It is a stream of social sciences and commerce.
It is a study of production, consumption, distribution and regulation of flow of goods and services in an economy.
It has a direct relation with money.
It studies the economic aspect of goods and services provided in the economy.
It is a wider concept and hence affects the overall conditions of the economy.
It has two major segments: micro and macro. It is derived from Greek word ‘Mikros’.
It creates efficiency and smoothens up the process of final consumption of goods and services.
It tries to understand the problems that occur while producing, distributing and consuming a product.
It deepens our understanding.
Consumption is a broader term and it is the essence of economics. Economists generally consider consumption to be the final purpose of economic activity, hence consumption per person is a central measure of an economy’s productive success.
Consumption in economics means utilization of a product or a commodity and to derive benefits from the same. The utility of a product will help us in satisfying our needs and hence it is consumption.
Consumption can be defined in different ways, but is usually best described as the final purchase of goods and services by individuals. The purchase of a new pair of shoes, a burger at the fast food restaurant, or the service of getting your house cleaned are all examples of consumption.
It is a state of maximum satisfaction from a consumption.
A producer will obtain the stage of equilibrium when he will get maximum profit from his production.
In economics, economic equilibrium is a state where economic forces such as supply and demand are balanced and in the absence of external influences the (equilibrium) values of economic variables will not change.
Equilibrium occurs at the point at which quantity demanded and quantity supplied are equal. Market equilibrium in this case refers to a condition where a market price is established through competition.
This price is often called the competitive price or market clearing price and will tend not to change unless demand or supply changes and the quantity is called "competitive quantity" or market clearing quantity.
The law of diminishing marginal utility is a law of economics stating that as a person increases consumption of a product while keeping consumption of other products constant, there is a decline in the marginal utility that person derives from consuming each additional unit of that product.

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
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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 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.

6. Cardinal Utility
It assume that utility is measurable or quantifiable that is it can be measured in
some units.
• According to this approach , how much utility a consumer obtains from goods
can be expressed in cardinal numbers such as 1,2,3 and so forth.
• It is expressed as a quantity measured in units which are called utils.
• Example: It can be said that an apple has 10 utils and mango has 5 utils.It
implies that utility of apple is twice that of a mango.
7. Ordinal Utility
Ordinal utility approach is purely subjective and is immeasurable.
• Preferences among goods can be ranked using ordinal numbers such as
first, second , third etc.
• Utility from one source may be ‘equal to’ ’more than’ or ‘less than’ utility
from another source. But it is not possible to state the difference in
absolute or numeric units.
8. Total utility & Marginal utility
Total utility: It is the sum total of utilities of all units of a commodity
consumed at a particular time
• It is the utility of the entire commodity
Marginal utility: is the change in total utility on account of one
additional unit utilized
Marginal Utility=TUn- TUn-1
10. Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility
The law states that marginal utility of a
commodity diminishes as an individual consume
more and more of the commodity.
That is, as we consume more and more of
commodity the utility derived from the addition
unit diminishes.
11. Contd..
• The law states that as the stock of commodity increases with the consumer,
its marginal utility to the consumer decreases.
• It can eventually fall to zero and become even negative.
• If consumption keeps on increasing, marginal utility actually become
negative, negative marginal utility means disutility - the product become
bad, no good.
12.
13.
14. The following table shows the total and marginal utilities derived by a person from
the consumption of oranges
• The table shows that as the consumption of oranges increases marginal utility falls.
• That is, total utility is increasing at a diminishing rate.
• However, when number of oranges consumed increases to seven, marginal utility
becomes negative and total utility starts declining
17. Assumptions in Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility
• The utility is measurable(cardinal
• Homogenous unit
• Size
• Consumption is normal
• Continuous Consumption
• Type of commodity is used for consumption at a time
• Rational human being and aims at maximum satisfaction
18. Assumptions in Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility
• The utility is measurable(cardinal)
• All the units of the given commodity are homogenous that is identical in
size, shape, quantity , quality etc
• The unit of consumption are of reasonable size
• The consumption is normal
• The consumption is continuous
• The law assumes that only one type of commodity is used for
consumption at a time
• The consumer is rational human being and aims at maximum satisfaction
19. Applications of the Law of DMU
• The law of diminishing marginal utility is the basic law of consumption.
• The law of demand and law of equi-marginal utility are based on it.
• The law explains the basis of price fixation in the market and validates what is
called ‘water-Diamond paradox’. why water is priced lesser than diamond even if it
is a luxury good? Due to its scarcity, diamond possesses high MU and hence the
higher price whereas water is relatively abundant having lesser MU and hence the
lower price.
• The law helps to explain the phenomenon that the price of a commodity falls
when its supply increases. It is because with the increase in the stock of commodity
,its marginal utility diminishes. In this way prices are determined.
20. Contd…
• The law of DMU serves as the basis for progressive taxation . The MU of money for
a poor person is higher than that for a rich person, because poor person possesses
little money; therefore the utility derived from each unit of money is huge.
• This implies that rich people are able to pay more as taxes than poor people. Thus
concept leads to progressive taxation system, which imposes heavier tax burden on
the rich.
21. Limitation of law of DMU
• Rare collection (Coins and stamps) and Precious good.
• Money (Never falls to zero)
• If a dress comes in fashion , its utility goes up.
• The law of DMU does not apply in the initial stage.
• All units of the commodity should be homogeneous units.
– Example, the first apple is sour and the second sweet, the second
will give greater satisfaction.
