My position on driverless cars is that there should be driverless cars in the world. I think that is we had driverless cars that there would be less crashes, and if you are intoxicated in any way that the car can drive for you so there wouldnt be any drunk drivers on the road. But the setback of the driverless cars are that if you are intoxicated and there is a crash or something then you would have to take over the wheels while intoxicated. As it says in the passage, " they still alert the driver to take over when pulling in and out of driveways or dealing with complicated traffic issues."
I also think that the driverless cars are needed in the world today because if you are a truck driver and you do that for a living, that can get really tiring, especially after 24 hours of staright driving. So if you need to relax and you need to go to sleep just lie back and take a nap. Also it says in the passage that you need to stay alert. You can fall asleep and the car can wake you up. Also another good reason why we should have self driving cars is that if you have a permit and you are just starting out to drive you can put on the self driving function and the car will drive and then you can take notes from the car driving. Also if you just got your lisence and you are scared just turn that function on and you will be set for when you are ready and not scared to drive.
There are some setbacks to the system though. Say when you are driving and you get in a crash it is going to cost a ton of money to get that car fixed because it can drive itself. Another one is not alot of people in the world will be able to afford one because the car can drive it self, and the manufactures wont make profit off of the product if they dont raise the price over what they put into the car. Also another setback is what if you are on the interstate going 70-80 miles and hour and the car in fron of you just suddenly stops, the self driving car will not be quick enough to turn or swerve out of the cars way. But overall of the whole driverless car system, I think that the whole syatem is a thumbs up! | 3 |
There are several different benefits of limiting car usage. Diesel fuel from cars tend to polute the air, so the less people use cars the less air pollution there will be. People will walk more than they did before with the limitations of car usage. The roads will also have less "congestion" or car traffic. These benefits are very helpful in many ways as to why car usage should be cut back for a while.
Over the years, air pollution has become a big problem everywhere. It basically poisons us with the air we breathe. When you have restrictions or limitations on car usage, it will help a lot because the less toxis chemicals you have in the air, the healthier it is for everybody, and the more safer the environment is.
Another benefit of limiting the car usage is people will walk more than they ever had before. For example, you usually don't walk unless you really have to, like when you're going shopping, walking a dog, or walking in school. But when you have a car and you're trying to get to a destination that's walking distance, you'll tend to get lazy and just drive that short amount of distance instead. We as humans don't walk until we actually HAVE to. Other examples as in, going to the grocery store to pick up a few things, walking the dog, mowing the lawn, etc. So the limitation on cars will help SO much more because it will actually MAKE people walk.
When you live in over-populated areas, congestion happens a lot. Congestion in this situation means car traffic. Congestion is very time consuming sometimes because the more traffic there is, the less time you have to complete a task you were planning on doing. Less cars on the road is a very good benefit to limitating car usage, a benefit to time, and a benefit to people on every level.
These are some of the benefits of limiting car usage. The air we breathe will be less polluted by a LOT, people will excersize and walk more, and there will be less congestion (car traffic), which will save more time. These benefits will help everyone in many different ways. | 2 |
You should join the Seagoing Cowboys! In this program, we go on several adventures to different countries to help recover the food supplies, animals, and more. The UNRRA created the Seagoing Cowboys program to help recover the damages of World War II, which you can be one of the people to help!
If you think we barely go places, then you're wrong. I have sailed and ocean 18 times while being a Seagoing Cowboy! You might think it takes a massive time out of your life, but it really doesn't. To cross the Atlantic Ocean from the eastern coast of the United States took me only two weeks! Also, it only took a month to get to China! If you think it is boring, you are wrong once again. When we are sailing across the ocean, we play multiple games, such as baseball and volleyball!
This is why you should join the Seagoing Cowboys program. I got to help others that have been effected by World War II. I also got to sail around and see other countries you have wanted to see. I got to sail around the world playing volleyball and baseball while I waited! I only had one or two duties to do, besides that it is all fun! Before I had a boring life, but when I joined it was full of adventures! | 1 |
The Face on Mars was not created by aliens. There are more facts to prove that aliens have nothing to do with the Face on Mars. There are less facts to prove that aliens did it. Use commen sense. Don't assume somethig without having facts to back it up.
The first fact that tells us that it was not aliens is, scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia, only this one had unusal shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharoah. A few days later NASA unveiled the image for all to see. The caption noted a "huge rock formation...which resembles a human head...formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose and mouth." This tells us that aliens didn't make it, and that it just formed from shadows that made it look like a face on mars when it was just an illusion.
In the text it states, thousands of anxious web surfers were waiting when the image first appeared on a JPL web site, revealing...a natural landform. There was no alien monument after all.
Furthermore, the picture actually shows the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa-landforms common around the American West. "it reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho," says Garvin. "That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars."
Those were some facts that tell us that aliens didn't have nothing to do with the Face on Mars. It was just an illusion. It made people wonder if there was life on Mars or if there use to be an ancient civilzation on Mars. But, in the end it was just a rock formation. There are more facts to back up that aliens didn't do it. There are less facts to prove that aliens did do it. People saw the picture of the Face on Mars and assumed it had to do with aliens since it looked so much like a face. But, its best to not assume something before you have strong facts to back it up. The Face on Mars isn't forgotten though. It's still something amazing that happend on Mars. It was the first time that something so amazing was caught on camara on Mars. It might never be seen again. We can always remember it as the Face on Mars. | 3 |
Using technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom could be valueable. It can help actors learn how to make a smile or frown look real, it can help a teacher figure out if a student needs more help just by scanning his or her face, and it can help us figure out what our friends are realling feeling.
First, movies are a big part of our life. It is never fun to go to watch a movie and see that the actors arent good they either look like they dont know what they are doing or they try looking sad and actually look like the happest person on earth. with this technology like the arthour says " Drama coach, Constantin Stanislavsky, had his actors carefully reproduce smiling and frowning as a way of creating these emotions on stage". This shows that even just practicing a fake smile for a movie or for when you are on stage could make the play seem better than it already would be of the actors didnt know how to put on a real smile.
Facial action coding system can also be helpful in the class room so when you have a kid on the computer you can see if they are strugging and they need more help or if they are powering through it and need a bit more of a obsticle to go through. like in in the article " A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confussed or bored...it could then modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor". This could help a teacher out cause they cant always tell of a student is having trouble. they also dont always see the when they are doing their work at home. This is like the teachers second hand man when coming to helping students get the help or challenge they need.
Lastly, you may have a friend that you cant tell if they are sad or happy because . The article states " Most of us would have trouble actually describing each facial trait that conveys happy, worried, etc". You never if a friend is putting on a fake smile to keep you from getting down, but thats just hurting them even more so you sometimes have to do things yourself and get them the help they need.
In conclusion, I believe that being about to see someones emotion just by scanning their face could be very helpfull to get kids the help they need or the challenge, helping a friend get through a rough time, and making movies better. | 3 |
Dear Mr.Senetor,
My name is PROPER_NAME. The Electoral College is a great way to choose the President, but at the same time it isn't because it's not fair for everyone. That is why i believe the Electoral Collge system should be no more.
"At the most basic level, the electoral college is unfair to voters. Because of the winner-take-all system in each state, candidates don't spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning, focusing only on the tight races in the "swing" states." It's not only not fair to the voters, but it also isn't fair to the people trying to campaign to be President. Everyone should have the opporitunity to run for President. They may have something meaningful to say and you never know if they actually have the potential to be the President or not if you don't give them a chance.
"The winner-take-all method of awarding electoral votes includes the candidates-as we saw in [2012] election- to focus their campaign efforts on the toss-up states...Voters in the toss-up states are more likely to pay close attention to the campaign-to really listen to the competing candidates-knowing they are going to decide the election." Yes, the toss-up states like Florida or California are most likely to be more recognized and listened to, but it is not fair to the "swing" states. They are just as good as the people who want to be President in the other states, too. Do you think it is fair that a man in Oklahoma is running for President, but no one is paying attention to him because he lives in a state that is rarely mentioned? No! He deserves a chance too!
So in conclusion the Electoral system may be great but, your vote should be counted also. It shouldn't only get to be the electors decision on who gets to be President, but it also shouldn't be based off the more known states. Give other states, "swing" states, a chance too. That is why i say the electoral system should be no more.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely, PROPER_NAME | 3 |
Is there a future for driverless cars? Well certainly there is lots of companies that have been getting into the buisness of driverless cars. Driverless cars are cars that need little to mininum human help. There are a tons of problems with them to this day. Some people show interest in the negative side, or against driverless cars, but others are for the driverless cars.
My view is that driverless cars are a waste of time and energy. Tons of people enjoy the ride of having control behind the wheel. Also, both cars pollute about the same. Most driverless cars are gas, electric, or both. When you look at a chart you will see that the pollution from coal and gasoline are about the same.(Only for cars) When you plug in your driverless car you are using a natural resource called coal. Coal is burned in electrical plants to produce electricity.
The other side of argument is that driverless cars are a good thing. According to paragraph one ",The car he forsees would use half the fuel of today's taxis." That sentence shows that the people that are for driverless cars see change in fuel usage. The people for this car also say that the car has human like driving skills. There also claims of this car being driverless. They also claim that some people get bored behind the wheel of a older car.
There are tons of problems with the other side of this argument. One of the problems is that they see car using less fuel than today's taxis. When in reality they are using abolute the same in coal usage. Other claim that they have stated is that the car is driverless. How can it be driverless if it still needs help through harsh traffic and consruction sites. They also claim that it saves money, but in the end the car will cost a forturne.
This arguement has become one of the hottest topics of the decade. There are people that are for driverless cars. There are also people that are agianst driverless car. When really it is all up to the driver of the car. Would you rather drive a gas powered 1973 Dodge Challenger, or would you rather sit in a driverless 2020 Mercedes-Benz? | 2 |
The computer could help in the clssroom by telling the teacher how a caertain student is acting or feeling, then the teacher could possbly recognize the face of the student without the computer. The teacher could tell how bad the student is feeling. They could prevent violent actions before the occur.
These computers can help the teacher learn more about the student and what they do when they are feeling a certain. Like when the student is confused the could use the computer and learn to see what student does when he is confused. If the student is confused again, the teacher could walk over to him/her and ask them if they need help.
The teacher could use the computer for better use. They could tell when a student is mad, and send them to the counsler to talk about the situation. If you get the mad student to the counsler, then you could help prevent fights and negative activity in schools. I feel like this computer could make schools a lot better and a lot safer.
This computer could help schools academically and help make it a better/safer place for students. The computer can help the students in so many different ways. | 2 |
People should concider becoming a Segoing Cowboy because it is an amazing experience that if you try it you will never regret doing it, because you can travel the world to help people who are in need, you can visit places such as Europe, Greece, and more. While you are on the boat travaling you can take care of the animals on the boat ! If you do decide to become a Seagoing Cowboy then while you are traviling you can learn the cultuer of the people you are visiting. Even though you are on the boat for a while you will have plenty of things
to do such as feed the animals, because the animals need food and water at least two t three times a day. And you will have to clean the animals stalls . In your spare time you can play games such s baseball, vollyball, tableyennice, fencing, boxing reading, whittling, and whole lot more. In concludsion it would be an amazing ecperience for you to
become a Seagoing Cowboy !!!! Why don't you give it a try ? | 2 |
The Face on the Red Planet
Many people are convinced that the "face" on Mars is from a living species. This is a myth. Yes, this does look like a face but there are many explanations for this. They named this form was located in Cydonia. I will explain to you what this "face" realy is.
When Viking 1 first took this picture in 1976 it really did look like a face. After that in 1998, when another picture was taken it started to fade a little bit and not look so much like a face. It started to look more like a formation with a couple of bumps in it. Then, when the lasy picture was taken in 2001 it looked just as a natural formation on a planet with a few cracks in it, nothing special.
NASA has made trips to fly over the formation. On April 5, 1998 thats when the Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia. The Mars Orbiter took a photograph ten times sharper than the original pictures. When the picture was first let out on a JPL web site, all that was revealed was a natural landform. Skeptics had tried saying that alien marking were hidden by clouds in the picture.
Finally then on April 8, 2001 on a perfect cloudless day in Cydonia Mars Global Surveyor came close enough for their second look. They took a picture that expanded 1.56 meters compared to the 43 meter per pixel in the 1976 original picture. These pictures really just show the equivalent of a butte or mesa. All these landforms are common by the American West. Scientists have all the information they need to prove that is is just a landform. There is no form of life living on Mars.
In conclusion this landform was sketchy. It did trick people into thinking that there was life on Mars when there wasn't. The original photo did have people thinking that there was life on Mars. The second photo had people thinkin 50/50 on wheather there was or wasn't life on Mars. But, the last picture taken on a perfect cloudless day in the summer of 2001 showed that is really was just a landform. | 3 |
As time progresses, more and more young people aren't buying personal cars but instead use public transport or walk to where they need to go. Other than the youth, suburbs have found this as a great way to destress as some cities, like Bogota, Columbia, have dedicated a day to stop the use of personal cars for one day. This decline of using our own cars has a positive effect on our air and the way our youth has begun to travel.
People around the world are starting to make this transition from using their personal cars to using public transport or carpooling with friends. The youth today try to mange their schedules so they can find ways to use more and more of public transit. "There has been a large drop in the percentage of 16 and 39 year-olds getting a license..." (Rosenthal 38), meaning that most of the youth these days are finding it easier and, though a little more time consuming, less worrisome than buying or driving a personal car. It seems getting a license isn't taking top priority for the youth. "In a study last year found that driving by young people decreased 23 percent between 2001 and 2009..." (Rosenthal 41).Whether the youth is going to start buying cars when they have children or not, it seems the general decline of buying automobiles for yourself isn't a boom like it used to be.
Experiments being hosted all over the world in small areas also show that using no cars is decreasing pollution and allowing us cleaner air overall. In Bogota, Columbia, a program that bans all cars for one day, and despite terrible weather for the third year, and it seems that people are loving it. And despite the threatening rain, the turn out was huge (Selsky 22). "...experts say, is a huge impediment to current efforts to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from tailpipes..."(Rosenthal 5). Our personal cars "are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe and 50 percent in the United States where areas are heavily populated with car owners"(Rosenthal 5). Numbers like this would decline over time if we start using less and less cars. Maybe then we'd actually have fresh air to breath rather than the polluted air we breath now. Even in Paris, where they have "enough smog to compete with Beijing"(Duffer 14) they banned cars for a while. "After days of near-record pollution, Paries enforced a partial driving ban to clear the air of the global city"(Duffer 10). As they enforced the ban, smog started to clear up around the city, meaning that no cars can really help clear up the air we breath in daily.
As the air begins to clear up and our youth taking a stand against owning their own cars, it seems like this could be a steady decline of personal cars and more will start using public transport. It seems time is progressing to an age where young people don't feel the haste of using personal cars and instead resort to public transport. | 3 |
Have you ever thought what is a seagoing Cowboy? A Seagoing Cowboy is a group of people that transports a cattel over seas to another contry. That's why Luke dose it. To help other people.
Luke's friend decided to invite Luke onto a cattle bout. After Luke decided to join the UNRRA and become a Seagoing Cowboy.
Luke got to travle the world while takeing care of the animals they were transporting. Luke traveled 9 times. That's more than most Seagoing Cowboys. Luke got to see Greece, Europe, and China. He travled across the Pacific and the Atlantic ocean while working as a Seagoing Cowboy.
He would find ways to have some fun while on the boat while he had a break from the animals especially after the animals were delivered. They played baseball, volleyball,and tennis tournaments where the animals were held. they also whittled, read, boxed,and other games.
Luke was glad that he became a Seagoing Cowboy becauseit made him more aware of the peolpe of other contries and their needs. | 1 |
The electoral college has been used for many years. Most people think that it is a place and not a process , well it is a process. the electoral college is the selection of electors. for the process they need 538 electors, for 270 electoral votes. Each canidate has their own group. The presidential election is held every four years to elect or keep the same president for 4 years. I think that its the way to vote ,and its worked for so many years why fix it if its hasnt had a problem yet.
The electoral college is well known and has always been the way to pick our president. its a non-democratic method of selectiing the president. the other side who are for popular vote think that the electoral college is unfair and that there is not a certainty of a fair outcome. i say that if the outcome isnt fair then how are u supposse to win as a president. Having more votes as a canidate is not fair but thats how you win by having more votes.
My opinion on that is why would losing be fair thats the point one canidate wins and one loses. of couse the other person who lost would have anger and therefore be upset and say that the electoral is an unfair jugdement. The candiate wins because of the majority vote in their designated states. if the other canidate dosent have as many states he could only win by the collected vote within the states that he/she has.
popular vote would be awful and much harder to do as a process. that would mean that every one in the United States would vote who they want and it be sent to the capital to see whos victorious. Popular vote has no process or stragey or base plan to vote , and what if states dont like this idea so they revolt against the goverment. states might get together with there senate and riot in order to stop this.
In my opinion popular vote is messy, controversial and just down right uncalled for there is a plan within the electoral college and i think that they should keep was has been working. yes we are evolving as a whole but somethings are left to be the same and not tamperd with. | 2 |
Exploring Venus comes with many limitations. "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" is an example of these limitations. The author of "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" does not show enough support towards the idea of studying Venus despite the dangers and does not use enough evidice to back his claim up.
In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author does not use enough information to support the fact that spacecrafts will last on Venus. While trying to explore Venus, Spacecrafts were sent out but they did not withstand the climate of Venus not long after landing ("The Challenge of Exploring Venus" 2). This information does not support the author's idea and would limit the studying of Venus. Although the author does explain other alternative methods to explore Venus, it is not for certain they will work ("The Challenge of Exploring Venus" 7). This shows that studying and exploring Venus may not be a worthy pursuit if their attempts in creating a spacecraft that lasts on the surface of venus does not work.
The author describes multiple reasons as to why Venus's atmosphere and climate are so dangerous and does not support the alternative methods of retrieving information from the planet using human exploration. The atmosphere of Venus consists of corrosive sulfuric acid clouds and 97 percent of the atmosphere is made up of carbon dioxide. The pressure of the atmosphere on Venus is 90 times greater of what it would be on Earth and the suface of Venus can reach teperatures above 800 degrees Fahrenheit. On the surface of the planetthere are other dangerous aspects like earthquakes, volcanoes that erupt, and plentiful lightning strikes ("The Challenge of Exploring Venus" 3). The author describes multiple reasons as to why humans exploring Venus would be very challenging, if even possible, and the multiple dangers it would consist of. Researchers would not be able to get the photography, or even the samples from the surface that they need since Venus is inhabitable ("The Challenge of Exploring Venus" 6). If researchers are not able to aquire the information they need to research Venus thoroughly and without putting themselves in harms way, it shows that it is not a worthy pursuit. The author does not support his idea while explaining this.
In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus," the author does not show enough support as to why pursuing Venus is worth studying despite the dangers. Instead, under multiple instances, the author gives all the more reason we should explore from afar. The author's idea does not get across, from describing the limitations of spacecrafts and humans to the treacherous atmosphere and climate of Venus. | 3 |
A Electoral College is a meeting of the electors where they vote for president and vice president. "The founding fathers established it in the constitution as a compromise between election of the president by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a vote in Congress and the elction of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens." We should keep the Electoral College because of the certainty of outcome, that everyones president and the swing states. These are some reasons on to keep our despised method of the choosing the president.
We should keep the Electoral College because of the certainty of outcome. The certainty of outcome is a dispute over the outcome of an Electoral College. According to the passage " the reason is that the winning candidates share of the Electoral College invaiably exceeds his share of the popluar vote." For examples, President Obama recieved about 62% of the electoral vote when Romney had about 52% popular votes casted to him. Even a tie is possible because theres a total of 538 number of votes and its an even number.
Secondly,everyone is president. None if the regions has enough votes to elect a president so no favorite has power to campaign heavily. So if the favorite was Romney he will not gain any vote by by increasing his plurality in states that he knows that he will win. According to source three."the residents of the other regions are likely to feel disenfranchised-to feel that their votes do not count,that the new president will have no regard for their interests,that he really isn't their president."(Line 19) This means that the people who vote will think that its a waste of their time since their vote will not count. They will be ignored knowing that their vote will have no interest and that the president wont really be thier president.
Thirdly, we should keep it because of the swing states. The swing states is a winner-take-all method. Voters will pay more attention to the campaign because they know that they will decide on the election. They will be known as the thoughful voters because they will have recieved the most information and attention and should be the ones th decide the election. The other people wont know alot abnout the candiadates and will just pick their favorite.
Some people might argue about the disator factor. Its where there is a tie between the states. They might say what will happen then? However, thats why there is representatives. They break the tie on who to become president.
In conclusion,we should keep the Electoral college because of the certainty of outcome, everyones president and by the swing states. | 3 |
There are many advantages of limiting car use. The advantages are less pollution, less stress, and benenifical implications for carbon emissions and the environment. These advantages are good for the earth and they benifit us as a people.
The first advantage is less pollution. If the cars were limited then, there would not be fumes polluting our air. Cars run on gas which produces smoke from the mufler. Then when you drive around, the fumes and smoke comes out of the mufler and goes into the air. Therefore, it pollutes the air. With cars being limited, then we would have a better earth. To be specific, our nature would be better. But there are more advantages then just less pollution.
The second advantage is less stress. You see, in the first article Heidrun Walter says," When I had a car I was always tense. I'm so much happier this way." She was was happy because she sold his car and moved into a car free community. It says also in the first article that," As a result, 70 percent of Vauban's families do not own cars, and 57 percent sold a car to move here". It says that," Vauban completed in 2006, is an example of a growing trend in Europe, the United States and elsewhere to separate suburban life from auto use, as a component of a movement called " smart planning."
The third advantage is beneficial implicattions for carbon emissions and the environment. In the fourth passage, Michael Sivak says," What most intrigues me is that rates of car ownership per household started to come down two to three years before downturn. I think that means more fundamental is going on." The article says, " if the pattern persists-and many sociologists believe it will-it will have beneficial implications for carbon emissions and the environment, since transportation is the second largest source of America's emission."
The many advantages of limiting car usage: less pollution, less stress, and benenificial implications for carbon emissions and the environment. Thoughs things are the benifits of limiting car usage. it says in the article that," With all these changes, people who stopped car commuting as a result of the recession may find less reason to resume the habbit." | 2 |
The author supports the idea that
"Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents" very well by explaning what we would get out of exploring Venus and dangerous by the challenges Venus would give us.
In paragraph 8 of "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" the author states that " Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." what the author is saying is that we should not stop trying to explore Venus because of the danger it would put our equipment or NASA people in. Instead he wants us to create and think about something that would get us close enough to explore it with out getting in danger. In paragragh 6 of "The Challenge of exploring Venus" the author states that "NASA is working on other approaches to studying Venus" as i was stating. The author wants something that would hover arround Venus with out getting in the danger of melting or getting crushed up by the air pressure.
In conclusion the author wants us to think smarter not harder. He wants us to create safer and smarter ways to explore Venus. He doesnt want NASA in danger or wasting more equipment that would just get crushed up and melted by the atmosphere of Venus. | 1 |
The author said Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers because of each previous mission was unmanned, and for good reason, since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours. It shows that if we want to more study and get education about venus we should upgrade are meachines and aircrafts so they can survive more time on venus and scientist can more and deeply research.
A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets venus. On the venus's surface, temprature avrage over 800 degrees fahrenheit. Veanus's atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater then we experince on the earth. This is why we cannot survive at veanus too much time. It is not neccessary that on venus is everything different from earth like the air pressure on venus is close to that sea level on earth. So some things are same between venus and earth but some things are so different between earth and venus. Venus is second planet from our sun. So i think this planet can be hotter than the earth. | 1 |
I think the idea of the driverless cars is a really good idea. one reason i think it a good idea is because if i was driving and i needed something off the seat but i couldn't get it. If put the car in the mood where i didnt have u stear i would be able to get it . Another reason is why i think driverless cars is a good idea because its not like the car isn't smart is just that some pople dont like it bc they think
it'll cause an accident faster. Most accidents happen because a person isnt paying attition not because of there car not working. I think even if they did release the cars out to the public the cars wouldn't not work out because of the cars i think it would be because the public would abuse the teconolgy.This is why i think it would be a good idea to put out the driverless cars. I really think some people would like it | 1 |
In recent years many citicens have stated that the so called "face on mars" is a martion monument. Well I have but one question for those few citicens. Do you have any proof? there is nor was there ever any real evidence supporting the martion monument claim. However there is evidence proveing that the face is realy a mesa!
When we first released the origonal photo we had hoped the public would take notice of mars. Unfortunately many therorist now say that the face was undeniable proof of alien life! NASA decided that better photoes were requiered to qwell theas rummors. It took us twenty-two years to get better results. Even so the public still believed in what they thought rather than what they saw.
Three years later we recieved the best results possible. the photo not only showed no carvings but it also showed that there was no face at all! Instead we found that the face was but an ilusion! Shadowes were made by the landform creating a non-existant face!
Thus the face on mars was proven to be fake and the public became dissapointed. | 1 |
The "Face on Mars" was a popular pop icon, it starred in Hollywood film, appearing in books, magazines,even in radio talk shows. In the article, "Unmasking the Face on Mars" there are many points in the article that would support that the face is just a natural landform. But, anyway conspiracy theorists think it could be created by aliens even though there is all of this evidence to prove that wrong. In the article there are many key points to prove the conspiracy theorists' theories are wrong and that the "Face on Mars" is just a natural landform.
To support the idea that the "Face on Mars" is just a natural landform you can look into the essay. In the article, the text states," NASA's Viking 1 spacecraft was circling the planet, snapping photos of possible landing sites for its sister ship Viking 2,when it spotted the shadowy likeness of a human face." This part of the passage starts the argument because twenty five years ago their spacecraft cameras weren't as good as the ones that were in 2001. So, the picture that came out of the spacecraft was not as clear as it could have been with a 2001 camera and with the shadows forming the illusion of eyes, nose, and a mouth, people thought it could have been created by alien lifeforms. To disapproved of this idea though, the text states," on April 8,2001-a cloudless summer day in Cydonia-Mars Global Surveyor drew close enought for a second look." Also the text says," Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56meter compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 Viking photo. 'As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size,' he added 'So, if there were objects in this picture like airplsnes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see what they were!" This evidence form the ending of the paragraph ten to the end of paragraph eleven shows how much of better quality the picture would be in when taken. The final supporting detail in the passage to prove the Face on Mars is not created by is the text states,"What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a buttle or messa-landforms common around the American West" This clearly states that its just a landform called a butte or mesa that is commonly found around the American West. This evidence clearly disapproves of the "Face on Mars" is not created by aliens because we have these on Earth as well.
To conclude, the "Face on Mars" is not created by aliens and to support the text shows evidence such as high-quality pictures and comparisons to the landform to the landforms we have on Earth. | 3 |
Many people believe that the Face was made by aliens while others believe it's a natural landform. Many scientists believe that it was a natural landform which they are correct. Many people believe it was created by aliens becuase of where it is located till this very day. There are many other things on Earth that were created natural such as many mountains and volcanoes.
First, there has been many people since the pictures have came out that believe that aliens made this but why not think of natural landform. There are many and many landforms that were created naturally and many of these landforms didn't make us believe that an alien were to create it. So why believe that aliens created the Face on Mars? I guess they think that since it's in space and nobody lives on Mars it is assumed that aliens were the ones to create this.
Next, scienctists in Mars Global Surveyor has already proven that the Face was created naturally as said on the text. The first time that they came to see the amazing figure, the figure still looked a little bit fuzzy making people still believe of aliens forming it. When scientist found out of people stll believing it was aliens Gavin states, "It's not easy to target Cydonia." As they take the trip back again and took a picture the usage of their camera made the photo be seen very incredible. You could see everything very cleary making many people believe now that aliens weren't the ones to create such a beautiful figure like this one.
All though there might be still a few people that believe aliens were the ones who made it, many people can agree of how beatiful and creative this figure was made in Mars. As said on the text the Face reminds many people of different things like landforms here on Earth that was by nature and the appreciation of the Face that is still on Mars making history. | 2 |
People show emotions everyday whethter it's happy, sad, angry, excited, afriad, or confused. Expressions give off hints of the type of mood people are in. If you are frowning then you are angry or sad. If you were to be smiling you would be excited or happy. People love showing expression to a lot of things and we can be able to recognize it just by looking at them.
Sometimes you just can't seem to understand someone's expression. A lot of times you won't be able to understand what is going on with someone. Sometimes the answer is within the person's facial muscles You could try asking if they are okay, but their facial expression might be a truthful answer.
According paragraph 8, "...these muscle clues are sometimes used to spot when a
"smiling" polotician or celebrity isn't being truthful". This quote means that just because someone is smiling doesn't means that it is thier true feelings.
Luckily for everyone around the world it is about to change. Technology is a humongous part of our lives right? Well scientists have created a machine allowing people to know the true emotions of another person. That means that if students and adults are faking a happy smile, this machine will detect the truth. This device is called the Facial Action Coding System (FACS). Just how does this machine works? According to paragraph 3, " The process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles". This means that by using all 44 of the muscles in our face can determine our mood.
Nowadays teens are the main one with emotion issues. We can't tell whether they are angry or not. This machine will be able to tell us how students feel. Typically students are in a mood in which the really don't care about anything. We will eventually be able to tell what's really going on in their minds. Machines like this can change the way we see others and be able tounderstand them more. | 1 |
Driverless cars are a thing of the future. They would be very useful especially if they use less fuel than normal taxis, but in stituations where there is dangerous road conditions, like snowing flooding, and high winds, how will the car react?
With the weather always chaning will the driverless car be able keep up or will everybody just have to stop what they're doing? The weather influences driving greatly. You have to be able to drive in any condition, thats why driverless car aren't ready. If the driverless car needs someone to take over when theres road work and accidents, the same thing would happen in dangerous driving conditions. The car could not tell that there is ice on the roads. Sometimes cars hydroplane, the smart car would not be albe to right the car but, just spin out and take the impact and put lives in danger. This would increase accidents or even deaths. These cars aren't safe to drive in conditions like these. The smart car isn't smart enough to be driving in different types of weather or situations.
The car can't adapt to driving condtions, so would it be able to avoid things like pot holes and animals that run out in front of cars? Pot holes occur every where, if one of these driverless cars hits one a blows a tire the passenger could be stranded. The car couldnt have did anything to avoid the pot hole, so its not to safe. Then there are animals that jump out in front of cars last second or even people. The road is always changing and things are always happening, i dont believe the driverless car will be able to function in certain situations. Sensors can only sense so much that certain times if there is no person in the driver seat things can go wrong.
There are times in traffic that traffic ligths go out and people have to make decisions. The car can not think to stop at a flashing ready light and then yield to oncoming cars. There are situations there a person is the best option. Unless the car can think for it self. The drivrless car is too unpredicatable and can put peoples lives in danger. Accidents occur all the time, i don't believe a driverless car can avoid an ongoing accident. Then there are situations with police, or stolen cars. Would the car give away its owner if they were on the run from the police? How would traffic stops work, would the car be so perfect to not break the law? The car could be harboring fugitives or runways or even kidnapped victims. The car wouldnt be smart enought to know, its going to do what its told and drive.
i dont believe that self driving cars are ready for todays society nor will they ever be. The road is alwasy changing and the car would not be able to keep up. | 4 |
Dear State Senator,
I would like to favor on changing to election by popular votes for the president of the United Sates because it's a more reliable way of voting who our president should be because everyone in the sate who votes know who they are voting for. We, the voters, are not voting for for our President, but for a slate of electors, people who may or may not vote for who we wanted to win. Its a very tricky method of voting and we believe we should'nt use that method anymore. Also, people who are voting may not have enough knowledge on electors and vote for the wrong electors. I would also like to address the 2000 fiasco, which is the biggest election crisis in the cenurty; the systen allows for much worse. consider that state legislatures are technically responsible for picking electors, and that those electors could always defy the will of the people. In 1960, segregationists in the Louisiana legislature nearly succeeded in replacing the Democratic electors with new electors who would oppose John F. Kennedy, so that those votes for Kennedy, would not go to him. It is a really unrealiable and unfair way for the citizans to vote for who they would want tto represent this country. | 1 |
As we are growing up riding in the front seat of our parent's, friend's, brother or sister's car we desperately can't wait until it is our time to achieve our license and follow their footsteps. The thought of having the responsiblity of someone else's life while driving can scare some people, but not me. Even though there are many different types of laws enplaced in each state following driving, it is a priveldge to be able to drive, not a right. Some people are able to drive, some are not. My parents often say don't rush to get your license because driving isn't all it seems to be but I don't care to listen, I will see for myself.
There are many different occassions in movies that take place in the future that include floating cars, driverless cars, all types of advancements in technology. We all have imagined that in the future that this would be an amazing invention that everyone would love but actually in reality, not everyone favors this. People speculate the consistency and safety that comes from techonology almost everyday, through their phones, laptops, and even their very own car. But me, I'm all in for trusting driverless cars and depending on technology to ensure the safety of my life. I feel that if these automakers can put together a car that can steer, accelerate, and even brake all on themselves, I'm sure going to try it because it would just make driving all less stressful. Even though I don't even have my license yet, I am surely optimistic in the success and excitement that these driverless cars are to become in the near future.
Techonolgy advancements that have occured just in the past decade have already impacted the quality of life for the normal human being. Inventions such as the iPhone, have made billions upon billions of dollars to Apple because people love the advantages that come with them. This is just one of the many successful technological advancements that have taken place in the past 10 years. A phone really isn't a neccesity to some people but a car on the other hand is, depending on where you live and the status of your life is a need to the average person. So if a new inventions in a phone has affected billions of lives of people around the world, then why can't a advancement in a car making the lives of people less of a hassle succeed? We can only wait and see what type of new improvement in the quality of life is soon to come any day now. | 2 |
I think free car cities would have ups and downs. its downs would be not having quick transportation and waiting for public transportation. its ups would be saving money on gas andglobal warming would start to decrease. if this does happen i would like it very much.
In todays world car companys are starting to build eletric cars to eventually to stop making cars that run on gas to be eco friendly. also not having cars would not be to intellgent because how would over 5,000 to 7,000 people get to work everyday by bus or taxi or train it would be a nightmare. After all that they all have to take the same bus home. It would be absoulte caios in the city nobody would no what to do with out cars.
The good part of not have cars is that people would get tko save money becuase there not speanding it on gas. Also the the traffic would go down beause theres no cars on the road. Personally i dont think car free citites would work like people think it would everybody woul have to ride in public transportation and that would be like a war because everybody would be fighting for seats. it might work for the first two weeks but after that it would be awful.
The bad part about have no ars is finding ways to get from point A to point B because everybody would be using transportation and the other half of people would be walking. so the buses would be crowded and the sidewalks would be very busy. I think cars should be in all cities, but there cars should be eletric not running on gas. after that the car companys should make eletric buses so everything would be eco friendly.
Finally after my opinion on car free cities i came to conclusion that i didnt agree with this topic beacuse with out cars people would be crowding the streets and it would be hard to get round by walking becuase the streets would be packed. Since my opinon is strong my argument would win and pople would agree that car free cities would not work like people think it would. | 1 |
The process that undergoes during the election of the President of the United States, is unfair. "It's official: The electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrational."(Source 2) We should change the process that undergoes today which is known as the electoral college to something that would actually reflect the people's thought on who should lead our country, and I think that we should decide our elections based on popular vote. If we stick with electoral college, voters won't recieve for what they've asked for, some may find it confusing, the people have no power over their electors, and they have no loyalty to us. That is why we need justice and see that our voting system should be change to popular vote.
Voters and electors are both the same thing, they're both human beings, and that means we have our own ideas and they have theirs. Once the electors go to vote to whom we would like for president, the voters no longer have power over them. "Electors have occasionally refused to vote for their party's canidates."(Source 2) So why should we trust someone who won't even keep their word that they would vote for our likings, the people's likings. We should trust ourselves with our own decisions and outcomes. Not some bafoon that won't even stay loyal to their state. Sure if we allow every single person's vote to be counted, it would take probably months to find out the outcome. But the result would actually be true for once. The peoples words and actions actually matter in the government. Changing the procedure that elects our president should be changed to popular vote so that our words and actions can be heard everywhere around the country and change what needs to be changed.
Like I said, our electors won't do what we ask them to do, sometimes. They may, sometimes, defy us. "Electors could always defy the will of the people."(Source 2) They have their own minds that can think and act, and when they have the power of the people of a state, they can use that power for their wants and needs. But we the people of the United States do not need some person to look after us. We defied Great Britain, the greatest country in the world back then and your saying that when we are liberated, the people still need someone to look after our wants and desires, like they're babysitting us? Well I think that's mahogany. When we give the electors our votes, they have the power, and we don't. "Voters can't control whom their electors can vote for."(Source 2) So why bother voting when our votes don't even count? The electors should become the people of this country since our judgement don't even matter to affect the country that we live and protect. When the states were created, some were made to bigger and sustainanble than others, those larger states may have a greater impact on our government than the smaller states. But size doesn't matter, numbers matter. If three small states have the same idea, they may over come a large state. That result would show the real outcome of our people's desire for our country. That's why we should change electoral college vote to popular votes.
With such a complicated system to bring our favored canidate for president in, some people don't understand how the process works and may end up voting for the wrong canidate. Voters somtimes get confused about the electors and vote for the wrong canidate." (Source 2) With popular vote in play, people could just vote to whom ever they desire and done, you're finished voting. That would be a simpler way to process things that everyone could understand. Why do we need complicated systems anyways? Sure with such a simple system many things things could happen, but we just need to change the procedure for voting, not it's security. I think if the country would be a lot simpler if we changed electoral college voting to popular voting. Justice would finally be served to the United States of America.
In conclusion, I think that we should change elcetoral college voting to popular voting so that it would make electing a new presindent simpler, have a true result that reflects the states wishes, and voters can actually have control over their votes. | 4 |
Emotional expresions of students in a classroom are valuable because they show what they feel, as well as actons do. It would be awesome if this creations would be created because when a student is bored, their face will change they way of a lesson if needed.
Studens emotions are valuable because they express how we feel, like if friend dies, our face will show that we are sad. If we do great on something, like winning a contest, our face will show that we are happy. Our teenage years are the most important because we have alot of different emotions, that change our lives.
Another reason that students emotions are valuable is becease we are growing up. Growing up is hard for parents, but it is hard for the kids too, they have to deal with the parents strict rules. Emotions are what makes you, me , and everyone else. Our emotions tell us who we are, what we like, how we feel.
Emotions make character in every circumstance.
The text states " For instance, you can tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look on their face." We have 44 muscles that make us unique, but they all show the same emotion. We can try to hide our emtion, but there will always be one person who can tell what emotions you are really feeling, that person is you, your parents. When you make a certan face, only you know that feeling at the moment.
If you have real freinds they bring you up when your down, only because they see your emotions.
In conclusion student emotions are valuable because, emotions make character, they also change lives, they make you, you. and they leave an impact. they show what you feel. They also show if you disagree with something. Those 44 muscles in your face makes you unique, nothing can change that, thats the best part, God made no mistakes, he made you in his image. People try to hide their depression, when they do it gets worse, only because they didn't tell anybody. Your emotions as a student can either make or break you in life when you get older, its all in your face. | 1 |
Have you guys ever seen the unmasking face on Mars? If not you probably should! It's located on Mars at 41 degrees north martian latitiude. If you're sitting around bored at home just imagine all the amazing sites to see when you are visiting The Face of Mars.
One reason people might go here is because of all the fun, excitement,and interesting tings on or around the face of Mars. Like just imagine all the craters and the amazement for people all ages. Why sit at home when you can be emjoying yourself with various adventures.
Another reason may be just getting out of the house and exploring. You don't just have to stay in one area on mars you can go anywhere. Let me start by saying it would be an excellent experience for both kids and adults.
Others say that hey found it boring and uninteresting. Look on the bright side not all people are like that some people might like the outerspace world. It just depends in what you like and dont like. Well I hope you enjoy your time while visiting The Face of Mars. | 0 |
There is a new age coming,and with that means change. Most people dont like change but ths change is a good one. Its useing your car less and use other means of transportsion around your city or town. This leads to less smog around a major city and a safer inviorment for children.
To begin , changing how we travel around the citys and towns of are country's is esental in this time of age. The world is changing how we think and do thing is changing. We are loseing some of are ignorence. The world we live on is running out of oil and that means no more gas powerd cars. To conserve the resorces we have we need to start takeing the bus to work or school. Or Rideing a skateboard to the shop down the street instead of wasting presious resourses that is going to dissaper in 20 to 30 years. And not useing your car is a go thing ,that means less stress on you mind a body. imagin not having to worry about a car payment and having that extra money tohave fun with you'r kids. Useing your car less also means less smog and cleanier air around. For exsample, in Pairs there was alot of smog so they put a ban on cars for two days and it cleared up the city. Now if started doing this more we would help are invierment so much.
Secound off, Not useing your car as much also creates a much safer enviorment for kids. And they can live a more helthy life. And thats what we want, we want to protect are kids a give them a child hood they can look back on. This means you can let your kid outside and not worring about a drunk driver comeing down the street and hitting your kid and killing them. We want the best futer for are grandchilderns children, and know we set them up for good. We need to start designing are towns and city's like Vauban ,Germany. It will make a better and cleaner world for us.
In conclution, we need to put down the car keys and pick up the bike , or hop on the bus. Because Time is running out. And we dont want it to be to late to change. This is the only thig we got . So lets do it right the firts time and not screw it up. | 3 |
Many people don't like the way the president is picked. They are picked by the
Electoral College . I on the other hand, am fine with it. What people fail to see is that because of the electoral college , is that everything is going great, it's a fair judgement, and everything is balanced. That's just how it is. There's no ifs, ands, or buts about it.
In this moment of time people just don't seem to realize that things are fine the way they are. I mean everyone's doing their own thing and living life. Some more than others, but that's the way it has always been. There are some changes here and there but they're minor ones. People just overreact , and make it seem like a big deal when it isn't. That's just the reality of it. It's not going to change.
What a lot of people fail to realize is that it's a fair judgement. No crap about who they like better. They base it off what they think the person will do for the country. What good changes they would make in the future. The great things they could accomplish to help us as citizens of the United States. Now that's very good judgement.
Another thing they fail to realize is that the way they pick things, everything is balanced. The elections and that stuff, is all balanced. Everything they decide is based on the majority of who you guys picked also. It's not just based on their decision, it's also based on yours. They are actually part of you guys. So they do it to help you all not themselves.
That's my arguement on this topic. People just fail to see that because of the electoral college, everything is going great, the judgement is fair, and everything is balanced. That's what people need to realize. They need to see that what I'm saying is very true. They're just stubborn, so they just believe what they want I guess. | 1 |
People might want to believe that the Face is created by aliens but it is not, it is a natural landform. The Face is just a natural landform because it is just the shadows that make it look like a face, the landform is also common around the American West, and it is a mesa.
The shadows are the ones that make the Face on Mars look like a face. In the third paragraph in the article it stated "huge rock formation... which resembles a human head... formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth." The reason there is alot of commotion about this is that "The authors reasoned it would be a good way to engage the public and attract attention to Mars." He was right because it did.
The Face is also just a landform because there are landforms located in the American West that are also mesa's like the Face. In the last paragraph it said "What the picture actually shows is the Martian equivalent of a butte or mesa- landforms common around the American West." Therefore, people are just altering the true facts to make a story of it. The reason many did not believe it was a Matian mesa is because "Scientist figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia, only this one had unusual shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh."
The Face is just a mesa because it said in the text various times that it was just a mesa. In the very beginning it said "New high- resolution images and 3D altimetry from NASA's Mars Global Survey spacecraft reveal the Face on Mars for what it really is: A mesa." It also said in the last paragraph " That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face of Mars." That shows that the Face is just a natural landform like any other.
Others say that aliens live there and created the Face. In the eight paragraph it said "The Face on Mars is located at 41 degrees north martian latitude where it was winter in April '98- a cloudy time of the year on the Red Planet. The camera on board MGS had to peer through wispy clouds to see the Face. Perhaps, said skeptics, alien markings were hidden by haze." Although that might be true in the eleventh paragraph it said "So, if there were objects in this picture like airplanes on the ground or Egyptian-style pyramids or even small shacks, you could see what they were!"
Finally, there might be different speculations on wether or not the Face is a natural lanform or not. At this point according to scientist we know that it is a natural formation because it looks like a face because of the shadows, its common like in the American West, and it is a mesa. | 3 |
We should keep with changing to election by popular vote for the president of the United States. Because it is logical and is very fair, these are my reasons why.
For one, it seems a lot more leveled out. The Electoral College is not as fair, because the electors help the president, the the president helps the electors. They could have past experience or an old relationship of some sort. Braford Plumer quotes, "The electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrational." He clearly says Electoral College needs to be abolished, over & done with. Because they don't have logical information on everything they do. And they only have practical reasoning, not liberal or conservative reasoning.
Next reason, their method is not bulletproof as they claim it to be. No method is perfect, but the Electoral College method of selecting the president may turn off potential voters for a candidate who has no hope in succeeding. Richard A. Posner quotes, "Knowing their vote will have no effect, they have less incentive to pay attention to the campaign than they would have if the president were picked by popular vote..." He is saying the way the method is set up, makes it seem worthless to even vote for the person you choose or chose.
Finally, my last reason to why we should keep with changing to election by popular vote is confusion. The Electoral College is unfair to voters. Some candidates don't spend time in states the know they have no chance of winning because of the winner-take-all system. Richard A. Posner quotes, "During 2000 campaign, seventeen states didn't see the candidates at all, including Rhode Island and South Carolina, and voters in 25 of the largest media markets didn't get to see a single campaign ad." That is pretty selffish and ridiculously unfair.
However, having the election by popular vote has it's flaws as well. Such as the certainty of outcome. Electoral College having a dispute over the outcome of an election is possible, but it's less likely than the popular vote. Richard A. Posner quotes, "Because almost all states award elecroral votes on a winner-take-all basis, even a very slight plurality in a state creates a landslide electoral-vote victory in that state."
He is simply stating that if there is a difficulty in the popular vote election, they have an electoral vote to choose the winner.
Those are my very important, detailed reasons why we should change to election by popular vote. Recap, fairness is important & is needed in any method, the Electoral College method is not as solid as they believe it to be, & all of the confusion the Electoral College puts off to some states. | 3 |
Dear Mr. Senator,
After reviewing information about the Electoral College, I believe that the Electoral College should not be used in deciding or electing the president of the United States.
"Under the Electoral College system, voters vote not for President, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the President." The sitation before states that it is not the President the voters are voting for, it is actually the electors that the people are voting for, who in turn will vote for the President. This situation does not allow for the people to directly vote for who they believe will be the best President. It is really in the hands of the electors who will become President.
Secondly, after realizing that the number of electoral votes decides if you beome President or not, the Presidential candidates are going to want to focus on obtaining the most votes as possible. After determining which states they "have in the bag", the candidates are going to put their campaigning efforts toward the "toss-up" or "swing states". Here they will have to compete in a tight race between the other party to sway the voters of the state to vote their way. This method of campaigning in the swing states doesn't allow for much campaining in the big, numerous votes states. An example of this would be that during the 2000 campaign, almost 20 states did not see the candidates at all as well as campaign ads. With the Electoral College system in place, Presidential candidates are focusing more on obatianing the "swing state" votes and not so much on supporting and visiting the states and people they know they have.
Finally, the system of electing electors who then vote for the President can be considered unpredictable. This being because the electors could at any time defy the will of the people. These shady electors, also known as "faithless electors", can deny to vote for their party's candidate and instead cast the vote for whomever they desire. This shows that it is not the people's choice, instead the choice of the elector. Also, the state legislatures are responsible for choosing the electors. This could cause an issue where the state legislatures are choosing electors who will vote for their party. Let's take it back to the 1960's where an example of this corruption almost took place. Segrigationists, or people who favored racial seperation, who were state legislatures in the state of Louisiana nearly suceeded in replacing the Democratic electors with new electors who would not vote for John F. Kennedy. This would've caused the popular vote to go to Kennedy's opponent. For the many reasons listed above, the Electoral College could be considered unpredictable and in some cases... shady.
Overall Mr. Senator, I believe that the Electoral College should not be used to determine who becomes the President of the United States instead they should use popular vote. This being because the people are not directly voting, the candidates are just focusing on getting the votes and not on the people. And lastly because it can be considered unpredictable with the "faithless electors" and bais state legislatures. In the words of Bob Dole, "Abolish the electoral college!" | 4 |
I think driverless cars are a good idea. There may be some deffects, but there are many more good things about it.
Having driverless cars would decrease car accidents. The article says "The information from the sensors can cause the car to apply brakes on individual wheels and reduce power from the engine, allowing far better response and control than a human driver could manage alone." Throughout the years technology will keep advancing, and driverless cars will only get better, and be safer. Passengers could text and have a much lower risk of crashing.
These driverless cars could help solve many problems. For example if someone is disabled, but still drives every once in a while this will help in many ways. It'll help by driving itself, while the disabled person can at least watch. If someone is late to work and they have to eat in the car, this would make it so much safer than eating and having one hand on the stearing wheel.
I think this would make older people's lives much more easy. One thing it can help with is taking them to the rite destination. It can also help them be more percatious of their surroundings.
Not only will this make things easier for many people, but it can also help people learn. In case of any accidents there will be cameras in the car and out that can show what exactly had happened. This driverless car can also help us appreciate the nature outside our car windows. Car accidents could be greatly reduced. | 2 |
The process of the election of the president of the United States is somewhat ambigous. The Electoral College basically controls the shifts between the competion, in a way that some rare cases in which a candidate loss the presidential election because of the amount of votes the Electoral college. The Electoral College should be abolished, not only is it unfair but irrational.
The Electoral College basically chooses for the people in some of the pass elections. The process of the voting in The Electoral College consists of five hundred and thirty eight electors, but only the majority of two hundred seventy electoral votes are required to elect the President. The Electoral College has a method to over rule by declaring the candidate who recieves the most popular votes a winner. When the people in general vote for a candidate they sometimes vote for a slate of numerous democratic or republican electors. We as the people not all the time but it happens, get puzzled when voting. When it comes to applying what you know about your future President some of the voting body doesnt know what candidate to decide on, since some times the candidates have similar campaign goals.
Some states called Swing States contain the people that pay really close attention to the candidates campaigns. The voters that pertain to these states want to really listen to what their prefered candidate has to offer, as well as the the opponents campaign. Now people really need to have an actual choice over who their countrys leader is, for some people they are fine with the Electoral College taking their vote and only think of it as a vote.
In conclusion, I think that we the people need our votes to count as well and even more then the Electoral College just for the reason that we are voting for the person who will lead our country for four terms. In the end the Electoral College needs to be abolished for our vote to count. | 2 |
Driverless cars would not be a great idea. There are many issues and concerns against the development of these cars. There are reasons why people have a driver's license. It makes having one pretty obsolete. All the work people have done for them and the practicing of driving will no longer be needed. The driverless car seems to be a lazy way of transportation and can cause problems on the road. The driverless car can cause and have problems such as navigating through roadwork or accidents and laws about faults.
The driverless car can have problems fucntioning and navigating through roadwork or accidents. So far they are not yet perfected in going completely driverless. Someone still has to be behind the wheel in case of something the car cannot do. The closest thing they have to driverless is not as one would expect. The cars can only do so much. As stated in the article, they still have to alert the driver to takeover whenever the car cannot do it itself. This is not very efficient considering its called a driverless car. The cars would need to be completely self aware in order to surpass these obstacles like road construction or accidents that have occured on the road.
The way laws would work are not yet established and if someone were to be in an accident, who would be at fault? This is another issue concerning these cars. Laws pertaining to this subject would need to be made. If someone were to crash the blame would be on the driver, of a normal car. When you birng a driverless car to the conversation the question then becomes, was it the driver or manufacturer of the car. As stated in the article traffic laws would change and new ones would be added. This branches off to more problems with the manufacturer and driver. The driver could make the argument that the manufacturer's vehicle is defective, and that is why they crashed. The manufacturer could say that the driver let his guard down and was too careless. Either way laws would be of concern.
The driverless car can be seen as a good thing, but the problems and defects it still has are a big concern. The car can have problems navigating through roadwork. It can also struggle driving around an accident that may have occurred nearby. There would need to be new laws and changes to the already made laws. The driverless car would be a pretty unefficient thing and could be dangerous. | 3 |
Have you every herd about the story " A Cowboy Who Rode the Waves"? If you haven't you get to become a Seagoing Cowboy. You also don't just watch farm animals you can stop at places like Greece,Itay,& China on your trip. You have to try this out and I will tell you why right now.
When you go and become a Seagoing Cowboy you get to live on a boat with farm animals. Also while on your way to your distanation you get to stop at cool places. You can stop Greece,Italy,& China. Also even a castle. You get to see different cultures. When your fun and amazing trip comes to an end and you have to go home. Where their were animals is a big and open, because they are gone now. So you play sports like baseball, volleyball, table-tennis, fencing, and boxing. Also it wastes time on the way back.
I belevie if you do go you would have one of the best time of your life. Also keep in mind this is to help paces after World War II. And you get to see how this world changed from a war. And how people are doing in their new home that was maybe was distroed. And when you do help you see how the people are happy and so thankful for you help with supplies. So they can now live again with some comfort. | 1 |
The author support this idea very well because the author talks about how close the Earth and Venus actually is. The author talks about how Venus mislead people to thinking it as a star and the author also talks about the temperature. In paragraph 1, 2 and 3 it says, "Venus, sometimes called the "Evening Star," is one of the brightest points of light in the night sky, making it simple for even an amateur stargazer spot. However, this nickname is misleading since Venus is actually a planet. Often referred to as Eath's "twin," Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too. A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet." These are the brief information on Venus that the author gave which is helpful. The author talks about how venus can have a huge impact on techonology. In paragraph 5 and 7 it says, "NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray. NASA is working on other approaches to studying Venus. For example, some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions. Another project is looking back to an old technology called mechanical computers. The thought of computers existing in those days may sound shocking, but these devices make calculations by using gears and levers and do not require electronics at all. Just imagine exposing a cell phone or tablet to acid or heat capable of melting tin. By comparison, systems that use mechanical arts can be made more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces." This would make people want to learn/study more about Venus because it is talking about how it could have an impact on scientists and technology. The author also talks about how dangerous it would be to go to Venus, but although it is dangerous, the author gave an argument by explaining the bright side of studying Venus. In paragraph 8 it says, "Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors. Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." This paragraph talks about the bright side of studying more about Venus and how Earth and beyond shoud not be stop by dangers and doubts but should be expanded instead. This shows how well the author supports this idea. | 2 |
Everyday the world and the technology around us is changing, evolving. It is something that has been happening since the biginning of time. It began with growing our own crops, then changed further with the development of communities and cities, and technology kept advancing with time. As technology has evolved, people have had to do less and less for themselves. Not everyone has to grow their own food or make their own clothes anymore. The world is at a time now where cars are not just a luxcery. To most people, they are a neccesity. The next advancement in that process, is the making of driverless cars. This would make our lives easier and our roads safer.
Driverless cars would not only be better for convienence, but also for costs and flexibility. In the text it states, "The cars he forsees would use half the fuel of today's taxis..." That would cut out fuel costs for most people, which takes up a lot of some families' income. Second, "...offer far more flexibility than a bus." This way, these cars may be able to pick someone up who lives in the country. They would not have to take a specific route everywhere. These cars would make our lives cheaper and easier.
The car would be able to funtion just as if a human driver was in the front seat driving the car. It would be able to analyze its surroundings. The text states, "Google's modified Toyota Prius uses position-estimating sensors on the left rear wheel, a rotating sensor on the roof, a video camera mounted near the rearview mirror, four automotive radar sensors, a GPS reciever, and an intertial motion sensor." This example from the text illustrates that cars would be able to know where they are going, know when other cars around, and see their surroundings just as a human driver would. Another example from the text, "They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves..." The cars would be able to do these funtions and so much more from the minute the are done being built. Some of these skills take new drivers years to master.
Driverless cars could possibly reduce accidents and save lives. For example, "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." Human drivers may freeze under the pressure when a frightening situation happens, but these cars would be able to stop on their own to help prevent an acident. Another example, "Some manufacturers hope to do that by bringing in-car entertainment and information systems that use heads-up displays." This way if the car does need assistance from a human driver, the driver can be entertained until they need to be notified that they need to take over. This would be better since the entertainment automatically turns off, unlike when a person is texting and driving. This new equipment would stop so many people from being injured from car accidents.
Some people think that driverless cars may not be such a good idea. According to the text, "Wouldn't drivers get bored waiting for their turn to drive?" The cars' manufacturers have thought about this and have thought about installing am entertainment system that automatically shuts off when the driver is needed. The text also states, "Presently, traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver in control at all times." While people may be used to human drivers, history has proven that technology can often make things easier and safer. While this technology develops this new car may be not only as safe as car with a human driver, but may eventually be safer. While there are still kinks to work out, driverless cars will someday be the new normal in the transportation world.
Driverless cars are being built and are getting ready to be made a reality to the world. Just like all new technologies, it will have its problems in the beginning, but all problems have solutions and room for improvement. People were worried the first time an airoplane flew on autopilot, but now they are used to it and pilots know it as what is normal. These cars will be another advancement made in human history. Driverless cars are going to make the world an easier and safer place. | 4 |
Dear senator,
I think for electing the president of the united states we should use popular vote because, sometimes certain presidents got more popular votes but the electoral college voting gave them president with the least popular votes with the election and they became president.
In the election between Gore and Bush, Gore had more popular votes than Bush but Bush still became president because of the electoral college voting system it needs to be changed. States with smaller electoral college voters don't have as much say in who's gonna become president,most of the states don't have more than 10 electoral college voters for them but, in the bigger states like califorina,texas,and florida have the most electoral college voters so they bascilly control who's gonna become president.
This is why I think the electoral college voting system should be removed because of its bad way of helping the united states in picking a president and sometimes it can help a bad person become president and ruin this country since it's mostly polticans who are the electoral college voters and they could just pick the person they want to be president and that person could be a horrible president. | 1 |
The face of Mars was not created by Aliens. It just happens to be a natural landform that resembles a human face. Although it has human features like the head, eyes, nose, and mouth, it is actually shadows that give it that illusion. The fact that it resembles a human head is a coincidence. If you use new high resloution images and 3D altimetry, you could see it for what it really is.
In addition, it has starred in a Hollywood film, appeared in books, magazines, radio talk shows, and a haunted grocery store checkout line for 25 years. The fact that it has become a pop icon proves that many people have believed that the Face was concrete evidence that life had or have existed on Mars. Some people even believe that there is evidence NASA would rather hide, like conspiracy theorists, but meanwhile this all happening defenders of the NASA budget wish there was an ancient civilization on Mars which further proves that there is no ancient civilization on Mars.
Furthermore, Micheal Malin and his Mars Orbiter Camera team snapped a picture ten times sharper than the original Viking photos, but when it appeared on a JPL website, it revealed to be only a natural landform. This helps prove that there never was an alien momument in the first place. Although, not everybody was satisfied with this fact. They thought that perhaps that alien markings were hidden by the wispy clouds. In Malin's team's second look, they captured an extraordinary photo, but what the picture actually showed was the Martian equivalent of a mesa.
So in the end, there was no ancient civilization on Mars, no ancient momument, and the Face turned out to be only a mesa. Although many people still argue about life on Mars, there isn't enough research for it to be proven true or otherwise. The fact that the Face was mistaken was because people couldn't see it for what it truly was in the photo. | 3 |
Driverless cars are not safe at all! Manufacturers arent even to sure if humans are able to last a day in that car without it stopping or blowing up on them. I think that manufacturers need to do a lot more study on driverless cars if they think people will by them. Also driverless cars are going to probably cost millions of dollars and if they think in the future no one will buy normal cars they need to think agian. I understand that driverless cars are very helpful but it is not the best choice when it comes to money. For example Tesla has projected a 2016 release for a car capable of driving on autopilot only 90% of the time. Another reason driverless cars are not the best is because what if the technology fails and someone gets injured I wonder who`s fault it would be the driver or the manufacturer. Why would anyone want a driverless car that still needs a driver, it would be very boring having to wait for your turn to drive. If paying millions on a driverless car i might a well take the bus or a taxi for a cheap amount instead of buying a car that can stop a any time because i dont know whats going to happen at any time. | 1 |
Throughout history, soceity has grown because of technology. The techonolgy as of today is seen as both a good and bad thing. From "Driverless Cars Are Coming", the article states that there will be "fleets of driverless cars". To imagine driveless cars on the streets frightens me as a person. I believe that there should not be any driveless cars on the streets and/or highways because of the danger it will cause to not only my community, but the country as well.
United States of America should not be shown any more technolgy where it endangers others. In paragraph 7, the article states "The Google car simply announces when the driver should be prepared to take over". This statement already displays a red flag to people reading this article. If the driver is not prepared to take over the car, there would be an accident. Also, there are many people who do not pay attention to the road or are deep sleepers who do not wake up from vibrations or flashing lights. Many people, currently, get into accidents from even paying attention to the road. Although, these new cars seem fun, it would not ensure safety. Furthermore, there should not be any driveless cars on the streets and/or highways because of the danger it will cause.
To begin with, my community will be in ruins because of the known amount of accidents that are caused by the manufacturers and the drivers. In paragraph 9, the article states "If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault--the driver or the manufacturer?" This statement can go both ways because when the driver buys the car, I assume that they already know the consequences of it. Just buying a regular car, you already know that you are risking your own life while driving it. Although, let us say the car blows up, that becomes the manufacturers fault because it is not normal for a car to blow up. During the Industrial Revolution, many workers would slack on the items they were making because there was such a high demand for items. Many of the items were not as good beause the workers would have a deadline. Linking history to this subject, there will be a high demand for these cars, and there also will be deadlines which will cause them to speed the process. Also, The Martian is another example where the workers wanted to send help, but they rushed and the rocket exploded which delayed the help they wanted to send. Furthermore, in paragraph 7, it states that there will be cameras to watch the drivers, but if something happens and they are a second too late, cameras will not be of any help. As a result, the creation of these cars will cause destruction in our country.
For decades, there have been drunk driving, reckless driving, and even careful driving that has gotten us in accidents. Driveless cars seem like an amazing creation, but there are many cons with this subject. This new creation would bring the fun out of being in a car, but that is not the point of driving. Cars are a means of transportaion; we might as well create driveless bikes while we are at it. The danger that more technology will bring us is frightening to imagine. Therefore, not only is this a scary idea, but also a reckless idea that might be one of the reasons for the downfall of our country. | 4 |
I'm going to type an essay about an arugement for this technology to read students emotional expressions. The newest software update is called Facial Action Coding System. I really feel like this type of technogoly would be really helpful.
There is a lot of prons and cons to this technogoly because some students may not want you to know how they are feeling or what there emtions are, I feel as if some students need the help or may feel, let's say lonely but don't like saying they are so they fake a smile but those are the students who really need someone to know. So I'm going ot start out in my first paragraph saying why I think it would be good to have this type of system.
My first paragraph is going to be my first reason why I feel that it would help and a little bit about the software. The software update has promising applications for a variety of industries. The computer constrcuts a 3-D computer model of the face all 44 major muscels in the model must move like human muscles. I feel that it will help a lot more with young teenagers in our generation.
A lot of people in our generation are going through depression and they don't like to telling people about it, so if you have this software it would help kids from sucide thoughts or some things like that.
Another reason why it woud be helpful is because you could use it on anyone not just students. My first reason why I think it would be a brillant idea would be an example such as this, if you went to class one day and seen your friend upset you would be able to look at her and know shes upset but if you asked her and she said no I'm fine, she would be lying. If you had this software update and you used it on your friend it would say she is 70 percent upset and 30 percent mad. So now you know she is upset most of the time and you could change that by talking about things with her letting her parents know. Little things like that could change someones life forever.
My last reason I think it would be helpful is because you would know how everyones feeling. The Mona Lisa is to demonstration is really intended to bring a smile to your face, while showoing how much a computer can do. It also says in paragraph 6 that "
A classroom computer could recogonize when a student is becoming bored or confused". That could also help the teacher out a lot. Some students don't always let the teacher know if they are bored or confused because maybe they are scared or embarssed, but now your teacher would know if you were confused about something. She would be able to help you or do something a little more exciting.
My conclusion paragraph is going to wrap up my essay. As I said in the introduction I think this would be a really good idea for this software update to be in classrooms for teacher and students. I think it would help with teenagers. I gave a couple reasons why I would want this software update or why it would help. I have seen a lot of students falling asleep in class and the teacher just keeps going. I have also been one of those students were I'm really confused but I don't want to say in front of the class so I either don't say anything or I say something to my buddy next to me. Those are my reasons why I am for this Facial Action Coding System. | 2 |
Driverless Cars, something often seen as a fantasy is actually coming true. Driverless Cars are just basically cars that does not require a human driver. This new invention should not be released because it can be a hazard, require more research, and it is not that useful.
This idea has been worked on and tested since 2009, this means that we do not fully understand or know the harmful the new cars can be. In the article it states that, "They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents". This can be harmful to the driver because the driver might not be paying attention, since they depend on the car to drive them. Even though machines can be accurate and precise, it can still have some malfunctions and there is not enough research to know what they are. In paragraph nine it also states that, "Presently, traffic laws are wrtten with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver in control at all times." This shows that the government also sees humans only driving cars.
Although many researchs have already been made, there is still is a long road ahead. Smart Cars requires the use of newer tools and parts. In Paragraph four it states that, "Google's modified Toyoto Prius uses position-estimating sensors on the left rear wheel, a rotating sensor on the roof, a video camera mounted near the rearview mirror, four automotive radar sensors, a GPS receiver, and an inertial motion sensor.". Even though Smart cars is a whole new invention; there are still more research to be done on the parts that are needed to make Driveless cars driveless. Research needs to also be done on how to create the a form to sequire these vital parts of the car.
At the end, Smart cars are not needed. Many people already have their license and are able to drive; there is no point of having a driver, having the risk of not paying attention, sit behind the wheel and let the car drive itself rather than a driver who is driving it themselves.
In the first paragraph it says that, " He envisions a future with public transportation system where the fleets of driverless cars form a public-ransport of taxi system.". Millions of people's jobs are based on driving, and if driveless cars are released, then millions of people have a risk of losing their jobs.
Although Driverless Cars opens no doors to technological advancement, it is just something that is not seen as useful. People can drive themselves, and even other people drive people around. That is the way it should be. | 3 |
The Electoral College, its something that can change the amount of votes someone has rapidly depending on how many he or she has recieved. For some it is something that can help you, and for others its a nightmare. Most people would say it is something to be aware about and the rest dont care about it.
To start off, The Electoral College is not a physical builiding or place, its a process that the founding fathers established in the Constitution as a compromise between elections of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens. Most people belive that this process should be eliminated, some of those protesters are or were very important people, for example Bob Dole, he once said "
The Electoral College is unfair, outdated, and irrational.
"
Secondly, If someone is in the Electoral College and vote for who they want for President, really they dont vote for them, according to "The Indefensible Electoral College" by Bradford Plumer, the people on the Electoral College actually "vote not for the President, but for a slate of electors, who in return elect the president." Thats messed up! They barley have any control on who they vote for. What if the electors dont vote for who the voters expect to win? Actually, this incedent has happend before in Hawaii in 1960 with two electors, "faithless" electors have occasionally refused to vote for their party's candidate and cast a deciding vote for whomever they please.
Next, The Elecotral College is widley regarded as an anachronism. According to "In Defense of The Electoral College" by Richard A. Posner, "
the advocates of this position are correct in arguing that the Electoral College method is not democratic in a modern sense...
". It is the electors who elect the president, not the people. When people are voting for a presidential candidate, they're actually voting for a slate of electors. Its is truley unfair for that to happen because the electors can betray the presidential nominee and cast their vote for the opposing nominee.
Finally, It is entirely possible for the winner of the electoral vote will not win the national popular vote. It is very rare for something like that to occur. According to "In Defense of The Electoral College" by Richard A. Posner, "
It happend in 2000, when Gore had more popular votes than Bush, yet fewer electoral votes..."
.A tie in the nationwide electoral votes is possible because the total number of votes, which is 538, is an even number, but it is highly unlikely.
Overall, The Electoral College should be removed, because when the electors cast their vote, they dont really take part in the vote, it really is the slate. Sure, it can add more votes than the nominee actually has, but it is an unfair, outdated, and irrational procces that should no longer be in the Constisution. | 3 |
In my opinion, I believe driverless cars would have a great impact on this and next generation. Everday you that someone has died or critically injured themselves driving cars. Driverless takes all of future injuries away. Self-driving cars are safer because it has more sensors related to what the passage stated in paragraph 5.
You won't necessarily be driving but assisting the car even though the car drives on its own. That doesn't mean you may text on your phone even though your not driving, you will still need to pay attention and alerted just in case. Like, if there is a car accident, work zone, or if you are putting the vehicle into reverse, that would require human driving skills like the passage stated in paragraph 7. Car seats will vibrate if there a object behind the while reversing the car.
All in all, I believe driveless cars is a outstanding idea to infer. Its a problem solved before it occured. By 2020, like the text states" Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Nissan plan to have cars that can drive themselves." Its easier and safer. The future is all about making everyday burdens easier and safer. | 1 |
Driverless Cars can help people life more easier. Even if it can make the environment much better than before. Because now we have many cars drive on the street and they will have some bad thing to make the environment be bad.
A lot of people, they are smart. They think that in one day, we maybe making computer-diven cars. In fact, this is a smart way to make people llife easier. But this make more and more people to make smarter than this way to make people life easier.
Then they find a new way to developed driver's seats and they have lights. It can help them drive on the road at night and make people to be safety.
So, my opnion is I believed that is the smart way to make people life more easier, But it will make people to be lazy to drive.
I am not agree to make this type of cars. Because if people life to be easy, they will be lazy in their life. | 0 |
Land either froms by its self, by people, or by having chunks taken out of it by meteors. The face on Mars could not have been created by a living life form, for the planet is unsafe for life. The rocks created a formation that looks like a face because of all the shadows and dust that were in the picture. Mars was hit by a lot of meteors and that is also why it looks like face. The face on Mars is most likely a volcano, a mountain, or a valley. Meteors have hit Mars so it takes some of the rocks and land away and it could happen to look like a face made aliens, but it cant be because it is a natural land formation of rocks.
Many people would disagree because they believe that Mars could have living lifeforms. Mars cant have living things on it because of the air being as toxic as it is. People think that there is a possability for things to be able to live on Mars, but there is no way for life to sustain on Mars because there is no where to grow food and raise animals to eat. There is no oxygen to breath so animals would just die because of lack of oxygen. | 2 |
Twenty-five years ago, NASA found what looked like a human face on the planet of Mars. Early in the discovery, scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa. A few days later, NASA presented the image to the public. The picture definitely attracted attention to Mars, which is what NASA wanted. Soon after, the public was let down being told it was just a natural landform and that it wasn't an alien landform after all. However, some people would beg to differ.
There is always possibilities about aliens and what they do in space, but this is not one of them. The face is nothing but a natural landform. On April 8, 2001, Mars Global Surveyor drew close enough for a second look at the face. The text states that Malin's team captured an extraordinary photo with the camera's absolute maximum resolution. Each pixel in the image spans 1.56 meters. This proved that all this landform was was something similar to a butte or mesa which is common around the American West. Garvin states, "It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho." Overall, these two landforms are about the same.
Along with the picture of the face, if anything else was on Mars, we would've seen them with the high quality image. The text stated, "As a rule of thumb, you can discern things in a digital image 3 times bigger than the pixel size." If any sign of martians was on Mars, we would've been able to see it. Objects such as airplanes on the ground, Egyptian-style pyramids, or even small shacks would have been able to be identified.
Although, martians could still possibly be out in our universe, this face on Mars will not prove that. Many would like to believe this is a martian mesa but it is nothing but a natural landform. Landforms like this can be found even in places on Earth. The mystery of martians still continues, but the mystery of the face on Mars has finally been a "case closed". | 2 |
"Making Mona Lisa Smile," with the facial action coding system, is a way of a computer being able to read a humans emotions, isnt it kind of weird? technology is progressing more and more everyday, but this isnt something we need, why do we need to read peoples emotions? is it important?
This program allows other people to invade the privacy of others, i would want someone or something reading my emotions just because, even if who ever is trying to "read" your emotions asked for permission its still called personal space, this program to me is kind of useless, maybe there are some ways it could be useful?
In some cases it can be used for people in the hospital, you know when you go get checked up the doctor normally asks you how you feel, and sometimes you dont know how you feel but the doctor needs to know in order to treat you.
But in some other cases, it should not be used in schools or in working areas, dont you think that the students will kind of be scared of that? theres no use for it, maybe some people will make use out of it but some people dont want you "reading" their emotions at all, and you have to respect that. | 1 |
The face found on Mars is not made by alien. On April 1998 Michael Malins took a picture that was ten times. The autor is comparing the Eath to Mars how the the Earth has a of landforms so and Mars has a landform that look like a face.
The face could have been formed like that and back then we dont have the technology we have now so the camara could have been messed up or gliching out." Each pixel in the 2001 image spans 1.56 meters, compared to 43 meter pre pixel in the best 1976 Viking Photo."
The way and distance of the Viking 1 spacecraft could have made a diferance from what the picture looks like then what it is in real life. The camara resulution could have been better the dhould have sent another spacecraft up were the the picture was taken to see if the rock is really a face. The rock is most likely made up of natural landform. | 1 |
There are many different negavtives and positives when it comes to driverless cars. Knowing the goods and bads about these special cars can be good for the future when investing in one some day. Having a car that can drive itself, communicate with you and your actions, interact with how you drive could be a good thing. What if something was to go wrong? Being able to know how these things works and whats good and not so good about them could, never know, save your life.
These new and improved cars have positive things about them. Their cars have driven more than half a million miles without a car. Half a million miles is quite a lot without anything going wrong. it goes to show they can be reliable when wanting to drive a greater distance. There is more about these self-driving cars many dont know. Gm had developed driver's seats that vibrate when the vehicle is in a danger of backing into an object. Therefor, the Google car simply announces when the driver should be prepared to take over.
Today, we don't exacly know how or what these self-driving cars are going to have in them or how they may run in the future. There are many positive things that have come upon us when investigating in this new invention but what could possibly go wrong? During the making of these cars there is a lot of technology and a whole lot of sensors. While driving thses cars, lets say on the highway, and something was to go out or mountfunction. Yes, it could happen to any vehicle in the world. The only problem is if the car itself is driving and something was to happen would the driver be able to take control or would the car freeze everything up an something bad happen? Google, BMW, and anyone else involved in this think of all the good possible things but there could be so many negatives that could really be lifechanging.
My opinion on Diverless cars is good for the most part. Say you have to drive a long ways and you need a break from driving, the car could take over instead of having to stop at night and drive for you. Its crazy to think that in a few years these cars could become our lives. "Telsa has projectd 2016 release for a car capable of driving on autopilot 90 percent of the time. Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Nissan plan to have cars that can drive themselves by 2020." ( Driveless Cars are Coming.)
So, as you think more about it, most positive things could also be negative things when it comes to self-driving cars. In a few years havinng these cars could change our lives or make them harder. From the cars driving a half a million miles to having gadgits to help you focus on driving to not so much the technology problems that could cause bad news for a lot of people. Never know, one day we might have cars driving us around instead of us driving them. | 3 |
This software is not valuable to others. The software seems pointless because why would you want to know a certain percent of how happy someone is? People can tell the emotions of people without using this software whatsoever.
In paragraph five the author says "you can probably tell how a friend is feeling simply by the look on their face" which is totally true but you can also tell how your friends are feeling by talking to them face to face and not "calculating" their emotions on computers.
In paragraph six it is said "while it shows just how much computers can do" but some computers can mess up a persons emotion and take it in a completely different direction by making someone think the person is unhappy but they could've been having the time of their life.
Why would anyone need to know exactly how happy someone is? People can show emotions through many differnt ways and not just through their face but through communication, body language, the tone of voice they have.
In a classroom setting children do not need to use this because a part of growing up kids shouldn't be exposed to too much technology. Children shouldn't learn how to read others feelings/ emotions through a computer. What good would come from that? Learning how to profile others is a good trait of having. Forensic scientists don't even use this software so why should we?
Overall this new software does not seem valuable to students, teens, or adults. It just shows how attached we are to technology. Yes, good things can come from technology but also pointless things can too. People need to live in the moment and not turn to their computer every second they have. We should be more worried about more important events going on in this world before calculating how happy the whole world is. | 2 |
Technology has come so far in the past decade. Once thought to be an idea straight out of science firction has now become a reality. Using the technology to read emotions could be beneficial in the classroom. It could tell when a student is sad and needs help, or angry and needs to be stopped before something bad happens. Either way use possible use for this technology are endless.
The techology would be useful in the classoom, epecailly in high school where all sorts of emotions are runnung wild. " Eckman has classified six basic emotions- happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear,
and sadness- and then associated each with characteristic movements of facial muscles". ( paragraph 3 Nick D'Alto). Eckman's technology uses 3-D modles of the human face and can calculate which expression it has by using the facial muscle groups. Each different emotions uses a different muslce in the face, so the computer would be able to see which emotion is paired with what mucle group. This would be extremly beneficial in school, because schools are now becoming more advanced with each student having their own personal laptop. The software could be pre-insatlled on the computer before being handed out, and moniter the students emotion when using it.
The technology of being able to read emotions could also help a student when learning. Now that schools are becoming more personal, some teachers are even doing their classes online. " if you smile when a Web ad appears on your screen, a similar ad might follow. But if you frown, the next ad will be different" ( paragraph 6). The internet changes to you emotion, and according to Dr. Huang schooling will to. The face reading software could detect when a student is bored or confused, then the lesson could be modified. Changing the lesson when the student is confused or bored could really help the student pass the class. When people are bored or confused, nothing sticks they just forget, so the purpose of reading emotions could be very benefical in school.
As humans, we already have the ability to tell what emotion a person is feeling just by looking at their face. But as humans, we also have the ability to lie about our emotions, and sometimes, we are fooled by false emotions. However, Eckman's program can detect and read through forced emotions. Forced emotions uses differerent muscles than the natural emotons. " To an expert, faces don't lie; these muscle clues are sometimes used to spot when a "smiling" politician or celebrity isn't being truthful". ( paragraph 8) At school, this technolgy could be used to read past a persons fake smile, and determine wheather the student needs help and support. When we smile naturally we use the Zygomatic Major that lift the corners of our mouth, and the Obicularis Oculi ake the crows feet in our eye brows. When we do a force smile, we still use the Zygomatic major but the mouth is stretched sideways and we use another muscle, the Risorius. In a time where all sorts of drama occur, false emotoins are sure to sprout up. So the ability to read emotions would be viable in school.
Technology has always helped us from time to time. We use technology to get around places, manufacturing goods or escaping danger. But the technology to read human emtion truly is something special, and this technology would be valaubale to the classroom. | 3 |
Dear
Senator ,
I would like to keep the Electoral College because i think it works out better than the popular vote. If we had the popular vote then there would be an unfair voting cast and we would be introuble. I think they would abuse the voting if it was by popular vote and plus it only requires 270 electoral votes to elect the president and theres 538 electors. I think we should just keep the Electoral College for a couple years and then switch and see which ones better and keep that one.
In some states they have only a limited number of electors depending on how big or small the state is. Also the winner takes all system should go with both presidents because they both worked hard to get there and shouldnt just be left out they should seperate the electors evenly some people cant become the president or vice president so they shouldnt leave out the vice president. It states in the article that over 60 pecent of voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now.
Also it says under nthe electoral college system, votes dont vote for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president. Theres also rumors of the Electoral College like people calling it the disaster factor because people say it cause to much drama and is risky. I understand if there was a tie in the Electoral vote then it would be all up to the house of representatives where state delegations vote on the president. It should just be up to the citizens to chose who runs for president so that way there isnt such big arguments over who became president. Thank you for your time. | 1 |
In the article The Challenge of Exploring Venus, the author suggests that studying venus is a worthy persuite because it is earths twin, it could have been just like earth in the past, and scientists are already trying to explore it.
The author refers to venus as earths "twin" because is "the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too." (P.2)
The author believes that Venus could have potentally been like earth long ago because "the planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters." Venus is known to be a very da gerous planet because of it is over 800 degrees farenheit on average (P.3) . "These conditions are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on Earth; such an environment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and would liquefy many metals" (P.3) The author questions why scientist are not exploring the planit in persuite of inhabitation when he says "If our sister planet is so inhospitable, why are scientists even discussing further visits to its surface?"
Venus is a mysterous planet with charactureistics much similar to pur home plannet called earth. Because we know that our planet is our "earths twin", it could have been just like our planet in the past, and that scientists are already exploring it; Maybe one day we could have another planet to call our home. | 1 |
Exploring venus can be challenging, On the article it says that venus is one of the brightes points of light in the sky. It also says in the article that venus is the closest planet to earth, in density and size. As we know, many astronomers have been wanting to go to venus for a long time due to the fascinated thing it has for example it has beautiful oceans that has majority of life just like earth has now. Venus also has valleys, mountains and also craters. But the thing that makes it dificult for astronomers to go out in space to venus is, the ninty-seven percent carbon dioxide and it is eight-hundred degrees fahrenheit and the atmospheric pressure is ninty times greater than the expierence here on earth. Overall it is challenging for an astronomer to last long in space for that reason. astronomers are creating a machine that will last longer on mars and will be able to get more footage and bring it back safe without getting destroyed. They've tried to send a machine to venus before and it successeded but it only last three weeks. hopefully in a few years they will be able to invent a maching that will be able to last a long time and then a spaceship for a human to go and explore venus. A lot of people were saying that it is risky to send someone to venus because there is more chances that the person dies than making it back alive and safe. NASA requires money to create a spaceship to go to venus, that money has to be raised before making any plans to go to venus. | 1 |
Does we are really voting for the elector or someobody else?, sometimes elections can be unfair but one of the best methos and the one more easily to understand and fair is by electing the president by popular vote.
To beging with,every state should be treatly the same, have the respect campaings and no one state should have advantage or disadvante at the time of voting because sometimes representatives can give a advantage or a disadvantage and sometimes can give a catasrophic decision, but also more power for bigger sates that represents 35 million voters like california."given that many voters vote one party for president and another for congress, the House's selection can hardly be expected to reflect the will of the people".
other example of this can be seen in te elections of 2000,"seventeen states didn't see the candidates at all, including rhole island and south california,and voters in 25 of the largest media markets didn't get to see a single campaign ad. And this just show how when we have electoral collegue can be a disadvantage for candidates, if they know they are not going to win they don't focus on those states,and some people who want to have more options or listen to other persons they cant because they dont see a campaign to convice them.
In summary,its better to the winner to take all cause almost half of the population agrred with the candidate thinking and maturity to select whats best to others,but also whe you are voting fot the state elector you cant control their final vote and sometimes you don't choose who you is your state elector and you don't now if he has the best wisenes to decide,if two presidents in popupal vote get close that mean that a lot of people agreed with the same person,but that doesnt happen when we have electoral because its just a minimum number and we dont now if everybody in the state really agreed with the representator.
To summarize,if we want a fair election and be part of it, listen to others options, have part of the the decision of our president , and be trheated the same and the our vote really counts we should elect by popular vote. | 2 |
"Venus, The Earth's twin.''
by STUDENT_NAME
On this proyect am going to talk about ''the earths twin'' Venus, i am going to tell some important things about why venus is a worthy pursuit of despite the dangers.
venus is one of the bringhtes points of light in the night ski, venus is the second planet next to the sun. Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and ocasionaly the closest in distance too.
Venus has some different things caompared to Earth, the atmosphere is almost of 97 porcent carbon dioxideblankets, the clouds has a highly corrosive sufuric acid. On the planet's surface temperatures average over 800 degrees fahrenheit, and the atmospheric presure is 90 times greather than the Earth.
Venus is the most Earth-like planet on our solar system, venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like earth. the planet has a surface of rocky sediments and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and caters.
The NASA has one particular compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus, NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of venus would allow scientistics to float above the fray. At thirty-plus miles above surface, temperatures would still be teastyat around 700 degrees fahrenheit, but the air presure will be at sea level.
On conclusion venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers because if a human would not can touch because of the danges that are the clouds amd the really hot weater that this planet has. | 1 |
Driverless cars are going to be the future and there are going to be a lot of pros, but there are going to be a few cons too. Soon there will be less driving cars or no driving cars left.
The world for the longest time has loved the idea of the driverless cars in everyday movies. So that they get to drive less then they already do. The cars that google has had could drive half a million miles without a single crash, but they aren't all driverless. The driver still has to take over when conditions get bad or they get to roadworks.
A couple of the companies that are making computer driven cars are Berkeley and General Motors. General Motors had made a car that could run on a special test track. Also the engineers at Berkeley tried to do something similar like General Motors done. Although they used magnets with alternating polarity. The car that they made had read the positive and the negative polarity in binary code. Which is a coding system that uses the binary digits 0 to 1 to represent a letter, digit, or other characteristics in a computer and other electronic devices. Google's modified Toyota Prius has sensors on the left rear wheel, a sensor on the roof, and a camera mounted near the rearview mirror.
The future of America are the driverless cars that by 2020 will be switched out with the cars that we have now. They will be the new "toys" if I may add. Personally I don't think that it is going to work out well with the Google driverless cars. | 1 |
What would you do if you were driving down the road and saw a car driving with no one in the driver's seat? You probably freak out is my guess, but it's true. Car companies are making driverless cars. It's cool and a bit scary. Look at it this way: the cars aren't fully capable of driving themselves, the drivers need to be aware of what's happening, and the vehicles could malfunction and cause something bad to happen. Driverless cars shouldn't be allowed on the roads.
Driverless cars aren't so driverless. The cars still need help when in some situations. The article "Driverless Cars Are Coming" introduces the topic to us by telling us about Google's cars. It says, "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."
Since the cars still need aid on the roads, the driver has to be aware. Most people are already distracted while driving, whether it be other passengers, their cell phones, or even food. Imagine if they got a car that could do what they're to distracted to do. They wouldn't pay attention to the roads anymore than they alrerady do. In the article, it tells us that the car really does need the help. "This necessitates the car being ready to quickly get the driver's attention whenever a problem occurs." Enough car accidents already happen because of people not paying attention. Why cause more?
Also, along with the car needing human aid, the vehicles could malfunction on their own. Thousands of cars get called back because of a problem within the engine that was not caught while making the car or other problems that could be a risk to the people within the car or on the road also. This type of problem causes car accidents all of the time. Why would we multiply the problems for driverless cars? In "Driverless Cars Are Coming", the author makes a point to the audience. "Still even if traffic laws change, new laws will be needed in order to cover liability in the case of an accident. If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault---the driver or the manufacturer?"
To wrap things up, we shouldn't be allowed to have driverless cars on the road. The cars can't function by themselves. In that result, drivers need to pay attention to what is going on around them. Lastly, the vehicles could malfunction. Should driverless cars be allowed on the roads at all? | 3 |
Is it valuable to use a computer scanner to recognize human emotions. The Facial Action Coding System is a computer software creater of Prof. Thomas Huang of the Beckman Institute for Advanced science at the Unviersity of Illinois. That can calculate emotions based of all fortity four major muscles from the human face and classified them as six emotions Happiness, surprise , disgust, fear , and saddness.
For many students it'll be a great experience to open up to the science world to learn further more about the human emotions based of your facial muscle. "The facial experssions for each emotion are universal" from Dr. Huang.
It's been founded that the great picture of Mona Lisa painting of Lenardo da Vinci. That Mona Lisa in the art was eighty three percent happy, nine percent digusted , six fearful and 2 percent angry. It's interesting for people to know such little detail from a great iconic peice from old history, where the Mona Lisa was really intended to bring smile to us.
This reaches out for students for are open up in the science world learning about the functions of Prof. Thomas Huang computer software. The computer targets risorius and zygomatic if a smile isn't being truthful of ones smile.
genuinely working on your smiles that help you smile more in a better happy mood.
In concluison the Computer facial emotion scanner is a big vaulable learning for students to learn about the invention of Prof. Huang. Many will know more futher behind the laws of the muscles of facial emotions based of the FACS (Facial Action Coding Sytem) and learn to scan are emotions. | 1 |
Abolishing the Electoral College
Every four years a new president is elected to run the United states of America. Which is caried out by a process called Electoral College Process. It is a meeting of various electors,in where they vote for President and Vice President. I firmly believe that this process should be abolished, and the President and Vice President should be chosen by popular votes.
For starters, the leader of the free world should be choosen directly by the American citizens. It must bruise like a birthday punch to know those who waited in lenghty lines for hours upon end, didn't obtain the President they bargined for because of electoral votes rather than popular. It is stated that "over 60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now"
Source 2 Paragraph 9.
More than half of America's citizens would prefer direct election. So why aren't the officials giving America what they want? Possiblity to hold us captive in the "free world".
Another reason why the Electoral College process should be abolished, is the fact that we the people have to trust a complete stranger. Trusting a complete stranger with hands of your future is a difficult task to do. Seeing that most people in possession of power got there using propaganda. Posner believes that "each party selcts a sdlate of electors trusted to vote for the party's nominee (and that trust is rarely betrayed)..."
Source 3 Paragraph 16 . How is he completly sure about this? Hitler decieved his people and promised them "better days", and we all know how that went. The Elctoral College process is just not trustworthy.
All in all the Electoral College should be abolished and replaced with direct elections. This gives citizens more control over who they elect (which is supposed to happen in a Democracy). The people now freedom of choice, and the majority would be happy with the new leader of the free world. | 2 |
Have you ever thoguht what the world would be like without cars? Well, it could be one of the greatest things to ever happen. There are so many advantages to limiting car use. It can have such a big benefit on the world. Like stopping pollution.
Smog is one of the biggest effects to car usage. Smog is actually getting so bad in certain places like Paris that they actually have to ban car use. A lot of places have been recorded to have a lot of pollution like France, only because they perfer diesel fuel. Paris has even let the public transit to be free of charge from Monday to Friday. So if everyone worked on not driving we could slow down pollution a lot, and make a big change.
Bogota, Colombia is a place that is trying to make a change. They have created an event called "car-free day". A day where no cars are allowed to be used what so ever. The goal is doing this they say is to "promote alternative transportation and reduce smog. Bogota had a large turnout to this event, even despite the rain showers Bogota got that day, that didnt stop them from participating in this event. This event has really changes Bogota for the better, because the event is persuading less people to drive every year. Which helps out a lot and makes a huge impact in slowing down pollution.
Some people believe that the culture of the car is coming to its end. And that is not a bad thing at all, in fact it could be one of the greatest thing to happen in history. Researchers say that less and less people are getting licenses every year, and more people are starting to use public transportation. If everyone could just work to drive less and use public transportation, we could make the car a thing of the past.
Cars are a huge problem on pollution to this day. Our goal is to stop this and make a difference. I hope this essay shows you how much of a difference you could make if you just limited your car usage. | 2 |
The Face isn't an alien artifact. It wasn't created by aliens, it's just a natural landform on Mars. If it was created by aliens NASA would've already found out. There is no real evidence that aliens did it, only in Hollywood movies, and books. Though some people think otherwise.
Aliens arn't the reason the Face is on Mars. Nasa has went on three missions to Mars to take pictures. Each time they went there has been no trace of aliens. Also NASA upgraded their camaras each time they went to Mars. So the pictures were more clearer.
On the second mission NASA went on, the camaras proved it was a natural landform. Though other scientist belived alien markings were being hidden by wispy clouds. This is because it was winter in Mars during the time NASA went. Still NASA went on a third trip to make its point. This time they used their most advanced camera yet and took crystal clear pictures of the Face.
The pictures reaveled it was a Martian equivalent of a butte. This is a common landform around the American West. This couldn't be caused by aliens because Mars could've caused this landform to appear. Just like in the American West. Still people think that the alien markings are still there.
Overall aliens could'nt of caused this landform. There is no evidence of aliens being on Mars. There is only fiction stories about it, and on radio talk shows. NASA has went on three missions to prove it's a natural landform, and they were'nt able to find alien markings. If this isn't enough evidenve to convince someone they must be a big alien fan. | 2 |
Due to the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" by Nick D'Alto, scientist are speculating the idea of giving computers a new technology called 'The Facial Acion Coding System' which enables computers to identify human emotions. This new system could be very valuable for students.
Thomas Huang,of the Beckman Institute for advanced science at the University of Illinos, is working in collaberation with Professor Nicu Sebe of the University of Ansterdam to develop better ways for humans and computers to communicate. After the process of constructing a 3-D computer model of the face is done by the two , Dr.Huang then relies on the work of psychologist Dr. Paul Eckman, creatorr of FACS (facial Action Coding
System).
"Eckman has classified six basic emotions- happiness, suprise, anger, disqust, fear, and sadness- and hen associated each with characteristic movements of he facial muscles" (D'Alto , paragraph 3)
With this , computers are able to recognize these emotions and give each emotion a percentage to show how you are truly feeling. This could not only be great for communication with your computer but help any person express how they feel. This can help professors as well get a better understanding of how a student may be feeling at given time, which could excuse them or help in any way they could for the students benefit. Lots of people struggle to describe every facial trait that coveys every emotion and with this technology that shows you just that from just identifying facial mucsles, more people around you and even YOURSELF can begin to have a clearer understanding of how you are truly feeling in that point in time.
This is important for any person who may be going through a rough time and needs clarity to how they are feeing. In the future this could benefit so many people. Being able to have communication with your computer can also make the individual using the system feel more safe and understanding.
Although people dont enjoy those annoying ads that their computer may send out to them, imagine being able to have your computer recognize when you smile at an ad or "pop up" so you see a similar ad follow that one or if you dont like an ad so you frown, you then begin to see ads that have no relation to that last one. This could be extremely valuable to the PC you are on or any computer or device you choose to use this system on.
"Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication," notes Dr. Huang "So computers need to understand that, too." (D'Alto paragraph 6)
With this, in this being very beneficial for any student, this could very much improve any computer as well. This technology could make computer- animated faces more expressive- for video games or video surgery. Anything can be improved by this expression and emotion detector.
If this sytem benefited in more than just the individual using it but also the computer or device being used for it, more things would begin to improve helping all citizens that even may not be using the system to their benefit.
In conclusion this system would be a great addition to add along to today's newest technology programs. Lots of people could be benefited from this and it could help improve lots of technology worldwide. More people could begin to learn more about themselves and start communicating with their computer by having their computer give them their emotions each day they logged. With this system it has the ablity to make users of any device of technology enjoy their experience more so than they would before, with everyone's help this new Facial Action Coding System could make a huge change in today's society. | 3 |
People in today's society practically depend on their cars to get them to and from work, to buy groceries for their families, and just for the purpose of getting out of the house. Although, with billions of people driving cars every single day, it has quite a negative effect on the environment. It is in our nature to think that without a car, you could not go anywhere or do anything for that matter. Recently, cities around the world have been banning the use of cars and charging citizens with fines if cars become in use. The reasoning for this is the increased amount of pollution that diesel fuel is causing. Thus, making it difficult to breathe, walk outside, and live our everyday life.
One major problem in the use of diesel fuel has been the pollutants in the air which lead to an extreme amount of smog. Recently, Paris has had more smog than any other European capital. They knew that something had to be done to stop this, so they started a new "car-free" law. This resulted in a fine of $31 for the citizens who used their cars. Soon after that law had become intact, almost 4,000 drivers were fined, and just about 27 people had their cars impounded that day for their reaction to the fine.
The United States of America had long been one of the world's most prime car cultures. It is the birthplace of some of the very first car models. A lot of big cities in the U.S have a huge amount of driving going on. For example, New York City, San Fransico, Miami, Los Angeles, ect. This is leaving the country with a large amount of pollutants in the atmosphere. After President Obama's ambitions to decrease the amount of diesel fuel use, recent studies have shown that Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and are even having a decrease in the amount of licenses permited as each year passes. In 2013, the amount of miles driven per person was about 9 percent under the usual American peak. With the large amount of citizens living in this country and the number of people only rising, this small decrease has had a very positive effect on the environment.
With almost the entire world in on this new, "car-free" trend, people have been perfectly fine letting go of their cars and taking on the world just by foot. In the city of Vauban, Germany the citizens there would much rather pioneer their way through life than to own a car according to Heidrun Walter, who is a resident of Vauban. "I'm much happier this way." She claims. Back on the other side of Earth, people are becoming more and more encouraged to use plug-in cars, hybrids, and cars carrying 3 or more passengers. This decreases the amount of fuel being burned, and a happier and healthier environment for us all to live in.
In conclusion, I believe that the decrease in the amount of cars in use has recently had a very positive effect on our environment. This has all come to show that you don't always need a car to get where you want and to do the things that you need to do. Or, if you feel the need for a car that you can rely on a friend for carpooling or purchasing a plug-in car which are becoming much more popular and useful in today's society. Always remember to keep our environment happy and healthy, and always making each day better by putting the amount of diesel fuels burned by car use and the effects it has into consideration. | 3 |
Inroduction:
In this article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" it talks about how Venus is the hottest planet even though Murcury is closer to the sun. It also talks about the NASA how they sending humans to sudy Venus.
The author suggest that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers its presents because its cool to learn all the things about Venus but its also is a dangerous place to go to study it. I say that because in paragraph 3 they said
"Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere". You wil have to keep ur helment on when you go to Venus because Sulfric acid is a very dangerous chemcial , and if you inhale that or your skin come in contact with that ; you might died. Venus is the hottest planet, Vnus had the hottest surface tempertaure of any planet in our solar syate, even when Murcury is closer to our sun. For example " On the panets surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenhiet, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we exprience on our own planet". I chose that because it explains how hot it is and how dangerous it can be.
Another great example is that "Beyond high pressure and heat, Venusian geology and wether present additional impediments like erupting volcanoes , powerful earthquakes, and frequent lighting strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface." The reason i chose that is because Venus can cause alot of dangerous things but also its fasinating what Venus can do and how Venus is. NASA is using so much technology so they can get as much information on Venus and how it works. So they going to keep senidn humans to that planet to figure out is Venus was just like Earth. For example " Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system". I chose that because it just texplained why NASA keep sending humans out to Venus.
Furthermore "Today, Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on Earth." I chose that because they getting more and more details on how Venus was just like Earth in some ways. For example " The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familar feature s such as valleys, mountains, and craters." I cose that because that can be another option for humans to go there if something happenes to Earth and we can have somewhere else to live. For example "NOt easy conditions, but suvivable for humans". I chose that because it lets you know that even though its dangerous its still a good place for humans.
To sum things up I think its worthy to study Venus because you can learn so much about Venus and how its so much like Earth. For example "Our travels on earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expande o meet the very edges of imagination and innovation". I chose that because even though its dangerous you should still go visit venus and have a good imagination on how it would be if it was just like earth. It's a lot different and experiental because you get to leave earth and study more thing then just whats on earth. It's also challenging but its also so cool to see so much different things and it can be scary because you soooo many miles away from home; every second you in space is a year that pass by.
Conculsion:
Just go to have fun but also study and see kind of things you will find out , out there. For example "Earth's "twin", Venus is the clostest planet to Earth in term of density and size, and occasionally the closest
in distance too." Thats also a fact that Venus can be just like Earth because its right next to the Earth. | 3 |
If you don't mind parking in a $ 40,000 lot or not driving. Then you should reconsider living in these countries. Vauban Germany ,Paris and Bogota Colombia. These are just a few countries that do and don't allow citizens with cars to drive. Not allowing people to drive is really benefitial ,It brings down the pollution and it creates a alternative for transportation for some countries.
In the .U.S.A the environmental protection agency started to promte "car reduced". Experts expect public transport serving suburbs to play a much larger role in a new six-year federal transportion bill to be approved. This is good because in american there is a lot of motor vehicals and alot of pollution that needs to be decreased. In paris on the other hand had partial driving ban to clear the air of the city. Another great reason why vehical use should be to limit.
If you wear found driving with a even or odd plate , you would be fined 22-euro ($31).In colombia for the third year in a row they have banned car use for one whole day. Not including buses and taxis. violators faced $25 fines. Most of these countries them not driving is helping reduce the pollution and smog in there countries.
In retospec driving in everyday life may help you ,but its also hurting you at the sametime. | 2 |
The author supports their topic by giveing facts about the plant and its conditions on why we should even try to go to that plant. one reason that they shouldnt go is becuase yes it might be like our plant and it might be survival for us but the conditions their we would struggle.
"human have sent numerous spacecraft to land on his cloud-drapped world". this shows that if they cant even get it to were a spacecraft can land and withhold the damage and wind and heat their then how are we as hians going to be able to live on a dealy basis with a ground temp of 800 hundred degrees fahrenheit. we would die instanly u would be cooked another peace of evidences is that the atomspheric pressure is greater their then going to the deepest part of our ocean and going all the way down.
some of the facts i have showed u should show u that that not going to happend and that thats abad idea beacuase to me sounds like a lot of people are just going to die trying to figure out how to live on another planet but can figure out how to have life on that planet they say its " safe for human condiitions no probley not. | 1 |
The goverment uses a system of elctoral votes well i dont think we should during the presidential election the people shouldnt be voting for an elector who is gonna vote for them.
we shouldnt have an electoral vote because as always there would be a close election and the person with the popular vote can somtimes lose the presidency "and yet the electoral college still has its deffenders what gives". The bad thing is knowyone really votes for the president with an electoral college depending on what state you live in you"ll have a certain amount of demacrat for the person an a certain amount of republican and depending on who you chose theyll get those 34 votes why is that fair.
Electoral colleges can really mess things up because when you vote you vote for somyone who wouldnt even be in the public office so who are vyou really voting for somtimes the state conventions make them choose who thier voting for. most of all this process can really confuse you and make you choose the wrong canidate. Then if theres a tie then the votes get xent somwere else were morev strangers that you dont know vote on youre votes
The goverment uses a system of electoral votes i dont think we should do that because every state has an uneven number of electoral votes wich can kinda throw the hole voting process off so let the people have thier own say in wh they want to vote for | 1 |
Human emotion is similar to that of a rubix cube. To say the least, they are both incredibly hard to understand. For some, it's quite easy to read and understand how one feels just by looking at them. Meanwhile others, might have a more excruciating time trying to understand how another person feels. However, with the upbringing of a new technology called the Facial Action Coding System, that may no longer be the case. The software is able to decipher human emotion by using video imagery.That is why as technology is becoming more advanced by the day, the use of the Facial Action Coding Sytem in places such as classrooms
is extremely valuable.
In today's generation, the use of technology is more prevalent than ever before. Especially in the classroom. By using the FACS (Facial Action Coding System) , teachers and students would be able to help modify teaching lessons to help improve the classroom and school learning environment. In paragraph six Prof. Thomas Huang, of Beckman Institute for Advanced Science at the University of Illinois, discusses the use of using such elite hardware in schools. "' A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored.'" The text also descirbes how using the Facial Action Coding Sytem can be benfeficial on computers saying "Imagine a computer that knows when you're happy or sad...if you smile when a web ad appears on your screen, a similar ad might follow...if you frown, the next ad will be different." By using the Facial Action Coding System, teachers and students would be able to explain questions and problems to each other, as well as how to make learning a more suitable experience for everyone in the classroom. This includes having simpler homework questions or practicing questions by using computer games or programs.
The use of the advanced software could even go far beyond the classroom and into after school activities. By using the FACS software, it could hep students get more involved in after school activities or help them improve on a specific skill for that activity. In paragraph nine, the text discusses how drama coach Constatin Stanislavsky uses the Facial Action Coding Sytem helps improve his actors emotions on stage. "...A renowned drama coach... had his actors carefully reproduce smiling and frowning as a way of creating these emotions on stage. Empathy...may happen because we unconsciously imitate another person's facial expressions." The use of these advanced tools isn't only a teaching method. It is a way to steadily improve how one preforms in any aspect of their activities. Not only is this valuable in classrooms, it is valuable in activities such as theater.
As technology is becoming more and more advanced by the day, it is important that the people of this generation use the tools given so they can improve in all parts of their daily lives. By using the Facial Action Coding Sytem, science and technology is opening the door to a bigger and brighter future. | 3 |
Would you like to go on a trip to Europe. Then when you graduate go to seagoing cowboy maybe next time he goes he will bring you with him .
It is really fun you get to go to China you get to go across the Alantic ocean . You can also go across the Pacific ocean.
You can play all kinds of sport s like volleyball,baseball,and table tennis. You an also dance if you want toan. It is so fun there you can do every thing there on th ship ride there you can feed the animals and play with them maybe if they let you.
Another reason is that this trip is a once in a life time. If you like animals and peole you should go on this trip and it is also a once in a life timetrip so if you had a chance to go i would go.
You can help animals such as horse sheep it will be alot of fun . Next time you should go to Europe with your friends. | 1 |
i think that technology is valuable because you can tell when peoples expressions show they have a emotion like when their eyebrows go up their surprised or if their lips tighten up their angry so that's really cool because you can tell when their mad, sad,happy and thats how people can tell someone is having a bad day or just sad over something really bad so thats why i agree cause i always wanted to know what people are feeling.
this evidence i got it from the article saying that thieir having technology where you can tell what people are feeling inside of them or if their mad at you or other stuff so its really cool that they invented this technology cause now people can see peoples emotions and we could never do that.
the whole point of this article is about inventing a technology where everyone can tell what your emotions are and what your body expresses those are your emotions and thats how people know what your are expressing. | 0 |
The limiting on car usage would be a huge positive on the world and the people. As everyone knows, cars now adays are the key to "Making it around the world". They say cars make your life easier and its good for the economy. Some of those facts are true but at the same time not exaclty.
Automobiles are the "linchpin of suburbs". People can not live without their cars and need them for where ever they need to go ; work,the park,the store. Sooner or later in the future humans might not live at all with the usage of cars. In the article In German Suburbs,Life Goes On Without Cars, it says "Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emmisions in Europe". All these fums and such are beimg spread in the air. And in Paris, pollution was a big effect on the peopel. Filing the air with smokes and harmful gases that affect a persons health. Do you want to go outside and have a hard time breathing?- Nope i didnt think so. Congestion was down 60 percent in the capital of France after intensifying smog. Diesel fuel was the cause of that only because France favors diesel over gasoline. This decrease in cars will be better for implications for carbon emissions and the environment.
When you buy a car, you need space for it to stay in. A space can cost up to $40,000 max. That is alot of money you could save for other appliances and daily life products. Also with a car you may get fines for speeding or anything in that state. In the article Paris bans driving due to smog Robert Duffer said motorists with even-numbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a 22-euro fine. Almost 4,000 drivers were fined. The less cars the better! why go through all that trouble. As well as less cars means no highway usage meaning more construction for buildings and stores. And think about it! More stores you can shop at and save more money to shop at those stores because you arent buying gas everywhere you go and paying for car innsurance.
Cars are benefitial for alot of things. But for the people and our future,it would be best to cut out cars and make our lives healthier and better. It will become a huge positive on the world. | 3 |
Certainly there are many different opinions about the Face found on Mars. Some people believe the Face was made by aliens, while other people believe it is a natural landform. I strongly believe that the Face is a natural landform because there is scientific evidence to prove that a landform could be formed on Mars and there are similar landforms like the Face on Earth.
First of all, there is scientific evidence that proves landforms can form on Mars.
For example, scientists have found that mountains, canals, and volcanoes have formed on Mars. Scientists have also found that Mars, like Earth, has tectonic plates. Tectonic plates cause many different landforms to form when they shift and move around. If tectonic plates create landforms on Earth that no human can, it should be reasonable to think that tectonic plates can be the cause of landforms on Mars.
Secondly, Mars has similar landforms to the landforms on Earth. Just like Earth, Mars has volcanoes, mountains, and canals. Scientist have found that tectonic plates are the cause of many of the landforms we see on Earth today. For example, mountains are formed when two tectonic plates collide and push against each other, trying to push the opposing plate underneath. If none of the plates budge, the plates will begin to push each other up tho form mountains. For canals to form, water would have to run over the land for a while and erode the rocks until a ditch forms. Even though there isn't water on Mars now, scientist have proved that water has once been on Mars. Since water and tectonic plates cause landforms on Earth, the same elements must cause landforms on Mars as well.
Even though I believe that the Face is a natural landform, many other people will disagree with that statement. Many people with opposing viewpoints from mine will say that aliens built the face. Firstly, there is no scientific evidence to even prove the existence of aliens. Secondly, the pictures from the space crafts show no sign of any civilization near by the Face. On Earth, we may have ancient Pyramids that weren't formed naturally, but there were civilizations around those pyramids. Around the Face on Mars there is no sign of any villages or aliens living there. With a Bird-eye view, the face does't seem to have any human facial features. Only when there is a shadow, the features of a human being appear. This makes the Face seem like it was just a coincidence that it had terestrial features. With the lack of evidence to support the claim that aliens made the Face on Mars, it is hard to believe that such an idea could be true.
In conclusion, I believe the Face on Mars is just a natural landform because there are landforms on Earth that are the same as those on Mars and those landforms were made from tectonic plates and water. I believe that you look at the evidence provided to you before you draw any conclusions. | 4 |
Dear Senator of my State,
Being a citizen of the state of Florida, I dearly wish for the Electoral College voting to no longer continue.
In my state of opinion, we should change the election of voting to the most popular vote for the President of the
United States. I have thought through for awhile that the Electoral College is rather dumb. But of course
I cant just say that and think you will get rid of it, i have to have my reasons of why i think this and share them with you.
First off, when we want citizens to vote, such as my self, we want all of thier votes to count for something.
Not just some little game for you senators to play with. All of our voting need to be included by what we voted in the first place and what we want, thats the whole point of voting. For example, we dont always control whom our electors vote for, that's unfair. Or even worse, we get confused about the electors and sometimes vote for the wrong candidate. Citizens that are voting for a candidate should never be confused on who they vote for. So if i was a State Senator i would stop the Electoral College for good.
There are many reasons for retaining the Electoral College despite its lack of democratic pedigree. I would state them all but unfortunatly i am running out of time. Just know that i think that the Electoral College is unhealthy and is wrong for our society and it is completly an anachronism. Its NOT hard to say but Bob Dole was right, " Abolish the electoral college! " . | 1 |
The facial action coding syestem should not be used to identify human emotions. However, they should be considered to help others know how that one person is feeling, so the yknow how to help.
When someone is feeling sad or depressed they should not have to be forced to tell someone how they feel or why they feel that way. Why make someone have to say something about it when the computer can do it for them. If the computer can do it that person wont have to worry about having to talk about it and that makes them even more upset just talking about it. when the article says " facial expressions are universal" this is not truwe because even if you use a computer that doesnt always mean it is going to be right. It could be wrong and you could get that persons emotions wrong and mixed up. On the other hand when the article states that "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored, a computer could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." Why should a human need to do it when the computer can do it and make it more fun for the teacher and for the students who have to learn it. if a computer can help someone with their emotions than it it is a good idea because they can also help that person know how to express it or it can help them overcome that emotion if they could harm themselves.
Facial action coding syste is a good thing so that if someone doesnt know what someone else is thinking the computer can do it for them. So lets use this system to help others out when they are in need. | 2 |
To begin , i think that the electoral college is not working. Because under the electoral college system voters dont vote for the president they vote for a slate of electors. And from source two it says that the electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrational , and that many people think that the electoral college should be abolished .
Additionally, the electoral college is unfair to voters . Because the winner takes all the systems in each state because candidates dont spend time in the state they know they not going to have a chance to win . And also they dont get to have their ads every where in every state bcause in Rhode Island and South Carolina voters in 25 of the biggest media markets didnt get to see a single campaign ad.
Plus ,I think that the electoral college dosent work because voters can not control whom their electors vote for . And sometimes voters sometimes get confused about the electors and vote for the wrong candidate because this system is so confusing and bad that its to the point that the electoral college needs to be abolished . Also i think that the that electoral college does not work because it is very outdated and things have changed in this world and that we need a new system so our citizens can choose on how they want the worlds or government system to be like as years pasts bye. Plus many have said and argued that the Electoral College method of selecting a president may turn off pontential voters for a candidate.
Why should the Electoral college be abolished ? Because we as people should have a choice to select a president without having someone to select for us after we selected the president we want to control our country. And we shouldnt have to worry about if i electors choose the right president for us because it states that ''Some electors use your votes for them so that either choose who they want to become president or use your votes to support them if they want to run for president''. And to be honest i really dont think this system is organized correct because for this system to be good they would need for all elections to be equal and for electors not to use our votes and pick who they want like some do because they have no proof that electors are choosing the people that we want to be come president and to protect the United states.
To conclude , i think that the electoral college is not working. Because of lack of equal rights and votes towards who should be the president of the United States Of America. | 3 |
It was not aliens! "The Face on Mars" was not made by aliens. It is a natural landform. It is a Martian messa. The messa was revealed to the public as an attraction to gain peoples interset in Mars not to assure proof of aliens. It could not have been created by aliens because it is a natural landform like any other massive landforms on Earth. Also it was revealed to the public to be an attraction.
The messa: "The Face on Mars" was discovered in 1976 by a voyager named Viking. The messa was revealed to the public a few days later. The authors reasoned it would draw attention to Mars. The reasoning for revealing the messa proves it was not created by aliens it is a natural landform. Things like the Appilation Mountains were not created but are natural landforms. the same thing goes for "The Face on Mars," it wasnt created by aliens but is a natural landform.
In conclusion the messa was not created by aliens. The Face on Mars is a natural land mass. Just like landforms on Earth the messa on Mars was not made but is a natural landform. Also the messa was revealed to the public to draw attention to Mars not to assure alien life. These reasons are just two of the many that prove why "The Face on Mars" is a natural landform and not made by aliens. | 1 |
I don't think driverless cars would be a good idea. There are many disadvanteges for having a driverless car. There are some good advantages but they could also turn into bad ones. There are many reasons why I think driverless cars aren't a good idea.
If you're driving in a driverless car you wouldn't have to be alert of anything. You wouldn't have to worry about anything in your way because the car would already be alert. You wouldn't have control of the wheel and couldn't avoid any accidents or anything that could cause accidents. They have sensors, but what if the sensor didnt respond right and hit a car or a person? Who would be responsible for the accident, the driver or the manufacturer?
Anyone could also drive a driverless car. You wouldn't need a license for it and police wouldn't be able to stop you. If police tried to pull you over you wouldn't have control of the car to stop it because the car is trying to reach its destination.
If a non-licensed driver took a car they wouldn't get punished for it because you woudn't need a license to be in a driverless car. A lot of people also wouldn't have to money to afford a driverless car. Many people now can barely afford a car. A driverless car would be very expensive because of all of the technology it has.
There are good advantages about the car. One would be that they woudn't use a lot of gas, but if you wouldn't use a lot of gas the gas prices would go up and make it very expensive. The driverless cars would have more flexibility but most of the cars would look the same. Would the car still alert you if anything is wrong with it? Where would you fix it? The products would also be very expensive because of the technology the car uses.
I think our cars now are good because you have all of the control. You also have to be a licensed driver to drive and you would be more alert of what is going on and what you are doing. You could avoid accidents and also pull over if you need to or have to. Not anyone can drive a car and police could stop you and warn you if you're doing something wrong. | 2 |
The use of the Facial Action Coding System, or FACS, to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom can be valuabe in some subjects. Subjects like psychology, the studies of human emotions, and sociology. The study of human emotions and how to read them has been a major topic since the Ancient Roman times. There are many words and phrases to depictict emotions and there are so many emotions they are sometimes hard to explain. Emotions can also be tricky to read but with new and developed technology like the Facial Action Coding System certain emotions can be deciphered and used for research.
Reading emotions can be difficult if you aren't a professional like a therapist or psychologist and haven't studied them for many years like people in those occupations have. Being able to read emotions is vital in this current generation because if a fellow person or classmate is feeling depressed, by reading their emotions it could prevent something dangerous from happening. With technology like the Facial Action Coding System it could teach students how to read emotions like loneliness and sadness to get students the mental health care that they need.
In conclusion the use of FACS to read the emotional expressions of students is valuable to educate students and identify students at risk for depression. FACS could help students to notice other students that they may not have noticed before and get them help. FACS could also help students studying psychology and sociology to better read emotions. | 2 |
In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" by Nick D'Alto, technology called the Facial Action Coding System enables computers to identify human emotions. The use of this technology should be used in schools to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom because being able to identify what might be bothering others could be beneficial. Young adults could be facing something serious in their life but may not have the right words to express how they feel. Finding help for those feeling down is difficult. Using this technology could help those in need. This technology can help with identifying if a student is happy or worried, being able to have fun and put a smile on a students face while using this technology, and being able to identify if a student is confused or bored.
The Facial Action Coding System can help with students and their emotions. "Of course, most students would have trouble actually describing each facial trait that conveys happy, worried, etc." (5). Not everyone can tell what an individual is feeling. The help of this technology can help those who need it most. It can help detect if a student is happy or worried, but it can also put a smile on someones face.
Using this technology can help put a smile on your face in many ways. "The Mona Lisa demonstration is really intended to bring a smile to your face." (6). A lot of technology used today can put a smile on someone's face. Video games, social media, etc. Using the Facial Action Coding System is beneficial in many ways as well. It can help with being productive, getting help for a student who might need it. Technology can help with putting a smile on a students face, but it can also help with identifying if a student is confused or bored.
Technology can help identify if a student is confused or bored and could also help them for later in the future. "'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.'" (6). Being able to identify a students emotions in a school could possibly help the student with getting better grades, feeling better about themselves, and passing each day with positivity. It can be difficult for a student to explain how they feel to another. The Facial Action Coding System has multiple ways on finding a solution for many problems that students are faced with today. This technology can help detect if a student is confused or bored, if a student is happy or worried, and being able to have fun with this technology.
Today, many students are faced with difficult times. Students have to deal with so much during their schooling years and having difficult emotions to deal with also. The Facial Action Coding System could be very benificial to students and others. It can help with the problems that might hold them back from doing their best in school. This technology could help identify a student who is happy or worried, being able to have fun while using this technology, and being able to identify if a student is confused or bored. | 3 |
I am for the deveIopment of the cars. I believe that the developement of driverless would be great. There is always a good and negative side to thing. The negative thing about driverless cars is that they still require humans. The good thing about them is that there would be less accidents due to people on their phones while driving. Driverless cars would improve our world in both good ways, they also have a bad side, they would also require half of the amount a current car uses.
Driverless cars would improve our world for the better. According to the article the cars would have sensors that cause the car to apply brakes when there is danger. The cars would also alert the driver when it needs you to take ove the wheel. There would be less reckless driving. The roads would be much safer. The self driven cars would not require as much as todays cars do.
Driverless cars also have a negative side. The cars still require a human to be alert in case he needs to take the wheel. The care requires a human hand to be on the wheel while the car is driving. A danger is that the brakes could suddenly go off putting the people in the car in danger. According to the article the car cannot drive itself around work zones and around accidents. So the human would need to drive.
I am for the development of driverless cars. I believe driverless cars would improve our world.
I think they would be a great developement. According to the article they would require half of the gas a regular car uses in todays market. The cars would react much faster than a human due to thier sensors applying brakes much faster. The number of deaths would be less due to driverless cars. Less control a human has the less reckless driving there will be.
Automakers should continue their work to improve the driverless car. They would require half of the current cars. They would make the steets safer. The self driven cars would allow humans to be on their phones without putting others in danger. Humans could still gain control of car if needed. | 2 |
Dear senator. One thing I like is people trying to get an education. just like me, im on my way on becoming a person who dedacates him or herself to thier job no matter what. one way to make a good education is to work hard, get plentey of sleep, and eat right! to make the day better. another way is staying in school. and you may say oh, school's boring , no fun , or just plain dumb. But did you ever figure to you that if you go to class for one day, it could reflect. How? well just think this, deciding wether or not you want to skip class or go to class, the day in class is like a year in college and a year of not going to school, could be a day in jail. so think about it, do you want to stay in class or do you want to stay in a cell, well that's your choice on wether you want to choose a good one or not. "anyway lets talk about something else shall we?" lets see what should we talk about.... OH! I know, lets talk about Electoral college. do you know what it is? electoral college is a process not a place. electoral college is the founding fathers established it in the constitution as a compromise between election of the president by a popular vote of qualified citizens. the process consists of a selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for president and vice president and the electoral votes by congress. i think that the congress is making a good dicision on keeping it this way to elect the presedent. so if you think the same good. because thats one way our socity is a step closer on becoming the perfect socity. do you think so? | 0 |
While most people believe the "Face" on mars was just a natural landform there are also people who believe it was created by aliens. Those people believed it was an alien artifact that was seen in the photograph taken above Mars by Viking 1 during 1946. But there are many peices of evidence that support the idea of the "Face" just being a natural landform.
For starters, when the "Face" was first seen on Cydonia, Mars, it was photographed by Viking 1 on 1976, which during that time cameras weren't as powerful as cameras now so the picture quality back in 1976 was blurry compared to today's photos. The '' Face" was actually just a Martian mesa which is a lava dome, which are common in Cydonia. Soon after, scientists concluded " it was a huge rock formation which resembles a human head formed by shadows giving the illusion of eyes, nose, and mouth." And if the "Face was actually created by aliens NASA wouldn't have told the public since it could've caused public panic, but instead NASA used the ''Face" as a way to attract the public's attention towards Mars. So in the end, the "Face" did bring much attention to Mars which was NASA's intention.
While conspiracy theorists believe the "Face" was real evidence of life on Mars, it was actually not, defenders of the NASA budget confirmed it when they said that they wished there was an ancient civilization on Mars. Even when few scientists believed the Face was an alien artifact, photographing Cydonia became a priority for NASA. So on April 5, 1998, the Mars Global Surveyor flew over Cydonia for the first time. Then, the Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) team took a picture which was ten times sharper rhan the original Viking photos. And so, the Face was confimed by Micheal Malin and his Orbiter Cameria (MOC) team to just be a natural landform.
But still again people were not content since the Face on Mars was located 41 degrees north martian latitude where it was winter in April 1998, which was a cloudy day. And so, the camera in the MGS had to take a photograph though clouds to see the Face which skepics still said "alien markings were hidden by the haze." So once more, on April 8, 2001, which was a cloudless summer day in Cydonia the MGS or the Mars Global Sirveyor grew closer until it was 25 degrees to center the Face in the field of view. The 2001 photo spans 1.56 meters compared to 43 meters per pixel in the best 1976 Viking photo.
In conclusion, the photo taken on 2001, finally confirmed that the Face on Mars was really a Martian equivalent of a buttle or mesa. So in the end, the Face was never created by aliens but it was just a natural landform. | 3 |
Have you ever through of somethig simple in life like studying venus. " The author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers because they are so many risks. Venus still has some features than the other planet on the earth and because most of people called it "Evening star."
" The Challenge of Exploring Venus," because they are worthy pursuit some condition. They are price etc. we need to buy gas,sample of rock. The scientists seeking conduct a through mission to Venus would need personal despite to risks himself it is a danger place. They are such conditions are far more extreme than anything humans on the Earth. As we know that Venus has teh hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system, even though Mercury is closet to our sun.
When we talk about planet it is about Education. An environment or our surrounding would crush even submarine accustomed to diving because some of them they are so deepest parts o the Ocean and it would be quality of life. Education it based on everything we study like etc. Earthquakes,Volcanoes ,Venus, Mars,. Numerours factors contribute to Venus's reputation as a challenging planet for humans to study , despite its proximity. A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus.
Indeed the article has something which is really important. I agree with the article but they are other thing he did say about planet. As we know they are geology and weather present and additional. They frequent lighting strikes happen when it is dangers to go anywhere. | 0 |
When my friend Don Reist offered me on a trip to go to Europe on a cattle boat. I had to say yes, I knew I would never be able to do ever again. It was really fun doing it and special at the same time because I got to help people in need and see Europe and China. I also played a lot off games and we got to just sit there and look at the Pacific Ocean.
First off the best part was that I got to help people in need. I mean these people had nothing everything they had got like wipped out. I got to go all over the place just helping people. All the places we got to see were all so pretty and delightful. By the time i go discharged i had alredy made nine trips that is the most of any Seagoing Cowboy.
Next getting to see all over Europe and China was also really fun. I got to take a gondola ride in Vencice,Italy, that is the city with streets of water. A fun part was after the animals got unloaded. We played games like baseball, volleyball, table-tennis tournaments, fencing, boxing, reading, and whitting in the empty holds were the animals used to be.
Finally all in all the trip made me understand there are people in other countries that need help. If you were everable to do this and you did I bet you really enjoyed yourself. Hopefully by all of these details you will want to sign up for a trip to go to Europe on a cattle boat. It is not all fun and games, your really have to do stuff like feed the animals. If it wasn't for my friend Don Reist I would have never got to witness this amazingness. | 1 |
People are facinated with the Man on the Moon and the idea of Martians, but most people do not think about life on Venus. Venus is the second planet from the sun and shares many geographical features with Earth. However, studying this planet is made difficult by the dense and toxic atmosphere, high temperatures, and violent weather. Despite this, some people think that Venus should still be explored, and the author of "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" is of this opinion. The idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers is well supported by the author as seen through the rewards of studying Venus and the progress that has been made towards studying Venus.
First, the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers is well supported by the author as seen through the many rewards of studying Venus. After laying out the dangers of studying Venus, the author explains why scientists continue to study the planet. "Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system" (4). By studying Venus, astronomers and geologists can predict what might happen to Earth in the future. Gaining an understanding of Earth's future may well allow scientists to predict what happened in Earth's past. Scientists are eager to learn about the early years of Earth's past, as it is shrouded in mystery, and this thirst for knowledge motivates them to study Venus. In describing how similar Venus was to Earth, the author says, "Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life" (4). If there was once life on Venus, the similarity between it and Earth would grow. As with geology, if biologists can understand what caused life to cease on Venus, they might be able to predict how life on Venus and on Earth might have started. The author shows that scientists studying Venus reap the reward of being able to learn about Earth's geology and early life. By laying out the various rewards to be had from studying Venus, the author is strengthening his or her argument that Venus should be studied.
Secondly, the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers is well supported by the author as seen through the large amount of progress that has been made towards studying Venus. Although the author describes how Venus could be studied from the air, scientists still desire to learn about Venus from the planet's surface. One of their solutions to the problem of getting equipment to last on the surface of Venus is to expirement with new materials. "Simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the choas of Venus's surface and have lasted of three weeks in such conditions" (7). Research and experimentation taking place on Earth is giving scientists and astronauts more options for studying Venus. Although conditions on Venus are not hospitable to life, these new scientific advances are making it possible for data-gathering equipment to be sent to the surface of Venus and last long enough to gather data. Other scientists are moving away from traditional electronics and looking into purely mechanical systems. "Systems that use mechanical parts can be made more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces" (7). The alternative that has presented itself to would-be explorers of Venus is older technology, like that found in the earliest computers. Scientists have realized that modern technology is too fragile and that more durable technologies are needed. By turning to other forms of technology, scientists are widening their options for ways to study Venus. The author mentions three different ways that scientists are making progress towards being able to study Venus - from the air, using new materials, and using old technologies. The author's postion that Venus should continue to be studied is supported by the scientific advancements that are serving to make studying Venus a reality.
In conclusion, the author's opinon that Venus should continue to be studied despite the dangers is well supported by the rewards of studying another Earth-like planet and the advancements that have been made towards being able to effectively study Venus. Scientists have strong motivation for studying Venus, and new technologies are making it possible for them to overcome the challenges presented by Venus's harsh terrain. Although scientists studying Venus are unlikely to encounter any life forms, what they do discover will help them to understand Earth's past and shape our future. | 5 |
Is the use of technology to read emotional expressions in the classroom valuable? Maybe. In paragraph 6 of Making Mona Lisa smile by Nick D'alto, there is reason to believe that reading the emotions of students can help focus on what students want to do, or what they enjoy in the classroom. Which will ultimately help them learn better if they're learning what they like. Artificial emotion reading is a new technology developed by Thomas Huang in the Advanced science branch at the University of Illinois, and has reached word of many schools, who are ready to fully endorse it as a form of reading the emotions students feel, to help adapt the way they are taught into a more fun and interesting way.
However, there is one clear down set to this idea, and thats that if kids need to be facially monitered to know if they enjoy the class or not, then it's probably the teachers fault. Yes reading emotions would be a cool feature to add to know if students are enjoying what they are learning, but it will probably be an expensive technology to purchase. Furtherly noted, also stated in Making Mona Lisa Smile, we don't completely communicate with each other through words, so it wouldn't exactly be an impossible thing for teachers to realize if they're being boring if they pay attention to how the students are reacting to what they are teaching. It just seems as though it is an unnecessary piece of technology that many want entered into the classroom setting.
All in all there are pros and cons to moving this piece of artificial intelligence into classrooms. Some pros would be; The ability to know how students are reacting to what they are learning, and it would help to focus on what motivates kids to do there school work. However, a few cons would be; Its not cheap, and you most likely don't need it in the classroom. Lastly, there could defenitely be legal trouble with parents not wanting there children monitored throughout the day via their mobile school device. Artifical Emotion reading is a cool idea, but honestly, not very practical, and not exactly necessary. | 2 |
In the article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus", the author does not support the idea that studying Venus is a worhty pursuit despide the dangers it presents.
He states that it is a worthy pursuit to study it, but in the beginning he starts by listing off the reasons why we haven't done it before. The text states, "Each previous mission was unmanned, and for a good reason, since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours". The last trip was "more than three decades" ago, but the landscape itself is not safe. The "temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit" and the "pressure is 90 times greater" than on earth. To put that into prespective he says that the "environment would crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and would liquify many metals". That kind of environment would be extremely hard to get to, especially to study. The environment is dangerous from the pressure, temperature, and the fact that there are "erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes".
NASA has been developing "possible" solutions to these risks. "Or maybe we should think of them as challenges." the author wrote. One possible solution would "allow scientists to float above the fray". One of the problems with this such solution is that "the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere" prevent in-depth scientic discovery and any sort of collection of rocks or gases. In this scenario they would have limited vision and be at temperatures of about "170 degrees Fahrehit". This is, "Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans." according to the author. It is survivable, but they have limited vision and cannot collect anything to study unless they alter their plans and place themselves in far more danger.
NASA is working on other approaches to studying Venus, such as "some simplified electronics" which when placed in conditions simulating Venus have "lasted for three weeks in such conditions.". They looked at older technology as well, some dating back towards World War II. The author of the article speaks about these things in development, but gives no information on how they could be used. If the devices were to be used like a probe, getting past the "frequent lightning strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface" would be another added difficulty.
In "The Challenge of Exploring Venus", the article does not support the idea of studying Venus despite it's dangers very well. He talks about the dangers and possible solutions, but never what they would be able to get out of those missions to study. All in all, the article does not have sufficient data to say that the outcome is worth the risk. | 3 |
Since I turned fifteen all I could remember dreaming of was my sixteenth birthday and getting a license, like most normal teenage girls. I just couldn't hold back on the feeling I got just thinking about a car and that freedom I would finally have as a licensed driver. That's when my mom decided how important it was to take care of the planet, and how I should dedicate my time to making this planet all the more greener. I've always been interested in the environment so I though about all the ways I could stay green...with a car that is. What most people don't understand however is the amount of pollution we have in our planet today and how we can do few simple things to avoid it, that's right girls, stop worrying so much about the car and focus more on how you could limit car usage and the advantages of doing so such as avoiding more polution, walking which can actually help you health wise and maybe even saving money on gas; a little green for green.
The amount of polution we have here in dear mother earth is just astonishing. Take Paris for example which happens to have more smog than any other European capital. This kind of polution isn't only bad for the environment however, it also affects us as individuals, polution can not only intoxicate our planet but us as well. Rather than spending a life time figuring out solutions and filling our bodies up with medication we should just be avoiding the problem once and for all, kill it at its source. Avoid using so much car travel that at the end of the day, a bus can take you to the same place and best of all, it comes guilt free.
Adding to the whole idea of a healthy lifestyle and environment, try walking, which by the way also prevents car usage and so kills two birds with one stone. If you drop the keys and pick up a pair of running shoes your helping to save the envoironment and at the same time guaranteeing a longer life for yourself. Take Bogota, Colombia for instance and its brilliant idea of Car-free day. Yes, it's exactly as it sounds; a whole day dedicated to reducing car usage, and although they still allow buses and taxis on the streets, regualr every day use cars are 100% banned. Whats the point of this you may ask? Well, it all must begin somewhere, one action creates a chain reaction.
One of an average persons problems here in America involve financial issues, especially now with the economy we have, gas prices aren't the same. How can you avoid a situation like this that may even help you cut down on your daily budget? How about taking other methods of transportation for a change? This way you save extra money for other necessities and at the same time, help clean out our environment by changing up your daily car trips here and there. Although it may not seem like much, a little bit of something can make a huge difference.
All in all, I believe it is important for everyone to undestand how essential it is that we put some thought into our world, especially those eager to drive. Just take a minute out of your eveyday busy schedules and find ways to reduce reuse and recycle to make our world even better for our future generations. | 3 |
"The Challenge of Exploring Venus" argues why humans should research Venus, despite the difficulties that may follow. The author provides information about Venus and what makes it such a hard planet to explore, but more importantly, why that should not stop researchers and scientists. Through the author's compelling argument, readers are able to form their own opinion of whether Venus should be explored. The author supports the idea of studying Venus well by dicussing benefits, ways to avoid dangers on Venus, and future experiments, all while including strong evidence and interesting hooks to captivate the readers.
After sharing information about Venus, the author begins to discuss the benefits of exploring the planet. The author supports their argument well by giving compelling evidence to back up their statements and opinions. It is stated in paragraph 4, "Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system". This quote shows the value in exploring Venus, further supporting the author's argument. The article goes on to share another compelling reason; the fact that Venus is "our nearest option for a planetary visit", as stated in paragraph 4. The current limitations of space travel only allow for close visits for astronauts, making Venus a compelling planet. By discussing the benefits of exploring Venus and giving evidence to support it, the author starts off their argument very strong.
Next, the author shares how astronauts can get past the many dangers that Venus presents. This acts as a refutation for any arguments that claim Venus is too dangerous to explore. In paragraph 5, the author shares an idea of a blimp-like vehicle that would allow astronauts to survive. They state, "Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans". There are also other approaches that can be taken that the author shares. In paragraph 7, simplified electronics are discussed because of their ability to survive on Venus. This ongoing project shows that there are ways to explore Venus and that the idea is not entirely impossible. The author also brings in evidence to support their claim by sharing the science behind simplified electronics. This shows that the statements made are not false and allows for the readers to understand how the electronics work. These refuations leave no doubt for any other arguments, creating a stronger support.
The author later compels the readers with motivation and inspiration by arguing that the challenges should only bring more drive to explore the impossible. In paragraph 8, they state, "Striving to meet the challenge presented by Venus has value, not only because of the insight to be gained on the planet itself, but also because human curiosity will likely lead us into many equally intimidating endeavors". The author is able to finally bring to rest the argument that Venus is too dangerous to explore. More importantly, it also shows the emotion that the author brings into the paper. All throughout the article, the author uses many hooks in order to draw the reader in. This technique makes the article more approchable and altogether much more interesting. Discussing the value in exploring Venus allows readers to believe that humans are capable of surpassing the challenges, despite the odds. It also draws more interest in, as not all people who read the article will be interested in space or the importance of it. Even if someone who reads the article is not interested, they will at least be inspired at the end. The last sentence in the article states "Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation". Imagination and innovation appeal to everyone, allowing for a stronger arguement that will presuade anyone who reads the article.
Overall, "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" is a very presuasive article. The paper starts off with information about Venus, drawing the reader in. The author explains the reasons why humans should not be daunted by the nature of the planet, and goes on to give evidence to support their reasons. Solutions are given in order to survive Venus' challenges in order to refute any arguments against their claims. Lastly, the author uses strong hooks and compelling arguments that appeal to anyone in order to create a persuasive article that interests the reader from beginning to end. The idea that Venus should be explored is well supported in the article, leaving no one to be against it. | 4 |
In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile," the author, Nick D'Alto explains how a recent technology called the "Facial Action Coding System" reveals human emotions in pictures. This is actually rather convincing to believe. How can you identify a picture's emotions through a new software? The use of the new technology, "Facial Action Coding System" used to read facial emotional expressions is not valuable to students in classroom because it seems too expensive for a public school to use, it looks to be more useful at images, and video games.
"Facial Action Coding System" is not useful to students in a classroom because it is expensive and mostly unaffordable for all classes. D'Alto explains what this technology is made up of, and its component looks expensive. On paragraph 3 the author explains that, "The process begins when the computer constructs a 3-D computer model of the face; all 44 major muscles in the model must move like human muscles." (D'Alto 3) Having a 3-D model computer in classes not less than a hundred is money consuming and might ruin the school's budget. Having such prestige technology in class does not mean the students in the classroom will learn better or try changing their facial expressions.
Also, most of these type tehnologies are useful mainly at expensive images such as Mona Lisa portrait. This type of system only helps solve the mysteries behind old images such as Mona Lisa and not students' emotions. The author reveals that. "The Mona Lisa demonstration is really intended to bring a smile to your face, while it shows just how much this computer can do." (D'Alto 6) This shows that the Facial Action Coding System is mainly useful for such mystery portraits. It only helps solve people's curiosity rather than help students in classrooms.
Lastly the new technology also help make computer expressions more real in video games. Dr. Huang explains that, "The same technology can make computer-animated faces more expressive__ for video games or video surgery." (D'Alto 6) This evidence shows that the new software is more valuable at helping video gemes to look more real than helping students to study harder or to succeed.
Lastly, the new technology, "Facial Action Coding System" is not relevant for students in classroms because it is unaffordable, mainly useful for expensive portraits, and video games. There are many disadvantages than advantages for using the new technology at schools. The new system is more useful at video games and expensive portraits such as Mona Lisa's than in schools. | 3 |
In this article it was talking about how there is now a program that can read the known human emotions by useing a 3D model of whoever its trying to read. Like students in class it will be able toread their emotion in call and see if they are bored or unhappy with the lession that is going on. Also the evidence to back it up is that this program has read the emotion of Mona lisa with. Actual rates of her emotions but we could not use this program at home because it is way to complex for it also it uses the same technique that divinci used by using human anatomy which they said would be great for video games and video surgery. Which in the end will greatly increase childrens involement in the class room because. It will know what really gets the kids engaged into whatever the teacher may be teaching at the time. | 1 |
