The Malabar Rebellion of 1921 was a revolt by Mappila Muslims in the Malabar region of Kerala against British rule and Hindu landlords. It began as a response to the British attempts to arrest leaders of the Khilafat movement but later turned violent and communal as Mappilas attacked and killed thousands of Hindus. Key Mappila leaders like Variyankunnath Kunjahammed Haji and Ali Musliyar led the rebellion which established control over some areas initially. However, the British brought in more troops, declared martial law and eventually suppressed the rebellion by early 1922, arresting or killing many Mappilas and leaving thousands dead overall.

Socialization is the process by which people learn the values and behaviors appropriate for their culture. It is shaped by both nature and nurture, as well as one's social environment. Several theorists have studied socialization and identity development. Sigmund Freud believed that identity is shaped by the id, ego, and superego as they balance internal drives with external demands. Jean Piaget identified four stages of cognitive development from sensorimotor to formal operations. George Herbert Mead viewed the self as developing through social experience and seeing oneself through the perspectives of others.
This document discusses socialization, which is defined as the process of learning the norms, beliefs and values of a society or social group. It describes the four functions of socialization as establishing basic principles, forming identity, teaching social roles, and teaching skills. The major agents of socialization discussed are the family, school, peer group, mass media and workplace. The document also covers the phases of socialization across the lifespan and the concepts of resocialization and anticipatory socialization.

This document discusses the many uses of rocks. Rocks can be used for skipping, climbing, collecting, and building silly things. Houses, bricks, fireplaces, and some kitchen counters are made from rocks. Roads, sidewalks, garden paths, and driveways also use rocks. Ceramic dishes, piggy banks, vases, pencil leads, and sidewalk chalk contain rocks. Metals like those used in forks, spoons, knives, cars, scissors, and coins originate from special melted rocks. Jewelry often features rocks like diamonds, sapphires, rubies, turquoise, silver and gold. Sand is made of tiny rocks and can be melted to form glass. In conclusion, rocks
This is a PowerPoint Presentation by my second class at the Cape Fear Center for Inquiry in Wilmington, North Carolina. . This presentation reflects an inquiry continuum within the thematic unit of geography. The students began by recalling what they already knew about the seven continents and then asked questions to shape their research. Students also discussed what research sources would most helpful to answer their questions. After two sessions of small group work in the computer lab, students created PowerPoint slides to synthesize their findings. This was a challenging but age-appropriate project because students had to also work cooperatively in collaborative groups, use technology responsibly and implement design ideas to support their final product

Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic Rocksphspsquires
Igneous rocks form from the crystallization of magma. There are two main types - extrusive rocks that cool quickly at the surface, and intrusive rocks that cool slowly underground. Sedimentary rocks form through the lithification of sediments. Sediments are produced through weathering and erosion, transported, deposited, and cemented together over time under pressure. Metamorphic rocks form when rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures, causing their mineral composition and structure to change without melting. The rock cycle shows how rocks continuously transform between igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic types through geological processes.
The document discusses India's system of government. It describes the division of powers between the union and state governments. Executive power lies with the President and the Council of Ministers, while the Parliament consists of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha and exercises legislative powers. The parliamentary system was adopted from Britain. Bills pass through several readings in the two houses of Parliament before becoming law upon the President's approval.
Types, importance and uses of rocks inSameer Nawab
This document discusses the types, importance, and uses of rocks in construction. It outlines three main types of rocks - igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic - and describes their formation processes. It then discusses specific rock types like granite, limestone, sandstone, and marble, outlining their common construction applications like buildings, monuments, and bridges. The document emphasizes the importance of understanding a rock's properties for determining appropriate construction uses and foundations. Proper geological analysis is important for engineering projects to be built safely and economically.
The document discusses the three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks form from cooling lava and can have large or small crystals depending on the cooling rate. Sedimentary rocks form from compressed sediments and contain fossils. Metamorphic rocks form from existing rocks undergoing heat and pressure, and can have banded or non-banded textures.
Rocks are naturally occurring mixtures of minerals, mineraloids, glass or organic matter that are divided into three main types - igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic - based on how they were formed. Rocks are continually changed over time by various geological processes through the rock cycle, where one type of rock can be transformed into another through weathering, erosion, melting and other changes. The core, mantle and crust act as a recycling machine that redistributes rocks.
Socialization is the lifelong process by which people learn the norms, values, behaviors, and social skills needed to function in their culture. It occurs through interactions with others and influences personality development from infancy through adulthood. The main socialization agents are family, education systems, peer groups, media, and religion. Socialization helps convert individuals into social beings by teaching them appropriate roles, skills, discipline, and how to interact with others. It allows people to learn from each other and adapt across their lifespan.
Globalization is currently the most important factor shaping the global economy. While globalization has occurred in waves since the 1800s, the current phase is characterized by changes occurring more rapidly and having a greater impact than previous eras. Some key aspects of modern globalization include growing interdependence between all processes globally, the establishment of a unified global financial system, the role of information technologies in connecting the world, diminishing borders as nation-states take on changing functions, and the spread of democratic and socio-cultural values on a universal scale.
Sedimentary rocks form from the compaction and cementation of sediments and sometimes contain fossils. Igneous rocks form from the cooling of magma, either underground as intrusive rocks with large crystals or above ground as extrusive rocks with small crystals. Metamorphic rocks form from the alteration of existing rocks by heat, pressure, or chemical changes and may contain interlocking crystals or foliation.
Globalization is a process that involves the worldwide integration of economies, technologies, and cultures. It began accelerating in the late 20th century due to advances in transportation and communication technology. While globalization has led to increased economic opportunities through expanded trade and investment, it has also contributed to cultural and economic homogenization. It has impacted systems of governance, urban development, labor markets, and gender norms around the world. Both supporters and critics of globalization make arguments around its effects on issues like sovereignty, inequality, and cultural diversity.
Globalization refers to the increasing flow of goods, services, capital, people, information and ideas across national borders. It has led to nearly $23 trillion in annual imports and exports and influences many aspects of daily life through products from various countries. However, globalization also raises issues such as the use of sweatshops with poor working conditions and low pay as well as increasing global inequality between rich and poor nations. [END SUMMARY]
The document discusses globalization and how technology promotes it. Globalization is defined as the standardization of everyday life worldwide through the spread of ideas and commodities. Technology tools like social media, video chatting, and email allow people all over the world to communicate and share information instantly. This connectivity has opened up educational opportunities for students by giving them access to more in-depth global information. Places that used to seem distant can now be experienced virtually through technology with the click of a button.
The document discusses the rise of fascism in Italy and Nazism in Germany. It describes the circumstances that allowed Mussolini and Hitler to rise to power, including economic destruction from World War 1, high inflation and unemployment. Both leaders capitalized on the peoples' frustrations by blaming minority groups and using aggressive paramilitary groups to intimidate opponents and seize control. Once in power, they established brutal dictatorships based on extreme nationalism, racism and militarism.
The document discusses various types of winds including planetary winds, periodic winds, and local winds. It provides details on factors influencing atmospheric pressure and wind speed and direction. Some key points summarized:
- Planetary winds include trade winds, westerlies, and polar easterlies which are formed between global pressure belts.
- Periodic winds include monsoon winds and land/sea breezes which occur for short periods in certain places. Monsoons are caused by seasonal pressure and temperature changes.
- Local winds arise from local pressure differences and include winds like loo, chinook, foehn and harmattan.
The document examines formation of pressure belts and influence of factors like altitude, temperature
This document discusses the Earth's movements and how they cause seasons. It explains that the Earth rotates on its axis once every 24 hours, causing day and night. It revolves around the sun once every 365 days. The tilt of the Earth's axis and its elliptical orbit cause variations in sunlight over the course of a year, resulting in seasons. The summer solstice occurs on June 21 when the North pole is most tilted toward the sun, causing the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. The winter solstice is on December 22 when the North pole is most tilted away from the sun, resulting in the longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. The document also discusses time zones,
Water is essential for life on Earth and exists in three states - liquid, solid (ice) and gas (water vapor). Yellowstone National Park has many geysers and hot springs formed due to underground volcanic activity. Various water conservation techniques like contour bunding, contour trenches, checkdams, terracing and mulching can prevent soil erosion and retain moisture in the soil. The Chenab Project in India involves construction of dams, barrages and hydropower stations.
