Paper 1 Michael
Looking back at the history of the United States helps open our eyes to the positive and negative impacts of decisions made by our elected officials. No matter who is President, we can find many accomplishments and failures a like. President Lyndon Johnson is no different. He had many successes and failures. One of his most notable accomplishments is creating the Great Society. This was his plight to attack poverty, race, and immigration. He decided after a report produced by the Council of Economic Advisers in 1964 that he would work to eliminate poverty. The report "estimated that 22 percent of the nation's population lived in poverty, lacking adequate food, shelter, and clothing" (Schultz, 2013, p 494). He persuaded Congress to pass the Economic Opportunity Act, which was designed to include many programs to eliminate poverty. Many of these programs delt with education and jobs. He also worked to create Medicare and Medicaid to provide medical insurance for the elderly and poor (Schultz, 2013). When it came to civil rights of Americans, he signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which "outlawed discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion or sex" (Evaluating the success of the Great Society, n.d. para 7). It also allowed lawsuits against segregated schools. These programs all were seen as a positive to LBJs presidency. One last positive to look at was his work on immigration. He got rid of the national origins formula from the 1920s and opened the United States up to all immigrants (Evaluating the success of the Great Society, n.d.). These were all considered positive accomplishments of his presidency. Many see his biggest failure as the Vietnam War. His fear of the domino theory that was the thought that if one country fell to communism the surrounding ones will also fall to communism (Schultz, 2013). He felt the way to help Vietnam was to send more troops but could not get Congress to declare war on Vietnam. Instead, it turned into a police action. His involvement in Vietnam was the downfall of his presidency. As the war continued, America was rocked with protests and he lost popularity with his own political party (History.com Editors, 2009). This was his political demise. Still to this day people question why we were there.
After my research, I would say that over all President Johnson did a lot of great things for the United States. we cannot judge a president off of a few mistakes. We need to keep an open mind and look at the Presidency as a whole. My opinion is that Johnson made great strides in America. His Presidency had great impacts on the citizens of this country. While I felt his decision on Vietnam was wrong, his idea of the Great Society had a positive impact on our country.

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.
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.

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”.

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.
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.

37. Despite strong opposition to equality for Blacks in the
Southern US States, most Americans agreed with the Civil
Rights Movement
US Government granted many civil rights to blacks –
overruling individual states objections
Pres Kennedy and Johnson – supported civil rights movement
Some later Presidents (e.g. Reagan) took a hands off approach
and emphasised role of state government
Genie out of bottle though!
38. USA prided itself on being the richest country in the world
(still is)
But Poverty was a major problem – country very rich on one
(generally white) hand, very poor on another (black)
As Blacks became more urbanised, they ended up with the
worst housing in the cities – ghettos
Whites fled to the suburbs
Decline of manufacturing – blacks ended up with worst jobs
39. More poor people in cities = less tax collected in cities
Meant cities became “run down”
New housing developments – tower blocks (like Ballymun in
Dublin) meant poverty became worse
Drug dealing, crime increased.
40. From the 1940s onwards US Governments had brought in anti
poverty measures
◦ Increasing welfare
◦ Established minimum wage
◦ Increased training opportunities
However President Johnson (1963-68) increased Govt action
against poverty – his policies became known as the “War on
Poverty”
41. “Great Society” was Johnson’s term for his anti-poverty
programme
◦ Established a “Poverty Line”
◦ Set up Office of Economic Opportunity
◦ Increased funding given to public schools
◦ New housing & rent aid for low income people
◦ Set up health programmes known as Medicare (elderly support) and
Medicaid (for poor people)
However the rising tide of optimism was stopped by the
Watts Riots and by the escalating problem of the War in
Vietnam
42.
43. A cocktail of discrimination, unemployment, rising
expectations, the availability of new drugs and the ready
availability of guns meant that crime levels rose rapidly after
World War 2
The opinion grew that Johnson and his Democratic Party were
“soft on crime”
Democrats lost most of the elections from 1968 onwards
because of this and other issues
Most criminals were Black, male and poor – factors that led to
slowdown in efforts to tackle racism
