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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

VPAB07 Whiteness in Hollywood Films
1. Whiteness in Hollywood Films
The Depiction of Whiteness in Hollywood
From classic to modern times:
1. White Women vs. Black Women and
Men
2. White male as superhero
3. White and Black buddies
Jinny C
2. •Difficulty to understand
whiteness?
•Whiteness is not perceived as a
distinctive racial identity
•Therefore, most white Americans
either do not think of their
“whiteness” or think of it as neutral
•White self-representation shows
by interacting with people of
another colour
•“White does not have a colour
until a person of colour enters
the room.”
3. The modern concept of race and the notion of
whiteness were invented during the period of
European colonization of the Americas and
African
The key element to understanding racial thinking
in Hollywood and in much of the world today is
white superiority
4. White Women vs. Black Women/Men
Gone with the Wind in early 1930’s
The movie represents U.S. history (the Civil War)
and U.S. racial relations are supposed to be
about, from a white perspective
Racist Film white=heroes / black=stereotyped
as loyal servants or mammies
The position white women occupy over black men
as well as black women

5. Gone with the Wind
White Woman -Scarlett Black Woman -Mammy
6. Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner
(1960)
The images of African Americans have changed
very significantly from those of Gone with the
Wind
More Hollywood movies accept the image of
intelligence, seriousness, and commitment for
African Americans image
Pressures of African American and other civil
rights protestors for racial discrimination in the
America since the 1950s
7. Mythic Superhero
Heroic white self as a type of “messiah” figure for
people of colour, who saves them from misfortune
He finds himself by self-sacrifice to liberate the
natives
The messiah is marked by charisma, the
extraordinary quality that legitimizes his role as
leader in the foreign population

8. Indiana Jones: The White Messiah
Defeats Evil Religion (1984)
The main character represents the mythic white
American hero, with doctorates in linguistics or
archaeology respecting other cultures
By knowing languages, he can communicate with
the natives
Most important, this fictional character is
kind, fearless to risk his life for people of an
oppressed race, the polar opposite of real-life
colonial masters
9. Ninja Assassin (2009)
Mythic superhero as Asian
This shows the change of taste for audience that
the role of white people can be not the
protagonist, but also others
10. Black and White Buddies:
Men in Black and the new
immigrants
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvElfpgfLpc&featur
e=related
The opening scene is intended to neutralize the
notion that the movie is anti-immigrant
The U.S. Immigration Service stops a truck in the
South Western desert and uncovers a group of
Mexicans hiding in the back
The MiB arrive and take charge, taking aside one
large Mexican man for questioning exposed as a
hideous alien, hiding inside another!
Whereas the MiB agent K speaks Spanish and is kind
to the Mexicans, whom he welcomes to the United
State, he kills the evil alien when it attacks
11. Men in Black and the new
immigrants
The movie is thus an allegory about the
new, “exotic” immigration to the United States
from Latin America and Asia and our need to
distinguish between “good” immigrants- those
who can assimilate into American society- and
“evil” ones- those who are supposedly
inassimilable, criminals, or terrorists
12. The Authoritarian Assumptions of
Men in Black
The movie seems acceptable because it
introduces the white-black partnership that at the
end, the white agent is replaced by the black man
However, he still works under the largely white
male organization
Therefore, “Men in Black” could be seen as J is
simply the black man who is inextricable from his
race and serves the white male organization
13. Conclusion
The depiction of whiteness in Hollywood movies
that has been changed over the past decades
Engagement in diversity through classic to
modern Hollywood
Not only the representation of white self image
has been changed, but also the expectation of
audience for white people has been changed too
The growing American minority population and
the non-white world will pressure Hollywood to be
more inclusive and respectful in its racial and
ethnic representations
