THE AMERICAN DREAM 2
The American Dream: Dead, Alive, or on Hold?
What is the true state of the so- called “American Dream”
today? Is it still around, waiting to be achieved by those who work
hard enough, or is it effectively dead, killed off by the Great
Recession and the economic hardships that many Americans have
come to face? Statistics reveal alarming facts, including trillions of
dollars lost in the stock market (Paradis, 2009). While these losses,
combined with admittedly high unemployment in the past few
years, have contributed to seemingly dismal prospects for
prosperity in the United States, I believe that the ideals and values
of the American Dream are still very much alive. In fact, the
original term “American Dream” was coined during the Great
Depression by James Truslow Adams, who wrote that the American
dream “is that dream of a land in which life should be better and
richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according
to ability and achievement, regardless of social class or
circumstances of birth” (1931). I would redefine the American
Dream today as the potential to work for an honest, secure way of
life and save for the future. Many liberal economists and activists
say that the American Dream is dead, but I say that it’s more alive
and important than ever— and that it is the key to climbing out of
the Great Recession, overcoming inequality, and achieving true
prosperity.
Despite the harshness of the Great Recession, a 2009 New
York Times survey found that 72 percent of Americans still believed
it was possible to start poor, work hard, and become rich in
America (Seelye, 2009). In the same survey, Americans were also

asked questions about what they believed constituted being
“successful,” with the majority naming things such as a steady job,
financial security for the future, being able to retire without
struggling, and having a secure place of residence. Less common
were responses about owning a home or car and being able to buy
other expensive goods, implying a subtle shift from the American
Dream of the past to a more modest one today. In many ways, the
American Dream of today is a trimmed down version of its former
self. The real sign of success in our society used to be owning
expensive items, namely cars and homes, and acquiring more
material wealth. Living the American Dream meant going from
dirt poor to filthy rich and becoming more than you could have
ever imagined. Today, most people do not strive for a rags- to-
riches transition, and instead prefer a stable, middle- class lifestyle,
one in which they can focus on saving money for the future and
having secure employment. For example, more ...

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.

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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
