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

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.

3. Cinematography
Cinematography is the camera angles and movements. Different angles
add a different effect to the scene. For example, a low angle makes the
character on screen look powerful and a high angle makes the character
look weak. Also a 360 degree shot makes the character look confused.
The different camera angles are Low angles, High angles, Long shot,
Wide shot, Close up, Extreme close up, Mid shot, Point of view and Over
the shoulder. The different camera movements are Panning, Tilting, 360
degree, Steadicam, Tracking shot and Crane shot.
4. Low Angle= Power
Wide shot= to see the surroundings
High angle= submissive
Mid shot= see character arm
movements
Long shot= centre of
attention (power)
5. Point of view= allows audience to experience the
movie through character’s eyes
Over the
shoulder=
see chemistry
between both
characters in
one shot
Extreme close up=
conceals identity
and surroundings of
characters
Close up= see character’s facial expressions
6. Panning shot= shows setting
Tracking shot
Steadicam shot=
puts audience in
the movie
8. Mise en scene
Mise en scene is a term for what is in the shot. This includes the lighting, colours
used, props and their placement, setting/location, makeup and costumes. All these
factors make up the scene and enhances the effect the producer and director is
trying to show the audience. An example is:
9. The red costume connotes danger
and blood which alerts the audience.
The low lighting used makes the
scene look more eerie causing the
audience to panic. The use of the
crosses is an irony as in this scene
there is an evil spirit, something that
is not associated with Christianity.
The pale makeup makes her seem
ghastly to create distress in the
audience. The house with broken
furniture tells the audience that they
are about to see something
destructive and bad.
10. Sound
There are different sounds that are included in film. Diegetic sounds are sounds
that are made in the in the scene and the source it is coming from is visible to the
audience for example, dialogue, music by characters and sounds made by objects
in the scene e.g. footsteps.Non- diegetic sounds are sounds that come from a
source not visible on the screen for example, background music and narrator
commentary. Sound can be both off-screen and on-screen for example if the
source of the sound is not shown on screen but is made in the studio for example
someone shouting from the distance then it is an off- screen sound as it is not in
the frame. An on-screen sound is when the source is seen in the frame for
example the dialogue by a character talking to another character.
11. Editing
There are different styles of editing. Editing links two shots together and there are
times when there is movement from one shot to another, this is called a transition.
There are many transitions, straight cut which is when it jumps from one shot to
another shot with not effects, a fade which is when the screen goes black or white
to show time passing, a dissolve to show the passing of time of that the scene
showing is happening at the same time as the previous scene, wipe shots to show
a jump in time and graphic shots which is when an object from the first shot turns
into an object in the second shot for example in Psycho, the eye turns to a drain to
show a possible link.
12. Editing Contd
There are three different styles of editing. This includes the eye-line match which
occurs when you see a shot of the character looking at an object then you see a
shot of the object. There is a Match-on-action shot which is when we see a
character doing something that is continue over to another shot which is done by
taking various shots of the exact same movement but putting the camera in
different places. Finally, there is the 180 degree rule which is an imaginary line
which goes between two characters on screen and the camera, when broken it will
look flipped so one character will start off on one side then change positions then
back again which does not look good to the audience.
14. Narrative
Narrative is the structure of the film for example at the beginning of the film, the
characters are sometimes introduced by the narrator or the audience gets to know
their name through a conversation between characters. There will be an
equilibrium where everything is how it should be, following with a disruption
usually caused by a villain, leading to a resolution which closes the film with a new
equilibrium. This kind of narrative is a narrative that follows the Todorov’s Theory.
You could also say that this is similar to the Classic Hollywood narrative as the
new equilibrium is a closure which is how most Hollywood film go. However, there
are subplots involved in the classic Hollywood narrative for example another
disruption may be introduced during the film.
15. Narrative contd.
A Three act structure is similar to both narratives as this narrative involves 3 parts
to a film which is the set up is 25% of the film, the confrontation is 50% and the
final is 25%. This narrative could also be called a typical Hollywood structure.
Another Narrative is the Roland Barthes theory which is when the text has many
meanings and they are complex for example you could have an open text which is
when the problem is not resolved at the end or you could have a closed text which
is when the disruption is resolved. You could also have a polysemic text which is
when the ending has different meaning for example they could be dead in real life
but lives in an alternative universe. Most films have a binary opposite narrative
which is when there is a villain vs a hero or a dominant character vs subordinate
character .
16.
17. Genre
There are different genres of films for example Horror which contains frightening
scenes and ghost. Thrillers which has a villain and hero and thrills the audience.
Adventure which has characters that go on adventures and encounter a few
problems on their quest. Comedy which contains humour and sometimes love
between two characters (romcom). Romance which has a storyline between two
characters falling in love. Action which contain a lot of fast paced action scenes
and hero vs villain scenes. Animation mostly watched by kids. Sci-fi which are
usually set in space or in another time (mainly in the future). There are many
more film genres such as drama, war, fiction, etc.
18.
19. Representation
There are different types of representation seen in fill for example male actors
move the plot forward, they seem more superior and they do most of the action
and hard work whereas the females are used as sexual item and they do most of
the light work for example chores. There is also a representation of cass seen in
many films for example people in the upper class live a good live, has valuables
and are very social. This might apply to some middle class characters while the
rest along with the lower class have a very simple life, they do not own luxury
items and they are not seen with other groups of people.
20. The women look scared and vulnerable while
the man looks on in confidence.
21. Audience
The audience is a key factor to any film. Film producers try to aim at certain
audiences whether it’s male or female and through their age too for example,
Marvel is known for its many superhero films. They all appeal to the male
audience as they are known to like these types of films whereas females would
rather sit a watch a romcom or an action. Marvel films usually appeal to young
adults, teens, children and some adults. Film producers also try to make films that
the audience knows what to expect from it for example, horror films are known for
their stupid characters, same narrative and cliches such as jump scares.
Sometimes producers do the opposite to make films more interesting.
