This document is a sample personal reflections essay on a nutrition class. It discusses three topics the author found most interesting from the class: taste, culture, and emotions. For taste, the author enjoys fast food due to factors like accessibility and satisfaction of cravings. Culturally, the author's diet is influenced by Cuban foods from their grandmother. Emotionally, people eat more or less depending on their mood, like the author's grandmother eating more when sad or angry. The class helped the author learn about making healthy choices and reading nutrition labels. It will benefit their future nursing career by providing nutritional knowledge and advice.
Most of us have all known someone in our lives that has sparked our concern over their well being. The friend that was going through a stressful time and her weight plummeted over the months, the girl at the gym who looks dangerously thin - while often this is a temporary state of being, for some coming back from the brink can be more difficult.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

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.

1. Sample Essay on Race as Social Construct
globalcompose.com/social-work-and-human-services/sample-essay-on-race-as-social-construct/
Race is a concept used more often to signify classification of people based on their human
physiognomy. Whereas there have been many attempts to offer biological basis for such
classification, sociologist show that the truth of the race lies in the characteristics of skin
color and other appearances. Sociologists argue that race is not concrete or fixed aspect of
human bodies but rather an illusion that keeps changing due to interactions and
relationship between people. In the contemporary view race is a variable shaped by
societal values, hence the meaning of race differs from society to the other and over time.
Sociologist and racial theorists Omi and Winant give an explanation of race that
places it in the social, political and historical contexts. For example, in the United States
America politics is said to play a key role in defining race by virtue of political contestation
and voting. A post-election study conducted indicate that 70% of American voters had race
considerations in the Election of president Barrack Obama. They explicitly explain that race
is directly linked to the social and political struggles emanating from competing groups. In
the British politics, the term black basically is used to refer to all non-whites (Omi and
Winant 3). But in non-political contexts young Asians and Afro-Caribbean people adopt the
term as an expression of identity.
Historically, race is defined by many through the political struggles lens and how
such definition has kept shifting over time. For example in the founding of the nation blacks
were perceived to be brute, dangerous and out of control who ought to be monitored for
their own sake and that of those around them (Chaney and Robertson 12). Such definition
was to the benefit of the business owners to justify enslavement and therefore benefit from
the cheap labor of the slaves.
Racial categorization is a function of social, political and economic forces and how
these determinants are shaped by races. The manner in which we understand races
depends on the preconceived ideas. From the TED talks (Raising a black boy in America)
the speaker explains how his dad knew their security was in danger as they were
considered to be a security threat even when they were just being boys. In the US, the
racial etiquette is a set of perceptions on self-distinction of status and appropriate mode of
conduct associated with dominant group. Melody Hobson’s mother believed that her
daughter would be treated in a different way just by being among a dominant group and by
being of a different group. Some of this etiquette vary from group to group as everybody
learns the rules of racial stratification often without teaching, and therefore in this case race
becomes common sense.
The differences in skin color has played a great role in racial categorization, as the
skin color offers an armature way of explaining the preconceived differences underneath in
terms of temperaments, intellect, athletic ability and aesthetic preference hence leading to
the distinct treatment of the racially identified groups (Omi and Winant 5). As such the

2. continued existence of such racial ideologies show that racial myths can’t be exposed in
popular imagination. Stereotypes and racial profiling seem to be permanent just to the
existing social order for instance in the U.S.
The media plays a big role in how we understand and view issues. The industry’s
through continued coverage of only negative things from the black people makes even the
black people never associate success to their fellow black. As Mellody Hobson indicates
from the TED talks, most people would like to associate with the white than the black
(Hobson n.pag).
In conclusion, races do not emerge from nowhere, they are stereotypes and
ideologies shaped as a result of diverse historical practices. These ideologies are subject to
challenge over their truthfulness, definition and meaning.
How Social Constructs Impact on Privilege and Power.
Power most often is a result of political dispensation. Politics and the results of an election
are largely determined by racial preferences, as those belonging to the dominant group
clinch power. From the talks, Melody Hobson explains how in most boards of directors the
blacks were of the smallest percentage or none at all. It could not raise eyebrows finding
board room full of whites; that would be implausible in the case of blacks.
With regard to jobs and employment the blacks are considered to lack the intellect
to run big corporates this again brings out the possibility of these race securing job
opportunities with decent positions and salaries. When Melody accompanied a friend to a
media house they could not be expected to be nothing other than worker in junior position
hence supposed to be in uniforms.
Racial categorization complicates the ease with which some groups access
privileges. For instance the black young people do not have freedom of moving around
freely as indicated by the speaker Clint Smith. Some find it very difficult to find housing for
their families, James White Sr. demonstrates how he went for long distance just to find a
house. A study conducted on neighborhood coexistence, showed that a big percentage of
whites did not have or encourage to live with blacks as neighbors, as there are some towns
that are purely of white residents. This is demonstrated by Rich Benjamin in his road trips
to various areas.
