5142c97265bc | 1F0B13A90754 | In doing this you are having a fair vote in the election with everyone who is eligable to vote, voting whomever they please. If you vote for your own president of your choice there will not be any elector deciding for you if they do not like what you have elected. We need to have a say in what we want.

18accb495950 | 1F0B13A90754 | People don't usually spend time in states they know the don't have a chance at winning. Who would? these states only focus on the tight races in the "swing" states. Sometime around the 2000 campaign, apporximately 17 states didn't at all see those candidates. Even when there were voters in states that had 25 of the lar... | Evidence | Effective |
d921239073c1 | 1F0B13A90754 | For my conclusion this proves that there are many difficulties along the way of an election, regarding the votes and voters. With this letter being written, people should not wonder whether or not the electoral college should be abolished, and go with the popluar voting method. You shouldn't be thinking about just a co... | Concluding Statement | Effective |

1dcc63be3501 | 1F11C3F72282 | It could be useful either way, maybe some teens would like it because they enjured something, they wouldn't be able to drive now but they could if we had driverless cars. In the passage "Driverless Cars Are Coming" they said something about putting something in the car to entertain them and making sure they keep their ... | Evidence | Adequate |
9c3d72ae9bdd | 1F11C3F72282 | Just because there is driverless cars coming soon doesn't mean that people can just drive them around whenever they feel like it, its same as being a car when you have control. You still have to watch out and go the speed limit, you can't take it and sleep when it's driving. | Counterclaim | Adequate |

027d171c97d1 | 1F11C3F72282 | Now there are cars that you can turn on while you're still in the house, some cars have wifi, you can turn the heat on, and open doors before you get to the car.

bd468057be9f | 1F11C3F72282 | Have they thought about the car accidents that could happen? Or how it could injure someone? This will take more responsibility than what a driver has now.
Would there have to be any test taking for those who want their permit or license? How do you know if they are capable of being in control over those things? Havin... | Counterclaim | Adequate |
1aad8924c646 | 1F11C3F72282 | Those who want a driverless cars should still capable of doing the things they do now with a regular car. Senors will still be in the cars, if adding them to the new cars that would make it better for the person and the car. | Evidence | Ineffective |
d41cd58bae0c | 1F11C3F72282 | They want to know who would be responsible for an accident? Well it would be the persons fault. If they aren't looking at the road because they were distracted by something else than that could be bad. They should be able to take control when they see something bad is about to happen.
Now if the driverless cars come w... | Evidence | Adequate |
72afe98715ba | 1F11C3F72282 | Whether they're or no driverless cars people should always be safe while driving.

0ba1c9dfeee9 | 1F56575F6388 | I believe that cell phones should be allowed in school at lunch time but if you have them out during class you'll receive the normal punishment. | Position | Adequate |
1e610f8a39f8 | 1F56575F6388 | What would be the point of not allowing students to have they're cell phones out during lunch? | Claim | Adequate |
7f3a41b63de3 | 1F56575F6388 | They are eating and/or talking to friends. | Evidence | Adequate |
cf37352c892d | 1F56575F6388 | Although, the only true downside to this is if your texting it does not always get to the other persons phone right away, depending on the amount of signal you or they have it could take 5 seconds or it could take 30 minutes | Counterclaim | Effective |
8d8fbb502314 | 1F56575F6388 | And because of that the students cell phone could ring in the middle of class and end up having them in detention with they're phone taken away. | Evidence | Adequate |
d722f28f4a39 | 1F56575F6388 | So as you can see in the first two paragraphs that there is a good thing and a bad thing about allowing students to have there cell phones out during school hours, or at least class room time, | Evidence | Adequate |
194e6e04b4c9 | 1F56575F6388 | why can't we also have our cell phones out during school dances, it would not be very different from lunch time and your after school. | Claim | Adequate |
d408a6771aae | 1F56575F6388 | The only problem i can see by allowing this is if you drop your phone, leave it somewhere, or its been stolen. | Counterclaim | Adequate |
fb00bd3b82f8 | 1F56575F6388 | These things are not very big things to worry about | Rebuttal | Adequate |
aa595da062ec | 1F56575F6388 | some of these things don't really have a complete point to, like the one for school dances in the last paragraph, it doesn't really have a reason why we can not have them out. Truly there has to be a really good explanation for not allowing this. | Evidence | Adequate |
8ef29cdf5d96 | 1F56575F6388 | Now for not allowing them in class I understand, the way I see it is because students will, most likely, most of their time texting or calling friends or family about what they are going to do after school | Counterclaim | Adequate |
4b67da24ba05 | 1F56575F6388 | If this is allowed the this will probably happen, the students will not pay attention, they will not learn, won't get their homework finished, they might get held back a grade, not graduate, not go to college, won't get a very good job (that they actually like to do), from then on their are a few more problems and all ... | Evidence | Adequate |
ffd99e8774f9 | 1F56575F6388 | that doesn't mean that this will happen to everyone | Rebuttal | Adequate |
a3a31bea4399 | 1F56575F6388 | some will actually want to pay attention, finish homework on time, and so on. But luckily schools don't allow phones out whenever the student wants to text his/her friend but maybe at lunch or at school dances. | Evidence | Adequate |
21e52cfbb357 | 1F56575F6388 | Now throughout this response i have said/typed what I think is, in a way, best for the school and that is to carry out with the no cell phones in school policy. Because the student might lose his/her cell phone or other electronic device. | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |
a8390677b384 | 1F6AB4756E2B | I do think that all students should be required to perform community service. | Position | Adequate |
3d17b45db764 | 1F6AB4756E2B | I think that all students need to participate in helping out where they live | Claim | Adequate |
510e140e40f3 | 1F6AB4756E2B | I think that students should only have to do it once every four or five months or so | Claim | Adequate |
bd244a277fed | 1F6AB4756E2B | I think that you should be able to pick your community service, | Claim | Adequate |
45fd64b1e2df | 1F6AB4756E2B | such as if you like to help with kids, help out at an elementary school, or pre-school . If you like to play sports, you should be able to pick helping out with community sports, like soccer or basketball. | Evidence | Adequate |
2384c41f989d | 1F6AB4756E2B | I think if all students have to do community service, it will make it a better community, and people will be more involved | Evidence | Adequate |
2bf8255e4a5c | 1F6AB4756E2B | But, i don't think you should have to do community service all the time, because i think that students will get sick of it doing it a lot of times. | Evidence | Ineffective |
6cafbec3da50 | 1F6AB4756E2B | Students should not be forced to something they don't want to do, like if they don't like school you shouldn't make them do tutoring for there community service. | Evidence | Adequate |
559a4520cef0 | 1F6AB4756E2B | I think if you have students do it only on occasions, they would enjoy it, and look forward to d doing it more. Maybe if you do it twice a year, then it will be something for the students to look forward too. They might like it better because they only have to do it on occasions, not all the time. | Evidence | Adequate |
0632b5e6dacd | 1F6AB4756E2B | A lot of people or places need the community service. They need help with kids stuff, and cleaning up your community. It will make the students think more about helping out there community, and maybe make them want to do it more often. | Evidence | Adequate |
7c3ff6c65eae | 1F6AB4756E2B | But then again, a lot of people might not want to do it. | Counterclaim | Ineffective |
e2daddc5ec03 | 1F6AB4756E2B | I think for people who actually participate and really help out with the community service, they should get a little reward. | Rebuttal | Adequate |
57db2c8f4ed2 | 1F6AB4756E2B | They should get extra credit in a class or something, because people who aren't participating shouldn't get rewarded for not doing anything. | Evidence | Adequate |
6ff688d5e00a | 1F6AB4756E2B | I think that students should only have to do it time to time, not once a month ore week. I think that students should be-able to pick what they want to do for community service, not have the principle, or somebody else pick. I think that having community service be required is a good idea. I think it will really change... | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
d7bdf2b71887 | 1F8354F0A861 | Many people enjoy the idea of community service; others do not. | Lead | Adequate |
3eddaf6f5c4e | 1F8354F0A861 | I believe that students have the right to choose what they would rather do, instead of being forced to do so.
| Position | Effective |
8a5583b7c229 | 1F8354F0A861 | Some kids already do some community service.
It would mainly affect the kids that don't. | Evidence | Adequate |
2455759d2fc4 | 1F8354F0A861 | Even though community service is the right thing to do, it should not be forced upon anybody. | Claim | Effective |
c1827c93b604 | 1F8354F0A861 | The students need some of their own freedom.
We are already facing being a teenager and school.
We need to be able to make a few more decisions in our everyday lives.
| Evidence | Effective |
e32e5eb1eec5 | 1F8354F0A861 | On the other hand, every student performing community service will help the city extremely well. | Counterclaim | Effective |
73d8708b78f5 | 1F8354F0A861 | The streets will be cleaner, the buildings shinier, and the gardens greener.
Everyone in the city will leave their homes with a smile on their face!
| Evidence | Effective |
b7168b98e82f | 1F8354F0A861 | For example, one of my friends volunteers at an elementary school as a tutor.
He enjoys it a lot, especially when one of the kids gets a good grade on something he taught them. | Evidence | Effective |
ccdeabcc0bcc | 1F8354F0A861 | However, some of my other friends don't like the idea of community service because it takes away from their free time. | Rebuttal | Effective |
431e4d76d59a | 1F8354F0A861 | Personally, I am not liking the idea of being forced to make the city a better place.
It shouldn't be part of the curriculum.
The students should make the decision themselves.

1ef22a4aa258 | 2007A7232687 | The Eletoral College should stay because this has been the system that has been used for years in the united states and i dont think that it would be respectful to the ones that have been choosen by this system. | Position | Adequate |
e4cd27bd7245 | 2007A7232687 | Most of the people who dont like this system of voting will most likely say that we the people dont really know any thing about who we are voting and that most of us who are voting for someone are just voting for them just because we have heard good thinds about them | Counterclaim | Ineffective |
e44b42298842 | 2007A7232687 | I'm not going to lie and say that none of the people who do get to vote are all voting because they know their stuff about the candidates, but some of us who do know about the candidates and how they are working should not lose the right to vote for who ever we would like. If we dont get to vote for who we like and bel... | Rebuttal | Ineffective |
59d122fe96aa | 2007A7232687 | If all of the states would have same electoral vote then things would be harder because we mostly at some point will have a tie | Counterclaim | Adequate |
dd19a6cf4d9e | 2007A7232687 | this would cause major problems but since every state has a different number it is not likely that both candidates will end up with the same number of votes | Evidence | Adequate |
c2b36a370123 | 2007A7232687 | Another reason people dont like this system is because most states have a winner takes all system where they dont spilt up the elector votes if most of the votes are for one candidate then he will get all of the votes from that state. | Counterclaim | Adequate |
58b454600ffa | 2007A7232687 | This causes lots of people to rage on the Electoral college because they feel that the state is taking there right to vote and to be different. | Evidence | Ineffective |
da982cab2b79 | 2007A7232687 | The other good thing about Eletoral college is that no certain region can win a election so this makes candidates campaign in states that they no they can win. | Claim | Adequate |
121032e3a779 | 2007A7232687 | This also is something that people do not like because for example when the canidates were Obama and Romney and lets say he put alot of his campaigns in new york this would cause the new yorkers who are going with Obama to get mad and start to protest because they arent see anything from Obama so they might turn to the... | Evidence | Adequate |
0885aea60200 | 2007A7232687 | Many of the people who are going agaist say that we are not voting for a president that we are voting for a slate of electors | Counterclaim | Adequate |
3294ad08407b | 2007A7232687 | This is true but if we are voting for electors that are going to vote for the president that we would like its just like voting for the president there is not difference. | Rebuttal | Adequate |

2cb68a0671e2 | 2007A7232687 | Elector College should not be taken away in any matter because this is the easiest, best, and oldest way that we have of picking the new leaders for our country. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
