The measurements need to be represented in fraction form. The drawing length is 4cm and the actual length is 8mm. Actual length over the drawing length: 8mm/4cm. Simplify this fraction by determining the largest common denominator of both numbers. The largest common denominator of both numbers is 4. 8mm/4cm : 2mm/1cm . Drawing length becomes 1cm and actual length becomes 2mm. The scale is 1cm represents 2mm. Another way to solve this question would be by using data measurement with the

Bojack Horseman is an adult cartoon comedy that follows the life of the once been sitcom star and titular character Bojack Horseman. The show opens up on a scene from his old sitcom called Horsin' Around before cutting to reality where Bojack is at an interview while drunk.

“The audience for a movie of this kind becomes the lowest common denominator of feeling: a sponge.” So wrote Pauline Kael in response to The Sound of Music, blaming the victims when it was still politically correct to do so. Looking into Hollywood's dollar-sign eyes quickly explains how the film industry sidestepped laying prostrate at Kael's hemline, and yet how often have shameless tearjerkers really run the table at the box office in this millennium? Do modern audiences still need their catharsis

Ayn Rand uses the theme of collectivism and why it is evil throughout Anthem. Collectivism refers to the practice or principle of giving a group priority over each individual in it. The main character in her novel is Equality 7-2521, and she talks about how he despises the society’s way of collectivism.

In Twilight of the Idols Nietzsche writes, "My objection against the whole of sociology in England and France remains that it knows from experience only the forms of decay, and with perfect innocence accepts its instincts of decay as the norm of sociological value-judgments. The decline of life, the decrease in the power to organize, that is to tear open clefts, subordinate and super-ordinate -- all this has been formulated as the ideal in contemporary sociology." (p 541). The culture of
