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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Blue Bustamante
Blue Bustamante is a movie that gets me laughing until my stomach hurts. George Bustamante went to Japan to work. He seeks a job in the field of engineering, because that is what he finished from college. But life is hard in there and he was not given any work. His best friend/roommate is also an engineer but he got a job as an artist in a children’s TV series. It was his lifelong dream he says. And he repeatedly convinces George to work as an actor since he has a great body build. Although he is unsure of the role, which will be a superhero that protects the universe, he agreed to get the job since it is better than nothing. Months passed by, and his son in the Philippines is missing him more and more. He can give anything his son wants, except for his presence. His son does not understand this so he got mad at his father. And this breaks George’s heart. But he soon learns that his son idolizes the role that he is playing, that encouraged him to work better and learned to accept and love it. And they later on resolve their conflicts and their personal problems. George even got famous, which was shown at the end of the movie.
Elaboration and Likelihood Theory is evident in the scene wherein he was left with no choice and did a quick response that did not undergo the central route, just the peripheral. He just thought of his family that he needs to, this is a simple explanation of the said theory. Also, Reinforcement Theory is also present in the movie. It is an attitude change based on the opinion that has changed; because he later on accepted his role as a superhero because his son idolizes the character he is playing and that changed his perspective about the work he is doing. He became energetic and shows improvement because of that. And he also has a stalker, a beautiful Japanese girl that she helped. Apparently, she fell in love with him, but found out that he was already married. She expected that they will get married and have children and live happily ever after. But it is violated so she got mad and walked away. This is what Expectancy Violation Theory shows us, that we will respond in a different way if it did not go as we expected it to be.
2. Kabisera
Kabisera left me with life lessons. It is about a simple family that lives day-by-day. They really do not have any financial problems, but Andres, the father, does not want any help from someone, other than his friends, and have it rubbed at his face. He also does not want the man that is going to marry his daughter, but that is the least of his problems. As he was fishing, he found illegal drugs drifting in the sea. He got it on his boat and hid it in his house. He told it to his wife, and then to his best friend, Jose. Jose then persuaded the couple to sell the drugs so that they could be rich beyond their wildest imaginations. And that is when certain problems emerged. His friendship with Jose became like a thin ice. He suspected Jose of hurting his son. And because of this suspicion, Andres killed him because he does not want anyone hurting his family. His conscience was diminished. He would do anything just to achieve what he wants and he will kill anyone who crosses his way. At the end of the movie, he was not caught and imprisoned. So, he walked away with everything and became rich. Filthy rich.
Elaboration and Likelihood Theory is also present in this movie. As what is explained in the other essay, that a person uses two routes to decide and he used the shortcut, he has no choice but to concur with Jose’s decision to sell it and be rich so that his children would be proud of him. He did not think of it carefully, he just saw the opportunity of getting rich and he does not care about the means, just the end. At the climax Interpersonal Deception Theory is present. It is when communication senders try to shape the messages with lies and deceitfulness, like an icing on a cake. Because of this, his judgment about his best friend wavers. He was fooled into selling the illegal drugs by manipulating him. He used his son and weakness of having no penny to afford a hospital bill, he was the reason his son needs an operation. And at the end of the movie, Attribution Theory is evident whereas the whole movie explains the attitude change of Andres. He became violent and wants nothing but his will be done. And because he did not like his daughter’s fiancée, he got him killed. That is the best example of the theory, explaining the reasons why a person behave the way they do.
3. Shift
One of the movies that I like is “Shift”. It is an unusual love story between a gay, Trevor, and a modern metro girl, Estela. They were working at a call center when Estela lost her motivation to work there because the income does not cover for her irrational dreams, so Trevor became her mentor. Estela is uncertain at first, but they spend a lot of time together, and soon fell in love with each other. But Trevor is flirtatious, he just broke up with his 11-month boyfriend and as he went to a bar, he then fell in love with a foreigner guy. Estela was gravely hurt by this because she thought Trevor is in love with her. She then had a date with her old friend that is in love with her, to hurt Trevor back. They both push their feelings down their stomach and deny that they have feelings for each other. And at the end of the movie, Estela moved into another call center. Though she loves Trevor so much, she wants to get away from him. And she convinces herself that the income is higher there that would help her achieve her ambitions.
Uncertainty Reduction Theory and Social Penetration Theory are seen in the start of the movie as they get to know each other. Uncertainty Reduction Theory says that the initial interaction of strangers is characterized by searching for similarities or something in common to reduce uncertainty. And it is better explained by Social Penetration Theory wherein they develop a sense of familiarity, they were once strangers, but they spent a lot of time together that is why they became close and have an intimate feeling for each other. Another theory evident in the movie is Cognitive Dissonance. It is where you have two good choices and conflicting beliefs on both, but you can only choose one and you constantly convincing yourself that it is the right choice. When she left Trevor for another call center company, this is what happened to her. She does not feel good during the job interview because she knows that it means leaving Trevor, her love of her life, behind. But she chose otherwise because she needs time for herself to think and follow her dreams before anything else.
