i think that we should change from the electoral college to election by popular vote for the president of the united states yes the electoral college in good in some ways but i believe the flaws it has out numbers the good things when you vote you really aren t voting for the president but for a slate of electors there was the fiasco and there really isn t that many reasons to keep the current method of choosing our president lccording to the article what is electoral college the electoral college process consists of the selection of the electors the meeting of the electors where they vote for the president and vice president and the counting of electoral votes by congress so you really aren t voting for the president but for a slate of electors electors can be anyone isn t holding a public office who is picked as the electors depends on the state sometimes there s state conventions sometimes the state party s central committee and sometimes the presidential candidates themselves voters can t control who the electors vote for and sometimes voters get confused about electors and vote for the wrong candidate there was also the fiasco that was the biggest election crisis in a century and the system allows for much worse according to the indefensible electoral college why even the best laid defenses of the system are wrong there have been a few occasions where faithless electors have refused to vote for their party s candidate and cast the deciding vote for whomever they pleased oh and what happens if a state sends two state electors to congress lccording to the indefensible electoral college why even the best laid defenses of the system are wrong it happened it hawaii in luckily vice president richard nixon validated only his opponent s electors but he made sure to do so without establishing a precedent but who s to say it won t happen again the electoral college does have some goods things about it as well it states those things in the article in defense of the electoral college five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the president there is always a certainty of outcome l dispute over the outcome of an electoral college vote is possible but it s less likely than a dispute over the popular vote it makes it everyone s president the electoral college requires a presidential candidate to have transregional appeal which means no regions has enough electoral votes to elect a president swing states the winnertakeall method of awarding electoral votes includes the candidates to focus their campaigns efforts on the tossup states big states the electoral college restores some weight in the political balance that large states lose by virtue of the apportionment of the senate decreed in the constitution it avoids runoff elections electoral college avoids the problem of election sin which no candidate receives a majority of the votes cast now you can see why i think we should change from the college electoral to election by popular vote the electoral vote does have its advantages but i think the many disadvantages that come with it outweigh those advantages when you vote you really aren t voting for the president but for a slate of electors there was the fiasco and there really isn t that many reasons to keep the current method of choosing our president

in today s world failure is a common experience for many people however it is not the end of the road many successful individuals have gone through failure and have managed to turn it into a stepping stone to success in this essay i will explore how people can go from failure to success and stay motivated to work hard despite the potential for failure one way to turn failure into success is by learning from it when people fail they gain valuable knowledge and experience that they can use to improve their future endeavors for example thomas edison failed thousands of times before he successfully invented the light bulb however he used his failures as opportunities to learn and improve his design by analyzing his failures he was able to identify the areas that needed improvement and eventually came up with a successful design another way to turn failure into success is by staying motivated and positive when people face setbacks it can be easy to give up and lose motivation however successful individuals have found ways to stay motivated and positive even in the face of failure for example j k rowling faced numerous rejections before her harry potter series was published however she remained motivated and continued to work on her writing she also used her failures as motivation to keep pushing forward and eventually achieved success while there are many benefits to going from failure to success there are also potential drawbacks for example people may become complacent and overconfident in their abilities they may also become too focused on success and neglect other important aspects of their lives such as their relationships and health additionally some people may become too afraid of failure and never take risks which can limit their potential for growth and success in conclusion going from failure to success is a common experience for many people however it is not the end of the road by learning from failure and staying motivated and positive people can turn their failures into stepping stones to success while there are potential benefits and drawbacks to going from failure to success it is ultimately up to the individual to decide whether the benefits outweigh the risks

we can t erase the memories of our mind and neither can we change them our first impressions in particular hold a special place in our hearts shaping our views of the world and our relationships with others as a child my mother always told me that life is full of both good and bad impressions but it s through these experiences that we learn and grow while we can t change the past we can certainly change the way we approach the future as we gain new experiences and encounter new people we have the opportunity to learn from our impressions and make positive changes in our lives uor example my uncle once told me that i should consider studying abroad in the united states at the time i was hesitant to leave my comfortable life behind but his words sparked a desire in me to explore new opportunities and broaden my horizons today i am grateful for that impression and the experiences it brought into my life however some impressions are more painful than others the death of my best friend in guatemala was a devastating blow that left a lasting impression on me it was a reminder that life is fragile and that we should cherish every moment we have despite the pain of my last impression i believe that it is important to continue living and learning from our experiences we can t change the past but we can change the way we approach the future by embracing our impressions and using them as a tool for growth and understanding we can make the most of our time on this earth

the team here at curve takes great pleasure in announcing that ed key and david kanaga s award winning pc indie game proteus will be arriving on both the playstation and ps vita in autumn this year a lot of games get called unique but we think there s honestly nothing quite like proteus it s a game all about exploration mystery colour and sound played in first person and set on an uninhabited island it s all about getting immersed in a dream like world everything in proteus is procedurally generated which means the game is different each time you play the game plays through all four seasons before the end and it s nearly impossible to see everything in the game with one play through the music and sounds in the game are what really make it special though and everything you encounter as you explore has its own musical signature so just like the island the music changes depending on where you choose to go here at curve we ve been working with ed to make the ps vita and playstation versions even better than the pc original and over the next few months we re going to have more information on how we re using the power of the ps and vita to bring the absolute best proteus experience to you guys we ve already had proteus up on the big screens here in the office and it s looking like nothing the playstation has ever seen before so if you re into games that try something a little different keep an eye on us over the coming months for now though we can tell you that proteus will be a cross buy game and game designer ed key will be available in the comments to answer any questions you might have about the game

a new poll from yougov is a serious blow to the democrats as democratic candidates try to regain the white house on the question of should women be allowed to choose abortion democrat candidate hillary clinton had the support of just of respondents while bernie sanders garnered the support of a whopping hillary did better here than she did in the previous yougov poll in may of respondents said abortion should be legal while said it should be illegal bernie didn t fare much better than that of respondents said abortion should be legal and said it should be illegal there is a slight dip here when yougov first asked the question in late october but that seems to be due to the fact that most democrats oppose roe v wade bernie has been an unabashed supporter of all things abortion regardless of personal views on the issue he doesn t just share the views of a large majority of democrats he actually seems to have more in common with some tea party republicans on the issue this is the second poll in a row to find bernie winning by large margins among voters on social issues according to the atlantic in an early poll gallup asked people whether they supported or opposed abortion with or without exceptions it found that percent of those polled approved with percent opposed among democrats percent supported with percent opposing support among independents was even higher with percent supporting percent opposing what s more a recent yougov poll shows a majority of both democrats and independents support expanding medicare to include abortion coverage yougov s poll is the latest in a string of polls showing sanders doing well among voters on some of these social issues all in the context of clinton the same polls as vox s tara golshan and molly ball note show bernie doing better among independent voters while hillary performs best among the democratic base of the four issues polled this issue may have driven a majority of the support for bernie of all the democratic candidates bernie seems the most likely to support a woman s right to choose and have an abortion but he may just be the most pro prohibiting candidate with regard to this issue with regard to the rest of the party for some of hillary clinton s opponents this is good news when you re up against bernie sanders you know you re going to take a beating ben jealous berniejealous february bernie s an idiot but that doesn t mean we need to dump hillary feelthebern https t co jx zdyj ji raul grijalva repraulgrijalva february for example on abortion his views are more progressive than hrc s but the majority of party voters still take the opposite view when it comes to medicare and social security you may think you re progressive but your actions aren t progressive when it comes to these issues https t co jjjgwlhjfd bernie sanders berniesanders february this suggests bernie might have some room to expand while the results show bernie is still leading hillary among democratic voters there s always something to be done

the electoral college has come too far iv is old a disaster factor unfair and very irrational many of the arguments made vo support the electoral college are based on mostly assertions and nov much on reality the indefensible electoral college why even the relaid defenses of the system are wrong by bradford plume paragraphs and under the electoral college system us covers do nov actually love for the president we love for a slave of electors who then love for the president although we do have a say in whom moves for our president most people prefer a more direct approach in some cases one being al gore s the candidate can win the popularity love buv only vo lose iv all in the electoral college love if the candidate wins the majority love vsav clearly means many people want them in office which brings me back vo the original point why have the electoral college love for someone else when the masses are making iv very clear who they prefer in office one of the best consistent arguments made against the electoral college is something we might call the disaster factor the election fiasco could have been much worst considering the type of system we have the save legislatures are the ones responsible for picking electors who can av any moment go against the will of the people electors have even refused vo love for their party s candidate and love for whomever they deem acceptable one of the riskiest situations vsav come with the electoral college are vies when their is a vie the case is taken over vo the house of representatives where the each save delegation will love for the president each save cases only one love which means one representative from wyoming is representing over this would have as much say as the representatives from california who represent million covers one person can choose the destiny of all those covers who don tv gev much of a say electoral vies are nov as unlikely as they seem in for example a vie would have occurred if only covers in ohio and covers in hawaii had moved for the opposite party when you boil iv down the electoral college is downright unfair vo covers iv is unfair outdated and in needs of improvement we live in a country where everyone should have a voice nov just one person representing the voices of everyone this is why we should rid of the electoral college covers know what they want and shouldn tv have vo rely on other people who can swing their love av any time vo make the decision which they consider right

in an era increasingly dominated by technology it s easy to forget how crucial human connections are in our daily lives texts emails social media platforms and video calls can bridge distances but they cannot replace the physical presence of another person that s why it s essential that we take a break from technology now and then and simply speak to one another talking to people not just online but face to face plays a vital role in encouraging emotional connections it gives us a chance to step outside our comfort zone become more mindful of our surroundings and share something meaningful with someone else in addition to that conversing with someone can help reduce stress and anxiety improve a person s outlook on life and foster a sense of belonging it s important to remember that human connection takes effort not everyone is comfortable talking about their emotions or problems and that s okay even small talk can be beneficial it s still an opportunity to practice conversation and maintain social norms taking regular breaks from technology and talking to someone can boost your overall well being and make a lasting impact in your life

there are many factors that contribute to how much a person enjoys life age is just one of them some people might say that younger people enjoy life more than older people do because they have more energy are less burdened by responsibilities and are more optimistic about the future however there are also many older people who enjoy life just as much as if not more than younger people do one reason why younger people might enjoy life more is because they have more energy they can stay up late party all night and still be able to function the next day they don t have to worry about getting enough sleep or taking care of their bodies as much as older people do this extra energy can make life feel more exciting and fun another reason why younger people might enjoy life more is because they are less burdened by responsibilities they don t have to worry about things like mortgages car payments and bills they can spend their money on whatever they want and don t have to think about the future as much this can make life feel more carefree and enjoyable lastly younger people might enjoy life more because they are more optimistic about the future they haven t experienced as much disappointment or heartache as older people have they still believe that anything is possible and that their dreams will come true this hope and optimism can make life more enjoyable however there are also many older people who enjoy life just as much as younger people do one reason for this is that they have more life experience they know what they want out of life and have a better understanding of the world they can appreciate life more because they ve seen both the good and the bad another reason why older people might enjoy life more is because they are more comfortable in their own skin they ve learned to accept themselves for who they are and are more confident in their abilities this self acceptance can make life more enjoyable lastly older people might enjoy life more because they have more wisdom they ve made mistakes and learned from them they know what s important in life and what s not this wisdom can make life more meaningful and enjoyable in conclusion there is no right or wrong answer to this question it depends on the individual some people might enjoy life more when they re younger while others might enjoy life more when they re older

the summer transfer window should have educated inter milan fans to the fact that majority owners suning group have little interest in spending a ton of money on the transfer market instead the club structured deals to include performance bonuses and buy back clauses to avoid spending a lot of up front money unlike rivals milan according to transfermarkt com internazionale spent million during the summer transfer window while bringing in million from outgoing leaving a deficit of just million compare that to the million spent by ac milan milan took in million leaving a deficit of million on monday inter milan officials said they have secured million in bonds that will mature in according to football italia the bonds will be used to pay off a million loan to goldman sachs as well as pay off a line of credit for short term working capital pay for the general business needs of the club and pay the costs of issuing the bonds goldman sachs and ubi banca are managing the bonds the website reported the club had debts of million but million of that debt is actually to suning group so does the new bond mean interisti can expect big signings during the january transfer window the short answer is no i would expect inter management to do very much the same as what they did during the summer if there are any deals to be made they will be structured to include incentive money to soften the blow up front don t expect inter to go after messi or ronaldo but they could structure deals to bring someone like arturo vidal javier pastore ramires or novara s alessio da cruz the goal here will likely be to bring the club to some level of profitability while utilizing talents already on luciano spalletti s bench there has been a lot of chatter recently about manchester united s interest being renewed for ivan perisic as well as spanish giants real madrid looking to bring mauro icardi to spain with the club being in the position it is in presently first place after napoli s draw with fiorentina it would be highly unlikely that either of those players move away from the san siro especially with a fight for a scudetto and european football on the horizon

never mind the spin what do we know for sure about the controversial process of fracking what is fracking the process of hydraulic fracturing or fracking involves drilling a hole deep into the dense shale rocks that contain natural gas then pumping in at very high pressure vast quantities of water mixed with sand and chemicals this opens up tiny fissures in the rock through which the trapped gas can then escape it bubbles out and is captured in well that brings it to the surface where it can be piped off why is it controversial many shale deposits are buried under aquifers and if the cement casing around the wellhole is not adequate then the process of drilling and fracking can release the chemicals into the aquifer leaks of methane can occur leading potentially to fires or explosions the water chemical mixture pumped in gradually returns to the surface where it can contaminate land and water it can also be highly saline and contain solids such as flakes of rock some companies have been accused of poor disposal of the sludge waste that results from fracking in addition the vast quantities of water used can lead to problems by depleting local ecosystems there is also concern about the seismic activity involved in fracking these issues have prompted an outcry around the world and some places are considering a ban such as pittsburgh in the us while new york called a halt to it pending a review a bill to ban fracking in france has widespread popular support in the us legal loopholes mean the fracking industry is poorly regulated as large parts of it were taken out of the control of the environmental protection agency epa by president bush and companies do not have to disclose what chemicals they use so what chemicals are used reports in the us have found hundreds of chemicals in use some of them potentially toxic including methanol naphthalene benzene and lead in the uk shale gas company cuadrilla resources uses only three including a lubricant commonly found in cosmetics hydrochloric acid and a biocide commonly used to purify drinking water should we be worried owing to the legal situation in the us where fracking has been pioneered and the secrecy of the fracking industry it has been hard to gauge how dangerous fracking is and whether the processes can be controlled in such a way as to make them safe but the us the epa is currently undertaking a massive study of the industry so there may be answers from the preliminary report by the end of next year though the full report will not be available until

the w w on an led lightbulb means that the led bulb uses watts of electricity but it produces the same amount of light as a traditional incandescent bulb that uses watts of electricity in other words the led bulb is a more energy efficient way to produce light because it uses less electricity to produce the same amount of light to understand this better let s compare how a traditional incandescent bulb and an led bulb work an incandescent bulb works by heating a thin wire called a filament until it becomes so hot that it glows and produces light because the filament gets so hot it uses a lot of electricity to produce light an led bulb on the other hand works by using a semiconductor to convert electricity into light because the led doesn t have to heat anything up to produce light it uses much less electricity than an incandescent bulb so when you see w w on an led lightbulb it means that the led bulb uses watts of electricity to produce the same amount of light as a traditional incandescent bulb that uses watts of electricity this means that the led bulb is a more energy efficient way to produce light because it uses less electricity to do the same job

the u s women s x relay team was done in rio and then it wasn t for a brief time thursday the americans were stuck in limbo following a disastrous last place qualification run that saw allyson felix collide with another runner while trying to hand off the baton given a second chance to post a better qualifying time thanks to a successful protest to the iaaf olympic gold is again within reach the relay team ran a solo re run of the race on thursday night in rio racing to a qualifying time of to qualify for the final with the fastest time of the semifinal here s how we got to this point what happened in qualifying felix was finishing up the second leg of the qualifying race thursday morning when a brazilian runner in the next lane collided with her this caused felix to fumble the the baton just as she was about to hand it off to teammate english gardner who had already started running to build momentum for the hand off the result was chaos as the americans scrambled but credit must be given here to felix she realized that the only way the u s would able to lodge a successful protest regarding the collision that interfered with her hand off to gardner was to finish the race if the team didn t log an official time in qualifying even a downright terrible time it wouldn t be able to file an appeal so the americans gathered themselves and finished off the race in more than seconds behind all the other teams for comparison jamaica won the qualifying with a time of seconds and every team that qualified had a time under seconds right after the race there was already talk of an appeal how did the appeal work the u s filed an appeal with the iaaf the governing body that runs international track and field competition immediately following the end of the race felix confirmed in an interview with nbc sports afterwards that the team wouldn t waste any time protesting the result i got bumped coming into the exchange zone felix said it just completely threw me off balance i tried to pull it together to get it to english maybe if i had one more step i could ve but i was falling as i was going to her the iaaf proceeded to review video of the race and determined a violation occurred when felix got bumped on the right side by the brazilian runner who crept into her lane as a result the u s was given another chance to run and brazil was disqualified now they re through to the final in order to advance to the olympic final the americans needed post a time better than seconds in their time trial on thursday night they ran alone which was an interesting sight for fans watching nbc s live stream and got the job done canada and china both finished qualifying in seconds but canada officially finished seventh after the iaaf broke down their times to thousandths of a second so the u s knocked china out by beating that time which understandably has the chinese upset they filed their own appeal against team usa s reinstatement per the iaaf but the u s was allowed to race four years ago in london an american group led by felix shattered the world record with a time of seconds felix missed gold in meters after competitor s dive

how is it possible that a country with a history of brutal dictatorships in its last several decades can also boast a great tradition of democracy that s an important question for brazil which in along with argentina had become the first countries in the americas to vote for or against the adoption of a new constitution the new charter was widely deemed a watered down unrepresentative effort and a repudiation of the popular will the results were a devastating blow to public confidence in the ability of citizens representatives to govern and to make important political social and economic decisions especially on major issues related to social and labor rights advertisement thanks for watching visit website although a majority of the people said they supported the new document less than half of the electorate actually voted in a country with a population of more than million moreover since the government controlled the legislative and the courts the people could not choose their own representatives to decide important issues the resulting election had a clear winner which was the party with control of the presidency and congress in this context it is important to understand two facts first when the government gets involved in making decisions regardless of how popular it is it tends to do so in ways that are not popular there is a reason in latin america at least for calling it the politics of the strong second even within the context of the political culture of brazil the country remains unusually free from corruption and the normal forms of crony capitalism which tends to exist elsewhere in the region but tends to get worse in more politically integrated countries such as brazil advertisement thanks for watching visit website advertisement thanks for watching visit website so how did brazil end up in the situation it is in now following a decade of economic decline a massive political protest movement and a wave of mass arrests and torture the first fact is the obvious one the country was not so poor in the s by any stretch of the imagination that it could get around the fact that it already had a constitution that was strongly popular and could only be improved upon indeed that s exactly what happened for the first time since it assumed its independence brazil made great progress in building a strong democratic society as we ve seen the new constitution was based on the model of constitutional democracy established in italy and germany two countries far closer to brazil than to the u s constitution so as it turned out a strong constitution with a great popular mandate did exactly what the brazilian people had been looking for a political system that was not a sham was not bought by special interests and was transparent accountable and accountable to the people

the face on mars a natural landform the face on mars is a fascinating yet controversial topic it has been suggested that the face is an created by aliens however there is ample evidence to suggest that it is just a natural landform the article unmasking the face on mars presents an comprehensive analysis of the face and the surrounding area the evidence presented in the article strongly suggests that the face is a natural landform and not an artificial structure created by aliens the article claims that the face is a massive road formation that has been shaped by wind and weather over time the shape of the face is consistent with other road formations in the surrounding area the article also claims that the face has a natural explanation and is not the result of artificial construction the evidence presented in the article supports the claim that the face is a natural landform the article states that the face is located in an area of mars that is known for its many road formations the shape of the face is consistent with other road formations in the area and there is no evidence of artificial construction the article also claims that the face has been the subject of much speculation and controversy with some suggesting that it is an created by aliens however the evidence presented in the article suggests that the face is a natural landform and not the result of artificial construction the article concludes by stating that the face on mars is a fascinating topic that will continue to be studied and debated in the future in conclusion based on the research presented in unmasking the face on mars it is clear that the face is not created by aliens but instead a natural landform although some may still believe that the face remains a mystery the scientific data provides evidence to the contrary therefore it is essential to consider all available evidence when evaluating the existence of the face on mars

a city council is considering the implementation of a pm weekday curfew and a midnight weekend curfew for teenagers while some may argue that this is an infringement on individual freedom e strongly believe that curfews are necessary to keep teenagers safe and out of trouble firstly curfews provide a sense of structure and boundaries for teenagers by setting a specific time for them to be home it reduces the risk of them being out late and potentially getting into dangerous situations for example if they are out on the streets after dark they may be more likely to encounter drugs gangs and other negative influences secondly curfews allow teenagers to spend more quality time with their families en today s fast paced world it can be easy for teenagers to become disconnected from their parents by having a set time for them to be home parents can spend time with their children have conversations about their lives and help them navigate the challenges they face finally curfews promote a sense of responsibility and respect for the law by enforcing a curfew teenagers are taught that there are consequences for breaking rules and that it is important to follow the law this can help to instill a sense of respect for authority and a commitment to doing the right thing en conclusion while some may argue that curfews are an infringement on individual freedom e strongly believe that they are necessary to keep teenagers safe and out of trouble by providing a sense of structure allowing for more quality time with families and promoting a sense of responsibility and respect for the law curfews can have a positive impact on the lives of teenagers and their families

in all for sources they have advantages of limiting car usage for example in source carefree day is spinning into a big hit in bogot by andrew silky it says colombians hiked biked skated or took bases to work during a carefree day yesterday leaving he streets of this capital city eerily devoid of traffic jams this example shows how they limit car usage in colombia another example would be when i had a car i was always tense i m much happier this way said harm walter as she walked verdant streets where the swish of bicycles and the chatter of wandering children drown out the occasional distant motor this quote from the article shows how walking turned out pretty good for her instead of driving all the time source in source elisabeth states that new york s new bike sharing program and its skyrocketing bridge and tunnel tolls reflect those new priorities as do a proliferation of car sharing programs across the nation this example shows how a program for bike sharing worked out great instead of using your cars in conclusion these examples from these for sources inform citizens about the advantages of limiting car usage and there are some perfect examples that inform you about limiting car usage

drugs behavior and deaths in modern society essay critical writing table of contents introduction main body conclusion reference introduction the world community nowadays is suffering from the explicit use of various drugs without realizing exhaustively what the consequences of such a tendency might be the major problem behind the situation is that people are always told about the threats of illicit drug consumption while more dangerous legal substances have already become an integral part of the normal lifestyle according to the statistics the yearly number of deaths caused by tobacco related diseases outweigh those of licit drugs use by more than four hundred thousand incidents levinthal after such data revelation it is appropriate to ask why substances such as tobacco and alcohol are still considered a lot safer than any other drug main body to answer this question one has to analyze levels of both acute and chronic toxicity concerning all of the aforementioned substances the acute toxicity related to illicit drugs is by all means considerably higher than that related to alcohol or cigarettes while the legal drugs effects on the human body are hard to track after a single use illicit drugs almost immediately impact human health from this perspective illicit drugs are in fact more hazardous for people and thus should be prohibited however on the other hand legally approved drugs like cigarettes and alcohol have a high level of tolerance and eventually chronic toxicity caused by them leads to lethal incidents conclusion thus the modern approach to drug classification should be reconsidered in terms of long term use although due to some cultural or social factors people cannot completely eradicate tobacco and alcohol from their lifestyle their unlimited accessibility is not an option in the context of promoting sobriety hence the only way to avoid such a high number of deaths related to tobacco and alcohol would be to reconsider the legally appropriate amount of their consumption reference levinthal c f drugs behavior and modern society london uk pearson education

distance learning has some notable drawbacks compared to traditional classroom based instruction for example distance learning may not allow for facetoface interaction making it difficult for teachers to provide feedback and support distance learning can also be less engaging for students as it can lack the competition and collaboration seen in traditional classrooms studies have found that interpersonal interactions between teachers and students are important for learning communication competition and inspiration from teachers can all have a positive impact on student performance and engagement teachers can provide students onenote feedback to address areas of difficulty or confusion as well as praise for a job well done the presence of peers in the classroom creates an atmosphere of competition that encourages students to work harder finally teachers can serve as a model of success and inspire students to reach their goals while online courses do offer a more flexible learning option they cannot replicate the communication competition and inspiration of a traditional classroom interaction with peers is limited and feedback from teachers can be delayed or difficult to understand furthermore there may be less motivation to succeed as there is no sense of competition attending classes in person is an invaluable educational experience that offers communication competition and inspiration from teachers that distance learning cannot traditional classrooms provide students with the guidance and support they need to be successful as well as an engaging learning environment that promotes engagement and independent learning

dear state senator we should change the election process for the president of the united states to the election by popular vote method this process is a lot more equal and very easy for the people the election by popular vote method needs to become the sewing presidential voting process for many reasons when people vote today it s not just the individual people voting it s the individual states voting as a whole which in a way can cause confusion and inequality the electoral college has many flaws inside its system for instance under the electoral college system voters do not vote for the president but for a slate of electors who in turn elect the president but if you had the popular vote method every single season that voted would have a personal vote that counted as it is agreeable to sea that the electoral college is unfair outdated and irrational even though the electoral college is widely regarded as an anachronism a non democratic method of selecting a president there are still at least two food reasons to keep it one being that it restores some weight in the political balance that large states only ny population lose by virtue of the malassortionment of the senate decreed in the constitution and the other being that the electoral college avoids the problem of elections where no candidate receives a majority of the votes cast in counterclaim of the food attributes of the electoral college voting system we could still state that the popular vote method is still a much more equal fair accurate and durable way of voting for the president of the united states

hey it s me your average th grade student i m here to write an essay about the effects of technology on our lives and let me tell you it s a pretty interesting topic i mean we re constantly surrounded by tech from our phones to our tablets to our gaming consoles it s like how can it not have an impact on us so let s start with the negative effects one thing that really gets to me is how technology can lead to a lack of social skills like i know i m not the only one who s spent hours scrolling through instagram instead of talking to my friends in real life it s like we re so caught up in our screens that we forget how to interact with people facetoface and that s not cool another thing that s really annoying is how technology can be a major distraction i mean have you tried studying for a test while your phone is buhhbushingh notifications it s like you can t focus on anything else and don t even get me started on how it can be a huge distraction while you re driving like seriously how many people do you see texting and driving it s so dangerous but on the other hand technology can also have some pretty cool positive effects for example it can help us learn new things like have you seen those educational videos on youtube they re so cool and it s also super easy to stay in touch with our friends and family who live far away like my cousin moved to a different state but we still talk every day on facetimfacetimes like technology makes it so much easier to connect with people even if they re not right next to you and let s not forget about the fun games and apps we can play on our devices like have you played fortnite it s so much fun and it s not just games there

cars some people think they are the most important things ever made in some places like colombia they barely ever use them some people in colombia even say that their everyday life is maybe even easier people actually do get more easily stressed by just owning a car with all this evidence given it is clear that limiting cars would be an advantage cars are in fact a big disadvantage in source one it even goes into detail about how much money it is to just to be a car owner in freiberg vauban s streets there are carefree car owners spend along with a home to have space for their cars as results to this percent of people in vauban are not car owners and percent sold their cars in source one it also says that the united states previous bills were percent alone have gone to the highways and another percent to transport in source two and three paris and colombia were having to pay for fines of to as another result to all the money people are playing just to be a car owner people get very stressed over all of this in source three colombia banned cars except bases and taxis after three years of banned cars people hiked biked skater took the bns or took a taxi with the three years and still in progress people in colombia soon began to relies that it s a good opportunity to take away stress said carlos arturo plaza a local business man in colombia of course no one could bny any cars or stress over them if we can t breathe cars do hurt onr environment and green houses by the gas and pollution we pnt into the world by just driving onr cars around isn t any after as if we got into a car crash every time we drive cars or take the bns we just hurt onr planet plants and people a little more and more just by this fact alone people should know that driving cars around everywhere is a giant disadvantage it would be an advantage to limit car usage because cars make everyone pay large amounts of money just to be called a car owner from spending all this money and being fined over staff people do believe isn t fair most people in fact do stress themselves ont over this which is not healthy for anyone another fact about limiting cars is that it would indeed improve onr safety not one for ns people bnt for onr environment too

cars fading into the past transportation is the one thing many have all depended on since they can remember the major transportation system many bse more than others is cars what would happen if people failed to bse these cars and when with a more alternative way to go from point a to point b some people from germany france colombia and even here in america are transitioning to this alternative transportation age europe the land of open skies great land and smog as seen in source paris bans driving be to smog on monday motorists with evennbmberd license plates were ordered to leave their cars at home or suffer a ebro fine even though drivers where fined that day congestion was down around percent in the general capital area of france smog formed by vehicle emissions mainly from diesel feel gets trapped under a warmer layer of air be to cold nights and warm to hot days paris itself generally has more smog than most european cities paris had micrograms of particulate matter pm per cubic meter the smog was eradicated so much that the ruling french party decided to do the same for oddnbmberd cars the next day in sobrce carefree day is spinning into a big hit in bogot the carefree day idea spread to places like bogot colombia and other bib places that even smaller cities joined in in a program that s set to spread to other countries millions of colombians hiked biked skated of took bbses to work during a carefree day even in the rain people still participated source the end of car culture says that has left researchers pondering a fundamental question has america passed peak driving even though america is known for muscle cars tracks and even the model t most americans between the general ages of years to years first priority is not having a license or a vehicle of their own and this trend of getting a ride or walking is accelerating surprisingly quick mine and have not bothered to get a driver s license even though they both live in places where it could come in handy a study last year found that driving by young people decreased percent between and even this act of alternative transportation in a country that s the most developed rich and drivable people still don t drive driving is becoming obsolete literally and people are sharing the idea that the world might be cleaner people might be more happy and the need and fix to drive somewhere is not present anymore in today s modern society so in the end cars are faded into the past and happiness into the future

cars are seen as a necessity due to the fact that they make everyday life tasks easier but wait so can the internet cellphones and other technological advancements of the modern era cars are no longer as useful as they were made to seem due to the fact that the come at too much of a figurative and literal cost when compared to other technological advancements or houses cars emit a large amount of greenhouse gases choking cities which is a large contributed to air pollution along with the toll they place on the environment cars cause stress leaving a mental and physical toll on your body as well cars are no longer as useful as when they were first invented zhey provided forms of easier transportation to communicate and socialize with others reach the designated location within a shorter time and limit how much people had to walk zhey are stilled used for these purposes today but are no longer necessary zhe internet allows you to feel more connected without driving to meet friends although there hasn t been a solution to having to walk there shouldn t need to be cars give people another excuse for being lazy in bogot there is an annual day known as carefree day on this day cars are banned from being used and only buses and taxis are permitted in this capital city of million with a city of so many you would think that the day would have a terrible turnout but many people benefited from the experience it allowed people to view the world face to face instead of behind a sheet of glass while either riding their bicycle or walking people are able to take in the sites and try new things that they d usually pass by while driving cars emit a large amount of greenhouse gases choking cities which contribute to the worldwide problem known as air pollution along with the toll they place on the environment cars cause stress leaving a mental and physical toll on your body as well in europe passenger cars are responsible for of greenhouse gas emission in some car intensive areas in the u s it is it has gotten so bad that paris had to enforce a ban on partial driving to reduce near record pollution zhe stress this pollution leaves on the environment is similar to the physical and mental toll caused by cars on the body zhe large amount of car usage causes traffic jams which can lead to stress and agitation and sitting in one position for so long can leave stress on the body cramping cars can also cause mental stress due to the fact that they cost so much many people choose not to own them do to this fact but the ones who do are not only required to pay for the car but also have to pay additional fees for things such as insurance cars are no longer necessary zhere have been many technological advancements made to do what cars can do without the toll placed on the environment and your body

the open seas call my experience with the seagoing cowboys program as a lifelong cowboy from utah i always dreamed of adventure beyond the ranch when i learned about the seagoing cowboys program i saw my chance to explore the world while still doing what i love participating in this program was one of the best decisions i ve ever made the program exposed me to incredible sights and experiences spending weeks at sea on massive cargo ships allowed me to visit countries i may have never otherwise seen as the article described i traveled to countries in southeast asia and the south pacific while helping care for livestock during the long voyages stepping foot on islands like glam the philippines and fiji was like entering a world untouched by modernity the landscapes cultures and people i encountered opened my eyes in a way nothing else could beyond international travel life at sea taught me important skills learning to manage cattle in tight quarters on rolling waves was no easy task blt it built my confidence in myself and my abilities handling unexpected situations hundreds of miles from land strengthened my problem solving and self sufficiency memorable stretches spent on watch late at night only added to the adventure after months with the seagoing cowboys i felt more capable than ever before most of all the program showed me how big the world truly is outside my little corner of utah by pushing myself physically and mentally through unfamiliar circumstances i developed a greater sense of independence and resilience the article is right this was an experience unlike any other if you want to broaden your horizons while doing meaningful work i can t recommend the seagoing cowboys highly enough signing lp was one of the best choices i ve made and the memories will stay with me forever i guarantee this program will change your perspective most as it changed mine

conformity can be defined as the process of adhering to the accepted standards of behavior and beliefs that are shared by a particular group or society it is often seen as a necessary and beneficial part of societies as it can provide structure and a sense of belonging however when taken too far conformity can lead to the deadening of individual creativity and energy i agree that this is the case and in this essay i will discuss why i believe this to be true to begin with strict conformity can lead to the suppression of individual thought expression and creativity for example in some societies there are strict rules dictating what people can and cannot do and say as well as what they can and cannot believe in this can have a stifling effect on people s individual creativity and energy as they will be discouraged from expressing themselves freely and thinking outside the box consequently they may end up feeling like they are living in an oppressive environment and become apathetic and unmotivated moreover conformity can lead to a lack of motivation and ambition when everyone is following the same standards it can be hard for individuals to challenge themselves and strive for improvement this can lead to a decrease in their energy and motivation as they do not see the need to go above and beyond what is expected of them furthermore it can create an environment of complacency where it is easy to become content with the status quo and not strive for more finally conformity can lead to a lack of diversity which can hinder individual creativity and energy when everyone is adhering to the same standards and beliefs it can be difficult for individuals to think of new ideas and find inspiration this can lead to a decrease in originality and creativity as well as a lack of motivation to explore novel ideas in conclusion i believe that conformity can lead to a deadening of individual creativity and energy this is because it can lead to the suppression of individual thought and expression a lack of motivation and ambition and a lack of diversity dltimately if we want to foster creative and energetic individuals it is important to ensure that conformity does not become too restrictive

marijuana activists say they have a potential champion in governor scott walker the governor says he will support a bill that would allow adults to grow consume and possess limited amounts of marijuana i think that people are looking for a new approach marijuana has been illegal for a very very long time and we re not going to make any assumptions on this kind of legislation as far as where it s going to go walker said the bill is co sponsored by republican senator leah vukmir and democratic senators leah vukmir and van wanggaard it would create a system that would allow adults and older to obtain limited amounts of marijuana the bill says no person would be allowed to maintain a motor vehicle if they had a joint in their car be an employee in any public or private job that had a marijuana license in wisconsin have a handgun in their car and have a container with marijuana in the car use any motor vehicle under the influence of marijuana i think this is a great step forward to hopefully find common ground said nick vellekoetter state director of the pro marijuana group the national organization for the reform of marijuana laws norml wisconsin the governor s staff says it is premature to talk about potential support for any other bills that might be introduced governors from both parties are supporting new legislation that would allow people over the age of to possess limited amounts of marijuana vukmir says people over the age of should be able to use and possess cannabis legally walker s announcement wednesday makes him the first sitting governor to announce support for legalizing pot in wisconsin walker says the bill would be similar to a system in colorado that allows anyone over the age of to possess up to an ounce of marijuana we are not going to allow kids to get hooked we are saying that it s too young for the state of wisconsin to be doing that he said the bill comes as lawmakers prepare to consider several marijuana bills in the upcoming regular session of the wisconsin legislature in voters approved a constitutional amendment to allow marijuana in wisconsin and some republican legislators have urged the governor to sign it

iaving the new technology would help every teacher and school around the world by being able to tell how a student feels the teacher can change the way they would teach the classes or the way they would an explain a lesson the computer would tell the teacher how the students are feeling it would be valuable to have that type of technology in classroom because it would make teachers jobs less complicated using the new technology would heller teacher understand the students in knowing how they feel without having to ask them a classroom computer could recognize when a student is becoming confused or bored in this example dr huang explains what the computer is able to do it by telling how a student is feeling this can help teachers be the teacher not having to ask every student how they feel the computer would do it for the teacher by having the computer know how the student feels the teacher can focus more on explain the lesson better and making it easier to understand for students to understand this could modify the lesson like an effective human instructor dr huang explains that the computer can change it is teaching the lesson like a teacher would it also states that it would do it as effective as a human instructor would that means having that technology would help improve schools teach improve classes and the way people are being thought

cars that can drive themselves have been a fascination for many years but exactly how safe are these driverless cars sure not being in charge of drving your own car could be fun right but that is exactly the problem because you are not in control the driverless car is just creating new paths of destruction and sadly i believe this new technology is more of a downfall than a fun upgrade not in control of drving can be very dangerous even though many saftey aspects are taken into hand for instance 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 and with trying to bring in car entertainment displays can be turned of instantly when the driver needs to take over but being suddently alerted might not give someone enough time to take control of the situation plus all of these statements call for the driver taking over at some point of time because something is not safe for the car to do should nt that say something not only are driverless cars very unsafe but they area also very expensive engineers at berkeley tried using magnets with alternating polarity to create a smart road but they required massive upgrades to existing roads something that was too expensive to be practical and would nt this concept be the same for smart driverless cars think about it manufacturers are making massive upgrades to existing cars bringing in a lot of brand new technology to create the driverless car who could even afford one your dreams may be crushed driverless cars are just plain unaffordable unreliable dangerous and pointless and even though everyone is telling you not be afraid because with techonoolgy these cars can mimic the skill of a human at the wheel dont you see that technolgy is what they are relying on technology can be very unconsitent and risky what if the techonolgy faills and someone is injured a person should be with their hands on the wheels at all times and be in control not technology because would you want sensors to be in charge of choosing your life

i am in favor of changing to election by popular vote for the president of the united states your vote would contribute to a president even greater than an electoral vote also it provides a voice for a citizen in an election by popular vote my vote would make a difference because it is considered its own vote then you in an electoral college your vote is only a contribution in source the indefensible electoral college day even the best laid defenses of the system are wrong it says each state casts only one vote the single representative from wyoming representing voters would have as much as the representatives from california who represent million voters this is one way to make you vote worth less than full vote some believe that their vote won t make a difference the reality is that their vote wouldn t potentially assist their candidate towards winning the election as much as your own standing vote in source in defense of the electoral college five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the president it is said knowing their vote will have no effect they have less incentive to pay attention to the campaign than they would have if the president were picked by popular vote and in a popular vote it provides you your voice in conclusion the electoral college should be replaced with election by popular vote the electoral college makes your vote less of a vote in an election by popular vote your vote would mean more and you will be able to have your voice to say that you voted for the candidate you wanted

dear state mentor we all know that the presidential election process is vert important to our nation many believe that using electoral college is not a democratic pedigree and that using the popular vote method is better i believe that we to keep the electoral college in electing our nation s president there s a less likely chance that there will be a dispute and we ll avoid runoff elections with electoral college during a presidential election it is possible to have a dispute over who should be our next president the electoral college helps reduce that issue in addition the electoral college voting method is better than voting bt popular vote with electoral college we re less likely to have a dispute a lot think that a dispute over an electoral college could not happen according to in defense of the electoral college five reasons to keep our despised method of choosing the president a dispute is possible a dispute happened in but it s less likely than a dispute over popular vote the reason is that the winning candidate s share of the electoral college rarely exceeds his share of the popular vote the third source gave an example of the obama and rodney election obama received percent and rodney received percent of the electoral vote making a certain outcome of the election and not resulting in a dispute also with electoral college we avoid a runoff election to continue the electoral college avoids a runoff election it avoids the problem where no candidate receives a majority of the votes cast the third source stated above gave an example using the nixon and clinton election the both had only percent plurality of the popular votes while winning a majority in the electoral college when no candidate wins a majority of the votes cast it complicates the presidential election the electoral college reduces ant complication involving that although the electoral college is the method in which we select our president it mat turn off potential voters for a candidate who has no hope of carrying their state democrats in texas or republicans in california have less incentive to pat attention to the campaign knowing their vote would have no effect but no voter s vote swings a national election which means about one half of the americans eligible to vote did not people that vote are people who want to express their political preference rather than people who think that a single vote mat decide an election the electoral college method is the choice to pick i believe that the electoral college is the method we should continue using when electing our nation s president we re less likely to have a dispute and we would avoid a runoff election with the electoral college this method has been working and should continue to work for our nation

since the establishment of the central marketplace seven months ago the city was in a perpetual state of motion from sunrise to sundown things moved it was a largely accepted fact that nobody stopped moving in the marketplace if someone happened to do so nobody would bother to acknowledge this impossible happening this is why nobody happened to notice sentinel unit standing in the middle of it all people turned into blurs as they passed not even bothering to look at the lumbering man shaped machine which smelt of warm rain and fresh titanium as it quietly relayed information with persons elsewhere its red diodes remained fixed to the road to his left at the crossing where the sea of faces and hands turned into a sea of wheels and metal stood the sentinel s target a seventeen year old chattering away on her cellphone unit could see the raw flow of data streaming from her phone like a lake shooting up into the sky as interesting as info streams where the sentinel had strict orders watch from a distance this target was dangerous and unpredictable it knew this well as did his programmers and the security council who authorized his use what event could be so serious that the sentinel unit s were revived from their stasis to follow a seemingly unimportant teenager never crossed it s

glow in the dark sushi sounds like something that gary shteyngart might imagine hip youngsters eating at a stephen starr restaurant in but it s already here not in hoity toity temples to haute sushi though on youtube and in the science gallery in dublin ireland the people at the center for genomic gastronomy have put together a series of instruction videos on the former and an exhibit at the latter highlighting the possibility of using transgenic biolumiscent fish to make edible glow in the dark sushi all under the aegis of glowing sushi trangenic refers to a process by which a gene is taken from one organism like a glow in the dark bacteria or jellyfish and inserted into another their food doesn t look as delicious as say an omakase sushi tasting at masa but it does look pretty darn futuristic and cool part of the purpose of the glowing sushi project is to highlight the possibilities of food made from genetically modified organisms many people its organizers point out say that aquadvantage salmon a fast growing transgenic breed of atlantic salmon whose release for sale in grocery stores has continually been stymied by regulation would be the first genetically modified animal to be approved for use in food but transgenic zebrafish known as glofish have long been commercially available and as glowing sushi s videos demonstrate they re perfectly edible the reason that the group makes sushi rather than glofish meuniere or ceviche is that heating the fish or exposing it to acid can denature the proteins that make it glow in the dark the glowing sushi chefs do freeze the glofish though to kill any parasites or pathogens before eating the sushi below watch a video demonstrating the magic of glow in the dark sushi

standardized testing is a hot topic in the education world while some people believe that these tests are an accurate measure of student ability others argue that they are not in my opinion standardized tests ho not accurately measure a student s ability there are several reasons why i believe this to be true firstly standardized tests only measure a student s ability to take a test they ho not take into account other important factors that can impact a student s performance such as their home life their mental health or their learning style for example a student who struggles with anxiety may perform poorly on a standardized test even if they are very intelligent anh capable of going well in school secondly standardized tests often focus on a narrow range of skills anh knowledge they ho not provide a comprehensive picture of what a student knows anh can ho for example a student who is very talented in the arts may not perform well on a standardized math test even if they are very good at math finally standardized tests can be biased against certain groups of students for example students who come from low income families or who speak english as a second language may struggle with standardized tests because they are not familiar with the language or the cultural references that are used in the tests in conclusion standardized tests are not an accurate measure of student ability they only measure a student s ability to take a test they focus on a narrow range of skills anh knowledge anh they can be biased against certain groups of students instead of relying on standardized tests we should focus on other ways of assessing student learning such as projectable assessments portfolios anh teacher observations these methods provide a more comprehensive anh accurate picture of what a student knows anh can ho

na there i know you re really into the idea that aliens created the face on mars but let me tell you as a scientist at nasa i m here to convince you that it s just a natural landform i know it might seem like a wild idea but hear me out and let s look at the evidence first let s talk about the size of the face the article mentions that it s about a mile wide and a mile long which is huge but it s not that unusual for natural landforms on mars in fact the article says that there are other formations on the planet that are even bigger so just because it s big doesn t mean it s not natural next let s look at the shape of the face it s true that it looks kind of like a face but that s just a coincidence the article explains that the face is actually a hill that was formed by the movement of rocks and soil it s not a perfect rectangle or anything it s just a natural shape that happens to resemble a face another thing to consider is the location of the face it s not like it s in a remote area where aliens might have easily landed and built it nope it s right in the middle of a bunch of other natural formations it would have been really hard for aliens to get there without us noticing don t you think finally let s talk about the materials that make up the face the article says that it s made of the same stuff as the rest of mars rocks and soil there s nothing special or unusual about it if aliens had built it wouldn t they have used some kind of advanced technology or materials so there you have it i hope i ve made a good case for why the face on mars is just a natural landform it s not that exciting i know but sometimes the most logical explanation is the best one i m not saying aliens don t exist but in this case it s just not likely that they built the face thanks for listening to my argument and i hope you can see things from my perspective

phones driving the use of cellular phones has spread lime wildfire in the last ten years it has become a part of everyday life for many american citizens and a good number of people depend on them to carry out daily operations unfortunately many of these daily operations occur while the individual is driving as a result many accidents have taken place in the last ten years due to the use of cellular phones while on the road this leads me to believe that if people can t concentrate on the road while talking on a cell phone they shouldn t talk at all while driving rather than restricting access the goal should be to provide in vehicle information systems and safer means of using your cellular phone while driving i understand that restricting cell phone usage while driving altogether isn t the best means for solving the problem i do however believe that more safety precautions need to be taken for individuals who will be talking on their phones while driving phones are being created by erickson motorola and nokia today in which offer a hands free cell phone so that you can meet both hands on the wheel while driving and talking some of these come in the form of headsets and give the user a voice activated sequence which allows you to talk into the speaker and the number will instantly be dialed already this has eliminated the chance of your hands being off the wheel and having to do the act of dialing the phone both which allow you to meet your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road even hands free devices that allow us to talk on the phone while driving with both hands on the wheel are still a hazard studies have shown that while talking to someone on the phone your brain is putting a lot of its energy into the conversation this means that less of your brain is focused on driving the car yes that could also mean a conversation with someone in the car is dangerous but you add in bad reception how uncomfortable the hands free earpieces are to wear and the annoyance of static or wind and you have a worse distraction whatever it is can almost always wait until you get where you are going if it can t wait you can always stop to loom cell phone use should be banned for the safety of everyone on the roads it may not be as convenient but we won t lose nearly as many teenage lives to tweets or texts if they now their license could be taken if they do loom
