The document summarizes key points from Chapter 3 about books and censorship:
1) Early colonists from 1620-1700s were generally poor, uneducated, illiterate and saw books as luxuries rather than necessities. The 1765 Stamp Act taxed printed materials, angering colonial printers who used their presses to spread anti-tax messages and fuel the Revolutionary War.
2) Censorship threatens freedom of speech by suppressing information deemed objectionable. Common books targeted by censors in US schools include To Kill a Mockingbird and Harry Potter.
3) "Aliteracy" describes those with reading ability but unwillingness to read, undermining the value of knowledge and ideas in

Presented at Louisiana Library Association 2023 Conference:
Censorship and book bans are the singular challenges facing public libraries right now. Attempts to ban or censor materials come in many shapes and from several different directions. When they originate with concerned parents or community members, it is always important to engage in difficult conversations. But when they become politicized or are performative, it is necessary to understand that they may be driven by an agenda. EveryLibrary, the national political action committee for libraries, assists libraries across the country when board meetings are being hijacked, politicians are using book challenges to defund the library, and librarians are under direct personal attacks. In the first session, John Chrasttka, executive director of EveryLibrary, will share practical, actionable tips to prepare your board and staff, manage crisis communications, evaluate policies, and activate allies to protect your library and your readers.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

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.

Unit 8 - Information and Communication Technology (Paper I).pdfThiyagu K
This slides describes the basic concepts of ICT, basics of Email, Emerging Technology and Digital Initiatives in Education. This presentations aligns with the UGC Paper I syllabus.
2. AGENDA
•We’ll cover some basics of
Chapter 3: BOOKS and use the
concept of censorship to
jumpstart class discussion
3-2
3. Early Colonists
•Why were the early (1620 – the mid-
1700s) colonists not a book-reading
population?
•They tended to be poor, uneducated and largely
illiterate
•Reading = a luxury they had little time for
•Books were symbols of wealth and status and were
not important to people who considered themselves
pioneers, servants of the Lord, or anti-English
colonists
•Lack of portability
3-3
4. Stamp Act
What was the Stamp Act? Why did
colonial printers object to it?
The 1765 Stamp Act mandated that all printing be
done on paper stamped with the government seal.
This would also control and limit expression in the
increasingly restless Colonies.
Printers objected to this affront on their freedom
and the steep cost of the tax – it would often double
the price of a publication – so they used their
printers to print anti-tax and anti-government
accounts and literature, ironically fueling the fire that
eventually resulted in the Revolutionary War.
3-4
5. Print & the War of Independence
By the mid-1770s anti-British sentiment
had reached its climax
Pamphlets motivated and coalesced political
dissent
After the War of Independence, printing
became central to cultural life in major cities
Books were still expensive, often costing the
equivalent of a working person’s weekly pay
Literacy still considered a luxury
6. Important Cultural Resource
BOOKS ARE…
Agents of social and cultural
change
An important cultural repository of
knowledge
Windows on the past/Mirrors of
Culture
Important sources of personal
development
Wonderful sources of
entertainment, escape and personal
reflection
3-6
7. Censorship
•What is censorship?
•the suppression of speech, mass media,
public communication or other
information which may be considered
objectionable, harmful, sensitive,
politically incorrect or inconvenient as
determined by governments, media
outlets, authorities or other groups or
institutions
3-7
8. Censorship
•Among the library and school books most
targeted by modern censors in the United
States are:
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
The Harry Potter series
Of Mice and Men
The Color Purple
The Lord of the Rings
Frankenstein
3-8
9. Censorship
• Censorship threatens our citizens’ FIRST AMENDMENT
RIGHT of Freedom of Speech - the right to communicate one's
opinions and ideas without fear of government retaliation or
censorship.
• What are the other FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS?
• The First Amendment (Amendment I) to the United States
Constitution prohibits the making of any law respecting an
establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of
religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on
the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to
peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a
governmental redress of grievances. It was adopted on
December 15, 1791, as one of the ten amendments that
constitute the Bill of Rights.
3-9
13. Aliteracy + Students
•According to one survey, many college students
chose not to read because they felt they didn't
need to read to "get by". They were only interested
in putting in the least amount of reading, and at the
same time expected an "A" in the class. These
students in the survey also claimed that their
reading habits were learned from their parents,
who also were not very interested in reading, or
who did not wholly value the reading of books.
These students did not correlate reading with
advancement of knowledge.
3-13
14. Aliteracy & Censorship
• Aliteracy as Self-Censorship: Censors ban and
burn books because books are repositories of
ideas, ideas that can be read and considered
with limited outside influence or official
supervision.
• But what kind of culture develops when, by our
own refusal to read books, we figuratively save
the censors the trouble of striking the match?
Aliteracy, wherein people possess the ability to
read but are unwilling to do so, amounts to doing
the censors' work for them.
3-14
15. TRENDING FUTURE OF BOOKS
• PLATFORM AGNOSTICISM
• P-O-D = Publishing/Printing on Demand
• E-Publishing & E-Books = a major trend in the
mass media book industry
• E-PUBLISHING: The publication of books initially
or exclusively online
• E-BOOKS: books downloaded in electronic form from
the Internet to computers, dedicated readers, or
mobile digital devices
• What might a “book” be like in the
future?
3-15
