Rome and Romanization

This assignment gives you the opportunity to practice determining the purpose and function of artifacts in order to create your interpretation of a specific historical development-Romanization.

Discuss the impact of the process of Romanization on the Roman world. Identify at least two examples of cultural structures that were patterned across Roman-conquered cities. Cultural structures can include physical features of Roman-ruled cities, practices, policies, ideas, or any artifact that was used to shape the conquered regions.

Discuss how these structures impacted daily life, which may include politics, economics, or social roles. Describe how and with what intent these events were “memorialized” or used in the cultural arena.

Step 1: Choose two appropriate sources. At least one source must come from the CSU Online Library. The Academic Search Ultimate and eBook Academic Collection databases in the CSU Online Library would be good places to start your search. If you need additional help with using or locating information in the online library, there are library video tutorials available on the main page of the online library under the heading “Research Guides.” Resources from outside of the library should be credible and peer-reviewed and cannot include Wikipedia, Biography.com, History.com, any type of message board, or other similar encyclopedias.

Step 2: Complete your research. Choose one interesting development that illustrates the main point that you want to make about your chosen physical structures, practices, or ideas. Gather details about your choice. For example, what types of buildings were first introduced in Rome, and why were they purposely replicated in other, smaller cities?

Step 3: Draw conclusions from the details you found, and prepare your thesis. A thesis is prepared after you have completed your research and gathered enough information about the chosen structures. You should sit back to think about what it means to see the influence on culture. Your thesis statement should offer your reader the overall insight into the use and impact of the structure on Roman development.
Use the following guidelines to help decide on your thesis.
Ask yourself about how the cultural element (idea, practice, or structure) was shaped by its time period and environment.
Ask yourself how the structure impacted the lives of the people around it, the general public, and the immediately following period in the history of Rome.
Find the perfect specific example to demonstrate the qualities of the structure you would most like to show.
Step 4: Write your essay. Your essay must be at least 500 words in length. All sources must be referenced and cited according to APA guidelines.

Be sure to consider the following guidelines in your essay.
The introduction should engage the reader and clearly present the essay’s thesis and summarize the main points that clarify your point of view. The last sentence of the introductory paragraph should be your specific thesis.
Organization should clearly present points arranged to illustrate your opening thesis. Paragraph order and organization should clearly present points arranged to illustrate your opening thesis rather than to narrate the chronological story.
Writing should be clear and concise with no spelling, grammatical, or punctuation errors.
The number of sources should meet or exceed any expressed assignment requirements, and the sources should be peer-reviewed or academic in nature. At least one source must be from the CSU Online Library.
APA guidelines should be used for reference entries and in-text citations.

Explain how the kidneys use osmosis in the process of osmoregulation. Explain what happens to the body physiologically when too much salt is consumed.

In the Lab #4, part #1 Diffusion Across a Selectively Permeable Membrane activity, you studied diffusion. In the Lab #4 part 2, Osmosis Across a Selectively Permeable Membrane activity, you studied osmosis. Please create a hypothesis about the flow of solutes and solvent in two scenarios. Be sure to identify the solute and solvent in your hypothesis and explain WHY you think this will happen.
Scenario #1: The membrane is permeable to solutes.
Scenario #2: The membrane is impermeable to solutes.
In Lab #4, part 3- Tonicity in Potato Strips, you watched potatoes in varying saline (salt) solutions. Since osmosis is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane, how will you know If water has moved into or out of the potato cells?
In Lab #4, part 5- Red Blood Cells, what do you hypothesize will happen to the red blood cells in the following scenarios?
Isotonic solution
Hypotonic solution
Hypertonic solution
Define hemolysis & crenation and explain when each would occur in this experiment.
Explain how the kidneys use osmosis in the process of osmoregulation. Explain what happens to the body physiologically when too much salt is consumed.
We know from our previous reading and last week’s lab that the phospholipid membrane of the cell is hydrophobic. What does this mean in terms of the purpose of the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane?
Fish receive oxygen from water that passes through their gills. This happens by simple diffusion. What must the concentration of oxygen outside the gills be, relative to the inside of their gills for this to happen?
Are freshwater fish hypotonic, isotonic or hypertonic to their environment? Explain.
Are saltwater fish hypotonic, isotonic, or hypertonic to their environment? Explain.
