History

umka21 [38]3 years ago

In antiquity, systems of measurement were defined locally: the different units might be defined independently according to the length of a king's thumb or the size of his foot, the length of stride, the length of arm, or maybe the weight of water in a keg of specific size, perhaps itself defined in hands and knuckles.

Systems of Measurement: there are two main systems of measurement in the world: the Metric (or decimal) system and the US standard system. ... The US Standard system uses units that have no predictable relationship to each other. For example, there are 2 cups in a pint, but 4 quarts in a gallon.

Local measurements differ from standard measurement (metric) through the westernization of the metric system.

Basically, farmers a while ago decided that learning the metric system was too difficult so they created a new system that catered to them.

In fashion history ; vanity sizing is this odd way to size things that became popularized in and around the 90s. It messed up the way we size garments today. E.g. for pants (or bottoms) you’d measure your natural waist (usually just above your bellybutton) then your hips (usually the largest part of your body) then if your hip measurement is greater than 10 inches past your waist measurement your in good hands, this is standard. If you are more then that, you have a great butt that standard sizes simply cannot contain, add to your waist measurement.

yarga [219]

Answer:

After the French and Indian Wars, the British Empire became more powerful in terms of land, but was also in a difficult economic condition.

Because of this, the British levied more taxes on the American colonies, which angered the colonists who were used to relatively low levels of taxation.

The British also wanted to control more aspects of American colonial life. The monarchs had become suspicious of colonial independence, and they wanted tighter control over the colonies.

What is the Liberal Consensus?
NeTakaya

Answer:

After the Second World War, after the impact that the totalitarian Nazi, Fascist and Communist regimes had caused on the American population, both Democrats and Republicans came to the conclusion that they should bet on the total fulfillment of civil and political rights in America (especially regarding racial minorities, such as African Americans).

Thus, Democrats and Republicans reached an agreement regarding this issue, by which it was agreed that both political parties would support policies, measures and movements that would tend to maximize respect for individual freedoms and equality among American citizens. This agreement was called "the Liberal consensus".
