The document discusses how a media product, a rock music magazine called Uprising, represents various social groups. The magazine aims to represent people of different ages, genders, races, social classes and musical tastes by featuring a variety of rock bands - both male and female-fronted, from different genres and subgenres. Images in the magazine, such as the cover featuring an all-female rock band and a double-page feature on the all-female band Utopia, aim to represent women and show that gender does not limit musical success. The magazine's pricing, fonts, and inclusion of social media links help represent different social classes and appeal to multiple groups.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
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.

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

How does your media product represent particular social groups?
1. How does your media product
represent particular social groups?
By Janet Bargmann
2. The word “representation” shows the way in which
someone or something has been portrayed.
In media terms, it would be the way in which the
object or the text is approached by the creators and
how it is put across to the audience and how they
view it.
“Representation”
3. For example, my front
cover shows the main
image of an all-girl-rock-
band, as well as cover
lines which mention
bands like
Paramore, Biffy Clyro and
You Me at Six. These
bands are well known to
the public, and are very
popular in the world of
rock music so I thought
that it would entice the
readers to see what else
Uprising has to offer.
My pricing is £2.40, and
$4.00, which represents
different classes- the
magazine isn’t too
expensive, so people
aren’t limited by their
social class.
The UK and America are
also multi-cultural, and I
think it is important
especially today, to be
respectful and
considerate of all races.
In the main
image, the girls are
wearing black and
white clothing, and
nothing that is
very exposing or
provocative. I did
this because I
wanted to show
that it’s all about
the music and they
represent
people, particularly
women, who use
their looks to sell
their product. It
makes them role
models, especially
for young women
and teenagers.
The variety in fonts helps to show the different genres I am
representing in my magazine.
4. Personally, I think it would be a successful
magazine as it would appeal to more than one type
of social group. I also have included a
Facebook/Twitter link at the bottom, as social
media is a very popular way for media to be
advertised to many social groups online.
In my contents page, I have included an even
bigger variety of bands- some include Alter
Bridge, Shinedown and Halestorm, who produce
music that is hard rock.
As I wanted it to appeal to a wide range of
people, and both genders, I wanted to have
female fronted bands (like Paramore and
Utopia) as well as all-male bands.
I know that people like more than one
band so I tried to include many of the sub-
genres in rock because I like to read
magazines that aren’t always based
around the same bands.
The colour scheme is mainly black and yellow, which could connote
something to beware of. On the other hand, I think the two colours
together make the magazine neutral- neither for men nor women
specifically.
The image of myself as the editor makes it a bit more
personal, and the audience can see who it is that has
created this magazine. I thought by pulling a face, it
could come across as humorous and easy-going, and not
the stereotypical rock fan.
The photo of Jared Leto entices the reader, as it shows a
world famous star and lets the readers connect with other
fans through their images of live gigs.
5. My double page
spread is based
around
Utopia, an all-
female rock band.
I think that this
can represent
social
groups, because
many people
relate rock music
to being more
masculine and
they make the
presumption that
women can’t
necessarily be
rock stars.
Even though there are bands such as Halestorm and Paramore who are fronted by women,
and bands like Neon Trees and the White Stripes who have a female drummer, there aren’t
very many bands who are all-female and I think that rock is known for being rebellious and
going against the social norm. With this in mind, I thought that having Utopia would be good
because I know that there are many rock fans who understand that it’s good to be different
and to stand out and an all-female rock band can be just as successful as an all-male band.
Having the “most successful female band… of all time” implies
that this genre has been quite male dominated in the past.
The quote “we’re gonna take the world by storm!”
suggests that they are on a road to success and it makes
the reader think that anything can be possible.
The “Quick
Questions” makes
the reader more
involved, and by
including their
inspirations, can
make the reader
feel they have
something in
common with the
band if they like the
same genres. By
giving advice, it can
make young readers
have self belief.
Having images of
the band in a
recording session
represents how
they are true to
their music. There
are also comments
on each
photo, generally
quite funny which
is a convention of
some rock
magazines such as
KERRANG!
6. I don't want to stereotype certain genres within my
magazine so it appeals more for certain social groups
than others, because there are young people who are in
their early teens who like listening heavy metal as well
as indie or alternative rock, so that is why I have tried to
include a variety of sub-genres to make this a magazine
for more than one group of people. I think this could be
a way for people of different ages and backgrounds to
have something in common with each other.
