Why Children Shouldn’t Be Able To Vote

  

By Kai Z.

Elections are very important. We have them every couple years to vote on who is the mayor, premier or prime minister. The decision impacts everyone. One thing that people are thinking about is the age limit. That brings up a question. Should children be able to vote? Well, I personally think that children shouldn’t be able to vote. First, children are still in the control of their parents. That means that their parents will have influence over their child’s vote. That also means that the child might not be having his voice heard, and parents would get more votes. Secondly, although there are many smart and logical children, they could vote for someone because they think they “look super cool” or maybe because they have been in the news lately. That isn’t the right way to vote and if many kids end up voting for the same person because they are cool, it could make a significant impact. Children shouldn’t be able to vote because they are still under control of their parents, have a brain that is still developing and because they are just not mature enough to do such a thing.

The Island

Best Story in Feb, 2021 ; The Island - By L. Q. Five dollars, they had said. Only five, for this magnificent patch of land in the middle of the ocean.

Mya, the last to get off the boat, hurried forward in amazement.  “Look over there!” she laughed, running towards some rocks. “It’s a cave!” Sure enough, in between 2 rocks stood a huge opening that led to a cave. Mya started lowering herself in, not minding the sharp rocks and edges. “I wouldn’t do that!” Dad warned, unpacking his bag and setting up his tent. “There could be all sorts of dangers lurking inside. You don’t want to get hurt before we even start camping.” “That’s right,” informed Mya’s older brother Jason who was setting down his many National Geographic books. “I once read a book about these...

ROBOTS MIGHT TAKE OVER THE WORLD

 By Tina X. Have you ever wondered how Google seems to know what you like? Have you ever noticed how smart the internet has become? People around the world are developing smarter and more dependable AI (artificial intelligence) as we speak. The question is, where is the line? Will people continue to develop AI so much that it’ll be running our businesses for us? Will we become so reliant on it that we forget how to do everyday tasks without it? Here is my theory about why it is likely that robots might take over the world someday. Some people will immediately shake their heads saying ‘Robots or AI taking over the world only ever happens in sci-fi movies. It’s not possible for them to actually take over.’ I understand where those people are coming from but really think about it. Every year, we get new ideas for AI. Every year, we come up with better and smarter versions of it. We’ve begun to develop self-driving cars, which are run by AI. We also already use AI for simple everyday t...
