Advantages and disadvantages of buildings

The desire to build impressive buildings is not new. The ancient cities were designed with large public buildings to impress visitors and enemies and give a sense of pride. In modern times, outstanding public buildings still create a great sense of local and national pride. They are what gives a city its character and they form a social centre, a place where people like to meet.

However, some people argue that governments have constructed unnecessary, and sometimes ugly buildings simply to make themselves feel important. I think that such buildings may be a waste of public money but I am sure that houses and public buildings can exist side by side.

The answer lies in finding the right balance. We want to feel pride in our town, but we also want our citizens to have comfortable homes. It is hard to please everyone.

MEASUREMENTS

Metric System is a decimal system of physical units, named after its unit of length, the metre, the metric sys­tem is adopted as the common system of weights and measures by the majority of countries, and by all coun­tries as the system used in scientific work. International System of Units is a system of meas­urement units based on the MKS (metre-kilogram-second) system. This international system is commonly re­ferred to as SI.

Weights and Measures

Length, capacity, and weight can be measured using standard units. The principal early standards of length were the palm or hand breadth, the foot, and the cubit, which is the length from the elbow to the tip of the mid­dle finger. Such standards were not accurate and defi­nite. Unchanging standards of measurement have been adopted only in modern time.

MEASUREMENTS

International System of Units is a system of meas­urement units based on the MKS (metre-kilogram-second) system. This international system is commonly re­ferred to as SI.

In the English-speaking world, the everyday units of linear measurement were traditionally the inch, foot, yard and mile. In Great Britain, until recently, these units of length were defined in terms of the imperial standard yard, which was the distance between two lines on a bronze bar made in 1845.

In Britain units of weight (ounces, pounds, and tons) are now also derived from the metric standard — kilogram. This is a solid cylinder of platinum-iridium alloy main­tained at constant temperature at Sevres, near Paris. Cop­ies, as exact as possible, of this standard are maintained by national standards laboratories in many countries.
