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.
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.

In what ways does you media
product use, develop or challenge
conventions of real media
products?
2. Below are some of the forms of Psychological
Thrillers:
Deconstructive Music
Close Ups
Fast Pace Editing
POV
3. Below are some conventions in Psychological
Thrillers:
Setting
Flashbacks
Implicit Narrative
4. FORMS
One form we used in our opening sequence
was close ups, used to show characters facial
expressions. For example, the confused faces
of the victims when they have seen the
character OJO. This is similar to the film
SAW - which shows close up of the victims.
5. FORM
Another form used in our opening sequence, is
Fast Pace Editing. This is commonly used in
psychological thrillers, this builds tension and
intrigues the audience. This is used at the end of
our Opening Sequence as Victim 1 is tied up. As the
pace fastens, so does the music. The pair are
parallel.
6. CONVENTION
Setting is a convention which we used.
The locations, such as the alley way is a
typical place that is included with in
psychological thrillers, this is due to
them being dark, lonely, mysterious
places.
7. CONEVENTION
Another convention we used was implicit
narrative. This is common with in
psychological thrillers as they want to create
enigmas. An enigma code which we used
was when victim 2 picks up the sketch book,
leaving the audience not know what happens
next.
8. CONVENTION
Flashbacks are also a convention that is
used. As all that is going on is not in present
day. This is clearly demonstrated when there
are insert shots of a victim being tied up.
The alley way and park scenes are from the
past.
9. FORM
POINT OF VIEW was used when OJO walks
past victim 1. This shows victim 1's facial
expression, which is similar to audience
reactions as they want to know why OJO is
like that also.
10. CHALLENGED
In our opening sequence we challenged
the nature of the character which has
psychological issue. The character OJO
is not the typical villain, who remains
inside, secluded from society. As this
character is outside a lot, in order to get
victims.
11. CHALLENGED
Our media product also challenges the age
and gender of the typical villainous
character. Instead of having a character who
is male, we wanted to have a young female
character. This is as psychological issues can
impact anyone.
