Week 1- A brief introduction to the world literature.pptxssuser438f97
This document provides an overview of the World Literature Before 1660 curriculum. It discusses what literature is, the importance of literature, and the periods and works that will be covered in the course. Literature is defined as written and sometimes spoken works that allow people to learn about past cultures and understand the human experience. The course will cover ancient Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Hebrew, and Greek literature from the archaic to classical periods, including important works like the Epic of Gilgamesh and texts by Homer, Sappho, and Aesop. Students are expected to attend class, write summaries and commentaries, give presentations, and take tests.
Athens was the intellectual center of Greece and invented democracy in 508 BC. Citizens met monthly in the Assembly to discuss state affairs, with no government decisions made without consulting them. Athens experienced growth in culture, arts, and economy during this period. However, it eventually fell under Macedonian and Roman rule. The territory struggled until becoming Greece's capital in 1834.
The Works That Have Impacted The Art World And Have Made...Nicolle Dammann
Ancient Egypt was a highly advanced civilization located along the Nile River in Northeast Africa. It is known for its stable agriculture, social hierarchy, division of labor, government system, and sophisticated culture. The Egyptians created diverse art forms across many mediums to represent their vivid lifestyles and beliefs, including paintings, woodwork, pottery, stonework, and jewelry. Massive statues of pharaohs and gods were constructed to demonstrate power and honor the afterlife. While Egyptian art was initially created for royalty, it provides the best remaining glimpse into their once-great civilization.
Early civilizations developed monumental architecture like ziggurats and pyramids to demonstrate power and unify cultures. Elites promoted arts that decorated temples and palaces. Writing systems independently arose in places like Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the Indus Valley and spread between cultures. Legal codes standardized rules but also stratified societies, as seen in Hammurabi's code treating classes differently. Literature like the Epic of Gilgamesh and Rig Veda reflected each culture. Trade of goods between Mesopotamia and Indus Valley linked regions. Overall, culture helped unify states by establishing shared symbols, laws, and economic ties while also reinforcing social hierarchies.
The document provides information about ancient river valley civilizations, including Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the Indus Valley. It discusses the key characteristics and features of each civilization, such as their geography, governments, economies, social structures, and innovations. Students are asked questions to assess their understanding of topics like Mesopotamian laws, Egyptian pharaohs, and the Indus Valley's economy. The document uses images, diagrams, and text to convey information about these early civilizations in a comprehensive manner.

The document uses images, diagrams, and text to convey details about these early human societies that emerged along major rivers.
Ancient Chinese civilization began along the Yellow River valley around 4000 BC. The Chinese invented silk by cultivating silkworms, and traded silk internationally. They also made early advances in astronomy, recording solar eclipses as early as 2137 BC. The Chinese invented paper using a process of pasting silk, wool or cotton fibers, which was then adopted in other regions like Muslim Spain in the Middle Ages. Overall, the Chinese river valley civilization showed early technological innovations.

Write (2000 word) APA format paper with intext citation and reference page. Focus the paper on a selected text from the Book of Acts.
The early days of the Church could not be characterized as easy for those who proclaimed Christ as Savior. For the most part, Roman authorities were tolerant of other religions as long as those belief systems included an homage to the Roman emperor; however, the Romans became increasingly hostile towards Christians as they refused to take a syncretic approach to worship. But despite persecution, the followers of Christ increased in number. What facilitated this growth? As believers, we know that the Church’s growth is of the Lord and that we can learn from His work in the lives of early Christians. For this assignment, you will consider the role of organizational structure and explore
(a) how the early Christian Communities were structured to flourish in hostile environments, and
(b) how contemporary organizations can utilize these principles.

Write (2000 word) APA format paper with intext citation and refe.docxdunnramage
Write (2000 word) APA format paper with intext citation and reference page. Focus the paper on a selected text from the Book of Acts.
The early days of the Church could not be characterized as easy for those who proclaimed Christ as Savior. For the most part, Roman authorities were tolerant of other religions as long as those belief systems included an homage to the Roman emperor; however, the Romans became increasingly hostile towards Christians as they refused to take a syncretic approach to worship. But despite persecution, the followers of Christ increased in number. What facilitated this growth? As believers, we know that the Church’s growth is of the Lord and that we can learn from His work in the lives of early Christians. For this assignment, you will consider the role of organizational structure and explore
(a) how the early Christian Communities were structured to flourish in hostile environments, and
(b) how contemporary organizations can utilize these principles.

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.
