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.

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.

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”.

Conventions of the Horror Genre
1. CONVENTIONS OF THE
HORROR GENRE
Conventions “the widely recognised way of doing something –
this has to do with content, style and form”
2. SETTING
• The setting is deemed to be one of the main reasons you can tell the genre straight
away. The setting of a horror film can be in places like: small communities or
isolated places, places with dark history i.e. abandoned houses.
• Isolation is key, making the audience feel how the character is feeling.
• These can all help build up a storyline
3. TECHNICAL CODES
• High and low angles can create fear and nightmares
• Point of view shots are used to allow the audience to see the world from the main character or monster
etc.
• Handheld shots to promote the feeling of the unknown and terror. Makes it different for the audience to
know what's going on
• Using the depth of field on the camera. Can make it harder for audience to view what's going on in the
scene
• Disturbing, diegetic sounds. Can be a heartbeat or footsteps etc.
• Extreme close ups on actors face can help audiences identification with horror and fear
• Editing to create tension and suspense. If the editing is not fast, then we know that something bad could
and will happen
4. ICONOGRAPHY
• Specific colours like blacks and reds linking to blood = evil = danger
• Lighting to create dark shadows but also to create bonfires. Fire = danger
• Props can help the audience to identify the genre. Knifes, chainsaws etc.
• Costume of the actors or actresses. Could be ripped or have blood stains to create tension for
the audience, putting them into the actors shoes
• The iconography of monsters/villains in film. Can create fear, terror. Frankenstein is a good
example
5. NARRATIVE STRUCTURE
• There will always be a hero, a man or a protagonist. This can keep with the conventions of the horror
genre. They must embark on a mission to save someone or kill someone to solve all their problems to
have a happy ending
• Make it recognisable for the audience, do not make it different to any other horror film
• The first act in a horror film focuses on central characters beginning a venture into a strange setting
• The end of the film normally involves a dramatic, sometimes apocalyptic, showdown between monsters
and characters of the film. In some horror films, the resolution of the plot leaves open the possibility of its
return
• Narrative structure provides a formula or template in film production
• Films would not be recognisable without a narrative structure
6. CHARACTER TYPES
• The main protagonist, often the victim and/or the hero of the film
• The villain, often a monster, alien or serial killer
• The teenager that always gets hurt/badly injured/ possibly killed
• Police officers can either be good or bad
