...DIARY ENTRY DAY 1666 1666 days have passed since the start of the oppression. I fear not much time will pass for the imperium of man to collapse. War is the only mechanism that keeps the imperium from crumpling in on itself. Society is harshly oppressed because it is accepted that if man is left to his own devices and creativity, he will eventually become corrupt .One of the many teachings in this society is that an open mind is like a fortress with its bridge down and gates open . Humans are xenophobic and openly racist between social classes therefore cannot be trusted with independence of creativity all sense of such are severely punished. Technology is viewed as a religion, and modifying it in any way whether improving it or not is punishable by death. The “loftier” the leader, nobody knows nor has seen him there are countless gossips on his appearance some even say his not human nonetheless the certain truth is nobody knows. Society has suffered more than it should we have been and always will be slaves. Every single one is a slave of time maybe religion and certainly technology. Technology had made the value of time-life decrease, years passed feaster days passed faster and hours seemed minutes. Everyone had forgotten how to life they didn’t socialize anymore that was seen as a taboo, they had disregarded their values, their identities even their pride. Human had suffered from the production of too many useful things resulting in too many useless people as the...

...było tworzenie na terenach kolonii baz wojskowych, które zabezpieczały interesy potęg kolonialnych. Ocena kolonializmu nadal wywołuje wiele kontrowersji. Jego przeciwnicy wskazują na brutalny wyzysk ludności tubylczej i niszczenie jej kultury. Zwolennicy wskazują, że cywilizacja europejska była wówczas jedyną propozycją kulturową godną opanować świat. Za sprawą białego człowieka zmieniały się stosunki w koloniach. Uruchamiano tam przemysł, budowano drogi, linie kolejowe i rozwijano szkolnictwo. Niemniej biały człowiek spełniał na tych obszarach misję cywilizacyjną polegającą na przyśpieszeniu przeobrażeń tej części świata według własnych wzorów kulturowych. Największe imperium kolonialne stworzyli Anglicy, do których należała 1/4 kuli ziemskiej i tyle samo ludności. Drugie co do rozległości imperium kolonialne stworzyli Francuzi posiadający liczne kolonie w Afryce i Azji. Rywalizowały z nimi Stany Zjednoczone skupiające swoją uwagę na strefie Pacyfiku i Rosja, która nie posiadała kolonii zamorskich, ale na podbitych terenach stosowała typowe metody kolonialne. W cieniu potęg kolonialnych pozostawali Holendrzy i Belgowie. Takim podziałem świata czuły się poszkodowane Niemcy i Włochy,...

A few may even experience posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). There are even some reports of drone pilots struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder after they have killed civilians, especially children. Unlike bomber pilots, drone operators linger long after the explosives strike and see its effects on human bodies in stark detail. The intense training that US drone operators undergo "works to dehumanize the ‘enemy’ people below whilst glorifying and celebrating the killing process” (Drone: Robot Imperium).

...endure after his death. Charlemagne did not restore the Roman Empire to its fullest through his actions of governing and forming his empire. Charlemagne formed his empire and then divided it into smaller administrative units. These unites were called counties and he appointed Counts to administer them in his name. In some military districts he created other royal officials called Dukes and Margraves to serve the same purpose as counts but was responsible for leading the king’s armies. Because of Charlemagne giving power to other people to rule his empire, it made his empire different than the Roman Empire. In the formation of the Roman Empire, Augustus Caesar was granted two powers by the Senate, the “Tibunician Power” and the “Proconsular Imperium Maius.” Both these powers...

This was important to Romans because it allowed the poor and suffering to obtain and finally own their own land, it also insured that the Roman population would remain strong for generation to come. The law en bloc ratified all of Pompey’s settlements in the East. A law to help ease the treasury in Rome, Caesar remitted 1/3 of the payments that the tax collectors of Asia. Julian’s Laws were also favorable to Caesar, a bill was passed in legislature through a tribune that allowed him to be proconsular imperium for five years over the provinces of Cisalpine Gual and Illyricum.

...The Roman Empire The Roman Empire was one of the strongest empires in all of mankind. The Roman Empire has such a rich history and shows how power and strategic tactics can run an empire efficiently. The Roman Empire was characterized by an autocratic form of government which meant the top leaders made all the important decisions. They had a large territorial area around the Mediterranean which went into present day Europe, Africa, and Asia. Rome history starts at the time it was know as Rome Republic and was ran by royal Rome. There Imperium was in command and are represented by consuls and the senate and assembly. Rome in their Republic they started their conquest as they fought Carthage in three Punic Wars. Carthage main advantage was their navy and Hannibal was leading Carthage to victory over Rome and take over. But Rome had its own power in Scipio Africanus and he ended Hannibals victory run and they were able to hold Carthage back and became the the power of the west with a great strategic army. The fall of the Republic started with Julius Caesar he mid wife of the Roman Empire and was more of a dictator figure. Julius Caesar was part of the first triumvirate of the new Roman Empire.

He lead Rome to its second triumvirate and was the first empire of Rome. After Emperor Augustus took over and was a very low profile ruler and...

...Imperialism is a type of advocacy of empire. Its name originated from the Latin word "imperium", meaning to rule over large territories. Imperialism is "a policy of extending a country's power and influence through colonization, use of military force, or other means".[2] Imperialism has greatly shaped the contemporary world.[3] The term imperialism has been applied to Western political and economic dominance in the 19th and 20th centuries, however its precise meaning continues to be debated by scholars. For example, cartographers of the nineteenth century used cartography to further fuel imperialism. As scholar Bassett notes, "Maps were used in various ways to extend European hegemony over foreign and often unknown territory."[4] It is better to use terms such as cultural or economic imperialism to describe some of these less formal types of domination.[5] Some writers, such as Edward Said, use the term more broadly to describe any system of domination and subordination organised with an imperial center and a periphery.[6] From a Marxist perspective, imperialism is a natural feature of a developed capitalist nation state as it matures into monopoly capitalism. In Lenin's work Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism, he observed that as capitalism matured in the Western world, economies shifted away from manufacturing towards banking, finance, and capital markets, as production was outsourced to the empires' colonies. Lenin concluded that competition between Empire and...

...Joana Marie O. Orlando BM-2 REASONS AND FUNCTION OF AUTHORITY | Obedience: we are treating the subject fearlessly even though today there is a bad press for whoever declares himself in favour of obedience and of respect for the values and virtues always considered basic to civil and spiritual life. Being free from any responsibility (which is always a cross) and from every concern for a position of power (which is always a temptation) may perhaps guarantee to a person the hope of not being misinterpreted if he attempts to express in current terms considerations which might seem—but really only seem—so out of date.If the modern age is characterized by the substitution of the principle of reason for the principle of authority, we know that in more recent years a kind of charismatic impulse has been on the increase; in every area of life, profane and religious, it takes the place of reason itself as the motive of action and is imposed in a much more decisive manner. Democracy is the daughter of reason and to it owes its definitive validity, even if it was conceived among the presumptions of the Enlightenment.The recent totalitarian regimes were linked to a will for power which in its wear and tear fashioned various ideologies as substitutes for the objective principles of the natural law, contested as it was by philosophical relativism and juridical positivism. The contestation is the expression of primordial impulses, at times defined in profane and lay circles, as charisms...

...of the of ancient Rome struggle for stability. This struggle started with the collapse of the Roman Monarchy government structure in 509 BC. The republic lasted approximately 482 years pending its collapse through sequences of interior battles. The major cause for this down fall was the power struggle between the two classes. This rise of the Roman Republican government, which was ran by two consuls, was very difficult to change. But because of the growth in Italy, the Romans began to create more political organizations. These organizations were positioned there to enforce laws and provide authority, which in essence circled the idea of the right to command. “The Romans had a clear concept of executive authority, embodied in their word imperium, or “the right to command” (Spielvogel, 117). Because the Romans glorified honor they were very reasonable, thus they fulfilled laws only when desired. The few elected magistrates, and the two consuls were the highest positions held. The two consuls would then only serve for a certain period of time, usually a year. They were the cores of power in the republic because they led the roman army, which was very dominant. Polybius summarizes the consul’s role by saying; “The Consuls, before leading out the legions, remain in Rome and are supreme masters of the administration. All other magistrates, except the Tribunes, are under them and take their orders.” (Polybius, 1). If the consuls were then occupied in battle, then a dictator or praetor...

...Different approaches The concept of sovereignty has been discussed throughout history, from the time before recorded history through to the present day. It has changed in its definition, concept, and application throughout, especially during the Age of Enlightenment. The current notion of state sovereignty contains four aspects consisting of territory, population, authority and recognition. According to Stephen D. Krasner, the term could also be understood in four different ways: domestic sovereignty – actual control over a state exercised by an authority organized within this state, interdependence sovereignty – actual control of movement across state's borders, assuming the borders exist, The Roman jurist Ulpian observed that: The imperium of the people is transferred to the Emperor. The Emperor is not bound by the law. The Emperor's word is law. Emperor is the law making and abiding force. Ulpian was expressing the idea that the Emperor exercised a rather absolute form of sovereignty, although he did not use the term expressly. Medieval Classical Ulpian's statements were known in medieval Europe, but sovereignty was an important concept in medieval times. A later English Arthurian romance, The Wedding of Sir Gawain and Dame Ragnell, uses many of the same elements of the Wife of Bath's tale, yet...
