ed7c75a9bab9 | B72D0B4875B4 | Most people think that the electoral college is not reasonable. I don't think they're wrong. | Lead | Effective |
cc1740f3d1f2 | B72D0B4875B4 | The electoral college is very unfair. | Position | Effective |
efe112f77373 | B72D0B4875B4 | It is unfair because the people's votes might be overuled | Claim | Effective |
42566352465b | B72D0B4875B4 | the electoral college is biased, | Claim | Effective |
571d2f6c2a82 | B72D0B4875B4 | they may not pay any attention to the people's opinions. | Claim | Effective |
31223e88d281 | B72D0B4875B4 | First of all, in some cases the popular vote might not be of any value. | Claim | Effective |
08a1781dd14b | B72D0B4875B4 | Besides, the popular vote doesn't matter in the decision for president it elects members for the electoral college. So if I wanted to vote for a republican president but the electoral college ends up voting for the democrat I would have wasted my time going to vote. Clearly, the electoral college's vote overrules the popular vote. | Evidence | Effective |
4643903b3fd3 | B72D0B4875B4 | In addition to overruling the popular vote, the people on the electoral college are biased. | Claim | Effective |
cb74c14c0b3c | B72D0B4875B4 | If the people who are on the electoral college are biased then, they might not take people's votes into account to their electoral vote. I know no one would want their vote to be ignored so this is another reason why the electoral college should be abolished. If a democracy means the people decide who their leaders are, then why are there other people who might not represent the people chosing our president. Quite obviously, the electoral college is biased and might not care about the popular vote.
| Evidence | Effective |
306c14bac903 | B72D0B4875B4 | Furthermore, even if the people's votes go to the electoral college, the college might not even pay attention to the reasons people give to vote for someone. | Claim | Effective |
71db59746f04 | B72D0B4875B4 | Most people don't really care that their votes go to deciding who is on the electoral college | Counterclaim | Effective |
100efc06f7e1 | B72D0B4875B4 | but they are missing the point. | Rebuttal | Adequate |
d4e35271cb95 | B72D0B4875B4 | The electoral college are made up of human beings and they will say no to ideas they don't like. I don't think that the fate of our country should be resting on the idea that if one person doesn't like someone they will reject the idea. Obviously, the electoral college might reject some ideas just because they don't like them. | Evidence | Effective |
430b8382461b | B72D0B4875B4 | To conclude, the electoral college cannot be trusted to decide the future of our great nation. This group of electors might be biased, their votes overrule the popular vote, and they might not be open to opinions. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
22299d80a3b1 | B736B35EC849 | Would students even care of doing online schooling? | Lead | Adequate |
817c9f36f0fd | B736B35EC849 | Students would not benefit from being able to attend classes from home by online schooling | Position | Adequate |

6fdc00d83489 | B736B35EC849 | The reasons students would not benefit from online schooling or video conference is because students might do it for a miniumum of time | Claim | Adequate |

f06fdedbdf9e | B736B35EC849 | The first reason why students would not benefit from online schooling is because they might do it for only a miniumum of time | Claim | Adequate |
1396532a6d34 | B736B35EC849 | The students parents could tell them to do it and the student will only do it for little bit and cut it off. For example, a student parent could tell them do the online schooling and student could act like there doing it and then they can turn off there computer when their parents not there. Students could also fall asleep during the lesson that teacher is teaching. The teacher onine would not know if the student is asleep or not be there to learn to what the teacher has said. | Evidence | Adequate |
9cb76edcb964 | B736B35EC849 | Another reason why students won't benefit from online schooling is because students could forget to do the online schooling | Claim | Adequate |
f074c38a2b64 | B736B35EC849 | Students might forget because the student could have alot of stuff to do and could forget about the online schooling. Students have been too busy on one thing and forget about it .The student could have played a game and not think about the video conference. For eample, a student might hang out with his friends and forget that he had to do the online schooling after he hanged out with his friends. Student could also forget iof they have drama in there house. | Evidence | Adequate |
87c2feb13c21 | B736B35EC849 | The last reason why students won't benefit from online schooling is students choosing not to do it. | Claim | Adequate |
ee388928ff5c | B736B35EC849 | Students might not choose to do it because they probably don't feel like it or just don't have time for it. Student would rather go outside and play games than online schooling. Some students might be lazy and don't feel like doing anything or going anywhere. Student could have work they need to do and choose not to do the schooling. Some students may think that the online schooling is a waste of time and will not do it.
| Evidence | Adequate |
cefa054c3f5d | B736B35EC849 | . Students would not benefit to be able to go to classes by online schooling. Critics do say some student go online to study, but they would not care about the online schooling. They would not benefit online schooling because students would do a little bit of time on it, they will forget about it, or they would choose not to do it. This why students won't benefit from it and schools should not try to do it. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
2669a50f42ed | B7685AA86F85 | the Face was just a natural landform | Position | Adequate |
03e6ccfacbb0 | B7685AA86F85 | it was just shadows giving it the illusion of facal fitures | Claim | Adequate |
de25a29b1518 | B7685AA86F85 | it's the unusual shadows that make it look like a Pharaoh | Evidence | Adequate |
ccef3083c44f | B7685AA86F85 | there is no scientific effidence that the Face is a alien or some sort of artifact . | Claim | Adequate |
573f8686280d | B7685AA86F85 | its a natural rock formation and is not a face | Claim | Adequate |
3e3c20d6f021 | B7685AA86F85 | if you found a pepple that looked like a face. Would you think that humans were once the size of a pepple. Or that if you heared that chocalte milk comes from brown cows would you belive it . | Evidence | Ineffective |
d213cebc90f9 | B7685AA86F85 | And if that person had a fracture of hope still that it was a face. I would say to that person that you should not believen stuff that can't be proven | Claim | Adequate |
21c085de3881 | B7685AA86F85 | Then i would show that person the 2001 photo and ask him does that look like a face . Then i would tell that person that it's something similliar to that butte or mesa landforms around American West | Evidence | Adequate |
9d28f1fd6d52 | B7685AA86F85 | And that is how I would convince that person that the Face is just a natural landform. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
63756177ba22 | B78A347F570E | I would like to express my opininioun on keeping existance to the Electoral Collage.
| Position | Effective |
2ada057be0d4 | B78A347F570E | The Electoral Collage Creates a dicided ground; as whell as, equal and justified representation. | Claim | Effective |
d4905492dc47 | B78A347F570E | Abolishment of the Electoral Collage would not give power to all states and, would highten potential for bias political leaders.
| Claim | Effective |
49b2e9bb03af | B78A347F570E | The presedental election enables citizen to vote for any idea and share a final one. For instance: you and your 3 friends are deciding on a what they want for dinner you have more athority because you are driving. You have a conflicting mind; part of you wants mexican food, american, and the another an asian style quisine. Your friends all have up their mind; 1 mexican, 2 asian, you still are un-decided. | Evidence | Adequate |
08331a5412bf | B78A347F570E | If a system similar to the Electoral Collage was established you could use majority to dicide on mexican food. | Claim | Ineffective |
b6146af1dc99 | B78A347F570E | Without part of your mind (state delegations) all deciding on one thing you would either: try to comprimise by inconvieniocing your party to stopping at 2 restaurants or decide that you all would not eat. | Evidence | Adequate |
b817264e6393 | B78A347F570E | Many argue that without the Electoral Collage equal power would be given to the people and that "most people worry is the prosepct of a tie in the electoral vote"-source 2. | Counterclaim | Effective |
ee8d872d2f47 | B78A347F570E | Even a equal representation or the "equal voting system" would create clear distinction having asian won. "Most states have a "winner-take-all" system that awards all electors"-source 1. | Rebuttal | Adequate |
2fc92a64d81e | B78A347F570E | In the example previous; you could dicide that since you were undicided or the party was undicided, you would not dine. This could happen; however, the election should operate more on the the principals of the Electoral Collage to prevent this. In example: "The popular vote was very close in Florida [in 2012]; nevertheless Obama, who won that vote, got 29 electoral votes. A victory by the same margin in Wyoming would net the winner only 3 electoral votes."-source 3. | Evidence | Effective |
0f2df2474ea4 | B78A347F570E |
In the event that only Texas, Florida and, California voted yes and the rest of the country voted no, The vote would be no. | Evidence | Adequate |
35e6f4d756a8 | B78A347F570E | Without Electoral Collage the country would been towards the choice of largely populated states not swing states that carry only 1 vote. | Claim | Adequate |
e483c27bfad3 | B78A347F570E | "if an electoral tie seems unlikely,"- source 2.
| Evidence | Adequate |
bad5f72c6993 | B78A347F570E | The Electoral Collage keeps the contry functioning not on the popular majority of voters to prevent comprimise. Having a decided union prevents seperation that tour our contry apart in the Civil War. We should keep the Electoral Collage; because, the only real flaw in the system is uneducated voters. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
1c07f6beef90 | B79D1BD832C1 | Different places from all over the world have different ways of choosing a leader . In the U.S we run a anachronism ,non-democratic method of selecting a president . When choosing a president it is a competition between Democrats and republicans . | Lead | Adequate |
5287504cf2cf | B79D1BD832C1 | I think it is best to keep the Electoral college | Position | Effective |
3e234d0818ff | B79D1BD832C1 | because it wouldnt be fair to citizens | Claim | Effective |
c4d2711186a1 | B79D1BD832C1 | its a thrill for the presidents to share there thoughts for upcoming events to change the world. | Claim | Adequate |
19821be18f06 | B79D1BD832C1 | The U.S is supposably a free country , everyone has a right to vote , and freedom of speech ; if congress decides to not do electoral college , then it wouldnt be fair to citizens | Claim | Effective |
db25d34a4e36 | B79D1BD832C1 | Reason being is that , youd be hipocrytical , saying everyone has a right but you wouldnt let citizens pick who they would like to have run for president . People , would loose trust in the U.S if they didnt get a chance to atleast vote for president , everyone would be against U.S and most likely leave . Even if the people who voted for the future president theyd like didnt win they still will be satisfied enough , because they tried . | Evidence | Ineffective |
9b70de76f12b | B79D1BD832C1 | When future presidents go up for election they become nervous , start to sweat , start to think twice about what they wanna say ,how are they gonna propose what to say , and to think are they really gonna keep their promise ? | Evidence | Ineffective |
29897e933904 | B79D1BD832C1 | To know what to say , to bring people in , to share his/hers thoughts to change the world we live in . If congress were to change that , they wouldnt get a chance to share all there ideas with us , to get to know us as a family, to what we would like to help others . Without there annoying pep talks how do we know they dont wanna ruin the world ? | Evidence | Ineffective |
07d70ee152d9 | B79D1BD832C1 | Yeah its annoying | Counterclaim | Adequate |
4d1556785ff7 | B79D1BD832C1 | but its worth standing there or watching it on telivision to hear , to feel the excitement of there ideas to help the low class , to help every class not evan the low class , its everyone to help everyone in the own ways . | Rebuttal | Ineffective |
9bbb7b07e426 | B79D1BD832C1 | The reasons for keeping the electoral college are that it really wouldnt be fair to citizens , and the thrill for upcoming presidents wouldnt be able to share there wonderful thoughts to change billions of lifes | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |
469a9a03dd3b | B79F66D2BECA | The Electoral College process should be kept because of its many purposes and the fact that it was established for a reason | Position | Adequate |
6ad129edfebd | B79F66D2BECA | since it's easy and simple and has absolutely no hassle for counting up the votes and adding up the individual votes made by the people of the state. | Claim | Adequate |
29334343be27 | B79F66D2BECA | Since the electoral college process only consists of 538 electors that are selected, meeting of the electors who vote for the president and vuce president, and the counting of the electoral votes by the congress. | Evidence | Ineffective |
9f59d568c0be | B79F66D2BECA | This is a easy and simple process that causes no hassles since it has a sense of democracy and organization with it.
| Claim | Adequate |
3234121572a7 | B79F66D2BECA | The electoral college process is very fair since which ever candidate running gets the majority of 270 electoral votes. | Claim | Adequate |
5c17988e464c | B79F66D2BECA | It's a organized sysytem that doesn't base off of popularity which is fair because if you vote by popularity and have a president in office that everyone voted for but is running the country into the ground because of terrible reasoning and democracy the people and the states are to blame for voting for a president who wasn't guarnteed to keep his or her word about solving the country's problems. | Evidence | Ineffective |
1487ada674c7 | B79F66D2BECA | The electoral college process does need a few tweaks here and there but that's something to take up to the president or congress. | Counterclaim | Adequate |
4bb06c4b5952 | B79F66D2BECA | The electoral system needs fixes in place such as what would be good for the state and changing its laws and the system being able to work with the boundaries that certain states have with their own different voting process and its laws how the voting process works. | Evidence | Ineffective |
c660e4484a03 | B79F66D2BECA | It may also need work on how the system supposed to work instead of voting for the people who will be in the electoral colleges to vote for the president you would like to vote for. The voice of the people should be heard instead of casted out by different state electors and representatives that may see his or her own views differently than the people of the state do. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
a16640459195 | B7BC85276656 | I think community service is a very important requirement to have in schools. We all live in a community, so we all need to work as a community. | Position | Effective |
5c61e53cc45b | B7BC85276656 | Where would we be if people didn't help each other out? | Claim | Adequate |
b0304ba40846 | B7BC85276656 | If we didn't take the time to do something for the ones around us? No where. We would all still be living in caves! community service has helped us all at some point. even if it doesn't have to-do directly with ourselves, like cleaning the trash out for parks or giving clothes and other necessities to Goodwill or The Salvation Army.
| Evidence | Adequate |
ef45f9dd7dab | B7BC85276656 | Lending a hand in some way would teach kids life lessons we would carry with us for the rest of our lives | Claim | Effective |
95e49e8239ff | B7BC85276656 | Spending time in the community just a few times a month would teach hard work, how to work well with others, and how in order to be able to take you have to give back. Also how to accept differences, because everyone you meet wont be the same as you are, or think the same as you might. | Evidence | Effective |
42beecf0addb | B7BC85276656 | I understand many students are not open to this idea or don't want to work out side of school. | Counterclaim | Effective |
91d9dbf2fafd | B7BC85276656 | Extra credit could be offered as a way to help motivate students | Rebuttal | Effective |
b552edf7865e | B7BC85276656 | An extra point couldvery hour spend working in the community. high school credits could be given. maybe you could choose how much time a month you would spend doing community service. there could be a group service project so you could work with friends to make it seem like fun! | Evidence | Effective |
bf6774ebbaae | B7BC85276656 | Community service is necessary in our world to be able to perform and have the things that we do. it teaches life lessons that might help in a job search later in life. that is why in my opinion there should be a community service requirement at our school. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
f8c165e9a831 | B7C17E1993BA | Most people may not like who are next president is gonna be but all just have to deal with it because we all cant go back and pick who we wont to be president. | Claim | Ineffective |
9f206ff7d551 | B7C17E1993BA | It all depends on how many votes a person gets. Some may get only one vote and others will get millions of vote it all depends on if they think your good enough to rule your your county. It is very hard for you to make a decsion that big. | Evidence | Ineffective |

14227654122a | B7E1A842F675 | The certainty of outcome is that the winning candidate's share of the Electoral College invariably exceeds his share of the popular vote,because almost all states award Electoral votes compared to popular votes. | Claim | Adequate |
1983b4862c59 | B7E1A842F675 | The swing states uses a method called winner-takes-all by awarding Electoral votes which induces the candidates.
