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. 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.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

especially a harmful one, is called an addict.
6. 5
DRUG DEPENDENCE
Drugs are prescribed by physicians for the prevention or treatment
of diseases, or for increasing the physical and mental performance
and are withdrawn as soon as the desired effect is achieved.
Repeated use of certain drugs on a periodic or continuous basis
may make the body dependence. Such drugs are called
psychotropic drugs. They act on the brain and alter behavior,
consciousness and capacity of perception. Hence, they are also

HOW DOES ADDICTION BEGIN?
There are many factors that lead people to drug addiction:
1. Curiosity: Frequent references to drugs by public media create
curiosity for having a personal experience of the drugs.
2. Friend’s pressure: Frequent appreciation of drug experience by
friends allures others to start the use of drugs.
3. Frustration and Depression: Some people start taking drugs to
get relief from frustration and depression.
4. Desire for More Work: Students sometimes take drugs to keep
awake the whole night to prepare for examination. It is not
desirable as it may cause mental breakdown.
5. Looking for a Different World: A wrong notion that the drugs
open up a new world tempts some youngsters to start taking-
drugs.

Social Disease - Smoking, Drinking and Use of Drugs
Smoking and drinking and use of drugs frequently or
regularlyare social diseases. They adversely affect the
health of the addicts and the society. Young people take to
these habits for fun, show off or curiosity, as an adventure
or feeling of freedom, or as a gesture of defiance against
the elders who themselves indulge in these activities but
check the youngsters.
Other factors that make people take to these vices are
inability to face problems of life indifference shown by
members of the family, and encouragement or pressure by
friends. Temporary escape from the life problems and
mental relaxation felt on taking the drugs in the beginning
increase persons interest in them.
Soon they become habitual and find in difficult to leave.
The daily dose to get the desired effect increases with time.
As in other countries, the menace of drug addiction is
spreading in India also. A large number of our young men
and women have taken to intoxicants. About 87.6 per cent
drug addicts are between the ages of 14 and 25 years.

TOBACCO
Sources :

smoking. Now the tobacco plant has spread the world over. It has
large, quote to lanceloate leaves and terminal clusters of tubular,
white or pink flowers.
Modes of Use:
Tobacco is used for smoking, chewing and snuffing. Its main
stimulating component is poisonous volatile alkaid nicotine, which
causes addiction. Nicotine synthesis occurs in the roots of the
plant but it is stored in the leaves. The leaves contain 2 to 8%
nicotine. Inhaling tobacco smoke from cigars, cigarettes, biddies,
pipes and hubble-bubble is called smoking. Cigar is a roll of
tobacco leaf. Cigarette is cut tobacco wrapped in paper. Bidi is
tobacco wrapped. In a piece of leaf. Tobacco smoke is drawn
directly from pipe and through water is hubble-bubble. Smoking
may give some temporary relief to the strained nerves but in the
long run it proves a dangerous health hazard. The quantity of
nicotine contained in one cigar may prove fatal if injected
intravenously into a person. When smoked only 10% of the smoke
is inhaled. Hence, no immediate ill effect is observed. Smokers may
develop a physiological craving for nicotine and then they cannot
give up smoking.

ALCOHOL
Sources:
Ethyl alcohol, or ethanol, flammable, colourness liquid having a

the help of yeast enzymes. It is the principal constituent and the
intoxicating principle of wines.

disappointments and failures
17. 16
What Happens when Alcohol gets in stomach:
Alcohol is quickly absorbed in the stomach and upper part of small
intestine and reaches all the tissues in minutes. Its oxidation starts
at once and a large amount of heat in produced. Since heat is not
needed in the body, it is taken up by the blood and carried to the
skin for dissipation.
Since the receptors of heat are located in the skin, the rush of
blood to the skin gives a false impression of warmth in the body.
The blood supply of internal organs is greatly reduced resulting in
fall of temperature in them. Energy released by alcohol is not used
in any life process. Rather the energy derived from food is used up
in ridding the body of excess heat.

CONCLUSION
Overall, a general decreasing trend can be observed in cigarette
use and alcohol use among adolescents. However, despite rather
strict regulations on tobacco in most countries and on alcohol in
some countries, adolescents still report relatively easy access to
tobacco and alcohol. Moreover, trends over the past two decades
indicate a closing of the gender gap in the use of tobacco and
alcohol.
Drug use and addiction cause a lot of disease and disability in the
world. Recent advances in neuroscience may help improve policies
to reduce the harm that the use of tobacco, alcohol, and other
psychoactive drugs impose on society.
