Pick a topic.
The topic I selected is the Native American topic. The Native Americans are people that are indigenous to Americas; these people lived there before the European colonization. The Native Americans comprise of a great number of different states, ethnic groups and tribes most of them continue to endure as political communities. The Native Americans were also known as American Indians, Aboriginal People’s, Native Canadians, First People and Aboriginal Americans.
Choose four specific events related to your topic.
The first event between the periods 1877 to 1945 is the killing of the Crazy Horse. Crazy Horse was a major war chief of the people of Lakota Sioux who was born in 1842. The event took place on September 6 1877. The event took place after Crazy Horse was arrested as rumors were passed that he was planning to get back to battle and due to his resistance to be jailed, he was killed. Crazy Horse was taken to jail in Fort Robinson and it was there that he resisted jailing and was killed. Fort Robinson was located in Nebraska State in United States central region (Danver 2015). Before Crazy Horse was arrested and killed, he had surrendered on May 6 1877 to General George Crook in Fort Robinson. This was after the assurance they were allowed to settle with his followers in Powder River country of Montana. After Crazy Horse resisted imprisonment by an Indian guard, a soldier using a bayonet thrust murdered him. He was 36 years old; this was historical since the Native Americans knew Crazy Horse for fighting and defeating the U.S Army. This was the worst war and to the Native Americans he was their hero.The second event from 1877 to 1945 was the Northern Cheyenne Escape. This event led to the Northern Cheyenne escaped from their reservation due to the poor conditions that they faced in the reservation, and these conditions included insufficient food and lack of tents. The Northern Cheyenne Escape took place from the period of 1878 to 1879. There was no specific date given for the occurrence of the event. The escape took place in states such Montana, Oklahoma, Kansas, South Dakota and Nebraska. The escape was led by the Northern Cheyenne leaders they included; Old Crow, Morning Star, Wild Hog and Little wolf. All of these leaders decided to move their subjects to the north. Once upon a time, the groups were divided into two parts. The Morning Star was in charge as well as Little Wolf. However, the group led by Morning Star was harassed and taken to Fort Robinson in Nebraska. The event was historical since the groups were divided and they were glad to ...

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”.

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.
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.

28. Indians Fight Back.
The Indians fought on and off from 1862 to 1890.
Leaders in the struggle against the encroaching
Americans were the Sioux and the Cheyenne.
The struggle began in 1862 when a small band of young
Sioux, while searching for food, killed five whites near a
reservation in Minnesota.The white farmers in the area
promptly fled for their lives. Equally frightened, the Sioux
split into two groups. One fled the vicinity, but the other,
afraid of retaliation, decided to attack first. Hundreds of
settlers were killed and their farmhouses burned before
the state militia succeeded in defeating the Sioux.

30. Most of the Indians who were taken prisoner were later
pardoned by President Lincoln, but thirty-eight were
hanged “at a great hanging-bee”the day after Christmas,
1862. In 1863 the remaining Minnesota Sioux, defeated,
were forced to yield their land and leave the state.

34. Chivington Massacres the Cheyenne.
Farther south, in the Colorado Territory, the situation was
quite different.There, miners had forced the Cheyenne
into a barren area known as the Sand Creek Reserve.
Short of food, bands of Indians began raiding nearby trails
and settlements. Colorado Governor John Evans
immediately called out the militia. At the same time, he
urged those Indians who did not want to fight to report to
Fort Lyon where they would be safe from harm.

36. In the fall of 1864, some five hundred Cheyenne were
encamped on Sand Creek.Two flags fluttered above the
camp: the Stars and Stripes, and a white flag — both
symbols of the Indians’desire for peace. In the meantime,
General S. R. Curtis, United States army commander in
the West, had sent a telegram to the head of the Colorado
militia, Colonel J. M. Chivington: “I want no peace till the
Indians suffer more.” So at daybreak of November 29,
Chivington and his troops fell upon the sleeping Indians
and killed about four hundred fifty of them.

38. Summative Assessment:
Focusing on the six paragraphs under the subheadings,
“Indians Fight Back” and “Chivington Massacres the
Cheyenne” (pp. 415-16), rewrite the history textbook
selection without changing the factual aspects of it.
Meaning, after identifying the bias of the current text,
think about how you might use diction, voice, and
inclusion/exclusion to create a different bias in your
own version.
39. You may confine your writing to any three contiguous
paragraphs for this assessment. In a fourth and
separate paragraph, you will need to explain which
method(s) you employed (inclusion/exclusion, diction,
voice, or other) to substantively change the bias, citing
specific examples (i.e., quotes) from the text.
