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.

1. School guidance and counselling
What is school guidance and counselling?
School guidance and counselling is an educational approach within
professional organizations that support psychologist practicing in
education.
Its main roles are to improve child's educational achievements and to
prevent or reduce bad behaviours by taking into account their personal
development and situation.
Difference between guidance and counselling:
Guidance involves listening carefully to the problems of individuals and
discussing possible solutions that can help, solve and alleviate these
problems. In this way the person who is in dilemma can choose whether or
not to accept the said solution and carry it out.
Counselling involves a series of talking and listening, discussing the problem
at hand and sharing relevant information that could help the person
understand the problem and make his or her own decision or course of
action.
Therefore, while guidance is a way of providing solutions, counselling
has more to do with providing advices in order that the person in
troubles can solve his or her problems by their own.

management activities necessary to support the guidance and counselling
program, as well as activities or services provided by school counsellors to

When is guidance and counselling providing?
Guidance and counselling is provided when people with mental health
problems are identified. Normally they present the attitudes bellow:
Apathy, substance abuse, poverty to marital breakdown, feelings of loss
and abandonment, difficulties in controlling and expressing feelings
especially anger, low self esteem and general lack of social skills. Their
educational attainment is also affected due to lack of familial support, lack
of motivation, poor attitude, absenteeism and dropout, and consequently a
low standard of core literacy and numeracy skills.
10. HOW CAN WE IDENTIFY A PERSON WHO NEEDS
ADDITIONAL SUPPORT?
1. Teacher observations: Teachers are crucial to the success
of interventions in schools and have a good knowledge of
students. In this first phase, teachers raise any concerns they have had
with students with a chaired panel of multi-disciplinary specialists.
2. School support team contribute and then collate all information:
Without compromising confidentiality, welfare personnel such as the school
counsellor, nurse and youth worker nominate students not yet identified
and with whom they have worked and who are in need. In this second phase
further students can be added.
3. The student self-report: As adolescents have been found to be able to
accurately report both their depression and anxiety, the self-report
instruments are an important procedure.
Where is guidance and counselling provided?
They are provided in:
- Primary Schools
-High schools
-Degrees and post degrees.
-They are also provided by different kind of programmes and via internet.
PERSONAL GUIDANCE
Guidance at primary level
Main functions:
Support for the Transition from Primary to Post Primary.
Many children need support in their transition from primary to post
primary schooling.
In order to help them in this big step it is necessary the creation
of support models, result of the collaboration between primary and post
primary levels in schools
Career Related Learning in Primary Schools.
Career-related learning helps children to understand the world of work.
11. Recent invastigations are determining the need to include career-related
learning in the primary curriculum. This innovation will have many benefits
for children, as the help in children's self development, and in their
preparation for the adult working life.
Guidance in Post Primary Schools
Guidance is a universal entitlement in post primary schools. Each school is
granted an additional teaching resource by the Department of Education
and Skills for guidance purposes.
The Whole School Guidance Planning.
This Programme includes guidance counsellors working in post primary
schools with the knowledge and skills that are required to undertake the
guidance planning process, rather than providing schools with a generic
guidance plan. This takes into account the uniqueness of each school and
the context in which the guidance counsellor acts.
Guidance in Higher Education
All of the Universities and most of the Institutes of Technology (IoT)
offer a careers service to students. This carrer education has been
provided mostly for final year students and recent graduates. However,
some universities have started to provide this help to undergraduated
courses. The Careers Advisory/Appointments Office provides information
on educational and employment opportunities to students and
graduates. Students can meet with a Careers Adviser for educational and
career guidance.
Adult Educational Guidance Initiative (AEGI)
The AEGI offers a guidance service to adults which includes impartial adult
education information, one-to-one guidance and group guidance, which
willhelp people to make informed educational, career and life choices.
COUNSELLING VIA INTERNET
The online counselling has alredy being used. The idea of providing
counselling services via the internet is becoming a more accepted mode of
support. Nowadays, if we search in the net, we will find many organisations
that provide the help for guidance needers .
Normally, people who try to contact a counsellor via internet are more
needed of help
12. Kids Help Line provides web counselling to supplement their national
telephone counselling service. Benefits of providing online counselling
through the school website:
• The school counsellor has knowledge of the local community & how
services can be accessed
• The school counsellor is identifiable to students and is thereby not
seen as a total stranger
• The service can provide students with a sense of anonymity through a
‘one step removed’ effect
• Students tend to perceive the counselling relationship as a more
balanced interaction thereby being more conducive for student use.
