Week 5 Topic Proposal and SummaryThis week’s goal is to begin .docxcockekeshia
Week 5 Topic Proposal and Summary
This week’s goal is to begin collecting information and planning for the final Commentary essay by reading, thinking, and engaging with your topic. As you determine your topic, you’ll want to be sure it’s viable by understanding the perspectives within it and determining what unique angle you can offer to the conversation. Under each prompt or question below, provide detailed information about your topic.
1. What is your chosen topic, and how did you come across it? Why is it interesting to you? What do you personally hope to gain or accomplish by writing about this topic? In this section, define your topic and explain where you first heard about it (i.e. local newspaper, website, etc.). Reflect on how or why your background, motivations, needs, or interests inspired your curiosity about this topic, and consider how the topic relates to your overall goals for writing.
As of July, the U.S. government has released more than 30,000 documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Documents that for more than half a century had been deemed classified. The release of these new file has added fuel to the fire, that is one of the most controversial events in American history. Yet, still today experts are no closers to learning the truth about why Lee Harvey Oswald committed this awful murder 54 years ago.
This topic is interesting to me because I enjoy learning about the history of our great nation. Recently the President Trump has declassified thousands of documents that could shine some light on one of the greatest controversies in the history of the United States. By writing about this topic I hope to gain insight as to why JFK was murdered and who was responsible for his assassination.
2. Provide a brief summary of the topic. Explain the current issues surrounding the topic and share at least two different positions on the topic. As this is a summary, this section should be written in your own words; however, you must first conduct research to complete this section. Find at least two sources that offer differing perspectives on this topic and summarize their points of view. In your summary, also explain who the author or publishing organization is and how he, she, or it relates to the topic. Although we will be learning more about APA style next week, use Chapter 28 in your textbook and our APA class tutorials to provide full references for both sources.
President Kennedy was assassinated on November 22,1963, in Dallas, TX. Oct. 26, 2017, was the final deadline for the US Government to release records involving the assassination. The deadline is the result of a law that was passed in 1992. The recent release of some 2,800 documents involving the assassination of President Kennedy, is a chance to answer many lingering questions about one of the most infamous days in US history. It is also a chance to put some unfounded conspiracy theories to rest, and perhaps give life to other theories.

Have Fun But Not Too Much!
“But perhaps the biggest reason why intellectuals excoriated entertainment was that they understood all too well their own precariousness in a world dominated by it. For whatever the overt content of any particular work, entertainment as a whole promulgated an unmistakable theme, one that took dead aim at the intellectual’s most cherished values. That theme was the triumph of the senses over the mind, of emotion over reason, of chaos over order, of the id over the superego, of Dionysian abandon over Apollonian harmony. Entertainment was Plato’s worst nightmare. It deposed the rational and enthroned the sensational and in so doing deposed the intellectual minority and enthroned the unrefined majority.
Therein, for the intellectuals, lay utmost danger and deepest despair. They know that in the end, after all the imprecations had rung down around it, entertainment was less about morality or even aesthetics than about power—the power to replace the old cultural order with a new one, the power to replace the sublime with fun.”—Neal Gabler, Life the Movie: How Entertainment Conquered Reality, Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 1998, page 21.

Truth that Matters to Society
“Scientists must seek not just truth in general but truth that matters, and truths that matter not just to scientists but also to the larger society in which they live and work”
Philip Kitcher, “On the Autonomy of the Sciences,” Philosophy Today, 2004, pp. 51-57.
Consider the Big Picture
“Many people fall for mistaken common beliefs regarding their health because medicine today does not look at the human body as a whole. For many years there has been a trend for doctors to specialize, looking at and treating just one part of the body. We can’t see the forest for the trees. Everything in the human body is interconnected. Just because a component found in a food helps one part of the body function well, it does not mean that it is good for the entire body. When picking your food and drink, consider the big picture. You cannot decide whether a food is good or bad simply by looking at one ingredient found in that food.”

WHAT IS THINKING?
We are such stuff as thoughts are made on.
-ADAPTED FROM SHAKESPEARE
In this book we encourage you to engage your mind and plunge into thinking.
But first, let's meet some powerful thinkers who have preceded us.
Humans were speaking, and thus thinking, many millennia before the
Sumerians, the Egyptians, and the Phoenicians learned to write their thoughts.
The Greeks took their alphabet and burst forth into song, literature, philosophy,
rhetoric, history, art, politics, and science. They needed to know how to argue
their positions in their free democracy, and Corax of Syracuse, perhaps the first
rhetorician, taught them how to use words to pierce into other minds. The
sophists, skeptics, and cynics questioned everything, including their own ques-
tioning. What would our world be like if we still held primitive beliefs such as
Zeus throws thunderbolts? Socrates probed and prodded the Athenians to
think: "The unexamined life is not worth living," he said. And he threw down
to us the ultimate gauntlet: "Know thyself." Plato was so caught up with
Socrates and with the pure power of the mind that he thought we were born

2 CHAPTER 1 • What Is Thinking?
with ideas and that these innate ideas were as close as we could come to divinity.
Plato's pupil, Aristotle, sharpened his senses to make impressive empirical obser-
vations that climbed toward first principles; then he honed his mind into the ab-
solute logic of the syllogism that stepped inexorably, deductively downward.
The Roman rhetoricians, Cicero, Tertullian, and Quintilian needing to
argue their political and legal positions, built massive mental structures that
rivaled Rome's architectural vastness.
The medieval thinkers, mental to a point that matched their ethereal (heav-
enly) thinking, created mental structures mainly based on Plato, fortified with
the logic of Aristotle. Aquinas, in his Summa, forged an unmatched mental cre-
ation that, if one grants his premises, still stands as an unassailable mountain of
the mind. In c;ontrast to much of this abstraction was the clean cut of Occam's
razor, slicing off unnecessary entities, and the welcome freshness of Anselm, who
preempted Descartes by stating, "I doubt, therefore I know."
The Renaissance thinkers turned their minds and energies to earthly navi-
gation, sidereal science, art, pleasure, and empire. Some of these thinkers, like
Leonardo da Vinci returned to the Greeks (Archimedes); some, like Montaigne,
recovered rich ore in the Romans, sifted by the skepticism described on a medal
around his neck: Que sai-s je? ("What do I know?") .
Pascal called his whole book of aphorisms Thoughts. Descartes echoed
Anselm-"! think, therefore I arn"-and challenged our pride by telling ...
Cultivating a Culture of Curiosity in our CommunitiesDon Boozer
From the most mundane to the most intriguing queries, the reference librarian’s stock-in-trade relies on satisfying the curiosity of our communities. Curiosity is the spark that ignites creativity and innovation, and “Why?” and “How?” can be two of the most powerful words in our language. As librarians we owe it to our communities to remain curious ourselves and to share our enthusiasm for knowledge with them. This LIBchat will look at the power of curiosity and also provide some concrete, practical suggestions you can take to fan the flames of your own curiosity and that of your community, both inside and outside the library.

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

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.
