ed74e00b20d5 | EB16CD7EC3E6 | When someone thinks of the future, he or she may think of crazy gadgets that are made of technology years and years from our own time. However, humans aren't too far off from making these gadgets a reality. In particular, research and many tests concerning driverless cars have been happening for quite some time now. It gets people wondering though; does the development of these driverless cars reap more benefits than negatives? | Lead | Effective |
4b160c91affc | EB16CD7EC3E6 | In my opinion, the development of driverless cars should be supported because of it will bring efficiency and safety for the entire human race. | Position | Effective |
66b273410ea8 | EB16CD7EC3E6 | the development of driverless cars can bring efficiency to the day-to-day life of an average human. | Claim | Effective |
b7c8713274e8 | EB16CD7EC3E6 | The vision for these cars is that they will be a part of, "a public-transport taxi system. The cars [Google cofounder Sergey Brin] foresees would use half the fuel of today's taxis." The United States is one of the largest sources of oil consumption, and we tend to get all of our gas from other countries. With the direction these cars seem to be taking, we'd not only reduce the amount of gas we use in the United States, but in the entire world. We wouldn't be emitting nearly as much air pollution either. The benefit of public transportation is also significant due to the fact that, it too, decreases all of these factors. Based on my knowledge, most European countries tend to consume a lot less oil than the United States because they use public transportation. It's a lot more efficient than everyone owning an individual car and driving. By supporting the development of driverless cars, all of these imaginable benefits for the efficiency of transportation can become a reality. | Evidence | Effective |
65d489e0eaf6 | EB16CD7EC3E6 | the development of driverless cars can aid in concerns of safety. | Claim | Effective |
c217aeb74023 | EB16CD7EC3E6 | As the passage says, "Within 10 years, [] sensors had become more advanced to detect and respond to the danger of out-of-control skids or rollovers ... Further improvements in sensors and computer hardware and software to make driving safer are also leading to cars that can handle more and more driving tasks on their own." This is extemely significant, seeing as how automobile accidents are one of the leading causes of death in the United States. With these driverless cars, people are able to step in when absolutely necessary; other than that, the car can sense most danger and avoid it. These cars so far allow for "far better response and control than a human driver could manage alone." We are already in a great spot as safety is concerned, and with further development comes even better improvements. If what Sergey Brin envisions becomes a reality, driverless cars could be the cause of a lot less death in automobile accidents worldwide.
| Evidence | Effective |
f74f94f9567c | EB16CD7EC3E6 | the development of the driverless car has come very far in the very short time that it's been around. It's already allowed for a safer experience with automated brakes, multiple sensors, and notifications to the driver when something is wrong. With even further development than what we have already, safety could eventually not be a concern at all. With that being developed, so too are ways in efficiency and cost of transportation. By being for the development of driverless cars, so many significant benefits could be here in the years to come. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
e43b7043c971 | EB382D12574F | DO YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE PRESIDENTIAL VOTE?
At long on the History, There's strange and curios case in the story of the political, especialy in United State of America (U.S.A) The political allways had serius problems, like corruption, the confusion of what president choose, the bad counting vote, etc. But with all those problems that happens in the world.. How United States choose good presidents? First, we are going to talk about the curius case in the U.S.A talking about the political and how U.S.A choose the future president. | Lead | Adequate |

Kennedy. Or the other case that the Electoral system in those times it was very confused and for each state it represents 1 vote so The legendary John Kerry wins 34 democratics votes. There was alot of controversy. | Evidence | Ineffective |
4c4c3b5a33c2 | EB382D12574F | But with all those problems, how those U.S.A choose good there presidents? The goverment like there citizen have clearly 5 things (according the article wrote by Richard A. Posner) | Claim | Ineffective |
7e99b96e9504 | EB382D12574F | That are: ''Certainty of Outcome'' That is selecting a president that ougth to be who most votes receives is the winner. ''Everyone's President'' Means that is a resulr by a candidate with only regional appeal is unlikely to be a successful president.''Swing State'' Is a method of awarding electoral votes induces the candidates.''Big States'' Is a large state that gets more attention from presidentail candidates in a campaign than small state does.. And the last one is ''Avoid Run'off Elections'' That it could be argued method selecting the president may turn off by potential voters. | Evidence | Adequate |

b92e1ff8218c | EB3D0704BCF0 | the people who love to do community service should get extra credit. They should also get extra time after and before school to hang out with their friends. | Claim | Adequate |
a48e104ffd7f | EB3D0704BCF0 | you ask why?? because they help a lot doing community service. cleaning up is good to the environment, but their wasting their time just doing the same thing over and over again. Like helping kids, is good to help them do better but you can get annoyed very easy. cleaning up the litter is good because if an animal eats aluminum foil it can choke and then die, you don't want that to happen right??? But the people who help should get day off of working and do school work, or help a teacher, that can be fun. | Evidence | Adequate |

7cdb0b00588b | EB3D0704BCF0 | hey should think twice because it can be fun, but it helps a lot in life. It can help the fact that you can do something that helps. ......ALOT! like you can help at home. Earn cash, to buy cleaning supply's. That can help save animals, humans, life. But for the who don't care to help, you should help, do some community service. You can get extra credit, you can help little kids and save animals life's. | Rebuttal | Adequate |
e4ef34a73e12 | EB3D0704BCF0 | Community service is actually pretty fun from experience, and i want to clean up litter. | Concluding Statement | Ineffective |
83f6c809a28e | EB3EBF4BB344 | Do you really think aliens exist? It is belived by some that on mars aliens shaped a type of face on the planet. Others belive it is just a natural land form with a funny shape that looks like a face. | Lead | Adequate |
ba28c6703c1a | EB3EBF4BB344 | If you are one of those people who think aliens shaped it you will think differnt by the time your done reading the essay.
| Position | Adequate |
1559397e047a | EB3EBF4BB344 | Something very mystereous happened in mars 25 years ago. NASA discovered a landform in mars that looked like a very large face. When NASA looked closer in they decided it looked like a pharoh, which is like an old egyptian god. Ever since NASA revealed the mysterious face has become a big pop icon, has starred in movies and multiple talk shows. There has been only very few scientists who belived the face was made by aliens. NASA was very interested in the face so they started taking closer and closer looks. NASA used more powerful lenses which let you get a better look at it. | Evidence | Adequate |
d407716fe4cd | EB3EBF4BB344 | NASA finnaly figured out it was a natural land form. They even went back more than one time to check and everything still proved it was just a natural landform. | Claim | Ineffective |
3e06d18f5d69 | EB3EBF4BB344 | What do you think, Is it an alien or is it a natural land form? Facts have proven that it is a natural land form. But all people will never agree if it is an ailen who made it or not. Hopefully this essay proves to you that this face is just a natural land form, but the world might never know. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |

632ba969d59e | EB935594E696 | Is better keep the Electoral College or change to election by popular vote for the president of the Unite States ? | Lead | Adequate |

| Position | Adequate |
1198154c46b2 | EB935594E696 | One reason why you have to keep the electoral college is beacuse they can vote for their president, | Claim | Adequate |
474b234482c8 | EB935594E696 | the presidental election is realized every four years after the first monday of November. When the presidental election is done the governor of each state has to prepare a Certificate of Arcertainment how the Federal Register says. Not only keep the electoral college allow to vote just for their president , they also when they are voting for their president they are voting for their electoral. | Evidence | Adequate |
eba9309dd116 | EB935594E696 | Moreover why you have to keep the electoral college is because when they vote for their president they are trusting on their electoral because if they vote for their president they are actually giving a vote to their electors. | Claim | Ineffective |
d66e8a530047 | EB935594E696 | The governor has to prepare the Certificate of Ascertainment.
What the Certificate of Ascertainment do is that it declares the winning presindential of the state and it doesn't just declares who is the winning presidential it additionaly shows you will electors are going to represent your state atr the meeting of the electors in December of the election Year.

e216f6d88dee | EBD070DAE867 | As technology continues to advance, cars are seeing advancements in safety and driving capabilities that go further than what the driver can do. Cars the can sense when the car needs to break if the driver is distracted. Brakes that are anti-lock which means they distribute different amounts of braking pressure to wheels that may have more traction to prevent loss of control. | Lead | Adequate |
bbffa7497599 | EBD070DAE867 | All of these things are very good for cars and keeping drivers safe but are we close to seeing the "Driverless Car"? | Position | Ineffective |
6ccf356b6473 | EBD070DAE867 | Cars have features now that can help or completely park themselves with the use of sensors. Many helpful gadgets that may help if human error occurs and can even prevent collisions | Claim | Adequate |
763234d7ee9b | EBD070DAE867 | But then you have to also consider if this technology were to fail or have glitches that could be very dangerous. | Counterclaim | Effective |
230acbb277ee | EBD070DAE867 | We can not know how these "smart cars" will age and how we can update the technology in them.
| Evidence | Adequate |
fc4dcc055c0f | EBD070DAE867 | It is definitely possible to create a self-driving car. | Claim | Adequate |
7ec50b78004b | EBD070DAE867 | Many different organizations have succesfully done it but on closed tracks. These tracks do not have the real world complications that can arise such as road work or accidents that cause the car to go on alternate paths because the original one is blocked. This is when the human must take over and redirect the car. | Evidence | Adequate |
816c0f8e2f26 | EBD070DAE867 | Although there is this talk of a car that can drive without a human, we have not seen a car that is reliable and safe enough to be trusted without the driver being ready to take over when needed. | Claim | Adequate |
14a330dec380 | EBD070DAE867 | If the driver has to sit at ready all the time then how is it a driverless car? As a driver, I know what I am capable of and I feel best when I am driving and I am in control. It would take a whole lot of trust for me to just turn my car on autopilot and let it take over considering there are many things that can happen while you are driving down the road. Many questions come up, such as, Will the car react in time? Will the technology even know to react? Will the car safely and controllably avoid whatever obsticle is thrown it's way. All these things change if the driver is sitting back not driving because the car apparently can do it all by itself.
Eventually, in the future, it is very possible to see cars with an autopilot function or other self-driving techniques but we are a long way from cars driving without human help. | Evidence | Adequate |
5a9d8356b9de | EBD070DAE867 | Laws in all but four states make it illegal to use a car that drives itself | Claim | Adequate |
bbbb6f91d04e | EBD070DAE867 | because, "lawmakers know that safety is best achieved with alert drivers" (Paragraph 9). So it is obvious that we have a ways to go from a legal standpoint until you will see cars driving themselves on these American roads. This set aside, the advancements in technology is doing wonderful things in the safety category. Cars can avoid collisions or alert drivers if they make mistakes like going over the center double yellow lines. This helps prevent the awful head on collision of two cars. | Evidence | Adequate |
f007c1dd6097 | EBD070DAE867 | In conclusion, we are not terribly far from cars driving themselves. It is more a safety and trust concern rather than the technology being there. Cars will drive themselves more and more but with the aid of the driver always being there and capable of taking over at any time. But does this make them self-driving if the driver must be present and paying attention at all times? Why not keep their attention by just letting the driver, you know, DRIVE? | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
bfe47c883248 | EBF9131A638F | Distance learning is a new learning method for students to attend classes from home by online or you can video conference. Schools have brought distance learning in their system for students can do their assignments from home. Many people think this is a great idea and some oppose to this learning method. The schools can see if they are on track or online to their classes but if they arn't in the online class they will be behind in their assignments. Is this new learning method a great way to learn? or does being in a class with a teacher more beneficial for the student? | Lead | Adequate |
99d79d20cd06 | EBF9131A638F | The main problem in distance learning is if students are really getting on the online class. | Claim | Adequate |
543e8117aaea | EBF9131A638F | Students who do get on are on task and on point. The students who get on the computer and get on the online class for a short period of time at home might be playing, or might not be concentrated, because he is at home and dosen't feel like doing it. Students who don't do their assignments they wait until they are at school because in school you arn't distracted like at home you are concentrated and ready to work. Is distance learning beneficial for students at home? for some students it might be but for many it isn't. | Evidence | Adequate |
10bd6e5d5802 | EBF9131A638F | Is online learning at home beneficial for students? some students do think its beneficial and a really great idea | Claim | Adequate |
0c632d5ddbd4 | EBF9131A638F | Many people prefer learning in class with a teacher because they can ask questions if they don't get the question that is being asked. Students do some of their work but get off in a short period of time if they are at home, if they were at school the students would be on task and doing their assignments, unlike at home they would be off task. Many students prefer teachers teaching them so they can get more information of what they are being taught. Distance learning isn't capable of doing what you do in a classroom. Is distance learning really beneficial? | Evidence | Adequate |
7e4c8cdcefe4 | EBF9131A638F | Is being taught in a classroom more beneficial for students? many students prefer being taught by a teacher than online. Students are more productive and they share their thoughts and explanations in that specific assignment than online classroom | Claim | Adequate |
10244377005b | EBF9131A638F | All the students are in the same page and all gathering more information by writing notes and being concentrated in their tasks. Students are more interactive with each other and sharing thoughts and many techniques to get the answers by fellow classmates, also getting good grades. Classroom learning is beneficial for many students and teachers. | Evidence | Adequate |

a8e73291bbe6 | EBF9131A638F | Students will say this is the best way for learning other no this is, it doesn't matter what you think is the best way to learn its how you enjoy learning something it is the best way for you. The students who prefer distance learning really do it at home and feel like they are learning mush more at than in a classroom. Students who enjoy learning in a classroom like being around peers and want knowledge from everyone around them. They are both beneficial for that specific student. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |

e020b7b3f836 | EC145DC83EBE | but in Electoral College electors pick and vote for who they think would be the best President for instance if you lived in Texas and want to vote for John Kelly you would have to vote for slate 34 Democratic electors pledged to Kelly in Electoral College but in popular voting you could vote for anyone you wanted to and not someone who pledged that person. | Evidence | Adequate |
e7afb8eaf48b | EC145DC83EBE | The third reason why popular voting would be better is because Electoral College was unfair, outdated, and irrational | Claim | Adequate |
c5199cd6c86b | EC145DC83EBE | is also a turn off potential voters for a candidate who has no hope of carrying their states like them knowingtheir votes will have no effect witch makes them pay less attention to Electoral College voting. | Evidence | Adequate |

be92d1ea7a2b | EC1D25B7A42E | Students will benefit from having the option to attend classes from home. There are several schools that offer the choice to learn from home and students have been able to benefit from it. Allowing students to have a choice in their education offers relief from forcing them to learn a certain way that brings them discomfort.

b6a14925ff8c | EC1D25B7A42E | Allowing students to attend classes from home removes stress from having to do assignments in a rush; however, there are certain programs that do have time limits for assignments, some give students a leeway to do them. For example, my cousin felt stress and discomfort at his school with the way he was learning, so my family moved him to online learning at home, and now he is in a better environment to succeed in his education. | Evidence | Effective |

2020d93d3f12 | EC1D25B7A42E | while it might be true, we can see how students can be affected by observing them. Furthermore, certain environments give prime examples of how comfort affects the way students receive knowledge.
| Rebuttal | Effective |
c87ab4c5d28a | EC1D25B7A42E | In the world some people are not provided with many choices in how they want their life to be, so offering the option to students is a pleasant idea. | Claim | Effective |
fcb48fa7869e | EC1D25B7A42E | Some children in other parts of the world do not get to have a choice in how they receive an education, so giving the option does matter. Each student perceives knowledge in a different way and because the world is changing with technology and the internet, attending classes at home by the way of online or video conferencing does not sound like such a horrific idea. | Evidence | Effective |
04a4e8956cb0 | EC1D25B7A42E | There are people who do not like the idea of changing the way students learn because they are terrified of change, so offering the choice is a problem to many. | Counterclaim | Adequate |
a915e772a582 | EC1D25B7A42E | Others have the belief that giving the choice to students on how they want to learn is an amazing idea because it allows them to have a say in how they want to go about their education. | Rebuttal | Adequate |
a97f4c56e6de | EC1D25B7A42E | One last benefit of allowing students to learn from home is that they will be prepared for the future if they decide to pursue a job or career that makes you work from home. | Claim | Effective |

c01c35f56e27 | EC1D25B7A42E | Plenty of people have made incredible careers from the experience of learning at home, so it is a possibility for those students who get the chance to learn at home. Students will have a chance to be prepared for a possible future if they so desire while getting a different learning experience from it all. | Evidence | Adequate |
28d789a6ecb0 | EC1D25B7A42E | In conclusion, students will benefit in different ways from being offered the option to attend classes at home. Schools are allowing students to have a say in their education which is what matters because choices are considered to be something important. Attending classes at home allows students to have an option in the way they receive knowledge because it could be a fun, unique, and new way of learning for them. While students will be in a pleasant environment, will be given a choice, and will be prepared for something in a near future. Furthermore, changing the way students learn will be a key part in the future when everything changes with time. | Concluding Statement | Effective |
