist to float above the fray of venus. bump like vehical hovering over 30 or so miles above the roiling venusian landscape. like a jet airplane travel at ahigher altitude to fly over many storms, a vehicle hovering over venus would avoid the deadly ground conditions by staying up and out of the their way. researchers are working on innovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowledge of venus.
NASA have come up with example of tool that can help build a safe ship for human to travel to venus. some simplified electronics made of silicon carbibe have been testred in a chamber simulating the chaos of venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in venus conditions. mecchanical computers which is an old technology might help people explore venus. peering at venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can provide only limited on ground. most light cannot penetrate the dense atomoshpere, rendering standard forms of photograhy and videography ineffective.
Even though venus is the close to earth twin there are still many dangers to exploring the planet. the atmospere contains 97 percent carboin dioxide. the clouds are highly corrosive sulfuric acid in venus's atmosphere. on venus surface tempertures aveage over 800 degrees fahrenheit. the atomospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what humans experiance on our own planet.
The condition on venus are far more extreme then anything humans can encounter on earth. the enviorment would crush even a submarine diving to the deepest parts of our oceans. venus has the hottest surface temperture than any planet. high pressure and heat, venusian geology and weather present additional impediments like eurupting volcanoes. powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface.
striving to meet the challenge presented by venus has value. because human curiosty will likely lead us into many equally intimidating enveavors. travelers on earth and beyond should not be limited by danger to explore venus more. venus should be expanded to help meet the edges of imagination and inovation.
i think that the more NSA workes together to make tool to go see mre of venus them they will be able to explore more anytime. | 1 |
If you had the motive and oppurtunity to explore Venus, what would it take for you to go? Would it take a million dollars or a simple high five from a buddy? Author of 'The Challenge of Exploring Venus' says studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it does present.
Studying Venus would present some danger and conflict in the course of its event. This is because not only is the temperature over 100x more dramatic than a regular September day for a hoosier, but it also contains sulfuric acid all throughout the planet and the surface. The author states, "such an environment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving in the deepest parts of our oceans and would liquify many metals". This is not the kind of environment that the Property Brothers are just dying to build some houses in... Although, it has it's many perks.
Studying Venus is a 'worthy pursuit', says author, but why? With every pro event comes its cons and vice versa. Though an extremely dangerous environment to step foot on, there is more to it than the ability to melt a submarine. The education behind Venus is the most attractive part being that Venus once was the most Earth-like planet and could potentially have held Earth like creatures in the depths of it all. Not only is it an educational expirience for just you, but visiting Venus would give so much to scientists and austonomers to work with for upcoming life events.
Studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. Now that you have read this, think back to the beggining statement, what would it take for YOU to explore Venus? The Author of 'The Challenge of Exploring Venus' would and he is smart for saying so. The author uses evidence and claim to support his idea thoroughly. | 2 |
Driverless Cars would be great. But in all reality how safe are they? Are they going to be expensive? Should we trust these cars with our lives? There are a lot of questions that could be asked about these cars. But can they all be proven? Well people will soon come to find out.
How safe are these cars? They are safe until they have a technology mishap or faailure. You can not always trust technology. Any question of these cars could be asked. But what if they can't be proven? For instance if your car doesn't warn you of danger, road construction, or any detours and you're asleep. But your car didn't warn you. How's that your fault? That's the thing they will tell you that you were "driving" so it was your fault.
These cars may not be safe. They may not even be cheap. Do i think driverless cars are a good idea? No i think they are a terrible idea. I'm sure many people would agree. There are enough accidents as there is. But if a car is going to fail there's another. And it may not be your fault. But you were the one driving. | 1 |
Have you ever heard about Venus, how worthy and dangers its presents?. They are worthy and dangers at the same time, because no humans have land on venus and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what the explorers experiend on earth. The other reason is astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. These are the example of how worthy and dangerous it is at the same time.
The first reason is no humans have land on venus, since no spacecraft survived the land for more than a few hours. Accoding to the article "maybe this issue explains why not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus in more than three decades." At the same time numerous factors constribute to Venus's reputation as a challenging planet for humans to study, despite its proximity to us. This is the reason why Venus is worth to study and dangets at the same time.
The next reason is the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater that what the explorer on earth.The reason is these conditions are far more extreme than anything humans encouter on Earth; such as environemt would crush ever submarine accustomed to diving the deepest part of our oceans and would liquefy many metals. Accoding to the article "Also notable, Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system, even though Mercury is closer to our sun." Aslo another reason is beyond hight pressure heat, Venusian geology and weather present additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface.
The last reason is astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet. The reason is long ago, Venus was probably cover largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like earth. Accoding to the article "The planet has a surface of rocky sediments and includes familar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters." The arthur stated that "Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for a planetary visit, a crucial consederation given the long frames of space travel. This is the last reason why it is worth to study venus and dangers at the same time.
These are the example of how challange exploring venus is and it is a worthy prusuite despite the dangers it presents. | 1 |
Dear state senator with all do respect I feel like electoral college is unfair. Why you may ask? because in reality us the U.S citizens aren't getting to actually vote directly for who we want. for example in paragraph 10 in the second source it is stated that the way that college electoral voting works is by letteing the people vote for representatives that represent the actual candidate. In other words lets say that more than 100 people vote for a certain candidate well those 100 peoples vote will not all be counted because that particular candidate may only have 37 representatives.
in addition that makes our votes less valuable! The voting method should actually change to popular vote, because that way it is equal or even and no one is being left out and every persons vote counts. Also the popular vote for president of the U.S is better because in that case there is more possibilities of candidates to last either longer or even have a better opportunity in being elected as president.
The whole point of having popular vote is so that us the citizens feel equal and also free because this is a free state and the whole meaning of this nation was that we the citizens get to pick our president. Another thing why I feel like popular vote is more better is because it would make the governments job so much easier. For example all they would have to do is collect votes and see who has the most. Instead of having to know that the votings are unfair with college electoral voting..
These were my reasons why I feel like popular voting for a president is a much more better choice than college electoral voting. | 2 |
Should venus be explored? There are many different aspects, and opinions on the subject, but the author gives us very good reasons why it should be explored and studied. One of the reasons is that belive it or not venuse is the most simalar planet to earth, also the scientist at NASA said they are working on a blimp like vehicle that could go up to 30 miles high. That means if they made this structer they could avoid all of the harsh conditions on ground level at venus such as the armospheric pressure, and the unbarable heat that is a crazy total of 800 degrees. If they would make this vehicle the pressure would drop substantionaly and so would the heat from 800 degrees to around 170 degrees, the solar power and radation would also be very plentiful and wouldn't exceed Earth levels. The conditions would definetly no be easy to deal with, but they would at least be survivable. There is one problem thought people at NASA can not document their finding because of conditions which would make it where cameras could not be used. This is because the most the light cannot penetrate the dense atmospher. But there maybe a solution, the thing is we might just have to go back in time. For example scientists are looking back on older technology, this technology would be mechanical computers, this is good because these computers do not requier any technology, they use gears and levers and would be substainable on venus. That is how the author suggests that the study of venus should be pursued. As it said in the artical dont look at it such as dangers just bigger challenges. | 2 |
Driverless cars are starting to be created, and eventually they will be allowed on the streets everywhere. With that being said, that means that there will be more dangers that pedestrians and drivers have to worry about. If one thing went wrong with a driverless car it could potentially cause an accident and leave people injured and/or dead. Without having a driver that is specifically paying attention to the road, you never know what might happen. At any point in time the car could malfunction and nobody would be there to maintain control. Cars are meant to have a driver, and without a driver nobody knows what may happen.
These days, cars that have to have a driver still malfunction and sometimes the driver is not even enough to help keep them from causing an accident. Without a driver this risk would be even larger leaving everyone more concerned about getting into an accident. There should always be someone who is watching the road at all times and if things do start going badly then they are able to fix what is going on.
The longer that driverless cars are around the more that they will be available leaving less manual cars out there. This means that cars will become more expensive due to all of the technology that has to go in the cars to make then drive by themselves. More and more people will have to go without a vehicle because they will not be able to find any that can fit into their budget. Driverless vehicles will ruin the chance of some people getting a newer vehicle due to the rising prices.
If driverless cars continue to only be allowed to go up to speeds of 25 miles per hour and cannot drive by themselves through workzones and around accidents then there is really no point in having them. Many places, even around small towns/cities, have a speed limit higher than 25 miles per hour. The car would be no use and the driver would have to drive the car themselves. Even if the car could drive through anything and go any speed, the person in the drivers seat would have to remain alert at all times because you never know when the car could malfunction and potentially cause an accident.
Even though there are many downfalls of driverless cars, there are also many upsides to them. One of these would be the vibration of the drivers seat in the GM when the vehicle could possibly back into an object. Another thing is the cameras that could watch the person in the drivers seat to make sure that they are watching the road. This would help people stay focused and remain focused while they were in the car. Driverless cars would be very nice, especially for people who have to drive really far or who do not like to drive, but they are not as safe as a real driver.
Technology is becoming so advanced that in just a few years driverless cars will be made and seen on the streets. This puts many people in danger and everyone will have to be more carfeul on the road. Some people that are going to own these cars will not put their full attention on the road, and when the car malfunctions or stop then there will be an accident. These cars will cost a lot more money that many people do not have, leaving them without a car. If driverless cars do become the future there needs to be many laws and requirements made about the car and the person who owns the car. | 4 |
Many people think that the face might have been an alien's. I think that the Face is a natural landform because scientists beleive that the eyes,nose and mouth were cause by shadows. Some scientists believe that the face was an alien artifact. Scientists have used better camera that could even show a small shacks. Some say alien markings were hidden by haze.
First, I think the Face was caused by natural landforms because the eyes,nose, and mouth were caused shadows. A few days after the the picture, NASA unveilded the image and the caption noted "Huge rock formation, which resembles a human head, formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose and mouth." Some scientists still disagree saying it could have been an alien's face. When looking at the picture, there is a shadow of the rock. If it was an alien, why haven't scientist found any other alien like?
Second, the face was formed by a natural landform because when you look at the 2001 picture it is more clear than 1976 or 1998. The clear version shows that it had no eyes,nose, or mouth. Garvin said "As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size." Scientists are able to see pictures closer than before. Garvin also said "So, if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on ground or Egyptian style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see what they were!" All the new technologies can get the actually picture more clearly unlike the picture from 1976.
Then, scientists have better technoloy, they are able to go to Mar with new machines. Scientists can even go near the Face with new spacecraft adn get a better picture. Other scietists think that alien markings were hidden by haze. Even if they were hidden, scientists would be able to find it by now.
Finally, the Face was formed by natural landform because it was caused by shadows, and scientists have better technology. On 2001, scientists used a camera which were better than the camera they used on 1976. This is why the Face was formed by natural landform. | 2 |
My name is Luke Bomberger and I made nine trips as a Seagoing Cowboy.
Would you like to go on adventures just like me?
You should become a Seagoing Cowboy.
You help people in need and still have time for games and sightseeing on your way!
As an addition, you can be a Seagoing Cowboy as your military service.
There are so many perks to being a Seagoing Cowboy.
Let me tell you about some.
As said in Paragraph Two of this article about me and my adventures as a Seagoing Cowboy called "A Cowboy Who Rode the Waves", "It was 1945, World War II was over in Europe, and many countries were left in ruins.
To help these countries recover their food supplies, animals, and more, 44 nations joined together to form UNRRA (the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration).
UNRRA hired "Seagoing Cowboys" to take care of the horses, young cows, and mules that were shipped overseas."
My friend Don Reist and I joined.
We were to take care of the animals on board the ship so that people that need them could be helped.
But it wasn't all work.
I even said myself, as this article states, "Besides helping people, I had the side benefit of seeing Europe and China."
Taking a gondola ride in Venice and seeing the Acropolis in Greece were both truly amazing.
Paragraph Eight of this article tells all about the games we would play on the ship.
It reads, "Luke also found time to have fun on board, especially on return trips after the animals had been unloaded.
The cowboys played baseball and volleyball games in the empty holds where animals had been housed.
Table-tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, reading, whittling, and games also helped pass the time."
This is all very true information.
The cowboys and I would always have so much fun.
You can do all of this when you join the Seagoing Cowboys!
Yet another perk is being able to be a Seagoing Cowboy as your military service.
This article qoutes me in Paragraph Four, and I said, "When my draft board learned that I was on a cattle-boat trip, they told me to just keep doing that for my service."
In conclusion, there are many perks to joining the Seagoing Cowboys, from simply helping people to sightseeing.
There are already many Seagoing Cowboys, and all of them would be so grateful for more members.
We all encourage you to join, and hope you do.
Think back to all that I have said, and I am sure you will want to join the Seagoing Cowboys! | 2 |
People believe that the Electoral College should go, and the writer agrees with them. Watever happened to
"we, the people..."
!? The people are to decide who gets voted in as president, or e. t. c. With the Electoral College in play, "
The Peoples'
" votes mean nothing! ...and that's just no good!
Take the
Gallop pole of 2000 for example! Al Gore, who won the popular vote, but lost the presidency, because of the Electoral vote. What the Electoral vote/College is, is a system where voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who then elect the president.
"We the people"
dont even get a say in the matter. Which is still no good!
There have been many disasters in the voting system in the past, like the one back in 1960, with Hawaii sending in two state electors
! Allthough arguably the biggest fiasco, back in 2000, was with the formentioned Al Gore vs. Bush campaign.
Now, there are some contradictions in this, thoughts on keeping the Electoral system.
one example of this, is that this rarely ever happens, the most recent being the Al Gore vs. Bush campaign. Another example of a contradiction is locations, from where the candidate is from, like Romney (never thought he'd be mentioned here) having nothing to do with the areas outside of the south, so he would be a bad candidate for the Electoral College.
Now that both sides of the coin have been adressed, it's time to look at some of the key facts (and some opinions) of the "
Electoral College debate
"; The Electoral College, to some and others, votes for us; With or without the Electoral College, people would still get to vote on presidency, as well as other things; Everyone has their own opinion on the matter, and to get the best result,
"We, The People..."
have to agree on one opinion for the matter at hand. | 2 |
"Driverless Cars Are Coming" is very easy to consume an argument for. Driverless cars in a sense are a technical way for prevention. The overall purpose of driverless cars is to prevent injuries, and or in extreme cases death. I believe the idea and studies of driverless cars are sufficent.
Driverless cars is a future life saver. With the development and further advancement of other sensors, this car is created to help. Texting and driving is a big legal issue around this day in age and this is a chance to stop all of the car accidents and legal situations involving addition concept. Although the advancement on cars now is not not fully prepared to stop accidents and is not a garuntee, it is ar least a good starting point for success.
In the society we live in today blind and/or deaf people can not drive. A driverless car is giving the disabled people a chance to a more normal life than is what not so much expected. The arguement that continues to this day about everyone is equal, lets unabled people an acceptance call. Allowing the disabled to get around independently, will advance the statistics and knowledge of a widespread of people.
Many ways and oppurtunities for the future are at stake. Giving driverless cars a chance may have a tremendous impact on the world. Automotive legal issues will decrease. Equality arguements will lessen.
I believe the idea and studies of driverless cars are sufficent. This is an oppurtunity for an all around break through. | 2 |
The auther supports his idea by writing a paraghragh and putting in ideas or what people reserach. The author starts the paragragh by telling us what is venus is and what conditions that the plants has what earth does not have. The next thing is that the author said that Venus is the closest planet to the earth in terms of density and size and occasionally the closest in distance too. The next thing that the author puts in the paraghragh is that venus go around the sun in diffrent speeds then the earth. I think we should explore venus because venus might have the material that earth has not the second thing is that venus might have new creature that we never seen before that can with stand the conditions that venus has. The third thing is that venus never ben explord before so we might see thing we might not have seen on earth. The next thing I want to say is that we can use venus as a waypoint for space ships to go back and refule and get things to explore new planets but the conditons on that planet IN the paragragh it said that venus has sulfuric acid in the air is 90 time denst as the atmaspher on the earth. The second thing is that the artical said venus average tempoture is over 800 degrees fahrenhiet and venus has the hottest suface tempoture on anyother planets in our solar system. The third thing is that venus weather presents thing like eruping volcanoes powerful,earthquakes, frequent lighting strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface. The artical said that peopel try to get to the surface of venus and it was not working until they made a robot that can with stand the surface for three weeks. The next thing is that long time ago venus use to have thing that earth have to but over time they distaper and have the same surface like earth the nexts thing is that they were thinking to put a huvering vehicle like a plane that can huver over the clouds that can scan the surface with out have something happening but they cannot take samples so they have to get close and personale. so the nasa is tyring to get samples from venus and worrking on the computers that can scan the suface. Thats the thing I can sume up from the paraghragh. | 1 |
Not alot of people think that the face on Mars is real because we all know that there cant be life without light, food and oxygen but some people would argue that. Some sceintist would say that the face on mars surface would be proven that there is life on mars, but my opinion is that there is plenty of evdince that says that there cant be any life on any other planets because the space doesnt have an evnviorment like earth does. Why would there be a big face that looks like a rock with shadows of the surface of mars an people say there is life there. I say there wouldnt be life there because there would be no living anything on the planet just like every other planet. If there was living stuff on one planet wouldnt you think that there would be other proven facts that there is life on other planets? Which there isnt. Just like peoples imagination when we see stuff that we dont really see, like when sometimes you are looking at a cloud an you see a object because you think it might look like a animal or a living thing in the cloud but you arent really seeing the thing its just your imigination. I think thats the same thing that happened with the mars face because the poeple who too the pictures had a great imagintion, an it might of only been the obove view that made it look like a face because somtime when we look at something a different way or up close then it looks way different then it dos from the top view. I believ that it was just the peoples imigenation an the way the poeple looked at it from the view they were looking at it. The people who think its a real life thing on the surface of mars are the people who havent really checked into there cant be any living thing without other living resources | 2 |
The text is telling the readr that the new technology that is called the (face action coding system). th enformatiom frome the text and according to some new computers softwere that can recognize emotions. The software is the for advanced science at the university of illinois working in collaboration.
the information that the auther said was that she was
(83% happy, 9% disgusted, 6% fearful, and 2% angry ). thats good infor matin frome one picture and thay scand the picutre and found that out.
What the text did was give me a lot of information and i never know that technolgy do that and it tells peopl waht pople face apretions is so nobody wont be confused.
in the text the process begin when the computer constucts a 3-D computer model of the face of all 44 major muscles in the model must move like a human muscles is called an action unit . the computer scan emotions | 0 |
The author presents both positive and negative aspects about the diverless car by listing all the positives about it and then the negatives that people don't know or like to hear about it. This idea has swept across the country and everyone has there own idea on it. It has everyone thinking if its the right thing to be on the road or not. It helps people out alot but then it may back fire and not be the best choice for them. Everyone has their own opinion on this world wide idea.
There are lot of positive aspects to it. For instance helping the disabled people get around. Instead of asking for a ride and making things harder. They can have a diverless car. Also for people who are tired or sick that may fall asleep or get destracted at the wheel. This can prevent accidents and dealths from accuring. There are also sensors on the car that alert people when a accident may occur so that the driver can take control. These sensors are all over the car, and are in places that the driver can not see. Like in the drivers blind spot of course and where they are not able to see car, people, and other objects. It also helps with accident close near, and traffic jams too. Not to mention you can relax about having to go the right speed limit and about trying to multie task while driving. It is a great asset to the future.
However the car is not garunteed to be completely safe, and for you to not pay attention to the road and other around you still. There are some negatives to the car. For instance the car could still get in accidents. Something in the car may still go wrong and you may not know it. Then if you get in the accident the person in the driver seat is held responsible for it all. Also it is not legal in some states still. So you can't just drive it wherever you feel like. Another con about the car is it may not know where to go. If you want to stop through a fast food, how would the car know how long to stop for? Same for picking up precriptions at the pharmacy, or just meeting people and getting out of the car to talk. Is there a timer or what? What happens if you want to go somewhere else while you are on the way to the first place? Does this mean you have to pull over to a safe location and type all the information in?Many people question these things because if something were to happen it would come back on them. Although it may be nice for some people, others may deal with other problems with the car.
My position with the driverless car idea is that I don't think its necessary. Although there are a lot of positive aspects tot it. Its not a garunteed safe ride home. The car can still get in accidents, and if it does hit anyone, or something you are completely responsible for all of it. The blame comes back on you. I think that this idea will make people get lazy even though the drivers are still suppose to be watching and being alert. You can't rely on the car itself. Not to mention you can put your life and others in danger by this. This information states that yeah there are some positives to the driverless car, but it can also be a mistake that you made by buying the car by your life and others being in danger. | 3 |
The Face on Mars is not an alien creation. It is a natural landform. Evidence to support this claim includes: this landform is similar to ones found on Earth that were created naturally, the technology is extremely advanced to where we would know if alien life existed, and NASA would share any evidence of life on Mars if any is found.
The Face on Mars is much like natural landforms found here on Earth, specifically in the western part of North America. It is called a mesa. In the article, "Unmasking the Face on Mars," Garvin says, "It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho." Because the atmospheres and climates of Earth and Mars are similar, it is very possible that the same type of natural landforms could be created on both planets. There has even been evidence supporting the claim that water previously existed on Mars, which could have caused erosion that formed the Face.
Technology has improved drastically within the last few decades. Specific to this research, cameras are part of that new and improved technology. NASA was able to capture outstanding photographs of the Face. It is stated in the article, "Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters, compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 Viking photo." With these sharper images, the Face no longer looked like a face. The conditions were different as well. On a cloudless day, Mars Global Surveyor captured more images of the Face. It looked like an ordinary landform.
There has never been any solid official evidence of life on the Red Planet. People think NASA may be hiding their findings of aliens on Mars. However, in paragraph five of the article, it says, "... evidence that NASA would rather hide, say conspiracy theorists. Meanwhile, defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an ancient civilization on Mars." NASA would definetly share any evidence of alien life with the public because that would be great publicity for them. It would be huge news that would spread across the world. NASA would benifit greatly from this because of all the money it would bring in.
In conclusion, the Face on Mars is not an alien formation, but a natural landform that happened to resemble a human face at one point. Some people will continue to believe that aliens do exist, but as of right now, no solid evidence has proven that theory. These are just a few reasons that support the Face as being a landform that was created naturally, but NASA has many more. As more technology is developed and NASA delves deeper into uncovering the secrets of Mars, we will anxiously await any new discoveries. | 4 |
I dont think that FACS should be able to be used in classrooms to read students emotions. Students should be able to have the abilty to feel what they want not be told how they feel.
If we have FACS in the classrooms then the kids are going to be told what they feel and not learn what they are feeling on there own. If a student is sad but doesn't want everyone to know becase they dont want to talk about it then Facs would not give that student the space they need.
FACS is reading your emotions before you know what your emotions are. Its telling you that you will be sad before you know that you will be sad. Or if someone says something mean to you and you dont know how to feel about it FACS tells you to feel happy or sad or mad.
If you want privace then FACS takes it away by reading your face. it reads it and knows your mood. it can tell when you are mad at someone or sad about something. You cant get away from your emotions so FACS will always reed them.
In conclusin i dont thin FACS should not be able to be used in classrooms because it invades peoples privace and it tells student how they are feeling before they know. | 2 |
Having technology to read students' emotions is awesome technology and should be used in todays society.
It all starts when Prof. Thomas Huang started working with Prof. Nicu Sebe to develop better ways for humans and computers to communicate. The computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; it uses your face muscles to identify what you are feeling at that moment. Dr. Pual Eckman created this new software called FACS (Facial Action Coding System). He classified six basic emotions -happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, sadness.
By having this kind of technology, teachers, parents, bosses, coaches, etc.. can see what their child/student is feeling, also what their learning; some people dont like talking about their feelings or their grades. So when people you trust know whats going on with you without you telling them is way easier. With the knowing, now they can get you the help you need because obviously you're scared to get help on your own.
All children around the world are going through something in their lives, fear, sadness, anger, boredem, confusion. When children become sad for long periods of time, they become depressed, which leads to substance abuse, isolating themselves from others, eating disorders, and injuring themselves by suicided or cutting. When children become angry this effects their learning and they start to become confused on what their learning in school so some of them drop put but, dropping out isnt always your best option, in fact; dropping out isnt a good option at all.
"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 helps children get to a learning point in school where they can understand basic tools in life, if a child does not know what they're doing and they dont want to feel embarrssed telling the teacher then the computer can identify that and help them and know one else will know so they have no reason to be embaressed.
Using a commputer to generate your emotions is unbelieable and should be used today. By using this technology it could prevent students from doing things they might regret in the future, and helping them succeed in life through not only schooling but living on their own when their older and getting a job, knowing what to do within their occupations. | 3 |
Driverless cars could be one of the best inventions in the world if they worked 100% of the time and did not need any help from a human. For now though they are still a very useful invention. There are many reasons why they would and will be in the future. Some of the reasons are, reduced human errors, reduced accidents, and less fuel usage.
If driverless cars became fully automated to the point that a driver does not even have to do anything; is when human errors connected to driving will be close to eliminated. Humans may interfear with the car every so often and cause it to do something unintended, but for the most sake it would have no errors. Being able to drive without ever having crashes would be awesome. For one there would never need to be arguements about who hit who or money down the drain because of one stupid mistake. It would help people save money if they had a car that never crashed because there was no error. It could possible help the economy if people did not ever have to put money towards fixing their car after a crash. It could also reduce the amounts of death and injury from car crashes. Which would also reduce their money spent on hospital bills and inshurance. Driverless cars could be helpful in many ways, and reducing human error could help save people money and injury.
Accidents are very bad no matter how it happens. One way accidents should not happen is car crashes. If everyone followed the rules of the road, there would be no car crashes, but not everyone follows those rules. If there was driverless cars there would be no accidents, because every car would follow the rules of the road. Cars do not text and drive last time I checked. They also do not drink and drive, call and drive, or eat and drive. They do one job only, drive. We think phone calls or responding to texts is urgent no matter the time. Well, we are wrong, I would rather keep my life rather than risk it for a text or phone call, and the same goes for drinking and driving. I would rather take a cab home than risk drinking and driving, not only because it is illeagal, but because it is also dangerous. Your life is the most important thing in the world, and a driverless car can help you savor that. For no one wants to die a death that could have been avoided.
Less fuel usage in cars would be amazing. One reason is no one likes to spend extra money if they do not have to. Lower cost is something we can all agree on. Also it would reduce our usage on the oil we are using up. If the driverless cars would reduce the fuel usage it could help us savor what we have less of, because at some point it will be gone, and when it does we need a backup plan. If we could cut our fuel usage in half right now, it could give us some time to think of something else to fall back on when we get close to losing all of our resources. Driverless cars could be the first step towards that goal.
Driverless cars could have a huge impact on the world we live in today. From saving lives to saving money to saving our resources, driverless cars are expected to help the world a lot. They will be able to help people that are careless today, which could end up savning a life down the road. Driverless cars will be a new start to a new beginning. | 3 |
Driverless cars would'nt be substaintial to todays society. There's people that drive that are irresponsable with cars that needs a driver, So what would happen if there are driverless car? Besides whats the point of a driverless car if you still need a driver to navigate through situations? Then you have the drunk drivers who may think that it's okay to drive home drunk since they techniacally wont be the ones driving. Overall driverles cars would just be unsafe
People today are already irresponsible with driving, especially teens. There are the car races or teens that thinks its okay to just drive at any mile they want, run stop lights and etc. People may thionk that since driverless cars are computer based there would be less accidents or people who just have road rage, but technology isnt always reliable. there can be malfucntions. What if a driver is in the middle of traffic and the car is having technical difficultkies so the car just spins out of cointrol and cant be handled.
Thats also affecting the drivers around them.
If the car still needs a driver then it should'nt be called a driverless car. What if someone elderly accidentyly falls asleep in a driverless car and theres an accident ahead and they dont realize they have to control tghe car to pass by it safely. theres so many malfunctions and things thast can go wrong with driverless cars that it just would nt be safe. There are people who have low attention spans. so driver cant realize that there maybean ambulance or a car accident or anything that they would ha ve to grab a hold of the wheel and get passed it safely.
People that drive home drunk. So drunk drivers may think it still would be safe to drive home drunk, but oit can still cause accidents because you still need a driver. It shouldnt be okay for drunk drivers to drive in a car in and circumstance, its just still too unsafe in conclusin, driverless cars wouldn't be safe for society. it can cause many malfunions. there can be many more accidents and drunk driving cabnescolate and cause things just to be unsafe. | 2 |
Venus is part of our solar system and i will tell you what i know about the reading article of exploring Venus. Venus is on of the brightest point of light in the sky when is the night. Is simple to see even for the distant and Nenus is the second planet for our sun.
Venus is the closest planet to Earth of size. Venus, Mars and the Earth orbit the sun at different speeds. Some numerous factors contiribute to Venus reputation as a challenge planet to study. The atmosphere of 97% of carbon dioxide blankets on Venus, in the planets temperatures over 800 degrees Fahrenheit. Venus has the hottest temperature of any planet in the solar system. Also Venus have weather and geology, powerful earthquakes and probes seeking to a land on its srface.
Our solar system is so inhospitable because astronomers are impresionated by Venus because it may be well once have been the most Earth planet in our solar system. Venus is probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported varios forms of life. Venus seems indisputable to value the returning. The NASA has one particulary compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus. The solar power must be pletiful and the radation would not be exceed to the Earth leveles.
However at Venus from a ship orbiting above the planet can provide only limited insight on ground conditions because the light can't penetrate the dense atmosphere. The researches cna't take samples of rock, gas, or anything else.The researches are working on innovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully. However the NASA is working on other approches to study Venus. Another project is looking back to an old technolog called "mechanical computers" During the world war II in the role 1940, were the first envisioned in the 1800s.
In conclution this term is so interesting to study becuase you can learn so many tings about our solar system but it s | 1 |
"The Electoral College process consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress." There are 538 electors in the Electoral College. In order for a candidate to become President, a majority of 270 votes is required. I am in favor of the Electoral College because of the certainity of outcome and becouse of the states.
First, I am in favor of the Electoral College because of the certainty of the outcome. Because of the number of electors is even means that there could be tie. But, people don't understand that is very unlikely. As said in Source 3: In Defense of the Electoral College: Five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the President, "A dispute over the outcome of an Electoral College vote is possible-it happened in 2000- but it's less likely than a dispute over the popular vote." So, most of the things that people stress over about the Electoral College are very unlikely to hsppen.
Secondly, I am in favor of the Electoral College because of the states. Two types of states are big states and swing states. Big states are the states that have the largest population that "the Electoral College restores some of the weight in the political balance" on. One of the other types of states are the swing states. Swing states use the winner-take-all method. Swing states don't vote for the President based on his or her political party. They vote for the President based on who they are or who they like better out of the candidates so you never really can know who they are going to vote for.
In conclusion, I am in Favor of the Electoral College because of the certainty of outcome and because of the states. The Electoral College have sources to rely on so that it won't fail. Most people just don't realize it because there has been a couple problems with the Electoral College before but, the Electoral College is a good system to have. | 3 |
In my opinion, I don't think that you should use technology to read emotions for classes. I think that because the students should know whether someone is sad, happy, or angry even if it's hard to tell. They should not use technology to tell someone emotions, that means that they're going to use that technology more and more and it could either damage the future or probably fix the future but I think that they shouldn't use it. For people that can't tell how someone is feeling, it can be harderfor them to tell because even though that technology is in one class, it could be in any class and people that don't know how to tell emotions, it can get harder for them because all they can remember is looking at the computer and not looking at an actual person face figuring out how they feel. It shouldn't be in classes because it'll most likely cause problems for people who have trouble seeing emotions and causing peopleto use it more insread of looking at someone's face and saying that it's hard to tell either if they're sad or angry.
Technology is big nowadays, which mean more and more new inventions would come into the future. Yes, this invention can work pretty good but it can also cause problems. Just by looking at the muscles of the human face on a computer doesn't mean you can tell that one person is angry or happy, there's so many emotions in one person and you can guess angry but instead they're sad. I think that students in class that has this technology should look at people's faces and tell if they're sad or happy. The Mona Lisa is an amazing example, it's hard to tell if she's either mad or happy, and instead of using technology to figure that out, look at her face and see if she's either angry or happy.
If this technology is in every class, then student's would just guess based on that technology to see if someone is happy or sad. Student's should use paintings or pictures to tell that person emotions. I think that the only time to use that technology is to look at the face muscles and not just telling if someone is happy or sad. If someone that I know is sad would I use that technology? Absolutely not, I'll just look at their and see if they're sad or not. So my opinion on this is don't use it for people's emotions, use it to just look at the face muscles and describe what they are. | 1 |
The Electoral College has been around for many years. It is not an actual college, or location. It is a process where American citizens select their electors, however proceeding that the electors make their votes for President and Vice President; Congress counts for electoral votes. But, the Electoral College is a very controversial process, many people are for it, but many are also against it. Some even wanting to get 'rid of the Electoral College overall. We should ban the Electoral College for it does not satisfy American people.
Electors in the Electoral College can vote for whomever they want, giving American people the wrong idea and vote for the wrong presidential candidate. In the article (source 2) "The Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong" it states, "Can voters control whom their electors vote for? Not always. Do voters sometimes get confused about the electors and vote for the wrong candidate? Sometimes." This quote from the article shows that not always can the American people be guaranteed who their electors vote for, and electors can give voters the wrong information and vote for the opposing candidate. This would be going against American people, dissatisfying them. In the article (source 3) by Richard A. Posner it states, "It can be argued that the Electoral College method turn off potential voters for a candidate who has no hope of carrying their state-- Democrats in Texas, for example, or Republicans in California." American people can be confused, infused with the wrong information by Electors, and vote for a candidate that has no interest in carrying their state.
Larger states get more attention than the smaller states due to their high number of electoral votes. In the article (source 3) by Richard A. Posner it says, "The popular vote was very close in Florida [in 2012]; nevertheless Obama, who won that vote, got 29 electoral votes. A victory by the same margin in Wyoming would net the winner only 3 electoral votes." Obama had won 29 electoral votes in Florida (high number) due to him making speeches and campaigns throughout the state. Paying his upmost attention to that state due to the high number of electoral votes he was trying to gain. Whereas in a smaller state such as Wyoming, he would not want to waste time paying much attention there where he can only gain 3 electoral votes! This is simply unfair and at most dissatisfying for the citizens who live in the smaller states with low electoral votes such as Hawaii, Alaska, Maine, Rhode Island, etc.
The Electoral College has been around for a long time, and in the end we DO receive a president in the end. But, imagine if this unfairness keeps going every four years an election happens. American people not being guaranteed their candidate, smaller states not getting as much campaign as the larger ones, etc. We do though, receive a president in the end. But what if it's a president that we do not want? That we were not fairly given? Just look at what happened with George Bush! There are many simple advantages to the Electoral College, but there are also many concerns that can outnumber.
The Electoral College should be gotten rid of because of how unfair it is to American citizens. If the issues with the Electoral College are not taken care of in the present, just imagine what our future elections will be like. Us American people need to take a stand against the Electoral College, and the process involved. Once a new popular process is created and introduced, it can provide us more justice and fairness than the Electoral College. | 4 |
You should come participate in the Seagoing Cowboys program because there are many huge exsperiences in life and this is a huge exsperience that I promise that you will not forget about. Some reason why you should join this program is because it is a great opportunity. Another great reason is because you will learn a lot about responcibility and hard work. More good statements baout why you should join this program is that you will go to many different places and not only see the place but learn about the country/state to. So come join because you will get an exsperience of a lifetime.
I believe that you should come and participate in this program because in the article Luke said, "The cattle-boat trips were an unbelievable opportunity for a small town boy," so if Luke liked the exsperience himself then I bet that you will to. Some more statements why you should come to the program is because most people dont get an opportunity like this one to come to amazing trips and places like this. Its also great because in the article at the very bottom it says that it helped with knowing other peoples needs. These are great reasons why you should join. not only does it an excperience of a lifetime but it shows responcibility.
So it might sound dangerous to but going to these places and learning about them and also learning responcibility is an exsperience of a lifetime. So those are many good reasons why you should come participate in the Seagoing Cowboys Program. | 1 |
The challenge of exploring Venus they sent people to go discover it and it is really close to Earth it's closer than any other planet's. Venus is called Evening star it's one of the brightest points of the light in the night sky. It is going to talk about how it is going to be different there and it's simple to see from earth because it is kinda close.
The National Aeronautics and space administraion(NASA) has an idea of sending humans to go explore Venus to see how it is there. They want to study it so they know how life works there so scientists could know about it. NASA possible solutiin to the hostile conditions on the surface Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray. The temperatures woild still be hot at around 170 degrees fahrenheit but the pressure would be close to sea level from earth.
NASA is going to be working on studying venus like some simplified electronics of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulatiing the chaos of venus's surface. So they can get an idea how it is going to be when they get to the surface so they will be ready because they already did some testes for that. The only thing it only lasted for Three weeks in conditions.
There is another project from an old techology called mechanical computers. Computers existing in 1800s may sound shocking but they calulations by using gears and levers they dont not require electroics at all. Now we have computers that are more powerful, flexible, and quick but they tend to delicate when it comes up to extreme physical comditions.
To meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of its insight to be gained on the planet itself. Humans will lead us into many equal intimidating endeavors. On earth shouldn't be limited by dangers and doubts to expanded.
NASA should just study it more to see if there is any danger that can cause to humans. They should do more testes and try out new things and not to be scared of it because if they don't study it well and send people to live there they might now live the best. So NASA did a good thing about sending people to study venus. They will know now what they could had done better for the next time they send humans back there again. | 2 |
To start this off it would be a great idea to study venus because it's some much different then earth. When looking at it from earth soemthimes it called Evening stars. Which is one of the brightest points of light in the night sky.
Venus is alot different but at the same time alot alike. Venus is like earths twin its closest planet to earth in desity and size. Sometimes we arent as close to venus as we can be to mar. Mars, Earth, and Venus go around the sun at differsnt speed even though they are close to one an another.
To conclude these two planets are very close but canbe very different. Earth has two planet that arent alike and different then it. Mars and venus, but these three can be really similar but very different in many ways. We have life here on Earth but mars and venus do not that we know of. | 1 |
Dear State Senator,
I feel that you should keep the Electoral College. They help vote to decide the President as well as the Vice President. "The Electoral College consists of 538 electors. A majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the President ."
Each candidate running for President in your state has his or her own group of electors. Lots of states have a "winner-take-all" system. This system awards every elector to the winning presidential candidate. People would say that the Electoral College should be gone, they would say it is a disaster factor. "The American people should consider themselves lucky that the 2000 fiasco was the biggest election crisis in a century; the system allows for much worse." This was very bad, but nothing has been worse which shows that the Electoral College has been in control. Also after the elections the governor gives out a "Certificate of Ascertainment" this shows which electors will represent your state. So Mr. State Senator I hope that you dont get rid of the Electoral College.
From,

Schools are full of kids getting their education. Not all of these kids actually care about learning though. Many are only there because they have to be. A new technology called Facial Action Coding System could help lessen the negative attitudes of these types of students. We have the technology to find out how a student feels about the lessons they're receiving. We can figure out what types of lessons interest students the most. This wouldn't fix everything or be the best method for every student but it would definitely be valuable to have this kind of technology.
Every teacher has their own method of teaching and every student learns differently from one another. This shouldn't be changed. However, we can make the students more engaged and interested in their education. This won't work for every student, but it can help with many. Facial Action Coding System is a new software that reads the muscles of the human face to figure out what a person is feeling. This could detect what interests, bores, upsets, and delights students. This would allow the computer to help the teacher to plan lessons that have the most positive effect on the students. The software reads the muscles on the face and uses that to detects what they like or don't like. The software could then alter the lesson plan to make it so that it is in a way that the students would most benefit from. Not every single student will have the same opinion as another or take out the same amount of information from a lesson as another, but this could definitely help teachers to see what works for certain students.
Facial Action Coding System could be a very valuable technology for educating the youth. We have the technology to figure out what does and doesn't work when trying to teach students. Some students wouldn't benefit from the same things as others but this could still be very valuable to the teacher to see what students benefit from a certain type of lesson. This could help many dissengaged students to find interest in their education instead of dozing off in class. | 2 |

In a suburb city in Germany, people have quit using their cars. Why ? so the communtiy can create denser cities and so people can walk with more space and not worrying about any car accidents that could happen while their walking or driving an automobile. Paris has also banned the use of automobiles so that the air inthe community can perhaps not get too polluted with gas, oil, and other chemicals that damage us. Here a are few advantages people can optain with these new rules and laws.
If fewer automobiles are used during day and night, people who walk from work, or ruuning errands can have an easier time breating the less-polluting air. In many locations around the world has residents that don't own or use a car or motorcycle because this can benefit the community by making it safer to walk. I source 4, the passage shares information about percentages of young people that own cars, but rarely use them on a daily basis. Source 3 talks about a couple cities in Colombia declining car use since a variety of people in Colombia have car and motorcycle access, the streets get polluted extremely easy, so residents tried to reduce the amount of smog in the community.
My grandfather who live in Cali, Colombia for example, dislikes relying on his car so much to travel places. Many times, he walks to certin locations beacuse he explained to people who lives on his street the damage car oil and gas can effect the communtiy harmfully. To many people, driving cars is the normal way to get to places, but to others, walking is their best option. | 1 |
In Germany, Life has been going on without cars for years. Street parking, driveways and home garages have been generally forbidden in this experimental new district they have going on. Vauban's streets are completely "car-free" -except for a few streets on one edge of the community. Vauban's families usually do not own cars, and some sell their cars to move. Vauban, completed in 2006, the united states was seperating the suburban life from auto use, as a component of the movement that is called "smart-planning." Gas emissions are huge to current efforts to make cities denser, and better for walking but these basic precepts are being adopted around the world in attempts to make public transportation more accessible. Experts expect public transport to be much larger in a new federal transportation bill.
Unlike Paris, Paris is banning driving to clear the air of the global city. People were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a fine. A lot of drivers were fined. Beijing, China were both known as one of the most polluted cities in the world. Cold nights and warm days caused the warmer layer of air to trap car emissions. Diesel was blamed, since France has tax policy that favors diesel over gasoline. Paris typically has more smog than any other capitals. Because of the smog public transit was free of charge.
Bogota on the other hand had a car-free day. Millions hiked, biked, skated, or took buses to work during this car-free day. This car-free day devoided traffic jams. The goal for this event was to promote alternative transportation and reduce smog. Violators faced $25 fines. Car-free day turned out to be large. Even rain did'nt stop people from participating in this event. Car-free day is also a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution. Cali and Valledupar joined the event for the first time. Other countries came to see this event. These people who invented a car-free day are generating a revolutionary change to today's world. The day without cars is part of an improvement in Bogota in the mid-1990's.
In today's world, President Obama has ambitious goals to shift in American behavior. America's love affair with it's vehicles seems to be slowing down by population growth. The internet makes telecommuting possible and allows people to feel more connected without driving to meet new friends. Cellphones and car-pooling has been more flexible. Pedestrian, bicycle, private cars, commerical and public transportation are woven to connect network to save time, conserve resources, lower emissions and improve safety.
With all these changes, it all reflects to new priorites across the nation to fellow citizens to limit car usage in the future. | 0 |
I strongly disagree they sound not use a computer to express how people feel, I think if a person wants you to know how they feel they will tell you. As the passive provides, "Empathy ( feeling someone ele's emotional state) may happen because we unconsciously imitate another person's facial expressions" (Nick D'Alto). This showes the readers that really anyone can change there emotions and make you think they feel this way because we have the ability to change just how we feel, we have self control over it. people can creat a facial expression like how they do in acting when they computure reads your face. So if i person wants to express how they feel wth other they will tell you, but you dont need technolgy to have a person tell u how they feel." For instance, you can probably tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look on her face" ( Nick D'Alto). This showing that a human eye can detect the emotion by a facial expression." Imagin a computer that knows when you're happy or sad" ( Nick D'Alto) First off that would be creepy but, most important can a computure change the way you feel by telling you how you feel? Wouldnt you know how you feel? " A classroom computer could reconize when a student is becoming confusted or bored," DR . HUnang predicts. If you look at a students face you can tell by they way there face expression is that they are confused or bored. Plus you in school most likley your bored. If a student is confused they are also able to ask any questions. Most students feel stupid when they as what something is or what it means, but not asking doesnt help. So you can truly tell how people feel. | 2 |
Do you want to be a Seagoing Cowboy? You should because there are lots of cool places to see. Also you can have a fun time on board. Third you get to help others in need. So listen to what I have to say.
First you get to see a lot of unique places. In the passage it states that Luke(or I) got to take a gondola ride in Venice, Italy. He also visited an excavated castle in Crete. I also marveled at the Panama Canal on my way to China. I loved it So I know you will. You should also go to help others that need help.
You will get to help others in need if you become a Seagoing Cowboy. First, in the passage it states that I had to feed and water the animals atleast two or three times a day. Second, if you are eighteen you could get drafted. That's another way to help. In the passage it stated that I could get drafted, so they told him to stay there and keep working with the Seagoing Cowboys. Third you also get to help work with the Seagpoing Cow boys. If you are a good worker and kind this would be a great job. If you like the Seagoing Cowboys you will like the fun.
In the passage it states that I had fun on board. One reason is they would play volley ball, baseball,and table tennis. Also, the Seagoing Cowboys did fencing and boxing. Except if you are layed back and calm you can read! You have a lot of fun things you can do on board.
In conclusion, you get help. You get to have fun. Last but not least you ge to see a lot of amazing places! So, to sum it all up... you will have a blast if you become a Seagoing Cowboy. | 2 |
Cars have been the main use for transportatation from one distant destination to another. The population is relying on cars more often to get them to were they need to be. Everyone in the communities are becoming lazier and cannot bother to grab a bike or even a pair of skates to help them get where they need to go. More and more of the population do not want to walk to the store which is usually down the street. Cars have even been polluting the atmosphere causing numerous issues, such as health problems and even a rise in the temperature of the planet. The purpose of this essay is to inform fellow citizens of the advantages of limiting car usage.
By limiting the amount of cars we have in the country or even by reducing the days one can use their car, can dramatically reduce the pollution in the atmosphere and also cause citizens to become more active and healthy. "Street parking, driveways and home garages are generally forbidden in this experimental new district on the outskirts of Freiburg, near the French and Swiss borders."(Source 1, Paragraph 2). Vauban is one community to begin their journey to becoming a car reduced area. "As a result, seventy percent of Vauban's families do not own cars, and fifty-seven percent sold a car to move here."(Source 1, paragraph 3). As said by one of the residents, "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way," said Heindrun Walter, a media trainer and mother of two, as she walked verdant streets where the swish of bicycles and the chatter of wandering children drown out the occasional distant motor."(Source 1, paragraph 3).
Paris is another city to take on the challenge of limiting the use of cars. Paris is a city where there is an abundance od smog and pollution. "After days of near-record pollution Paris enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city."
(Source 2, paragraph 10). Because of such effort, "Congestion was down sixty percent in the capital of France, after five-days of intensifying smog..."(Source 2, paragraph 14). By limiting car usage citizens have only one option, to get up find a bike or running shoes and set out for the day. By doing this the peoples can become very healtthy and reduce the chances of life treatening illnesses, such as cancer and others such as diabetes and lung and heart problems. Just think of the environment, by using less cars we can lower of even completely stop the effects of global warming which can lower the the rising of the sea and help to stop the destruction of the ozone.
"BOGOTA, Colombia-In a program that's set to spread to other countries, millions of Colombians hiked, biked, skated or even took buses to work during a car-free day yesterday, leaving the streets of this capital city eerily devoid of trafic jams."(Source 3, paragraph 20). These simple and energizing activities can get you to where you need to be and also gets and keep you active and moving. "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution," said businessman Carlos Arturo Plaza as he rode a two-seat bicycle with his wife."(Source 3, paragraph 24). "Different things are converging which suggest that we are witnessing a long-term cultural shift, " said Mimi Sheller, a sociology professor at Drexel University and director of its Mobilities Research and Policy Center."(Source 4, paragraph 35). The world is changing and with it the health of the people and the condition of the environment.
By taking time from using motor vehicles we can lower the pollution of the world and improve the health of the people who live in it. By lowering the production of cars, citizens will have no choice but to grab their bikes or skates or even running shoes and begin to move. The time is now for the community to change. Many different cities have already started their change with cars and now is the time for you to join in the movement. One step at a time. | 3 |
Mostly everybody man focused today is when i become a teenager , get a job and get my first CAR .Cars are good to get around but there are some advantages of limiting car usage , like pollution and more money you have in you pocket for youself. Thats sounds good right? I know !
To begin with ,Paris has banned driving to smog (pollution towards the greenhouse).Contaminated air we breathe isn't good for are lungs-just are health period. Consuming to much carbon and make us very sick and ill. Somethings we need to get to are pretty far and to get to places on time is faster by car- which most people think but isn't the case. Cold nights and warm days caused the warmer layer of air to trap car emissions. Plug-in cars , hyrbrids , and or cars carrying three or more passengers would be good but what about are power plants , cant they be used for something else? Cars are a good tool to have but its causing problems in our greenhouse that we need to stop
Meanwhile in Bogota , car free day is going in a great path. Many of us been in traffic jams before,right? Sitting at a light 3 times before you get to go .Do you ever think walking would be faster ? On car free day in Bogota,Colombia Colombians didnt use there cars and didnt complain about it ; they used bikes,skates or skateboards , even took a bus! Now, thats sounds like some good resources to me. We all like good days and not stressed one so leave the car in your drive way and start using other things to get you to where you have to go. This could be a community thing to everyone aound you , every citie , and every state.
Fouthermore , Car dealer ships need business to , start making that dont produce alot of pollution into the air we breathe , use resources that wont cause mot damage , the ozone layer isnt at its best and we need to save it before it gets worse , take action before its to late !
In Conclusion , can be very useful but why use them alll the time ? theres other things that can get us around like bikes , buses or even just walking . Driving all the time can be a bad habit . Pollution is a biggie as well , pollution are air is very unhealthy , but car makers are about what the car is about and not what its producing to are world. No need for gas today ; ill walk! | 2 |
In 1976, Viking 1 traveled Mars to search for a place that its "sister", Viking 2 could land on by taking photos of different areas of the planet. While taking these pictures, Viking 1 snapped an image of what looked to be a human face on a region of Mars called Cydonia. Since then, two other photos have been taken by Viking 1 in the years 1998 and 2001.
Scientist figured it was just another Martian mesa but what made them a little uneasy about that soulution was the face that looked like an Egyptian Pharaoh. The head was around 2 miles long from end to end and was formed by shadows that gave off the illusion of eyes, nose, and a mouth. Because of the human-like features that appeared in the photos, people began to believe that the "face" was hard evidence that there was some kind of human life on Mars. Due to the fact that some scientist believed that the face was an alien artifact and the picture was the topic of discussion in places all around the world, scientist had to work even harder to find out what the photograph actually showed.
On April 8, 2001 when scientists went back to Cydonia for the third time and snapped an amazing picture using the cameras best lense. The picture that they captured was evidence that proved wether or not life on mars truly existed. With countless hours of research, scientist discovered that the picture actually showed the Martian equivalent landform of a butte or mess, which are common in West America. | 1 |
In 1976 there was a mysterious face found on the planet Mars. I'm a scientist at NASA space station discussing some accusations about this face. Some people are beginning to believe that the face was created by aliens. However, that is not the case here. This mysterious face was simply created by natural causes and happens to just have distinct features of a human face.
My first reason as to why this face is a natural landform is because there is no scientific proof that aliens have ever existed on Mars, or anywhere else. If there is no proof of these aliens living then how could they have possibly been able to create such an artifact. Plus, believing that this was caused by natural causes is way more believable then relying on unproven research that aliens once existed.
My second reason to this being just a natural landform is scientists believe the nose,eyes, and mouth of the figure are created by shadows giving it an illusion of a human face. This attracted the public which is exactly what NASA wants. So, NASA is using the illusion of this human face to attract more attention to their program and Mars itself. By doing this it is making most people believe the face was created by aliens, which it in fact wasn't. Evidence of this is when the article, Unmasking the Face on Mars states, "Meanwhile, defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an ancient civilization on Mars."
My third and final reason this mysterious face is just a natural landform is that is resembles features of landforms common in American West. For example, Garvin states, "It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho." "That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars," Garvin also says. If this face resembles American Western landforms so much then it must be a natural landform itself.
Although there are reasons this face wasn't created by aliens there are some conspiracies involving NASA. One is that people believe NASA has already found traces of life on Mars and would rather keep that sceret from the public. This is believable because NASA wouldn't want to alarm the public of extraterrestrial lifeforms and create panic. Although it could create panic, NASA should want to inform the public because it could cause support of NASA and thier findings instead. For example, people could start donating money to the company to help with further research and have more knowledge about what they do.
This mysterious face on the surface of Mars is no more than a natural landform. It was not caused by aliens because there is no scientific proof. NASA wants the public to believe it is a cause by aliens so they could get more publicity for it. I mean, this face has already starred in a Hollywood film, appeared in books, magazines, radio talk shows, and even haunted grocery store checkout lines for 25 years. It's had enough publicity and does not deserve anymore because of the fact that it is just a natural landform caused by natural changes, not aliens. | 4 |
Others should not participate in the Seagoing Cowboys program. It is a very dangerous and risky thing to do. The waves can also make people scared because they don't want the ship to flood and sink.
The Seagoing Cowboys program is not good for your body. It can get you seriously injured like when Luke Bomberger slide down a slippery latter on his backside and cracked his ribs. Luke Bomberger almost died by flying over the edge of the ship, but a small strip of metal alonge the edge stopped his slide. That is a way you can die participating in the Seagoing Cowboys program.
Another reason the Seagoing Cowboys program is bad for you is because you can get sick. You can get seasick by being on a boat too long. This could lead to you throwing up. You can also get homesick by being away from home, sailing too much. You also take the risk of getting killed or drowning and never seeing your family again.
Being a Seagoing Cowboy is bad for your body. You can risk getting sick, injured, or dying. Therefore others should not participate in the Seagoing Cowboys program. | 1 |
