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.
2. How to start a conversation in
English?
Whether you’re speaking with someone face-to-face,
through Skype, or over the phone, greetings are an
essential part of getting your English conversation
started.
You will only need to learn a few common greetings,
but the words you use will vary based on the situation.
For example, in a job interview, you should use a
formal greeting, but when you meet a friend for
coffee, you’ll likely say something informal.
4. What Is A
Greeting?
A greeting is simply a way of saying hello to
someone.
In the English language, there are multiple
ways in which this can be done. There are
greetings which can be used in formal
situations and also greetings which are used in
a more friendly, informal setting.
It is very important to be able to select an
appropriate greeting for every situation. We
will be looking at this a little more closely in
the next section.
5. Formal Greetings
When meeting someone under formal
circumstances such as in a business meeting
or meeting an important person for the first
time, you might use some of these more
formal greetings.
6. Good morning/afternoon/evening/day
These formal greetings are used
as a replacement for the word
‘hello’ and are often used in a
formal setting depending on the
time of day.
• Usually, before 12 pm, you say
‘good morning,’
• after 12 pm you say ‘good
afternoon‘
• and from around 6 pm you
say ‘good evening.’
• You can use the term ‘good
day’ at any point during the
morning or afternoon.
7. How do you do?
This is quite an old-
fashioned greeting, but it
is still widely used in very
formal situations.
You are likely to hear a
reply such as ‘very well,
thank you’ when asking
this question.
8. Pleased to meet you
This is a greeting which is often
used when meeting someone for
the first time.
It is common in formal
circumstances but may also be used
in a less formal situation on a first
meeting.
9. How are you
doing?
This is a polite way of asking how
someone is and is often used in
conjunction with words like ‘hello’
or ‘good
morning/afternoon/evening’ etc.
10. Informal Greetings
There are many more
informal greetings in English
than there are formal ones.
We are now going to take a
look at some informal
greetings which you can use
with English speaking
friends, family or anyone
else that you are familiar
with.
11. Hi
This word, which is
another word for
‘hello‘ is probably one
of the most commonly
used greetings in the
English language and
something you will
hear very frequently.
13. How’s it going?
This is an informal way to ask someone how
they are and is used often in place of ‘hello.’
14. ‘Sup/ Yo
‘Sup is more common in the USA, this greeting is a
slang term meaning ‘what’s up?’ Many people will
use the term ‘what’s up’ but often it is shortened to
‘sup.
Yo is another one which is more common in the
USA, and is simply another way to say ‘hey, what’s
up?’
15. Long time no
see
This greeting is usually used when
bumping into a person who you have not
seen for a long time.
16. Going beyond Hello…
All of the words and phrases above are
simply variations of “hello.” But what
comes next?
This is when an English conversation
moves to polite questions or
introductions, depending on the
situation. Let’s look at a few polite
ways to move forward:
17. Introductions
• My name is ______. (introducing yourself)
• This is ______. (introducing someone else)
18. Polite Questions
• How are you?
• How are you doing?
• How have you been?
• How’s your day going so far?
• How’s it going?
• How are things?
Note that the person speaking with you will
probably ask you one or more of those
questions. This means that you should also
know how to answer them. Here are a few
possible answers:
19. Polite Answers
• I’m great or I’m fine
• I’m doing well
• I’ve been doing very well
• My day has been pretty good so far
• Not too bad
• Things are really good
You can also add “thanks for asking”
at the end of any of these phrases to
make them a little friendlier!
20. How to Make Small Talk
in English?
“Small talk” is just a polite
exchange used to:
• pass the time;
• share non-essential information,
or;
• learn more about the other
person;
• It’s also a great form of English
conversation practice.
21. How to Make Small
Talk in English?
This kind of communication can span a wide
range of topics, from weather to sleep
habits.
Small talk often begins naturally with
questions like, “How are you?” From there,
it can expand to cover greater detail and
more topics.
