Profanity
Adams, Michael. In praise of profanity. (pp 1-50). Oxford University Press, 2016.
Adams begins the book by talking about the debate over profane language. He says that our society has made the use of profane language an ordinary thing. He quotes examples of media that use profane language in them and about how young children use the language even though they may not understand the meaning. They hear it on a daily basis and think it is okay to use it themselves. The younger children do not think it could be a word that has sacrilegious meaning because their elders use it on a normal basis. The fact that profane language is used on mass media means that it is able to be gotten away with anywhere. He says that even though profanity is a big topic of discussion, having a voted resolution to stop it would be pointless. Voting would be pointless because no matter what the conclusion of the resolution is, people will still continue to use it. These people are considered an outlaw and Adams says that you are supposed to shun people like that. If we continue to live like we are in today’s transitional time period things that were once extreme vulgarity will continue to become the new norm for our society.
This source passes the TRAAP evaluation and gives me useful resources pertaining to the class research question. It was written in 2016 so the timeliness of the source is very relevant. This source is not the most relevant source for our research question because it simply talks about the use of the language today rather than focusing on the impact it has on children. The source is accurate while comparing two different sides of profane language. Adams compares the people who see profanity as sacrilegious and wrong to the people who use it as a normal form of communication. He mainly sides with the group of people who see profanity as swearing and uses the arguments of the opposite group to explain why the language should not be used. The author of the source, Adams, is able to be trusted because he says that English language is what he studied, and he was a professor. The purpose of my source, In Praise of Profanity, is to show the use of profanity in communication today. He says that profanity is oversimplified in today's time and that we use it based on emotions or relationships of those around.

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.
