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

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
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.

2. Explain the factors influencing personality.
Points : (i) Family
(ii) School
(iii) Peer group
(iv) Culture
Answer:
A. Meaning of Personality:
iv. The word personality is derived from the Latin word "persona" which means mask.
v. During olden days, Greek stage actors used to wear suitable masks as per the need of
the characters they used to enact.
vi. The meaning of the word personality thus got interpreted as the projected behaviour.
B. Definition of Personality:
iii. Norman Munn: According to him, “Personality is a unique combination of individual's
physical structure, needs,interests, abilities and aptitudes.’’
iv. Gordon Allport: According to him, “Personality is the dynamic organization within the
5. 5
individual of those psychophysical systems that determines his unique adjustments to
the environment.”
c.Factors Influencing Personality:
1. Family:
Family is one of the most importantfactors influencing personality of an individual.
The elements related to family such as structure of family, socio-economic status of
family, emotional, academic and cultural environment in family, interactions between
family members, child rearing practices followed by parents, etc. have significant
effects on personality of an individual
For example, in a family having warm emotional atmosphere, parents have healthier
relations with their children.
Love and respect shown by parents towards their children boosts the self-confidence
and self-esteem of children.
This in turn positively affects the personality of children. On the contrary, over
protection, rejection, negligence, etc. shown by parents towards their children leads
to low self-esteem and low self-confidence among children which have adverse
effects on the personality of children.
2. School:
The school plays an important role in the personality development of students.
The elements related to school like the teaching learning process, academic activities
and co- curricular facilities provided by school, teachers’ rapport with students, school
discipline and policies etc. have a significant impact on the personality of students.
For example, a creative, well qualified, experienced and well-mannered teacher acts
as a role model for his / her students.
Such teachers provide maximum opportunities for the optimum development of the
potential of their students.
This in turn helps students to develop their personality in a healthier manner.
3. Peer group :
Peers are a pervasive aspect of our social life. Peers surround us in our everyday lives
from early childhood until old age.
Members of the same classroom, workplace or sports club, etc. constitute peer group.
The peer group may influence personality in a positive as well as negative manner.
For example, good habits such as studying regularly, developing healthy attitude
towards one’s own gender and the opposite gender, etc. may be developed by being
in a good company of friends. Similarly, the unhealthy habits such as bunking
6. 6
lectures, developing various addictions, showing aggressive tendencies and bullying
etc. may be developed by being in a bad company of friends.
4. Culture:
Cultural factors also play an important role in shaping the personality of an
individual.
Every culture has its own set of values, beliefs, norms, etc. influencing thoughts,
feelings and behaviour patterns of an individual.
For example, leadership qualities, listening skills, entrepreneurial skills, tendencies to
cooperate with others, etc. may differ from culture to culture and therefore people from
different cultural backgrounds may have different personalities.
D. Conclusion: Many factors shape personality of an individual. Personality is the
dynamic organization within the individual of those psychophysical systems that determines
his/her unique adjustments to the environment.

c.Methods Of Personality Measurement:
(i) Behavioural analysis:
7. 7
The behavioural techniques such as interview and observation, etc. help in assessing
the personality of an individual. These behavioural techniques can be explained as
follows:
(a) Interview :
Interview is the most common method of measuring personality. An interview is a
process in which an interviewer tries to collect information about the personality of an
interviewee by asking him / her various questions.
The factors like time taken to give answers, gestures, postures, body movements, etc. of
an interviewee are also taken into account while measuring personality of an
interviewee.
The following are the main types of interviews :
1. Structured interview :
Structured interview is a type of interview in which total number of questions to be
asked tothe interviewee, the sequence of questions etc. factors are predetermined.
No questions are added or deleted on the spot. Generally, industrial psychologists use
structured interview while selecting a particular employee for a particular job.
2. Unstructured interview :
Unstructured interview is a type of interview in which the total number of questions to be
asked tothe interviewee, the sequence of questions etc. factors are not predetermined.
Depending on the responses of an interviewee, some questions are added or deleted on
the spot.

8. 8
Generally, clinical psychologists, counselling psychologists, health psychologists, sport
psychologists, etc. use unstructured interview for collecting detailed information about
personality of their clients.
(b) Observation :
Observing an individual in various situations is another important method of
personality measurement.
For example, a psychologist can observe how a child behaves when the teacher is
not present in the classroom or how a factory worker behaves in a workshop when
the supervisor is not present.
Observation method proves very helpful if it is used by a trained psychologist
(observer) and with clear objectives and guidelines for observations.
Naturalistic observation, laboratory observation, participant observation, non-
participant observation etc. are some of the types of observations that are helpful to
collect information about the personality of an individual.
(ii) Self report inventories:
In self-report technique an individual provides information of his / her own personality
by responding to questions / sentences set in a particular inventory.
Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), 16 Personality Factors (PF) by
Cattell, Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), High School Personality Inventory
(HSPQ) are some of the examples of self report inventory.

I am
easygoing
I have high
standards
I enjoy time alone
I work well with
others
I dislike
confrontation
I prefer crowds
over intimacy
Specimen of self-report inventory
(iii) Projective method
Projective methods emerged from the psychoanalytic school of thought. Projective
methods are intended to uncover feelings, desires, and conflicts that are hidden at the
9. 9
unconscious level.
In projective test situations, an individual responds freely to relatively unstructured or
ambiguous materials.
While responding, individuals project their own personalities onto the unstructured
stimulus, often revealing personal conflicts, motivations, coping styles, and other
characteristics.
(a) Rorschach’s Ink-Blot Test:
This test was developed by Hermann Rorschach in 1921.
It uses ten irregul a r-ink- blots (five inblack and white, five in colour.) standing
against a white background.
Each inkblot is shown in a fixed number of ways and the subjects are asked to describe
what they see in each card.
The subjects are allowed to hold the card in any position they want, whether it’s upside
down or sideways.
Analysis of this test requires trained and skilful examiner.
(b) Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) :
The TAT was developed by Morgan and Murray in 1935. It requires the individual to
look at the picture and to interpret it by telling astory.
Theindividual is invited to say what led upto the scene in the picture.
Why such events occurred, what is currently happening and what the consequences
will be?
(c) Sentence-completion test :
In this test an individual is given a series of incomplete (partial) sentences and he/she
is asked to complete them in his/her own words.

2. • Thematic Apperception Test
3. • Sentence-completion Test

(a) I feel anxious when …………..
(b) I feel afraid of ………………….
(c) When something goes wrong………….
(d) When someone troubles me ……..……
(e) For me, my college is …………
D. Conclusion: Psychologists have developed various techniques of
measurement of personality. These techniques include behavioural analysis, self-
report techniques and projective methods.
