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.

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

2. Parts of an Essay
• Introduction
• Supporting Paragraphs
• Summary Paragraph
3. Introduction Paragraph
• What is an introduction paragraph?
The introduction paragraph is the first paragraph of your essay.
• What does it do?
It introduces the main idea of your essay. A good opening paragraph captures the
interest of your reader and tells why your topic is important.
• How do I write one?
• 1. Write the thesis statement. The main idea of the essay is stated in a single
sentence called the thesis statement. You must limit your entire essay to the topic
you have introduced in your thesis statement.
2. Provide some background information about your topic. You can use interesting
facts, quotations, or definitions of important terms you will use later in the essay.
• Example:
Hockey has been a part of life in Canada for over 120 years. It has evolved into an
extremely popular sport watched and played by millions of Canadians. The game
has gone through several changes since hockey was first played in Canada.
4. Supporting Paragraphs
What are supporting paragraphs?
Supporting paragraphs make up the main body of your essay.
What do they do?
They develop the main idea of your essay.
How do I write them?
1. List the points that develop the main idea of your essay.
2. Place each supporting point in its own paragraph.
3. Develop each supporting point with facts, details, and examples.
To connect your supporting paragraphs, you should use special transition words. Transition
words link your paragraphs together and make your essay easier to read. Use them at the
beginning and end of your paragraphs.
Examples of transition words that can help you to link your paragraphs together:
For listing different points First Second Third
For counter examples However Even though On the other hand Nevertheless
For additional ideas Another In addition to Related to Furthermore Also
To show cause and effect Therefore Thus As a result of Consequently
Like all good paragraphs, each supporting paragraph should have a topic sentence,
supporting sentences, and a summary sentence.
5. Summary Paragraph
• What is a summary paragraph?
The summary paragraph comes at the end of your essay after you have
finished developing your ideas. The summary paragraph is often called a
"conclusion."
• What does it do?
It summarizes or restates the main idea of the essay. You want to leave the
reader with a sense that your essay is complete.
• How do I write one?
1. Restate the strongest points of your essay that support your main idea.
2. Conclude your essay by restating the main idea in different words.
3. Give your personal opinion or suggest a plan for action.
Example:
Overall, the changes that occurred in hockey have helped to improve the
game. Hockey is faster and more exciting as a result of changes in the past
120 years. For these reasons, modern hockey is a better game than hockey
in the 1890s.
6. Six Prewriting Steps:
• Think carefully about what you are going to write. Ask yourself: What question am I going to answer in
this paragraph or essay? How can I best answer this question? What is the most important part of my
answer? How can I make an introductory sentence (or thesis statement) from the most important part of
my answer? What facts or ideas can I use to support my introductory sentence? How can I make this
paragraph or essay interesting? Do I need more facts on this topic? Where can I find more facts on this
topic?
• Open your notebook. Write out your answers to the above questions. You do not need to spend a lot of
time doing this; just write enough to help you remember why and how you are going to write your
paragraph or essay.
• Collect facts related to your paragraph or essay topic. Look for and write down facts that will help you to
answer your question. Timesaving hint: make sure the facts you are writing are related to the exact
question you are going to answer in your paragraph or essay.
• Write down your own ideas. Ask yourself: What else do I want to say about this topic? Why should people
be interested in this topic? Why is this topic important?
• Find the main idea of your paragraph or essay. Choose the most important point you are going to present.
If you cannot decide which point is the most important, just choose one point and stick to it throughout
your paragraph or essay.
• Organize your facts and ideas in a way that develops your main idea. Once you have chosen the most
important point of your paragraph or essay, you must find the best way to tell your reader about it. Look at
the facts you have written. Look at your own ideas on the topic. Decide which facts and ideas will best
support the main idea of your essay. Once you have chosen the facts and ideas you plan to use, ask
yourself which order to put them in the essay. Write down your own note set that you can use to guide
yourself as you write your essay.
7. • What is the writing stage?
The writing stage is when you turn your ideas into
sentences.
• Five Writing Steps:
1. For the introduction, write the thesis statement and
give some background information.
2. Develop each supporting paragraph and make sure
to follow the correct paragraph format.
3. Write clear and simple sentences to express your
meaning.
4. Focus on the main idea of your essay.
5. Use a dictionary to help you find additional words to
express your meaning
8. • What is the editing stage?
The editing stage is when you check your essay for mistakes and correct
them. Editing Steps:
• Grammar and Spelling
1. Check your spelling.
2. Check your grammar.
3. Read your essay again.
4. Make sure each sentence has a subject.
5. Make sure your subjects and verbs agree with each other.
6. Check the verb tenses of each sentence.
7. Make sure that each sentence makes sense.
• Style and Organization
1. Make sure your essay has an introduction, supporting paragraphs, and a
summary paragraph.
2. Check that you have a thesis statement that identifies the main idea of
the essay.
3. Check that all your paragraphs follow the proper paragraph format.
4. See if your essay is interesting.
9. Kinds of Essays
• Definition Classification
• Description
• Compare and Contrast
• Sequence Choice
• Explanation
• Evaluation
10. Definition Essay
• When you are writing a definition essay, you take a term or
an idea and write about what it is. Often, definitions are
combined with classification or other forms of organization
in the essay. You need to give a careful definition of the key
term before going on to discuss different types or
examples. Example question: Write an essay defining
energy resources and discuss the different types.
Introduction: Define the key term energy resources.
• Supporting paragraphs:
1. Define one type of energy resources: renewable
resources.
2. 2. Define another type of energy resources: non-
renewable resources.
• Summary paragraph: Summarize energy resources.
11. Classification Essay
• In a classification essay, you separate things or ideas into
specific categories and discuss each of them. You organize
the essay by defining each classification and by giving
examples of each type.
• Example question: Write an essay discussing the three
types of government in Canada.
Introduction: Give background information about
government in Canada. Supporting paragraphs: 1. Define
and describe federal government. 2. Define and describe
provincial governments. 3. Define and describe municipal
governments.
Summary paragraph: Summarize government in Canada.
12. Description Essay
In a description essay, you write about what a
person,place, or thing is like. You organize the essay by
describing different parts or aspects of the main
subject. Example question: Write an essay describing
the polar bear.
Introduction: Introduce what a polar bear is.
Supporting paragraphs: 1. Describe where the polar
bear lives. 2. Describe the body of the polar bear. 3.
Describe what the polar eats.
Summary paragraph: Summarize what a polar bear is.
13. Compare and Contrast Essay
• In a compare and contrast essay, you write about the similarities
and differences between two or more people, places, or things. You
can organize the essay by writing about one subject first and then
comparing it with the second subject. A more effective way is to
organize the essay by comparing each subject by category.
• Example: Write an essay comparing the weather in Vancouver and
Halifax.
Introduction: Introduce weather in the cities of Vancouver and
Halifax.
Supporting paragraphs: 1. Compare weather in spring and summer
for both cities. State how they are similar or different. 2. Compare
weather in fall and winter for both cities. State how they are similar
or different.
Summary paragraph: Summarize the similarities and differences.
14. Sequence Essay
• In a sequence essay, you are writing to describe a
series of events or a process in some sort of order.
Usually, this order is based on time. You organize the
essay by writing about each step of the process in the
order it occurred.
• Example question: Write an essay outlining the stages
of the salmon life cycle. Introduction: Describe what a
salmon is like. Supporting paragraphs: 1. Describe
young salmon. 2. Describe adult salmon. 3. Describe
what salmon do before they die. Summary paragraph:
Summarize the main steps of the salmon life cycle.
15. Choice Essay
In a choice essay, you need to choose which
object, idea, or action that you prefer. You
organize the essay by describing each option and
then giving your opinion. Example question:
Write an essay choosing between hockey in the
1890s and hockey today. Introduction: Introduce
the game of hockey. Supporting paragraphs: 1.
Describe hockey in the 1890s. 2. Describe hockey
today. 3. State which form of hockey you prefer
and why. Summary paragraph: Summarize the
game of hockey.
16. Explanation Essay
• In an explanation essay, you explain how or why
something happens or has happened. You need to
explain different causes and effects. You should
organize the essay by explaining each individual cause
or effect.
• Example question: Write an essay explaining why so
many Europeans moved to Canada during the early
nineteenth century. Introduction: Give background
information on European immigration during this time.
Supporting paragraphs: 1. Explain first reason: poor
economy in Europe. 2. Explain second reason: better
living conditions in Canada. Summary paragraph:
Summarize main reasons.
17. Evaluation Essay
• In an evaluation essay, you make judgments about
people, ideas, and possible actions. You make your
evaluation based on certain criteria that you develop.
Organize the essay by discussing the criteria you used to
make your judgment.
• Example question: Write an essay evaluating the
importance of the House of Commons. Introduction: Give
your judgment on whether the House of Commons is
important. Supporting paragraphs: 1. Explain first criteria:
meeting place for government
2. Explain second criteria: represent Canadians
3. Explain third criteria: make laws for Canada Summary
paragraph: Conclude with an overall judgment about the
House of Commons
