Hello everybody, here is Gianni. You might know me from Twitter or Instagram. Well actually not me, but my dogs Ernie and Berti. Since almost three years I am sharing our life with you. Countless pictures have found their way on your screen and all of them were meant to cast a smile on your face, cheer you up, encourage you and entertain you. But until now you only know our pictures, not our story. This will change. I am going to tell you how our anxious Airedale Berti found his way to us and how
Most people would describe me as strong and bulky, but sometimes I don’t realize how strong I really am. I never mean to hurt people or animals, I just enjoy touching them because they are soft and I love that feeling. When I do hurt things I always try hiding it from George because he doesn’t like me keeping dead animals. I was alone in the barn when Curley’s wife came in and tried talking to me. I was ordered by George not to talk to her, but she said that it was fine, that nobody would see us
Determining the difference between right and wrong can be difficult, but life lessons help us figure it out. During The Odyssey, by Homer, Odysseus learns a few lessons, and one of them is that you should be aware of your surroundings and ready to use them. Another moral that he learned was to heed all warnings, regardless what your instincts say. These messages can be used in life today to help guide people during their lives. While reading The Odyssey, a lesson that can be used today and during
should be using the metric system as well! For beginning my argument of why we should use the metric system as opposed to the English Imperial system, the metric system is more universally used. As states above, there are only three countries that still use the English measurement system - therefore we are falling behind! It also has fewer numeric anomalies, like the difference between inches, yards, and feet. There isn’t as much to remember, and it’s easier to learn
system that is based on the powers of ten? I didn’t think so. The metric system is a much more logical system that America should not only adopt, but use. America should join the 193 other countries and use the metric system because it benefits us in every way. The first reason why America should use the metric system is the rest of the world is using it. According to mental floss, 193 countries are currently using the metric system compared to the three not using it. Also teaching children both
If I had to vote on whether the United States should be on the Metric System, I would vote no, we shouldn't. There are many key factors and reasoning that goes into taking such a major decision for our country; we can't just convert over to the Metric System because the rest of the world is using it. If we were to convert to the metric system there would be many lasting consequences. First off, the cost to convert would be so high, that it would put our nation in debt for many years to come. Secondly

There is a debate whether or not we should switch to the metric system. The metric system was adopted in 1795 by France and is now used in almost all countries. The U.S. is the only country that doesn’t use the metric system. There are many pros and cons about the metric system. Unlike English units, which have seemingly random relationships, all metric units are related by factors of ten. This makes numbers easily scalable and comparisons of numbers much more understandable. When working
inches, feet, ounces and so on. But have you ever stopped to look at the Metric unit measurements? Other countries commonly use the Metric System, and it is time that we too, the United States adopt this method of measuring. As someone who prefers the Metric system and understands how to use it, I feel that I have some qualifications to discuss why people in the U.S need to adopt the Metric System. Although personal Metric usage in our lives is currently rare, this change would provide a simpler
Physics Coursework 1.1(a) Discuss why metric and SI system is better to use in measurement. Explain and list at least 6 physical quantities scientists use in measurements. There are several reasons as to why using the Metric System and SI Units are better to use. Each measurement has only one unit of measure regardless of the size which makes it a lot simpler to understand. Another factor that makes the metric system a better system to use is that the units use the same conversion, for example, 10
driving all speed limit signs are in kilometers and not miles! What will happen? The United States should adopt the metric system for the four following reasons: It’s easier to make conversions, It’s the world standard, people will avoid errors, and better communication. The metric is “any decimal system of units on the metre.”(dictionary.com). The first reason to switch to the Metric System is, it's easier to make conversions. Therefore, we would not have to convert inches into centimeters or miles
foreigners that live in world surrounded by the metric system. The United States should become apart of the 193 countries currently using the metric system. America should convert to the metric system because there will no longer be error in converting to metric system, it 'll make trading easier, and the rest of the world uses it. America should convert to the metric system because there will no longer be error in converting measurements to the metric system. “Human conversion errors are inevitable
John Oliver’s Sugar - Satire Review “The Average American eats 22 teaspoons of sugar a day, 5 times the proper amount!” This is a quote from the host of “Last Week Tonight” John Oliver in his video over making producers include an ‘added sugar’ slot on product nutrition labels. Consumers should at least get to know what the food we eat contains. The producers are trying to avoid including the “added sugar” on their labels. Their reaction should make you question how much sugar they include in their
The Ripple Effect Rasheed Ogunlaru once said, “some strive to make themselves great. Others help other see and find their own greatness. It’s the latter who really enrich the world we live in.” Change often begins small, seemingly influential. Then, as people watch this small spark start a fire and begin to roar, surrounding communities to decide that a change is necessary, causing a ripple of change. My story, both as an initial flicker of ember and part of the flourishing flame, bears
very challenging. There are several difficult obstacles we would have to overcome in order to successfully convert. We would have to teach all of our citizens the new system. It is currently being taught in school, but since we don’t normally use the metric system in everyday life, it would be hard to suddenly change. Road signs, scales, speedometers, and

Simply having beautiful objects in a room will not make it be a beautiful room. It is the multiple levels of architectural detail captured in one space that makes such rooms remarkable. There should be something interesting to look at everywhere we gaze, from big to small and everywhere in between. Hierarchy of Scale is the idea that each space , whether it is a building or a room or a doorway, is made of an assemblage of smaller things. Each of those smaller things, when viewed closely, is comprised

“Kissing signs on the interstate” is an example of imagery. It paints the picture of him and his friends going on car rides through his hometown, creating a nostalgia that was fleeting yet impressionable, like a kiss. This also shows how much these drives meant to him, using “kiss” to describe the way he drove as a way to make it sound more intimate. “Springtime is when the air is thin” uses allusion to describe the tension in the air. Spring is usually the time where most colleges announce acceptance
The English author Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series presents a fantastic universe which symbolically can be taken as a parody of our postmodern age, a period of non-stop change and no-boundries in which nothing has a concrete stable meaning. The series displays human being that seems lost in a digital world where philosophical search for the meaning of life and spiritual enlightenment become futile and frivolous under the shadow of the rapid change of technologies. Thus
