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.

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.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

3. Religion is perhaps the most difficult subject to study from
an objective point of view. Some people are deeply
committed to their own religious beliefs and are not
interested in examining alternative view that they believe
are “weird” threatening, or utterly ridiculous. Others do not
believe in supernatural beings and are skeptical of
sociology’s concern with matters that appear to be beyond
the realms of science.
4. Defining religion
• System of socially
shared symbols,
beliefs, and rituals
that is directed
toward a sacred,
supernatural
realm and
addresses the
ultimate meaning
of existence.
6. Animatism
• Animatism is a system of
beliefs in which
supernatural forces rather
than beings (gods and
spirits) are the dominant
power in the universe.
7. Animism
•Animism is the belief
that spirit beings
inhabit the same world
as humans, but on
another plane of
existence.

10. Religious Classification What/who is Divine Example
Polytheism Multiple gods Hinduism, Ancient Greeks
and Romans
Monotheism Single god Judaism, Islam, Christianity
Antheism No deities Atheism, Buddhism and
Taoism
Animism Nonhuman beings
(Animals, plants, natural
world)
Indigenous Nature Worship,
Shintoism
11. Social organizations of religion
• The idea of religious visionaries can capture the public
imagination and inspire change, even social revolution.
But in the long run, the relative influence of any religion
depends on religious communities that are organized to
promote religious ideals and objectives. Sociologist
classify religious organizations into four ideal types-
ecclesia, denomination, sect, and cult.
12. Ecclesia
• The ecclesia is a large
formally organized religious
body that includes most
members of society and is
supported by and closely
allied with secular and state
powers.
13. Denomination or Church
• The denomination is one of a
number of established,
socially accepted religious
organizations that maintain
tolerant relations with other
denominations in the context
of religious pluralism.
14. Sect
•A sect is a small, less
formally organized
group that usually has
separated from a
denomination and is a
negative tension with
larger societies.
15. New Religious Movement
•A new religious movement (cult) is a
loosely organized and transient religious
organization that includes religious beliefs
and practices that are considered novel
and at odds with a society’s religious
tradition.
20. Religion and Functionalism
1. Religion can promote social solidarity through
common symbols, belief, norms, and collective
rituals.
2. It may provide also provide individuals and groups
with emotional comfort and support, morale and
motivation, and a sense of individual and group
identity.
3. All societies through religion require collectively
and rituals for their cohesion and survival.
21. The conflict perspective of religion: Karl
Marx
• Karl Marx and other 19th
century German social theorist
believed that the world would
be a better place without
religion. To their thinking,
religion was the weapon by
which wealthy and powerful
groups maintained their
privileged position and
oppressed those beneath them
in the social hierarchy.
22. KarlMarx
“Religion is the sigh of the
oppressed creature, the sentiment
of a heartless world, and the soul of
soulless conditions. It is the opium
of the people.”
23. Religion and Social Change: Max Weber
• Max weber’s comprehensive
study of religions worldwide
revealed that while some
were fact highly conservative,
others- in particular,
Protestants and Puritanism in
Western Europe and America-
inspired major social and
economic movements.
24. Secularization and Religious Movements
•Rodney Stark (1990, p. 201) argued that during the
past century, only one social science thesis had
near universal acceptance: the secularization thesis,
which maintains that the global spread of
modernization and of more rational and pragmatic
approaches to life inevitably leads to the decline of
small-scale societies that are based on traditional
and religious worldviews.
25. Trivia Time
• Did you know that Desmond
Doss (who was once awarded
with the congressional Medal of
Honor for rescuing at least 75
men on the Hacksaw Ridge in
the Battle of Okinawa and was
known to be a conscientious
objector) is a Seventh-day
Adventist. He refused to bear
arms and did not allow himself
to go out on Saturday.
