The document discusses perspectives on international relations and the role of legitimacy and deception in politics and war. It outlines differences between realist and liberal perspectives, with realists viewing the international system as inherently conflictual and liberals being more optimistic about cooperation. It discusses Alexander Wendt's view that how states perceive anarchy shapes their behavior. Legitimacy is necessary to sustain war, as authorities must convince people war is necessary. There has been a shift towards new ideologies that dehumanize others and undermine respect for civilians. The three kinds of deception in politics are concealment, spinning, and lying, with lying being more accepted in international politics due to the anarchic system between states.

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.
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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
2. 1. Outline the differences between the realist and
liberal perspectives on international relations
3. Both accept the premise that the structure of the international
system is "anarchic". This means they recognize there is no
sovereign authority governing the system. The differences occurs
regarding the implications of this for behaviour on the global arena.
Realists regard history as a repetitive pattern of fear and disorder
and humans as not inherently good. They assume states, acting in a
permanent condition of war and disorder focus on domination and
security.
Liberals regard history as progress and humans as innately good.
Peace and cooperation are achievable through democracy and trade
for mutual benefits and interdependence.Neo-liberalsare still
optimistic, but less rosy, recognizing dangers of wars and focusing
on good institutions.
4. 2... then explain what constructivist Alexander
Wendt meant by " 'anarchy is what states make of it”
5. Social constructivists consider humans (agents) as
continually create (and re-creating) their world (structure)
through collective action.
Humans make sense of the world and make it meaningful
through ideas and experiences, which varies over time and
place.
Hence, as Wendt remarked, how anarchy actually plays out
depends on which images of each states act according to
(Hobbes, Lacke, Kant).
6. 3. Define legitimacy in general and explain how
legitimacy is necessary to sustain war and conflict
7. A group of individuals consents, actively or passively, to
obey a ruling body or a set of policies.
As long as wars, after all, is about killing other people the
authorities have provide the “knowledge” that war is
necessary in the first place and that the war is conducted
properly.
8. 4. What is meant by the statement that there has
been a shift in ideologies as drivers of conflicts (in
Hoskins & O'Loughlin)?
9. There is a new conceptualization of "us and them" of first
and second order people ("evil", "barbarians"), which
undermines the respect for traditional rules of war.
This may even justify lethal violence against civilians
10. 5. What are the three kinds of deception in politics,
and why is one of them only accepted in international
politics, according to Mearsheimer?
11. Deception is not telling the whole truth, and consistsof:
1. Concealment – hiding negative parts
2. Spinning – emphasising positive parts
3. Lying - making a false statement.
As states have a well ordered and hierarchic structure, lying
undermines society.
As internationalrelationswith anarchic structure, there are
sometimes good strategic reasons for leaders to lie to other
countries and even to their own people, for the sake of their
interests and security.
