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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France.

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.
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.

RECORDINGS/MUSIC + FILM
• Pop Culture has long been enmeshed in “History” and
music is no exception; beyond being just a “soundtrack
for our lives”, music can often be so powerful that it
enacts cultural changes that resonate through every
level of society. This documentary takes a close look at
1977 as a pivotal year in the life of New York City,
including how music can be part of the very fabric of
society. Please consider how music can be both a
reflection of, and an influence over various factions of
society and culture, and how such reflection and
influence can impact us all long after songs fall off the
charts…

• What is a “DOCUMENTARY FILM”?
• A documentary film is a nonfictional motion picture
intended to document some aspect of reality,
primarily for the purposes of instruction or
maintaining a historical record.
• Documentaries often explore effects of mass media
while also simultaneously being a form of mass
media themselves. A movie about censoring movies
for example, or a TV show about how TV shows are
important
8. NY77: THE COOLEST YEAR IN HELL =
RECORDINGS/MUSIC + FILM
• TYPES OF DOCUMENTARIES
• Observational documentaries attempt to simply and spontaneously observe lived life with
a minimum of intervention. Often, this mode of film eschewed voice-over commentary,
post-synchronized dialogue and music, or re-enactments. The films aimed for immediacy,
intimacy, and revelation of individual human character in ordinary life situations. TYPICALLY
USES SILENT NARRATION
• Participatory documentaries believe that it is impossible for the act of filmmaking to not
influence or alter the events being filmed. What these films do is emulate the approach of
the anthropologist: participant-observation. Not only is the filmmaker part of the film, we
also get a sense of how situations in the film are affected or altered by their presence.
TYPICALLY USES HOSTED NARRATION
• Performative documentaries stress subjective experience and emotional response to the
world. They are strongly personal, unconventional, perhaps poetic and/or experimental,
and might include hypothetical enactments of events designed to make us experience what
it might be like for us to possess a certain specific perspective on the world that is not our
own. Performative docs often link up personal accounts or experiences with larger political
or historical realities. TYPICALLY USES VOICE-OVER NARRATION
9. NY77: THE COOLEST YEAR IN HELL =
RECORDINGS/MUSIC + FILM
• NARRATION STYLES
Voice-over narration
• The traditional style for narration is to have a dedicated narrator read a script
which is dubbed onto the audio track. The narrator never appears on camera
and may not necessarily have knowledge of the subject matter or involvement
in the writing of the script. TYPICALLY USED IN PERFORMATIVE
DOCUMENTARIES
Silent narration
• This style of narration uses title screens to visually narrate the documentary.
The screens are held for about 5–10 seconds to allow adequate time for the
viewer to read them. They are similar to the ones shown at the end of movies
based on true stories, but they are shown throughout, typically between scenes.
TYPICALLY USED IN OBSERVATIONAL DOCUMENTARIES
Hosted narration
• In this style, there is a host who appears on camera, conducts interviews, and
who also does voice-overs. TYPICALLY USED IN PARTICIPATORY DOCUMENTARIES

•The cultural influence of
hip-hop, punk and disco
lives on in our current

12. NY77: THE COOLEST YEAR IN HELL
• Punk’s lasting influence on society and culture is
undisputed and is also the subject of much
academic and cultural research and critique. It’s
style and energy lives on in modern rock and its
influence can be felt in
• Advertising
• Fashion
• Broadway
• Beyond…
13. • Disco’s lasting influence on society and culture is also
undisputed and the subject of much academic and
cultural research and critique.
• Disco as a musical genre has evolved into House Music
and EDM (WHAT WE STARTED trailer)
• Disco is often sampled into contemporary music
• A Brief History of Sampling:
• A video remix journey through the history of sampling taking in some of
the most noted breaks and riffs of the decades. A chronological journey
from the Beatles' use of the Mellotron in the 60s to the sample dense
hiphop and dance music of the 80s and 90s. Each break is represented by
a vibrating vinyl soundwave exploding into various tracks that sampled it,
each re-use another chapter in the modern narrative.

15. MASS MEDIA AS A ROAD MAP
• And you can also look backward at all types mass
media – including music – and trace its evolution,
lineage, and connections to the current day.
• Doing so provides a kind of cultural road map that
only tells us where mass media has been, but also
where it might likely be going in the future in terms
of themes, concepts, and technology. Yesterday’s
published plays are today’s TV shows movies and
are tomorrow’s virtual reality and interactive
experiences.
• Culture and its mass media always builds on what
came before it. For instance…
17. • Both art forms feature some raw human behaviors and
emotions — sex, jealousy, plotting and killing, to name just a
few.
• Both Shakespeare and hip-hop stretch and shape the usage
of the English language, using imagery and especially
rhythm to tell the story in a powerful way.
• “Shakespeare, like all great poetry, deals with what it means
to be human: love, tragedy, war, violence. Think of Titus
Andronicus -- one guy doesn’t like some other guys, so he
cuts them up and puts them in a pie and feeds them to the
other guys’ parents. If Biggie Smalls told that same story,
people would say, ‘Why is Biggie promoting violence?’ ”
- AKALA, UK Rapper and founder of The Hip-Hop Shakespeare
Company

HIP-HOP’S LINK TO PAST MEDIA
20. MUSIC’S CULTURAL INFLUENCE
• But one could argue that
Hip-Hop’s most enduring
legacy outside of music
might be found in fashion…
• FRESH DRESSED is a terrific
example of how a mass
media message (hip hop
music) can have a larger
impact on culture outside of
its own specific area

MATERIALS section
21. REFLECTIVE PROJECT #3
• We’ve seen several instances in class of Music and how it
can spawn its own culture that, in turn, identifies and
bonds members of that specific group. Now, for
Reflective Project #3, I’m asking you to give THREE
SPECIFIC EXAMPLES of a music genre (Punk, Disco, Hip-
Hop, Trap, Grunge, Metal, Emo, etc.) having an impact
OUTSIDE of its own musical style. For instance, seeing
the genre’s influence in fashion or film or television or
slang/language or visual art or advertising or any other
area of culture that you identify. Again, this is about
recognizing the impact of a musical genre/culture
OUTSIDE of its own specific area.
