DIVORCE AS A SOCIAL PROBLEM
When a married couple can not live together comfortably the dissolution of marriage is called ‘divorce’.
Divorce ratio is higher today then compared to rates just 15 years ago: The causes of divorce vary from couple to couple but the research done on the causes of divorce by different researchers shows that
1) Lack of communication: is one of the leading causes of divorce. The divorces often happen when people rarely discuss their expectations in details and are less willing to work on their marriages and would like quick solution rather than having to resolve issues.
2) People who come from divorced homes are more likely to get divorced than people who come from happily married household. divorce seem less like a big deal if one has seen his parents go through with it:
3) People who get married between the ages of 23-27 are likely to stay together, than people who get married in their teens:

Understanding Culture for Community Engagement, Organization and Development (CEOD)
U.S. communities are becoming more diverse
Racial profiling & stereotyping will be key discussion points when engaging and developing communities in public health practice and may be harmful because they can impede communication, engagement and development
Racial profiling / a law enforcement practice of scrutinizing certain individuals based on characteristics thought to indicate a likelihood of criminal behavior
Stereotyping / a fixed, over generalized belief about a particular group or class of people (Cardwell, 1996)
CEOD and Cultures of the Future
Questions to help engage, organize and develop a healthy community of the future:
If you could have your ideal community right now what would it look like?
If you can’t have your ideal community right now, what will be the next steps in building the kind of cultural community you desire?
Who lives in the community right now?
What kinds of diversity already exist?
How will diversity be approached in your community?
What kinds of relationships are established between cultural groups?
Are the different cultural groups well organized?
What kind of struggles between cultural groups exists?
What kind of struggles within cultural groups exists?
Are these struggles openly recognized and ta.
Challenges Ahead and Activism
Week 10
Collective Behavior
What is it?
Non-institutionalized activity in which several people voluntarily engage.
Examples?
Theoretical Perspectives
Emergent-Norm Perspective
People perceive and respond to circumstances based on their own set of norms but when a situation arises that is unfamiliar, people act in groups to develop new norms
What does this sound like? (which classical theory?)
Value-Added Theory
A set of conditions must be in pace for collective behavior to occur – structural conduciveness, structural strain, generalized belief, precipitating factors, mobilization, and social control
Which classical theory does this sound like?
Assembling Perspective
Focus on collective action based on shared interest
Individuals are rational beings
Social Movements
What are they?
Purposeful, organized groups working toward a common social goal
Local, state, national, and global levels
Examples?
Stages of social movements
Preliminary stage, coalescence, institutionalization, decline
Theoretical Perspectives
Resource mobilization: Ability to acquire resources and mobilize individuals
Framing/Frame Analysis: Diagnostic, prognostic, and motivational framing
Frame alignment process
New Social Movement Theory: Understands social movements as they relate to politics, identity, culture, and social change
Examples: Ecofeminism, transgender rights movement, black lives matter movement
Social Change
How does it happen?
Changes in technology, social institutions, population, and the environment
How might these things cause change, spur collective action, or open the door for new social movements?
Activism
Vigorous direct action used to catalyze changes in social policies, institutions, and structures.
Protests, petitions, strikes, lobbying, public displays, political artwork, community education
What are some unique challenges to activism that have come up during the pandemic?
Discussion
Have any topics or social problems discussed this quarter prompted you to become involved in activism, if you weren’t involved already?
If yes, what have you become involved in and why?
What challenges do you foresee for the future of solving social problems?
Can we overcome those challenges? What would it take to overcome them?
Family & Marriage
Week 6
Key Take Aways
Opinions on family and marriage as well as trends in marriage and divorce have changed drastically over the years
Nuclear families are not the only type of family
Marriage can create advantages for couples and their children, but it can also be a source of inequality both within and between families
Research and discussions on marriage and family in the US tend to leave out lots of things (which we’ll discuss)
Overview
Textbook Definition
Family: “a group of two or more people who are related by blood, marriage, adoption, or a mutual commitment and who care for one another”

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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
