STUDENT_NAMEPhones and Driving

In today's society, people have and use cell phones. Cell phones have become an addiction. People can't seem to put them down. Some people feel that people should not use their phones while driving their cars. I feel this way too. Using cell phones while driving have negative consequences in two ways. One, cell phones distract the driver. Two, cell phones are unsafe.

To begin with, phones can easily distract the person who's driving the car. The reason is that when that person is driving his car and when a notification ringer goes off, the driver would rush to his phone to see what came up. When this happens, he would then lose focus on the road and might kill someone. Whenever someone is driving his car he needs to focus on the road at all times. Distract driving is one of the main reasons why there's more car accidents in this country, especially Georgia. When the government starts enforcing no phones while driving, this will help end distractive driving and less car accidents would happen in cities and on the highway. Cell phones distracting the drivers is one of the main points why people should not use their phones while driving a car.

Next, drivers who use their phones while driving can be unsafe for the driver and other people who are around them. The reason is that when drivers are driving, they need to check their surroundings to make sure they do not hit someone or something. In the case of using a phone while driving can cause many deaths from getting run over/ hit from the car or from a car crash. This is really important that people need to be aware of what they're doing because if they make one mistake, it can cause a lot of lives. Safety is really important when it comes to using a phone because people can save lives if they put the phone down and focus on the road so that everyone can create a safer environment for people who want to drive their car. Most deaths are caused by car accidents due to using the phone while driving because people do not think about being safe not only for themselves but also the passengers who are in the car with them. Safety is one thing people need to take a stand on, because drivers need to realize that if they do not put the phone down, then it could create more deaths and less safety in the area.

In conclusion, drivers who use their phone while in the process of driving can end in an unsafe situation not only for themselves, but everyone that is around them. Distracting driving and safety are the two reasons why people should not use their phones while in the process of driving. Phones can easily take away the focus on the road because it leads to bad outcomes in the end. Community services is what helps keep Detroit safe in the time most. I would like to do community service to keep my hometown from going straight into the ground. This reading selection takes me back to my fifth grade, and everyday my friends and I would help some kindergartner's read and sound out word. Books like Green Eggs & Ham, the Cat in The Hat, even Nursery rhymes. Later, on that school when i graduated from the fifth grade me and my friends were rewarded for our help. Right now i have a cousin that just graduated from high school last year, and tutor from grades 1st-5th. He's been doing this for 6 years. Most of the kids he tutored are now in middle school and still talks about him every time I see them. Then, littering isn't my thing i have never just threw some trash on the ground. See I feel like i' m to intelligent or well mannered to just dirty up Detroit anything our should be trying to clean up our lovely city. Detroit has some of the biggest stars from the past, present, and future coming stars that's inside of I.usm nothing but 15 years old and i feel as if its up to me too Detroit back to its legendary statue. I do lots of things to do in my life, like play the bass guitar, play in my schools jazz band, play in my schools orchestra club, and with all of these talents i have i can teach them to some one out on the street and help the community by getting all of these hoodlums off the dangerous Detroit street and bring them to talents that they never knew that had. For the ones that don't want to help Detroit get better then oh well because my City, my Home, my Heart, and my Family Is Detroit, Michigan.I beieve that we should change the election to popular vote. It's about what the people want and what the majority of the people would like. You would not want people getting a President or Vice President that they do not like their beliefs on how to run a country, or despise to an extended amount. It's not right for the President and Vice President to say a bunch of things and not go through with it to the people. You shouldn't have only a few people vote or the President and not have your own opinion in the say of things.

People can get confused and vote for the wrong elector and not know what they really did. They can get confused and vote for he wrong candidate then the next thingt you know is that you have somebody running your country and you don't like the decisions they make and what they're doing to America.

Also, if there were to be a tie in the voting, they would have to chose the House of Representatives to vote for the President which could cause problems. In each state since they have representatives depending on the population, they wouldn't get the right amount of people to vote if it depends on how many voters are in the election. So it wouldn't be fair or even in that sense. It's not fair to the people of the country.

It's not certain that you will get the right vote because if you go off of electors votes which have completely opposite opinions from you. Electors that have different opinions can lead to voting for somebody who has no hope of carrying their state or country. People who know their vote may have no effect on the country would be unlikely to vote. The electoral college process consists of the selection of the electors , the metting of the electors where they vote for presidents and vice president,and counting of the electoral votes by congress. You should always keep electoral votes. Would you know for sure who would win ?. .Electoral college is the best way to manage who would be the best. To see who would win out of the two people. Why wouldnt we use electoral colllege it helps us know that when two people thats running for a spot and they get the same percentage for popular vote you can use electorial vote to see which one each state , country, or city like.

The electorial college avoids the problem of elections in which no candidate receives a majority of votes by the cast. for example when president obama and romney went against each other for president both of them had 51.3 percent so the electoral vote that change it all president obama got 61.3 percent electoral votes compared to 51.3 percent of the pouplar vote. This is the best way for people to know who really winning and won. I think its best for us to use the electoral vote. Its granteed to help with the prsident and the people to know who is really winning.

The electorial college help you pick your candidate as well. This is for the president to know who would be working for him or her. The best  thing for you to do is keep electorial vote it helps with eveything that you need help with. It also help the president out to .You wouldnt want to go without a president do you.

The electorial college is a helpful thing it is really needed. I wouldnt take electoral college out. When you cant see who really is winning what you going to do then without it. Are you going to choose for yourself. But then the people is going to be mad and thats not fair. Maybe some people dont like  the opne presidemt and the other people do.

The eletoral college will tell one of the two people running for president if they would win. And it would help to see who the candidate is. Voters in presidential elections are people whi want to express a political perference rather than people who think that a single vote may decide an election. so therefore you need the electorial vote to decide whether the person really win or not.                 My positions on driverless cars is that they shouldn't exist. Those in the next gereration wouldn't know what it would feel like to drive your very first car let sit on the driver's side. Don't get me wrong I understand that it was possible for google to create a car that drove itself for half a million miles without crashing, but you have to understand that freak accidents happen in the world that we can't prevent.

What would happen if an elderly woman is on the highway in a driverless car and the car starts to malfunction and spins off the road. She may know how to drive but her reaction isn't quick enough to stop the car. Freak accidents happen everyday. Technology is so advanced nowadays that I feel like it is to much power in some of our hands. People get carried away and start building things much more powerful than themselves and become power hungry. We have seen it on so many different occasions that we are oblivious to it.

We have drones coming in hospitals now perfoming surgeries for surgenons who are unavailable at the moment not only is that to advanced it is also putiing people out of a job. What would happen to the cab drivers all around the world. What would they do, they would have to start all the way over with a new profession. Those who are barely making it in the ideal society struggle as it is to find a job so with people coming up with ideas like this i feel as if they are being self- centered and not thinking about those who aren't able to provide for their house-hold as it is now.

If you ask me driverless cars are just another extension for the "new lazy" it narrows down all the way to cellphones and T.V. When faced with a difficult task or decision its beneficial to ask for advice,but sometimes asking for help does more harm than good or leaves you with more questions than you had before. This is why when seeking advice you should always be careful,because you can't always know if the person your asking really knows what they are talking about. It isn't always lack of knowledge though it can be that that person has a bias towards one particular subject or that they want to purposefully spread misinformation. To protect yourself against this you need ask as many people as possibly in order to widen your perspective and ultimately make the best chose possible.

Firstly,asking multiple people for help on a subject is the best and only way to about seeking advice. If the first pereson you asked is off on their information you will quickly figure that out if the next people's advice is wildly different from that of the first,but this isn't always the case. For example if you were to ask all your friends if you should stay up all night playing video games with them chances are that they would say yes. Now if you ask a doctor or your parents the same question chances are that they would say no and they'd probably be correct. The point is that the majority is not always in the right a lot of the time the minority is correct so it is crucial to try to hear the perspective of different kinds of people such as different ages or ethnicity. So you do not make a mistake in your decision.

An example of a time when i made a mistake in asking advice was when i asked my friend if i should preorder a video game or not. Due to the fact that he was a huge fan of the company who made the game he couldn't say enough about how good it was going to be and all the new and innovative features. Not realizing that i should have done my research and ask around a little bit more I pulled the trigger and preordered the game. Days turn into weeks and weeks turn into months when it finally gets released. I excitedly unpacked the game when I realize that its nothing like my friend hyped it up to be as. It was a 70$ mistake but it taught me an important lesson to always be on the look out for bias.

Bias is when are person has a predisposed opinion on a subject for example my dad is in the Navy so if you were to ask whether or not navy

(The college Football team)

would beat Army he would definitely tell you Navy would win. So when asking for advice it is important that you try to get information from people with the least amount bias.

The worst kind of advice you can get and sometimes not the most obviously wrong is that from people that want to purposefully lead you down the wrong path. This kind of advice is the worst due to the fact that a lot of the time it can get you in the worst trouble. It is most commonly seen online in the form of tabloids or fake news articles. It's also one of the most easily taken care of by simply not looking online for advice or making sure you know who exactly your seeking advice from.

In conclusion seeking advice is a great way to widen your point of view but it's important to be knowledgeable of who your asking so you don't end up making a costly mistake.The Importance of Seeking Multiple Opinions

Nobody is perfect; we are human, after all.

Advice is one of the many things that we as people rely on to make good decisions.

However, sometimes getting a second opinion just isn't enough to solve the problem.

Larger issues and bigger decisions require more than just one supporting opinion, and that's why many people get advice from a large group.

This can help to gather more information, helps get a broader view on the situation, and allows you to build an open mind.

Getting advice from several people allows for you to gather more information.

For instance, if you had to pick a high school to go to, then asking advice from several people could allow you to find out even more about the school.

Obviously you would have to get advice from people who happen to know about said subject, but finding people who have a lot of knowledge on a subject could be very helpful, as it would allow you to gain more knowledge on the topic.

In the long run, having more information will simply inform you more on your decisions.

While knowledge is important to making a decision, it's also important to play devil's advocate-essentially putting yourself in someone else's shoes.

It's very important to get opinions from both sides of the arguement.

For instance, say you are trying to decide if you'll vote for Donald Trump in November.

Try to get opinions from people who support Trump, people who don't support Trump, and people in the middle who might go either way.

This allows for you to have a broad knowledge of the subject, and see both the good and the bad-which will only help you make this big decision.

Listening to the opinions of both sides of the arguement, combined with deep knowledge of an issue/topic, will help to have an open mind.

Having an open mind is always important to making decisions, because it leaves you open to try new options, or explore new routes while doing something.

Being open to every opinion and genuinely listening is the best way to form your own opinion, and that is the key to making any important decision.

Having an open mind can help you in other ways, too-you could try out new things and discover something new that you enjoy, or you might find something that you deeply loathe.

Having tried out both things though, you can actually form a solid, original opinion on the subject,

That's all there is to it.

Advice from one person will only shape your opinion to be similar or just like their's; listening to several differing opinions, whether you disagree or not, is the only way you can truly build your opinion without it being a general clone of someone else's.

Listening leads to knowledge, knowledge leads to understanding, and understanding leads to an open mind.

In the end, advice from several people is an important part of life that we can credit with our success.

SCP-2317Smartphones ,like every other piece of technology,have been a two edged sword. They have fused to us. They are the ultimate tool. They have saved lives. They have also caused many deaths. One study done by teensafe. com in 2019 found 26% of car crashes are related to cell phones. Most of these crashes were strictly because of texting. In order to limit deaths and make roads safer,handheld devices that distract the driver from the road should be prohibited while driving.

The first problem is that phones take up a lot of focus. Humans by design can only do one thing at once and this can be proven by a very simple experiment. Try to pat your stomach and rub your head around in a clockwise manner. This is difficult because every time you attempt to multitask,your brain is really switching back and forth repeatedly between the two tasks. This is very taxing on the brain. This presents the problem with texting and driving. when attempting to text and drive,you take attention off of driving putting the driver and everyone else around them in great danger.

Another problem is that holding a phone in your hand physically impedes on the mobility of the driver. In every driver's manual it distinctly states that every driver should place both hands on the steering wheel. If you don't have both hands on the steering wheel,you are much more likely to be unprepared for the fast decisions you will have to make as there is much less traction on the steering wheel. This also forces you to make a greater effort in order to move the steering wheel.

Some argue that the use of phones has become essential to the average driver and that both activities require so much time that they must overlap on each other's time. I would agree with those people. I would say that the solution to the problem in that case are to only take away the use of handheld devices and allow the use of artificial intelligence,such as siri and alexa,and wireless headsets.
