The impact of athletics and extracurricular activities on academic performanc...MollieMcGee1
This current literature review intends to examine the relationship between extracurriculars and academic achievement. Many consider extracurricular activities to have a positive impact on adolescents and emerging adults. However, this study observes extracurricular involvement and athletes and their positive or negative correlation with academic achievement. Additionally, this study observes the relationship between extracurriculars and academic achievement for differing demographics and motivations, including gender, socioeconomic status, minority status, disability status, and college decision. The findings discussed in this article reveal trends for each demographic. Athletic women tend to have higher GPAs than athletic men, low-income students often cannot afford extracurriculars but benefit greatly when they participate, involved minority students are more likely to be confident about their academics, and students facing mental health issues may be afraid to seek help. As expected, students become more involved in extracurricular activities when their goal is to apply to colleges and universities. This review suggests that involvement in extracurriculars and athletics positively impact adolescents and young adults of various demographics.

THE IMPLICATIONS OF DRUG ABUSE AND ABORTION ON ACADEMIC ACTIVITIESEkuoye Seun
The reason for being in school is to be informed and gain knowledge to enable students live life and not to be involved in social ills. Abortion and drug abuse are common social ills in our academic environments. Akanbi, (2015) observed that drug abuse by students has become an embarrassing occurrence to parents school, government authorities and the society at large. In the same manner, Uthman, (2017) decried the prevalence of abortion among adolescent girls in Nigeria. Drug abuse and abortion are social ills with serious implications for the individuals concerned and the society and unfortunately, the groups that are mostly affected are then youth and not just the youth but those that are in the tertiary institutions.

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.
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”.
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.
