The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.
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”.

1. Ethical Issues in
Guidance and
Counseling
Unit Six: Ethics and Scientific Issues
Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 1
2. What is Ethics?
• The basic
concepts and
fundamental
principles of
decent human
conduct.
Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 2
3. Ethics cont.
• It includes study of universal values such as
the essential equality of all men and women,
human or natural rights, obedience to the law
of land, concern for health and safety and,
increasingly, also for the natural environment.
Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 3
4. What is Science?
• Science is the concerted human
effort to understand, or to
understand better, the history of
the natural world and how the
natural world works, with
observable physical evidence as the
basis of that understanding.
Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 4
5. Science
• It is done through
observation of
natural phenomena,
and/or through
experimentation that
tries to simulate
natural processes
under controlled
conditions.Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 5
6. What are Issues?
• A point or matter of discussion,
debate, or dispute: What legal and
moral issues should we consider?
• A matter of public concern:
debated economic issues.
• A misgiving, objection, or
complaint: had issues with the plan
to change the curriculum.
• A problem.Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 6
7. What are Medical Issues?
• The field of ethics studies principles of right and
wrong. There is hardly an area in medicine that
doesn't have an ethical aspect. For example, there are
ethical issues relating to:
• End of life care: Should a patient receive nutrition?
What about advance directives and resuscitation
orders?
• Abortion: When does life begin? Is it ethical to
terminate a pregnancy with a birth defect?
Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 7
8. • Genetic and prenatal testing: What happens if you are a
carrier of a defect? What if testing shows that your unborn
baby has a defect?
• Birth control: Should it be available to minors?
• Is it ethical to harvest embryonic stem cells to treat diseases?
Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 8
9. Medical Issues cont.
• Organ donation: Must a relative donate an organ to a
sick relative?
• Your personal health information: who has access to
your records?
• Patient rights: Do you have the right to refuse
treatment?
• When you talk with your doctor, is it ethical for her to
withhold information from you or your family?Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 9
10. Bio-ethics
• Bioethics is the study of
the typically controversial
ethical issues emerging
from new situations and
possibilities brought
about by advances in
biology and medicine.
Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 10
11. Bio-ethics cont.
• It is also moral discernment as it relates to medical
policy, practice, and research. Bioethicists are
concerned with the ethical questions that arise in the
relationships among life sciences, biotechnology,
medicine, politics, law, and philosophy. It also
includes the study of the more commonplace
questions of values ("the ethics of the ordinary")
which arise in primary care and other branches.
Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 11
12. Medical ethics and Bio-ethics
• Medical ethics tends to be
understood narrowly as an
applied professional ethics,
whereas bioethics appears to
have worked more expansive
concerns, touching upon the
philosophy of science and
issues of biotechnology.
Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 12
13. Medical and Bio ethics cont.
• Still, the two fields often overlap and the distinction
is more a matter of style than professional
consensus. Medical ethics shares many principles
with other branches of healthcare ethics, such as
nursing ethics. A bioethicist assists the health care
and research community in examining moral issues
involved in our understanding of life and death, and
resolving ethical dilemmas in medicine and science.
Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 13
14. What do they have to do with
counseling?
• The integration of health care services has created a
new ethical landscape for all parties, including the
counselor who participates in the health care system.
Ethical, political, and social norms create a new
complexity within the environment for counseling
practice. Counselors who work in a health care
setting are expected to operate within the prevailing
biomedical model.
Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 14
15. Counseling
• Bioethical areas that are influential in the lives of counseling clients:
• Genetics
• Abortion
• HIV/AIDS
• Euthanasia
• Cancer
• Fertility
• Alternative
medicine
Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 15
16. Fertility Issues
• Fertility is the ability to reproduce; men who
are fertile are able to father children and
fertile women are able to get pregnant and
carry their baby to full term, with a live birth
nine months after conception. This all
happens naturally as a result of sexual
intercourse.
Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 16
17. Fertility Issues
• You may have
fertility problems
if you haven't
been able to get
pregnant after
trying for at least
1 year.
Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 17
18. Genetic Engineering
• Genetic engineering is the process of using
technology to change the genetic makeup of
an organism - be it an animal, plant or a
bacterium. The goal is to add one or more
new traits that are not already found in that
organism.
Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 18
19. Genetic engineering questions
• Does the search for a cure for specific disabilities for
individuals who
may be diagnosed
in the future
have a negative
impact on those
currently living
with a disability?Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 19
20. Genetic question for Counselors
• What is “normal” an what constitutes a disability, and
who is to make this decision?
• What are diseases, or disabilities, and should they be
prevented or cured?
• How can we meet the financial needs of individuals
who desire gene therapy, which is beyond that many
individuals can afford?
• Who should obtain these services and at what cost?
Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 20
21. Abortion
• Counselors who work in a variety of
environments, including school,
rehabilitation, and marriage and family
practice settings, may be confronted with the
issue of abortion. Abortion is a value-laden
issue in society at large and also within the
counseling setting. Without a massive shift in
public opinion, abortion will remain one of
the most divisive health care policy issues.Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 21
23. Abortion Cont.
• Because of the value-laden and emotional nature of the
abortion issue, counselors must examine their own
values and understand their clients’ value systems. They
must carefully analyze all relevant empirical research to
ensure that all involved parties in the debate
appropriately characterize the scientific knowledge base.
They should encourage health care policy and
institutional policy that are based upon evidence rather
than assumption alone.Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 23
24. Euthanasia
• Euthanasia (from Greek: εὐθανασία; "good death": εὖ,
eu; "well" or "good" – θάνατος, thanatos; "death") is the
practice of intentionally ending a life in order to relieve
pain and suffering.
• There are different euthanasia laws in each country. The
British House of Lords Select Committee on Medical
Ethics defines euthanasia as "a deliberate intervention
undertaken with the express intention of ending a life, to
relieve intractable suffering". In the Netherlands and
Flanders, euthanasia is understood as "termination of life
by a doctor at the request of a patient".
Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 24
25. Euthanasia: Think about this
Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 25
26. Ethics in Euthanasia
• Physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia are
distinguished and discussed in the context of the
counselor's role in helping terminal clients. An aging
population coupled with the proposed legislation in
many states to legalize physician assisted suicide
could mean these issues will become more
paramount to the counseling profession. Potential
ethical dilemmas are discussed using the bio-
psychosocial model, five pillars of ethics, and an
existing health-care model as guidance.
Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 26
27. Terms used with Euthanasia
• Hastened death
• Passive Euthanasia
• Active Euthanasia
• Double Effect
• Living will
• DPA: Dual Power of Attorney for heath care
Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 27
28. Elements of Ethical Procedural
Safeguards for Euthanasia
1. Requests should be made by a competent person on
several occasions and in writing.
2. A through examination should be made to rule out or
treat any prevailing psychological condition.
3. The act of assistance should be restricted to certified
physicians who will receive compensation for their
work.
4. Careful documentation with reference to alternative
treatments should be offered to the person.
5. All cases should be reported to an official body.
Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 28
29. Counseling Implication for
Euthanasia.
1. Keep current on developing legal, social, and
ethical information related to euthanasia.
2. Determine what culturally influenced moral
theory, personal biases, and persona perspectives
guide tour practice. Clarify personal beliefs and
values.
3. Become adept at the skill of self-reflection. Assess
your decision making process, understand it, and
use it to deal consistently with issues.
Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 29
30. Implication cont.
1. Examine, understand, and reconcile institutional
protocols, legal precedent, and liabilities.
2. Obtain differing professional perspectives.
3. Be knowledgeable about the potential course,
prognosis, and all treatment alternatives related to

Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 31
32. Counseling persons with STI (Aids)
The HIV/AIDS epidemic has presented
counselors with new ethical decision-making
dilemmas. This uncharted territory has required
counselors to carefully examine and consider
prudent action on resolved ethical issues. Legal
and professional norms of practice have
remained difficult to negotiate.
Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 32
33. STI’s Counseling
• As counselors struggles to resolve these emerging ethical
issues; they must have a working knowledge
of the basic issues
related to working
with individuals
with touched by
HIV/AIDS and
other STIs
Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 33
34. Limitation of Confidentiality
• Counselor who receive information from clients who
may have a communicable disease known to be fatal
must disclose information to relevant third parties if,
and only if, the counselors have reason to believe
that:
a) there is medical evidence.
b) The client bears specific relation eg. Sex
c) The client have not or plan to inform third party.
Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 34
35. Limitation cont.
• In cases wherein the above conditions are met,
counselors’ general obligation to third parties is
defined by:
Within the counseling context, before disclosure,
counselors make all reasonable efforts to educate the
clients about the disease and to provide the clients
with the support, understanding, encouragement, and
opportunity to disclose the information to third
parties on their own.
Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 35
36. Limitation cont.
The counselor must make third party disclosure in a timely
fashion.
Before disclosure, counselors must inform clients of their
intention.
Counselors must disclose information only to the parties at risk

37. Counselor Implications
• Become familiar and continually update medical
information regarding HIV & STI
• Be familiar with short and long-term issues that may arise.
• Be aware of one’s own attitudes, biases, and prejudices as
they relate to individuals with HIV.
• Seek to inform and encourage all clients in high risk
groups to consider safe methods of having sex and using
drugs.
Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 37
38. Implications cont.
• Be prepared to refer clients to legal resources if
warranted to protect their right to nondiscrimination.

communicable diseases.
• Articulate early in the therapeutic relationship the
limitations of confidentiality, including the possible
use of written formats to facilitate the informed
consent process.
Tanecia Stevens BA G&C International University of the Caribbean 38
39. Implications cont
