The author supports the idea that Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents by stating facts about Venus and stating how humans are curious about studying Venus.
The author states why people are fascinated about studying Venus at first in the text.
The text states in paragraph 4 line 2-4 " Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-liike planet in our solar system."
This shows why astronomers want to study Venus in the first place.
Then, the author states interesting facts about Venus in paragraph 3 to show how dangerous but intriguing Venus is.
The text states in paragraph 3 in lines 2-3 "Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere."
The text also states in paragraph 3 in lines 3-6 " 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."
This shows how the author uses facts about Venus to show how interesting the planet is.
Finally, the author shows that NASA is having problems and is trying to find a way around Venus and its hostile atmosphere to uncover more knowledge about Venus.
The text states in paragraph 6 lines 1-5 "However, peering at Venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can provide only limited insight on ground conditions because most forms of light cannot penetrate the dense atmosphere, rendering standard forms of photography and videography ineffective," and in paragraph 6 lines 5-6 state "More importantly, researchers cannot take samples of rock,gaas, or anything else, from a distance.
The text also states in paragraph 6 lines 9-11 "Many researchers are working on innovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowledge of Venus."
This shows how tough it is and how hard they are working to study Venus and uncover it's mysteries.
This shows how the author supports the idea that Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents by stating facts about Venus, stating how humans are curious about studying Venus and how well the author supported this idea. | 2 |
Luke became a Sea Cowboy because he can take care of the horses,young cows,and mules that where shipped overseas. So Luke and Don signed up. Luke turned 18 before arriving in greece. Luke Bumberger had 2-part time jobs. Luke's life changed soon arter he got out of high school graduation.
In August they recived orders to report to New Orleans. In August they arrived when the Pacific war eneded. In 1947 Luke made nine trips. Luke just noticed that he was on the cattle-boat trip. W.Wooster, headed for Greece-with a cargo of 335 horses.
It took about two weeks to cross the Atlantic Oceanfrom eastern coast of the United States and a mouth to get to china. They had to get fed and watered two to three times a day. Bales of hay and bags of oats had to be pulled up fromthe lower holds of the ship. Stalls had to be claened. Luke also found time to have fun on board,especially on return trips after the animals had been unloaded. Cowboys played baseball and volleyball games in the empty holds where animals had been housed. Table-tennis tournaments,rencing,boxing,reading,and games also helped pass the time.
But being a Seagoing Cowboy was much more than an advance for Luke Bomberger. It opened up the world to him. I'm grateful for the opportunity," he says. And that awareness stayed with him,leading his family to host a number of international students and exchange vistitor for many years. | 0 |
Driverless cars should not be a thing. Yea, it would probably be cool to have a car that just drives you around instead of yourself but that would be you just being lazy. Why have a driverless car if it can only do 80% percent of the job, for example: in the article "Driverless Cars are Coming", it sais "google has had cars that can drive independently under SPECIFIC conditions since 2009. Google cars arent 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 road work or accidents.'' So whats really the point of having a driverless car? There isnt one. Maybe a couple facts about it, but most people should really look into it instead of just being ready to get one. even though it might be safe, 25% of it is not and it could probably cost you alot money. | 1 |
There can be many reason why people had decided to stop using there cars and start doing more activities. First, cars waste money and gas and the gasonline burns and gases comes out and goes in the air. However, they pollution is destroying the air and leaving smog behind. Therefore, people should stop using there cars and think what should they do for the environment.
Using less motor vechicles are less important than the environment, the world we live in.
First, cars waste money and gas and the gasonline burns and gases comes out and goes in the air? We are wasting so much money on gasonline everyday and its ruining the air. Why because when the fuel burns, the gases comes out of the tanks and into the air and that's how we cause smog. We need air not chemicals to breathe and plants to help us breathe oxygen. We need sunlight so stay warm and have the plants and animals to eat and so we can stay health. What if you can you don't have to use the car for one month how would you feel about the air and the pollutionh without cars?
However, they pollution is destroying the air and leaving smog behind?
It's true that we are sometimes breathing in smog. It's disturbing that we have to breathe it in and out. We need to stop using cars and trying to figure out what we can do to protect the environment and the commiunty to help us. Many countries have smog and you can't be able to see the sun. Don't you want to end up like that place, and do want to be safe. Plus if we stop using cars and more into the environmentm we can connect to the people and other resources. Many people have a lot of stress when they are driving, what would you think if they got more connected to the world and having more social. They and even you can have a better life and having a good time socialing with others.
Therefore, people should stop using there cars and think what should they do for the environment.
Using less motor vechicles are less important than the environment, the world we live in. Many teenagers want to learn how to drive or wants to get there new car. But they don't notice other stuff going on in our world, they think they are more important than the world. But can you notice sometimes the most teens don't need cars like pther places because they don't need it and spend money on gas. Half the population had dropped of the percentage of teens driving. What can you do without cars and people who don't need it are better of having a life than people who spend on money on cars.
As a result, what can you do for the world without the cars and think about the air. Make a community without and motor vehicles and a better place for your have to live in. What would you have to do to stop using your cars and figure out a way to do transportation to a place you have to go. But had you know that in New York and France us there bikes to get to places. Because its a big place and not enough room to have cars to get to places. Plus its helps you stay fit and healthy. So think about the air and what can you do for the popluatin with people that have cars. | 2 |
I don't think driverless cars are really that important. It's interesting, and would be cool but not important. I believe a lot of people would buy them. The purpose of driving is supposed to be exciting for you, instead they're driving for you. All together they're not important, dangerous, could cause accidents, but could be interesting.
Driverless cars are not important, I believe that just driving regularly is better that the car doing it for you. There are still cars that people could drive just fine. I don't see why people would want their car to drive for them.
Driverless cars could cause accidents. I think if a careless teen would be driving it, they could think that car would be doing all the work. They would think that they don't need to focus. There are already problems with texting a driving, imagine if they thought they could text because the car is doing all the work. In the article it says that the car needs you to be alert at all times incase they come across work zones. I think that could cause accidents.
I believe that many people are careless drivers. People could get used to the idea of the car taking care of everything, in the article it says that the car can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves. Which could cause people to do things they could never do if they had to pay attention at all times. Someone could be paying attention to other things in the car instead of steering and cause an accident.
The thought of driverless cars is very interesting, I would be more accepting of them if I knew they were safe, and no one would get hurt. Someone who's been driving for a long time, I think would be more interested in it. New drivers who aren't used to driving would probably want to drive by themselves. I think the driverless car could be very useful to people who take trips that are far, and need to relax.
Overall, I think the driverless car isn't important, dangerous, could cause accidents, but could be interesting. I personally wouldn't want one, but others might be very interested. It could cause accidents to happen, especially if the driver is careless. It is an interesting invention though, the idea of having a car drive for you is cool. But I don't think it's worth the risk. | 2 |
The Facial Action Coding System would be very valuable in classrooms. This device would let teachers understand student feeling better. To which would let the teachers be able to switch up how they teach that student . This device also uses a very reliable computer program to calculate the face muscles. This would make it the most relatable to human facial muscles.
Finally, this device has many benefits to it such as, reading emotional expressions and even telling if there faking that expression.
This use of this technology would benefit teachers by letting them know how the students feel. "By weighting the different units, the software can even identify mixed emotions"(D'Alto).For example lets say a student is feeling fustrated on a test, so he might show he's happy so the teacher wont come question him. The teacher can use the FACS device and understand exactly how the student is feeling. Instead of him thinking that the student is happy he could look on the device and it would tell him exactly what he feels and what percent of all the emotions take up. Overall, this Facial Action Coding System would be very beneficial in the classroom.
Another way this technology is benefical would be the calculations of the muscles of your face. What this means is the device would " constructs a 3-D computer model of the face"(D'Alto). This model would show your face muscles and it would calculate how the are moved or know as "action unit". Then based on the movement of those muscles .The FACS device would list one of the" six basic emotions happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadeness"(D'Alto). Finally, the last step to FACS device would be to get the results on that perticular person emotions.
In conclusion, this Facial Action Coding System would be valuable to classrooms. This device seems to be very reliable and can be used in many ways to just reading emotions all the way to using in drama class to react an emotion more realistic. | 2 |
if i had to choose i would change to election vote cause it is more popular and it has less problems unlike the other cause when you do electoral college you have to do lots ofdifferent things that is not worth doing which is a disaster for some people and while other people are saying how good the electoral college is if its so good why do you so many issues with things that happen to people thats what i dont understand they dont let some people vote cause there age which is stupid they should let them vote thats the reason why ther areso many disputes in the world cause of the ignorance of some people and the only thing the people from electoral college is worried about iswinning instead of carring for the other people which is not right that is the reason so many outbreaks happen cause people start to not even give a crap about the people that is wanting to vote but the people is not worriedtwo cents about what anyone else thinks their just worried bout themselves which is stupid and they should have been done something about this before it get to much out of control which is leading to much more problems it needs to come to a end and pick a president who would actually give a care about the people of the united states instead them going around and talking about them in different ways that is not needed cause only a majority of people votes for him doesnt mean that he or she has to be a complete jerk to them and start talking bout them in bad ways that is how many fights start and when they start they dont ever stop talking bout it for a long period of time which pisses people off what if someone started talking bout you or your parents you would want to beat the crap out of them then there would be catastrophic failure which leadsto more and more drama which just makes things even worse nominees get happy that they won the vote and start getting all crazy and start saying things just to get people all ticked off and things that really didnt meanto happen happens to people that did not even do anything to hurt that person at all which is messed up cause they dont give no effort to even say they are sorry for what they did to that person the advocates that are in the position they say things that make arguements and other things that dont need to happen begin which doesnt make things any easier it just causes more drama that doesnt need to happen cause even more trouble that is not a good thing to have happen when that happens it just has bad things happening everywhere and it only makes things worse which leads to cause even more drama in peoples life and it doesnt seem fun getting out of all that drama that happened | 0 |
Dear state senator,
I belive that the people of this nation should be able to vote for who they want to be president directly. So, I belive that we should disgaurd the old Eletoral College and switch it with election by popular vote. The reason why i would like to change it is becuse the people of this country should be able to choose their president, not a canidate to choose for them. I understand that it may be esair to have a select number of people choose the president. Rather than going to each stae and couting each of the indvidual votes, but this country is ran by the people and their dicisons on how to move foward. Chosing the right man to put in office is the first part in moving in that direction.
The way that the Electoral vote is flawed is that the people don't get to directly choose thier president. The elected candiates could go angainst the will of the people and vote for whom ever they please. Another way that it is flawed is that if the celcted candiates tie, the right to vote gets handed down to the house of representatives. The people have no say in this and the repersntives can vote for whom ever they please. This is a very unfair procses that the people have to grow through to choose the leader of thier country.
This prosess may esair but it is undemocratic. The people should have the right to directly choose thier president. The winner-take- all method is the wrong way to obatin electoral votes. It should be counted on indivual votes so it can have a less of an impact. These are the reasons why electoral votwes are flawed and should be the people that choose thier president. | 2 |
Ever thought of a car that drives itself? Seems pretty crazy right? Its been shown in movies and televison and it seems pretty impossible. In reality, people are actually trying to make it happen, there has been proto types of cars that are mostly driveless and testing of many kinds. Whether it happens or not, theres a weighing question of is it a good idea? It is a bad idea, they should not make cars driveless because it cost a lot, may not even ever work, and its dangerous.
Money is a huge factor to this type of technology, can you imagine the cost of developing thousands and millions of cars that have such an advanced technology to be able to drive, brake, get to a destination all by itself? Its pretty expensive to even to make a proto type or test run these so called "Diverless Cars". If a car like such is created how would the world be changed? Not only would the car itself be expensive to create but theres more factors to just creating the cars, its how the cars themslef work. In the article, "Driverless Cars Are Coming" the author tells about some proto types or car similar to the "Driverless car" image. The authors gives an example about cars that uses sensors or radio signals that are telling the cars what to do. That means, the roads would have to give off certain signals that contribute to the car itself, the roads and lights would also have to have signals and sensors. It would cost tons of money to do things such as rebulid roads or lights so cars like these would properly worl.
The car that drives themself may never actually be a thing, there is so much to it. The cars may never truly be driveless, technology cannot do everything humans do. There is always going to be times an actual driver may need to come in. Things such as, traffic or crashes or roadwork and there is no way of telling if driverless cars may be able to adapt to that. Not only is adapting a problem but is our technology advanced enough to have driverless cars? We as a society are advanced in the technology area but is it advanced enough to develop cars that are able to know where to go or what to do just like humans are? Technology things do not think like humans, they don't think at all, they have to be programed a certain way and there is always surprises or certain situations that these cars would not be able to do it properly or safely.
Safety. This is quite the biggest concern with a product such as a driverless car. How can you insure that these cars are 100% safe? The cars technology may run into a problem later on that it, itself is not advanced enough to know exactly what to do so it may cause a person danger. The whole car is made of technology and we can not rely on it, things happens, technology may not always work. There has to be certain signals or things such as a battery life, or the technology may just fail altogether. If someone was to be in a driveless car and the system in the car or the technology were to crash was stops the car from doing the same? If the technology messes up and the car doesn't know when to stop it could cause a crash. Technology can never be completely relied on, until it can, there will always be safety issues or concerns and thats enough not to make something that could be very dangerous to someones life.
Driverless cars seem like a huge thing, people are trying to create this dream. People are taking steps to make cars that are so advanced they can drive themselves, but that shouldn't be a thing because of the cost, we are not that advanced in our lifetime, and its a patenually dangerous idea. | 4 |
NASA has always knowen it was a simple rock from the beggining. Listen im tired of hear all of this nonsense,and I am not the only one. All of the world allredy knows that it was a huge rock formation with human charatictics with shadows giving it eyes,an nose, and a mouth. It was just tooken at the right place at the right time. It was just another conspiracy theory waiting to erupt.
The only reason that NASA hasnt told the truth is because do now how much fame they are getting off of this right know. They knew it was a rock from the beggining. So even on April 5,1998 when they got caught red handed from a picture they took ten times sharper then the viking they kept the story going. They even went as far as saying that the aliens had errased it. LIke how far will they go with this thing. All of this because of a huge rock and a mistaken picture. So when people still wanted more and NASA did to they tried again hoping for a mirical. They still wanted more out of this rock. The only reason NASA didnt shut this down was because they need the fame and money. This picture ended up becoming a pop icon. It starred in a holloywood film,appeared in magizines,radio talk, and shows. Whey would they think of shuting it down. So they led people into thinking that this was some alien race marking. So when things were dying down they hoped for another miricle and sent anothe spaceship up into spacejust to show people it was just a rock again.
So out of this rock they ended up getting a couple years of fame and a very large fan base. To this day Nasa keeps the roomer going around. I think this picture was just and accident that turned into a trophie for NASA.They made sure to make the most of it but knew they couldnt hold it for long. They knew it was a perfect story to spark a conversation between thousands of people so theybrought it out just to do that. NASA used it for they're copminy but at the end it was just a rock,just like they found it. | 1 |
I am against it because, maybe people may be going through some things and are just depressed or sad but dont want anyone to know their personal business. I also feel like it is a violation of privacy. Everyone has bad moods and good moods and some days are not as good as the others, but i feel like it would be worse with people saying things like "hes sad" and then questioning that person, which can make the situation worse because maybe they may not want to talk about it. Also someone else telling you your emotion or how you feel may make you think you must feel that way for instance if they tell you your emotions but thats not right, you may try and correct yourself to fit the computers recognition. which is not right because i dont think it is fair that a computer should be able to tell you or say how you are feeling and what your emotions are. That would start conflict and attitude which will cause even more worse distracting emotions. | 1 |
Is Venus worth studying? Venus being Earth's alike twin is one of the most hottest plant on our solar system, yet not one you can visit for more than a few hours. Scientist have thought about sending machines to study and deeply reasearch more about the planet Venus, but Venus being too hot they overthink it about the temperature and how hot it is. Venus is a very hot planet that can melt anything that's metal and a human-being could not even survive on this planet.
Venus is known as Earth's "twin". People believe that venus was once just like earth, that it was covered with oceans before it got extremely hot and became like hell because of it's temperature. the the article, In paragraph 4, "Surface of rocky sediment, familiar features such as valley's mountains, and craters." There was or still are some land features on Venus, but as we continued to read the article it told us that if there were any land seeking on it's planet that it would be stroke by lightning. "Temperatures average over 800 degrees fahreneit, atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our planet." Venus being one of the most hottest planet on the soaler system and presenting impediments such as volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightening strikes. Overall, Venus is known as earth's alike "Twin". It is one of the hottest planets on the solar system, no human being could survie on it by it's high temperatures. Land can't be seeking or else it gets destroyed by lightning. Scientist do believe that it was once like earth, and had oceans.
Venus being too hot and such a risky planet to explore. Researchers have been overthinking and trying to invent technology that's able to resist Venus's temperature. "Researchers are working on innovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaningfully to our knowledge of Venus." NASA has thought about sending people to explore Venus on a jet airplane, that's able to stay high above ground suface. Reasearchers do know that if they risk and send people out to explore, it is going to be callenging to get samples of rocks, gas, or anything else from a distance."Electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface, having lasted for three weeks in such conditions." Venus with such high temperatures and metal not lasting long that can melt very quickly, they've been testing, trying to get machines made out of different material so it can last on Venus. In other words, Venus is too hot and exposing a phone, tablet, or any electronic to acid or heat can be melted tin and no machine is resistant to such an exaggerated heat. NASA have thought and been wanting to send people to explore Venus but the thought of it being too risky, dangerous is what they wonder.
In conclusion, Is Venus worth studying? No, It is a very hot planet, that's risky, challenging, and dangerous for humans to explore. Not even a machine can last on land. Reasearchers have tried and invented machines to try and get somewhere, it's hard for them to even get a smaple from a distance. Venus is a very hot planet that can melt anything and huam-beings couldn't even survive on this planet. | 3 |
I know this wasn't created by aliens in many ways. It is just a naturally created landform that looks like face. If it was created by aliens then NASA would benefit from discovering life on a different planet, so that shows that everyone in NASA is sad that we didn't find life. Landforms created from nature shouldn't be lied about just to get attention. That is why we don't tell other people a lie when it is just a landfrom like the Grand Canyon. Here are also reasons how I know it wasn't created by aliens.
Some rock formations on Earth are created by wind chipping off peices until one day the rocks are completely gone. We didn't have any control of the winds that created the rock formations, so that shows that nothing living created it. Around the face is other landforms that were created the same way the Face was made. The Face is the only one that people pay attention to becuase it looks like a face, but if you look at the entire picture you can see that other landforms are there that might not look like a face, but they show that landforms are created naturally there.
These examples show us that these landforms were not created by aliens, but by the weather that accurs there. That is why we shouldn't lie just to get attention and make everybody believe something that isn't real. This concludes that the Face was only created by weather like the landforms on Earth. | 1 |
Hello my name is Luke. I am goung to inform you about Seagoing Cowboys Program, why you should join, and more. It is great Program that helps many people each year. This has really helped me be aware of other countries and their needs.
You should join this program because you are helping many people and animals. When you join the Seagoing Cowboys you go on trips to help animals after there has been a war. You get to play games. It makes you become more aware of other people. You get to interesting places. I had a fun time helping people. I went on 9 trips more than anyone else. Although it took along time to get to places i had a great time.
In conclusion, these times have been the best times of my life. I get to help many people and animals. You get to feed animals and meet new people.
I also have learbned more about each county i have visited. | 1 |
In this story, scientists are wanting to explore Venus. The thing is, Venus is really hard to study due to its spot in our Solar System. There are many dangers that come with studying Venus. For starters, Venus is the second planet from our sun, which means the temperature on Venus can be very hot and mild. Venus may be simple to see from a vantage place on earth but it has been proven to be very challenging to examine more closely.
Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size. Some things may be easier to see observe on Venus because it is so much like Earth, wrong, due to the weather and history, Venus isnt a walk in the park. Many spacecrafts have been sent to Venus but since no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours, the missions remained unnamed. A spacecraft hasn't landed on Venus in more than three decades. Numerous factors help with the reputation of Venus, and that shows how challenging it really is to get more information than what we already have.
Venus has a very thick atmoshere of 97% including carbon dioxide blankets. What makes it even more challenging for us is that there are clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in the atmosphere of Venus. The conditions on Venus are known to be far more extreme than our conditions on eath. Venus can destroy a submarine and turn any metal into a liquid. Venus has the hottest surface temperature in our solar system even though it is not the closest planet to the sun. Beyond the high pressure and heat on Venus, it also has many valcano eruptions, powerful earthquakes, and pretty frequent lightning strikes.
Another issue we have is no machines last on Venus. No machine lasts long enough to contribute meaningful knowledge about Venus. Simplified electronis tend to not work for more than a few hours at a time before they burn or break, and some even last for up to three weeks but hardly collect any information. A project they are wanting to bring back is an old technology called mechanical computers. These devices played an important roll in World War Two. This device doesn't require any devices at all.
Venus is a very challenging planet to learn about. Many things stop us from learning about Venus but no one has given up hope yet. They are doing everything they can in there power to make it to Venus to learn more about it. Venus has made us face some pretty harsh challenges, including human curiosity. We are very interested in learning more about Venus and they are hoping that us being curious will get them more help to see what else Venus has in store. | 3 |
This story is about discovering mars. Witch is pretty exicting because this is a big planet and every planet we discove is a new chance to find other life than the earth because if we have more knoledge about what outer space than we can go to the planets and maybe use the for our selfes or if their are any plant we can use / grow them here on earth.
So about 25 years ago NASA'S Viking one space ship was circleing the planet taking photos for a posible landing ship viking 2 when it spotted the shadowy likness of a human face.
An strange head nearly 2 miles away. The face on Mars have scine become a popular icon. It has been talked about everywhere.
It was a bid hit on NASA's Alot of people wanted to see the Face On Mars. The Face On Mars has starred in a hollywood film along with magazines and other products that could cause talk about The Face On Mars. Scientist bealived that the faces wher Alien artifact.
This story was about how the Face on mars was regonized all over the world and scientists are still trying to figure out what this face was, was it an artifact or was it just a strange dent/ crator in the mars land. But even till this day the world may never figure out what this strage face was or where it may have came from . | 0 |
In today's society technology is becoming much more advanced. Pretty soon, people won't ever need to touch a steering wheel again. However, does this seem like a good idea? We people are prone to distraction and companies aren't even sure who would be at fault if an accident were to occur. Would one want to pay his own medical bills when someone else should've paid for it instead?
We people, being human, have the tendency to become very distracted, some more than others. The driverless car is 90% autonomous, meaning that 90% of the time it can drive on it's own. The other 10% is manual, meaning that people need to be in control of the car. During that 90%, people would become so distracted. The article states, "Some manufacturers hope to do that by bringing in-car entertainment and information systems that use heads-up displays. Such displays can be turned off instantly when the driver needs to take over--something not available to drivers trying to text with a cell phone." Just because there is entertainment does not mean that people would use it. Some would prefer to stay on their phone or take a good long nap. Warning signs in the car that tell people when to drive might also be ignored as well. If someone falls asleep and is a deep sleeper, he might not wake up to a vibrating chair or flashing lights. Someone too involved in his phone might also not realize that he is needed to take control of the car if his mind is too focused on his device. Sometimes people become too involved in their own little world, and this would not be good when they are needed to drive.
The question being considered right now is, "who would be at fault if the technology failed and someone was injured?". It could go both ways. If the driver wasn't paying attention, then he would be responible for his own injuries. If that person had been alert and paying attention and the car malfunctioned, then the manufacturer would be at fault. There is no way to know though if the driver is actually paying attention. Since there's no way to see, if a driver had been alert they could easily be accused of not paying attention because there is no way for anyone to know but the driver. He would be paying his medical bills instead of the manufacturer. It is not fair towards people if they are accused for an incicident, but it is not their fault. If too many accidents occurred, companies would start to get sued and so would people as well. It wouldn't be too great for someone to get sued for an accident if it is not even his fault.
Although there are flaws, there are also advancements being made to fix those flaws. Manufacturers are trying to install cameras in the cars to make sure people are paying attentinon and not just dozing off. Also, it's not like the car has to be on autopilot the whole time. People can choose when they want to drive most of the time. If they don't want to drive but are needed to then they have no choice. These are all true, but that doesn't change the fact that people could still be blamed for accidents that are caused by car malfunctions and not themselves. It also doesn't change out natural instincts to text while we are needed to drive or to answer a call or jam out to the radio. Even when the car needs us to drive, we are still going to reach for our phones when it buzzes or turn up the radio, both of these being huge distractions for us.
The technological advances being made do not change our natural human instincts of distraction, or the fact that we could be blamed for something that was not even our fault. The driverless car may seem like a cool new way of living, but that does not mean it's danger free or 100% guaranteed to work all the time. It still has its own flaws just as we do, and sometimes technology can't fix that. | 4 |
There has been a fuss about the Elector College. Many people get confused about how it works and if they're satifyied with the whole process. Show we "abolish" the Elector College? Should we keep it? Honestly we should keep it. We the peope have more then enough control on who is chosen for the president of the United States Of America. We don't really vote for the president but our vote impacts the decision.
Many citizens of the United States Of America think their vote doesnt matter, it does. Why? Well, first the government is runned by the people. Its very rare to not get the president that has the most popular votes, the last time when the president wasn't chosen was in 1888. It's less likely for the president with the most votes to lose the election. For example, Obama received 61.7 percent of the elector votes compared to only 51.3 percent of the popular votes cast for him and Romney. Plus, almost all states award elector votes on a winner-take-it-all basis.
Perhaps, there was no system. Would it be simpler? Yes it would but we have to also be fair, there is 538 electors and a majority of 270 elector votes is required to elect the president. When you are voting for the president ypu want to win,you are actually voting for your canidate's elector. How does the system work? First it's the process that has the selection of the electors , the meeting of the electors where they vote for the president and vice president , and last but not least the counting of electoral votes by congress. Obviously it is kind of confusing because it would be much simpler if the winner would be the one with the most popular votes.
Did you know that the Elector College avoids the problem of elections? They do due to how much pressure the candidte can go through. It can easily complicate the presidential process. For instance, Nixon in 1968 and Clinton in 1992 both had only a 43 percent plurality of the popular votes, while winning a majority in the Elector College (301 and 370 elector votes exactly). When avoiding the elections and campaigns , there a better chance of clear winner.
So there you have it,three main reason's why we should keep the Elector College. We have why the process is important and why we have it. How the process work's because it was confusing to many people , so it's defined and hopefully you'll like to stay and support the Elector College. Your vote does matter. | 3 |
The author says studying Venus is a worthly pursuit and to despite the dangers because you can learn a lot about the solar system and venus itself. There are tons of things that you can learn from studying Venus. There are also many dangers doing it also.
In paragraph four the author states that astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. The author also states that long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life just like Earth. The author states that because as we all know there is life on Earth because Earth is 3/4 of water. Today, Venus still has some features that are analogous to those on Earth. The planet has a surface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, moutains, and craters. The author stated that there could be a visit to Venus . The National Aerinautics and Space Administration has one particularly compelling idea for sending humans to study Venus. The author states that you should imagine a blimp-like vehicle hovering 30 or so miles above the roiling Venusian landscape . They are gonna stay off the ground because it has some unfriendly conditions. The author states that at thirty-plus miles above the surface, temperatures would still be toasty at around 170 degress Fahrenheit but the air pressure would be close to that of sea level. They aren't easy conditions, but survivable for humans
All those details prove that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. There are many prositive things about studing Venus that the author listed. He did list some negitve things about studing Venus but you have to despite those ideas. | 1 |
First of all studying venus isn't a bad idea wanting to explore the deepest point of venus can change history and life, we can figure out many secrets that venus has and what kind of life form could be on venus because in every planet their's always something that hasn't been discovered. Venus is a planet that will soon be explored NASA has been sending spacecrafts to land on venus but they still don't make it,
For three decades many factors contribute to venus reputation and has been a challenge for humans to study, even thoe 97 percent of carbon dioxide blankets venus and clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in venus atmosphere and a temperature of 800 degrees fahrenheit and atmospheric pressure that is 90 times greater than what we expirence on earth those conditions are way to extreme that humans don't encounter that on earth
Another reason why it should be studied more and have future plans that someday people from NASA will land is that because many astronomers believe that venus may have once been the most earth-like planet in our solar system and that venus was onced probably covered largely with oceans and could've been many forms of life in venus many many years ago.
Many scientist are looking for a way to get samples of rocks,gas,or anthing else that they can use to find out more about venus but they cannot do that. many researchers are working on innovations that will allow machines to last longer so they can get enough samples for them.
Overall i think that finding new ways to explore and studie venus is a great idea i think that will change history maybe in the future venus can become our second home if we find out more about it and venus will soon be an explored planet and hope that will continue with other planets. | 2 |
Driverless cars could possibly be the next big thing around the world. Google has had cars that could drive independently since 2009. Their cars have driven over millions of miles with no crashes, but, google cars may not be one hundred percent driverless.
Having driverless cars is something I would actually like to see. I understand that when doing a lot of things that haven't really been done beore comes with many negative but also positive results. These cars will not always be driverless but robably about eighty or ninety percent of the time they will be. In 2013, BMW announced the development of "Traffic Jam." The car can function at speeds up to 25 mph. This is good because people won't have to worry about the cars driving at dangerous speeds. The cars can steer, accelerate, and break themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when their help is needed. Some cars can alert the driver with vibrations through the seats which alerts the driver that the vehicle is in danger of backing into an object.
Tesla has projected a 2016 release for a car capable of driving on autopilot ninety percent of the time. In 2020 Mercedes Benz, Audi and other cars have planned to have cars that can drive themselves.
The cars we have now and days make drivers do all the work and sometimes the drivers manage to get lazy, but the driverless cars will make the driver become more attentive on the road. Manufactures are considering using cameras to make the driver have no choice but to focus on the road. These cameras will probably notice whether or not the driver is paying attention to the road and will have some type of voice or noise that makes the driver pay more attention.
I would like to see these cars driving around in the future. People will be surprised with how many positive results come out of this idea. But the question is who is left at fault if the technology fails and someone is injured, the driver or the manufacter? | 2 |
It is not value of ad pop ups from a computer to detect student or teachers emotion, it's not right plus i think it's a watse of time to try and collect every emotion of evryone who uses a computer, cause at some point in time the people will start to get angry about the whole emotions crap and maybe get rid of them, they may like at first but one day their just gonna get rid of it.
Like in the article it said "how can a computer recognize the subtle facial movements we humans use to express how we feel?" six emotions the computer has to track, "happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness and then associated each with characteristic movements of the facial muscles." A computer that can sence and track muscle movement and emotions, kinda werid and freaked out to me if i had this computer and i think most people around the world would stick to just regular computers or laptops and not buy this emotional computer ad poping up crap. I would think more than emotional computers, thinking more advanced or just regular old computers thats what i would do if i were creating computers.
I think we shouldn't nchange anything at all about computers if it's gonna lead to a riot or people rising up to the company because of the computers, "we want regular computers back not the stupid emotional ones anymore!" u know... i would do the same thing as well. | 1 |
First off I don't think there are a such thing as aliens so i don't think that would be the case. Im here to tell you guys and ladies that this is a natural landform built from rocks piled up and all around each other. If you think the aliens did it how could they have done it if it's sticking outside the ground instead of inside. As you see in the pictures when the years go by the cameras and pictures get better asthe face structure starts to disappear and it makes it look like a bunch of rocks. They don't know if they actually seen a face they said it was winter on that side when this picture was tooken. So there were clouds and just a lot of stuff covering the cameras when they took the picture. This is a natural landform from rocks and other stuff but i would see why you would think that. It is kind of weird to see other things like this on other planets that don't even have human life or something close to it for this to happen. You should have already known it wasn't a face when JPL web site said it wasn't and it was just a natural landform like all the other craters. | 1 |
The Elector College should be abolished because of it's many flaws that it has.
First and foremost, presidential elction is not about the people. In the article named, "The Indefensible Electoral college:Why even the best-laid defense of the system are wrong" it talks about how the people don't get to vote for the president. The article says,"Under the Electoral College system, voters vote not fot the president, but for a slate of eletors, who in turn elect the president." This is mostly unfair, the people should get to decide whether whom their president might be not some electoral chosen by the politacl party or precidency campaigns. This law deosnt follow the ways of the constitution even though it was established by the founding fathers. It's very absurd because, the consitution starts with, "We the people" and in this case the people so to speak, dont get to vote for their own president. There is no reason why electorals are the ones who's vote count on the election because they dont have the minor idea of what the people want. In addition to that, if the people vote for the candidate's electors, how do the people know that the electors are voting for the running candidate they won? Well they simply don't. Stated in Source 2 under "What's wrong with the electoral college" it talks about how electors vote for whom which ever candidate they want. The article says,"Can voters control whom their electors vote for? Not always. Do voters sometimes get confused about the electors and vote for the wrong candidate? sometimes." If the electors are the ones choosing who the next president is going to be, then there is no reason why the people are voting if their votes don't count. The people are not able to decide whom their next president is going to be. Moreover, who are these so called electors? Stated in source 2 under "What's wrong with the electoral college" it talks about whom the electors are. The article says " Back in 1960, segragationistsin the Louisiana legislature nearly succeede in replacing the Democratic electors with new electors who would oppose Jonh F. Kennedy. In the same vein,"faithless" electors have occasionally refused to vote for thier party"s candidate and cast a deciding vote for whomever they please..."Basically what they are saying hear is that the electoral are random people who actual vote counts instead of yours'. Does that sound correct to you? Normal people from around your class or any get actual count on their vote, what happened to, "All men are created equal". Congress is letting other people decide for you, nobody else but you knows what your decisons in society are. Not even electors ,A.K.A randon beings. As said before this goes against what our founding fathers would actually want that is why it should be abolished.
Secondly, the Electoral college has caused various problems in previous history before. In source 2 it talks about how congress made an error. The article says" Whaqt is a state sends two staes of electors to congress? It happened in Hawaii in 1960. Luckily, Vice president Richard Nixon, who was presiding over the Senate, Validated only his oppenet's electors, but he made sure to do so..." doesnt that seem a bit fishy to you. He validated the other candidates elector votes, why not his? Congress has been cheating us with this law. It has been controlling and deciding who maybe in power. Furthermore, in the same article it talks about how the electoral college system focuses on a winner take all system. The article says," Because of the winner take all system in each state, candidates do't spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning, focusing only on the tight races in the "swing" states..."you see how on fair this law is? It doesnt even acknowlege small states to vote not even the electors. There is nothing fair about this act and I demned for it to be abolisehd.
In conclusin the electoral college act is ufair and has caused for election to be a hassle. And only that but "We the people" and "All men are created equal" does not count in this law. so yeah, most devinetly it should be abolished. | 4 |
Have you ever thought about the future? As a day gose by we have to start think about what will today be in 10 years from now. i can picture my self getting into a car that has automatic opeing doors and the car driving it self. We are living in a society where new thing are being made every day, just like the new cool hoverbored.
There are many pros to the new invention people are coming out with. Several of the ones i have herd are about how they will make life a lot easier. For example look at the new hover bored, a flat surface that can move right left back forward yes this make life easier but it also effects us. You could be walking places that will give you good extercise.
When you take a look at car driving themselfs that is kinda scary though. just imagen what could happen if the car took a wrong turn and there was a big trailer coming that could be your last day alive. We see on televison and movies that have long been fascinted with cas that could drive themselves but that is all but in reality that is all fanticy made by a computer. this world has taken it a step to far on how we are just being here for nothing why dont we just have computer do everything. Because that is what it looks like.
In conclusion I feel that this is a very hard topic to arrgue about beuase yes I would like to make life easier but at the same time I want it to be safe. I feel like we should be take life nice and slow and more car driving on there own for a bit firther in the future. | 1 |
Driverless cars are the future for daily travel. Driverless cars have a great potential for the future, they have been on the rise of development and new and more productive ways are being introduce to make the cars. These cars are the future for travel because of their ability to copy the skill of human drivers, their potential for new ways of being made, and for the ability to let the driver take charge of the situation.
Driverless cars have been devoleped to be able to copy the ability of human drivers through multiple sensors and laser technology. In the article its stated "...far better response and control than a human driver could manage" the article is talking about the advancement in just the brakes of cars, with the technology already presented, cars that are able to copy the skills of humans and possibly even have more skill and control of the road than humans already do. Sensors along the car allow the car to view the streets and obstacules like a human does, and the addition for even more sensors just expanes the vision of a car, allowing the car to have more knowledge of the street and possible dangers that are ahead.
New technologies are always being manufactured and produced, as well as the advancement of driverless cars. Some cars that are in the market or in the road now even have the technology to warn the driver of any potential dangers, traffic, and many others. In the text it talks about how smart roads were a possiblity for the advancements of cars, that still may be possible with the advancements being made in sensors and radio wave technology. Smart streets and smart cars can work together to develop the future for everyday travel.
As advanced cars can become and how extraordinary then can be, humans with always be needed. Modern day cars now have the potential for being perfectly driverless, but still need the help of humans to help the car manuver itself through tricky areas. Smart cars now a days just don't the technology for the perfection of driverless driving, but they're still be to function without the need for a driver over must normal areas. Cars that aren't able to go ahead without the help of a human driver have the technology to warn or advice the driver for when to to be alert and ready to drive, as stated in the text "In 2013, BMW announced the development of Traffic Jam Assistant".
Driverless cars will greatly change the future, and everyday travel. The ideas and advancements in the car industry will make that possible. Driverless cars will be the step that takes us into the future of this world, by their ability and technology to be able to copy the skills of humans, as well as their potential for how they are constructed and made and the new technologies that are invented , and the option to let the driver actually take control of the car whenever need, these are all the advancements and ways that driverless cars will be the future of everyday travel. As the world progresses driverless car will be a daily part of life then. | 3 |
The author of "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" did a fair job at arguing their claim, that Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. The author used their thesis, counter-arguements, and rebutals to get across their point that Venus is a worthwhile investment to study. Some areas they exceeded and others they did not hit right on the ball.
The author throughout the essay did not convey a very well stated thesis. Typically, a writer of an arguementative essay would feature their thesis openly, so that the reader is able to see what side the author is pushing forward. However, this author did not do this. The first paragraph introduces the topic of Venus with an interesting hook, but does not give the reader their side. The reader needs a thesis, without one the reader is not going to be able to have their opinion on a topic swayed. The author's current attempt at a thesis statement , "While Venus is simple to see from the distant but safe vantage point of Earth, it has proved very challenging place to examine more closely," does not state what side they are on clearly. Their best declaration of the side they are on is in their very last paragraph. The author wrote, "Our travels on Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." This is a very strongly worded thesis, but would have been much better if placed in the starting paragraph. Their side on the topic was acknowledged, but not as well as it could have been if they had set up their thesis correctly.
Beyond the thesis, the author used many counter-arguements in their writing. This is one of their strong suits, acknowledging both sides of an arguement is one of the best ways to convey your opinion affectively, while still being able to keep opposing side of the arguement interested and have their minds open to change. The author is for the exploration of Venus, but consistently chooses to bring up the problems that doing so faces. The author writes about the difficulties about exploring Venus, because of the planet's extreme environment. They opposed their own side in paragraph three by saying, "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." This is an affective strategy, because people who may oppose exploration to Venus may say something similar to this. The author is arguing their own point to establish reliability and trust amongst with people who favor not exploring Venus. The author showing that they see the problems with exploring Venus shows that they are open minded and open to their mind being changed, and this will in turn have the reader do the same.
Furthermore, the author was able to affectively state rebutals and reinforce their own opinion with facts. From the example stated earlier, regaurding the extreme conditions in Venus, the author was able to provide a logical solution to the weather without using any opinions. The author wrote,"NASA's possible solution to the hostile conditions on the surface of Venus would allow sceintists to float above the fray." The author then goes onto describe NASA's plan in full depth, and going into fine detail about the floating contraption that would suspend the astronauts safely above the harsh atmosphere of Venus. They then state, "Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans." The author is displaying a solution for the conditions, and even the minor flaws it has. The author going into detail about the solution for the extreme conditions in Venus and even conceding a bit when saying, "Not easy conditions but survivable for humans," helps argue their point. They affectively refuted the counter-arguements by using factual evidence in their rebutal, and deemed themselves trustworthy by the opposing side by even conceding slightly on a few issues.
The author of "The Callenge of Exploring Venus" did a fair job when arguing that Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents. While the author did accurately present the dangers and solutions for the dangerous parts of exploring Venus, they failed to create a strong thesis. The author exceeded when giving factual information about the topic to help the reading get on their side of the arguement; do to them struggling to get across their position on if Venus exploration is worthwhile, some of the provided information they gave was not used to it's full potential when changing the reader's opinion. | 5 |
In the article "Making Mona Lisa Smile", the Facial Action Coding System is introduced. It is a new technology that helps computers identify most human emtions. This tehcnology could be of value for students. The Facial Action Coding System can be beneficially useful to read the emtions of students in a classroom to provide insight on how students feel about specific classes and how they react to challenging subjects, and to change the way classes are taught.
According to the author, in paragraph four, the Facial Action Coding System can identify various emotions. The software can even identify mixed emotions when people have an expressionless or neutral face. The FACS software has the proper anatomical information for the human body. It can easily identify what a person is feeling even if they have several emotions present at once. In paragraph six Dr. Huang states that a classroom computer with the FACS software could recognize what a student is feeling, whether they are bored or confused. If a computer can identifythe emotions of students in a classroom, then this can be used to make modifications to the lesson or maybe the whole class. For example, if a student is struggling in a certain subject and the computer were to identify the whole classroom as confused or bored then the teacher would have to make improvements to the lesson. This would benefit the students who are feeling lost or bored.
If the FACS software could identify the emotions of the student, then this can be used to find improvements for certain classes that students struggle in. In paragraph six, Dr. Huang says that most human communication can be nonverbal. If a student was in a difficult class and was to embarrassed to ask for help, the FACS software has the capacity to identify the precise muscle moevment for the expression of cofusion in that student. Paragraphs seven and eight of the passage describe the small muscle movements made to convey a true smile. The author then goes on to say that these muscles can be spotted to prove whether or not someone is displaying a sincere emotion. Paragraph nine also explains that making a certain facial expression can cause you to feel that certain emotion. The FACS software is advanced enough where it could idnetify if a student is truly confused or not and it can help find new ways to teach by determining the sincere emotion of every student.
The article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" introduces the Facial Action Coding System, FACS, that helps identify human emtions. This software can be beneficial in many wyas, such as in a classroom. The Facial Action Coding System can be used to read the emtions of students in a classroom to provide information on how students feel about certain classes and topics and challenges, and to provide on how classes can be taught differently. | 3 |
This article for me is kind of hard to believe. These people have never been up there to see this face on the red planet. Instead of sending a person up there to actually see it they send a machine to Mars to capture pictures of this face.
Scientist believe that this face is remains of alien structure but, do they have proof that aliens even exist? If they could get a picture of the face then why could they not get a picture of the aliens that were up there to die and have this face on face of Mars. This photo could just be a regular bump on the surface and the way the lighting is might make it look kind of like a face but, they have not yet to send anyone up there so they do not know for sure. If they really think that this is a face then they should send someone up there to capture a legit photo that is close up to prve that this face is really there. The face does not even look like a deformed creature it looks like a humans face and that is another thing that makes me not believe it. The scientist said that this face is a remain of an alien artifact but, if this is an alien than people might as well just start calling themselves aliens and aliens humans. If you look on the right side of the face you can not see anything but the shadow. This makes me wonder if it is just the lighting and makes me wonder if this bump looks like a face because of the lighting. Because if you think about it the scientist may have done that on purpose so people wouldn't say that they could not completely varify this thing but, really it looks like a bump. Also, if you look towards the bottom of the bump there is a ring around it and I do not think that scientist know exactly what aliens look like because they have never captured a photo of one, so how do they know that this is even an artifact of an alien.
These scientist probably have some notes taken on why they think this is an alien but, from the stuff that I thought about this looks more like a human than anything and they have no proof that they know what aliens look like. If they are so sure that this is a face of an alien they why did they not put a picture of an alien in the article. | 1 |
I think being a Seagoing
Cowboy seems like fun yeah, maybe you do have to do work but you can have fun while doing it. From
Lukes experiance
I would probably go and try it. So
Luke is kind of persuading me to do it so I am persuading you to do it now.
One reason I think that Seagoing Cowboys isn't just about the work is because while the animals are unloaded then you are returning home you get to play gameslike volleyball, baseball,fencing, boxing, and a lot of other older, cool games."But being a Seagoing Cowboy was much more than an adventure for Luke Bomberger."(paragraph 9). To Luke it was more than just alittle adventure with his friend it was something that opened up the world to him."It made me more aware of people of the other countries and their needs" And that awarenedd stayed with him, leading his family to host a number of international students and exchange visitors for many years."
To Luke it wasn't an adventure it was an new oppotunity for him that could be for you too. Everyone get new opportunitys everday. | 1 |
The Seagoing Cowboys program is a great idea. There are a lot of reasons you should join I will give you some reasons. This really should make you want to sign up right after you read it.
You are helping innocent people who servived any war, because it was left in ruins. Anyboby who joined got to go around the world for free to help people. If you have some free time you could even go sight-seeing. You could just see the happiness on an innocent child or adult to lighten your day up. If you like animals you could be around them all day long.
Luke once said "Besides helping people, I had the side benefit of seeing Europe and China. But seeing Acroplis in Greece was special," he aslo said . " So was taking gondola ride in Venice, Italy, a city with streets of water." Luke got toured an excavated castle in Crete and marveled at the Panama Canal while he was on his way to China.
If you go it's not like your the only person on the boat with a whole lot of animals. You can even have some of your friends sign up with you and that is even better. Just think of it like your on a boat with a lot of every people getting ready to help people. Every one else on the boat can become your friends so it's not just you and some strangers it's you a whole lot of your friends.
In conclusion, I think anyboby who could should be a Seagoing Cowboy. You will always make one more person in the world happy. You get to go sight-seeing in your free time. You will stories to tell your friends and family. | 2 |
"The Challenge of Exploring Venus," is an article about trying to explore Venus and the obstacles that need to be overcome. It starts first by telling the reader some information about Venus, such as that Venus is similar to Earth in density and size (paragraph 2). Then goes on to say a few challenges like the earthquakes and temperature. However, I don't think the author supports the idea of studying Venus though it is dangerous.
First, the author doesn't give any information on what we could get out of studying Venus. In paragraph 4 in the last sentence the article speaks as if it will later talk of the productiveness of the mission, however the author says in paragraph 8,"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 intimidation endeavors." The quote doesn't say any physical reward that could help anybody. Knowledge is pointless if it cannot be used, which the knowledge from or of Venus is pointless becuase it can't be used.
The author also speaks of the challenges but doesn't solve them well. Firstly, the challenges they spoke of include a mostly carbon dioxide atmosphere, sulfuric acid in the atmosphere, an 800 degree surface, atmospheric pressure is 90 times stronger than Earth's (The author says it's enough to crush a submarine.), liquefy many metals, erupting volcanoes, earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes.
The first solution the author speaks of is from NASA and is a blimp-like vehicle as he put it, and would be about 30 miles above the surface to escape the ground conditions. The issue is it's still pretty hot at 170 degrees Fahrenheit and still doesn't have access to new information due to light not being able to go through the atmosphere. The next solution was eletronics made from silicon carbide that have done well in similutions of Venus's surface, however it has only been done with simple electronics, which they probably need bulkier electronics to be useful to gather information and send it from Venus's surface. Then the last idea of a solution was a mechanical computer, which is a machine doing the calculations through gears and levers (paragraph 7). The proble with using the machine is since there is no electronics, how will they recieve information from it?
Due to the lack of quality of solutions and the little explanation of reward for studying Venus the author doesn't support the idea that studying Venus is worth it though the dangers. The only reward being the gaining of knowledge is pointless if we can't apply that knowledge, and conditions on Earth are definetly not as bad as Venus. Lastly, the solutions don't work well enough to be useful. Such as the blimp, it's useless to get close and not gather any information from the planet. Therefore, the author has little support that is beneficial in supporting the pursuit of studying Venus. | 4 |
"Venus, sometimes called the "Evening Star," is one of the brightest points of light in our sky." The planet Venus have caught scientists attention for years. Venus which is the 2nd planet closest to the sun is also known as Earth's Twin. Venus however has misleaded missions that were hosted my NASA because of it's hostile and arid environment.
No one has ever been to Venus but machines have. Machines have prooved that Venus is incapable of taking people into it's atmosphere. Machines on Venus are tend to fail in the first couple of hours after landing. Venus not only has a bad side but it has a good side to. Since the discovery of Venus scientists have been wondering of how to get some samples that Venus has to offer such as rocks.
Venus has frequented in it's own dangerous atmosphere. In fact Venus average temperature is 800 degrees fahrenheit and the atmospheric pressure is that of 90 times greater than on Earth.
An environment such as that is of no chance of having humans in it.
"If our sister planet is so inhospitable why are scientists even discussing further visits to it's surface." People are practically incapable of going to Venus because of such a harsh environment. Scientists are only limited to just having drones stay above the plante to overlook it and recieving data about the landscape of Venus. At times though since scientists are intrugied about the existence of such a planet they will probably never stop studying it until we develop a technology that can withstand the atmosphere of Venus.
NASA at the moment, is currently trying to figure out how to get a drone or a person on Venus without causing the drone or person harm. NASA has developed silicon carbide to withstand Venus surface. The silicon carbide can withstand 3 weeks of it and after that it is destroyed. Another project that proofes that Venus can destroy anything in a short amount of time is the mechanical computer. Mechanical computer's stretches back to the 1800s and that they were later used in the 1940's during World War ll. "The thought of computer's existing in those days might sound shocking, but these devices make calculations by using gears and levers and do not require electronics at all" Older computers can actually withstand Venus climate than Brand new computers. Technologies from today can barely last 2 minutes due to the fact that they are delecate and made out of tin. "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 euqually intimidating endeavors." This prooves that no one is likely to stop studying Venus until we have collected enough samples. Gathered enough Data sheets and test out more technological appliances that can withstand Venus atmosphere for long periods of time. | 2 |

Dear State Senator,
Changing to election by popular vote for the president of the United States is more beneficial to the people than an Electoral College. The Electoral College is such a hassle and a process. It's outdated. And it's even irrational. It's not precise to what the people want. The popular vote directly represents who the people want. "-over 60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now." (Source 2).
The Electoral College is outdated. The founding fathers established it in the Constitution. Back then that was relevant because there weren't as many people in the United States as there are now, which means there are more voters today. In Source 3 it says that the Electoral College is widely regarded as an anachronism. It's not even a democratic method in modern sense...
The people trust the elector's to vote for their nominee. And that trust can even be broken, so they're not 100% reliable. "-state laws vary on how the electors are selected and what their responsibilties are...." (Source 1). There's a chance that your vote might not even count. The Electoral College method may turn off voters for a candidate who has no hope of carrying their state. So even if that candidate got a lot of votes in one state the Electoral College can still eliminate that candidate regardless of the people's votes. "Most states have a 'winner-take-all' system that awards all electors to the winning presidential candidate." (Source 1). The winner-take-all system is unfair because candidates don't spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning, so they focus only on the tight races in the "swing" states. Which makes smaller states feel so irrelevant. They know their vote will have no effect because they have less incentive to pay attention to the campaign.
Plus the Electoral College is such an inconventient thing. It is a process that consists of the selection of electors, the meeting of electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress. And a majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the President. Why do that when people can just have an overall majority vote on the President? Voters can even expect another close election in which the popular vote winner could lose the presidency. Voters don't even vote for the president, their votes are for the slate of electors, who then elect the president. There could even be confusion that the voters vote for the wrong candidate because they are confused about the electors.
Some people may not like the popular vote for the election of the president because they're afraid of a tie. But in the Electoral College if there was a tie it would lead into a whole new process with the House of Representatives. Most worry about a tie in the electoral votes. The House of Representatives hardly refelects the will of the people.
By changing to the election of popular vote for the president it is way more beneficial to the people because it is a direct way of them having a say in the election. They choose. They don't have to worry about a trust being broken. It's straight forward to the point. The Electoral College is unfair, not 100% trustworthy, and outdated. Take time to think about converting to the popular vote election.
Sincerely,
PROPER_NAME | 4 |
Our Earth is having a huge change by contamination, gloval warm,etc. Scientists are thinking further by searching life in other planets, this project wolud be a great idea, but this take a lt of time of investigations and stuff like that.
The author supports the idea that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents, because we can have another planet in where in which we can stand and life there, astronomers are facinated by venus, according to the paragraph 4 it says " It may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system... Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth", we can conclude that they were talking about finding space to stay there.
The reasons why we junt can go there and set
a new planet is, because of the conditions right there. In paragraph 3 the autor states one of the most significant reasons, it says "Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in our solar system, even though Mercury is closer to our sun... Venusian geology and weather present additional impediments like erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface", this the dangerous problem in this project. The planet's surface temperatures average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than
what experience on our own planet.
Scientists seeking to conduct a thorough mission to understand Venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risk. According to paragraph 6 it says " Many researches are working on innovations that would allow our machines to last long enough to contribute meaninfully to our knoledge of Venus" this paragraph let us know that they are working to reach there and looking to survive more time.
Well, this project can change the entire world and our lifes, because if there are life, we must hacve the opportunity to be there or people who want to be in Venus could be. We need more time to improve our experiments and this could be a grat and amazing change. | 2 |
Dear State Senator
Should the Electoral College be kept in favor? The electoral college does avoid the problem of elections. Well on the other hand, Richard Nixon,Jimmy Carter, and Bob Dole agreed to abolish the elctoral college and change to election by popular vote for the president of the U.S.It is unfair to the voters because the electors elect the president. Also, not only are the voters voting for electors,they are voting for the canidate's electors when they think they're voting for the canidate. Choosing a president should be elected by the popular vote of people not electors.
To start with,the president of the United States should be elected by the popular vote of the people. The president is there to guide and lead the people. The citizens of the U.S should have the right to vote for who they think should be president. For instance,some residents have a feeling that their votes don't count.
To add,it is unfair to the voters because the elctors elect the the president. Eventhough the electors represent your state,they don't let the people choos who they desire for president. When voting for president, it shouldn't be all about the electors. The Electoral College even has the possibility of turning voters away that voted for a canidate that has no hope for supporting their state.
Further more,the electoral college does avoid problems. Meaning,a canidate cannot receives a certain amount of the votes cast. For instance, when a canidate has more votes than other canidates while not receiving a clear majority oof votes. Also in big states "the Electoral College rebuild some of the weight in the political balance that large states lose by virtue of the mal-apportionment of the senat decreed in the constitution."[Richard Posner {21}] | 2 |
The author presents their own opinion on why we should investigate Venus for human civilization. In each paragraph that the author writes, they explain in detail the pros and cons about the study of Venus. Using the knowledge that they have of the planet, many of the ideas that they present give the idea that they are determined to give us the reason to agree with him.
The first idea that they auther states is that Earth, Venus, and Mars are all very close in terms of density and size, and is very close in orbit as well. This leads to Earth sending spacecrafts to land on Venus to gain research on the other planet, but each time, the spacecraft only has limited time to gain research because of the harsh conditions. This gives the author a way of explaining the details of Venus in a descriptive way. Venus has an atmosphere of 97 percent carbon dioxide, clouds with highly corrosive sulfuric acid, the average temperature is over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and the pressure is 90 times greater than Earth.
Even with the highly hostile environment, the author explains why astronomers are still trying to visit the planet. The author explains how Venus may have been like Earth in terms of nature. Their detailing explains how Venus was possibly covered largely with oceans and had the same ability as Earth by being able to support forms of life. The author also states that when Venus is close to Earth's orbit, astronauts can easily fly to it's surface and land.
Throughout the essay, the author explains the difficulties and how we can get past inhabiting Venus. He describes in many ways how landing on the planet can be beneficial for research and living conditions. | 2 |
In life there will be things that we question ourselves if soemthing is worth getting , studying etc. The author of "The Challenge Venus" makes his point that studying the planet Venus is very important even though it can be dangerous.
In this text the author mestioned thst striving to meet this challenge would bring value not only because of the insight but to gain about this planet.The author also talked about how we should not be scared to travel more out there because we should be happy that we are expanding to meet the doubts that many people have.
The author does say how going to go investigate this planet would not be easy at all because there would be things that you could not see clearly. I think the author made it very understanding on how he put the goods and bads about this challenge . I think he makes a good point where he states that its good to go find out about new things even though it could be dangerous.
The author states the reason about going out and studying the planet Venus because since the past many people have even question themselves about it being a plante or not. I think that the good thing that the author did was to put the mission and the things that they we be studying .
I think that the author's claim is well said and explained .I think that this helped me get a better understanding in why scienctists want to show people thatv Venus is planet . I think that most of the information was wells staited anf went with the opinions and explanation. | 2 |
I am against the development of the driverless cars. Studies have shown that the safest cars have alert drivers, also that driverless cars still need a driver, and the car could watch you as you watch the road.
These cars are not safe without humans driving. "In this way, the in-car system is actually a safety feature, and is a big concern." "This necessitates the car being ready to quickly get the driver's attention whenever a problem occurs." These cars are cannot do what we can do. Its not safe for you to not be driving and for the car to try to notify you if it needs help. A driverless car should not need help.
What is the point of driverless cars that cannot complete actions by themselves? "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." How can they be so called driverless, when they cannot complete basic actions by themselves?
Would you want someone watching you in your own car, shouldn't that be private? "Manufacturers are also considering using cameras to watch that drivers are remaining focused on the road. While the driver watches the road, the car watches the driver," this should not be necessary considering the car is considered driverless.
With all the evidence shown to you in the story you should know that driverless cars are unsafe without us, they cannot do basic driving actions without us and it watches us. I do not think that driverless cars should be developed and released to the public, I think humans have been doing a fine job driving themselves. | 3 |
Could the new technology called "Facial Action Coding System" enable computers to indentify human emotions? Yes, the new techonology could enable the computers ability to detect a haumans emotions to help in the school enviroment.
The professors Thomas Huang and nicu Sebe who are experts at developing better ways for humans and computers to communiacte are trying to find that a 3-D computer contructs how we feel. To help the professors Huang relies on a psychologist
Dr. Paul Eckman creates the system. Emotions that could be detected are the six basic emotions that are associated with each characteristic of movements in the facial muscles are happyiness,anger, surprise,disgust,fear, and sadness. All those emotions can make you have you face a certain way. For example when you are really surprised your mouth could drop wide open and your eyebrows could raise. With the new technology using
"video imagery" tracks the movement of a real or painted face by looking at the different units indentifying mixed emotions. By helping identify Huang observes that da Vinci studied human anatomy to help them paint facial muscles to clearly state specific emotions. on the computer it stores similar anatomical info as a code (Da Vinci Code). If you were at school and so seem to be bored, confused, or excited and the computers webcam looking at you and it changes what you are doing, or it helps you all by the look on your face. That could help students get engaged into theri school work. For that to work the new technology Huang states that " Most human communication is nonverbal, including emotional communication, So computers need to understand that, to." if the computer undersatnds how you feel without taling to it, it could help a lot on how student feel about their assignments.
In conclusion, new technology could have a positive feedback on how student perform on there school work. The professors and the psychologist could be making a great new technology to help the performance of students. Allowing a computer to have "Facial Action Cosing System" could help teachers and students out at school. | 2 |
Participating in the seagoing program was the best thing that ever happened to me. Even if it does't seem that interesting, you should try it. I know, some people don't like do get out much but this is better than anything you can do inside.
It is a very good experiance to go seagoing. You get to see a lot of different places and meet different people with different life styles. Sometimes it is weird hearing them talk, but sometimes it can be funny. The people also ask about our country. They wonder about the people, food, and animals that we have. They also wonder what our houses look like.
I think you should go seagoing because it's like nothing else. Traviling the sea, and seeing the water as the sun sets. It's like nothing else. I also love the sound of the ocean. It calms me when I miss home. But sometimes, the ship feels like home.
I very much wish so that you will go seagoing, because it's the best thing you will ever do. If it doesn't interest you thats ok. There are millions of other things to do. Maybe it's just not for you. But for me, it's just right. | 1 |
Have u seen aliens before well neither have I, thats why i think the face is a natural landform. Just like the earth have plates so does mars and I would think those plates move just like the earths plates move. Thats called an earthquake and earthquakes can make landforms.
The reason I came up with for the reason it looks like a face is when mars plates move and the earthquake happened, some of the ground raised higher than others. I also have other reasons a meitorite might have hit mars and and when the meitorite hit little bits of rocks fell in the dirt to make that face shape.
These are some little guesses I have about the reason mars has that face shape on its planet. I say this because I have never seen a aliens before except when I was watching tv or a movie. So thats why I think it is a nautral landform. | 0 |
With some thought I really like the idea of ths FACS. Not only can it train us to know someones emotions but it can make lessons at school more intersting. If I am reading an essay about something that I do not like, obviously I will not attain as much knowledge as I should. The computer that reads my facial expressions and designs a whole new lesson per say, is the one I want.
I can see this program coming in play for a lot of applications. We could get more kids to enjoy school.
In the first parapgraph the author talks about how this program can read and understand someones emotions. They used a painting that dates back centries ago, and still can see exactly the emotion of Mona Lisa. If this program can do this to a painting, imagine what it could do in the daily life of most people! Just think about how much of us use technology. We dont always see what we want to see on social media and what not when it comes to adds. This program can read how you feel about that add and change the add the next time. Thats amazing.
In paragraph 3 the author explains kinda how it works. The only problem I could see come about is security. I mean i wouldnt want some program judging my facial expressions 24/7. So there would have to be some type of agreement and some rules. Also I would want what the programs reads about my emotions to only be shared with me and not be accsessed by others. Its a personal thing.
I was wondering about how the program could read mixed or multiple emotions. Paragraph four goes into detail about this. The author writes "by weighting the different units, the software can even identify mixed emotions." and " Each expression is compared against a neutral face (showing no emotion)." So I would think this software is decently accurate.
Every day at school us students are forced to read and comprehend stuff that we have no say in. It has always been like that. To me I would think if a student is enjoying what He or She is learning they will learn and attain more knowledge. That is where this software comes in. Looking around at fellow classmates, I could almost guarentee that I will not find anyone smiling. Well maybe I could but I can promise you they are not doing school work.
So again I am for sure all for this software. When you stop and think about all the applications this could be used for, it is amazing. Not only that but look at how this could change education. This software can help truly tell someone how they are conveying themselves in public. You may think you look and seem hapy, when to everyone else you look like a sad puppy. Again this is a great software and would do some great things for a lot of people. | 3 |
Have you ever wondered what life on another planet would be like? Have you ever wanted to go to a diffrent planet? Have you ever thought about venus being like earth? Venus is alot like earth or it was a few years ago. Venus has water on it and if theres water there also could be life. Any spacecraft we have sent up to it hasnt last very long only a few hours so really dont know whats up there. NASA is creating insane technology.
First, venus is alot like how earth was at first alot of water and rocky but no trees or nature at the moment. We know for sure there is water and rocky mountains. It is also pretty hot there since its the secound planet from the sun. so life could be possible on that planet. Venus is also almost the same size as earth so they have alot of things in common.
Second, NASA has sent alot of spacecrafts up there to explore more and to find out more about the planet and to see if it is safe to land on the planet. All the spacecrafts only last for about a few hours and some dont even make it. Some just dont work after they land. That is why NASA has not landed up there yet. Its because they dont know all the dangers that could be up there. So for inorder for them to land up there they would need more information about the planet.
Third , NASA is making technology that is insane and could last in really bad conditions. They have made some of these drones with cameras just for venus. They have tested these drones in really bad condidtions just like venus. Those drones have lasted for full three weeks without any problems. So now they would probably send those to venus to explore the planet and see whats going up there. They would learn more about the planet before they land there themselfs.
Finally, venus is alot like earth because they have almost the same size and both have water and rocky mountains. NASA has sent alot of spacecraft to venus which isnt lasting more than a few hours. NASA is now making insane drones which would last about three weeks at Venus. So they would defintly find out if there is any danger up there. If not they would prbably land there and explore the planet The Future is here. | 1 |
Although numerous amounts of people want to banish the Electoral College, there are more rights than wrongs about it. The Electoral College is in the Constitution for an enormous reason; it is a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and popular vote of qualified citizens. This process allows for the people of the nation to have a say and for the elected people of each state to speak even louder for their state. The Electoral College is despised, yet it is the smartest way on how to elect the President.
The Electoral College requires for a president to have trans-regional appeal. For example, Romney was a solid favorite in the South, but he cannot win with only the votes from the South because no region has enough electoral votes to elect a president. While Romney did not have to campaign much for the South, he had to campaign very heavily in the North to increase his chances of election in those states. This is an amazing result because the people want a president that is liked throughout the nation, so while he is president he can be a hugely successful one. Canidates mainly focus on swing states, and dont have a lot of time for states they know they are going to win or lose; however, voters in swing states are more likely to pay close attention to the campaign knowing they are the ones to decide the election. These voters in swing states are averagely the most thoughtful voters, and the most thoughtful voters should be the ones to decide the election.
Furthermore, the Electoral College should be kept because it almost always goes in favor of the people. Even though in the 2000 election Al Gore got the popular vote but George W. Busch won the electoral votes, that has not happened since 1888! The party selects a slate of electors trusted to vote for the party's nominee and that trust is rarely betrayed. Many people want to change the election for the President to popular vote, but it would be more likely to have a dispute over the popular vote than in the elctoral college. Also, there could be a tie in the nationwide electoral vote because the total number of votes is an even number, but it is tremendously unlikely given that there has never been a tie. Also, the Electoral College avoids the problem of elections in which no canidate receives a majority of the voter's cast.
The Electoral College can be argued to repel potential voters for a canidate who has no hope of carrying their state, for example, republicans in California; on the other hand, every voter's vote plays a big part to their state's electoral vote. Voters in presidential elections are people who want to express a political preference rather than people who think that a single vote may decide an election. The Electoral College has worked for more than a century and will keep on working if the people of the nation agree to work with it. | 3 |
I think that the development of driverless cars should be stopped. If the development of these cars are continued, they will cause many accidents.The development of driverless cars will also open millions of lawsuits aimed at the manufacturers and the customers, by injured victims. This will hurt the economy as a result and lead to violence, and even death. The development of driverless cars should be stopped because it is illegal in most states, it will lead to more accidents, and becuase many people will have to pay fees due to liability issues.
Driverless car development should be stopped most importantly because it is illegal in most states. If it is illegal in most states it is because they are not one hundred percent safe, or it is something that should not be done. If it is illegal in more than half of the states, then it should be illegal in every state. Have you ever wondered why it is illegal in most states?
The use of driverless cars also will lead to many accidents. Most drivers will not pay attention to the road if the car is driving for them, so it should be looked upon the same as if an intoxicated person is driving the car. A person in a driverless car not looking at the road will think they are safe until they look down and the car turns into a construction zone and the car requires the driver to quickly take the wheel. Just as a person under the influence would think they were safe to drive home, both drivers made bad decisions. The intoxicated driver's mistake is driving intoxicated. The driverless car user made the mistake of buying a driverless car!
Finally the last reason that the development of driverless cars should be stopped is because many people may not have insurance policies on their cars if the owner or the owner's car is responsible for the accident. Many people may have to pay large fees to victims because of a mistake that their driverless car made. The worst part is, nobody will care if it was the cars fault because that owner should not have bought the cars in the first place.
Driverless cars pose many threats to families and citizens everywhere. You can never fully trust a machine that is automated to do a job. The safest way to use a car is to drive it your self.
As the text states, 'Presently, traffic laws are written with the assumption that the only safe car has a human driver in control at all times.'
The development of driverless cars should be stopped because it is illegal in most states, it will lead to more accidents, and becuase many people will have to pay fees due to liability issues. | 3 |
Recently, a machine was created with the ability to calculate how a person is feeling based on facil structures. Scientists around the world are prasing this technology. I believe that even though this technology is impressive, it is completely unneccecery because of one major thing. The fundemental flaw of this system is the fact that it is a machine in the first place.
Machines are purely artifical beings that cannot feel nor comprehend human emotions on their own. As a result, their knowledge of emotions is only as good as their programmer's preception. In addition, the way this system detects emotions means that it can easily be cheated. A person could very easily fool the system into thinking they are happy by pulling a fake smile. Lastly, this system can only sense emotions based on appearences when about half of what determines how a person is feeling is based on their thoughts.
In conclusion, this system, while good, is completely broken because of how it functions. The only way a system like this could ever function effectively is if it could literally read minds. Emotions are complex things that cannot be decipered through simple algorythems. In the end, this system is only good for judgeing books by their covers. | 2 |
I am against the development of this car. A few things that I don`t like about it is that, It would cost alot of money, It may cause more wrecks then usual, and the fact it would make us even more lazy when we don`t drive.
First reason why I am against the development of this car is because of money. Some places there may not be enough money or room to even consider doing this project. Also, some people won`t do it because they want to drive, or feel comfortable driving their own car.
Second, it may cause many wrecks. The car itself may be fit and ready, but it may cause wrecks because of weather conditions or the car itself can`t control itself. I also believe people wouldn`t trust something like this. Yes, I have to admit that this car is cool, but many people will not agree to do this.
Third, it would make us even more lazy without walking or driving ourselves places. I think we should stay with driving ourselves for now, until they are 100% sure they`re ready for this and have enough money for it. | 2 |
In the passage Making Mona Lisa Smile they talk about a new technology called Facs. This stands for Facial Action Coding System. I am for this technology because it would be pretty cool to see other peoples facial expressions with this new techonology.
Fore example, if we used this on other studants in the class you could tell what expression is on there face even if the just look like they are happy. Secondly, it would be helpful because if someone is having a rough day but is not showning it with there facial expression you could use this device and talk to them and make them feel better. Lastly, it could be helpful because the kids would get to experience something cool that they have never seen before.
Secondly, the groupe of studants could use it for a project to have fun and use it on the studants that are in there groupe. On the other hand, studants could do different facial expressions to see what kind of facial expression comes out like if they are happy, sad, mad, or neutral. Another positive reason is that your home PC is not able to do anything like this so it is a new experience for everyone. Lastly, I think that the studants from all ages would like to do this because nobody has ever experienced this before.
Lastly, I think that this would be fun to use because it would be a great experience. Fore example, you could use it on your friends or they could possibly use it on you. Secondly, you could try different faces to see what kind of facial expressions you can receive. Lastly you could use it to see if somene is mad or you could use it on famous pantings to see what the picture givs back in facial expressions.
In conclusion this new techonology called Facial Action Coding System (FACS) could be used in every day life. Secondly, you could use it around your town or city and be able to gelp someone out if they are feeling down. Lastly i think this would be good techonology to use in every day life because you could help a lot of people in need with just one face scan. All in all, this techonology could get even more advanced and will probably be abled to detect more than just facial expressiosn. | 2 |
Venus is worthy to pursuit despite the dangers it presents.
Venus is refered as the to the "Evening Star. The nickanme is misleading since Venus is really a plant in our solar system, Venus is the second planet from our Sun."Astronomers are fascinated by venus because it may have beem the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. Venus is often referred as Earth's twin. Long ago, Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth." Venus seems to be a fairly interesting planet to look into when put into the consideration that it was earth like with its rocky sediment surface, valleys, mountains and craters.
"Solar power would be plentiful and radiation would not exceed Earth levels. Not easy conditions, but sirvivable for humans." If the people on Earth were in a end of the World crisis colonizing Venus would not be bad idea. Since the evidence of past life on Venus is right under the noses of the people of Earth it would be tough but not impossible.
Although the risks for exploring will be tough the real challenge will be to land on venus."Peering at Venus from a ship orbiting or hovering safely far above the planet can provide only limited insight on ground conditions. Venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risks." NASA is working on studying some appoarchs on how to get to venus. "For example, some simplified electronics made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulation the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted for three weeks in such conditions. Just imagine exposing a cell phone or tablet to acid or heat capable of melting tin. By comparison, systems that use mechanical parts can be made more resistant to pressure, heat, and other forces." Developing new technology is coming soon and as more time passes the more advanced it going to become and the goal to reach Venu's surface grows closer than ever before.
In conclusion aiming for landing of Venus is worth it, because of the invidence given on the planet. But there is also this hidden curiosity about Venus that can be off putting. Just because Earth may not have the technology right now doesn't mean humans should give up on the thought of exploring Venus. Life, new technology, and new discovery's are waiting on Venus so it is worth all the trouble for one little planet bigger than Earth. It could the people of Earth's future home if something happened with a huge effect on Earth all to together their would be a back plan. | 2 |
How do you feel about the electoral college? It's really useless if you ask me. Where not even voting for the president "but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president." Just think about what i said and try to make sense of it.
Electoral collage is very useless why do i say this you may ask. Well like source 2 says and gives you a great example "if you lived in Texas, for instance, and wanted to vote for John Kerry, you'd vote a slate of 34 Democratic electors pledge to Kerry. On the off-chance that those electors won the statewide election, they would go to Congress and Kerry would get 34 electoral votes." A good question you might be asking yourself is, that who are the electors? Well they can be anyone not holding public office states source 2. Another problem is that the popular vote winner could lose the presidency. All you can do is just prey for the best.
Another good reason on why i feel very negative towards electoral college is that "Consider that state legislatures are technically responsible for picking electors, and that those electors could always defy the will of the people" states source 2. So you are basically voting for someong to vote for who you want to vote for and they might not even defy your will. The electoral collage is just not fair to voters. "Because of the winner-take-all system in each state, candidates dont spend time in sates they know they have no chance of winning, focusing only on the tight races in the swing states.
Over all "electoral college is unfair, outdated, and irrational". They are completly right think about you dont wanna give the wrong person all the powers the president has. | 2 |
Americans have rights, I understand that, but many americans do not realize who they are putting their trust and votes into to. They may think that "Oh if I vote for this President he will automatically be chosen", but no that is not always what happens through the process for choosing the future President of the United States. We are given the right to vote as soon as we turn eighteen and any day after that, and you feel so great that you can finally do something that makes you feel as if you are an adult, but when you put a name on your ballet they may not be chosen for the office that they were running for. The Electoral College is process that was created very long ago by the founding fathers, which we still use today.
Many peole in the United States vote every election for who they think is best suited for office as President or Vice President. Say you voted for President who was extravagent and had all the traits they had were excellent to lead a country, but what you may not know is that your vote can be changed if one person representing your state in the Electoral College does not agree with the person you have chosen. The state legistlatures pick the Electoral College for each state, they may even come from public office, but the electorals do not technically have to choose the person you've chosen. Some state legistlature may oppose the man that the people have chosen so they will bring in a new electoral college, like when John F. Kennedy was chosen voted for, but they tried sabotaging him so he would not get the votes. The Electoral College can choose whomever they please.
In some states Presidents do not even campaign, such as in Rhode Island and South Carolina also there were 17 other states that were included in the Campaigns for the election in 2000. This is called the winner-take-all system when the canidates do not take time for the states they know they have no chance of winning over. In some states they did not even see a single ad campaign which was not obligated. The focus is on the states that are called "swing" states where the elections are very tight and they want your vote. One of the facts I have learned is that if you live in a "swing" state start learning about your Presidents so you know which one you believe is more capable.
We understand if there is a tie in anything, like an election, we have to keep working till there is a winner. It makes everything take more time and it goes through a longer process. When a tie happens in the Electoral College it is now thrown to the senate and that is when it starts to increase in time and we have to wait a longer. In Wyoming they do not have many citizens, so they only have one representative, but they speak as much as the 55 representatives from California. An Eelctoral tie is very unlikely, but it has happened.
Many people believe in the Elecotral College, but many do not. I belive that it should be abolished. I do not think it is fair that other people who have a higher power can take our votes and change them if they do not like them. It is outdated , unfair, and irrational. We should change it to popular vote and take it right from the Americans who've voted for the President they want. | 3 |
I think that participating in the Seagoing Cowboys program is not a good idea and heres why,
It might be fun to go and help others in need but what about your job, lots of things could happen. You might have an exiting time but what about all the responcebilities you have if you go. I mean I wouldin't go because of that or because what if one person doesin't want to do it any more, our someone gets car sick. A lot of things can happen and you know what, I dont want to get car sick if I were you. Also what about home, theres opportuneities here. What about the people who are in need right now. There is so much you could do right here right now. You don't have to go somewhere els just too help somone I mean there are people out here that are in need bad but your going to Greece just too help other people. It's a good idea but just think about what you good do here. I'm one of those people who love helping others but I know that I could just help someone here because going to Greece!! I wouldin't want too because I already have more than enuogh people I could help, things I could see, things I could do. There is just so much to do, and to see. I know that if you just think there will be something to do for our community just like that. Like I said you don't need to got to Greece to see that!
Those were some of my resons why you shouldin't go to Seagoing Cowboys program. Like I said,it would be fun but think about what could happen before you go and give it a try. | 1 |
Being a sea cow boy is an amazing experince, if you want to be a sea cowboy you might just be in for a suprise.
I think a good reason to become a Sea Cowboy is that you get to see great things. During my time a Sea Cowboy I travel many places. In 1947, I got to go on a journey to Europe and China, and for me that was an amazing experince. Eurpe and China were great, but I think some of my specialist experinces were when I travled to Acropolis in Greece, and when I took a gondola ride in Vienice italy, a city with streets of water. I also toured an excavated castle in Crete and marvled at Panama Canal on my way to China.
Another reason I enjoyed being a Sea Cowboy were the things I got to do in my free time. In my free time sometimes I would keep busy by taking care of the animals. I had to feed them, (they had to be fed two or threee times a day) and stalls had to be cleaned. (helping out on my aunt katies farm prepared me for that) To have fun on board Sea Cowboys played baseball and volleyball, and sometimes even table-tennis tournements, fencing, boxing, reading, and whittling to pass the time.
One of my favorite things about be a Sea Cowboy was helping people. On my journeys I helped people in Europe who had fallen in World War II, and that brought joy to my heart
In my opinion being a Sea Cowboy is a fun filled experince with fun, journeys, chances to help people, and an opprotunity of a lifetime. | 2 |
I am here to tell you why I think the, "Face on Mars" is a myth or misunderstanding. The Viking 1 Space craft was circling the plantet when they spotted the resemblence of a face. Here are a few reasons why I think this "Face" is just a misconception.
The NASA crew had stumbled upon the image when they were orbiting their sister ship Viking 2 Spacecraft. They may have gotten a clear image of the "Face" but they hadn't known the conditions of the planet before they made the assumption of Martian activity. They plastered it all over the US not knowing if the "Face" was really evidence of alien life on planets; excluding Earth.
Garvin recognized the landform. He said it had looked like a butte or a mesa he had seen on earth. Who knows if the the landforms on earth can form on a different planet. Garvin said, and I quote, "It reminds me most of Middle Butte in the Snake River Plain of Idaho. That's a lava dome that takes the form of an isolated mesa about the same height as the Face on Mars."
Scienctists figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia. There have been "buttes" or "mesas" in the region of Cydonia before. I do not understand why this "Face on Mars" is any different if it was common in the region where it was found. The formation looked like a face. Okay well, sometimes you see random formations on the street with trash. You wouldn't give it a second glance. So, I don't know why this formation on Mars would be any different.
I believe that the formation is just different shadows coming together to make one big shadow. The brain can do crazy things, even trick you at times. I think the formation is just a mind trick that everyone fell for. | 2 |
The face that loos like an alien could be a alien. We don't know as a team because nobody had not unburried it yet. They discover these faces on a red planet that is know as "Mars". There could be more aliens on that planet but we don't know. Its not a landform. A landform is a man made. A face is not naturally made into a plant nor ground. We as a team don't know what it is. Others say its land form, and others say it looks like an alien's face. Either one is wrong nor right. If I were to see it myself then I would say it looks like an alien's face. If there was some type of other evdience then thats when we know what it is. One clue isnt gonna help as much, unless we were to have more edvidence/ clues. I support my answer and said what I thought was a right/ good enough answer for all the team and people to understand. | 0 |
Today cars is one of the leading causes of greenhouse gas emissions in the world. Limiting car usage would be very benificial for today and future generations.
To start off there is many advantages to limit car use. One example would be "It's a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution." In Bogota, Colombia they have a car free day every year. A lot of people participate in it and some enjoy it. With that day it lowers car mission and shows people that cars aren't nessary to have. Another example would be, "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." Without cars people are happier and aren't as stressed as they would be if they still had a car.
Next life can go on without cars. One example would be "Vauban, Germany- Residents of this upscale community are suburban pionners: they have given up their cars." In this community there is little to no parking spaces. The community is tightly packed together so that it is better to walk places. Not only are their car free suburbas but cars are on a decline. An Example would be, "Recent studies suggest that Americans are buying fewer cars, driving less and gettiong fewer licenses as each year goes by." Even in America cars are starting to decline. Teens and young adults aren't getting their licenses and dont have to get it as a priority.
The world of cars is changing and the way cities are planned is with it. The reduction of car use will help lower greenhouse gas emissions for the future generations on Earth. | 1 |
The Facial Ation Coding System(FACS) is seeming to be useful in a classroom because it can detect when someone may be confused on a certain subject. As well as the FACS can detect if there are emotional issues that are imparing the student to learn.
To begin with the FACS computer, it's seeming to be useful because if a student is being confused during a lesson and the teacher can be notified and the problem can be resolved. In addition the FACS can help a teacher by checking to identify if the students are genuinly having fun and not only be for the students but help the teacher create a mor fun and enjoyable time in class while still learning.
In addition, the FACS can detect if a student is havimg emotional issudes and the teacher or staff can see if they can fix the problem. And as well as fixing some problems at home because there are cases where some of the emotional problems transfer in to school and impare the student to learn.
In conclusion the FACS would be a great learning tool for the classrooms. Including helpful resource for students and teachers so they can make class enjoyable. And finally to help with figuring out the problem. | 2 |
Driverless cars have the potential to be revoloutinary in terms of how cars are made and how they function. This sounds fun and exciting, but I think it important to step back and see what is reallly being offered here. These cars will change life as we know it. It is important that officials look at how these cars will affect not only the country, but the world. Technology is a great thing, but we tend to forget the many negatives that go along with the positives. I think that we forget that this is what is happening with driverless cars. We need to stop looking at this in the terms of the big technological advancement that it is and really look at how these cars are being produced. Lives are at risk if we do not. This is why I recommend that manfactures halt any plans for driverless cars for immediate future.
Like I have stated before technology is a great thing, but in my opinion technology is only as good as the person behind the technology. Manafacturs of driverless need to be absoloutly sure they are using top of the line equipment to insure the occupants safety and to be sure that failure is next to impossible. Likewise, the goverment needs to work with the manafacture to insure that if and when their product does fail that the manafacture is protected from any legal action that may arise from the improper mantainence and operation of said product. There are laws like this for almost any product availaible, but when something new like the driverless car is developed, new laws must be made to cover this new product. At the present time, since driverless cars are not readily available to the the public, no such laws exists to cover driverless car manafactures.
Laws are important. They protect us and everyone around us from harm. In the previous paragraph I dicussed laws to protect the manafacture from liability in the case of human error. Now I would like to touch on something that is extremely important to know when operating a motor vehicle. Traffic Laws are extremely important in the efforts to keep drivers, passangers, and pedetrians safe from any and all harm that may result from the improper operation of a motor vehicle, however; no such laws are in place regarding driverless vehicles because the lawmakers who make the laws and the law enforcment officers entrusted with the duty to see that they are obeyed and carried out, assume that a car, truck, or SUV must have a driver in order to manuveur
safely and effectively through, or around any obsticle it might encounter. If a driverless car is to be built it must have the capabilitys to ensure that it's passangers are safe and that the operation of said car will not endanger the safety of other vechicles and there occupants.
Driveless cars sound like a great idea, but I cannot foresee any good that can come out of building such a car. The laws and safety regulations are not in place to protect both consumer and manafacture to ensure that the upmost care is taken when building such a machine, and also to ensure the safety of the car's occupants, as well as the occupants of the other vehicles that share the road with this car. Lastly, there are no laws to ensure that the manafacture is protected from liability in the case of an accident that results from human error. Until these laws are in place I cannot see driverless cars being something worth consideration. | 3 |
The idea of driveless cars would be a brilliant invention because of 3 big reasons. These three reasons are less accidents, economy could get better, and more work.
The rate of accidents could go dramastically because the people that drive irratically would no longer be behind the wheel.
There would be a computer sterring the wheel. People could not speed unless tey were in controll. SO therefore less speeding tickets.
The economy could get better because more money would get made from saling these cars. The junkyards would make more because a lot of people would scrap their old cars so that they could get those new carss. So that would be plus to all of these too.
More jobs would open up to statr selling these drivless cars so poverty would go down. This be a great thing so less people would be homeless.
Some people have been dreaming of cars like this for a long time.
This would mean a lot of great things happening in this country if this were tpo happen. | 1 |
The use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students is valuable. It is valuable because in this passage "Making Mona Lisa Smile" in paragraph six it gives the example of computers more specefically classroom computers and what could be possible for education some years down the road to improve students learning. In paragraph six we get evidence from "Dr. Huang" telling us how this could possibly be like a good human instructor like a teacher. The evidence proving this comes from "Dr. Huang" himself he says "A classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored," "Then it could modify the lesson, like an effective human instructor." basically "Dr. Huang" is saying of course down the road in the future a classroom computer can recognize students emotion and make constant changes to the students lesson on the computer to make a effective lesson like an actual human teacher. Thus proving that this technology to read a students expressions in a classroom is valuable.
Another example proving that the use of this technology to read a students expressions in the classroom is valuable because in education there is alot of classes and alot of technology classes you can chose from one of the many technology based classes is Web Design. Again in paragraph six we could see a huge increase in technology more specfically animated faces. For instance in paragraph six we get evidence of how the same technology can make computer animated faces alot more expressive. Here is evidence "The same technology can make computer-animated faces more expressive-" again proving how this technology to read the emotions of students in class is actually valuable.
Another piece of evidence proving this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable because in fact there are colleges out there that do offer video game based classes this could be another advantage. It is an advantage because video games are technology and since colleges are offering classes based on videogames this could really increase the learning atmosphere for each and everyone of those students who take that course. A piece of evidence would also again be found in paragraph six where it states "The same technology can make computer-animated faces more expressive- for videogames". This is proving that this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom or a videogame course in this case is valuable.
Another piece of evidence is how we first found this technology back in paragraph one the very end of it we get some background information on how this technology was found. We get the evidence that this sofware is the latest discovery from "Prof. Thomas Huang"
of "Beckman Institute for Advanced Science" at the "University of Amsterdam". Just knowing that Professor Thomas Huang may not be a student but is teaching this software to his students in classroom is for sure valuable. We even get this really nice piece of evidence
"Dr. Huang and his colleague are experts at developing better ways for humans and computers to communicate". This is saying Huang and his colleague are making this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in classrooms is valuable.
In conclusion the use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is super valuable from videogames, professors to classroom computers and even just improving being able to read facial expressions is important because after all most of the human communication is nonverbal meaning not talking it is just simply "emotional communication". Also it says in the very begining that this new revolutionary software has promising applications for a good ammount of industries. Proving that the use of this technology to read the emotional expressions of students in a classroom is valuable thus improving the already flourshing education of all the students who take grasp of this. Leading on to a brighter and better future for everyone in the world. | 2 |
In "The Challenge of Exploring
Venus'' explain how humans are exploring Venus, it shows the advantages and disadvantages that Venus has. The author suggests that studying venus is worth persuit dispite danger presents, and it is true because we don't know waht is out there and we have to be prepared, although is good to explore new things . Some reasons that prove the author is right are, that Venus is like the Earth, it has his story like Earth, and we can survive there.
One of the reasons Venus is like Earth is that the shape and density. Also Venus is very close to Earth too. I know this because in the text it says, ''Often referred to as Earth's ''twin", Venus is the closest planet to Earthin terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest planet in distance too''. This evidence shows how's Venus. Maybe the gravity is also like Eath and if is it true we can survive there.
The second reason is that Venus started as same as Earth. It has a story in that both planets started all covered by oceans and strange things. I know this because in the text it says,''Long ago, Venus was probably covered with oceans and could have supported various forms of life just like Earth''and "The planet has a surface rocky sediments and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters''. This shows how scientists have exploring Venus, they have their hypotesis about how did Venus started and how is changing. Scientis have curious if it just started with the same story like Earth.
The third reason is that we can survive at that planet. If the scientists says that is the twin of the Earth mean that we can probably have another option to live in Venus. I know this because in the text it says,''Not easy conditions, but survivable for humans''. This mean that humans can have a new chance of life in another planet, is not going be easy but we can discover new things that may help us be better in the future. Nothing is easy but we can get to know other things.
In conclusion I think the NASA should continue exploring the planet also to inform us about all this new thing about Venus. We have a challenge of exploring new things every day and we learn from it. It would be cool that we can discover new things in another planet such as Venus. Also it feels good to know that another planet is the twin of ours. | 3 |
It is a good technology to have. People can lie about how they feel. In the painting of Mona do u really know she was happy. No a comupter can say that but it a painting of the person that is not around. So you don't know it just he face everyday. She has no eyebrows so how can you so she is suprised. In the text it says your eyebrows Well you cant have that if there isn't any.
So thing that it is a good technology to have but it just not proven to work on paint. The students don't realy need to know how to use a computer to see how people are feeling. People most of the time you can tell by looking on there faces. Why is it important to know picture or a painting is feeling when you look at it should do it for you. How do you say she is 83 percent happy you can't put that like it a math problem. Because you don't know how see really feels because it could just be a face for all we know.
That is why I think is would be worthless for students to use it. They cant use a comupter to see how someone is feeling inside them. It is a good advancement and can be use but in another way. People can hide how they are feeling just by there face. It also not something students need to learn to go far in life. | 1 |
Here, in the United States, birthplace of the Model T,driving has proven to be part of our history and culture. However, with recently uncovered developments in our environment such as global warming and pollution, it is time for us to re-evaluate our "car culture". Overusage has proven harmful and limiting alternatives that reduce stress, are just as effective in getting us from point 'A' to 'B' and are more eco-friendly.
Our excessive car usage is dramatically hurting our environment. In fact, "...Passenger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe... and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States" (5). What people use for our short term convenience is actually proving inconvenient for us in the long run. In Paris, there was "147 micrograms of particulate matter per cubic meter compared with 114 in Brussels and 79.9 in London" (17). The culprit? Diesel fuel emissions from transportation (cars). To underscore the severity, the smog in Paris is so bad that French Officials had to limit car usage in a smog cloaked city that "rivaled Beijing, China, which is known as one of the most polluted cities in the world"(14).
This issue is mirrored in Bogota, Columbia, where the government has also stepped in and established a car free day in which perpetrators get fined in order to " promote alternative transportation and reduce smog" (21). Efforts such as these can be effective in aiding our environmental crisis. After France also instated a limit on car usage "the smog cleared" (19). By limiting our car usage we can actually make a difference in reducing pollution and make our living environment more pleasant and healthier.
The switch is facilitated further not only by the inclination toward a better worldy environment but a less stressful social one as well. In the city of Vauban in Germany, residents have " given up their cars"(1). Here although car ownership is allowed, "70 percent of Vauban's families do not own cars and 57 percent sold a car to move [there]." (3). Do the residents regret their decision? According to Heidrun Walter, a media trainer and mother of two: "When I had a car I was always tense, I am much happier this way"(3). In Bogota, a business man, Carlos Arturo Plaza who participates in Bogota's movement to reduce car usage says that the absence of cars is an "...opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution" (24). These are two individuals on different continents with families and busy lives who find the lack of cars to be not a handicap but actually a source of stress relief. In France, after the restrictions of car usage the streets also became less stressful for people who have to drive (like taxi drivers or public transporters) because of a "60 percent reduction in traffic congestion" (14).
For those who do decide to make a move to help the environment and themselves by reducing their car usage, their are more and more alternatives that are making their switch worthwhile. In Vauban, you can hear the sounds of viable alternatives in use. The "swish of bicycles" and the "chatter"(3) of walking children is audible in the streets. Carlos Arturo Plaza rides the car-free streets of Bogota on " atwo seat bicycle with his wife"(24). For those who don't feel comfortable with walking or cycling other options such as carpool exist and governments are now making more of an effort to make other alternatives such easier and more available ( i. e. public transportation). In Bogota, in order to support the movement toward less automobile driving wide sidewalks have been made. In Vauban the whole city has been constructed with the goal to make everything compact and easier to access by foot or bike. This is good news for those who make the early morning busness commute as their job is closer to where they live and more convenient to walk or bike to than other suburbs in which commuters are forced to take the high way because of the distance. Also, the more people who take advantage of whatever public transportation available to them will make the demand higher and cause more funding to be placed on public transportation. Before "80 percent of appropriations have by law gone to high ways and only 20 percent to other transport"(9), but with more usage, this can change.
Essentially, the sacrifice of some of our car usage is far outweighed by the positive affects on our environment and attitudes. Plus new systems that cater to better alternative uses make the switch easier than ever!! | 4 |
As many countries in the world starting on develop high techonology, the use of computers is very necessary. Scientists begin working on study new techonology to help humans lives become more convinience. One of the new uses of techonology is that reading, and identifying human emotions. While highschool students usually have trouble to know their friends, and classmates oppinions about them, the new technology called the "Facial Action Coding System" in a classroom is valuable.
The use of computers to read humans emomtions expressions is helpful, because it can read emotional expression accurately, and people will need it, especially students. Highschool students often curious about what people think about them, but somtimes they could not know what the emotion exactly means. Therefore, they need techonology that can help them, specifically the Facial Action Coding System. This techonology allows computers to analyze both simple and complex facial expressions. In order to do this, the computer has to built up 3-D movements of facial muscles, and all those movements are the same as movements of the face in real life. One more way we can tell this technology can work well is that it compares every emotion to a no emotion face, because it says "Each expression is compared against a neutral face (showing no emotion)." in the text. With its characteristics, the Facial Action Coding System can help students in classes. Students then can understand their classmates, partners easier. They would feel more confidence, and could focus on lessons better.
The purpose of studying techonology is to help humans lives become better, all techonologies are really useful and have certain value to humans, including the use of Facial Action Coding System. This is a technology that can help identify correctly people feeling base on what they are showing in their faces. When highschool students often face challenges to understand other students facial expressions, the use of this techonology is needed. It is not only because it can work well, but it also help classes more effectively by improving students feeling. This technology is very valuable, and every students will need one. | 2 |
Technology to read the emotinoal expressions of students in a classroom would be very valuable but also very not likely to happen anytime soon. While I believe it's a great idea to keep kids on track and keep them actually working; I don't believe it would work as easily in the real world.
There are many problems with the Facial Action Coding System. The first thing would be as stated in paragraph 7, "Your home PC can't handle the complex algorithms used to decode Mona Lisa's smile." This shows that a normal PC can't handle the algorithms. Without this program working on a normal PC schools are going to have to buy certain computers and pay people to maintain them. It's overall not practical or convenient enough. I believe in the near future it will be very pracitical and will be used to help many kids that wouldn't have graduated before graduate.
I believe the Facial Acton Coding System would be very helpful to get kids that dont try and aren't engaged, engaged in their school work. If you can make learning fun for a kid when they're upset or frustrated, it'll make it much eaiser for them to learn. Using these machines so they manipulate your work and change it to fit how you are emotionally will get kids to try harder and get engaged. I also believe the percentage of kids failing and dropping out would change once the coding system is integrated.
Overall I believe the Facial Action Coding System is a very great idea. It'll improve our schools and our country as a whole. But as previously said I dont think we are technologically advanced enough to start using these algorithms and programs, but I believe in the next 10 years we'll start to see this program in schools being used to help the children. | 3 |
According to the passage using emotions and expression to show how we feel and animated characters using animations and showing facial expressions to express emotions and how they feel towards other things is not a bad idea. If a human gets hurt then the emotion and the expression would be squinting there eyes being loud or holding whatever got hurt. So giving those types of animations and expressions to robots and video game characters would be good because you would not be able to tell what happened to them if they didnt have any emotion of when they got hurt or smiling. When a human is taing a picture and you want to make it look nice they would smile so they would open there mouth and show there teeth making there face wrinkle. They need to put the same emotion and such for animated characters in tv shows and video games. Also you have to use some muscles to smile and to show facial expressions towards everything like jobs,school,and even taking pictures. | 0 |
Evolution is an factor of life that effects us all in some way shape or form. As we get new ideas, and put them into pratice we are supporting this factor. With the evoloutinon of cars, going from mauel, to driver less is not only a great, and intuitive idea but also a major part in the evolution of automobiles. I feel as though we should support this advancement for it would prove benifical to a overwhelming number of people. Though I support this idea, I do see the risks, and potential problems that would accompany such a machine. But in my opion the benifits out way the risks.
How many people have died, or have been injured from automobile accidents? The answer generates, a massive amount of concern, and anxiety, though we are the most sophisticated spieces on earth, we also tend to make alot of mistakes. According the the article, self driving cars have gone nearly half a million miles without any major, or minor accidents. That is not only impressive, but also reasuring, well at least to me. Now im not saying that because of this fact the pearson inside the car should go ahead, and take a nap, because machines can't do everything for us.
When i was learning to drive my Grandfather, made told me that when your on a express way the best thing to do is to through it in crusie control, and take a nap. Of coruse this was a joke, when driving the driver must always be alert for possible incursions. I feel the same should be said for self driving cars, for their some road conditons that the car itself cannot handel. The article refers to certain times when the driver should have to take over such as; when construction is taking place, or when navigating around a accident. The driver may not have to drivew always when in one of these cars but when situations such as the ones previously metioned arise,I feel the driver should take the wheel.
To many lives are lost do to driving while under the influence or "drunk driving" the alcohal in the drivers system affeects the respons time and, critical thinking skills, wich in turn causes major threats to both the driver, and others around them. Now the question is should someone who is drunk be abel to drive a sekf driving car? My answer is no, because the car may still need the driver to operate the vehical through difficult situations the car itself can't navigate thorugh. I metioned some situations earlier, of when the sober, and normally functioning driver would need to take over but would it be safe to have some one who is drunk to drive through a work zone, or around a accident? So before the driver enters the vechile they should have to be abel to pass a breathalizer test to let the car drive on its own.
Now I know that in my introduction that I said that I was pro self driving cars, but all through out my bodies I talked about how many regulations there should be, but thats only cause I seeboth the benifits, and the dangers. Yes the world should be open to the idea of self driving cars but the world should also note that this isn't a way to completely get out of driving for good, and we also should realize that driving while were impaired is a bad idea wheteher or not the car can drive itself. We need to move forward and embrace the evouliton of technology, but we also mut tred carefully for every advancement present, simalar risks as the previous one. | 3 |
There are many advantages of limiting car usage. Limiting car usage helps reduce smog in the cities. In the article, " Paris Bans Driving Due To Smog", the author, Robert Duffer, talks about France banned driving in order to clean the polluted air. According to the text, " Paris typically has more smog than other European capitals". Here it is evident that Paris has major pollution problems. Most of the vehicles in Paris have diesel fuel rather than gasoline, in which they favor due to a tax policy. "The smog cleared enough Monday for the ruling French party". This clearly shows us that the ban on driving in Paris had an advantage in keeping a clean air.
Not only will limiting car usage will maintain an polluted air for us to breathe, but it will decrease traffic jams. In the article, "Car-Free day is spinning into a big hit in Bogota", by Andrew Selsky, a program is to "promote alternative transportation". Selsky writes, "Rush-hour restrictions have dramatically cut traffic". This tells the reader that this has positive impact on the city.
Limiting car usage could save time, improve safety, and conserve resources. According to the article, "The End Of Car Culture", the author mentions how her children live in places in which driving a car would be useful, however its not their priority because they "organize their summer jobs and social life around where they can walk or take public transportation or car-pool with friends". Although they could have gotten their own license to drive, it would have been a waste of money and time when there is always an avaliable and less cost transportaion.
Limiting car usages indeed does have advantages. The limiting of our car usages has positive effect on our enviroment by the reducing of smog, the decrease in traffic jams, conserves our resources and time, and also improves our safety. | 3 |
I am against the driverless car. First, in most states it is illegal to test a driverless car. Also the car is not totally driverless. Another point is the car there are liabilities that have not yet been resolved.
To start, it is illegal to test driverless cars in most states. In paragragh nine the text states, " In most states it is illeagal even to test computer-driven cars." That text is saying that it is illegal to test the cars, much less drive one.
Next, the driverless car is not totally driverless. In paragragh seven the text states, "In fact, none of the cars developed so far are completely driverless." That portion of the text says that no car is completely driverless. That mean that the "driverless" car is not so driverless.
Finallly, the driverless car has liabilities that have not yet been resolved. The text states, " Still, even if traffic laws change, new laws will be needed in order to cover liability in case of an accident." That shows that there are not even laws protecting a person. Another example from the text states, "If the technology fails and someone is injured, who is at fault- the driver or the manufacturer?" This shows that the car is not safe and a person could get the blame for an accident cased by faulty technology.
One could argue that driverless cars, have features that warn the driver when the car has reached a point that a human has to take over. The text states, " GM has developed driver's seats that vibrate when the vehicle is in danger of backing into an object. The Google car simply announces when the driver should be prepared to take over." I would argue that in a situation where the sound from the google car is not expressed, not giving the driver the notice could cause serious injuries. Supporters of the car might argue that with Tesla projecting the release of a car capable of driving on autopilot ninety percent of the time by the end of 2016 all the issues are worked out. I would argue against that claim by quoting the text that staes, " Auto makers are continuing their work on the assumptionthat the problems ahead will be resolved." That shows that the problems are not resolved and the auto makers are just assuming that they will be worked out.
To conclude, there not being laws for testing or driver, the car not being totally driverless, and there being liabilities that are not resolved, a person should not get a "driverless" car. Maybe some ime in the future automakers will have proof that the driverless car is safe, but until then people should not drive these cars. | 2 |
Although driverless cars present some benefits they also bring up big issues. Such as driveless car aren't entirely driverless, they are not reliable and create legal problems.
A driverless car is not driverless which means that the driver will have to be alert to still be able to take over the wheel when pulling in and out of driveways or overseeing traffic problems like work zones and accidents.
Another issue driverless cars present is that it is illegal to test computer driven cars in some states. How can anyone be sure that driverless cars are safe if they can't be tested. What if the car's technology were to fail and someone getting injured. This also ties in with
Legal issues that will produce more conflict, for example who would cover liablility if there were to be an accident. In additon to that who's fault would it be the "driver" or the manufacurer?
So as you see driverless cars present issues of not being entirely driverless, they can not be totally reliable and safe, and create legal issues. | 1 |
From the crammed streets of New York City, to the tourist-filled city of Paris, cars have been the means of transportation around the globe ever since their creation. The reliance on cars has been an issue too great to ignore, as the environment becomes more polluted and the streets become more dangerous. We must shed light on the dark tunnel that has been blinding our judgement to a brighter future, where pollution is limited and our streets are clean. That future can only be seen with limiting car usage. Therefore, limiting car usage would be advantageous because it would better the environment and it would create a better lifestyle around the world.
First, limiting car usage would be advantageous because it would better the environment. With global warming increasing by the day, any step to reduce pollution and greenhouse gases should be taken, limiting car usage is an essential tool to head in that direction. As a Elisabeth Rosenthal from the New York Times expounded: "Passanger cars are responsible for 12 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe and up to 50 percent in some car-intensive areas in the United States." Clearly cars are extremely harmful to the environment. However there is hope, because once car usage is limited these high numbers can be mitigated everywhere. In fact, in Paris, as Robert Duffer from the Chicago Tribune reported, policies to lower car usage have been taken and have actually worked! In France's capital "motorists with even-numbered license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a 22-euro fine. The same would apply to odd-numbered plates the following day." In hopes to reduce carbon emmissions and save the environment, Paris's prayers were answered as the smog cleared enough for the government to remove the ban for odd-numbered plates. Clearly, the pollution reduced due to one factor--limiting car usage. If actions around the world are initiated similar to Paris's plan, then a better environmental future is inevitable. The environmental benefits of reducing car usage are endless. After all we only have one planet, cars should not be the machines to dictate our environmental future.
Moreover, limiting car usage is benefitial because it would create a better lifestyle around the world. Reliance on cars has shaped modern society into a dependent state on oil. However, once that oil runs out, what type of lifestyle will people turn to? Limiting car usage provides this answer through a healthy lifestyle before this day arises. For example, In Bogota, Colombia, as Andrew Selsky from the Seattle Times put it: "the construction of 118 miles of bicycle paths" had been built within Bogota after years of limiting cars. People are shifting their reliance on cars and turning them into productive means of transportation. In fact, rush hour restrictions cut traffic and has led to a rise in parks and shopping districts in Bogota, according to Mr Selsky. Even Carlos Arturo Plaza a businessman in Bogota enthusiastically exclaimed: "It's a good opportunity to take away stress..." as he rode a two seat bicycle with his wife. However, Bogota is not the only place where limiting car usage has been gaining support, the Mobile World Congress has been engaged too! Bill Ford, the executive chairman of the Ford Motor Company laid out his plan where he envisioned a "world in which personal vehicle ownership is impractical or undesriable," (Rosenthal). He believed that "partnering with the telecommunications industry to create cities in which pedestrian, bicycle, private cars, commercial and public transportation traffic are woven into a connected network to save time, conserve resources, lower emission and improve safety" (Rosenthal). If people around the globe are willing to support this movement, especially a chairman for one of the world's largest automotive companies, and partake in this new lifestyle, then limiting car usage must be the way to go. This new lifestyle of riding bikes, walking, and taking public transportation, will mold the traditional transportation mediums, into a more safe and secure one if citizens support this advantageous movement.
It is time the citizens of planet Earth envision the streets of Beijing and the historic city of London, not as images of pollution and car-reliant places, but as clean and healthy ones. The advantages of limiting car usage makes this dream a reality, because this policy betters the environment and creates a better lifestyle around the world. Hopefully word spreads quickly, and everyone, everywhere, knows of the advantages of limiting car usage, because only then, will our future be a bright one. | 4 |
Studying Venus has the good and the bad. You find out so much about your planet and others. Like whybdonthey call Venus an "Evening Star" when its actually a planet. With Venus being provern a very challenging place to examine, ist hard to find out more abiut it. Studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite that dangers.
One of the big dangers studying Venus is the temperature. Venus is the hottes planet in our solar system. The planets temperature averages over 800 degrees Fahrenheit. The atmospheric pressure is 90 time greater than then on our planet. The conditions are way more extreme then what we've encounter on Earth. In addition to the heat there's erupting valcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes.
We could be living on Venus. Venus has the most Earth-like planet in our solar system. Venus used to be covered with oceans that could've supported various forms of life. Even today Venus has rocky sediment, valleys, mountains, and craters. Venus is an opttion for a planetary visit.
There are solutions for the temperature. NASA's solution is to let scientist float above the fray. A vehicle hovering 30 miles above the Venusian landscape. It would be like airplanes flying over storms, but in this case its a blimp-like vehicle flying over the 800 degree surface. The vehicle would be thirty-plus miles above the surface. Solar power would be plentful anc radiation would not exceed Earth levels, survivable but not easy conditions.
Trying to meet the challenge by Venus has value. Human curiosity will most likely lead us to many intimidating endeavors. With the dangers studing Venus, helps us incase we need to move to another planet. Studying Venus is dangerous but, it has its perks. | 2 |
Dear State Senator,
I believe that you should stick with the electoral college, because i don't really care about any of this. But you wanted my opinion so i gave it to you. Also I say to stick with the electoral college is because i don't care enough to give a reason to change your voting to popular vote. I don't really knoe anything about the ellectoral college or populare vot, because you passage is to boring i couldn't get through half of it.
I also don't care to much for government. But if i did i would try to read the whole passage and give you a really good essay to read. But i don't and im not that sorry either and don't care. If your really want somones opinion you should ask someone who doesn't care ask one that does because then you would get a good answer but not from me.
Also next time you want to give me a passage don't give me one on the government. Because frankly no one im my grade will care because I certeny do not. But thats just my opinion. And i know that repeating things in an essay is bad but really, you need to give this passage to someone that care thats not me. And no one reallt cares about the fiasco in 2000 or any other year for that matter and you can't make them. Also if someone says that can't wright on a spicific topic belive them and try to change it please and thank you.
Ooh and if whoever is reading this or if your grading this be remind ed if this was getermining if I were to get out of entsive reading or not for next year i really wouyld try harder. Because we both know this isn't. And im cencerly sorry i havent prepared a better passage for you to read. But im pretty sure you don't read all of it.
cencerly, not a good essay wrighter | 0 |
In "The Challenge of Explorating Venus," the author suggests that studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it persents. The author supports their claim with the excitement in their tone, never negative about a situation, just eager to figure out a solution. In the passage, it is talked about how important the explorations of Venus really is by how comparable it was to Earth in the past. It most likely was once, the most Earth-like planet, "probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life..." (Paragraph 4)
Dedicated to the study of Venus, the author claims how not even the dangers will get in his way. They will just simply work their way around them. What makes the study of venus so important is the large possiblity that it used to be just like how Earth is now. If that's true, first off, the only way to be able to know that for certain is to study it. Secondly, we need to know the dangers of what our world could become. In paragraph 8 of "The Challenge of Explorating Venus", The author 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." In this quote, the detrmination of the author clearly shines through. There are many "challenges" of venus, like the clouds in the atmosphere made up of highly corrosive sulfuric acid, and how the surface temperature would liquify many mentals. But like in the quote, the studies of Venus need to be continued so that people aren't left to wonder if our would could become like Venus.
The author supports his claim by presenting us with what we could be left without if the studies woudld have to stop. We would be left with no explination of the future of our own planet. Left without the knowledge of what Venus is like. Left to wonder. No one would ever get anywhere if they just gave up when things got hard, and that's what The author is trying to prove. The studies of Venus are extremely valuble, so why would they quit without trying to find a solution. Venus is a worthy persuit despite the dangers it presents. | 2 |
Are some of you parents out there wondering how you can get your son out of the house because he has hit those teenage years. Well guess what i have the perfect suggestion for you. Well we have a special guest to explain to you how his trip was and to get you to sign up now herer he is. Hello! My name is luke, i am a high school grudating student fro mthis experinceice. Now you know what lets get right into it. The first thing i want to talk about is the first things i did or was doing before i got this oppurtinty aslo who gave me this oppurtinty. Well first thing first i was working just like any normal high school teenager was i worked at a bank and at a groccery store. Next this oppurtinty was gavinen to be by my great friend Don Reist. Now this oppuritnty was once in a lifetime how could i say now. Well now lewts talk about what you do before you get on the boat. Well real simplie you go to Eruope and get on a cattle boat. Some of you may ask what is a cttle boat? Well a cattle boat where you watch peoples cow,Horeses and more. So me and my buddy Ron we didnt pick the very best time to go we went in the year of 1945. Yea you can say it that's the year of Wold War 2, I know I know it is well also you may say this man is trying to get me to take my child to Eroupe and put him on a boat and have him go when a war is going on im not doing that i don't want my kid to die. Well you know what i'm still living standing strong to. Well how about we quiet agrueing and just get on to what i did when i was on the boat. Alright well i boarded the boat and i got on searched around and everything. Also i forgot to tell you this job you do how a couple months or years is called "Seagoing Cowboys".
Alright so its August and we were headed to new orleans. We arrived on August 14 the day the pacific war ended. See i told you people that your childern wont die i was on the boat for a cople days or months. We had 335 horses on are boat. You might ask how did the boat not sink? Well the boat is perfectly safe no damages to it no broken parts if your childern sign up they will be perfectlyu safe. I had to feed the horses 2 or 3 times a dy wicgh it was very exouhusting but also fun At the same time. Well you know how i said your children will be saf well thats gets me into the part where i almost fell into the atlantic ocean. Well i was going to repoert to the captin because when i turned 18 i got a promation to night watch and had to report to the captin ever 1 hour. Well it was dark and rainiy that night and i tripped over some and i sliped all the way down to the back and the edge of the until a pice of metal stoped me. Well i was still happy to be alive.
See i told you that your son and dauhter will have agreat experince on this magnifcent trip. See im still alive. So come oont this trip will teach them how to work hard for things. And it gets you a week of no teenagers. So come on just sign your kid up and you will have a diffrent child when your back. Thanks for leisting to my story im luke Bye!!! | 0 |
The author discusses the good and the bad of these cars. The author talks about how they could easily replace buses and/or other methods of transportation. Though the author also states that some of these methods can be costly and impratical. I think that driverless cars should not be developed further. For the reason that it would be much safer with drivers and we do not need to change much then.
With a driver behind the wheel, the driver would be much more effective at keeping themself safe. The driver can see the oncoming cars, traffic, or construction and avoid them. The driverless car could possibly not be aware of some of these conditions and then wreck the car. The sensors on the driverless car could also malfunction while driving and result in the same effect. The driver could just work around all of it and not have to rely on their car to keep them safe. The author even states that right now these situations require human skill rather than the car doing it all.
If we were to have these driverless cars, we might have to change the roads to allow these to work. Changing all the roads to work with these cars would be very costly and take quite a while to finish. We also have to worry about putting new laws into place about safety. Like the author says, if someone is injured, who is at fault-the driver or the manufacturer. Would the driver be at fault because they were in the car, or would the manufacturer be at fault because the car's technology failed?
To conclude, the driverless cars should not be further developed. They could potentially put a person in danger, they would not be very cost effective, and a lot would need to be changed. We do not need to change if we already have a system that works well for the most part. The driverless cars would be pointless. | 2 |
I am strongly against the development of these cars . First , Whats the point in making a car thats functions by itself ? Cars were made to be driven by humans not by themselfs . Why spend so much money and time in trying to develop something , when theres no garrented that anybody will buy them or they will even function properly . Its just telling drunk drivers or high drivers to get behind the wheel of a car , Nothing bads going to happen your not driving so nothings your fault .
Second , Are traffic laws were made to keep pedestrains , drivers , and passengers safe . In this article " Driverless Cars Are Coming " They give you a question " who is at fault the driver or the manufacturer ? " . When anything bad happens on the road , I feel as if its the manufacturer falt . They basically say there is no need in watching the road when you drive now are cars will take car or everything ; Eat , talk , text , sleep , smoke , do as you please . They have flashing lights , entertainment , information systems that use heads-up display to warn a driver when he or she must take over . With knowing this drivers really wont pay attention now a lot horrible things can happen , The only thing that will improve is how one can drive perfectly in a straight line .
Thrid , How do we even know the driverless car works right ? How do we know it wont malfunction ? KIll us ? or even catch its ownself on fire ! We know nothing of this driverless car and what its truly capable of . Can it stop correctly at a stop light or a yeild sigh , Can it reprogram to drive itself at the right speed limit . Slow down when a pedestrian , dog , raccoon , or even a squirral has entered the road .
lastly ,
My question is why build something to out smart the system when the system is good already ? We already drive everywhere we need to go , If not driving we walk . The traffic laws are fine they prevent dangrous accidents already , Everybody follows then an know them ; and those who don't follow get a free trip the the police station . Why confuss people , switch , or even change some laws to protect the driverless car and its manufacturer . Im against the driverless car for many reason and I still have many questions about the development . You shouldn't take something so simple and make it into something so complicated ,
Just leave things how they were mean't to be . | 3 |
Driverless cars may be the future but it would be a rather risky option. Sure the driverless cars are going to have advanced technology and have a ton of motion sensors on the body of the cars but all that technology, including the crucial sensor on the roof of the car that constantly processes 3D images around the car's body can cost millions of dollars to produce.
The cost to manufacture the cars aren't the only problem, The psychological aspects contribute to the driverless car aswell stating that the fact that drivers may get bored when they aren't driving. The drivers could also doze off to sleep and miss all the warning displays about the car needed to be taken over by the driver which can lead to more accidents.
Driverless cars are also illegal to test in some states becuase the safety of the public is concerned. The hardware in these cars can easily fail and traffic laws will need to change in order who will be the one to blame if the car malfunctions- either the manufactuer or the driver. Presently, traffic laws are written with the assumption that a car can olnly be safe if a human driver has total control. The advanced technology can throw the driver and the manufacters through a loop, which may result that the whole situation will turn into a mess and the manufacturers will be sued because the driverless cars didn't meet the highest standards for pedestrian safety.
Yes, having an extra pair of eyes in the car is very usefull when backing out or to prevent an accident thanks to the automatic brakes and sensors, but being in a car that is driverless can be very dangerous if the driver is not alert and prepared to take the wheel when there is a work zone ahead. Also the driverless cars may be very expensive because of all the technology that is enhancing the safety features. Driverless cars will cause problems in the near future if the technology malfuntions or causes harm to the driver. | 3 |
There are people all around the world that makes different varity of cars but theres nothing like driverless cars. Driverless cars are negitive, in my opinion. They'll keeps you secure, make sure your observing the road at all times, and the seats even vibrate when the vehicle is in danger but drivers must be alert and ready if the car is in any type of situation. Thes variaty of cars can be useful for those who have trouble keeping their eyes on the road. There are multiple reasons why driverless cars are useful but could be also negitive vehicles to us. Just keep reading to find out why.
All the driverless cars sounds so good and cool to us but most people would buy them because of what they and what they could do for them. Even though these cars came watch out for us and have vibrating seats and designed to do work and things like that but what if the car colaps? Anything can break and some things cant be fixed. Just imagine youre driving this new car and boom! it stops. You might think you need gas or oil change but really, everything broke down. Nothing is working the way you bought it. Youre going to need a new car.
These type of cars arent even good for a first time driver. If the car is doing everything for them then they're not gong to learn anything. Driverless brake by themselve, thats one important thing a first time driver needs to know. If theres only cars like this in the world with no regular cars, then i honestly think all of our cars are not going to make it.
Accidents inside the car can also be a problem. Lets say we have children and they get to the front seat with juice in their hand with no lid. Juice is going to get everywhere and there's going to be a big mess. Juice gets into the sterio or or where to start the car up at theres no more driverless car anymore.
This car has camera on its rearveiw mirror, four automotive rador sensors. Your just better off with a regular car. Saves parents money and a whole lot of attitude. | 2 |
In the story "The Challlenge of Exploring Venus" the claim is they use facs like how we havent taken any thing from venus and they also use how if we do live up there we have to deal with the weather and how some of our metals will mealt if there up there because of the tempeture is 800 degrees farenhight and the atmoshphere is 97 percent carbin dioxide blanks venus and the atmoshphere is 90 times greater than what we expect at our own planet and venus has powerfull earthquakes and lightnig strights and the aurthor is telling and explaning what the goods and bad to the world venus and how the world is a working envoirment for the humans but they would have to deal with bad weather and problems like earths aurthor but harder to deal with and much more stronger and they have try to take samples of venus but the tempature is to strong and they cant get to close and every attemet was etheir unmmaned or unndrowned.But the narator show how NASA is perparing and how they are trying to get there but they are having struggles and difficulties. The aurthor saids "probaly covered with largely oceans and could have supported various of life just like earth today, venus still has some features that are analougous and incldes familliar features such as valleys, mountains and craters. | 0 |
The future is open to many possibilities that have already have gone to the surface. Things such as upgrades to technology and new ideas for phones have been announced frequently every year at the least. Several companies around the world are trying to bring the next big thing and some like in this article are trying to change the future of the world with their new discoveries that they are trying to create. People such as Apple founder Steve Jobs and Google cofounder Sergey Brin have already presented their ideas to the world. In these cases, they strive to make their discoveries even better, safer, and more user friendly. Many people that have heard about these discoveries stand on their own side if they are for these inventions and discoveries or if they are not supportive for their own reason.
As Google cofounder Sergey Brin has publizized his new innovative ideas for self driving cars many people are for these new discoveries. I am one who stand and support Sergey Brin. These cars can change and shape the future. To my knowledge, many deaths and injuries are from wreckless driving. These are mainly the fault of the drivers that were involved. With these self driving cars the future can be more safe and can be more friendly to the user.
On the other hand, much of the hard earned money that people have earned from their jobs go to their gas that they have to get to run their cars. With self driving cars the money that they have to pay will be greatly reduced. The money that are country has to pay for is because of the high cost of gasoline. On top of this, there has been a lot of time for people by getting gas. This might reduce the stress and the lateness of people's attendance to school, work, or other events that they might be going to. With self driving cars, this can decrease the stress and lateness to certain people to school and work related subjects that they might be apart of.
With the question of if we should use self driving cars, people are against this because they don't feel like this is useful currently. They believe this because many companies have learned from their inventions through trial and error. People doubt these companies and don't believe these can be improved. They mainly focus on what has gone wrong they don't have faith that these will ever work in the future. I do not believe that these are failed inventions. I believe they are the opposite. The self driving cars are the stepping stone to the future and the hope that might still exist.
In conclusion, these self driving cars will benefit the future and the world all together. Manufacturs and companies will continue to innovate their improvements in the self driving cars. By doing this they can increase the number of positions that are opened that need to be filled. These job opprotunities are for people like me and also the people that are around us everyday who support the idea. By continuing the production of these cars, the future can be benefited. The money that we earn can be put to other things instead of the ever changing prices of gasoline that is currently essential to our mode of transportation today. I believe that the most important thing that will be changed is the ammount of deaths that occur every year from wreckless driving. By self driving cars the future is brighter and safer for all mankind and for the people that we love dearly. People might think that the world will be rather harsh in the future but with people who stand for innovative, clean, and safe inventions the future will be brighter if we stick to what we believe. So are you debating which side to take on this subject? I encourage you to stand with me and bring the hope to the future. | 4 |
The author suggests studying Venus is a worthy pursuit despite the dangers it presents.
Studying Venus can be dangerous but NASA thinks it will be a compelling idea. In "The challenge of Exploring Venus," it says "Earth and beyond should not be limited by dangers and doubts but should be expanded to meet the very edges of imagination and innovation." (8) Venus would allow scientists to float above the fray. Venus has the hottest surfaces and rocky sediment but can be our nearst option for a planetary visit.
Venus can be a hard place to go because of how dangerous. Humans have sent many spacecrafts and each mission was unmanned because the spacecraft didnt survive the landing. In "The challenge of Exploring Venus" in the text it says "Scientists seeking to conduct a thorough mission to understant Venus would need to get up close and personal despite the risk." (6). Venus conditons are not easy, but survivable for humans. Venus is a challenge but humans are trying to go and explore even with the dangers they might face.
Venus has a thick atmosphere of 97 percent carbon that covers venus. The planets temperature is over 800 degrees. In the text it says "Venus is simple to see from the distant but safe vantage point of Earth, it has proved a very challenging place to examine more closely."(1) Venus is dangerous place to visit but scientists want to risk going to gather up information and explore. Doesn't sound like a good and safe idea but the author and NASA think it's a good oppurtunity.
In conclusion in "The challenge of Exploring Venus," the author suggests "studying venus is a worthy pursuit depite the dangers it presents." There are many reason Venus is a dangerous planet to visit. The authors and scientists think it is a good idea, it says "what are the options for making such a mission both safe and scientifically productive," (4). | 2 |
Driverless cars are just a waste of people time money and safety. Driverless cars should not be invinted.
First and formost, driverless cars should not be used because what if the technology fails. If the technology fails and someone gets hurt the company would easily get blamed. Its going to cost alot for the company or the individual would have to make upgrades and more upgrades to fix the car if its not working. That's one reason driverless cars shouldn't be invinted.
Also driverless cars would be a major safety issue. Yes it would help cause less drunk drivers and texting while driving issues. Theirs laws that prevent that from happing for those people. Their should be more safety technolgoy then driverless cars that have more technology to drive insted of protect the individual. What abot the weather with the icy roads and the floods how is the car going to protect use from crashing or getting stuck. Thats another reason driver less cars shouldn't be used.
Why would anyone want a driverless car that still needs to be driven. How is it going to park or pull out drive ways are go to specific places. Google is trying to invinte a car the drive on its own but they aren't truly driverless. last reason i think driverless cars shouldn't be used
Driverless cars shouldn't be used because what if the technology fails. A majior safty issue. Why drive a car that still needs to driven. Those are my reasons that the driverless car should not be used. | 2 |
In this article we can see that the author give us many reason's why venus can be a awesome and bad star . The author says that Venus , sometimes is called "Evening Star," and that is one of the brightest points of light in the night sky, making it simple for even an amateur stargazer to spot. However, that nickname is misleading since Venus is actually a planet. In the solar system, Venus is the second planet from our sun. Other people refer to venus as the tein of the Earth because Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in the distance too. Earth,Venus,and Mars, our other planetary neighbor,orbit the sun at the different speeds. These differences in speed means that sometimes we are closer to Mars and other times to venus. The author says because Venus is sometmes right around the corner-in space terms - Humans have sent numerous spacecraft to land on Venus . After they saw that no spacecraft survived the landing for more than a few hours. They think that the issue explains why not a single spaceship has touched down on Venus in more than three decades. The atmosphere of Venus is almost 97 percent carbon dioxide . Even more challenging are the clouds if highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere. On the planet's surface , the temperatures are over 800 degrees Fahreheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on Earth. These conditions are far more extreme than anything humans encounter on Earth ; such an environment would crush even a sybmarine accustomed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and would liquefy many metals . Venus has the hottest surface temperatures of any planet in the solar system. Astronomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most like Earth . Long ago Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like earth . By sending humans to venus would be a huge risk because they knw that even doe they are making a space mashin they can also be many dangurous thing that can kill a human and in this article we can see that the author give us many reason and for my pinon if they ever would send someone I would like to hear their experienses . | 1 |
In the article "The challenge of Exploring Venus," Venus is the second closest planet to our sun, it has the same density and size as Earth. Venus is also one of our neighbor planets along with Mars but the planets Mars and Venus orbit around the sun at different speeds than Earth. The atmosphere on Venus is 97% carbon dioxide, the clowds are made of corrosive sulfuic acid, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times grater than Earth's.
The conditions for any thing living on this planet are impossible for any human to visit this planet. The text states "A thick atmospher of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere... temperature average over 800 degrees Fahrenheit...the atmospheric pressure is 90 times grater than what we exerience on our own planet." No one would survive long enough to touch the surface of this planet. The text also states "such an environment would crush even a submarine accustumed to diving to the deepest parts of our oceans and would liquefy many metals."
This proves the danger of this planet and how intrested we are to learn more about it.
Some Astronomers think that Venus was just like earth a long time ago. They think that Venus use to be capable of sustainging life just like earth. the text states "Astonomers are fascinated by Venus because it may well once have been the most Earth-like planet in our solar system..." The text also stetes "Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like earth." The Astronomers even found some evidence that there could have been lif on this planet. The text states "The planet has of rocky sediment and includes familiar features such as valleys, mountains, and craters." This may be proof that Venus may have had life billions of years in it's past.
This is what makes Venus so intresting and so dangerous. Hopefully we learn more about the planet in the near feauture and have advanced enough technology to visit the planet. | 1 |
The Face of Mars. What a discovery! This geological wonder on Mars has been very famous since its discovery in 1976. Its been seen in films, magazines, books, even at grocery stores. It's so popular that some people wonder how it came to be. One popular theory is that the Face was made by aliens, or martians if you will. I believe that theory is absurd. There are so many reasons to show that this was not made by some form of a living being.
First off, if this was made by an organism, then where r they? Why did they leave? What was their reason for making this face? Why isn't it more detailed if the beings that made this were intentionally making a face? It just doesn't add up. Besides, even if it was made by someone, wouldn't we have found some residue of civilization? When ever someone, or something, leaves a place there is always a geological hint that they were there.
That's why I believe that it was naturally made. It's not that hard to believe, actually. There are some of those naturally made landmarks here on Earth as well. For example, there was a winter in Colorado where a mountain had snow on it's side in the form of a "Y". There is also Eagle Lake in Michigan. Why is it called Eagle Lake? Because it looks like an eagle from above. So I have no doubt that this "Face on Mars" is naturually made. It was not made some alien civilization. | 2 |
Venus is one of the closest planets to Earth and is also reffered to as our sister planet. We have sent many probes to Venus, yet many have not survived more than a few hours. Venus may be very close to us compared to other planets in our solar syestem, but it is far different in its characteristics. In the article "The Challenge of Exploring Venus", the author shows how Venus is dangerous but still worthy of studying by giving us evidence and examples about Venus and its features.
The author gives us statistical evidence on how our planet is different from Venus. He explains that its temperature, atmosphere, and its acidic clouds are making the planet uninheritable for humans. The author writes, "A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. Even more challenging are the clouds that are highly corrosive sulfuric acid in Venus's atmosphere. On the planets's surface temperatures average over 800 degrees Farenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet." (3) The other spits out many facts that support his claim that exploring Venus is a very dangerous job. 800 degrees Farenheit is very hot and would not eb suitable by a human. In fact, all of these feaures would make it hard for a human to live on Venus. All these points can help prove that Venus is still worthy of studying even though there are many dangers because it should interests scientists and others to find out how these conditions came to be, what could survive in these harmful conditions, and even possibly how to make it possible for humans to live there.
The author also uses examples to support his claim that Venus is inhospitable for humans. Humans have many needs in order to survive on a planet and Venus does not qualify for many. The author writes "such an environment woud crush even a submarine accustomed to diving to teh deepest parts of our oceans and would liquify many metals." (3) In this quote the athor is referring to the pressure of the planet inside the atmosphere. If a submarine could not survive the pressure, I doubt a human could either. The author also says "Venus has the hottest surface temperature of any planet in out solar system" and it has "erupting volcanoes, powerful earthquakes, and frequent lightning strikes to probes seeking to land on its surface." This is impreessive beause even probes that are specifically made for going to Venus, cant even survive on Venus. This proves that Venus is very dangerous but still worthy of studying because it challenges scientists to find new ways of making stronger probes and new ways to study this planet that prove effective.
The author uses many peices of statictcal evidence and examples to prove his point that Venus is worthy of studying even considering the dangerous conditions. It is worthy because it has insanely harsh temperature, atmosphere, atmospheric pressure, and other harmful characteristics. Would you want to study Venus considering its deadly differences? | 3 |

imiting car usage is a great and helpful action if we do it together. It also has many benefits,, it prevents car congestion, leaves the amount of pollution in the air,. Overall , limiting car usage is healthy for you . It allows you to walk and get to where u need to go. There are many other great reasons to why limitng car usage is good and important but these are just a few.
One reason why"limiting car usage" is a big deal is because it reduces car congestion and car congestion leads to pollution little by little. For example in Source 2 ,Duffer states that Paris has more polluted air than any other European capitals, it had "147 micrograms of particulate matter (PM) per cubic meter"; meanwhile other cities had less than 120 . Car congestion also minimizes movement throughout the city.
Limiting car usage also slowly diminishes pollution in the air .Whenever the air that we breathe in is polluted , we are welcoming so many toxins into our body .Polluted air is very dangerous , especially for the little ones that breathe it in . It also can cause health problems. Air pollution also kills many of the living things on earth that we need to survive such as plants , etc.
Last but not least "limiting your car usage " is healthy for you , it allows you to walk and get where you need to go without relying on a vehicle. Also wlaking is good for you it helps you run better and work better. Also sometimes when using other means of transportation you get to where you need to go faster .
In conclusion there are many reasons why "limiting car usage is important . Its not only important for you but also for the environment and those around you. And who knows walking probably is better . | 2 |
In the story "The Challenge of Exploring Venus". The Uthor talks about the dangers in Venus and why it is not a safe place to land on. He also states the benefits of traveling to Venus, and why going to Venus is a risk worth taking
The Author states that Venus was once like planet earth, That it held Oceans, Mountains, and Craters. According to The Challenge of Exploing Venus, "Venus was probably covered largely with oceans and could have supported various forms of life, just like Earth."(The Challenge of Exploring Venus 4). In other words Venus held some sort of life at some bpoint it also had water which could help us if one day our Earth comes to and end. Furthermore, The Author also mentions that Venus is the nearest planet in case of an emergency. According to The Challenge of Exploring Venus, "Venus can sometimes be our nearest option for planetary visit, a crucial consideration given the long time frames of space travel"(The Challenge of Exloring Venus 4). Finally the Author mentions out technology and how Scientists have made new simplified electronics made of Silicon carbide that have lasted up to 3 weeks in Venus's conditions. According to The Challenge of Exploring Venus, "some simplified technology made of silicon carbide have been tested in a chamber simulating the chaos of Venus's surface and have lasted three weeks in such conditions" (The Challenge of Exploring Venus). This means that we eventually would be able to visit Venus's surface without dying within a few hours, which woud help us learn way more about teh planet.
To conclude, traveling to venus is dangerous but with the amount of information we know and the amount of technology we have we will be able to surface Venus once and for all. Venus holds a lot of things that will benefit our lives. | 2 |
In the passagae "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" ,The auther supports the detail really well he gives valeis information about the story and about if venus is closer to the sun and it goes around the surface. It also talks about how humans ay be able to live on it someday and make it a earth like planit. but more importantly sciencetest cannot take rock our gas from it because it is impossible for them to do it. Like us NASA
is working on other studyes to try to get us to go over there and stay there to make it a earth like home. They want to send a human into space to go to venes but the surface friction there is supper high. And Venes is the twin to the sun. An the secound name for Venus is "Evening Star". because it brights up the sjy at night time. | 0 |
A new hom
whould you send someone to explore venus with the technology that we haave
right now? the author of the article
the challege of exploring venus made some
very import points about
why
we sohould explore venus.
the author believes that even. that is worthy exploring venus using old tecnology and new tecnology for example. the mechamical computers, NASA's idea of the ships and the new materials that were being testes
firt of all the author explains the old technology that is used ti be use in
during
the 1940 word war two by making
calculations using
gears and
levers. no electronic were needed for this computer. the only problem would be that the the computers are very delicated when is put to extreme conditions.
secondly the author mentions an idea that NASA
has that he explains could
to very useful for exploring venus.
the author
explains that venus has a very high temperature but the vehicle would hover
30 miles over
from
the surface of venus where is would
avoid bad graounds. this idea that
NASA
has come up
to its
a good way
for humans
to vivit
and explore venus.
lastly the author believes
thea venus
is not
to
diferent from earth
and
in the right conditions
humans could
be living is venus. the author
mentions how scients
believed
that venus.
is the
is the planet
with the more like earth
and how
it could posibly at one
time had
oceans
research on venus
could also explain
that venus
at one
point
could
have and
maintain
life forms this is why it would be wortly for humanns
to explore venus because it could posibly be the nex
earth
in conclutions
the author
brought many points of why
we sould keed on good
undertanding about the exploration
venus. | 1 |
Today, I will disguse why people should goin in the "Seagoing Cowboys" program. I will be talking about, how you could have fun, make friend's, and see place's you've never seen befor.
First, You could go place's you'e never been befor, you could try new food's that you neve had tasted.
Next, It also give you chance of to make new friend's. You coould also get a chance to try new food's, why you are there.
Lastly, You will get to sail on the ocean, as never befor, you can go site seeing with other peole that you have meet.
It will be fun because, you will get to see "Europe, Greece, China, and so many more". You could make friend's on the ship, as you are working. It will also be good because, you could show other people around just like Luke did. You could
take "Gondola" ride's in Venice, Italy which is a city with streets of water. The claim is that, over all you would have fun and the world could open up to you, as Luke said " I'm grateful for this opportunity, it made me more aware of people of the other countries, and their need's. In conclusion, this esay explain why you should goin the "Seagoing Cowboys", and how you could make friend's, have fun, and see place's you've never seen. It can also, give you an opportunity to open up to the world. Also, if alduts or teenagers want to help, and make a diffrence this program could help. | 2 |
The author makes a very good case about going to Venus, but there are many dangers about going there. One example of those dangers is the average tempature of 800 degrees Fahrenheit. Another one of those dangers is the atmospheric pressure. The atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than the ones found here on Eath.
The author suggests ways that could make those danger less noticeable. One way the author suggests this is by a project that The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has been working on. The project is a huge blimp like aircraft. It would travel 30 miles up in the atmosphere and have an average tempature of 170 degrees Fahrenheit. This would also make it possiable to have humans in the atmosphere of Venus.
So in conclution Venus is a worthy pursit. The author did make a good argument that it is worthy to explore Venus, but i would not like to go to Venus anytime soon. Those are just a couple of ways that the author supports the idea that it is worthy to pursue the idea of exploring Venus. | 1 |
Dear Senator,
I was recently was informed that the electrol collge system is going under. It helps use with our votes. If we lose it certain American citizens votes will not be counted in for the president election. I believe that we American citizens should be able to vote. Our votes should all matter. We as a nation are one. One vote we all should be able to vote.
To begin with,
We hold our next presidnet in our hands. Thats why we should change the election by popular votes. If everybody over the age of 21 votes all of our votes would be counted in and we would pick our president. We should also keep the electrol college so congress helps our nation to vote also. Because if we give this country over to the wrong president our country could fall and we could go under. One of the reasons that our country is still standing today is because we as a nation have pick a great president, without hessition. Back in the old days we didnt have a right to vote. We are blessed to be able to vote and a system like the electrol college today. If we lose the electrol college we lose hope and faith that our country we be still standing.
In conclusion,
We americans are sometimes not greatful for the things we have but without we are lost. Senator we need your help. Without the electrol citizen we lose hope on our country. Please let us down. | 1 |
I dont think we should keep the electoral college. I think we should abolish it. My reason is because we are not doing what we said we were going to do back when we signed the Constitution. We said that we were going to let the people vote for who was going to govern us. It's not fair to the people if they're wasting their time.
I think that it isn't fair to the people of America that they dont get to really pick the president of the U.S. I think that people should vote for the president not for slate of electors. I also dont think it's fair that sometimes their vote counts and sometimes it doesn't. What if the government would have pick the president back in the 1960's? We would probably be still having marches against segregation and marches for voting rights.
I know that the electoral college has some benefits, like avoiding "the problems of election in which no candidate receives a majority of the votes cast". Like in 1968 Nixon had 43 percent of the popular vote. Also in 1992 Clinton had 43 percent of the popular vote as well. The run-off elections come with a extreme amount of pressure. But it really complicates the process of the presidental election. However, the pressure is reduced by the electoral college. On the other hand some states like California and Texas's votes have no effect at that point.
Voters in the presidental election are people that want their vote to count. But we're not letting that vote count if we let the electoral college vote for us and choose who the president is. So we should just let the peolpe vote who the want. | 2 |
Senator, my name is PROPER_NAME. In my opinion i strongly think that we should not keep the Electroral College process. A process that elect the president by a vote in congress is unfair to the people. I have my reason for thinking that way.
Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the president, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the president. The people of the United States want to be able to vote for whomever they think is right to lead this country. If the people is going to have a leader, i think that they shoud be able to choose that leader themselves.
The electoral college is unfair to voters. Electors have occasionally refused to vote for their party's condidate and cast a deciding vote for whomever they please. The people do not even know who the electors really are. Ask yourself this, who picks the electors?. We all know its not the people, its sometimes state conventions, sometimes the sate party's central, and sometimes the presidential condidates themselves. What we all asking is, can voters control whom their electors vote for? Not always.
Sometimes the voters get confused about the electors and vote for the wrong candidate. The electoral college is what we might call the disaster factor. Consider that state legislatures are technically responsible for picking electors, and that those electors could always defy the will of the people. Imagine how the people feel about this, The electoral college is just unfair, outdated, and irrational.

The Face Was Created by Landform
The Face, a well known landmark on the planet of Mars, is a landmark that has caused NASA a lot of debate. The debate is "Was The Face created by aliens, or was it created by natural landform?". This has caused NASA and many scientists to have problems, because there are a few scientists that believe that The Face was created by aliens.
The Face was originally discover in 1976, by the photographers aboard NASA's Viking 1 spacecraft. In the picture taken in 1976, you can clearly see a face in the landform. But in the picture taken in 1998, the atmosphere was extremely cloudy, so if there was any indention in Mars's base, you couldn't see it because of the clouds. Because of this, scientists went out on another attempt to capture a good image of The Fcae on Mars, and they succeeded.
The picture that was taken in 2001 clearly showed that The Face was no longer there, which lead scientists to believe that it was a combination of natural landform and the shadows casted from the sun's rays that made that particular spot look like | 1 |
The article "Making Mona Lisa Smile" is very useful to a classroom computer, it would help make the students interested to learn about the subject they are learning about. The article talks about how the FACS (Facial Action Coding System) acually works, by someone showing an emotion in front of the computer, the computer can track your facial structure by your facial muscles.
In paragraph 1, the article is talking about how Mona Lisa cually feels in the picture becacuse it shows that Mona Lisa is 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry. In paragraph 4, the article is talking about how the computer is using video imagery, as a way of telling how you would feel, as if your smiling but not as broad as someone would if they were acually happy. In paragraph 6, the computer could track your facial structure to see your emotion on what your mood would be, by giving the situation of when a student saw an ad on his computer, if he were to smile then the next ad that pops up would be similar, but if a ad popped up and you would frown then the next ad that would pop up would be different. it would help in a classroom by seeing if the student is enjoying the subject they are learning about, because if someone likes somthing they would become more involved in the subject, if a teacher is trying to see what the students were interested in, the computer would be able to track the true emotion of a student. instead of a student acting like he likes it or faking to speed things up in the lesson or getting it over with, the computer would still track the person's true emotion by seeing in the emotion is too broad. even if the computer would cost too much or if it wouldn't be vlauable enough to instal it on every computer it would be worth it to keep the students entertained and paying close attention on the lesson. | 1 |
Dr. Thomas Huang and his colleague are experts at "caculating" emotions threw tecnolagy. scaned on a computer a humans emotion is listed in percentage of its emotions and its percentages.In order to do so theres a model that must move like a human as a 3-D model to caculate.
Creater of FACS (Facial Action Coding System) Dr. Paul Eckman , classified six basic emotions-happiness, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness.all these emotions can be anilized by the computer recognition. Even though there a computer that can figure your percentage of emotions, us humans can tell each others emotions on a daily.For example when your close friend or family member is gloomy looking in the face cant you ussally tell? Yes of couse, we mostly have problems trying to actually describing each trait, but we still understand.
Its as if there trying to make people closer and bettwer with the tecnolagy we use on a daily so we have a better understanding.Whats so wrong with that? | 0 |
