The topic of my argumentative essay will be over gun control and the affect firearms have over Americans. I believe that firearms should only be given to police officers, military, and those that are fully qualified with background checks. I believe that this will help reduce the amount of crime, school shootings, and gang violence among Americans, specifically the youth. This topic is very important, especially to us as college students because our school(s) being a public campus could bring the wrong attention. Although I don’t believe that guns should fully be banned in America, I do believe that guns do bring violence and cause us as Americans to not trust one another.
My question is do you agree or disagree with this discussion?

Amusement park rides, automobiles, elevators, and ovens are now computers or information systems. They're not usually connected to computers. Benefits are obvious, but what about drawbacks? Would you feel comfortable riding a computer-controlled roller coaster? Computerizing more everyday items begs the issue of whether the benefits outweigh the cons. Why not?

- Critique the following writing assignment, discussing improvement strategies. Manned, unmanned space travel has been a big controversy for many years; it’s too risky or space bots gets just as much done as humans. I agree 100% that robots are far better off into space than humans; manned space travel is too dangerous. Almost all the money for such a mission would be spent simply to keep the people alive. (John Tierney) Space bots are more reliable, don’t get tired, and do what it’s programed to do, but more proficient. Things humans need for survival includes: air, food, water, things we must take with us for space travel, which adds to the cost for each individual we fly out into space. While space bots don’t need any of these sources for survive, which makes space travel less expensive and more productive. Also the bots can retrieve more data because there aren’t any stopping periods for breaks or any other reasons for that matter.
