Assignment Description
This assignment builds on the Third Applied Communication Skills Project:
Writing a Process Directive Memo
. For this assignment, assume that the CEO and other company executives were so pleased with your process directive memo, that they asked you to create a presentation launching the mandatory initiative described in that memo.
But company executives are concerned about “buy-in” from employees; they want to avoid a situation where employees begrudgingly attend the mandated activity described in your memo without understanding its importance or how the mandated activity will foster a culture of inclusion for transgender employees. Given these concerns, your presentation is a persuasive one designed to motivate and to engage employees.
Your PowerPoint presentation will be disseminated via an online platform. Employees will be required to view it prior to engaging in the activity described in your memo. When planning content and design, review the
Strategies for Persuading with Excellence
on pp. 260-264 of the text and
PowerPoint and Other Supporting Aids
on pp. 293-302 of the text. Furthermore, the Module 4, Class 10 Supplemental Reading List contains additional resources about how to design engaging PowerPoint presentations.
Length
Because the specific presentation purpose is to motivate and to engage employees, not to inform or to describe the mandated activity (i.e., that was the purpose of your process directive memo), limit your presentation to
no more than 10
PowerPoint slides.

Introduction:
Many Americans are still confronting medical bills that are large enough to threaten their family financial health, up to and including personal bankruptcy. While more people have health insurance under the ACA, some people still lack coverage or have significant gaps in coverage for a variety of reasons. Some expenses are related to the high cost of treatments for certain diseases and conditions. Other expenses are related to the “routine” costs associated with insurance premiums and cost sharing for covered benefits.

http://www.learner.org/vod/vod_window.html?pid=2469
During the early 1930s, when the country was struggling with the beginning of the Great Depression, President Hoover told the people that the economy would soon improve. How could he persist with this message amid the ominous realities of the time?
As a sort of drastic measure in 1932, Hoover was driven to create the Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC), a funding agency from which large industries and financial institutions could obtain investment capital. Though the RFC contributed about $2 billion in investment to the economy, why was the measure largely a failure??
Economics historian Robert Heilbroner suggested that from the classical economists' perspective, the appropriate metaphor to describe our economy might be that of a rocking boat but that from Keynes's perspective, a more accurate metaphor might be that of an elevator. What did Heilbroner mean by this comparison?
The narrator suggests that Keynes's economic idea was so revolutionary that it "changed the nature of capitalism forever." To what idea does he refer?
Why did Roosevelt's efforts not resolve the Great Depression sooner? What finally ended it?

Why Are Comics Still in Search of
Cultural Legitimization?
Thierry GroensTeen
Although comics have been in existence for over a century and a half, they suffer from
a considerable lack of legitimacy.
To those who know and love it, the art that has given us Rodolphe Töpffer and
Wilhelm Busch, Hergé and Tardi, Winsor McCay and George Herriman, Barks and
Gottfredson, Franquin and Moebius, Segar and Spiegelman, Gotlib and Bretécher,
Crumb and Mattotti, Hugo Pratt and Alberto Breccia, not to mention The Spirit,
Peanuts or Asterix . . . in short, comic art, has nothing left to prove. If its validity as an
art form appears self-evident, it is curious that the legitimizing authorities (universities,
museums, the media) still regularly charge it with being infantile, vulgar, or insignificant.
This as if the whole of the genre were to be lowered to the level of its most mediocre
products—and its most remarkable incarnations ignored. Comic art suffers from an
extraordinarily narrow image, given the richness and diversity of its manifestations.
Furthermore, its globally bad reputation jeopardizes the acknowledgment of its most
talented creators. Comic art’s continuing inability to reap the symbolic benefits of its
most accomplished achievements is particularly striking and merits elucidation. This is
the subject I would like to reflect upon today. Some of the points I will make concern
the specific history and situation of French comics and cannot be applied to other
national situations without some adaptation.
I will start by evoking some of the paradoxes of the history of the 9th art.
Modern (printed) comics appeared in the 1830s—in the form of Rodolphe Töpffer’s
pioneering work1—which makes them more or less contemporary with the invention
of photography. And yet, it was not until the 1960s that the French language found a
permanent name for this mode of expression—that was, by then, over a hundred years
old. During this long period, comics were known, not as bandes dessinées (literally strips
that have been drawn) but, successively or indiscriminately, as histoires en estampes, which
is Töpffer’s own term (stories told in prints), histoires en images (picture stories), récits
illustrés (illustrated tales), films dessinés (films made of drawings) and of course, comics.

Whos the bossIn a holacracy, there isnt one. It isnt as flak.docx
Who's the boss?
In a holacracy, there isn't one. It isn't as flaky as it sounds--even larger companies like Zappos are kissing hierarchy goodbye
The first thing the advocates of holacracy would like to clear up is that, even though it's a management philosophy about getting rid of managers, this doesn't mean pushing a company into anarchy, or even hippy-dippy Montessori indulgence. Quite the opposite: They suggest holacracy is about companies growing up.
Take Phil Caravaggio, the founder of Precision Nutrition, a 60-person Toronto firm specializing in tailored life coaching. As his firm grew past the point where it could be run informally on the strength of personal relationships, he went looking for a way to structure the company without setting up yet another deadening corporate hierarchy.
His search led him to holacracy, a governance method that emerged from a software firm in Pennsylvania, of all places, over the last decade. Since then, holacracy has racked up a number of big-name adherents, most notably Zappos, the 1,500-employee, Amazon-owned online footwear store, and the chatter has been growing.
"It's a system for giving everyone real clear autonomy without everything devolving into chaos," explains Caravaggio, speaking over sparkling water in a corner of the Soho club in downtown Toronto.
Caravaggio might be said to head up the firm, though this is where things get fuzzy, because in addition to rejecting hierarchy, holacracy also eschews job titles. When pressed, he says he's technically the "lead link of the general company circle"; one senses that he's had a lot of practice explaining this to people.
In a holacracy, the organization is grouped into a series of concentric, autonomous circles--say, a finance circle, a marketing circle that might contain a web-design circle, all within a big circle that represents the company itself.
Every circle has a leader, who does many of the things a traditional boss does, like deciding on priorities and assigning who does what on the team. But no circle's leader is allowed to butt in on the decision-making process of any other circle--even the smaller ones.
The way these circles speak to each other is one of holacracy's hallmarks. In a traditional organization, the team managers typically represent their teams in meetings. But this puts managers in a bind: On one hand, they have to champion their team's interests to the company; on the other, they have to be the ones to impose their superior's decisions on their team--two roles that can be completely at odds. In a holacracy, each circle elects a representative who's not the leader to sit in other circles, report on their team's progress, and express its concerns to the broader company.
In fact, everything about the way a holacracy works is determined by a set of written rules. It's all laid out in a detailed, but surprisingly concise, 30-page constitution: who is allowed to do what, how meetings are run, how decisions get made, and how to mak.

WHO’S WITH ME FALSE CONSENSUS, BROKERAGE, ANDETHICAL DECISI.docx
WHO’S WITH ME? FALSE CONSENSUS, BROKERAGE, AND
ETHICAL DECISION MAKING IN ORGANIZATIONS
FRANCIS J. FLYNN
Stanford University
SCOTT S. WILTERMUTH
University of Southern California
We propose that organization members overestimate the degree to which others share
their views on ethical matters. Further, we argue that being a broker in an advice
network exacerbates this false consensus bias. That is, a high level of “betweenness
centrality” increases an individual’s estimates of agreement with others on ethical
issues beyond what is warranted by any actual increase in agreement. We tested these
ideas in three separate samples: graduate business students, executive students, and
employees. Individuals with higher betweenness centrality overestimated the level of
agreement between their ethical judgments and their colleagues’.
For members of organizations, ethical standards
can help guide individual decision making by clar-
ifying what the majority of others believe is appro-
priate. But given that ethical standards often are
tacitly held, rather than explicitly agreed upon
(Haidt, 2001; Turiel, 2002), individuals may strug-
gle to recognize the normative view—what most
others believe is the “right” course of action. Peo-
ple’s tendencies to project their own opinions can
alter their judgments about what others think is
ethical, perhaps giving them a sense of being in the
majority even when they are not. The ramifications
of this false consensus effect may be problematic: if
members of organizations erroneously assume that
their actions are in line with prevailing ethical
principles, they may subsequently learn of their
misjudgment when it is too late to avert the
consequences.
In the present research, we examine whether bro-
kers in a social network show evidence of false
consensus in ethical decision making. Because bro-
kers span structural holes (missing relationships
that inhibit information flow between people [see
Burt, 1992]), one might assume that these individ-
uals possess greater insight into others’ attitudes
and behaviors. But can acting as a broker (i.e., hav-
ing “betweenness”) inform a focal individual about
his or her peers’ ethical views? In interactions with
colleagues, people generally refrain from initiating
moral dialogue; rather, they prefer to discuss less
sensitive attitudes and opinions (Sabini & Silver,
1982). We argue that this tendency to avoid moral
discourse and instead discuss superficial connec-
tions worsens the false consensus bias in ethical
decision making, providing an illusion of consen-
sus where none exists.
The notion that having an advantageous position
in a social network might exacerbate, rather than
mitigate, false consensus bias in ethical decision
making represents a novel insight for those inter-
ested in the link between social networks and in-
dividual judgment. Prior work on identifying the
determinants of false consensus has focused pri-
marily on motivational drivers, such as ego protec.

Foreword
I have never said to myself, “Gee, I think I want to write abook.” I am not a book writer. Until now I haven’t had the
time or the inclination to lean back and reflect on my thirty-five
years in business. I haven’t had the patience it takes to sit down for
a long time and create a book. Throughout my business life I have
been wary of telling others how to manage their enterprises based
on my personal experiences.
And, frankly, I wasn’t sure if anyone would be interested in
reading my thoughts. I read a lot of books, but not many about
business. After a twelve-hour day at the office, who would want to
go home and read about someone else’s career at the office?
I have always believed you cannot run a successful enterprise
from behind a desk. That’s why, during my nine years as Chief Ex-
ecutive Officer of International Business Machines Corporation, I
have flown more than I million miles and met with untold thousands
of IBM customers, business partners, and employees. Over the past
two years, after people began speculating that my retirement might
be just around the corner, I thought I’d get a lot of big-picture
questions that outgoing CEOs get about the economy, the world, and
the future. Instead, I have been surprised by how many times—at
big meetings and small ones, and even at private sessions with CEOs
and heads of state—I was asked: “How did you save IBM?” “What
was it like when you got there?” “What were the problems?” “What

Whom to PromoteOne of the problems, Lael Matthews has had t.docx
Whom to Promote?
One of the problems, Lael Matthews has had to deal with to climb the corporate ladder is the glass ceiling issue for minorities and women. In her current position, she must decide which of three managers to promote. Her superior has informed her that making the wrong decision would not be good, either internally or externally. These are the candidates:
Liz (African American, divorced, one child) graduated in the middle of her college class (Northwest State). She has been with the company for five years and in the industry for eight years, with average performance ratings but a high energy level. She has had some difficulties managing her staff. Her child has had medical problems and so higher pay would be helpful. If promoted, Liz would be the first African American female manager at this level. Lael has only known Liz for a short time, but they seem to have hit it off. In fact, Lael once babysat Liz’s daughter, Janeen, in an emergency. One downside to promoting Lael is the impression that Lael would be playing favorites.
Roy (white, 57, married, three children) graduated from a private university in the top half of his class. Roy has been with the company for twenty years and in the industry for thirty. He has always been a steady performer with mostly average ratings. Roy has been passed over for promotion previously because he refused to relocate but that is no longer a problem (his children are grown). Roy’s energy level is average to low, however he has produced many of the company’s top sales performers in the past. This promotion would be his last before retirement and many in the company feel that he has earned it. In fact, one senior manager stopped Lael in the hall and said, “You know, Lael, Roy has been with us for a long time. He has done many good things for the company, sacrificing not only himself but also his family. I really hope you can see your way to promoting him. It would be a favor to me that I wouldn’t forget.”
Quang Yeh (female, Asian, 28, single) graduated from State University in the top 3% of her class and has been with the company for four years. She is known for putting in 60-hour work weeks and for her meticulous management style which has generated some criticism from her sales staff. The last area she managed showed record sales increases despite the loss of several older accounts that for some reason did not like dealing with Quang. One fact about Quang is that at her previous place of work, she sued that company for discrimination and won. A comment that Lael had heard from that company was that Quang was intense and that nothing would stop her from reaching her goals. As Lael was going through her notes, another upper management individual came to her office and said, “You know, Lael, Quang is engaged to my son. I’ve looked over her personnel files and she looks very good. She looks like a rising star, which would indicate that she should be promoted as quickly as possible. I realize th.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdf
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.

During the early 1930s, when the country was struggling with the beginning of the Great Depression, President Hoover told the people that the economy would soon improve. How could he persist with this message amid the ominous realities of the time?
As a sort of drastic measure in 1932, Hoover was driven to create the Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC), a funding agency from which large industries and financial institutions could obtain investment capital. Though the RFC contributed about $2 billion in investment to the economy, why was the measure largely a failure??

Modern (printed) comics appeared in the 1830s—in the form of Rodolphe Töpffer’s
pioneering work1—which makes them more or less contemporary with the invention
of photography. And yet, it was not until the 1960s that the French language found a
permanent name for this mode of expression—that was, by then, over a hundred years
old. During this long period, comics were known, not as bandes dessinées (literally strips
that have been drawn) but, successively or indiscriminately, as histoires en estampes, which
is Töpffer’s own term (stories told in prints), histoires en images (picture stories), récits
illustrés (illustrated tales), films dessinés (films made of drawings) and of course, comics.

Whos the bossIn a holacracy, there isnt one. It isnt as flak.docx
Who's the boss?
In a holacracy, there isn't one. It isn't as flaky as it sounds--even larger companies like Zappos are kissing hierarchy goodbye
The first thing the advocates of holacracy would like to clear up is that, even though it's a management philosophy about getting rid of managers, this doesn't mean pushing a company into anarchy, or even hippy-dippy Montessori indulgence. Quite the opposite: They suggest holacracy is about companies growing up.
Take Phil Caravaggio, the founder of Precision Nutrition, a 60-person Toronto firm specializing in tailored life coaching. As his firm grew past the point where it could be run informally on the strength of personal relationships, he went looking for a way to structure the company without setting up yet another deadening corporate hierarchy.
His search led him to holacracy, a governance method that emerged from a software firm in Pennsylvania, of all places, over the last decade. Since then, holacracy has racked up a number of big-name adherents, most notably Zappos, the 1,500-employee, Amazon-owned online footwear store, and the chatter has been growing.
"It's a system for giving everyone real clear autonomy without everything devolving into chaos," explains Caravaggio, speaking over sparkling water in a corner of the Soho club in downtown Toronto.
Caravaggio might be said to head up the firm, though this is where things get fuzzy, because in addition to rejecting hierarchy, holacracy also eschews job titles. When pressed, he says he's technically the "lead link of the general company circle"; one senses that he's had a lot of practice explaining this to people.
In a holacracy, the organization is grouped into a series of concentric, autonomous circles--say, a finance circle, a marketing circle that might contain a web-design circle, all within a big circle that represents the company itself.
Every circle has a leader, who does many of the things a traditional boss does, like deciding on priorities and assigning who does what on the team. But no circle's leader is allowed to butt in on the decision-making process of any other circle--even the smaller ones.
The way these circles speak to each other is one of holacracy's hallmarks. In a traditional organization, the team managers typically represent their teams in meetings. But this puts managers in a bind: On one hand, they have to champion their team's interests to the company; on the other, they have to be the ones to impose their superior's decisions on their team--two roles that can be completely at odds. In a holacracy, each circle elects a representative who's not the leader to sit in other circles, report on their team's progress, and express its concerns to the broader company.
In fact, everything about the way a holacracy works is determined by a set of written rules. It's all laid out in a detailed, but surprisingly concise, 30-page constitution: who is allowed to do what, how meetings are run, how decisions get made, and how to mak.

WHO’S WITH ME FALSE CONSENSUS, BROKERAGE, ANDETHICAL DECISI.docx
WHO’S WITH ME? FALSE CONSENSUS, BROKERAGE, AND
ETHICAL DECISION MAKING IN ORGANIZATIONS
FRANCIS J. FLYNN
Stanford University
SCOTT S. WILTERMUTH
University of Southern California
We propose that organization members overestimate the degree to which others share
their views on ethical matters. Further, we argue that being a broker in an advice
network exacerbates this false consensus bias. That is, a high level of “betweenness
centrality” increases an individual’s estimates of agreement with others on ethical
issues beyond what is warranted by any actual increase in agreement. We tested these
ideas in three separate samples: graduate business students, executive students, and
employees. Individuals with higher betweenness centrality overestimated the level of
agreement between their ethical judgments and their colleagues’.
For members of organizations, ethical standards
can help guide individual decision making by clar-
ifying what the majority of others believe is appro-
priate. But given that ethical standards often are
tacitly held, rather than explicitly agreed upon
(Haidt, 2001; Turiel, 2002), individuals may strug-
gle to recognize the normative view—what most
others believe is the “right” course of action. Peo-
ple’s tendencies to project their own opinions can
alter their judgments about what others think is
ethical, perhaps giving them a sense of being in the
majority even when they are not. The ramifications
of this false consensus effect may be problematic: if
members of organizations erroneously assume that
their actions are in line with prevailing ethical
principles, they may subsequently learn of their
misjudgment when it is too late to avert the
consequences.
In the present research, we examine whether bro-
kers in a social network show evidence of false
consensus in ethical decision making. Because bro-
kers span structural holes (missing relationships
that inhibit information flow between people [see
Burt, 1992]), one might assume that these individ-
uals possess greater insight into others’ attitudes
and behaviors. But can acting as a broker (i.e., hav-
ing “betweenness”) inform a focal individual about
his or her peers’ ethical views? In interactions with
colleagues, people generally refrain from initiating
moral dialogue; rather, they prefer to discuss less
sensitive attitudes and opinions (Sabini & Silver,
1982). We argue that this tendency to avoid moral
discourse and instead discuss superficial connec-
tions worsens the false consensus bias in ethical
decision making, providing an illusion of consen-
sus where none exists.
The notion that having an advantageous position
in a social network might exacerbate, rather than
mitigate, false consensus bias in ethical decision
making represents a novel insight for those inter-
ested in the link between social networks and in-
dividual judgment. Prior work on identifying the
determinants of false consensus has focused pri-
marily on motivational drivers, such as ego protec.

ABOUT THE PUBLISHER
Foreword
I have never said to myself, “Gee, I think I want to write abook.” I am not a book writer. Until now I haven’t had the
time or the inclination to lean back and reflect on my thirty-five
years in business. I haven’t had the patience it takes to sit down for
a long time and create a book. Throughout my business life I have
been wary of telling others how to manage their enterprises based
on my personal experiences.
And, frankly, I wasn’t sure if anyone would be interested in
reading my thoughts. I read a lot of books, but not many about
business. After a twelve-hour day at the office, who would want to
go home and read about someone else’s career at the office?
I have always believed you cannot run a successful enterprise
from behind a desk. That’s why, during my nine years as Chief Ex-
ecutive Officer of International Business Machines Corporation, I
have flown more than I million miles and met with untold thousands
of IBM customers, business partners, and employees. Over the past
two years, after people began speculating that my retirement might
be just around the corner, I thought I’d get a lot of big-picture
questions that outgoing CEOs get about the economy, the world, and
the future. Instead, I have been surprised by how many times—at
big meetings and small ones, and even at private sessions with CEOs
and heads of state—I was asked: “How did you save IBM?” “What
was it like when you got there?” “What were the problems?” “What

Whom to PromoteOne of the problems, Lael Matthews has had t.docx
Whom to Promote?
One of the problems, Lael Matthews has had to deal with to climb the corporate ladder is the glass ceiling issue for minorities and women. In her current position, she must decide which of three managers to promote. Her superior has informed her that making the wrong decision would not be good, either internally or externally. These are the candidates:
Liz (African American, divorced, one child) graduated in the middle of her college class (Northwest State). She has been with the company for five years and in the industry for eight years, with average performance ratings but a high energy level. She has had some difficulties managing her staff. Her child has had medical problems and so higher pay would be helpful. If promoted, Liz would be the first African American female manager at this level. Lael has only known Liz for a short time, but they seem to have hit it off. In fact, Lael once babysat Liz’s daughter, Janeen, in an emergency. One downside to promoting Lael is the impression that Lael would be playing favorites.
Roy (white, 57, married, three children) graduated from a private university in the top half of his class. Roy has been with the company for twenty years and in the industry for thirty. He has always been a steady performer with mostly average ratings. Roy has been passed over for promotion previously because he refused to relocate but that is no longer a problem (his children are grown). Roy’s energy level is average to low, however he has produced many of the company’s top sales performers in the past. This promotion would be his last before retirement and many in the company feel that he has earned it. In fact, one senior manager stopped Lael in the hall and said, “You know, Lael, Roy has been with us for a long time. He has done many good things for the company, sacrificing not only himself but also his family. I really hope you can see your way to promoting him. It would be a favor to me that I wouldn’t forget.”
Quang Yeh (female, Asian, 28, single) graduated from State University in the top 3% of her class and has been with the company for four years. She is known for putting in 60-hour work weeks and for her meticulous management style which has generated some criticism from her sales staff. The last area she managed showed record sales increases despite the loss of several older accounts that for some reason did not like dealing with Quang. One fact about Quang is that at her previous place of work, she sued that company for discrimination and won. A comment that Lael had heard from that company was that Quang was intense and that nothing would stop her from reaching her goals. As Lael was going through her notes, another upper management individual came to her office and said, “You know, Lael, Quang is engaged to my son. I’ve looked over her personnel files and she looks very good. She looks like a rising star, which would indicate that she should be promoted as quickly as possible. I realize th.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdf
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 ...
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.
