Urbanization refers to an increase in the proportion of people living in urban areas compared to rural areas. While urbanization creates job opportunities and advances technology and infrastructure, it can also lead to issues like lack of sanitation, poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, and pollution. Rapid and unplanned urbanization can quickly result in urban violence and social unrest as the high cost of living in cities can trap people in poverty. Both small businesses and agriculture are negatively impacted as markets shift due to urbanization. Careful control of urban growth is needed to balance development and environmental protection.

By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.

This presentation provides a briefing on how to upload submissions and documents in Google Classroom. It was prepared as part of an orientation for new Sainik School in-service teacher trainees. As a training officer, my goal is to ensure that you are comfortable and proficient with this essential tool for managing assignments and fostering student engagement.
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.

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.
2. WHAT IS URBANIZATION ?
•Urbanisation means an increase in the proportion
of people of people living in urban areas compared
to rural areas.
•An urban area is a built-up such as town or city.
•A rural area is an area of countryside
3. Causes of urbanization
• Rural to urban migration is happening on a massive scale due to
population pressure and lack of resourcs in rural areas.
• People living in rural areas are “PULLED” to the city. Often they
believe that the standard of living in urban areas will be much
better in urban areas.
• Natural increase caused by a decrease in death rates remain high.
4. POSITIVE EFFECTS
OF URBANIZATION
Creation of employment opportunities
Technological and infrastructural
advancements
Quality education
Medical facilities
Improved transport and communication
6. IMPACT OF UBANIZATION OVER
ENVIRONMENT
1. Impact on atmosphere and climate.
Creation of heat island.
Change in air quality.
2. Impact on lithosphere and land resources.
Erosion and other changes in land quality.
Pollution.
3.Impact on hydrosphere and water resources.
Flow of water into streams.
Flow of water through streams.
Degraded water quality.
7. Consequences of rapid
urbanization ?
• While moving to a city offers
individuals more opportunities
to improve their living
conditions, the high cost of
living and competition for
livelihoods can also trap
people in poverty.
• Rapid and unplanned
urbanization can also quickly
lead to urban violence and
social unrest.
8. Impacts of Urbanization On
Business
• Positive Impacts
Increase in market
Profits of the business will increase
Business can benefit from the infrastructure
• Negative Impacts
Small scale industries will lose market.
Agricultural products or agriculture will take back seat.
9. Conclusion
• The urbanization plays an important role in development of the
society and if there will be no control on growth of urbanization it
may lead to environmental pollution and it will also affect the
economic growth and economic development of the country.
