A measuring tool used by carpenters, bricklayers and other workers is called a level.
The word level is used to describe the horizontality of a certain thing. For example, it can be recognized at a level such as the height to which something reaches or to which it has been located . It is also accepted as the maximum height that the surface of a liquid substance reaches (hence, for example, it is common to say phrases like "the level of the river has risen" ).
Other meanings that, according to the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) , are associated with the idea of level are the one that defines this word as the measurement of a quantity in relation to a specific scale ( "blood sugar level" ); the one that presents it as a synonym for category, rank or rank ( "he is a player of excellent level" ); that which admits it as the name given to the instrument that allows discovering the difference or equality of height that may exist between two points ; that which speaks of level as the similarity or similarity in any line or species ; and the one that presents it as the degree or height that is achieved in certain issues in the social field ( "this is a person of good cultural level" ).
The level as a measurement tool or resource
It should be noted that a level is also a measuring tool that is useful for checking the horizontality or verticality of any piece. Nowadays there are levels of different types that are frequently used by surveyors, bricklayers, carpenters and blacksmiths, among other workers.
Furthermore, we cannot ignore the fact that the concept at hand is also used very frequently in the field of education. Thus, we usually talk about educational levels to refer to the various specialties (doctorates, bachelor's degrees, high school...) that exist within the system and that determine the educational position in which a person finds themselves with respect to others.
Different types of measurements allow us to know the level of various things.
altitude
On the other hand, it is necessary to highlight that sea level is known as the level that is taken as a reference to determine the altitude of various locations and geographical features.
As the sea level is not kept fixed by the tides and is not the same for the entire planet, each country establishes a predetermined level in a specific space and at a certain time.
The idea of level in video games
In video games , a level is a specific area within the virtual world, where players must overcome different challenges or meet certain objectives until they complete it and move on to the next area.
In this sense we can establish that the expression "go to the next level" has already been created and used with complete normality by those who are fans of this type of entertainment. With it, what is expressed is precisely what was previously mentioned: that the player in question has managed to overcome the missions that were assigned to him and, for this reason, he manages to continue playing in the adventure of the video game in question.
The quality of life
In the same way, in this definition we cannot ignore talking about what is called standard of living . This is an expression that attempts to reflect, either individually for a person or at the general level of a country, the degree of material well-being one has.
Thus, for example, the following phrase can be used: «Manuel came from a humble family but, thanks to his work and the effort he had been making, he had managed to acquire a very high standard of living as shown by his spectacular house, his clothes. of the best designers, their leisure luxuries or their latest generation cars.
