This document summarizes research conducted on veganism. It begins by asking what people know about veganism, finding they are well-informed about vegans not consuming meat, dairy or other animal products. It then asks opinions on the vegan lifestyle, finding mixed opinions on health and effort required. Most interviewed were not vegans or considering becoming vegan. Main reasons for becoming vegan included not wanting to contribute to animal cruelty, while main reasons for not becoming vegan included not wanting to give up meat/dairy and difficulty adapting. The animal product most missed was cheese. Most had tried vegan substitutes and were satisfied with taste, though some products were better than others. Secondary research defined vegan

Ethics Beyond the Plate presentation by Leigh-Chantelle at Bali Vegan FestivalLeigh-Chantelle
Leigh-Chantelle from Viva la Vegan! gives her Ethics Beyond the Plate presentation at the 2nd Bali Vegan Festival.
Sunday 9 October
Ubud, Bali, Indonesia
The blurb:
With the mainstream media watering down the meaning of veganism with it's dietary, fitness and weight-loss focus, is the vegan movement losing its core ethics? There are many reasons and benefits to go - and stay - vegan. Including the environment, labour rights, human rights, animal rights, ethics, feminism, and other intersectionality issues. How can we learn from other social justice movements to move forward in a more inclusive and intersectional way? If more people stay vegan long-term due to ethical reasons, how can we promote consciousness-raising, non-oppression, non-objectification, and anti-consumerism for and beyond the vegan lifestyle?
Find out more about how we can work together as vegans and activists to promote inclusivity, learn from other movements, and lead by example to promote compassion to ALL we encounter. Learn how to become a more effective activist and make these much-needed changes with Leigh-Chantelle's Ethics Beyond the Plate talk.
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 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.

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

Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
3. What do you know about veganism?
• From my first question, I felt
that my audience was quite
well informed about veganism
and know a lot about what they
do and stand for. “Veganism is
about causing least harm as
possible” People also went on
to list a variety of things vegans
do not consume such as meat
and dairy products. They also
mentioned other animal
products such as leather.
4. What are your opinions on the vegan lifestyle?
• I had split range of answers for
this question as some people
believed that the vegan
lifestyle is unhealthy and a lot
of effort as it does not stop the
way animals are treat. While
others believe the guilt free
lifestyle is very healthy for the
plant, mind and body. “I love it!
No better feeling than causing
no harm to animals and I've
never felt healthier"
5. Are you a vegan or ever considered becoming a
vegan?
• The majority of my
audience are not or would
not want to be vegan
while one individual would
“be a vegetarian”. The rest
of my audience are already
vegan. This gives my
questionnaire more of a
balance between the
answers I receive from
both perspectives.
6. If yes, what are your main reasons for becoming
vegan?
• Both of my audiences
reasons for becoming a
vegan was due to the
cruel way animals are
treat and could not live
with the guilt of eating
products from animals.
“became vegan after a
friend educated me
about the harsh truth of
the dairy industry.”
7. If no, what are your main reasons for not
becoming a vegan?
• The majority of my
audience could not give
up animal products
such as meat and dairy,
while others could not
think of what they could
eat as a vegan and
would find it very time
consuming and difficult
to adapt to.
8. What would be or is the animal products you
miss the most?
• The main animal product
people would miss if they
became vegan is cheese. I also
found that chocolate and meat
would be what others miss. One
individuals response was suede
shoes which I found interesting
as I feel the majority only think
about the food we get from
animals. One individual was
very happy with vegan
alternatives and does not miss
any animal products.
9. Have you ever tried any vegan substitutes and
what are they like?
• The majority of my
audience had tried vegan
products and were
satisfied with the taste.
Some products were better
than others, where as
some people try to keep
their diet as natural as
possible. A small number of
my audience had not tried
an vegan substitutes.
11. Veganism definition
• Summary:
• I found from the vegan society website a lot more about a vegan
lifestyle and how effects all different aspects in life rather than
just diet. I found there is a wide range of substitutes to animal
products and alternatives not only in diet, but also with clothing
and make up. As all mediation in the UK must be tested on
animals, vegans are not encourage to avoid it “The Vegan Society
DOES NOT recommend you avoid medication prescribed to you
by your doctor - a dead vegan is no good to anyone!” instead
they ;look for mediation that does not contain gelatin or lactose.
Animals used for entertainment purposes are also not supported
by vegans.

18. Health risks
• Quotes from Veganuary website:
• “Anaemia has many different causes; inherited conditions, alcohol,
certain prescription drugs, heavy periods, nutritional problems, some
chronic diseases and malabsorption states, to name a few.”
• “From a nutritional point of view, anaemia can be caused by a
dietary deficiency of folic acid, vitamin B12 or iron. As a vegan,
vitamin B12 is the only vitamin that needs to be taken either as a
regular oral supplement, or by regular intake of fortified foods. There
is plenty of folic acid in a healthy vegan diet, the primary sources
being green leafy vegetables, citrus fruits, beans, peas, pulses and
nuts.”
• “Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional cause of anaemia. It
is estimated that 3% of men and 8% of women in the UK have iron
deficiency anaemia (whether vegan or not).”

• Summary
• This questions answers if
veganism or extreme or
not. The answer makes a
good point that it seems
extreme as it is out of the
norm of the majority.
Vegan food is made out of
everyday ingredients and is
easily assessable.

21. Extreme lifestyle
• Quotes from Veganuary website:
• “It depends on how you think about it. In the context of a
world that habitually uses and consumes animals, choosing
not to do so can seem extreme – but only because it differs
from what most people do.”
• “However, our society also provides us with plant-based foods
that are abundant, affordable, tasty, nutritious and easy to
prepare, and considering this it actually seems rather extreme
to farm and slaughter animals when so many alternatives are
available.”
• “Vegan food itself is not extreme and is mostly made from
everyday ingredients that happen to be plant-based – such as
beans, whole grains, nuts and common vegetables.”
22. • Validation of sources:
• No sources are referenced for this answer, it is
more just a generalisation and point of view of
vegans. I can make sure the information is correct
by finding other sources however, from what I
already know about the topic the answer does
seem correct.
• Further research:
• To further my research I can find out more opinions
on this question of extremism and look for research
into how it effects your health.

24. Changing to vegan
• Quotes from Veganuary website:
• “The majority of vegans were brought up eating
meat and viewed eating animal products as normal
for at least their early childhood.”
• “Being brought up with particular foods doesn’t
mean you need to continue eating them, and many
childhood ‘comfort foods’ can be successfully
veganised with a few simple ingredient
replacements.”
25. • Validation of sources:
• I feel that this source is more personal
opinion/reason compared to being backed up by
any evidence. However, due to the nature of the
question I do agree with the response.
• Further research:
• I could further this research by looking for some
more peoples opinions on this question.

27. Changing to vegan
• Quotes from Veganuary website:
• “Any diet needs to be carefully planned to ensure correct nutrition, and
with growing children this becomes even more important.”
• “However, there is no evidence to show that children eating a balanced,
properly supplemented vegan diet are any less healthy than meat or dairy-
eating children.”
• “In fact, vegan parents are often better informed about nutrition and well-
cared for vegan kids may eat healthier than many omnivorous ones whose
diet often includes too much junk food and not enough fruit and
vegetables.”
• “The most important thing to bear in mind is that the low-fat, high-fibre
diet recommended for adults (which a plant-based diet is perfect for) is not
suitable for children.”
• “Growing kids burn a lot of energy and need a high calorie intake; too
much fibre will cause small stomachs to feel full before they’ve actually got
enough.”
28. • Validation of sources:
• The sources used to create this answer are listed and
hyperlinked throughout the article and takes me to

• Summary
• I found this article very interesting as it is
a controversial subject for vegans. As
medication must be tested on animals,
they face the risk of not getting better or
having to take the medication that has
been forced upon animals. It advises
vegans to take medication prescribed by
the doctor as they should put themselves
first.

Therefore consumers cannot choose between

• “The situation is different with regard to cosmetics
and some household products, where consumers
can choose to boycott animal tested products and
choose cruelty free ones.”
• “the fact that medicines have been tested on
animals does not guarantee their safety or
effectiveness in humans.”
31. • Validation of sources:
• A medical website is linked to the answer to
help vegans find out more about medication
and healthier,safer alternatives.
• Further research:
• I can further by looking more at the website
linked and finding out others opinions on the
subject.

33. Vitamin B12
• Quotes from Veganuary website:
• “It’s true that human beings evolved the ability to digest
a wide range of foods including meat, but this isn’t the
same as needing meat for survival.”
• “This vitamin is present in animal products, but it isn’t
made by the animals themselves, it’s created by bacteria
that live inside them.”
• “The B12 used in vegan supplements or fortified foods
such as Marmite is made by ‘farming’ the bacteria directly
and harvesting the vitamin, so it’s the same substance
made in exactly the same way.”
34. • Validation of sources:
• Their is no sources for this answer but it is linked
to the other page on the website. I can make
sure this is correct by further research.
• Further research:
• To further my research, I can find out more
information about Vitamin B12 from other, more

• “a whole new world of exciting, compassionate and guilt-free food opened
up to me.”
• “It all started out in a beautiful haze of green veg, seitan and flax seed”
• “I’ve watched Earthlings and Cowspiracy. I’ve got my vegan truths and
facts right.”
• “I know that dairy is just about the cruelest industry ever to exist, yet those
crisps, yogurt-coated cereal bars and milk chocolate covered toffees cry to
me quietly every evening.”
• “I confess, when I’m tired, hungry and emotionally drained I have forsaken
all I know to be true and eaten those little packages of cruelty.”
• “I refuse to beat myself up about this as I genuinely believe that being any-
percent vegan is better than none. I also think that this is a journey and so I
expect to have times when the road is more difficult to travel than others.”
37. • Validation of sources:
• Validation of sources is not needed as this article
comes from a vegan themselves who will know a lot
about the lifestyle and can compare it to being an
omnivore as they have experienced both.
• Further research:
• I can further my research by looking for more articles
of peoples personal experiences of veganism.

39. Vegan diet
• NHS quotes:
• “A vegan diet contains only plants – such as vegetables, grains, nuts and fruits – and
foods made from plants.”
• “You should be able to get most of the nutrients you need from eating a varied and
balanced vegan diet.
A healthy vegan diet contains:
-plenty of fruit and vegetables
-plenty of starchy foods
-some non-dairy sources of protein, such as beans and pulses
-some dairy alternatives, such as fortified soya drinks
-just a small amount of fatty and sugary foods”
• “With good planning and an understanding of what makes up a healthy, balanced vegan
diet, you can get all the nutrients your body needs.”
• “During pregnancy and when breastfeeding, women who follow a vegan diet need to
make sure they get enough vitamins and minerals for their child to develop healthily. ”
• “If you're bringing up your baby or child on a vegan diet, you need to ensure they get a
wide variety of foods to provide the energy and vitamins they need for growth."

each day. In fact, research has shown that vegans have average
iron intakes that are similar to or higher than those of non-vegans,
and higher than the recommended daily allowance.”
• “It's recommended by the UK's Department of Health that adults
receive between 8.7mg - 14.8mg a day dependent on factors such as
menstruation.”
• “Good plant sources of iron include dried fruits, whole grains
(including wholemeal bread), nuts, green leafy vegetables, seeds
and pulses. Other foods rich in iron but which are usually eaten in
smaller amounts include soya, some flours, parsley, watercress,
black molasses and edible seaweeds. ”

47. • Vegan society quotes:
• “You need to include foods rich in vitamin C to help
your body absorb the iron in your meals. Vitamin C
is found in colourful fruits and vegetables such as
oranges, potatoes, cabbage, green leafy vegetables,
blackcurrants, broccoli, mango, kiwis and parsley.”
• “Caffeine and tannins can inhibit the body's
absorption of iron so it's best to avoid drinking tea,
coffee or cola at meal times. Stick to fruit juice or
water instead.”

247 billion beef burgers have been sold.”

cow.”

million cows slaughtered so far!”

67,680 cows per day!!”

rather than the meat industry itself.
