Space Travel vs. Submarine Adventure: Which Would You Choose?

1. Question: Would you rather travel to space in a spaceship or travel through the ocean in a submarine? I would rather travel to space in a spaceship instead of take a trip through the ocean. Looking at earth from the middle of outer space would be really cool. I would try to zoom in and find my house from the space ship. Very few people have ever been in a spaceship to outer space and it would be awesome to be one of them. I have always wondered if there are aliens. Going to outer space would help me find the truth. For these reasons, I would rather go into outer space than submarine through the ocean.

4. Question: What do you believe is the most effective solution for preventing acts of violence in our schools. The most effective solution for preventing school shootings is having members of the military present at each school. The number of violent school incidences has increased to an average of 54 per year and the military unemployment rate has increased from 8.5 percent to 11.7 percent. People in the armed forces have served our country and know how to protect people during crisis. First of all, the men and women in the military have had extensive training on crisis prevention and have a lot of different skills like speaking different languages and spending time in other cultures. Additionally, kids need more adults that are available to build positive relationships with them. Lastly, if people knew there were qualified military men and women at each school, they would know there was someone to stop them from making a bad choice. For the reasons I shared above, having military men and women present at each school is the most effective solution to preventing acts of violence in our schools.

No. Smart kids are not born smart, rather they know how to work really, really hard. Our brains are one of the hardest working muscles and requires a lot of brain workouts. According to Nicholas Cole, founder of The Digital Press, people become “smart” by exercising their brain when through mistakes. He explains that every time you make a mistake and don’t give up, you are strengthening your neuron pathways that make the next time you try the same thing, easier. This means that even if you feel like you aren’t smart, but you keep trying and keep practicing, you will workout your brain enough to become “smarter.” Question: Does Axel’s reasoning match the evidence he provided?
