5e3df3ed4378 | 2E4427B65439 | What I think that is, is just a simple and natural landform made by the underground volcanoes, sandy surface, and rocks that landed there. | Position | Effective |
0af300ba5e4d | 2E4427B65439 | One reason I believe that this is a natural landform is from looking at the photos. | Claim | Effective |
67089f378a3e | 2E4427B65439 | The "face" isn't any perticular shape that any man or alien would want. The landform would be shaped as a circle, square or any other simple shape, and it would not be so ridgid and cracked.

bcf533f81a33 | 2E4427B65439 | That part of the theory makes more sense if you take into consideration the angle the camera could have been taken at. | Claim | Effective |
b3e743911ea6 | 2E4427B65439 | Notice photo two? Its seems to be taken at an angle where there looks like there is a small mountain range looming over the rest of the area. This is key evidence explaining how this is just a natural landmark on Mars. | Evidence | Adequate |
1db7eac42f10 | 2E4427B65439 | If you still do not believe me, then this next part will. If you think about it, why would NASA keep an amazing discover like this a secret? | Claim | Adequate |
3c138b434c7a | 2E4427B65439 | The answer is that they would not. If NASA went worldwide with their "face" they would make more money than millionaires or even other space academies. It does not make sense that the academy would keep an alien encounter hidden.
| Evidence | Effective |
5717b9c6f374 | 2E4427B65439 | In conclusion, NASA is either brave or very stupid not to tell people about their "face", or people just want to get their word out to make other people critisized, make other people feel stupid, or they just want to feel like they are correct when they are clearly not. Therefore; This "so called face" is not a face, b... | Concluding Statement | Effective |

7d61cf32bdbc | 2E7245D9A04D | An example of why they should be allowed is because the computer just doesnt scan just a few it scans all 44 muscles in your face. It allows the computer to maybe bring something up to you to realise that maybe this is something that i need to look into for maybe fun or help. | Evidence | Adequate |
cb6573b991df | 2E7245D9A04D | Its helps the students outs when they are trying to figure out what they can do to help with each emotion you have. | Claim | Adequate |
8763f501ae9a | 2E7245D9A04D | Another reason why computer show be allowed to scan emotions is because the software can identify mix emotion. | Claim | Ineffective |
24c032875d34 | 2E7245D9A04D | Its said by Dr. Huang," The facial expression for each emotion is universal even though individual often show vary degree of expression."

1ba3641767e8 | 2E7245D9A04D | Therefore computer should be used to scan students emotions just so maybe is its really bad the school can do something for that student and get them the help they need.
