Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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.
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. Learning Objectives
What are the biggest sources of political views held by
Americans?
What is the the role of biology as a source of political views?
What is an ideology?
What is meant by liberal, conservative, libertarian, and
populist/communitarian?
3. A Few Quick Definitions
Before moving ahead, let us define a few key terms.
Politics
Who gets what, when, and how.
Struggle over who shall rule and what policies shall be made.
Government
A set of institutions with the monopoly of legitimate power needed
to make binding decisions on society as a whole.
Institutions
Long standing features of government that structure power
relations.
Example: Constitution
Has been in place since 1789.
Structures relations between branches of government, federal and
state governments, the government and the people.
4. The Sources of PoliticalViews
Wilson offers two explanations for the sources of our political
views.
Social
Biological
The social explanation is about learning.
The process by which young people acquire their political beliefs
is called political socialization.
We take our cues from various agents found in our social
environment.
The traditional agents are thought to be family, religion, and education.
5. Agents of Socialization
The role of family as a source of political views
Socialization is usually thought of in terms of party identification.
Family is thought to be biggest influence outside of biology.
The children of Republicans or Democrats become Republicans or
Democrats.
However, party identification in the U.S. is in decline.
The U.S. is experiencing an overall decline in party identification.
This is especially true for young people.
Children as less partisan and more independent than their parents.
6. Agents of Socialization
The role of religion as a source of political views.
Religion is often important to how families transmit political views.
Religion teaches us about politics because it informs us about human
nature and human affairs.
The role of education as a source of political views.
Education exposes young people to new people, new ideas, and new
ways of thinking, as well as critical thinking and a necessity for change.
Understanding the role of education allows us to understand the role of
elites, and the potential divide between the new class and traditional
middle class.
The role of sex as a source of political views.
There is a perceived gender gap in political behavior.
Surveys indicate women’s political views have changed over time.
8. The Gender Gap: Differences in Political
Views of Men andWomen
9. Biology:The Non-Social Agent
Wilson argues genetics are as important as family in explaining political views.
Wilson argues we both learn and inherit our political views.
Example: Twin studies
Even when raised apart, identical twins were more likely to have the same political views as
compared to fraternal twins.
According to Hibbing, biology must be included among social factors when it
comes to explaining political views.
Hibbing says it is more than just genetics.
The focus should be on early development, environmental experiences, and genetics.
Genes are not the only aspect of biology that should be considered.
Genes alone do not shape political attitudes.
Hibbing offers additional biological aspects such as….
Physiological
Endocrinological
Cognitive
Neuroscience
10. Biology:The Non-SocialAgent
If biology is important to political views, what does that imply?
Change is possible, but people will tend to be consistent with
their views over time.
People will selectively interpret history.
Political discourse should be more civil.
We can “unlearn” what social agents have taught us, but we cannot
“unlearn” biology.
Traditionally, our political views have been thought to be top
down (coming from agents that teach us about politics). Biology
challenges that notion and says politics can be bottom up.
11. Cleavages in Public Opinion
We know where views come form, but where do they clash?
Social cleavages are social divisions within a society.
Examples: class, region, race, age, or religion.
Reinforcing cleavages reinforce differences between people.
These types of cleavages often create conflict.
Example: Class, region, and religion
Working class also tend to be rural and Catholic, while the middle class tends to
be mostly urban and Protestant.
Overlapping cleavages tend to defuse the potential for conflict.
Working class might be urban or rural, and might be Catholic of Protestant.
One does not automatically inform you about the others.
In the U.S., we have overlapping cleavages.
Occupation, age, and region are our most dominate cleavages.
13. Political Ideology
In the U.S. we most often hear about liberal and conservatives.
These are political ideologies.
Ideologies are coherent and consistent attitudes about the role of
government.
Political activists tend to best informed and more consistent.
We can analyze ideological consistency along the lines of the
following economic and social issues:
Government policy and the economy.
Civil rights and race relations.
Personal conduct and civil liberties.
14. Ideologies in the US
In the U.S., we have four main ideologies:
Liberal
The pure liberal is liberal on both economic and social issues.
Conservative
The pure conservative is conservative on both economic and social
issues.
Libertarian
The pure libertarian is liberal on social issues but conservative on
economic issues.
Populist/communitarian
The populist/communitarian is conservative on some social issues
but liberal on economic issues.
