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.

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”.

Course Overview:
Composition I develops students’ abilities to write grammatical and coherent sentences and to
develop ideas fully an in an organized fashion. The course will develop students’ abilities to
produce distinctive pieces of writing based upon individual thinking and experience. It also will
stress and lead students through the composing process as they develop better understanding of
their own writing processes . . . (Composition Program Handbook 11).
Writing Requirements and Grade Distribution
Four essays (3-4 pages each) 75%
2 in-class essays; 10%
Journals; quizzes; oral reports; homework including Ha Jin
Collection 15%
Required Final Portfolio (P/F)
Class Participation & Library Assignment (P/F)*
*Class attendance and participation is expected. Failures in
these areas will result in a deduction to your overall course
grade of at least half a grade.

3. 3
NOTE: THERE ARE NO WITHDRAWALS OR INCOMPLETES FOR COMPOSITION I AND II. THIS IS A
COLLEGE POLICY.
ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENT
Class attendance and participation are expected. For absences less than three and failure to
participate in class, I will deduct points from your class work grade (see last item in list above).
For absences in excess of three, please read below.
Attendance and Participation
For English Composition I SWW you are required to attend a writing workshop one
time a week. This is an important part of your English Composition class requirement
and failure to attend will result in failing the course. Also, you are required to meet
with our in class tutor once a week outside the classroom. If you are dismissed from
tutoring because you do not regularly attend and/or have more than two
unexcused absences, you will not be able to pass this course.
Absences from class, workshop and tutoring (including those excused) in excess
of three (yes, again, that means among the class, workshop, and tutoring) will
result in an AUTOMATIC FAILING GRADE. So, for example, if you miss one
class and three tutoring sessions-or you miss two classes, one workshop session, and
one tutoring session-you are then eligible to fail this course.
Being late three times will count as one absence.
Procedures
1. Students are expected to engage in all levels of the writing process: prewriting, drafting,
revising, editing, and proofreading. Students will receive ample time to work on their
writing and will receive feedback from both the instructor and their peers.
2. Essays 1-3 may be revised once after the initial grade has been recorded. In most cases,
editing and proofreading alone will not count as a revision. Revision is more substantial,
sometimes requiring the addition of text, deletion of text, and reorganization of text. If a
student chooses to revise an essay, the revision must be submitted within one week
of the day it is returned to him or her. The original grade will be averaged in with the
second grade; however, there is no guarantee that the revision will receive a higher grade.
3
4. 4
3. Students receive a grade and feedback on each assignment before the next assignment is
due so that students can learn from the comments. Students are reminded that they can
come visit me in my office hours to discuss their writing at any time during the semester.
Portfolios
Students will be required to submit portfolios of their work in order to receive passing
grades in the course. Keep all of your work. Do not throw anything you write away.
You will need to assess all of your work for possible inclusion in the portfolio. To be
eligible to submit portfolios, students must demonstrate competency in grammar and usage
through an editing exercise and must be passing the course with a D or better.
Composition I: Portfolio Checklist
Assessment sheet (student, instructor, and reader’s name; oral component met).
Table of contents.
A self-assessment of your writing regarding this semester; this may be formatted as a
letter to the reader of the portfolio (also called: cover or reflective letter).
Diagnostic essay (not graded; clean copy).
Two essays written and revised outside of class with all drafts; attach an unmarked clean
copy on top of the drafts. This must include one argument or analysis essay with
MLA documentation and Works Cited page.
Midterm exam or second-timed writing (not graded; clean copy).
Common final exam (not graded; clean copy).
Portfolios will be graded as passing if they are deemed a level 4 on the placement and
proficiency scale. Portfolios that do not contain the required work will not be graded.
Students who do not fulfill the portfolio requirement will receive a grade of R (Repeat) for
the course, which does not affect the student’s Grade Point Average or financial aid. The
student must repeat the course and successfully complete all assignments before a grade will
be determined.
Statement on Academic Integrity
