To give you a break from  video calls today, we will use this Padlet for our synchronous check-in .  So, what's that mean for you?  (You may need to scroll down using the dark bar next to this post to see the rest of the directions. Just click and drag it..)

This works like a chat/ conversation. You will answer the following question with as much detail as possible.  After you answer, I'll post a new question for you.  The questions I ask/task I give you may vary based on your answers. I'll stack my replies above your original response. If you have questions for me about how this Padlet works, ask them in the Teams chat (not in the Padlet). I'll let you know when you have finished answering all of your questions by typing the comment "Have a great weekend!" under your name. When you see that, you're free to close this Padlet and be done with Debate class for the day.  Just know that everything you type here will be saved, so please be appropriate with your responses.

To begin:
1. Find the column with your name. You may need to use the scroll bar at the bottom of this page to scroll right in order to find your name.
2. Press on the plus sign below your name (you don't need a title for your posts unless you want one).
3. Type the answer to this question: What are you most proud of this week? (Remember to proofread your response).

I think that Americans should invest more in metal health because if you are not mentally healthy you could, not learn or discover more about space travel. "A mental illness is a condition that affects a person's thinking, feeling, behavior or mood. These conditions deeply impact day-to-day living and may also affect the ability to relate to others" (https://www.nami.org/learn-more/mental-health-conditions)

"248,655 mi from earth" - Speed and altitude records. that is the furthest a human has ever gone from earth, keep in mind that distance is still in earths gravitational pull. humans haven't even ever left earths gravitational pull. we haven't explored much of space but in the near future we may need to relocate as a species. humans should strive to find a new home suitable for us. I believe that this should be sciences main focus currently.

Americans should invest more in mental health because in the quote, it says that people can do the space anytime, but the mental health is more important because people can't fix the mental health all the time. This quote by Glenn Close states, "What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candor, and more unashamed conversation.” This quote supports the fact that America should invest more in mental health instead of space travel because America doesn't really support mental health that much, but there are a bunch of people who have mental diseases like depression.

I think America invests more  in space travel because they feel like exploring is more important even though it should't. In terms of NASA's total budget, spending on space exploration peaked in 1965, with a total budget of about $50 billion (adjusted to 2019 dollars)".  and "Untreated mental illness costs the nation as much as $300 billion each year". This proves that they don't see it as important as space travel.

Organization is more important because you cannot think creatively without an organized work space/environment. For example, when my desk is a mess I cannot concentrate or think, but when my desk is clean it makes it easier for me to think and concentrate. On the other hand, if you are creative you can find other ways to organize.

I think Americans should invest more into mental health because that is a very bog and overwhelming issue in our society. From the WebMD Archives

"Nov. 18, 2010 -- Nearly one in five adult Americans has experienced mental illness in the past year, according to a new government survey, with women, the unemployed, and young adults more likely than others to be affected." That is a very large number of people having to deal with mental health issues. I think we should help more people with that than with travelling into space.
