91423ecd5e55	4797D4343628	Honestly sir/ma'm i think that it would be way better if we just changed our election on popular vote instead of having it as an electoral college.	Position	Adequate

871390c47cd0	4797D4343628	Honestly it probably wouldnt be as difficult if you just voted on most popular.

Claim	Adequate
5e832f83c611	4797D4343628	Im not gunna lie there was a little bit of some negatives effect. For example if we would of did popular votes when president John F.

228cde0a8cbe	4797D4343628	Although it has some negatives there is way more positive effects. Im not saying using the electoral college way is bad because they do have some good cause;	Counterclaim	Adequate
c3d20f84ae3b	4797D4343628	for example there is atleast 5 good reasons. Hopefully you know all 5 but ill tel you my top 3 reasons on how the electoral college has some good effects. On good positive effect is how hey say it, "Everyone's President". What they mean by that is like how no region would have enough votes to elect a president. So a solid regional favorie like Romeny was in the south had no incentive to campian heavily in those states. another good reason was named "Big States". They meant like every big state like Texas lose by virtue of the mal-apportionment of the senate decreed in the constitution.	Evidence	Ineffective
a755ae4f407e	4797D4343628	One last reason was known as "Swing States".	Claim	Ineffective
7b0045cbcc07	4797D4343628	By that they meant like what had happened with Nixon and Clinton. They both had only 43 percent plurality of the popular votes while winning a major in the electoral college.	Evidence	Ineffective
ac7e17c5bf8f	4797D4343628	But like i said there is still some negatives about it and my opinion like i said was to vote on popularity.	Concluding Statement	Adequate
01966060a424	47A7E2D63D3B	In the article "Driverless Cars Are Coming," the author describes where the cars are now and how they are effecting society.	Lead	Adequate
610f0bfb7e67	47A7E2D63D3B	Even, after reading the passage, I don't believe that driverless cars should be a reality right now. Maybe in a few years, when changes are made for safety precautions, but in the now, we can handle driving on our own.	Position	Effective
48df96d29f22	47A7E2D63D3B	Having the "smart roads" equipped with electrical cable or magnets, as General Motors and Berkeley engineers did in paragraph 3, would never work with rebuilding all new roads all over the world just for these cars.	Claim	Effective
1fdaf77f106d	47A7E2D63D3B	Imagine the time and money spent just for these roads to be built. And what will happen once the passengers are on a road without these "smart" adaptions? Because of this, the next version of this driverless car is to rather equip the car with sensors and not the road itself as the Toyata Prius did in paragraph 4.	Evidence	Adequate
aa6938cb8f87	47A7E2D63D3B	But no matter how many sensors, lasers, or recievers you have on this driverless car, artificial intelligence will never be as smart as human intelligence.	Claim	Effective
3a1a948cba96	47A7E2D63D3B	What will happen when a deer jumps out from a field, a pedestrian rides his bike, a child's ball bounces out from her yard, or a pothole comes near comes bouncing from her yard? Will the sensors and lasers notice the change and react as fast a human would? Even if there is still a driver in the seat, as said in paragraph 8, what will keep their attention on the road and not fixated on their phone or other passengers? No amount of buzzing or flashing lights will get the attention of the driver to whatever accident may occur quick enough to make a change. If anything, the displays will make the driver panic in such a way that will make their safety decline further.	Evidence	Effective
09e13d99e260	47A7E2D63D3B	Driverless cars are especially targeted to keep those who would normally drive while under the influence of alchohol and others safe from them.	Claim	Effective
13879d69d599	47A7E2D63D3B	But once again, what if something should come between the car and where the car wants to go? The "driver" under the influence of alchohol cannot to anything otherwise, especially with the displays distracting the driver further. Without these driverless cars those under the influence would normally grab a taxi or ride home with a friend, but with the driverless cars, he/she would be a potential threat.	Evidence	Adequate
7c31adc316e8	47A7E2D63D3B	having driverless cars in the world would not be nearly as safe as human intelligence. The driverless cars will be more of a distraction on to the passengers and essentially, will not help any of the passengers nor pedestrians around them. There are much too many scenarios that could go wrong rather than if a human driver was actually in control.	Concluding Statement	Effective
993c2f3991c5	47D025408E0F	There are many things that can benefit from community service, there are also many things that can not be beneficial.	Position	Ineffective

32038c89b326	47D025408E0F	The reason i choose this as a beneficial reasoning is because many kids need respect now days.	Evidence	Adequate
574e09fe7166	47D025408E0F	Another reason would be to learn how to handle things outside home and school, but also learn how to handle things at home and in school.	Evidence	Adequate
c6d05504e111	47D025408E0F	There are also bad things that aren't beneficial from community service.	Claim	Ineffective
5d13f0a6a8cc	47D025408E0F	This is because some kids need time to focus on school priorities as well. For example, say you had an essay paper to do but you had to do community service but you don't finish later. By then you would have forgotten about the paper and you would have also been tired.	Evidence	Adequate
06892556ee19	47D025408E0F	so there is no good outcome from community service as much as there is a beneficial outcome.	Concluding Statement	Ineffective

c34714a411b8	4819AB11D62A	Their children might not come and visit them and help them. So they want to be really happy if their about to die or their really sick. You will also feel good after you do something good for them.	Evidence	Effective
72e4e8d2327b	4819AB11D62A	What will they think? They'll probably think that the students or adults don't do anything for the community.

Evidence	Effective
53a81452168c	4819AB11D62A	So why shouldn't students and adults that don't have jobs do the volunteer work. We should be really nice to the community because its a great place to live at.

4fa6355e34ca	483B15E6B6DE	To see what they can do and if there are behaving badly just pull them out of the sport they are playing. and tell them they cant play until next try-outs. And hopefully they will make the team those try-outs.	Evidence	Adequate
781797091e1c	483B15E6B6DE	To be honest I don't like playing sports because I am really bad at sports well some of them i am good but most bad. so you wont be seeing me playing any sports, only the sports i like to play . but you really should let the students who have at least a "c" average to in the sports you say that's aloud to play at the right tome of the year.

b824087cd742	484C49CBDA30	When people have to much freedom they don't know what to do and do wrong choices so i think choosing a elector is a good thing they have studied the president and have heard countless promises that he has done. I mean he or she most likley will vote for the candiate running for president you did because he or she is a elector he or she gets the people who also voted for the same person as he or she wants.	Rebuttal	Effective
c3709c604753	484C49CBDA30	I mean we people are still voting we still have the vote just that our vote goes to choosing a certain elector instead of just directly leaving it to the people to vote for a ceratin candiate running for president.	Claim	Adequate
1f5bd76590fe	484C49CBDA30	By this the number is much smaller since each country is weighed and is worth certain points and decided by electors you choosed to trust to vote for the same president you did. You still are in control just that you choose somebody he/her is not likely to change his or her mind and vote for the exact person you want he or she to vote for. It stated in the article that "Each candidate running for president in your state has his or her own group of electors. The electors are generally chosen by the candiate's politcal party." I say that if the candidate political party chooses the electors then they must be good and the party must be sure the elector won't change his mind out of no where.	Evidence	Effective
954f35920360	484C49CBDA30	This does make the candiate running for president try to convience the electors he is the one they need and that he will help our country be better. This also helps the candiate running for president know what states he should go to since some states they already know they lost	Claim	Effective
962c9db5316c	484C49CBDA30	It stated in the article that "A solid regional favorite, such as Romney was in the south,has no incentive to campaign heavily in those states, for he gains no electoral votes by increasing his plurality in states that he knows he will win."So this keeps the president from having to go to every state because its just no based of popular vote and want every individual person votes for.	Evidence	Effective
77a5c1b58da4	484C49CBDA30	I think the Electoral college is great and well organized the process is good and the only thing is does is make the voting process more easier and ordered. I think we should keep it i mean it has had his troubles her and there but it has worked so good for such a long time.

aba656584944	4858280EA8BC	My main suggestion for you first and foremost is to try giving out a survey to all of the students that attend your school.

5d3bf0ab38a8	4858280EA8BC	For example; some students may have learning disabilities or maybe even have trouble understanding the work. Or the students could have personal problems.

Attending classes from home makes it easier for students to get an education without having to commute to schools. Not to mention, if a student didn't have to commute to school, they would have more free time to do extracurricular activities.

We should change the way we vote for our persident in the way it will become more equal and not asume it is right. To me the elctoral college just rounds up the vote in the state elector. We should and give everyone a chance too vote of course they would be 18 and older but, aleast to try maybe the outcome well be better and more fair towards to election.

for example there is atleast 5 good reasons. Hopefully you know all 5 but ill tel you my top 3 reasons on how the electoral college has some good effects. On good positive effect is how hey say it, "Everyone's President". What they mean by that is like how no region would have enough votes to elect a president. So a solid regional favorie like Romeny was in the south had no incentive to campian heavily in those states. another good reason was named "Big States". They meant like every big state like Texas lose by virtue of the mal-apportionment of the senate decreed in the constitution.

Imagine the time and money spent just for these roads to be built. And what will happen once the passengers are on a road without these "smart" adaptions?

What will happen when a deer jumps out from a field, a pedestrian rides his bike, a child's ball bounces out from her yard, or a pothole comes near comes bouncing from her yard? Will the sensors and lasers notice the change and react as fast a human would? Even if there is still a driver in the seat, as said in paragraph 8, what will keep their attention on the road and not fixated on their phone or other passengers? No amount of buzzing or flashing lights will get the attention of the driver to whatever accident may occur quick enough to make a change. If anything, the displays will make the driver panic in such a way that will make their safety decline further.

It stated in the article that "Each candidate running for president in your state has his or her own group of electors. The electors are generally chosen by the candiate's politcal party."
