e908dfe73815	1D8D04DBA122	So this is why i think we should have a B average to play a sport without out having to worry about getting our grade up. I also can see why she would want to have everyone have an A average because she wants people to have good grades and know that if you don't have the responsibility to keep your grades up then you have to be put off your team because then they would think your not a good student.

They also vibrate when you are about to back into something or are drifting into another lane, but they can not correct these things. Some cars can drive themselves but can not function properly when coming to a roadwork area or an accident scene. If a car is incapable of dealing with these contingencies we should not develop them.	Evidence	Adequate
ccdd227e15ea	1DC257172C29	In paragraph 4 the prompt talks about the cars using LIDAR which is a device that projects a laser and spins on top of the car. Every rotation showing the computer the cars surroundings. While on the road however the LIDAR could spin around and before it get around again an object could have found its way to being in the path of the car giving the car, depending on its speed, hardly any or no time to react. Other sensors could go bad or just the slightest miscalculation or glitch in anything could spell disaster for the car and its passenger(s). These cars should not be developed given today's unreliable technology.	Evidence	Effective
c50d46dbe6f5	1DC257172C29	In paragraph 8 the questions, "Why would anyone want a driverless car that still needs a driver?" and, "Wouldn't drivers get bored waiting for their turn to drive?", were asked. In the same paragraph the author answers the question by saying, "We have to interpret the driving fun in new way." Manufacturers hope to fix that problem by introducing "in-car entertainment and information systems that use heads-up displays."(Paragraph 8) These same ideas contradict the claim in paragraph 9 that says, "Most driving laws focus on keeping drivers, passengers, and pedestrians safe, and lawmakers know that safety is best acieved with alert drivers." How can drivers be alert if they are busy "having fun" before the car decides to hand over the controls to the driver.	Evidence	Effective
2a9a9a174075	1DC257172C29	Driverless cars should not be developed because they still require human assistance, there are too many things that can go wrong with the technology required, and that driving takes alert drivers, the same drivers that are going to be "entertained" while they wait for their turn to drive.

d43cec7b7987	1E5EFF5360E2	The face is just a natural landform that is a huge rock formation. No aliens were involved in the making of it. Although it has starred in books, films, magazines and talk shows that does not mean it was created by aliens.	Evidence	Adequate

aefc6b261f2b	1E6CE8FB9C96	How is the election of the president of the U.S.? The election is base on two parts, the first one is the Electoral College and the second one is the popular vote or the vote of the people.	Lead	Adequate

f63fec75de10	1E6CE8FB9C96	According to the beginning of the U.S. Constitution ,''We the people of the United States of America...", it shows that the people have the right to change the government. When we select someone to be our leader we are selecting someone according to their values and to their actions before being the leader, but we are not selecting someone according to his political view-democrat or republican-. In the Electoral college what they basically due is vote for the president who have the same political view as they have and if that person is going to help them in the future as president.	Evidence	Adequate
4acf36854531	1E6CE8FB9C96	So the Electoral College means business, while the popular vote select the president according to what is he going to do with the country.	Claim	Adequate
00610b8a1cdc	1E6CE8FB9C96	Also the 358 electors cannot represent the whole population of the United States, so basically they are not having a democratic system where everyone have a right.	Claim	Adequate
c1a8c93d8259	1E6CE8FB9C96	For example in 2000 when the elction between Bush and Gore, Gore won the popular vote while Bush won the Electoral vote letting Bush won the precidency. After Bush won the precidency, he began sending soldiers to Afghanistan and Irac separating millions of U.S families, so the meaning is that people were right that Brush was not going to be a good president since the beginning, but at the end it was the fault of the Electoral College.	Evidence	Adequate

e0d7b77e50e6	1E6CE8FB9C96	Ther Electoral College sometimes is unfair against the popular, for example in Florida have 29 electoral votes while Wyoming have only 3 electoral votes is not fair to compare the two of them. The popular vote is easier, must of the times there are no ties so it woukld make it easy to select the president.	Evidence	Adequate
7db04d847d8d	1E6CE8FB9C96	In the other hand the popular vote would get really tie and one of the person that is running for president would ask for a recount of the vote, so it would take longer to select the president.	Counterclaim	Adequate
f3725ca6a90c	1E6CE8FB9C96	Aslo if is there a tie in the Electoral College the election would be thrown at the House of Representative and giving the Senate the opportunity to select the president, leading to more complexity for choosing a president.	Evidence	Adequate
b8dedcea255a	1E6CE8FB9C96	At the end the popular vote means the people's vote and a fair election. Voting for the president of the United States is not an easy way, but as you read in the eassay you would see that the popular vote get the highest point for being the easiest one. Having a country that select their own president means that the countruy would accept anything that the precident is doing.	Concluding Statement	Adequate

So this is why i think we should have a B average to play a sport without out having to worry about getting our grade up. I also can see why she would want to have everyone have an A average because she wants people to have good grades and know that if you don't have the responsibility to keep your grades up then you have to be put off your team because then they would think your not a good student.

In paragraph 4 the prompt talks about the cars using LIDAR which is a device that projects a laser and spins on top of the car. Every rotation showing the computer the cars surroundings. While on the road however the LIDAR could spin around and before it get around again an object could have found its way to being in the path of the car giving the car, depending on its speed, hardly any or no time to react.

In paragraph 8 the questions, "Why would anyone want a driverless car that still needs a driver?" and, "Wouldn't drivers get bored waiting for their turn to drive?", were asked. In the same paragraph the author answers the question by saying, "We have to interpret the driving fun in new way." Manufacturers hope to fix that problem by introducing "in-car entertainment and information systems that use heads-up displays."(Paragraph 8) These same ideas contradict the claim in paragraph 9 that says, "Most driving laws focus on keeping drivers, passengers, and pedestrians safe, and lawmakers know that safety is best acieved with alert drivers." How can drivers be alert if they are busy "having fun" before the car decides to hand over the controls to the driver.

Driverless cars should not be developed because they still require human assistance, there are too many things that can go wrong with the technology required, and that driving takes alert drivers, the same drivers that are going to be "entertained" while they wait for their turn to drive.

when they get a phone they don't do nothing in school they just sit in the classrooms and talk or text on the phone that's why they grades dropping. That's why students should get a cell phone when they a little older because students like eight graders don't need to repeat the same grade over they don't need to be in middle school forever.

The face is just a natural landform that is a huge rock formation. No aliens were involved in the making of it. Although it has starred in books, films, magazines and talk shows that does not mean it was created by aliens.

To start from the beginning, NASA was just circling Mars taking pictures of possible places where one of the other ships could land. Then it spotted the shadowy rock that looked like a face. A few days after NASA snapped the photo of the Face everyone was engaged in it.

If it was NASA would be looking for any form of life on my Mars instead of just calling it a natural landform. It was just a landform that was created naturally like the ones on Earth.

In conclusion, I would like to say there is no actual evidence that aliens created the landform or that they exist. The Face was not created by aliens and is just made out of rock that happened to form into the shape of a face and as time goes on it looks less like a face.

According to the beginning of the U.S. Constitution ,''We the people of the United States of America...", it shows that the people have the right to change the government. When we select someone to be our leader we are selecting someone according to their values and to their actions before being the leader, but we are not selecting someone according to his political view-democrat or republican-. In the Electoral college what they basically due is vote for the president who have the same political view as they have and if that person is going to help them in the future as president.

For example in 2000 when the elction between Bush and Gore, Gore won the popular vote while Bush won the Electoral vote letting Bush won the precidency. After Bush won the precidency, he began sending soldiers to Afghanistan and Irac separating millions of U.S families, so the meaning is that people were right that Brush was not going to be a good president since the beginning, but at the end it was the fault of the Electoral College.

Ther Electoral College sometimes is unfair against the popular, for example in Florida have 29 electoral votes while Wyoming have only 3 electoral votes is not fair to compare the two of them. The popular vote is easier, must of the times there are no ties so it woukld make it easy to select the president.

In the other hand the popular vote would get really tie and one of the person that is running for president would ask for a recount of the vote, so it would take longer to select the president.

At the end the popular vote means the people's vote and a fair election. Voting for the president of the United States is not an easy way, but as you read in the eassay you would see that the popular vote get the highest point for being the easiest one. Having a country that select their own president means that the countruy would accept anything that the precident is doing.
