This is my English assessment that I had made with one friend from high school about the theme of multiculturism. This is a somewhat lesson about, for example, how we can be very patient with some people, like Muslims, either that they had made terrible and bad things. I had nothing against the Muslims or any other race, culture or religion beyond ours.
Classmate oneThe most important element from my project is civi.docxbartholomeocoombs
Classmate one:
The most important element from my project is civil rights since it is ongoing issue that affects everyone. Civil rights need to be monitored for women, people of color and other minorities that are subject to discrimination. For instance, women are still being paid less than men. African Americans are being racially profiled by the police and others. Civil rights are being violated for those of the Muslim faith and Christians are being chastised and discriminated against because of their religious beliefs. Civil rights violations are driving several issues that weaken previously earned freedoms. As the old saying says: “Freedoms are not free”. There is a price to pay for everything. Injustice is the basis of unrest and a society that is in turmoil (Axford, & Huggins (eds.),2011). The civil right protests of the 1960s made everyone aware that African Americans were not being fairly along with discriminatory practices towards other races. Countries that continue to have serious civil rights violations are slowing positive change and growth possibilities in their country both in tourism, commerce and in other areas.
Civil rights globally relate to human rights violations. Injustices are a worldwide problem and is my number one pick of importance because of the long-range consequences that are involved. The issue of civil rights was addressed by the United Nations in 1945 after atrocities were so prevalent during World War II against Jews and other ethnicities (Reilly, 2012, p. 207). Millions of Jews were killed while many did nothing and this is why human rights and civil rights violations should be monitored and a top priority in all countries. Turning a blind eye to abuses is a dangerous thing.
Slavery, severe mistreatment and putting people in camps were all violations of peoples civil rights. Even the US put its Japanese citizens in camps during the Second World War. This was a violation of human and civil rights. This was a dark piece of our history. I chose civil rights as the most important since this has continued to be a problem on varying levels. For instance, civil rights violations are often two steps forwards and one step back.

Module Four
In this module, we focus on the evolution of the global and virtual (Web-based) societies of the twenty-first century. We begin by defining globalization—what it is and how it has developed through the increased sophistication of telecommunications and large, international financial systems. We then explore the individual's role in global society, and how roles in poor societies differ from those in rich societies. For example, we'll explore how the physical distance between these societies affects individuals' feelings of responsibility and involvement.
We will then investigate a new and growing society that is essentially built on physical distance—the virtual society of the Internet. In our explorations we consider two important questions: How do we interact as individuals in a Web-based society, and how can our knowledge of sociology help us to understand this world better?

What Is Society?
The very definition or perception of society has changed over the last century, as its elements and functions have changed. One hundred years ago, few individuals left the community in which they were raised. Experiences in other countries, even cities, were read about in novels or discussed as tall tales and exciting adventures by those who had the rare experience of travel.
As the twentieth century wore on, jet travel and telecommunications expanded the community we all live in. We became quite familiar with the experiences of those outside of our hometown, first through motion pictures and television and then through the Internet. Cultural experiences were delivered to us through these media and broadened our view of the world and our global society, but these are virtual—not personal—experiences.
Virtual living through the media has become more common in the last decade, and much of our knowledge and many of our experiences are influenced by this virtual world: It influences how we define our identities, develop our opinions, and exercise .

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
