Forum

The Roman Forum was a great center of commerce, an architectural wonder, and most importantly a governmental supercenter. The Roman Forum was an architectural wonder due to its massive size. The Forum was made up of many buildings, including; The Curia (a senate building), The Temple of Antoninus and Faustina, The Temple of Saturn, and more. The Roman Forum was also very architecturally significant because it created the style that we use today for our state capitols. This proves that the Romans had the architectural knowledge to make blueprints that would be used again 2,800 years in the future. One of Rome’s great architectural feats was the invention of the arch. The arch literally used gravity to hold itself up. The arch supported lots…

the technology being used and the way the teacher implemented and applied online discussion through a blogging format to meet the World History standards. This type of online discussion has intrigued me since the entire Social Studies team has implemented it in our school. In the article, Talking It Out: Online Discussion Forums in the Social Studies Classroom, Whitney G. Blankenship…

Robbie Flak was a defense lawyer who grew up in Slone, Texas. He was the son of a well respected lawyer who built up a reputation that afforded Robbie his start. He worked with his father but soon began to leave the realm of corporate law to deal with the injustices of society. His black hair and perpetual scowl gave him the appearance of anger and irritation, which his drinking habits only served to heighten. He was in a relationship with his live-in girlfriend, but has uncertain feelings for…

Discussion Forum Reflection: Over the course of the semester, we covered several topics that focused on different areas and aspects of family. Each topic required us to complete a discussion post where we would use the information we have learned in class and critically analyze and apply it to real-world situations. The discussion forums also allowed us to learn about other student’s perspectives and allow us to see the diversity of experiences with families. Throughout the six topics, I…

STRENGHTS: Film Forum is the only autonomous nonprofit cinema in New York City and one of the few in the U.S. As a nonprofit, the operating income comes from a combination of earned income (ticket sales, concession, merchandise, gift cards) and funding from private and public sources. Film Forum is able to take significant risks in the programming. Film Forum’s programs are thoughtfully curated, with attention to unique cinematic qualities, historical importance individually or within a genre…

In my observation I’m going to again use ‘The Source’ for this Discussion Forum response. Cash is managed in a number of ways. Since I do not have direct knowledge of their processes for cash, I can go by what I have observed merchants of these type doing. I know this electronics merchant deals in cash, for I have made my purchases using cash. The first handling of cash would be from the Store Clerk that is on shift at the time. This person would keep at the front what is called a float in their…

In general, the least rewarding aspect about posting in Forums is when no one responds/comments to one’s forum post. A suggestion that I believe will create a better online environment is to have the original posts due by the middle of the week, for example Wednesday, and then from Wednesday to Sunday have everyone comment on two posts, so that there’s a bigger chance of everyone receiving a response/comment. (6) Briefly explain how you have incorporated what you have learned into your…

The Forum of Trajan’s patron was Trajan. The purpose of the Forum was to house a market-place. The forums of this period were named accordingly as to glorify the names of the rulers. Trajan’s Forum was the largest built, a feat that certainly reflect the amount of power and wealth wielded by the patron. A structure in the Trajan Forum, Trajan’s column, celebrates Trajan’s victory over the Dacians. A modern structure that is similar to the Forum of Trajan would be a shopping mall. Both structures…

On the third day ashore, I made my first visit to Trajan’s Forum. The forum is two centuries old and was built by Emperor Trajan after their successful wars against the Dacians. Using the riches acquired during the wars, the Emperor rewarded the Roman citizens with the building of the forum. Construction was started in 107 CE and completed in 112 CE. The Emperor used architect Apollodorua of Damascus to construct the forum. The forum which is the largest in Roma, is a vast complex which has…

Forum Reflection When posting to an online public forum, there is a responsibility that the users can either take or disregard completely. On the gun control forum that my group decided to use, there was a mixture of both responsible, well-mannered users, and disrespectful internet “trolls”. When I first went in to post my opinions on gun control, I thoroughly expected to get more of the later user responding. What was interesting, though, was that I was pleasantly surprised. Of all of my three…
