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.

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.
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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

1. The History of
Horror
Horror
• Noun 1) an intense feeling of fear, shock or disgust 2) a thing
causing such a feeling 3) intense dismay
- Origin: Latin, from Horrere ‘shudder, (of hair) stand on end’.
2. 1910s - 1920s
• At the beginning or roots of the horror
genre, the literature works of writers such as
Bram Stoker (author of Dracula) were made
on film throughout the 1910s and 1920s.
• Other films from this genre include
Frankenstein or Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, both
of which have roots in classic gothic horror
literature.
• These films were the first of their kind,
before being superseded by the silent era of
horror films.
3. 1920s - 1930s
• Entering the 1920s saw the horror movies
adopt total silence, instead only using very
captions to convey any words.
• One of the most well known silent films of
this time was Nosferatu due to controversy
about the film only increasing popularity and
was a film about a frightening vampire-like
creature.
• The impact of ww1 is possibly what prompted
such disturbing and somewhat spiritual work
to be created in the style of German
expressionism
4. 1930s - 1940s
• The 1930s saw the introduction of monsters
films and the mad scientist that created them.
Mainly made by universal studios, mostly
focusing again on the older literature of Dracula
and Frankenstein.
• These more recent adaptations had a greater
use of sound, changing the nature of cinema as
a whole forever.
• As the genre progressed into the 40s, more and
more adaptations of the horror films came
along, becoming more and more farfetched as
the sequels grew tiresome.
5. 1940s - 1950s
• The 1940s saw a change to the general theme of
horror movies.
• Britain banned them, so they were purely an
American product. Aimed to act partly as wartime
propaganda, depicting Americans as safe, heroes
and the villains as the enemies that would loose.
• This led to werewolves being the enemy in these
films, as Adolf means “noble wolf”. Cat people
represented the power back home, as women
replaced all the men's jobs. These films were
targeted at the returning troops to show that
women weren’t afraid of loosing the jobs they had
taken over from the men.
6. 1950s - 1960s
• During the 1950s, there was a large threat and
fear of radiation caused by recent military
events at that time such as the development
and use of nuclear weapons.
• This resulted in films focused around mutated
creatures and also alien invaders because of the
space race to the moon.
• There was also the threat of future nuclear
warfare with the fear of communism at the time.
The films were popular because of this as if they
were to give solace from the bad events that
were happening at the time and to distance
people from reality.
7. 1960s - 1970s
• Going into the 1960s, the public were beginning to
change their perceptions of what was actually horrible.
This decade saw tragic events that influenced films such
as the Manson family murders.
• This brought a family threat element to the films, much
more realistic than farfetched mutant aliens. Rather
Satanism, reanimation and ghosts were first scene,
gradually working their way into horror subgenres that
we know to this day.
• The films played on optimism, bringing horror to the
home. It was more believable and dealt with situations
present in the quickly developing world
8. 1970s - 1980s
• The 1970s saw a change to the optimism of the
1960s and towards addressing genuine
psychological fears. Fears such as childbirth and
children as a whole, a contemporary societal
issue. Often in these films, the children were
represented as innocent, and instead focused on
teenagers.
• Teenagers and their sexual agenda was targeted
and killed due to general carelessness. Reason
being, the films were trying to somewhat deter
teens from it as the disease aids was common at
the time. It also saw the introduction of the first
slasher films.
9. 1980s - 1990s
• The 80s are often referred to as the years of
‘Body horror’ or ‘video nasties’. Films that were
vile to the point of tabloids saying they poison
young minds with how profane they were, along
with slasher films from the outset.
• These films despite effects looking somewhat
comedic compared to modern effects (use of
animatronic props etc.) but at the time had the
desired effect of pure disgust.
• Sequels of these films were made numerous
times as with previous classic horror titles to the
point of postmodern parody with laughably
predictable plots.
10. 1990s - 2000s
• The 90s marked the end of video nasties, which
were soon regarded as classic horror films despite
their vulgarity. Bans on these films were lifted as the
UK introduced film age ratings to prevent damaged
young minds.
• Psychos returned, attempting to make audiences
fear more again rather than to be completely
grossed out by masses of gore.
• Films such as Silence of the Lambs and Scream had
almost notorious serial killers as the main focus,
possibly due to successful branding of previous
killers such as Jason Vorhees or Mike Myers
becoming the faces of horror.
11. 2000s - Present day
• After the millennium, torture became a key part of horror
films. The fears of interrogation techniques prompted this
after the terrorist attacks of September 11th and terror
became the new current affair and fear of the genre.
• This terror and ‘torture porn’ is reflected in films such as
Final Destination and saw, where characters are tortured
both mentally and physically, again playing on severe
realism rather than sci-fi or fantasy monsters.
• The late 2000s towards present day saw the return of
paranormal fears and supernatural forms such as
poltergeists due to localised fears within the home ‘caught
on camera’ following social media trends.
