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.

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 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.

2. Introduction
• Politics is essentially an ancient and universal experience.
• The art and science of political analysis have developed over several years
ago throughout many parts of the world.
• In particular, political analysis has thrived in all cultures that have inherited
the rich legacy of the ancient people like ancient Greeks, Romans and the
Indians.
• Like many other arts and sciences political analysis achieved an
extraordinary degree of sophistication among the Greeks some 25
centuries ago under the leadership of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle.
3. Meaning of political parties
• According to MacIver, “A political party is an association organized in
support of some principle or policy which by constitutional means it
endeavours to make the determinant of government”.
• According to Ian Robertson, “Political parties are collectivities of
people organized for the specific purpose of joining legitimate control
of government”.
4. Classification of Political system
• Thinkers distinguish between different kinds of political system.
• T.B. Bottomore makes a distinction between three kinds of political system.
• Political system of tribal societies which are slowly getting modernized and industrialized. Ex:
African societies.
• Political system in non-industrial countries of ancient civilizations which are being
industrialized after emancipation from colonial and autocratic rule. Ex: countries of Asia,
Middle East, some Latin American countries.
• Political systems of the industrial societies. Here two major types of political systems can be
witnessed.
• The Democratic-Capitalist or Democratic-Socialist
• The Communist-Totalitarian including other kinds of totalitarianism.
• The other classification of political system - Kingship (Monarchy), Dictatorship
(rule by one), Oligarchy (rule by a few) and Demography (rule by many).
5. Essentials of political parties
• A group of people to constitute a political party, must be organized
for a political purpose.
• There should be similarity of principles heling to unite people.
• The political parties should have the main aim of attaining political
power.
• The political parties which are found within the framework of the
national boundaries are expected to protect and promote the
national interests.

7. List Of Hindi Movies Based On Indian Politics &
Politicians Or Leaders
17. Use of Digital Media in Polity
• In the free democratic societies media organizations generate political
debates and provide a platform for open discussions.
• Media technologies can flourish in such societies promoting an
atmosphere of participation and democracy.
• In undemocratic countries (whether developed or developing), the
media organizations work under strict governmental censor.
• In these countries, media are controlled and used for propaganda against
the enemies and for projection and publicity of the rulers and their
policies.
• In such countries, digital media cannot play its role in spreading
democratic values in the society.
18. Obama’s Election Campaign: The Best Model of
the Use of Internet
• America’s President Obama’s election campaign was the beginning of a new
era of political communication and it opened new doors for researchers and
media scholars to study the effects of new media technologies on society.
This e-campaign started new horizon of interaction between media scholars
and political scientists working on political debates and discourses. The
tremendous use of new digital media by the organizers of the Obama‘s
campaign was a big source of inspiration for the political leaders all around
the world. Obama is now leading The USA only because of the extensive use
of the new media technology.
• The Obama’s campaign was supported by hundreds of volunteer workers who
prepared and managed the whole campaign with a great zeal and zest. They
worked day and night with deliberation and commitment.
19. Strategies used During Campaign
• A new media division was created during the
overall election campaign that was responsible
for the delivery of the campaign messages to the
general public in the whole USA. This division
consisted of creative writers, experienced media
professionals, and visual artists.
• Some of the prominent graphic designers were
also hired for this project and they were
assigned to produce the best possible brand
image that could present Obama as the best
possible president of the USA.
20. Strategies used During Campaign
• The website titled as “MyBarrackObama.com” was
launched in this regard to spread the messages of the
election campaign throughout the country. The visual
coverage of almost all of the daily activities and speeches
of Obama in the political gatherings were uploaded and
made available for the general public. The website later
on became a source of political and civic education for
citizens because legislation of several possible laws was
also discussed in this website and the public opinion was
known about several issues.
• Within a very short time this e-campaign became very
much popular and almost 13 million Americans became
receivers of the regular emails of the campaign and they
registered their names in the mailing list of the
campaign.
21. Mass media and the Modi ‘wave’
• The media, in turn, was greatly benefitted by an unprecedented
advertising campaign launched to promote Mr Modi – the scale of the
campaign was unparalleled in Indian history not only in the
traditional media (print, radio, television and outdoor banners) but
even more so in the new media (internet websites, blogs and social
media platforms like Facebook and Twitter).
• A substantial section of India’s mass media is owned and controlled
by corporate conglomerates, the corporate media can be credited
with ensuring that the BJP led by Mr Modi won a resounding victory
in the polls.
22. • Not surprisingly, many commentators have latched on to the report
from the Centre for Media Studies, just out, which found that in TV's
prime time coverage Modi got significantly more air time than Rahul
Gandhi and Arvind Kejriwal.
• It was about 33 percent on Modi, about 10 percent on Kejriwal, and
only about 4 percent for Rahul Gandhi.
• In the last phase of election it went up to 40 percent for Modi.
23.
24. Media in electoral malpractices:
o Election malpractices are committed by electronic and print media.
o Media is supposed to play neutral role in a democratic society.
oIt is more so in democratic elections where media reporting, publication of political
views, projection of the party and candidates images have direct impact on the voting
pattern in any election.
• Now a days media instances…
• favoritism

sabotaging democratic principles
• Misquoting, misreporting, publication of misleading news and views are some of the
malpractices committed by media persons.
