Gun control in America.

VIEW 

When we talk about gun control, the first thing that comes to our mind is America.

America has had the worst toll on public shootings. The worst that comes to mind is a school shooting , where mostly a mentally unstable person decides one day to enter a school and just cause chaos carnage, and take the lives of young children.

More than 214,000 students experienced gun violence at 216 schools, and at least 141 children, educators and other people were killed and another 284 were injured.

38% of the students who experienced school shootings were African American although African American students were 16.6% of the school population.

United States leads the country with the most school shootings with a whooping 31 mass shootings and 14 in the rest of the world combined.

The worse shootings were the 2007 Virginia tech shooting where 33 were dead and the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting where 27 were dead. I mean with all this devastating past history and where school shootings are widely recognized as a “uniquely American crisis” , it’s surprising there hasn’t been any of an impact except awareness regarding gun laws and gun control.

We have seen many celebrities and victims voicing out their opinions and fighting this battle day by day yet people can still own a gun with laws that are minimum and can have the freedom to do anything.

It’s honestly shocking that the greatest democracy in the world can come out with laws to protect their own children. It’s a sad tragedy and it will happen again and again until something is done.

Arguments against gun control are quite varied. In the United States, the issue of regulating weapons is hardly as black or white as the extremes of the political spectrum would have us believe.

Both sides have their extremists and more moderate supporters. Why are people against gun control? Every argument has two sides , and this list of pro gun facts is one of them.

1 A Person Bent On Committing A Shooting Doesn't Care About "Gun-Free Zones"-

While it is true that gun-free zones can keep law-abiding citizens from overreacting and turning simple altercations into lethal shootout

2Self-Defense Is A Basic Right-

To protect them selfs and there family because two high crime

3Gun Ownership Is Protected By The Constitution-

The right to private gun ownership will become a legal process. And rigid system to defend and finish crime

Conclusion -Gun Control debate still going on in nation , because use gun in good way it can save our live .

Artificial intelligence

View

With artificial intelligence, the chances of error are almost nil and greater precision and accuracy is achieved.Artificial intelligence finds applications in space exploration. Intelligent robots can be used to explore space. They are machines and hence have the ability to endure the hostile environment of the interplanetary space. They can be made to adapt in such a way that planetary atmospheres do not affect their physical state and functioning.Intelligent robots can be programmed to reach the Earth's nadirs. They can be used to dig for fuels. They can be used for mining purposes. The intelligence of machines can be harnessed for exploring the depths of oceans. These machines can be of use in overcoming the limitations that humans have.Emotions that often intercept rational thinking of a human being are not a hindrance for artificial thinkers. Lacking the emotional side, robots can think logically and take the right decisions. Sentiments are associated with moods that affect human efficiency. This is not the case with machines with artificial intelligence.

One of the main disadvantages of artificial intelligence is the cost incurred in the maintenance and repair. Programs need to be updated to suit the changing requirements, and machines need to be made smarter. In case of a breakdown, the cost of repair may be very high. Procedures to restore lost code or data may be time-consuming and costly.An important concern regarding the application of artificial intelligence is about ethics and moral values. Is it ethically correct to create replicas of human beings? Do our moral values allow us to recreate intelligence? Intelligence is a gift of nature. It may not be right to install it into a machine to make it work for our benefit. Machines may be able to store enormous amounts of data, but the storage, access, and retrieval is not as effective as in case of the human brain. They may be able to perform repetitive tasks for long, but they do not get better with experience, like humans do. They are not able to act any different from what they are programmed to do.Do you think robots can excel or even compete the human mind in creative thinking or originality? Thinking machines lack a creative mind. Human beings are emotional intellectuals. They think and feel. Their feelings guide their thoughts. This is not the case with machines. The intuitive abilities that humans possess, the way humans can judge based on previous knowledge, the inherent abilities that they have, cannot be replicated by machines. Also, machines lack common sense.
