What would happen if the whole world used the same system of measurement? Today, the current situation on whether or not the United States should convert to the metric system (SI) is highly debated. The United States should convert to the SI system because it is much more beneficial than the Imperial system. One reason why the United States should convert to the SI system of measurement is because it is more widely used and understood. “ It’s the system 95 percent of the world uses”. ("Top 10 Reasons the United"). “The modern metric system of units and standards of measure is rooted in 17th-and-18th century efforts to establish a simple, easily used system of weights and measures universally acceptable to the countries of the world.” ("The Metric System"). This quote helps show that the metric system is more easily understood and was created to create a common system of …show more content…
“In science and math it’s necessary to be precise. But, in everyday life, it’s not that important. The imperial system is made for what we use it for the most. Every unit of measurement is tailor-made for what we need it for. The downside of that is that the different units don’t convert very easily, but why would you need to?” ("6 Reasons the Metric"). This argument is clearly not valid because it says there is no need to be exact in everyday life, if someone needs to put a specific amount of ingredients in a recipe and they ruin it because they couldn’t measure properly, they wouldn’t be very happy. In this paper it was argued that the United States should convert to metric system. The reasons that supported this included: being more used and understood, the calculations are easier, and that measurements can be made smaller or larger just by using prefixes. If you are a true patriot and support the United States of America then you should join the urge to switch to the metric
The society will be less divided and will function better under a common language. Although English-only movement has close connections to restrictionist, anti-immigration organizations, which suggests that the English-only movement has a wider, more far-reaching, and more negative agenda than simply advocating an official English language policy, English should be the official language of United States for two main reasons: first, In 1990 US census reported that 97.1 % of the US population speak English; second and most importantly, making English the official language of the United States refers solely to the language of the government, not of the people, private business, classrooms, or more. In addition, declare English the official language of the United States would make easier business and negotiations, more people will be able to participate in democracy system, the population will have a better understanding of laws, and the diversity of languages spoken in the US will not be affect, indeed, it would have an
The United States is the only country who does not use the metric system (meters, kilometers, litters); instead they use the customary system (inches, feet). For example, if you will have to drive in another country you will not understand how far another grocery store because the sign tells you in meters not in miles.
The article written by Michael Thomsen addresses the issue: should we as a society continue using a standardized grading system. Thomsen includes many reasons supporting his ultimate conclusion that we should not continue with any system of standardized grades. However, the reasons he uses to support his conclusion are affected by significant ambiguity which weakens the overall argument.
In the making of the United States, there were many events that are important. This paper intends to highlight a few of those events including; Magna Carta, Mayflower Compact, Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation and the Federalist Papers. Many events in America’s history helped to establish the United States as a free and independent country. The Declaration of Independence in particular explains the rights and freedoms that Americans. Each document is like a stepping stones that leads to the next and building upon the pervious document.
The first step is to pre-register the patient's insurance information into the computer system and making a copy of their insurance cards. The patient's insurance information would then be verified. The patient would then be seen by a medical professional to examine the patient, discuss any test results or provide a diagnosis. Once the patient is ready to check out any payment due would be collected. The medical coder would then go over the patients' medical record and assign any diagnosis codes or procedural codes and then a claim form (CMS 1500) would be completed and submitted. The payment would also receive and posted at this time and document in the patient's record. The CMS 1500 will information from the patient, including the type of
In conclusion, the U.S. should switch their system of measurement to metric because many people would think it easier for themselves and their society. America should change to the metric system because it will promote more jobs in America, it would increase relations with other countries, and it is easier to understand and apply. There are many reasons that America should switch to the metric system and in the future Americans will probably say the word meter without knowing that before, they would have said the word foot.
According to what I read in the textbook, the CMS 1500 form is divided in two considerable parts: 1- Patient and Insured Information, which you can find in locators 1 through 13; and 2- Physician or Supplier Information, which you can find in locators 14 through 33. But this form can be divided in three sections as well: 1-Demography (from locators 1 through 13), 2- Procedural and diagnostic information (from locators 14 through 24) and 3- The technical part (from locators 25 through 33).

To satisfy this inequality (1) simultaneously, we have to find the value of C1,C2 and ,n0 using the following inequality
“Students take between ten and twenty standardized tests, depending on the grade. A total average of one hundred thirteen different ones by graduation. ”(Locker) A few years ago the United States, along with other nations, was given a test to assess the academic strengths and weaknesses of each nation and rank them accordingly. When the results were released and the United States was ranked near the bottom, it was decided to start incorporating more testing through school.
This is one of seven major articles that together provide a comprehensive discussion of the United States of America. For more information on the United States, please see the other six major articles: United States (Overview), United States (Geography), United States (People), United States (Culture), United States (Economy), and United States (Government).
In this paper I will present two differing views on the topic of the design argument. In particular, I will explain William Paley's view supporting the design argument and Bertrand Russell's view against the design argument. After a presentation of the differing views, I will then evaluate the arguments to show that William Paley has a stronger argument.

...t on their operation. In some cases, the need to avoid disruptions has led to considerations of using non- traditional timekeeping systems, such as GPS Time or a time scale maintained by an individual government contractor. Instead, why don’t we just switch to using atomic time that is accurate, continuous and doesn’t vary for millions of years?
