the ending of relationships
Uncoupling – the series of stages by which couples (whether married or cohabiting) move toward ending the relationship
Suggested stages:DissatisfactionAttempts at changeTurning elsewhere Further distancing ResolutionInforming the other partnerAcknowledging the ending
marital endings
4 ways a marriage can end:
Desertion – one spouse simply abandons the marriage and the family has no subsequent contact
Separation – married partners decide to no longer live together
Annulment – a pronouncement that declares that a couple never had a valid marriageReligiousCivil (usually for fraud)
Divorce – legal dissolution of a valid marriage
health effects of unhappy marriagesResearch has found that the unhappily married were worse off on heart disease risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterol than both happily married and single women. One study found that couples in high-conflict marriages take longer than the happily married to heal from various wounds – from minor scrapes to surgery
societal and demographic factors associated with divorceFamily – many of the family’s traditional functions of child care, protection, and recreation have been taken over by outside institutionsReligion – people who are religious are less likely to divorce. Spouses with the same religion more likely to have stable marriagesLaw – legal assistance easier to obtain. Unclear if the prevalence of divorce has made legal proceedings easier, or if easier legal proceedings made divorce more common.
education, income & divorceGenerally, the lower the couple’s educational level and income, the higher the risk for divorceUS Census Bureau: about 36% of women 35-39, with less than 12 years education divorced, compared to about 28% of women with 17+ years of educationnote: the higher the education, the more difficult to marry. But are the marriages more stable if/when they do marry?However, people who have started toward, but failed to complete, a particular degree (regardless of its level), are more likely to divorce than those who complete the degree.Couples below the poverty line are 2x as likely to divorce within 2 years
ethnicity & cultureAfrican American couples are 2x as likely to end their marriages as white and Hispanic couples areLargely due to the fact that they are disproportionately poorAs income levels rise, divorce rates for blacks decrease, resembling those for whitesLatinos have relatively low divorce ratesPartly due to the fact that many are Catholic, and Catholicism frowns on divorce
personal factors associated with divorce
Communication problems
Infidelity
Constant conflict
Emotional abuse
Falling out of love
Unsatisfactory sex

Caveats
Relationships research has historically favored monogamous, heterosexual relationships
Research has also favored White, Western relationships
Important differences exist based on race, culture, and country
Most research is observational (for good reason)
Limits our ability to make causal claims, limited internal validity
Initial Attraction
When forming schemas of others, we quickly notice our own attraction to them
Attraction is an automatic, affective response
Serves to focus attention, resources
1. Physical attractiveness
We are more interested in, drawn to, and fond of people we find physically attractive
Why does physical attractiveness matter so much?
Biological Physical attractiveness cues ability to provide resources and produce healthy offspring
Symmetrical faces, clear skin, healthy hair all signal genetic fitness
Societal Attraction signals social awareness, value, and desirability
Halo effect Attractive people are perceived a friendlier, cleaner, etc.
2. Similarity
We are attracted to people that are similar to us in:
Culture, identity
Interests, values, hobbies
Physical attractiveness
What about “opposites attract?”
“My friend Katie is an extrovert and her partner is an introvert”
“Katie is a White, college-educated, Jewish, Democratic, millennial extrovert and her partner is a White, college-educated, Jewish, Democratic, millennial introvert”
2. Similarity
Why do we care about similarity?
We like ourselves, and therefore like people similar to ourselves
I listen to rap music, so if you listen to rap music you have great taste
Similar people feel familiar to us, and we like familiarity
If you grew up in the same area as me, I have a positive association towards you
Similarity contributes to trust and cooperation
I go to Miami University, so if you do too, I can trust you more
Similarity reduces the likelihood of being rejected
I have more I can say/do to impress you if we have shared interests
3. Positive interactions
We are more attracted to people when we have positive interactions with them
This can come from a single, incredibly positive experience with someone
It can also come from frequent, generally positive experiences
Generally, we like the people we are around in the absence of any negative experiences
Gender Differences
Men and women are much more similar than different in their partner preferences
Partner preference differs more by type of relationship
Short-term mate preference We favor si.
Response 1I grew up believing that other families were like mickietanger
Response 1
I grew up believing that other families were like my own, that there was one father and one mother in a family and then children and that’s what made up the family picture. My parents were married and I was the second of three children, so the family structure seemed to me to be a mother and father and kids. I do not have any gay or lesbian extended families or any single parent families in my extended family, so I was no introduced to differing family structures at an early age. I was raised in a well-off community of Caucasian people with high SES where there were few minorities. I think that the reason I didn’t understand about other family structures is because I was not exposed to them until Middle and High School (Derman-Sparks & Olsen Edwards, 2012). This contrinbuted to the family
Children are famously egocentric, and thus believe that each family is just like their own and it’s odd if that’s not the case (Derman-Sparks & Olsen Edwards, 2012). When children find out that another family has a different structure, they tend to be judgmental based on social biases that are created from their environment (Derman-Sparks & Olsen Edwards, 2012). Studies show that the family structure matters less than family functioning (Derman-Sparks & Olsen Edwards, 2012). Additionally, family structure was found not to influence academics in high school (Derman-Sparks & Olsen Edwards, 2012). Poverty and the quality of parenting (degree to which it is positive or negative parenting) has a much bigger role in the presentation of behaviors and pathology in children and adolescents (Cain & Combes-Orme, 2005),
I think that the kind of biases that I had as a kid and thinking that families were all “supposed” to be a woman, man and kids is a result of the environment that I was raised in. I think it’s always important to be aware of these early biases because I still think that they play a part in working with children and making sure we are not projecting our own beliefs onto them (Marsh, 1990). Children and adolescent may need help dealing with stigmatizations around homosexuality and diversity, and clinicians will do well to focus on increasing positivity in family relationships and developing resilience in children and adolescents around negative views of their family structure (Breshears, 2011). It’s important to teach children that love comes in many forms and it doesn’t just look one way – and that’s ok. Normalizing emotions and family systems can be extremely effective in reducing stress and anxiety in children and adolescents (Breshears, 2011).

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.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

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
