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.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities.

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.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. EFFECTS THEORY
Effects theory implies that a media product has a direct
and powerful effect on its audiences, and that these
audiences are passive.

and powerful effect on its audiences, and that these
audiences are passive.
The theory is very deterministic, meaning that there is a
clear cause and effect model:
4. EFFECTS THEORY
Effects theory implies that a media product has a direct
and powerful effect on its audiences, and that these
audiences are passive.
The theory is very deterministic, meaning that there is a
clear cause and effect model:
The text itself being the cause, and then the change in the
audience mindset or actions being the effect.

audiences are passive.
The theory is very deterministic, meaning that there is a

The theory is split into four parts:
HYPODERMIC NEEDLE
DESENSITISATION
COPYCAT
CULTIVATION
7. EFFECTS THEORY
HYPODERMIC NEEDLE
The theory suggests that the mass media could influence a very
large group of people directly and uniformly by ‘injecting’ them
with appropriate messages designed to trigger a desired response.
8. EFFECTS THEORY
HYPODERMIC NEEDLE
The theory suggests that the mass media could influence a very
large group of people directly and uniformly by ‘injecting’ them
with appropriate messages designed to trigger a desired response.
The hypodermic needle model suggests that media messages are
injected straight into a passive audience which is immediately
influenced by the message.

The hypodermic needle model suggests that media messages are
injected straight into a passive audience which is immediately
influenced by the message.
Examples:
Nazi Propaganda
War of the Worlds Radio Documentary
11. EFFECTS THEORY
COPYCAT
Copycat theory simply suggests that the audience will attempt to
recreate or reenact what they are exposed to.
This is a much more severe effect along the same lines as
cultivation theory.
12. EFFECTS THEORY
COPYCAT
Copycat theory simply suggests that the audience will attempt to
recreate or reenact what they are exposed to.
This is a much more severe effect along the same lines as
cultivation theory.
Examples:
Bobo doll experiment
American high school shootings
14. EFFECTS THEORY
DESENSITISATION
Desensitisation suggests that the more an audience experiences a
shocking event, the less shocked that they become by it. The
process of seeing something in a safe environment such as on
television distinctly alters their reactions and emotions towards
that action.
15. EFFECTS THEORY
DESENSITISATION
Desensitisation suggests that the more an audience experiences a
shocking event, the less shocked that they become by it. The
process of seeing something in a safe environment such as on
television distinctly alters their reactions and emotions towards
that action.
It is suggested that because of violence in computer games and on
television, people are now less shocked by seeing violence in the
real world. (This also applies elsewhere, for example anorexia, and
positively, for example race and homosexuality)
16. EFFECTS THEORY
DESENSITISATION
Also, as people become desensitised, the threshold for violence in
future texts rises.
This is seen as film ratings change over time, content changes,
and X-rated films get cleared for viewing.

CULTIVATION
Cultivation theory suggests that continued exposure to certain
situations will change our views on them, to closer match what
we have seen in media texts.
24. EFFECTS THEORY
CULTIVATION
Cultivation theory suggests that continued exposure to certain
situations will change our views on them, to closer match what
we have seen in media texts.
As an audience we inherently believe what we see, at least up to a
point. Because of this, repeated viewings of a particular point of
view will alter our own views.

37. Write down your definition of ‘gratification’
“ Pleasure, gained from the satisfaction of a desire. ”
38. USES AND GRATIFICATION THEORY
The basic tenet of Uses and Gratification theory is that people are
not helpless victims of all powerful media, but use media to fulfil
their various needs. These needs serve as motivations (gratifications
sought) for using media.
39. USES AND GRATIFICATION THEORY
The basic tenet of Uses and Gratification theory is that people are
not helpless victims of all powerful media, but use media to fulfil
their various needs. These needs serve as motivations (gratifications
sought) for using media.
Gratifications obtained should correspond with gratifications sought
for the media to be able to meet the needs of the users. Jay G.
Blumler and Elihu Katz devised their uses and gratifications model
in 1974 to highlight four areas of gratification in media texts for
audiences:

42. USES AND GRATIFICATION THEORY
SURVEILLANCE (INFORMATION)
The surveillance need is based around the idea
that people feel better having the feeling that
they know what is going on in the world around
them.
43. USES AND GRATIFICATION THEORY
SURVEILLANCE (INFORMATION)
The surveillance need is based around the idea
that people feel better having the feeling that
they know what is going on in the world around
them.
The surveillance model then is all about awareness. We use the
mass media to be more aware of the world, gratifying a desire for
knowledge and security.
44. USES AND GRATIFICATION THEORY
SURVEILLANCE (INFORMATION)
An example:
As you are being driven home
from school you see a hoard
of police cars and roads being
closed as several helicopters
fly overhead. When you get
home you turn on the
television to find out what is
going on.

50. USES AND GRATIFICATION THEORY
ESCAPISM / DIVERSION
The diversion need describes what's commonly termed as
escapism - watching the television so we can forget about
our own lives and problems for a while and think about
something else.
51. USES AND GRATIFICATION THEORY
ESCAPISM / DIVERSION
This can work with positive programmes, such as holiday shows or the
constant happy endings in the Australian soap operas (Neighbours). Most
commonly this positive diversion in film is associated with comedies.
52. USES AND GRATIFICATION THEORY
ESCAPISM / DIVERSION
This can work with positive programmes, such as holiday shows or the
constant happy endings in the Australian soap operas (Neighbours). Most
commonly this positive diversion in film is associated with comedies.
Or with negative programmes, such as the bleak EastEnders or a tragic
film, which help to put our own problems into perspective:
“At least my life's not that bad!”
53. USES AND GRATIFICATION THEORY
ESCAPISM / DIVERSION
What sort of things do you watch to take your mind off things
if you’ve had a particularly rubbish day?
56. USES AND GRATIFICATION THEORY
PERSONAL IDENTITY
The personal identity need explains how being a
subject of the media allows us to reaffirm the
identity and positioning of ourselves within society.
57. USES AND GRATIFICATION THEORY
PERSONAL IDENTITY
The personal identity need explains how being a
subject of the media allows us to reaffirm the
identity and positioning of ourselves within society.
The characters in soaps are usually designed to have wildly
different characteristics, so that everyone can find someone to
represent themselves, someone to aspire to, and someone to
despise.

PERSONAL IDENTITY
The use of the media for forming personal identity
can also be seen outside of fiction:
Sports personalities and pop stars can often
become big role models, inspiring young children
everywhere (which is why there's such an outcry
when one of them does something wrong).

We also talk to the TV a lot. Not many football fans can sit through
a televised match without shouting at the players or the referee,
and many people tell characters what to (or not to do) next.
