What does it mean by "build on a human scale"?

English

guapka [62]3 years ago

"Build on a human scale" means the priority given to human beings before constructing anything else.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Architect Jan Gehl gives a better explanation of what "Build on a human scale" is. Before building a pavement or a building or even constructing a car or a bicycle, people are first taken into consideration.

"Build on a human scale" means the priority given to human beings before constructing anything else. The space that is required for the people in the city is first calculated and than the other things are taken into consideration. If not, if people weren't give a thought and just build buildings and manufacture cars, the lives would be disrespected as well as considered not important which would put an engineer at high danger.

Which group in nineteenth-century America would likely be the most receptive audience for "What to the Slave is the Fourth of Ju
NikAS [45]

The correct answer is D. Abolitionists

Explanation:

The speech "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July" by a former slave, Frederick Douglas, focused on showing the Independence Day and its principles such as freedom or liberty in the U.S. did not protect slaves, and therefore the ideals held by many only applied to part of the population. This tried to show the audience the importance of ending slavery and providing slaves the freedoms white people had.

In this context, this speech would be supported by abolitionist (people that wanted to end slavery) and they would be more receptive to it because they supported the idea of providing freedom and protections to slaves and ending enslavement, which is the focs of the speech.

What are your thoughts about Shakespeare or about the work that he's written?
kvasek [131]

William Shakespeare.

When we talk about English literature, there’s this renowned name which comes in everyone’s mind ‘William Shakespeare’ – the greatest writer, poet, and dramatist of all time.

Shakespeare’s style of writing was different from the rest. He used ‘Iambic Pentameter’ where lines didn’t rhymed. His works are all about love, magic, life, death, grief; I don’t think there’s any aspect of English literature where he didn’t tried his hand. He influence he had on English literature is incredible.

Some of his most well known works includes ‘Hamlet’, ‘Romeo and Juliet’, ‘The Taming of the Shrew’ the list is endless because almost all his work demands an appreciation.

Although there are people who criticize William Shakespeare for his writing style, but this will always be a known fact that despite all the criticism his works are read and praised by people even today. His works continue to motivate writers and students even in the 21st century.

MAVERICK [17]

While congratulating her colleague on her promotion, Kate should focus the message on the receiver.

Explanation:

As the person in focus is Kate's colleague who has got a promotion and not Kate herself, it would sound more appropriate if Kate talks about her colleague's achievement instead of herself. It is an important moment in the life and career of Kate's colleague and she deserves the accolade.

It would not be considered quiet civilized for Kate to talk about herself on such occasion. In her letter, Kate should keep the focus on her colleague's achievements.
