Here is a 500-word essay on the importance of public opinion and how it can be recognized in cultural life:
Public opinion plays an important role in any democratic society. It represents the collective voice of the people and influences political decisions, cultural trends, and social norms. Understanding public opinion allows leaders and decision-makers to be more responsive to the needs and desires of citizens. It also gives citizens a sense that their views matter and can shape the direction of their community.
In Montenegro, there are several ways we can recognize the influence of public opinion on cultural life. One is through the popularity of certain cultural events, activities, or art forms. When something resonates widely with people's interests and values, it often gains broader acceptance

A Time of Turmoil
The French Revolution was one of the most influential events of modern history. The ten year period from 1789 to 1799 when France went from a Monarchy to a Republic, to a Reign of Terror, to Dictatorship was one of the most tumultuous times in European history.
Myth and Reality
Much myth and romantic legend has been written on what some politicians would like the French Revolution to have been, but the reality was that the French Revolution was a monstrous horror. In the name of “liberty, equality, fraternity or death!” over 40,000 people lost their heads to the guillotine, 300,000 people were publically executed by firing squads, drownings and other methods of mass murder and ultimately many millions died in the 25 years of war and upheavals that resulted.
Fascism, Communism, Nazism: The Abuse of Philosophy and Art in the Pursuit of...Laura Govia
This is first of a two-part slide show designed to review the literary periods we have studied thus far and how the ideas of those eras were misappropriated and grossly misinterpreted by the Nazis.
The second part will cover historical and cultural contexts leading up to Hitler's rise to power.
It is important to know how all of this came about in order to fully understand the aims of postmodernism, which is a response to the atrocities committed from 1933-1945.

Spain has given a lot to the world over the centuries though its people and their inventiveness. Some of them or famous around the world, for example flamenco, sangria, bullfighting. But, there could be things which are more famous in the world that may be from Spain.
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 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.

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.

3. We live, while we see the sun,
Where life and dreams are as one;
And living has taught me this,
Man dreams the life that is his,
Until his living is done.
The king dreams he is king, and he
lives
In the deceit of a king,
Commanding and governing;
And all the praise he receives
Is written in wind, and leaves
A little dust on the way
When death ends all with a breath.
Where then is the gain of a throne,
That shall perish and not be known
In the other dream that is death?
Dreams the rich man of riches and
fears,
The fears that his riches breed;
The poor man dreams of his need,
And all his sorrows and tears;
Dreams he that prospers with years,
Dreams he that feigns and foregoes,
Dreams he that rails on his foes;
And in all the world, I see,
Man dreams whatever he be,
And his own dream no man knows.
And I too dream and behold,
I dream I am bound with chains,
And I dreamed that these present
pains
Were fortunate ways of old.
What is life? a tale that is told;
What is life? a frenzy extreme,
A shadow of things that seem;
And the greatest good is but small,
That all life is a dream to all,
And that dreams themselves are a
dream.
(Segimundo's monologue, from Life
is a Dream, Calderón de la Barca)

16. «La politica, di cui intendiamo ragionare, la divideremo in due parti:
l’una in speculative, in cui trattaremo de’ principia universali,
generi, forme de’ governi et alter cose spettanti a la natura di quelle;
l’altra in politica prattica, ne la quale s’esporrà in teatro come I
principi e Stati s’habbiano a reggere e governare I popoli con le
massime proprie spettanti al bon governo. E acciò procediamo con
chiarezza e non caminiamo in tenebre, fa di bisogno che diamo
principio da la sua definizione. La política, dunque, ella vien difinita
in cotal modo: ella è un habito che informa l’animi et costumi
dell’huomini acciò vivano in una comunità fra di loro, bene e
felicemente. La mia intenzione egli è di trattare con brevità (lasciate
in disparte le questioni filosofiche, quanto più sia possibile), a la
moderna e da cortegiano), le massime di bon governo ne’ principi e
potentati […]»
17. The politics is divided into two parts: one in
a speculative way, the universal principle,
styles and forms of Government, the nature
of things; the other is practical politics. How
princes and states rule. But it is necessary
to give a definition to this principle.
Therefore, politics is defined: it is a habit
forming the soul and the customs of
mankind, so that they can live in a
community with each other, in welfare and
happiness.
18. "The common political precept that teaches, it is
necessary to rule certainly have the subjects
killed, is as true as misunderstood, and
tyrannically practiced by many princes, who by
their insatiable greed say the best judgments
political interpretations, resulting in more useful to
them."
19. “A prince should learn to be able not to be
good”
Public opinion controls our political and
economical life from its very foundation.
20. Deliberated Propaganda
“it is always beneficial to be attentive to the
voice of the people”.
A mix of political concepts and the passive
choice of the people, sponsors theater plays
of political nature, not only sword and
knighthood, love, work and death, but
intrigues, wars, political decisions of the king
and government and interaction among
ministers during armed conflicts .
22. “The Spanish theater is, above all, a political and
social instrument and it does not respond to a
concern or ethical purpose and even the part that
deals with religious themes is minimal. True, the
Church was also interested in the polemics and
weapon of propaganda that could be the theater
and there is a religious on that is auto sacramental
[...]. But Lope deals in his plays with passions of
the world and social clashes, problems of the world
and only in very small proportion, of religious
subjects, including the hagiographic, often for
purely political reasons.“ Maravall
23. Political Theory / Narrative Theory /
Narrativity
Up until recently (50 years or so) Narrative
was used predominantly in literary context
describing books, stories and literary work of
any sort. This changed in the 60’s and 70’s
with the rise of the study of Identity with all its
components. Narrative slowly transcended
into Narrativity and was used to interpret
cultural and social based sciences (political
philosophy, psychology, cultural theory,
anthropology, sociology…).
24. Narrativity as our modern thought and
understanding that can be approached
from the ambiguous perspective of
ficticious and historical context.
From the theory of how to enact Politics to
the discontent expression of the opposition
in the form of satire and popular
pamphlets.
25. The San Plácido episode.
Don Julián
The henhouse:
That was an henhouse in plain,
if you imagine the palace today.
So even count tyrant,
They treat him as a hen.
