The document discusses how the media product represents certain social groups. Specifically:
- It uses a blonde female as the main victim, following the horror genre convention of the "stupid" blonde girl stereotype who walks into danger. However, it subverts expectations by having her seemingly escape the killer only to be killed later via a jump scare.
- It avoids the stereotype of having a normal male lead that survives, instead keeping the group small. But it follows the convention of someone going off alone to increase tension.
- It uses a teenage actress for the victim, as teenagers are seen as troublemakers who go where they shouldn't, making the victim's actions seem deliberate and relatable to teenage audiences

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”.

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. FEMALES
While looking over the groups opening sequence I have noticed that we have followed
many conventions of the horror genre. For example we have used a white blonde girl as
the main victim, we had done this because many blonde girls follow the stereotype of
being ‘stupid’ or ‘a typical rich girl who is portrayed as being a model’ so it is following
the convention of using the blonde girl stereotype of walking into a dangerous situation
is a very obvious thing to do when filming. We also did this because we needed a
stereotypical character that would be expected to be killed first, however while filming
we put a twist on the plot as the audience thought she had gotten away from the killer
however at the end is then killed via a jump scare
3. EXTRAS / GROUPS
• We have also avoided the stereotypical convention of having a group of people in the
horror film with a normal male lead that does not get killed and gets away instead we
have kept I short, however we have used the horror convention of having someone go
off on their own as this then makes the plot of the opening better and much more
tense for the audience as this is what gets a better response
4. TEENAGERS
• I also have noticed that we are using a teenaged actress to portray the victim as
teenagers are known as the trouble makers and also are known for going where they
shouldn’t, so as a group we have made it look deliberate that she has gone
somewhere on her own to do something that she might not normally do. This then
would benefit more to teenagers as they can then then relate to what the teenaged
girl is doing
