The United States of America is pretty much the only country in the world to not use the metric system. And there are many different theories as to why that is. The main reason in my opinion is that the metric system does not fit into the daily American lifestyle. According to science.howstuffworks.com the US not using the metric system dates all the way back to the 18th century. So since we have gotten so accustomed to it, trying to change it now would almost be nearly impossible. It would be like changing our national language to French. Also I think we haven’t changed to the metric system because it would be an expensive change. Bob Hooker, from Quora.com says, “Conversion to the metric system is a complex costly event. People have to be retrained and re-educated, the economy needs to be re-tooled. It is not easy to change your system of measures.” Colleges may even have to offer classes that would help teach the metric system. And college courses aren’t cheap. I don’t think at this point that the US should adopt the metric system because for hundreds of years and changing it now would be more trouble than its worth. I know the metric system a little bit just from the science and math classes I have taken. However I would not like to have to know it completely for everyday use.
What would the world look like today without the invention of the microscope? Honestly I think it would be underdeveloped and we wouldn’t have half of what we have today. Also disease and even moderate illnesses such as a cold or strep throat could kill people because without the invention of the microscope, we wouldn’t have any of the medicines or vaccines that we have today.

    Discussion post Unit 2

    For this initial discussion post I will be exploring the Pancreas. It is a glandular organ, which is located posterior and inferior to the stomach in the upper left side of the abdominal cavity. The Pancreas actually serves as two glands such as a hormone-producing endocrine gland and a digestive exocrine gland. The pancreas produces several types of enzymes that break down carbohydrates, proteins, fats (lipoids) and nucleic acid. The Pancreatic amylase is a enzyme that breaks down carbohydrates, the Pancreatic proteases breaks down proteins, Nucleases that break down nucleic acids, and the Pancreatic lipase breaks down fat. These processes allow the intestines to absorb nutrients (Taylor, n.d).…

First you document its appearance with photographs, then X-ray the body completely. X-rays will reveal what is inside a wrapped mummy and the condition of the body. Sometimes more than one body has been found inside a wrapped mummy; other times an extra head or leg or even a baby has been discovered. X-rays may also reveal certain diseases or afflictions that the person suffered. By using x-rays, a scientist does not have to unwrap or un­dress the mummy. Conduct a dental examination…

    Security is a business issue because companies have very valuable information assets to protect. Business must protect not only their own information assets but also those of customers, employees, and business partners. Failure to do so may open the firm to costly litigation for data exposure or theft. Systems often hold confidential information about customers information( social security, date of birth, credit card information, taxes), corporate operations, new product development plans, marketing strategies. These information assets have tremendous value for the companies and can be devastating if they are lost, destroyed, disturbed or placed in wrong hands.…

    If 95% uses the same system and the other 5% is not, it is actually not a choice if US will change, it is a matter of necessity. It is hard for tourists to buy something in America without knowing Americans “special measurement system.” Converting to the metric would make it easier for everyone, mostly students.

    Re: Re: Module 2 Dq 1

    This week’s topics included many interesting things, and I will touch on the areas that I thought were most important. The first area deals with the types of in-services that administrators provide to make sure that teachers have the appropriate skills to recognize the early signs of emotional behavioral disorder (EBD) in their students. How to intervene effectively to keep them from getting worse is another important area to cover. Another area is why an emotional or behavioral disorder should be considered a disability. I think that it is important to know what EBD is before it can properly be assessed, so that will be covered. Last but not least I will discuss instruction in an EBD classroom.…

    Explain the different forms of child abuse? Include Shaken Baby Syndrome in your response. The four different forms of child abuse are physical, emotional, sexual abuse, and neglect. Physical abuse is violence that is directed toward a child or an adolescent by a parent, adult, or guardian. Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) is an even more severe form of physical abuse that can be very dangerous if not deadly. Shaken Baby Syndrome is when a baby or a small child is shaken in such a violent way that there is damage to their bones, organs, brain, or even enough damage to cause death. Emotional abuse is when a child feels worthless or rejected to the acts of another adult or guardian but is not physically harmed. Sexual abuse is when someone is sexually explicit towards a child, shows a child pornography, or if a person’s genitals are exposed to a child. Neglect is when a parent is neglectful to a child. This is when the parent doesn’t put their child in school, doesn’t feel, clothe, or clean a child, or to fail to care for their child’s needs.…
