Critics and fans agree that some of the best movies being made today are animated. Animated movies are wildly successful in both U.S. and international markets, and in the last decade six of them have each made over a billion dollars in profits. In 2001, the Oscars recognized their quality by adding a new award for Best Animated Feature. Movie snobs used to look down on animated films as little more than long cartoons.

Q: Unit 10 Quiz 1186213 (Form D) Question 1065458 - Objective(s) 10.3.1

Read the following paragraph from a book review:

In his book Engines of Liberty: The Power of Citizen Activists to Make Constitutional Law, David Cole claims that ordinary citizens, not judges, are the real force behind changing interpretations of what is and isn’t constitutional. I believe this viewpoint is naïve and misleading. Although public opinion does influence legal decisions, meaningful change only occurs in the courtroom. For example, a majority of Americans favored legalizing same-sex marriage for many years. But the Supreme Court did not rule it was constitutional because it was popular. It made it constitutional only because numerous states had passed laws and fought lower court battles over the practice.

Q: Unit 10 Quiz 1186213 (Form D) Question 1066265 - Objective(s) 10.1.1

Read these excerpts from two passages.

An Automated Society

There was a time when robots and home automation were just a fantasy. Robots were found only in science fiction and home automation was limited to cartoon families who had every convenience at their fingertips. Meals arrived with a simple push of a button. A robot maid performed every task humans didn’t care to do. Today, these once visionary ideas have become reality. In factories, robots perform hazardous tasks; in homes, they vacuum the floor. Houses can now lock themselves and lights are programmed to turn off and on automatically. In hospitals, doctors use robots to perform surgery. Cars that drive themselves are in development. As automated machines and robots take on more human tasks, there are serious questions to consider. What will become of society if robots do all the work? Will humans become too dependent on machines and lose the ability to do things for themselves? Will robots eventually become smarter than humans?

Cell Phones: Classroom Technology of the Future

The cell phone. No longer a device just to make telephone calls, cell phones can now be used to take pictures and record video, send text messages and tweets, and access the Internet. Using a smartphone, you can receive and send e-mail, get directions, play games, listen to music, and watch movies. You can now speak to your cell phone and it will answer back. Ask it a question and it can tell you the answer. At some stores, customers can pay using their cell phones. The cell phone has become a handheld computer—an integral part of day-to-day technology. The question, therefore, inevitably arises: Is it appropriate for students to use cell phones in schools? Some schools have adopted policies to ban cell phone use in the classroom, but are these initiatives reasonable? Although they have limitations, cell phones can be used to ensure student safety, help with job skill preparation, and aid in classroom instruction.

What is a common theme in these excerpts?
- Ever-changing technology and how we incorporate it into our daily lives. (Correct. You identified the common theme in these excerpts.)
- Everyday activities that will become obsolete as technology evolves over the next decade. (Incorrect. This is not the common theme in these excerpts.)
- The dangers of technology that teaches itself and has the potential to become smarter than people. (Incorrect. This is not the common theme in these excerpts.)
- The ever-present cell phone and how modern society depends on it for day-to-day activities. (Incorrect. This is not the common theme in these excerpts.)
A: Ever-changing technology and how we incorporate it into our daily lives.

Q: Unit 10 Quiz 1186213 (Form C) Question 1195049 - Objective(s) 10.4.1

The United States’ courts continue to rule that for some citizens—students—freedom of speech is limited and that some places—schools—are special settings where the First Amendment is only partially guaranteed.

Consider this topic for a persuasion essay:

Does school censorship serve a valid purpose or should students be granted full first-amendment rights in school?

Write a thesis statement for a persuasion essay that addresses this question.
