85d8cbe59b40 | DFB9E05148CD | Students should be able to do community service, | Position | Adequate |
ea8b45a2280d | DFB9E05148CD | its great for the community and their moral caricature. | Claim | Adequate |
defd18accd0d | DFB9E05148CD | for example say someone wishes to clean up the trash polluting the community and the land around it in this case the service is needed its good for the community, the school, and the wild-life. Or if their going to help out at a shelter or a church, the service is needed greatly for the homeless, animals, and elderly. And the school which is part of the community should help with donations, food drives, and clothing banks. community service is greatly needed everywhere, since others cant do it by themselves its best to give are neighbors a had every once in a while. That's why we need community service its good for the community and school. | Evidence | Effective |
491f5569e6fa | DFB9E05148CD | And if we didn't have community service then the community would be devastated. | Claim | Effective |
8b791a59598b | DFB9E05148CD | Trash would clutter lots, homeless people and animals would have nowhere to go and the elderly wouldn't get the assistance they need like when some one walks them down the street. or helps them up or down stairs. with out the community's help many people and animals would suffer or go with out. And that could hurt a community very badly. And it pains most students to see these poor people and innocent animals suffer or have to live in such filthy conditions. that's why we ask for community service it makes the community and are self's feel better. So why don't you allow the children who want to help, help. | Evidence | Effective |

7ed32dd6818d | DFF14B9DA264 | Though driverless cars may be a thing of the future, my vote is a no. Driverless cars are a bad idea no matter who is behind the wheel. | Position | Effective |
c7a2790c0100 | DFF14B9DA264 | Not only are the drivers put at risk but other people on the roads are put in grave danger when a human is not controlling the vehicle. | Evidence | Adequate |

754a8ed3749f | DFF14B9DA264 | but the lack of safety tips the scales towards the negative side. | Rebuttal | Effective |
e3ba50c63cb4 | DFF14B9DA264 | A driverless car's name portrays the idea that humans do not need to be in control of the car that idea is incorrect. | Claim | Effective |
9df415be34fd | DFF14B9DA264 | Drivers must stay allert and focused while in a driverless car. This is evident when the text states,"They can steer, accelerate, and brake themselves, but all are designed to notify the driver when the road ahead requires human skills, such as navigating through work zones and around accidents." (7) This is concerning because people today tend to get distracted while driving a normal car. If the actual driving factor is taken away, drivers could get distracted by almost anything from technology to falling asleep. This would result in serious fatality to not only th person behind the wheel but to people around them. | Evidence | Effective |
9a34e2f79878 | DFF14B9DA264 | In addition, the new entertainment systems in a car may be a new and alien experiance, they point to a rough road ahead. | Claim | Effective |
6688bb074099 | DFF14B9DA264 | In an attempt to get the driver to pay attention while driving a driverless car, entertainment systems may be inserted in the car. This is pointed out when the text says,"Some manufacturers hope to do that by bringing in-car entertainment and information systems that use heads-up displays." (8) Though these systems may keep the driver engaged, when it is time to take over the shift from watching or listening to a system to driving a car may take an extended period of time. The driver would also need to gain a sense of where he or she is while driving in order to take control. This would result in an increase in accident on the road. | Evidence | Effective |
221fa66e1ec7 | DFF14B9DA264 | No one is perfect and accidents do happen but in a driverless car who is to blame? This issue could cause serious law cases and court battles over injuries or damages indured in a crash with a driverless car. | Claim | Effective |
ff9fd59f2bdd | DFF14B9DA264 | The article suggestd this when the text says,"If the technology fails and someone is inhured, who is at fault-the driver or the manufacturer?" (9) Not only does the confusion on who is to blame take immense time, it sucks thousands of dollars from the participants in a law suit. Though the court may rule otherwise, the accident could be a result of malfunctioning technology that can not be pinned to an individual. | Evidence | Effective |
f1dec031595f | DFF14B9DA264 | On the other hand, driverless cars have multiple downsides, some aspects are clear improvements from automobiles today. | Counterclaim | Effective |
09c77e255b35 | DFF14B9DA264 | The new sensor techology inserted into the driverless cars can improve braking and response to sudden stops. The author includes this in the arguement when they say,"The information from the sensors can cause the car to apply brakes on individual wheels and reduce power from the engine, allowing far better response and control than a human driver could manage alone." (5) This would decrease the amount of damages done to cars from running into or backing over things because the sensors have eyes where the driver does not. The sensors can provide an advantage to safe driving that would not come from any ordinary car.
| Evidence | Effective |
61f4a1853d44 | DFF14B9DA264 | All in all, driverless cars are unsafe and an illogical invention. The lack of attention that is needed when not driving a car will result in mass accidents and injuries when a driver is needed. Entertainment systems in cars only add to the danger in driverless cars and are unnecessary. Crashes and accidents can not be settled or avenged in court because there is no clear cause to the incident. Though the sensor technology incorporated in the driverless cars gives an advantage for braking and controling the vehicle, the bad outweighs the good in this situation. Driverless cars may be a thing of the future but as of right now, humans are not ready to hit the road without a person behind the wheel. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
37b7a27aa04e | E068A1BBFE50 | I think the Electoral College should be changed to popular vote | Position | Adequate |
cdf5ee6051ee | E068A1BBFE50 | because we have a lot of close presedential race nowadays. | Claim | Ineffective |
d72bcfe80e31 | E068A1BBFE50 | We also need to change the voting system because candidates are focusing on the "swing states" instead of all the states in the U.S.A | Claim | Adequate |
715354e4c1e5 | E068A1BBFE50 | We also have the problem where one candidate can win the Electoral College and the other candidate can win the popular vote. It happened in 2000, when Gore had more popular votes than Bush yet fewer electoral votes. | Evidence | Adequate |
1e59c63f7ef2 | E068A1BBFE50 | If we get rid of the Electoral College then we won't have to deal with people stressing about the candidate who should've won and the candidate who actually won. | Claim | Adequate |
b4c36a559af1 | E068A1BBFE50 |
I would rather have my vote be counted towards the president that I picked instead of electors who might pick that person. | Claim | Adequate |
0ba8fb10e8c0 | E068A1BBFE50 | If I live in a democratic state and I'm Republican, then my vote is most likely not going to count because the electors are going to vote for the other president since the state is known to be a democratic state. Then we wonder why people don't vote; it's mostly because they know which candidate is going to win that state. With popular vote , nobody knows who will win the presidency because all 50 states have equal representation. No one state will be greater than the other. | Evidence | Adequate |
38d9dbb3c9aa | E068A1BBFE50 | "A Gallup poll in 2000, taken shortly after AL Gore won the popular vote but lost the presidency, over 60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election," | Evidence | Adequate |
03893f91baf1 | E068A1BBFE50 | people are already thinking about having the direct election rather than the Electoral College. | Claim | Adequate |
7a14692795b4 | E06960D4A6C1 | With all the problems affiliated with the Electoral College, I believe that the United States should do away with the process. | Position | Effective |
a98883d3269e | E06960D4A6C1 | This process by which the president is elected is unfair to those of us who are old enough to vote and understand politics | Claim | Effective |
1d254ce796a6 | E06960D4A6C1 | Another disadvantage is that the system of Electoral College is very confusing to many people. | Claim | Effective |
0db5983aa10f | E06960D4A6C1 | Men who are running for a spot as a presidental candidate are not voted for by the citizens of that state. They have to gain supporters who then become the electors. Then the people of that state have to vote for the electors, not the person to become a presidental candidate. Voters can't even directly vote for who they want. What if you vote for a slate of electors, who are supposed to be in favor of the presidnetal candidate you want, but don't vote for him? What happens then? Presidental candidates who should actually get a chance at running for president because they didn't get enough electoral votes. | Evidence | Effective |
28fc89a9e692 | E06960D4A6C1 | As stated in an article by Bradford Plumer, "... Al Gore ---thanks to the quirks of the electoral college---won the popular vote but lost the presidency." The person running for president should be voted for directly by the voters. Someone, such as Al Gore, can get enough of the popular votes, but not enough of the electoral votes becuase they can't swing the votes in some states. This basically means that the majority of the United States would like to have Al Gore as a president, but couldn't because the majority of people in a state didn't want him as president. | Evidence | Effective |
c4e26f62cef7 | E06960D4A6C1 | To sum it up, the Electoral College should be eliminated from the presidental voting process. People should just directly vote for who they want as president and see where it goes from there. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
3243c1a25077 | E0737CDC1E99 | I favor of keeping the electoral college instead of changing to election by popular vote for the president of the United States because it is fair. | Position | Adequate |
0f4439ae15c2 | E0737CDC1E99 | Everyone see's something different in a president, we will see good and bad things. There are five very good reasons why we should keep our despised methode of choosing the president, which is known as the electoral college | Evidence | Adequate |
a08a38243f95 | E0737CDC1E99 | Certainty of outcome: A dispute over the outcome of an electoral college vote is possible-it happend in 2000-but it's less likely than a dispute over the popular group. | Claim | Effective |
d93e55b5c4d2 | E0737CDC1E99 | For example in 2012's election Obama recieved 61.7 percent of the electoral vote compared to only 51.3 percent of the popular votes cast for him and Romney.

b6d238e27b84 | E0737CDC1E99 | as we saw in 2012's election-to focus their r compaign efforts on the toss-up states...voters in toss up states are more likely to pay close attention to the compaign. | Evidence | Adequate |
e3a1a49d0894 | E0737CDC1E99 | Big states: | Claim | Ineffective |

9286db8118fc | E0737CDC1E99 | 5. Avoid Run-Off Elections: | Claim | Ineffective |
e2c8aca7ec8d | E0737CDC1E99 | It can be argued that the Electoral College method of selecting the president may turn off potential voters for a candidate who has no hope of carrying their state-democrates in Texas, for example, or Republicans in California. Knowing their vote will have no effect, they have less incentive to pay attention to the compaign than they would have if the president were picked by popular vote. | Evidence | Ineffective |
82f7e50a2f32 | E0737CDC1E99 | the Electoral college consists of 538 electors. A majority of 270 electoral votes is required to elect the president. Your state's entitled allotment of ellectors equals the number of members in its congressional delegation: one for each member in the house of representatives plus two for you senators.
Under the 23rd Amendment of the constitution, the District of Columbia is allocated 3 electors and treated like a state for purposes of the electoral college. For this reason in the following discussion, the word ''state'' also refers to the district of Columbia. | Evidence | Ineffective |
1bbe56893c26 | E0737CDC1E99 | Overall i think the Electoral College is better, one of the reasons why i think that is because you have a better chance of getting more votes. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
46a5364c600e | E079C8DE0D1E | I think that students should be allowed to use there cell phones during lunch. Because it is there free time and there not in class. Cell phones shouldn't be allowed on in the classrooms, but lunch time. | Lead | Adequate |
e61bf0584a04 | E079C8DE0D1E | So I would have to agree with policy 1. You should allow students to bring there cell phones to school as long as there off in the classrooms. | Position | Adequate |
d364d4dfb687 | E079C8DE0D1E | Just in case there is an emergency after school while walking home or waiting for your parents to get them | Claim | Adequate |
0e899bca6dca | E079C8DE0D1E | Students should also be allowed to have them on after school even though it still on school grounds. You the principal or vice principal should allow cell phones on during lunch time, because the students are not bothering anybody it is there free time. | Evidence | Adequate |
294f3e9c1469 | E079C8DE0D1E | We just maybe want to listen to music, play games, text, or call people on our cell phones | Evidence | Adequate |
7ed6dfa5419a | E079C8DE0D1E | I honestly believe that it is really not fair that the teachers take away our cell phones while there out during free time or some other activity | Claim | Adequate |
1bc19cce93f7 | E079C8DE0D1E | Even if your at volleyball tryout's they should be allowed because you're not inside the classrooms disturbing other students your enjoying your own time. Others just want time of there own as they can during school hours, just get a break from all the homework or class work they have to do. | Evidence | Adequate |
9c697af6a8a8 | E079C8DE0D1E | Just for 40 minutes (lunch) of our day we want to use our cellular device. Everyone should have a chance at least every other Friday to have there cell phones on during lunch time. | Evidence | Ineffective |
e78a8b9c0dda | E079C8DE0D1E | probably more students would get better grades in English, Math, History, or Science if you allowed this opportunity to have cell phones out during lunch periods. | Claim | Adequate |
7cf58fc64184 | E09064F496DF | I am in favor of getting rid of the Electoral College. | Position | Adequate |
9dce43bd00ee | E09064F496DF | First of all, even if a candidate wins the most popular votes, they could still lose the election, which is not fair. Over 60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election to the kind that we have now. | Evidence | Adequate |
2e9f52f7c925 | E09064F496DF | The Electoral college is confusing to many, and voters can even get confused about the electors and vote for the wrong candidate. | Evidence | Adequate |
1d681aa8331f | E09064F496DF | there could always be a tie in the electoral vote. | Claim | Adequate |
c66f730f6ceb | E09064F496DF | If that were to happen then the election would be thrown to the House of Representatives, where people in the state would decide on the president. | Evidence | Ineffective |
0333e420f20f | E09064F496DF | The electoral college is unfair to voters. | Claim | Adequate |
bb6173b305d8 | E09064F496DF | Candidates spend time on "swing" states and not on the states that they have no chance of winning. According to the Indefensible Electoral College: Why even the best-laid defenses of the system are wrong article, the electoral college is "unfair, outdated, and irrational." | Evidence | Adequate |
a1b57aa8476d | E09064F496DF | In conclusion, the electoral college should be abolished. It is confusing, unfair, irrational, and the many people want it to change. The voting process should depend on the voice of the people, but with the electoral college, some of these voices have been taken. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
c81956702dee | E09853233CCF | Voting. Voting is a pretty big deal that only comes around so many years. And with voting the citizens of the U.S. have a voice. | Lead | Adequate |
62c0d825f790 | E09853233CCF | And also the voting method in which the president is elected by popular votes is just fine and it should be the only way people vote for their president. | Position | Adequate |
6a148de8bc4e | E09853233CCF | No one else should vote for them. The people have the right to choose who ever they want. And no one has the right to vote for any other person but them | Evidence | Ineffective |
1273df757170 | E09853233CCF | The popular is just fine because first of all the popular vote for president method is more fair than the electoral college voting method. | Claim | Adequate |
f7817f051d8a | E09853233CCF | Secondly, the popular vote for president is less complicated, where as the electoral college can cause complications and problems. | Claim | Adequate |
0e8a90e3ce95 | E09853233CCF | First, there really is no way of cheating in the popular vote method because people vote once for whom ever they want to be president out of the people elected and then the president is chosen that way. The popular votes method is more fair because candidates spend a little time in every if not majority of the states, depending on how much time they have. But as stated in the article written by Bradford Plumer in the electoral college voting method "candidates don't spend time in states they know they have no chance of winning, focusing only on the tight races in the "swing" states." That is not fair every state should be able to see the candidates who are going to be serving the country and see what they are like and how they can help the country. And this has happened before where the candidates didn't even bother showing up in some of the states. One example would be as stated in the article By Bradford Plumer "during the 2000 campaign, seventeeen states didn't see the candidates at all, including Rhode Island and South Carolina, and voters in 25 of the largest media markets didn't get to see a single campaign ad." Now how on earth can people vote for their new president if they have absoloutley no idea of what the president is capable of doing to help or even hurt the country. | Evidence | Adequate |
bf754e987110 | E09853233CCF | With the popular vote it is pretty straight forward and simple. The people vote for whom ever they want to be their next president and serve the country, the votes get counted up and whoever has the most votes gets to be the new president. But with the electoral college if a tie had occured as stated in the article written by Bradford Plumer "the election would be thrown to the House of Representatives, where state delegations vote on the president.(The Senate would choose the vice-president.) Because each state casts only one vote, the single from Wyoming, representing 500,000 voters, would have as much say as the 55 representatives from California, who represent 35 million voters." Now that sure seems to be complicated. Just one vote represents 500,000 or 35 million voters. The popular vote method is a lot more simple it doesn't require all of these steps. With the popular vote everyone votes and the majority of the votes is the winner, as simple as that. It doesn't require going to the representatives who vote for themselves and a whole bunch of other people as well. | Evidence | Adequate |
0f69e4884d85 | E09853233CCF | In conclusion, the popular vote method is better because it is more fair. It gives people a voice to choose for whom ever they want not what anybody else wants. Also, the popular vote method is a whole lot less complicated than the electoral college. Where if there is a tie the representatives vote for themselves and are also representing thousands of other people who may or may not want that specific candidate to be president. So voting is no joke it is serious and it shouldn't be taken as a joke either. Every person should have a voice they should be able to vote for who ever they desire. No one else should be able to vote for them, not even the representatives. Voting is no joke. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
1836ac2d90d0 | E0A3FC64B7D3 | The Electrical College is a process, not a place. The founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a compromise between election of a President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens. | Evidence | Ineffective |
13ee6e4c0fc8 | E0A3FC64B7D3 | The Electoral College process consists of the selection of the electors, the meeting of the electors where they vote for President and Vice President, and the counting of the electoral votes by Congress. Our state's entitled allotmeant of electors equals the number of members in its Congressional delegation: one for each member in the House of Representatives plus two for our Senators.
Each candidate running for President in our state has his or her own group of electors. The electors are generally chosen by the candidiate's political party, but state laws vary on how the electors are selected and what their responsibilities are. Most states have a "Winner-take-all
" system that awards al electors to the winning presidential candidate. However, Maine and Nebraska each have a variation of "proportional representation."
What have Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bob Dole, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and the AFL-CIO all, in their time, agreed on? Answer: Abolishing the electoral college! They're not alone; according to a Gallup poll in 2000, taken shortly after Al Gore- thanks to the quirks of the electoral college- won the popular vote but lost the presidency, over 60 percent of voters would prefer a direct election to the kind we have now. Under the electoral college system, voters vote not for the President, but for a slate of electors, who in turn elect the President. Sometimes state conventions, sometimes the state party's central commitee, sometimes the Presidential candidates themselves. The single best argument against the electoral college is what they might call the disaster factor. Perhaps most worrying is the prospct of a tie in the electoral vote. At the most basic level, the electoral college is unfair to voters.
The Electoral College is widely regarded as an anarchronism, a non-democratic method of selecting a President and ought to be [overruled] by declaring the candidate who recieves the most popular votes the winner. The advocates of this position are correct in arguing that the Electoral College method is not democratic in a modern sense. It is the electors who elect the the President, nort the people. When you vote for a Presidential candidate you're actually voting for a slate of electors. Yet this has happened very rarely. It happend in 2000, when Gore had more popular votes yet fewer electoral votes, but that was the first time since 1888. There are 5

| Position | Adequate |
06121698d33f | E0CD80A39381 | The Electoral College has been in place for many years and has produced good results. One good thing the Electoral College does is it prevents a candidate from becoming President if they only have regional appeal. | Counterclaim | Effective |
b4226632e430 | E0CD80A39381 | This is crutial because "a candidate with only regional appeal is unlikely to be a successful president" (Posner). With the Electoral College in place it makes it impossible to for a candidate with only regional appeal to become president because no region has enough electoral votes to elect them | Evidence | Effective |
810bfb08630c | E0CD80A39381 | Another helpful thing the Electoral College does is it has a certainty of outcome, so it is less likely for disputes than popular votes. | Counterclaim | Effective |
c6ec4baeca92 | E0CD80A39381 | It is less likely for disputes because "the winning candidate's share of the Electoral College invariably exceeds his share of the popular vote" (Posner). Even if a state has a few more votes for the Electoral College it still creates a huge victory. | Evidence | Effective |
c63d66b59ff9 | E0CD80A39381 | Even though the Electoral College has produces some good results, presidents being elected through popular vote will be better, more efficient, and more equal. | Rebuttal | Adequate |
543f2e5a6dca | E0CD80A39381 | Again, the popular vote will be more fair. It will be more fair because a president with more popular votes will win. In the Electoral College, a candidate with the most popular votes does not ensure victory because the other candidate may have more electoral votes. | Claim | Effective |
1c5af9a0c6f3 | E0CD80A39381 | his happened in 2000 when Al Gore got more popular votes, but lost the presidency (Plumer). The Electoral College is not fair to the citizens of this country and to the candidates. If more people prefer one candidate over the other, then the president should clearly clearly be them. | Evidence | Effective |
