The document summarizes a group project for a social psychology class. It lists the group members and their meeting time. It then outlines the project, which involved creating a video applying several psychology concepts. The group created a storyboard about a group assignment and filmed scenes showing social interaction, optimistic bias, hostile aggression, and bystander effect. Each concept is defined and applied to characters in the video.
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.
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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

cooperating together. Not to mention, we would like to thank our
members for their contribution.
On the other hand, we would like to thank Tan Ming Howe for
directing and editing the video. Also, we would like to thank
Nurafiqah Zariful for writing the storyline. This assignment would
not be complete without the effort and cooperation from our other
group members, Cynthia Fong, Lee Jia Kiam and Yeo Kai Wen.
Last but not least, Mr T. Shankar, our lecturer, we sincerely thank
him for the guidance, advice and time that gives us a good
understanding of the concepts and being able to apply them in our
assignments.

8. 3. Discussion
i. Concept and Definition
Social interaction is defined as the way people talk and act with
each other and various structures in the society. It may include the
interaction a family has together, for instance, eating, sleeping or
even living together; or bureaucracies that are formed out of the
need to create order within the interaction itself.
Our main theme, social interaction can somehow result the four
other concepts, optimistic bias, hostile aggression, bystander effect
and extrinsic motivation. These four are traits of human psychology
that are portrayed and explained in the context of both our video
and our presentation slides, and also further backed up by written
analysis and study through this report and presented through
slides for further understanding.

9. ii. Storyboard Design
Starting off having 4 storylines that have been prepared by one
of the member through paper and pen, which consists of stories
about Smoking, A guy in love with a girl, A girl looking for a job & A
group assignment. After discussing of which storyline are more
necessary for us to make it into a video, all members agreed to
choose A group assignment as our storyboard, that can involve all
of the members to participate in the video.
Before proceeding to film the video :
● We analyzed the storyline to make it neat and clearer to
understand.
● Divided the roles for each members for what is necessary.
● Daniel had drew a visual storyboard that would make an
easier reference for others to understand the concepts.
iii. Application and Analysis
Our video is a continuous video for about 3 minutes, showing and
consisting of five different concepts as mentioned before. Below is
an indepth analysis of each scene and how each concept applies
respectively through screenshots of the video taken and relevant
explanation.

10. 1. Social Interaction:
Scene Description: Cynthia, Jia Kiam and Kai Wen were in a group
meeting, discussing about their assignment; only realizing another
member of their team has not arrived.
Concept Definition: As explained before, social interaction is the
way people talk and act with each other, in this case, a group
discussion.
Explanation: Social interaction is a rather vast concept to talk
about. It may overlap with other disciplines like sociology,
personality psychology and cognitive psychology. It is also the
foundation of society. Without interaction, there would be no group
life.
Application: Cynthia, Jia Kiam and Carmen are doing their group
assignment and realized that one of their group member, Afiqah
has not arrived yet, in fact, Afiqah was half an hour late. Instead of
joining the discussion, she was on her phone the whole time.
9
11. 2. Optimistic Bias
Scene Description: Minutes before the lecturer is about to return
the assignment and the they would know their grades, Jia Kiam,
Kai Wen and Cynthia had high expectations on their results. They
expected that they would at least score a B.
Concept Definition: It is commonly defined as the mistaken belief
that one’s chances of experiencing a negative event are lower than
that of one’s peers.
Explanation: It is also known as unrealistic or comparative
optimism and is a cognitive bias that causes a person to believe
that they are less at risk of experiencing a negative event. Like
how Cynthia said that she expected the grade to get an A and to
be the best in class even though she knows that Afiqah did not
contribute to the group.
Application: As the lecturer place their assignment on the table, a
C can be seen at the right top of the paper.
10
12. 3. Hostile Aggression
Scene Description: Afiqah was the reason why C was their grade
and Kai Wen, Jia Kiam and Cynthia plan to plot a revenge. Kai
Wen decided that they boycott her.
Concept Definition: Hostile aggression is a form of behavior
directed towards the goal of harming or injuring or inflicting
damage upon another individual who is motivated to avoid it.
Explanation: It is impulsive and a rather intentional use of harmful
behavior. The goal is to hurt to the victim or person.
Application: Since they think Afiqah was the reason why they did
not score with flying colors, they decided to boycott her. In the
video, we can see that Afiqah is alone.
11
13. 4. Bystander Effect
Scene Description: Instead of only boycotting Afiqah, Cynthia, Jia
Kiam and Kai Wen even bullied her by throwing rubbish at her;
hoping to hurt her mentally.
Concept Definition: The bystander effect occurs when the
presence of others discourages an individual from intervening in an
emergency situation.
Explanation: A person who is present at an event or incident but
does not take part, like an ignorant passerby.
Application: Daniel, being the bystander, saw what happened and
instead of stopping them from throwing rubbish at her, he just
looked what is happening.
12
14. 5 . Extrinsic Motivation
Scene Description: Afiqah called her brother, Qayyum to comfort
her because she was boycott and bullied by her group member.
Concept Definition: Behavior that is driven by external rewards
such as money, fame, grade, and praise. This type of motivation
arises from outside the individual, as opposed to intrinsic
motivation, which is originates inside of the individual.
Explanation: This mean that you are studying the material to gain
external reinforcement (getting a good grade), which mean that
your behavior is extrinsically motivated. Example like Qayyum
promised to buy an iPhone 6 to Afiqah if she work harder and
change her attitude. Then Afiqah will work harder because of the
iphone 6.
Application: After Afiqah noticed her group members were boycott
and bullied her, she call her brother, Qayyum to comfort her. After
Qayyum knew the problem, he promised that to gift Afiqah an
iphone 6 if she work harder and change her attitude.
