The song "Freedom" by Rage Against the Machine tells the story of Leonard Peltier, an American Indian Movement leader who was framed by the FBI and imprisoned for 20 years. Rage Against the Machine often uses their music to discuss political and social issues. The band performs the song energetically while dressed as prisoners to portray the loss of freedom. The lyrics and music criticize how the US government and corporations convince people they are free while blinding them to other realities.

Hip Hop Culture on Good Influence
Hip hop refers to rap music, a genre of popular music developed by Latin and
Afro-Americans in the United States in the 1970s. It was that time in the history of the USA
when block parties were getting popular because rap music was promoting the cultural
movement in the most influential art form. While many people have a stereotype of hip-hop
culture, they think that hip-hop culture symbolizes dark and negative elements, such as drugs,
gangs, and murder, but in fact, hip-hop is a culture with a lot of positive value and influence.
Many raps convey a positive influence, such as Drake's God's plan. Some rapper songs are also
persuading people to stay away from violence, receive school education, help others, take care of
their families and change their destiny. And hip-hop artists are a way for many underrepresented
groups to speak out. They use hip-hop music to express their social and political issues and
attitudes. And hip-hop culture brings people together in different ways.
In the context of the origin of hip hop culture, it has been observed that cultural aspects
such as break dancing and graffiti were known to be the first aspects that caught the greater
public attention. A teenage Greek American, in 1972, started a graffiti movement by signing his
name and address on the walls of the subway system throughout New York City. The same

sparked many actions, till 1975, that rendered the names of individuals by spraying colors and
paintings on the wall, which ultimately led to influential art dealers all across Europe, the US,
and Japan to display graffiti in art galleries. Meanwhile, turntable manipulation techniques were
being developed by deejays by playing short drum brakes, which created a rhythmic effect
known as scratching. In the US, rap first came as a prominent genre of music on the national
level by the release of the song "Rappers Delight'" by Sugarhill Gang in 1979. In the context of
the timeline of the hip-hop culture, the most notable event that led to the initiation of this
movement in the incident of Kool Herc holding his hip-hop parties in 1973. In 1979, the first
recorded rap song was released, followed by Curtis Blows single "The Breaks" massive sales in
1980. The last "old school" hip hop party was held by Kool Herc in 1984, and 'The Show" was
created by Doue E. Fresh in 1985. Later in 1986, Run DMC remixes like "Walk This Way" led
to the opening of hip hop to new audiences, and gangster rap was also formed at the same time.
Furthermore, in 1992, "The Chronic" was written by Dr Dre that launched him and labeled him
as a hip-hop icon in the world of rap music. Besides, the contemporary age of hip-hop culture
has begun in the 2000s. According to Complex, 2021, Kanye West is one of the successful

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
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 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.

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.
2. The song “Freedom” by Rage Against the Machine was a hit single in 1994. The band would normally close their shows playing "Freedom" due to the infamous breakdown followed by an intense ending. Rage Against the Machine is well known for tying in political and social aspects to their lyrics. Although the song has a meaning, this song tells the story of a man named Leonard Peltier, and how his freedom was taken away.

4. “We have written frequently about the uprising and repression in Oaxaca in the past several months, and we once briefly mentioned part of the spark for the government crackdown: the high-profile murder of one American. That American was a passionate, adventurous activist and independent journalist named Brad Will. Will seemed to be at the center of every major ruckus: the WTO protests in Seattle, police raids on squats in New York City, tree-sitting actions in Oregon, anti-globalization marches in Quebec, Genoa, and Prague, and most recently, documenting struggles for justice in Latin America. Will was murdered by police thugs in Oaxaca, in an effort to terrorize the people who were fighting to throw a corrupt dictator out of office. Journalist to the end, Will had his camera in hand and rolling as the bullets struck him, and he managed to document his own horrific murder.” -Said band Member Brad Will-
5. The music of Rage Against the Machine contains the political and social views of the band members. Each member of the band contributes to the views and emotions expressed through lyrics or tones set through the music. Although some views differ, the feeling is overall strong and apparent to what the band wants to get across. They are very strong about defending constitutional rights of the individual and large groups of deprived people. Such as rights that are being taken away on the domestic front, or even freedoms that are being subjected in foreign nations. ( Zack de la Roche, pg. 1 ), Rage against the machine is for all Humanity's freedom and equal rights in the face of man. The members of Rage Against the Machine each bring diversity and strong political views into the music they produce. Hence why the song and its lyrics are very intense and bring across a strong point, which helps the listener understand that of what is most important. ( Zach de la Roche, pg. 3 ), Each member is unique in his childhood background and his introduction to music. It is important to understand their backgrounds to fully understand their passion for political justice. Rage against the machine uses both strong verbal tones and powerful visual images that help portray the specific political topic in which they are addressing." .
6. Clad in Guantanamo-style orange jumpsuits with black hoods cinched over their heads and their hands behind their backs, Rage Against the Machine were led onstage to deafening air raid sirens and cheers in Minneapolis last night. The band faced the crowd for a second — as if waiting for a firing squad — before their instruments were placed in their hands"
7. LYRICS Uggh! Pull, pull Wuh! Come on! Uggh!

Freedom...yeeeaaahhh! Freedom! Yeeeaaahhh! Freedom! Yea right! Freedom! Yeeeaaahhh! Freedom! Yea! Right!
8. Rage against the machine typically writes and produces song that have to deal with world issues and problems, they tend to tie these issues into their lyrics. This song is focused on Leonard Peltier, the American Indian Movement leader who was framed by the FBI and has rotted in a jail cell for the past 20 years. The general theme of this song is how the US government, media, and corporations are able to convince Americans they have their "freedom" while secretly blinding them to any other reality, which makes the freedom seem so much more of a reality.
