The document discusses several narrative theorists and their contributions. Vladimir Propp analyzed over 100 Russian fairy tales and identified character roles that frequently appeared, such as the villain, hero, donor, and dispatcher. Tzvetan Todorov believes most narratives follow a structure of equilibrium being disrupted by a force, then returning to equilibrium. Roland Barthes identified five narrative codes that engage the reader: action, enigma, symbolic, semic, and cultural. Claude Levi-Strauss examined how myths unconsciously reflect a culture's values through binary oppositions.

Red Bull, McDonald’s, Starbucks. These are just a few brands that fully take advantage of social media as part of their overall business strategy. In an age where voicing opinions and connecting online are second nature, social media has now become more essential than ever as a way to research, create relationships and shape brand perception.
However, what does it take to employ social media beyond a local business level, when there are dozens of markets, thousands of employees and millions of conversations to manage worldwide? What does it take to do it well? And even though all the other kids are doing it – is social media really worth investing in?

He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
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.

2. Vladimir Propp
• Vladimir Propp is a Russian critic and literary theorist.
• He has analysed over 100 Russian fairy-tales in the 1920.
• He said that it was possible to classify the characters and their actions
into clearly defined roles and functions.
• Star Wars is a prime example for Propp’s pricise model, but a
significant number of more recent films such as Pulp Fiction do not.
• The model is more useful although it highlights the similarities
between the seemingly quite different stories.
3. Propp’s Character Roles
• The Villain – the opposite to the hero
• The hero – seeks something
• The donor – helps the hero out by providing magical objects
• The dispatcher – sends the hero his own way
• The helper – always the character who supports the hero
• False hero – the role where you assume the role of the hero
• The princess and her father – this is like an reward for the hero,
however the princess needs protection from the villain as well.
4. Tzvetan Todorov
• Bulgarian literary theorists
• Believes and suggests most narratives start with a stat of equilibrium
in which life is oppose to be normal and happy.
• This state of normality is interrupted by a force and this has to be
fought off so they’ll be able to return to a state of equilibrium.
• A model lie this can be easily applied to a wide range of films.
5. Roland Barthes
Roland Barthes is a French semiologist and he suggested that narrative works
with five different codes which active the reader for it to be able to make
sense of it.
Barthes Codes –
Action – a narrative device by which a resolution is produced through
action for example a shoot-out..
Enigma – a narrative device that puts the audience on the edge of their
seats and teases them and this is done by presenting a puzzle or riddle to
be solved. Works to delay the story’s ending pleasurably.
Symbolic – Connation
Semic – Denotation
Cultural – a device which is narrative and this helps the audience to
recognise as being part of a culture.
6. Claudes Levi-Strauss
• Social Anthropologist.
• Studied myths of tribal cultures.
• Examined how stories unconsciously reflect the values, beliefs and
myths of a culture.
• These are usually expressed in the form of binary oppositions.
• Strauss research has been adapted by media theorists to reveal
underlying themes and symbolic oppositions in media text.
Binary Oppositions
• A conflict between two qualities or terms.
