Have Fun But Not Too Much!
“But perhaps the biggest reason why intellectuals excoriated entertainment was that they understood all too well their own precariousness in a world dominated by it. For whatever the overt content of any particular work, entertainment as a whole promulgated an unmistakable theme, one that took dead aim at the intellectual’s most cherished values. That theme was the triumph of the senses over the mind, of emotion over reason, of chaos over order, of the id over the superego, of Dionysian abandon over Apollonian harmony. Entertainment was Plato’s worst nightmare. It deposed the rational and enthroned the sensational and in so doing deposed the intellectual minority and enthroned the unrefined majority.
Therein, for the intellectuals, lay utmost danger and deepest despair. They know that in the end, after all the imprecations had rung down around it, entertainment was less about morality or even aesthetics than about power—the power to replace the old cultural order with a new one, the power to replace the sublime with fun.”—Neal Gabler, Life the Movie: How Entertainment Conquered Reality, Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 1998, page 21.

Truth that Matters to Society
“Scientists must seek not just truth in general but truth that matters, and truths that matter not just to scientists but also to the larger society in which they live and work”
Philip Kitcher, “On the Autonomy of the Sciences,” Philosophy Today, 2004, pp. 51-57.
Consider the Big Picture
“Many people fall for mistaken common beliefs regarding their health because medicine today does not look at the human body as a whole. For many years there has been a trend for doctors to specialize, looking at and treating just one part of the body. We can’t see the forest for the trees. Everything in the human body is interconnected. Just because a component found in a food helps one part of the body function well, it does not mean that it is good for the entire body. When picking your food and drink, consider the big picture. You cannot decide whether a food is good or bad simply by looking at one ingredient found in that food.”

Scope:
This international book series attempts to do justice to adult education as an ever
expanding field. It is intended to be internationally inclusive and attract writers and
readers from different parts of the world. It also attempts to cover many of the areas
that feature prominently in this amorphous field. It is a series that seeks to underline
the global dimensions of adult education, covering a whole range of perspectives. In
this regard, the series seeks to fill in an international void by providing a book series
that complements the many journals, professional and academic, that exist in the
area. The scope would be broad enough to comprise such issues as ‘Adult Education
in specific regional contexts’, ‘Adult Education in the Arab world’, ‘Participatory
Action Research and Adult Education’, ‘Adult Education and Participatory
Citizenship’, ‘Adult Education and the World Social Forum’, ‘Adult Education
and Disability’, ‘Adult Education and the Elderly’, ‘Adult Education in Prisons’,
‘Adult Education, Work and Livelihoods’, ‘Adult Education and Migration’, ‘The
Education of Older Adults’, ‘Southern Perspectives on Adult Education’, ‘Adult
Education and Progressive Social Movements’, ‘Popular Education in Latin America
and Beyond’, ‘Eastern European perspectives on Adult Education’, ‘An Anti-Racist
Agenda in Adult Education’, ‘Postcolonial perspectives on Adult Education’, ‘Adult
Education and Indigenous Movements’, ‘Adult Education and Small States’. There
is also room for single country studies of Adult Education provided that a market for
such a study is guaranteed.

The role of poetry and images in creating recycling and resources saving awar...Enrique Posada
A new method is proposed to create a more conscientious attitude towards recycling and resource savings, which can be used in education and in motivation activities. It is based on the idea that the mind works in two levels of awareness and that the individuals and the human groups will act according to their belief systems, created in the two levels. The new method proposes a more poetic, artistic, imaginary approach, so that the analogical mind will clearly be part of the learning and training process.

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.
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.

description,communication, and representation, that
have relative autonomy from the economic, social,and
political realms and that often exists in aesthetic forms,
one of whose principal aim is pleasure[...] Second, and
almost imperceptibly, culture is a concept that includes
a refining and elevating element, each society’s reservoir
of the best that has been known and
thought[...]culture comes to be associated, often
aggressively with the nation or the state, this
differentiates “us” from “them”. (State oriented)

getting to know, on all the matters which most concern us,

through this knowledge, turning a stream of fresh and free
thought upon our stock notions and habits, which we now
follow staunchly but mechanically …
There is a view [of culture] in which all the love of our

human confusion, and diminishing the sum of human
