Education, occupation, and income are the main indicators of social mobility. Education provides opportunities for upward mobility and helps individuals gain credentials for better jobs. Occupation determines social status, and income level influences an individual's social position. There are different types of social mobility, including upward mobility to higher statuses, downward mobility, and horizontal or geographic mobility without changes in status. Intergenerational mobility involves changes across generations, while intragenerational mobility refers to changes within one's lifetime. Social mobility benefits societies by allowing the most able individuals to fill positions regardless of background.

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. Social Mobility
• Social mobility is the movement, usually of
individuals or groups, from one social
position to another within the socially
stratified system in any society. (Social
mobility allows individuals to move either up
or down the hierarchy.) It may refer to
classes, ethnic groups, or entire nations
4. Indicators of Social Mobility
An indicator is meant to
indicate something beyond the
property. Education,
Occupation and income are
considered to be the main
indicators of Social Mobility.
5. 1. Education
• the prime means of social mobility
• offers a chance to make up for the various
wrongs suffered by one’s previous
generations
• But it is also important to know that it
cannot be considered as channel to
acquire bureaucratic jobs
6. Functions of Education
• Education is a gateway to the professions.
• Education not only helps an individual to
acquire knowledge but is also a passport for
occupational position for higher prestige
• Education provides access to highly paying
governmental positions
7. Effects of Education
• It is clear that the more years one spends in
education , the greater are one’s chances of
high income and upward social mobility.
• Education not only provides the credentials
required to pursue many occupations but it also
helps people understand beyond the traditional
stereotypes.
8. • For example, the more years of schooling
people receive, the more likely they are to
understand the importance of practicing
contraception.
• The quality of education does affect the life
chances of students
9. • For instance, students’ course selections
at both high school and college have been
found to affect their later earning power
10. • Over all, we can say that education is not a
direct channel of mobility but it may prepare
people to take advantage of changes in the
occupational structure. Education is only
helpful to mass social mobility when
expansion and changing technology create
more high level jobs.
11. 2. Occupation
• Social mobility offers society the ability to
fill its occupational positions with the
ablest people.
• It offers the individual a chance to attain
his or her life goal.
12. • Occupation has been the most common
indicator of social stratification and
mobility both in closed and open societies
13. 3. Income
• Income and economic conditions play a very
important role in changing the status of an
individual
• On the basis of income, individuals can
achieve a high status is society
• Income indicates one’s way of life
14. 4. Motivation
• Each individual has a desire not only to
have a better way of living but also wants
to improve upon his social stand.
• This openness motivates people to work
hard and improve upon the skills so that
one can attain higher social status.
15. 5. Achievements & Failures
• Achievement here refers to extra
ordinary, usually unexpected performance,
which attracts the attention of a wider
public to the abilities of a person.
• Achievements affect status only if they
are remarkable.
16. • Failures and misdeeds have a similar
effect on downward mobility.
17. 6. Migration
• People migrate from one place to another
either due to pull or push factors.
• people are forced to migrate to other
places to earn their livelihood
18. The pull factors attract the people
because they do not have those facilities
at their place of residence and the new
place attracts them by providing these
facilities, so that after acquiring new skills
and knowledge they could occupy better
positions.
19. • People migrate from villages to cities
because urban centres have institutions of
higher status as well as opportunities for jobs.
• People come to urban areas to acquire
education and skills and occupy higher
positions than their parents and brothers who
continue to live in villages.
20. 7. Industrialization
• Industrial Revolution ushered in a new social
system in which people are given status
according to their ability and training.
• They acquired new vocational training and
got jobs in industries.
• with experience and training they moved up
in the social ladder.
22. 9. Modernization
• The process of modernization involves
use of scientific knowledge and modern
technology.
• It also refers to rationality and secular
way of life.
24. 1. Upward Mobility
• Refers to the movement of individuals or
groups from lower to higher status in a
social stratification system
• Also called vertical mobility which can
operate intergenerationally
25. Factors affecting upward mobility
• Policy and practice of migration
• Differential fertility of social classes
• Presence or absence of individual competition
• Availability of opportunities to prepare one’s
self for competitive process as a secondary
factor ( education first )
• Patterns of equality and inequality in a society
26. 2. Downward Mobility
• also results in a change in social status
( basically the opposite of the former)
27. 3. Horizontal Mobility
According to Sorokin, “Horizontal mobility
refers to territorial, religious, political party,
family, occupational and other horizontal
shifting without any noticeable change in
vertical position.”
28. 4. Geographical Migration
• known to sociologists as PHYSICAL
MOBILITY
• It is the movement of people from one
geographical spot to another, and it is a
phenomenon of increasing in modern
society
29. It includes:
• Forced relocation of large groups of
people
• Eviction
• Dispossession of unwanted people
• Voluntary permanent migration
30. Reasons for voluntary migration
• Economic factor
• Political reason
• Religious liberty
• Educational opportunities
• Natural calamities
31. Effects of Migration
• Diffusion of cultures
• Biological mixture
• Urbanization of culture
32. 5. Inter-Generational Mobility
• means that one generation changes its
social status in contrast to preceding
generation
• this mobility may be upward or downward
33. • With the help of these skills the younger
generation may get employment in higher
position. If the father is a shoemaker but
his son after acquiring education becomes
a clerk or a doctor or an engineer, this
would be called upward inter- generational
mobility.
34. • Similarly, a family of Brahmins may be
engaged on traditional occupation of
teaching and performing rituals but its
younger generation is neither intelligent nor
follows the family occupation. They become
daily wagers then the younger generation
has downward inter-generational mobility
35. 6. Intra-Generational Mobility
• Change in the position of one individual
in his life span
• Change in the position of one brother but
no change in the position of another
brother.
36. 7. Occupational Mobility
• means change from one occupation to
another
• Occupational mobility stands for change of
occupation of lower prestige to higher and
vice-versa.
