主题：several reasons why speed cameras should become the main method of enforcing speed limits

1. First, speed cameras can be very effective at getting drivers to drive more safely. Speed cameras can be placed in many locations along a highway. Drivers see traffic signs warning them about speed cameras and start realizing how many cameras are present. They are thus forced to obey the speed limit for long stretches of highway, and they gradually form the habit of obeying the speed limit at all times, not just when cameras are present.

1. First, although some drivers might respond to speed cameras by learning to drive more safely，there can also be safety risks that the cameras will introduce. For example, there will always be drivers who get to know the camera locations and simply speed up in between cameras and break suddenly to slow down when they know they are approaching one. Now many other drivers are used to following the flow of cars in front of them. And so there can be severe danger for cars that follow the drivers who break suddenly because of a camera.

2. Furthermore, because speed cameras work automatically and require no human assistance, they can effectively replace police officers. This would free up some police officers from having to patrol highways and allow them to focus instead on more important police work.

2. Second, police officers are patrolling highways just to cash speeders. They're also there to discourage other forms of unsafe driving, such as changing lanes abruptly, or driving while talking on a cell phone. There's a lot of unsafe driving that happens below the speeder, and without the police officers, all of it would go undetected and would probably increase.

3. Lastly, speed cameras can improve the functioning of traffic courts. Traffic courts, operated by local governments, are courts that ensure fair treatment of drivers. Drivers who wish to dispute their speeding tickets can bring their case before the court and get a hearing. Unfortunately, the number of disputed tickets is great, the courts are overwhelmed, and the costs to local governments run high. The photographs of speeding cars taken by the speed cameras provide fair and conclusive evidence that will prevent most disputes and so reduce the number of court cases.

3. Finally, speed cameras, like all machines, don't always work properly. They've been known to malfunction, associating a certain car with the wrong speed. And they're bound to malfunction again. Ok, so those drivers should bring their cases before the traffic court, and the court will dismiss those tickets. But the next thing you know, newspapers and television will get hold of the story, and soon, many drivers will be thinking that the speed camera tickets aren't reliable. And they'll bring their cases before the courts. In the end, the courts could become just as overwhelmed as they are now, if not more.

学术讨论

　　Your professor is teaching a class on public policy. Write a post responding to the professor’s question.

　　In your response, you should

　　· express and support your personal opinion

　　· make a contribution to the discussion in your own words

　　An effective response will contain at least 100 words. You have ten minutes to write.

　　Doctor Diaz:We have read studies that explain the negative impact of social media on both children and adults. Many believe that social media will remain widely used in the future, since it is both popular and useful in some contexts, but because of the problems it poses, it should be regulated in some way. In your opinion, should governments regulate social media platforms, or should social media companies regulate their platforms themselves? Why do you think so?

　　Kelly:I believe social media companies should regulate themselves. There are plenty of social media platforms on the market, so the competition is tough. For example, to appeal to parents, asocial media platform could publicize that they have stringent regulations for children's use of the platform, and in this way, it could attract more users who care about children's safety.

　　Andrew: Social media companies should be taking an active role in combatting the negative effects, but that is not really happening. L hear many stories of false information spreading around, sometimes causing irreparable damage to people's reputations. Therefore, the government should put stricter regulations on the companies, and they should be punished for not following the rules.

　　范文：

　　I contend that social media companies should regulate their platforms themselves. The primary reason is that they have the resources, expertise, and responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of their users. As the creators and operators of these platforms, they are in the best position to understand the intricacies of their technology and the potential harm it can cause. By taking proactive measures to regulate their platforms, they can prevent the spread of harmful content, protect user privacy, and promote a positive online environment.

　　My experience can further illustrate the importance of social media companies regulating their platforms. As a frequent user of various social media platforms, I have witnessed firsthand the negative impact of unregulated content or unchecked behavior on these platforms, from encountering fake news articles that spread misinformation to being targeted by online trolls. In conclusion, by implementing stricter regulations and enforcement mechanisms, social media companies can ensure the safety and well-being of their users while also upholding the values of a free and open internet.
