Introduction

Almost everyone loves to enjoy a weekend getaway in a secluded place once in a while. Such a getaway was what formed the foundation of James Dickey’s novel “deliverance”. The novel features four middle-aged city men (Ed, Drew, Lewis and Bobby) who go rafting and encounter death of a colleague, a broken limb, sodomy and other tough challenges (Dickey). The theme of deliverance is brought out through the character of Ed who takes over leadership and leads his friends to safety.
According to Dickey, deliverance refers to the discovery of adventure, departure from the boredom of a routine lifestyle. It implies the transition from ...

Introduction

As already mentioned, college is like a jungle. While the jungle is beautiful and full of a myriad of fauna and flora, entering it provokes mixed feelings. Firstly, it is exciting and the experience inside can be quite fun. There are friendly animals, beautiful, blossoming flowers and nice trees and scenery. However, the jungle is often home to dangerous animals such as lions, cheetahs and venomous snakes. College is no different because, as it is, it is exciting as much as it is intimidating and disorienting.
When my friend Dan joined college, he was excited that he would be away ...

This essay is about Eric Schlosser's Fast Food Nation. The terrifying yet funny contents of this book entails about the fast food industry where Eric Schlosser visits the laboratory where fast foods were being made. This book also entails about the explanation where the meats on your burger really comes from and how those fries smell very enticing and tastes so good. This essay will also compare and contrast Schlosser's Fast Food Nation with Upton Sinclair's The Jungle. The paper will not just provide lists of common and uncommon things between these two books, but the research will go ...

Upton Sinclair’s novel “The Jungle” goes deeper than a simple expose of the meat packing industry; Sinclair’s real goal was to provide an in-depth expose of society itself. Likewise ‘Fast Food Nation” by Eric Schlosser provides a more modern portrayal of the working class their struggle to survive in our times while their peers often live in excess. By analyzing the socialist messages within “The Jungle” and “Fast Food Nation” the corruption of capitalism and fallacy of the “American Dream” reveal the seedy underbelly of society.

The Desperation of the Working Class

Sinclair states that, “Packinghouse workers were ‘rats in a trap,’ that prostitutes fared better ...

Current Trends in the Resort Industry

Tourism and recreational industry continue to strengthen its position as one of the major international drivers of economic and social affairs. World Travel and Tourism Council outlines the shift in the strategic direction of development of the industry, where organizations, directly and indirectly, involved in tourism activities should become more aware and concerned with the impact of tourism and related sectors on wellbeing and wealth of the of the global population (WTTC 3-4). With the above in mind, some of the major and newest trends in tourism and the resort industry specifically include ecotourism. The International Ecotourism Society is ...

Throughout time, people have asked themselves what it means to be human. This has the obvious correlate of how one should lead one’s life. If it does not have intrinsic meaning, as many people started to believe in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, then one is left to one’s own devices to make something out of it. Artists have depicted this in many ways; Henry James’ The Beast in the Jungle and Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot are two masterpieces that discuss the importance of making the most of one’s time on Earth. They ...

Interracial Relationships and Their Attitudes

In the 1991 Spike Lee film Jungle Fever, Flipper Purify (Wesley Snipes) starts an affair with an Italian-American named Angie Tucci (Annabella Sciorra), and both encounter significant resistance from both sides of their family. In many ways, the basic plot is similar, if a bit seedier, than the 1967 Stanley Kramer drama Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, starring Sidney Poitier and Katherine Houghton as an interracial couple who focus on winning over her distrustful white parents. While both films deal with the complications of two people of different races starting a relationship, the outcomes and themes of the films are quite ...

The paper provides reading response of two studies entitled as “Taming the Jungle, Saving the Maya Forest: Sedimented Counterinsurgency Practices in Contemporary Guatemalan” written by Megan Yabrra and “Bio-ironies of the Fractured Forest: India's Tiger Reserves” by Paul Greenough.
Megan Yabrra conducted a study to identify the importance of historically sedimented military practice for protection in the contemporary Guatemala. The author argues that the military has tamped dangerous jungles for managing its counterinsurgency campaigns. The military has used forest and jungle discourses for achieving success in their territorial projects. The author argues that the use of jungle has violated ...

Murray, the current mayor of Seattle, has set up plans for moving the squatters out. This is to be done by providing them with roads and services that are easily accessible to the police and service crews, unlike the plan of the past bulldozers-led sweeps that was not compassionate by displacing the people who were homeless. With the help of Union Mission teams which has made treatment and shelter available, many people have managed to move away from the Jungle. The city staff also say that the shelters have rooms provided by the state and can accommodate everyone.

Many people think that there may not be any rhetoric in a movie. The movie is an object of entertainment. That is why many researchers do not take it for serious. The thing is, the main objective of the movie is to transmit a certain information. And we can only measure the success of the movie by measuring the success of transmitting. We do not always comprehend it, but in most cases we are touched and influenced by the rhetoric means and technique used in the movie.
Our task is to research the key characteristics of rhetorical principles applied ...

The State of Workers' Welfare in the Early 20th Century

On March 25, 1911, a fire started at the Triangle Shirtwaist Company in New York City, and proved to be one of the most deadly and destructive industrial disasters to occur in the city to date. Nearly 150 people died of fire, smoke inhalation, or jumping out of the buildings, creating a substantial and horrifying loss of life that shed light on a number of labor abuses that were happening in early 20th century America (p. 638). Much of this was focused on newly arriving immigrants who were not being taken care of properly; the publishing of the book The Jungle by ...

These images were sponsored by Peta, the organization for the protection of the rights of animals. It is suggested that animals should not be used neither for food nor for clothes because of the ethical issues. The interpretation of these images is related to the fact that animals have their rights as living creatures who suffer. They cannot defend themselves and people need to provide them ethical treatment.
The viewers are directly engaged in these photos because of the fact that human body or its parts are present in each of them. The woman promotes better treatment of wild ...

Introduction

‘Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind’ is a 1984 Japanese based fantasy and adventure film that is animated and also post-apocalyptic. It was written, as well as, directed by Miyazaki in relation to his 1882 manga that had a similar name. He used the film purposefully for showing the limitlessness associated with animation i.e. how the medium could be used in reaching beyond the narrative in spite of the impossibility that the setting harbors. Besides, the scenario presented by Miyazaki in the film contains a landscape that is based on science fiction that no live movie would daringly ...

The film City of God is about the urban environment set in a part of the city called the favela. It deals with the behavior of people who think that they are gods which is why this favela is called “City of God”. The drugs are everywhere and the power of people is estimated with their relation with the drugs. People in the big cities have the power and they use it to do illegal things which would make them rich which is why they establish dominance wherever they can and become God-like. The main topics in the film ...

During the late 1800s, also known as the “Gilded Age” of the United States, there was a huge divide between the rich and the poor. Unlike the society of today, which admittedly still has a large class and income divide, there were no real programs that existed to protect the poor from the exploitation of the rich; in the Gilded Age society, there was massive economic growth in the United States, but it came at the cost of those who worked for the rich. Today, there are legislative protections and social welfare programs that exist to help the indigent and the ...

Early1900s America society was populated with a few haves and many, many have-nots. Those that had power and money did whatever they could to keep the status quo. Industrialists and big city politicians worked together to stay rich by forcing the working class to stay poor. Yet by 1970 the working class was no longer on the bottom but instead it had become solidly middle class. The differences between 1900 and 1970 are reviewed in terms of social mobility in order to understand whether or not social mobility was greater in 1900 or in 1970. It will become clear that ...

In modern globalized world, an intertwining of numerous cultures takes place. Western values and lifestyle are known to be specifically actively spreading all over the world. Urbanization is one of the trends brought in Asia from the West. For instance, according to the research of the World Bank, from 2000 to 2010 around 200 million people from East Asia moved to urban area; it can be assumed that this tendency is to a great extent associated with the imitation a Western urban lifestyle by Asian people (“East Asia’s Changing Urban Landscape”). It is in particular captivating to observe ...

There are lots of literary genres involving and speculating about all possible and impossible things and every person that wants to read something new, entertaining or educating will find his or her book suiting his/her needs, interest, gender or age. Most of the time when one hears term ‘children literature’ one automatically or not imagines books with bright pictures that tell simple fairytale-like stories that are sewn with obvious moral threads telling kids not to do certain things, eat vegetables and be obedient. Usually this literature is associated with naïve, simply structured stories that contain primitive battle of ...

Wonderland was a village that nobody wanted to be associated with unless he or she had a unique magic. As the name suggests, this village was full of wonders and everything, people, animals, birds, trees and stones, was extraordinary. Every person who lived in this village had to be in possession of a certain charm in order survive. Village elders introduced a law that ensured any child born without magic would be killed because chances of survival for such a child were limited. Many expectant women ran away from the village in fear of their children being murdered. I personally do not believe in ...

Men in Cages: Alienation and Liberation in Collateral (2004) and Phone Booth (2002)
The thriller and neo-noir genres have always been preoccupied with lost men in dark cities – the presence of the towering modern cityscape in urban thrillers is often used as a metaphor to demonstrate mankind’s alienation in a sprawling, dehumanizing, technology-obsessed city. “What makes the portrayal of the city [in film] as a wild, savage place plausible to us is at least in part our cultural memory that the city can legitimately be described as a jungle” (Light 155). The urban thriller often depicts city life as a depressing, shallow ...

Richard Connell’s “The Most Dangerous Game” is about a hunter seeking his prey. However, it is the great hunter who ultimately becomes the hunted. For Sanger Rainsford, the protagonist of the story, hunting is “the best sport in the world” (Connell 58). While traveling with his hunting partner Whitney on a boat to Rio de Janeiro, Rainsford gets separated after falling into the water and swimming ashore on Ship-Trap Island that has a mansion on it. Rainsford then encounters General Zaroff, the owner of the island and an avid hunter like him. However, unlike Rainsford, Rainsford hunts for humans. Raiford is ...

In much of modern publishing history, particularly as it pertains to children's literature, there has been a significant movement toward marketing childrens' books for particular, gendered audiences. There are "boys' books" and "girls' books", each with their own emphases and particular genres. Boys' books tend to be adventures complete with violence, while girls' books are more fully centered on romance. However, despite these distinctions, I do not feel quantifying these books as being appropriate for a particular gender over another is wise or appropriate; children's literature on the whole has a great capacity for being palatable and enjoyable for both sexes, as ...

The 1943 painting The Jungle by Wifredo Lam is an Afro-Cuban piece that incorporates substantial elements of Santeria and Vodou religions. At the same time, there are many political and stylistic elements that make it just as important a piece as its religious ties. What it says about modern Afro-Cuban tourism and culture allows the viewer to harken back to the simple spirituality of Santeria, glorifying it as an alternative to a hurried, secular lifestyle.

The painting is very tropical at first glance, with many colors that are typical of that environment (harsh greens and blues, as well as son oranges ...

The song “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” has a special place in the history of South African music. As often happens, the original version, and its performer, remained little known to the general public, while the numerous alterations received glory and reward. For 70 years of existence, this song has more than 160 versions and the total time of its sound on the radio has passed for three hundred years. Song led a variety of charts and according to estimates it collected over $15 million (LaFraniere, 2006). Still, the song “The Lion Sleeps Tonigh” is mostly famous for its use ...

The Ted Talk given by Jose Sokoloff, the internationally awarded and respected advertising creative and peace proponent from Colombia, was an awe inspiring listening experience that illustrated the power of marketing communications done in an effective manner, the power of love with regards to inspiring the unthinkable and most importantly the power of intent that was showcased by Sokoloff and his team to create an impact with the marketing campaign on an emotive level on a social level (Sokoloff).
The war in Colombia is connected on a deep emotional level with Jose Sokoloff, as according to him, he has ...

Wright, Caroll. “The Factory System as an Element in Civilization.” Journal of Social Science, No. 16, December 1882.
Sinclair, Upton. “The Meat-Packers of Chicago.” The Jungle, New York, 1906, pp. 39–47, 112– 117, 160–162.
My motivation for choosing these two primary documents is informed by the fact that there are a lot of unfair labor practices and exploitation at present and very little has been done to address this menace. Laborers at factories work extremely hard and in the end other people unjustifiably feast on the proceeds of their sweat. Both papers are connected by the theme ...

John F. Kennedy was elected as a thirty-fifth president of the United States during difficult times. Communism, Cold War and all-round manufacturing of nuclear weapons threatened the world peace, while serious political tensions regarding discrimination and inequality in the country were the setting of the Kennedy’s Inaugural Speech, delivered on January 20, 1961. The events and attitudes in the society of 1960s have greatly influenced the way the speech was written. In his address, Kennedy declares the value of freedom and liberty in the times of turmoil, calls for the search of the peaceful solutions to urgent matters ...

The modern world is overwhelmed with various social issues. One of such issues is stereotyping. Gender and racial stereotypes within the media are appearing with stronger and stronger amount every time. This paper will focus on the racially marked female bodies, where the media shows racial constructs of the females.
This year fashion magazine "Vogue" announced, by showing a few examples that mass culture started the era of big booty. By naming some examples, there were discussed the pictures of a celebrity Kim Kardashian in a loud photo session for "Paper" magazine, styled by a controversial photographer Jean-Paul Goude'a. ...

Fear is a relative term, at least from the human perspective. This suggests that humanity has experienced its own sets of fears, depending on the prevailing dangers of a particular physical environment and epoch. In this regard, it has always been common knowledge that survival is an integral part of every species, including the Homo sapiens, and that compromising the sense of safety of animals and humans is most likely to instigate a reaction of fear. As such, it can also be said that fear is a beneficial aspect of existence, given that it triggers reactions of alertness, fighting ...

The Impact of Insurgency Efforts During the Vietnam War 3
External Sponsors of Insurgency Movements 6
Conclusion 10

Works Cited 13

Introduction
Among the many lessons to be learned from the Vietnam War is that counterinsurgency efforts must be stopped, but it is growing increasingly difficult to do so. Fanatical individuals who are deeply devoted to their cause often head insurgent movements. Unless an equally fanatical force on the other side exists, the necessary division of labor between external sponsors and clients states in the prosecution of counterinsurgency simply cannot be met. The issue of insurgency is not unique to the United ...

Bolman & Deal's frames is a popular model in modern management – that frames can be used at the planning stage of a change initiative to help diagnose organizational needs, to identify institutional challenges and contexts, and to devise appropriate actions (e.g., ‘For this initiative, we need to be sure to address the political aspects because'). The frames also can be used to rethink and reframe unsuccessful change initiatives (e.g., ‘This initiative failed because we didn't appropriately address the human resource frame.') (McLeod). Bolman and Deal’s 4 frame model and their leadership theory consist of four essential frameworks: structural, human ...

Representing the helm of a global enterprise proves no easy feat, particularly in the highly competitive and dauntingly complex world of the airline industry. Yet Richard Branson has managed to become viewed as a cool guy, who is down-to-earth, sensible and unpretentious as well as effectively leading the company Virgin into a hopeful future. A cogent understanding of the intensity and difficulty required to run an airline is noteworthy at the outset of this essay. In an article appearing in the Harvard Business Review, Anderson (2014) describes the treacherous terrain of management ...

The Jungle by Upton Sinclair talks about the poor conditions of immigrant workers in the meat packing industry in Chicago. The place, aptly named Packingtown, is the area where the major meat packing companies were found. This is where Jurgis, his family, and his then girlfriend and later on wife’s family migrated from Lithuania in hopes of a better life. Sinclair discusses in vivid details the hardships that the whole family went through in Chicago as their naivete as immigrants in a foreign country were played on and taken advantage by both the influential and the not so influential ones. ...

This is a book review, Fordlandia: the rise and fall of Henry Ford’s forgotten jungle city, written by Professor Greg Grandin. It talks about how Henry Ford built the American city in South America, Amazon, for rubber trees Grandin (2010). Ford needed rubber for cars production; it was the only suitable place in South America. He was looking for a place which looked like the American cities; with good streets and water to drink Watts(2005). The people there did not like how Henry Ford did his business and paid wages, so they developed a certain habit Raff and Summers (1987). ...

Vietnam War

Vietnam War
The Vietnam War is the most famous and significant US external affairs that will remain in the history of US. In essence, it is arguable whether US lost the war or to some extent; it won. Often than not, it appears that the US lost the war as it withdrew from the battlefield before achieving its agenda. The war had a significant economic, social and political impact on the people of US. The US government was overspending on this war; thousands of soldiers were being killed and protest and thus ‘no need of drama’ (O’Brien, 2014 p ...

The US military attempted to handle the Vietnam War with tactics similar to what they learned in World War II. In World War 2, they learned to make tank divisions and send those tanks as the lead-in attack force. After the tanks had bowed a hole into the rival ranks, the infantry was supposed to follow the tanks and protect the hole. The process was supposed to weaken the two halves and make it easier to handle and force into retreat. The plan was to work perfectly, but in the Vietnam jungle, they were unable to do so because the ...

No matter what time period of history you consider, the perspectives of the people living through that time vary significantly depending on such factors as social class, ethnicity, religion and culture. If you think about life in ancient Rome during the early days of the Empire, life was fairly pleasant for those in the wealthier classes. There was an advanced system of plumbing that served public baths and homes, set up through the aqueducts; if you were among the wealthy, you likely had a servant or two around the house to cook for you and keep things clean. However, if ...

“The Destructors” – Graham Greene

Brief description of both, pointing huge difference between the two protagonists – and between the location and context of each story – which influence the action and therefore, the plot
- What are their outstanding qualities? Does the author give any indication as to how or why the characters developed such qualities?
Rainsford – courage, intelligence, a sense of morality, resourceful, the ability to endure hardship, calm in the face of danger – previous experience and the First World War

Trevor – reticent, determined, inventive, malicious – his family’s fall in social status perhaps.

- What are the characters’ emotions, attitudes and behaviors? What ...

Bob Marley’s music has had a tremendous influence on all who have had the honor of discovering it. The man, himself, was a trailblazer for the reggae genre and deserves a place amongst fellow musical trailblazers of the past, such as Elvis, the Beatles, and Chuck Berry in their own respective genres. But why is music so important to us, why are we not satisfied with visual, more tangible forms of art? What is it about the sound of music that has such an intoxicating effect on our psyches? Art itself can be understood as an expression of one’s experience ...

In the history of the United States, racial and gender injustices have been a common thing among the people. There has been unequal treatment based on skin colour and sexual orientation. African Americans are one of the groups that have been on the receiving end of these discriminations. In addition to this, the manner in which African American men and African American women have been perceived in the American society is different from how the Native Americans have been perceived and handled. Scholars have taken time to look into these differences based on race and gender, how these differences have ...

As a prelude to writing this essay, I would like to admit that I have never been to Africa. Further, my opinion about the “black continent” has been shaped by what I have seen or read in media. When I think about Africa, the images that first come to mind are; various wildlife programs on National Geographic channel; Michael Jackson’s music video “Black or White”; various campaigns by world leaders to eradicate poverty; and dictators and ethnic strife. And off course the campaign against apartheid in South Africa. I don’t know for what reason, but the image I ...

Humans are difficult to be interpreted in terms of their behavior and attitude since the mysteries of human soul and the maze of human thought have always appealed to people due to their complexity, double-sided nature and mystery of how they are revealed and how they are formed. Ever since the first appearance of earth’s inhabitants there has been a progressive route of human kind which has nevertheless generated lots of heated debate as far as the traits of the human personality are concerned and the factors affecting them positively or negatively. A number of scientific fields like psychology, ...

William Carlos Williams

William Carlos Williams has always been known as an experimenter, an innovator, a revolutionary figure in American poetry. Yet in comparison to artists of his own time who sought a new environment for creativity as expatriates in Europe, Williams lived a remarkably conventional life. A doctor for more than forty years serving the New Jersey town of Rutherford, he relied on his patients, the America around him, and his own ebullient imagination to create a distinctively American verse. Often domestic in focus and "remarkable for its empathy, sympathy, its muscular and emotional identification with its subjects," Williams's poetry is also characteristically honest: "There ...

Introduction

Tourism connotes the visitation of places. Tourism can be in two levels; domestic and international tourism. Domestic tourism involves the leisure activities that citizens of a given nation may engage in within the boundaries of their country whereas international tourism involves travelling to another country. Modern tourism advocates for responsible tourism and conservation of the environment. Consequently, various concepts of tourism have emerged aimed at environmental conversation. One such concept, that this paper seeks to address, is eco-tourism.
Ecotourism
Ecotourism is in many ways a special form of tourism. It involves visitation to undisturbed natural places often considered pristine ...

The Mayan Apocalypse: Assessing the Mystery

The Maya are an ancient civilization that have long captured the attention of popular media. Like the ancient Egyptians, the mysteries surrounding their rites, rituals, and everyday life are compelling. Both civilizations built pyramids in inhospitable places, created writing systems, and were ahead of their times in the realms of art, mathematics, linguistics, trade, and so on. The Maya have been particularly heavily featured in the media recently, as the end of the Mayan calendar was slated to be in December of 2012, causing some speculation about the end of the world. But the interest in the Maya is ...

The minority population in this novel is facing the threat of losing the main source of their livelihood and their habitats. The aim of the novel by Pancake was well put across and sensitized.

The mission is a 1986 film written by Robert Bolt and directed by Roland Joffe. The film got shot in Colombia, South America. It is a spiritual, powerful, and compelling film that won the best film award at the Cannes film festival in 1986.

In the film, Father Gabriel arrives in the South American jungle to teach Christianity to the native Indians who have just crucified a Jesuit priest. Father Gabriel gets inspired ...

"it might be a mistake to assume that the inconstancy and forgetfulness of the masses signify that they are cured of the totalitarian delusion, which is occasionally identified with the Hitler or Stalin cult; the opposite might well be true." (Chapter 10)

Arendt, in this quote, is referencing the tendency for totalitarian leaders to be forgotten and quickly abandoned after their own deposing, and that much of the time the totalitarian ideals go with them. To that end, it can be assumed (or at least implied) that people tend to follow the leader more so than the position; however, Arendt ...

Human diversity is an aspect that has been appreciated for enhancing harmonic living. However, in some instances, this has been responsible for threatening the holistic wellbeing of humanity. At other times, human diversity has served humanity as a source of joy, laughter and humorous situations. This is particularly common with cases involving psychopaths. These individuals are known for being conscience free and thus manipulate others for their selfish interests. My aunt, with whom I lived for two years, can be considered a psychopath for different reasons. She is an extremely selfish person who derives her satisfaction from seeing other people suffer. ...

An Analysis

”How It Feels to Be Colored Me” by Zora Neale Hurston does exemplifies what Dubois terms the “double consciousness” which is the experience of being “an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body.” (45). However, she exemplifies Dubois’ words only to a limited extent: Hurston’s experiences of being an African American in white, racist society are much more complex than Dubois’s basic and simple dichotomy.
Until she was thirteen, Hurston does not exist at all in anything resembling a state of “double consciousness” at all. By contrast, since she ...

An Analysis

Up to the age of thirteen, Hurston does not exist in a state of “double consciousness” at all. Instead, because she lives in an all African American community and rarely has contact with white people, she might be said to live in a state of pre-consciousness. As she writes, she “became” African American when she was thirteen and end to school in Jackson. (1008). Before that she had lived in a state innocence and ignorance – unaware of the wider and predominantly racist society that she lived in. she sings and dances for the tourist who pass through town; thy e give her ...
