Why does the whole world measure its time and define its position in relation to the Greenwich Meridian, a line passing through

a spot on the banks of the Thames in south-east London? The story begins with the invention in London of a sea-going clock that allowed sailors to find their longitude. The object pictured here is one of those clocks — a marine chronometer made around 1800 — which could keep perfect time even in rolling seas. –A History of the World in 100 Objects, Neil MacGregor How does the hook engage the reader in the rest of the paragraph? It gives the reader information about a previously unfamiliar topic. It makes the reader wonder how the chronometer relates to our notion of time. It makes the reader feel a personal connection to the inventor of the clock. It piques the reader’s interest in the bank of the Thames in southeast London.

Is diversity important in policing? Explain why or why not? 100 words
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Diversity is important in policing. The police officers are always in close contact with ordinary people. People from any town come from diverse ethnic groups ,so if the police force recruits people from different ethnic groups, policing may become more effective. First, the police may become more reliable since ordinary people will see that their peers are part of the force. For example, a Pakistani police officer may be more reliable than an English police officer for a  person from Pakistan. Secondly, communication between the police officers and people from town may be more fluent. If an " Indian" police officer needs information , the Indian people will be more open to give it to him / her. Diversity in policing will make the bonds between the police and ordinary people stronger and more effective.
