Is a Higher Standard Need for Campus Sexual Assault Cases? Doe V. Lhamon was a Supreme Court case in 2014 that changed the “Beyond Reasonable Doubt mentality to Preponderance of Evidence when looking at sexual assault cases in colleges” (Friedersdorf). Preponderance of Evidence argues that because colleges and universities don't have the power to incarcerate those found guilty, the lower burden of proof is justified. This implies that false convictions of sexual assault in these proceedings aren't as consequential to the accused. But consider the fate of an innocent defendant who is found guilty in a university Title IX proceeding, expelled from school, and then publicly disparaged on social media as a perpetrator of sexual violence. In recent years efforts have been made to change the ruling back to “Beyond Reasonable Doubt” because some argue that “Preponderance Of Evidence” causes innocent people who were falsely accused of sexual assault to face full consequences. Preponderance Of Evidence should stay in effect because it is safer and it will help lead to less sexual assault cases. Preponderance Of Evidence is kind of the same as being safe than sorry and believing in “more likely than not,” (Blake). If the jury is 50% or more conceived that the accused did the crime, then it is believed that they did the crime. Some argue that the jury will most likely side with the victim in a sexual assault case and with Preponderance Of Evidence, the accused will get punishment even if they are falsely accused. In this case, even if someone gets falsely accused, they would have to have done something to put themselves in that situation, people don't wake up and just go “let me falsely accuse someone of a crime just because” Preponderance Of Evidence will create a safer environment because even if a person got falsy accused of rape, they still had to do something to get falsy accused and if their actions are not taken care of, it might escalate to stuff like rape. Preponderance Of Evidence will allow rapists to get their conquests but also give falsely accused people the scare they deserve. With an increase of people getting accused of Preponderance Of Evidence, it has also caused a “decrease in sexual assault cases” (Cantalupo). As the chance increases for people to get convicted of rape, fear will increase, causing fewer rape cases. People will not do stuff if they are more likely to get caught, also with Preponderance Of Evidence, a victim is more likely to step forward because they know that the other person will get a punishment. A child will not reach for the cookie jar if he knows his mom is watching him. Therefore Preponderance Of Evidence should stay in effect when dealing with sexual assault cases because it leads to a safer environment with fewer rape cases overall.

Given the rise in prominence of artificial intelligence in our daily lives, such as Voice AIs like Siri or OpenAI’s viral sensation, ChatGPT, some have begun to fear its creeping presence — especially involving automation in the workforce. This dubious sentiment is not entirely unfounded nor new; the same questions arose in the industrial era with the United States, a largely domestic economy transitioning to an industrial powerhouse, its efficiency leaving small businesses behind in redundancy. It is a perfectly human response to cling to one’s livelihood; losing a job is essentially the same as losing one’s life — akin to a plant losing its sunlight. The fearful discussions surrounding artificial intelligence are definitely reasonable, as indeed, jobs will be replaced with AI automation; however, in spite of these replaced jobs, we must accept artificial intelligence in our lives as new jobs will be created in their stead. With the rise of automation in the workforce, it is inevitable that some jobs and labor sectors will be entirely replaced. Nonetheless, this mass loss of jobs is simply a product of structural employment, and while only “85 million jobs'' will be replaced, “97 million new jobs will be created across 26 countries by 2025” (World Economic Forum). Due to this temporary halt in job growth, these jobs will then be restored by an unbridled expansion of newer and more skilled work. Thus, we can “liberate [ourselves] from tedious labor,” that can then be easily automated by more intelligent and productive machinery (Kasparov). For those who were reliant on these previously manual jobs can then be reskilled and reintegrated into the workforce of these newly created jobs. To expound on this, the rise in productivity and cut in wage costs can increase business profits — and in cumulation with the workforce expansion, the economy will flourish. Although, some still fear that contracting the unskilled labor supply will then create unyielding workforce competition and hinder job searches for the unemployed. Nonetheless, these concerns are currently predicted to become naught, as employment growth “from 2021 to 2031 is expected to be 6%,” and that those who “take advantage of AI gain better positions in the market” (Forbes). So rather than rejecting the entrance of AI into our workforce scope, we should instead embrace it. And thus, it will instead yield benefits rather than hinder us. Fear of the unknown will haunt our attitudes towards artificial intelligence for the foreseeable future, but as it is integrated into our lives more and more, we will become more apathetic to these concerns due its creation of new jobs.

A lot of times, when people think about AI taking over some jobs, they tend to think of it as a horrible turn of events in a country's economy, atleast in terms of workers who'd lose their job. But they often fail to consider the amount of jobs that would be created from AI being in the labor force. Focusing on the [temporary] downsides of integrating AI in to the economy ignores the net gain that comes from AI, whether it's in productivity, economic growth and the new jobs created to make up for the jobs lost.

Reading your paragraph, I liked the example where cited the Kellogs boycott.

I agree with you. While it is great for people to know a foreign language, some people are just unable to learn more than one or have no interest in knowing more languages. It feels strange to force people to take a class on other languages when they may never be able to remember all that they are being told or need to use it in the real world. They can have language courses available, but making it mandatory will reduce the amount of people interested in the subject.

As the future approaches closer and closer, our lives have been changed forever with the incorporation of artificial technology- the use of computers or technological based forms of intelligence. Although many see the advancement of AI as a foreshadowing of our eventual doom at the hands of a robot apocalypse, where AI has become so advanced to the point where it has replaced every job on Earth, it is important to realize that these views are based on over exaggerations of our current conditions, because as it turns out, it is proven that AI will not make human employees obsolete, and can instead be used to both enhance and create new jobs altogether.

I disagree...mostly. While AI won't take all or even most jobs (that's silly), it will cause issues. For example, you said "artists" would be safe but artists are one of the first jobs at risk of being taken. For the most part, with AI, it's not so much a matter of an AI's capabilities and more so a matter of who will cross the ethical lines to create an AI that could replace jobs.

First, you never established a CLEAR position from the beginning. Second, you do not use your quotes efficiently. All you keep quoting from sources are the words "predominance of evidence" and that is just not enough.

Because the faulty logic of the main factor in boycotts being decreased company sales is exposed in Source A, it can not be argued that boycotts are effective through decreased company sales. ---This make no sense.

Foreign Language classes should be necessary in school for the following reasons that it helps American students to learn and be able to communicate with other students in that language. It as well helps grow relationships with other countries around the world. This is necessary to be more united as people as well as it helps to create bonds that could have never happened without taking language classes.It helps others to communicate with each other and learn their language. These classes help to bring in new relationships. It also helps a lot with job opportunities. ---You are all over the place. You need to choose one of these to be the focus of this paragraph. Because you did not have a clear topic sentence, your paragraph was all over from jobs to traveling.

Argument summarized: In the last few years there has been an increase in rewards like participation trophies given out to kids. While some may argue that it is a good thing because it makes all the kids who compete feel like a winner, others feel that it actually teaches kids that they don’t have to try in order to win and be rewarded for it. There is also a debate over the effects on self esteem that these participation trophies have. And while some may think that they would increase self esteem, research has shown that it actually has the opposite effect and that having kids participate in activities to get better and win boosts self esteem.
