The document discusses relational maintenance, including what it is, when it should be done, and different types. It describes turning points like holidays and major events versus everyday talk. Relational satisfaction can come from factors like time spent together, positivity, and comfort. There are four definitions of relational maintenance: keeping relationships existing, maintaining their state, keeping them satisfactory, and keeping them in repair. The document discusses pro-social versus anti-social maintenance behaviors and gives examples. It also discusses strategic versus routine maintenance and using different mediums like face-to-face, phone, text, email, and social media to maintain relationships.

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.

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.

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.

32. Managing the Tensions
• Selection
– We simply choose one side of the tension
• Separation
– Favor each side depending on the situation
• Neutralization
– Never fully favor either side
• Reframing
– Discuss how the tensions compliment each other
Both have a major impact, yet research tends to look more at turning points because: a. They are easier to remember b. everyday talk is hard to get a hold of c. people do not realize how they use everyday talk (positivity bias)
Notice that they have them discuss both major events (how they met) and everyday conflict (finance problems).
Positive behaviors that lead to liking, relational closeness, and trust.
Negative behaviors used to maintain relationships, but does not improve relational satisfaction and in fact may damage it.
See LP 14 – Maintenance, Appendix A
Routine Maintenance – everyday behaviorsStrategic – purposeful attempt to repairWhich do you think is most effective?Problem – the line between the two is thin. If the other views the behavior as strategic, he or she may become defensive. (e.g. If I do the laundry, my wife might say, “OK, what did you do.” Then she checks the credit card statements to see if I bought something.
Most of you probably put low scores for all but F2F. Such big news is something we tend to want to do face-to-face. Maybe over the phone, but certainly nothing like texting.Why do we think this is?
This is big news that will probably affect the both of you in major ways. Again, the mediated forms of communication probably seem to impersonal.
For events like this, mediated is almost preferred, since we can go back and check for dates and times. Going to everyone and speaking f2f could be taxing and they may not have their calendar with them.
This is what is great about Facebook, right?
An older theory suggested that the richer the medium, the more appropriate it is for people to discuss important ideas.Face-to-face the richest, we have all sorts of verbal cuesTexting the least rich, we only have verbal cuesProblems – Skype? Also, the development of online relationships brings up questions. People feel as though they like each other more.
Which of these do you think engaged in the least amount of maintenance behaviors?VirtualHowever, when controlling for level of commitment, there was no difference. This means, modality really does not matter as much as how committed they are to the relationship.
Characterized by more affirming behaviors and higher levels of positivity.During this time we “put on a happy face” while ignoring anything negative.
My research. Usually the first two weeks after a homecoming is characterized by a euphoria. Re-entering the honeymoon stage. After this, the relationships need work.Pro-social Maintenance Behaviors: Datenights, task sharing, routinesAnti-social Maintenance Behaviors: Avoidance, Seek outside help, attributions from spouses
The three behaviors closely related to maintenance in same-sex friendships are:OpennessSupportivenessPositivityHow are male/male friendships different from female/female relationships?Guys are often associated with doing, women with talking, though again the differences are only slight and men and women need both of those things.Women engage in more non-verbal affection toward each other. Touching is typically not acceptable for men.
Here, is it simply a lack of sex? In other words, can there be “friends with benefits?”Is it lack of passion? Commitment?
Other issues to consider:How do heterosexual and homosexual friends maintain their relationships? Do they have similar challenges?
Again, the relational maintenance research is built on the assumption that our relationships have relatively stable projections. The dialectic perspective suggests that we experience at once discursive tensions and contradicting feelings.
Integration deal with managing our identity as either a couple or an individual, or the relationship identity as part of a larger group or apart from it.In this sense, at the same time we want to be our own person but we also want a close relationship with the other.Internal Example – You may want to spend all your time with her, but you also want to have your own life.External Example – Do we do our own thing or do we hang out with friends.
Certainty deal with expectations. At the same time we feel the need to be able to predict the other (which gives us a sense of security) yet we want excitement.On the external manifestation, we want to be like other couples, but we also want to be different from other couples.Internal Example – What type of dates we go on, we like to go to the movies every weekend, but we also wouldn’t mind a change.External Example – Weddings, we want to have a memorable wedding, but it has to follow some conventions for people to consider it a wedding.
Expression – refers to the disclose we engage in. At the same time we want to open up, but we also want our privacy.Internal example – talking about past relationshipsExternal Example – who to tell when someone is diagnosed with a disease.
According the this theory, we always have tensions. Some research seeks to identify these tensions. The latest research is exploring how we manage these tensions.Research has yet to find decent evidence to support which is healthier, which do you think is best for the relationship?
