The Nature of Putin’s Regime and the Reasons for its Foreign PolicyWestminster Institute
David Satter, a former Moscow correspondent, is a long time observer of Russia and the former Soviet Union. He is a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and a fellow of the Foreign Policy Institute of Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS).
Satter was born in Chicago in 1947 and graduated from the University of Chicago and Oxford University, where he was a Rhodes Scholar and earned a B.Litt degree in political philosophy. He worked for four years as a police reporter for the Chicago Tribune and, in 1976, he was named Moscow correspondent of the London Financial Times. He worked in Moscow for six years, from 1976 to 1982, during which time he sought out Soviet citizens with the intention of preserving their accounts of the Soviet totalitarian system for posterity.

In this lesson, we looked at the impact that Stalin had on the Soviet Union after he had taken over. We started out by considering his economic impact, which focused on his Five Year Plans.
Chapter 2a: The Rise of Stalin (Lesson 1 of 2)
In this lesson, you will learn about the Russian Revolutions of 1917 and how they set the stage for Stalin's rise to power. We will get through a few key names and terms, such as the 'Bolsheviks', 'Communism' and 'Lenin'. You will also see a guest appearance by Les Miserables (which, I repeat, has absolutely no historical relevance to the rise of Stalin).
In this lesson, we continued our study of Stalin's Soviet Union by analysing his political impact. We found out how he used a combination of propaganda and terror to control the population.
Chapter 1: The Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations (Lesson 1 of 3)
In this lesson, we got started on the History syllabus by learning about the events leading up to WWI. We were hit with a barrage of '-isms': Militarism, Imperialism and Nationalism. We then found out how these '-isms' contributed to the outbreak of WWI. Please note that this topic is *not tested* in the O Levels.

This game will help you to understand the challenges that governments face when dealing with trade-offs. Governments need to deal with the differing demands of society as well as prepare themselves for unforeseen events, whilst maintaining the economic and social well-being of the nation.
These slides summarise the impact of Hitler's rule over Germany. Just like Stalin's Soviet Union, Hitler's Germany was impacted in 3 areas - political, social and economic.
Ms Diyana guided us through the policy of appeasement, explaining why - and how - Britain and France gave in so easily to Hitler's demands. Instead of deterring him, this only made him bolder and resulted in the eventual outbreak of WWII.
Chapter 1: The Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations (Lesson 2 of 3)
In this lesson, we took a look at the League of Nations. We talked about why it was formed and whether the League of Nations was effective. Finally, we considered some key examples of the League's failure, such as Manchuria and Abyssinia.
This set of slides combines Parts 2 & 3 of the Cuban Missile Crisis (Part 1 was already sent as a video). Part 2 focuses on the escalation of tensions that led to the Cuban Missile Crisis and how it brought the world close to nuclear war. Part 3 focuses on the resolution of the conflict and how it impacted the parties involved.
We've looked at the difficulties that governments face in pleasing everyone. What does the government in Singapore do to meet some of the needs and challenges faced by society here?
In this lesson, we will go through the origins of the Cold War, going right back to the Russian Revolution all the way to the events that followed the end of WWII.
The slides are a bit bare for now, but this is the very quick summary of the important events and developments in Chapter 6. We learnt about Japan's history and how it affected its rise to global power. We saw how the crises in Japan as well as external forces led Japan into conflict with the nations around it, eventually culminating in WWII in Asia.
This is Mr Cheong's consolidated list of SBQ skills. Remember: the structure itself is not important! It is far more vital for you to understand what the question is asking for and to include the relevant info. My structures should serve as a checklist for you as you answer the SBQ questions.
This presentation will guide you through the steps needed to answer the Reliability question type in the SBQ section of your exam. I've borrowed the SURE acronym from the library campaign to help you to remember the answer structure for reliability questions.
Lesson 2 of 4: The Rise of Hitler - Hitler's Leadership Abilities
In this lesson, we looked at the 2nd set of reasons leading to Hitler's rise, namely Hitler's own personality and leadership abilities. Having studied the circumstances in Germany, we now learnt about how Hitler took advantage of the situation to rise to power in Germany.
Lesson 1 of 4: The Rise of Hitler - Circumstances in Germany
In this lesson, we studied how the circumstances in Germany contributed to Hitler's rise to power. First, we made connections between what we studied in Chapter 1 (Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations) and the start of Chapter 3. Then, we looked at the three major issues in Germany: the weakness of the Weimar Government, the problem of hyperinflation, and the severe impact of the Great Depression.
Lesson 4 of 4: Conflict in Multi-Ethnic Societies
We finally wrapped up our series of lessons on conflict in multi-ethnic society by looking at the impact of The Troubles upon Northern Ireland. After watching a number of videos about the violence that occurred during The Troubles, we then considered the political, social and economic impact that this had upon Northern Ireland.
Conflict in Multi-Ethnic Societies: Lesson 3 of 4
In this lesson, we spent some time exploring the causes of the Northern Irish conflict on our own, with the aid of our iPads. After our presentations, we looked a bit more closely at the factors that caused the Northern Irish conflict, known as The Troubles.
Lesson 2 of 4
In this lesson, we came to terms with the horrific consequences of the conflict in Sri Lanka. Having considered the political consequences of armed conflict and foreign intervention, we then studied how clash between the LTTE and the army led to great economic and social devastation on the beautiful island of Sri Lanka.
Conflict in Multi-Ethnic Societies: Lesson 1 of 4
In this lesson, we were introduced to the occurrence of conflict within mutli-ethnic societies in many parts of the world. We then studied the history of Sri Lanka to get some idea of the events that led up to the decades-long civil war that would ravage the country in the years to come.
Lessons 1, 2 and 3 on Healthcare
In this series of lessons, we began with a scenario where we had to provide free healthcare to one student with illness. We touched on some of the challenges facing healthcare systems across the world and looked at the examples of the US and the UK.
We finally moved on to the healthcare system in Singapore. We used the SAPEO acronym to recall the 4 key principles that have shaped Singapore's healthcare system, while learning about government initiatives such as Medishield, Medisave, Medifund and the different classes of wards in hospitals.
SS Chapter 2 - Governance in Singapore (Lesson 3 of 3)
In this lesson, we moved swiftly through Singapore's ageing population. We talked about what that meant for us in the future (more taxes!!!) and the 'Many Helping Hands' approach to deal with this problem.

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.
