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.

2. Applying Theorists:
Todorov: Equilibrium, she likes him, then he has a fight with his girlfriend, however they get together in the end.
Disequilibrium and the resolution.
She has to look perfect to get the boy.
Character types: Geeky girl, typical boy teen – football player, popular girl
.
Binary Opposites: High heels/sneakers, cheer captain/bleachers, geek/popular, short skirts/ t-shirts, jocks/geeks,
males/females, sporty/nerds.
Barthes: American footballers, band. It is all very cultural american, ‘the girl next door’ A very western audience.
Enigma: Is she going to get the boy?
Actions: On the phone we presume it is his girlfriend.
Semis: Glasses = nerdy. At the end of the video Taylor is wearing a whit dress, this colour connatates that she is
pure. Whereas the popular girl is wearing a read dress, she also has a red car, this colour connataes danger.
Symbols: Femininity and the popular vs. unpopular.
3. The girl next door…
The video opens with
a shot of two houses,
a few second's later
we gather that one
house is the boys and
the others is Taylors.
This is showing that
she is the typical ‘girl
next door’. Which is
very American.
4. The geek…
In this mid shot we can see that Taylor is wearing
thick framed geeky glasses, she isn’t wearing much make up
either and has natural hair.
This is connected to femininity.
5. This mid shot is backing up the statement of the being a geek. As she is
sat alone on a park bench reading a book.
She is also not in the centre of the frame. Telling us that she is never
really the main focus.
6. Here is a wide shot of the boy getting into his girlfriends car. This
type of shot has been used to show the whole car. The fact that it
is a sports car and is the colour red shows that she is dangerous
and not a girl to be messed with! Having a fast car and a fast paced
lifestyle.
7. Here is a mid shot of Taylor on the bleachers.
Wearing a band uniform. In cultural America
being in the school band is seen as nerdy. Most
American high school girls aspire to be the cheer
captain.
10. When Taylor walks into the prom it appears
she has no glasses on. The message here is
that you have to be beautiful and not a nerd
in order to get the boy.
11. Here Taylor makes an entrance wearing
a white dress. Showing her purity and
making her look ‘angel like’.
