Write 3 pages thesis on the topic octavian’s two biggest achievements. Octavian’s achievements of building a strong military and achieving Pax Romana are inextricably linked to each other. His strong military allowed him to achieve the much coveted yet elusive Pax Romana or unprecedented Roman Peace that ensued prosperity, beautification, improvement and Renaissance in the Roman Civilization. Octavian was able to achieve the establishment of a strong military due to the reform program he instituted after being installed as an Emperor of Rome after Julius Caesar was assassinated. Octavian made himself a dictator and founded the principate which is system of monarchy which he headed for life with a strong military under his direct command (BBC). These political conditions allowed him to bring about his greatest achievements as Emperor of the Roman Empire. The military was under the direct of Octavian and it followed that it was strengthened to reinforce the political will of Octavian as a dictator of Rome. A strong military ensured him that his idea of principate which made him a ruler for life will not be threatened and provided stability in the Empire to allow peace to prosper. Among the military reforms that Octavian instituted was the creation of a standing army abroad. His armies abroad took a proactive vigorous military campaign not only to expand the reach of the Roman Empire but also to ward off the possibilities of attacks and/or invasion from barbarians (BBC). In effect, he was able to check the external threat against the Empire even beyond its frontiers that Octavian’s army was able to neutralize them even before becoming a threat. Thus, the removal of the barbarian threat abroad by the expeditionary campaign of his military paved the way for peace or Pax Romana, which is patently Octavian or Augustus Ceasar because of the legacy it created that we still enjoy today in the field of arts, culture and literature whereby it flourished due to the stability, good administration and unprecedented peace that prevailed during Octavian’s rule. Pax Romana or Roman peace did not only meant the relative absence of conflict in the Roman Empire but also meant an efficient administration that allowed the city to flourish. The absence of anxiety of an impending conflict enabled the Empire to focus its energy on reconstruction and improvement both among the governed and the government of Octavian. In the administration aspect, Pax Romana brought and effective civil service system which was created for the able Romans to have a career in governance and thus, public administration became effective. Taxation was also made reasonable contrary to Octavian’s predecessor who taxed excessively. This reinforced the atmosphere of peace since there was no dissent among the population that could be wrought up by harsh taxation. Thus, there was also no internal threat because the citizens were generally content with the taxation and civil administration of Octavian. Peace was further reinforced by the establishment of a permanent police force and fire brigade to ensure the peace and order and to effectively respond to any fire disaster in the city. As a result, Rome became safer, more beautiful, cleaner with happier citizens. Pax Romana or Roman Peace also paved the way for stability and provided the necessary atmosphere for culture, arts and beatification to flourish. The legendary poets such as Virgil, Horace and Propertius, flourished and became the poets of the day.

This paper seeks to elaborate on UK based soap operas, and their conveyance of social responsibility and moral values.Soap operas derive their tag from their history with soap manufacturers who were the key sponsors of these programs. This genre of television shows refers to dramatic media productions that focus on abstract dramatic events that are intertwined. These programs are made up of many linked stories that unfold over many episodes. The classical characteristic of these programs is the unique way in which every episode ends in suspense. This creates a promise of another twist on the story. This leads to people getting hooked and craving for more thus leading to popularity of these programs amongst its viewers (Silverstone, 1994).These television series have a wide fan base in the United Kingdom since time immemorial.

Create a 7 pages page paper that discusses creating perceptions of reality through words and experience. Doyle’s essay introduces a type of reality by associating with the movement across boundaries by the use of words. He does this by showing how ideas and the definition of how one believes shows in the actions that they take through their life. The learning of words also shows assimilation into the cultures and relationships that we hold with others and the way that we intertwine with the relationships that are portrayed. The beliefs that Doyle presents are able to show how words are more than a definition or term that can be used for intellect or writing. More importantly, the idea of words creates an association with a specific moment, belief or action that one holds at a deeper level within their life. Doyle refers to the words that one owns (700) to show the close association with the words that define our identity, who we are, actions that one takes and the descriptions that one leaves in their memories.Doyle proves the concept of identity by using the interchange of the word ‘woo’ into ‘who’, ‘no,’ and other words that are said are first perceived by a child and wife as learning the sounds and phonetics of a word. However, Doyle shows that this is not only important in the learning of words, syllables and the placing together of words. More importantly, there is a relationship with the family and the relationship that each has to the other. Doyle describes the learning of words toward his son, for instance, as a-wooing. He then relates this to his wife and the way that they relate to the other. The different experiences that are created through the use of words are able to create a specific perception, experience and relationship to life through given moments. It can be said through the essay, “Yes,” that words are a way of expressing experiences and what is occurring in life.Questioning the words that have&nbsp.created my own experiences and which I use in my life can also be looked at when considering the perspective that Doyle takes.&nbsp.&nbsp.
