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.

SOCIOLOGY OF EDUCATION - Copy.pptx
1.
2. SOCIOLOGY OF EDUCATION
It is the study of how public institutions and individual experiences affect
education and its outcomes. It is most concerned with the public schooling
systems of modern industrial societies, including the expansion of higher,
further, adult, and continuing education.
It is a philosophical as well as a sociological concept, denoting ideologies,
curricula, and pedagogical techniques of the inculcation and management
of knowledge and the social reproduction of personalities and cultures.
It is concerned with the relationships, activities and reactions of the
teachers and students in the classroom. It emphasizes sociological
problems in the realm of education.
3.
4. SCOPE OF SOCIOLOGY OF EDUCATION
It is concerned with such general concepts such as society itself, culture,
community, class, environment, socialization, internalization, accommodation,
assimilation, cultural lag, subculture, status, role and so forth.
It is further involved in cases of education and social class, state, social force,
cultural change, various problems of role structure, role analysis in relation to the
total social system and the micro society of the school such as authority, selection,
and the organization of learning, streaming, curriculum and so forth.
It deals with analysis of educational situations in various geographical and
ethnological contexts. Eg. Educational situations in rural, urban and tribal areas, in
different parts of the country/world, with the background of different races,
cultures etc.
5. It helps us to understand the effectiveness of different educational methods in
teaching students with different kinds of intelligences.
It studies the effect of economy upon the type of education provided to the
students. Eg. education provided in IB, ICSE, SSC, Municipal schools.
It helps us to understand the effect of various social agencies like family,
school on the students.
It studies the relationship between social class, culture, language, parental
education, occupation and the achievement of the students.
6. It studies the role of schools in socialization of the students.
It suggests ways to develop national integration, international
understanding, the spirit of scientific temper , globalization
among the students.
It promotes research studies related to planning, organization
and application of various theories in education.
It studies the role and structure of school, peer group on the
personality of the students.
It provides an understanding of the problems such as racism,
communalism, gender discrimination etc.
7.
8. Emile Durkheim (1858-1917), is considered to be the first person to
recommend that a sociological approach be used in the study of
education. He points out that, ―Education is the influence exercised by
adult generations on those that are not yet ready for social life. Its object
is to arouse and to develop in the child a certain number of physical,
intellectual and moral states which are demanded of him by both the
political society as a whole and the special milieu for which he is
specifically destined----.
Durkheim observed that education takes different forms at different
times and places showing that we cannot separate the educational
system from the society for they reflect each other. He stressed that in
every time and place education is closely related to other institutions and
to current values and beliefs. Durkheim outlined his beliefs about the
functions of schools and their relationship to society.
9.
10. According to him, moral values are the foundations of the social order and society is
perpetuated through its educational institutions. Any change in society reflects a change
in education and vice versa. In fact education plays an active role in the process of
change.
Durkheim equated classrooms to ‘small societies‘ or agents of socialization. The school
acts as an intermediary between the affective morality of the family and the rigorous
morality of the life in society.
Durkheim spoke about issues which are real even today- the needs of different segments
of society with respect to education, discipline in schools, the role of schools in preparing
young people for society, the relationship of education to social change, cross cultural
research and the social system of school and classroom.
11. STRUCTURAL FUNCTIONALISTS
Structural functionalists believe that society leans
towards equilibrium and social order. They see
society like a human body, in which each part plays a
role and all are dependent on each other for survival.
Institutions such as education are like important
organs that keep the society/body healthy and well.
Social health means the same as social order, and is
guaranteed when nearly everyone accepts the
general moral values of their society.
12. Structural functionalists believe the aim of key institutions,
such as education, is to socialize children and teenagers.
Socialization is the process by which the new generation
learns the knowledge, attitudes and values that they will
need as productive citizens.
Students learn these values because their behaviour at
school is regulated until they gradually internalize and accept
them.
13. Although this aim is stated in the formal curriculum, it is
mainly achieved through "the hidden curriculum", a
subtler, but nonetheless powerful, indoctrination of the
norms and values of the wider society.
Those with high achievement will be trained for the most
important jobs and in reward, be given the highest
incomes. Those who achieve the least, will be given the
least demanding (intellectually at any rate, if not
physically) jobs, and hence the least income.
14. Education must, however perform another function. As various
jobs become vacant, they must be filled with the appropriate
people. Therefore the other purpose of education is to sort and
rank individuals for placement in the labour market Those with
high achievement will be trained for the most important jobs
and in reward, be given the highest incomes. Those who achieve
the least, will be given the least demanding (intellectually at any
rate, if not physically) jobs, and hence the least income.
15. According to Sennet and Cobb, ―to believe that ability alone decides who is rewarded
is to be deceived.
Meighan agrees, stating that large numbers of capable students from working class
backgrounds fail to achieve satisfactory standards in school and therefore fail to obtain
the status they deserve.
Jacob believes this is because the middle class cultural experiences that are provided
at school may be contrary to the experiences working-class children receive at home.
In other words, working class children are not adequately prepared to cope at school.
They are therefore step out from school with the least qualifications, hence they get
the least desirable jobs, and so remain working class.
Sargent confirms this cycle, arguing that schooling supports continuity, which in turn
supports social order.
16.
17. The perspective of conflict theory, contrary to the
structural functionalist perspective, believes that
society is full of social groups with different
aspirations, different access to life chances and
gain different social rewards.
Relations in society, in this view, are mainly based
on exploitation, oppression, domination and
subordination.
18.
19. Education achieves its purpose by maintaining the status quo, where lower-
class children become lower class adults, and middle and upper class
children become middle and upper-class adults.
McLeod argues that teachers treat lower-class kids like less competent
students, placing them in lower ―tracks because they have generally had
fewer opportunities to develop language, critical thinking, and social skills
prior to entering school than middle and upper class kids.
When placed in lower tracks, lower-class kids are trained for blue collar jobs
by an emphasis on obedience and following rules rather than autonomy,
higher-order thinking, and self-expression.
20. Schools are also powerful agents of socialization that can be used as tools for
one group to exert power over others – for example, by demanding that all
students learn English, schools are ensuring that English-speakers dominate
students from non-English speaking backgrounds.
Many teachers assume that students will have particular middle class
experiences at home, and for some children this assumption isn‘t necessarily
true.
Some children are expected to help their parents after school and carry
considerable domestic responsibilities in their often single-parent home. The
demands of this domestic labour often make it difficult for them to find time
to do all their homework and this affects their academic performance.
21. Where teachers have softened the formality of regular study and integrated student‘s
preferred working methods into the curriculum, they noted that particular students
displayed strengths they had not been aware of before. However few teacher deviate
from the traditional curriculum and the curriculum conveys what constitutes
knowledge as determined by the state - and those in power. This knowledge isn‘t very
meaningful to many of the students, who see it as pointless.
Wilson & Wyn state that the students realize there is little or no direct link between
the subjects they are doing and their perceived future in the labour market. Anti-school
values displayed by these children are often derived from their consciousness of their
real interests.
They point out that while private schools are expensive and generally reserved for the
upper classes, public schools- like Municipal schools, especially those that serve the
poor, are under - funded, understaffed, and growing worse
22. Fitzgerald states that ―irrespective of their academic ability or desire to
learn, students from poor families have relatively little chance of
securing success.
On the other hand, for middle and especially upper-class children,
maintaining their superior position in society requires little effort. The
federal government subsidizes independent‘ private schools enabling
the rich to obtain good education‘ by paying for it. With this good
education‘, rich children perform better, achieve higher and obtain
greater rewards. In this way, the continuation of privilege and wealth for
the elite is made possible.
23.
24. Two interaction theories are of great importance in sociology of education.
Labelling theory
Exchange theory
The labeling theory is concerned with how the self-identity and behavior of
individuals may be determined or influenced by the terms used to describe or classify
them, and is associated with the concept of a self-fulfilling prophecy and stereotyping.
If a child is repeatedly told that s/he is stupid or lazy, s/he will make the ‗label‘ a part
of her/his self concept and behave accordingly.
Exchange theory emphasizes the idea that social action is the result of personal
choices made by considering relative benefits and costs. The theory of social exchange
predicts that people will make choices with the intention of maximizing benefits. A key
component of this theory is the postulation of the "comparison level of alternatives",
which is the actor's sense of the best possible alternative (i.e., the choice with the
highest benefits relative to costs)based on the assumption that there are costs and
rewards involved in our interactions.
