The chief engineer, Roebling, designed a suspension bridge that was fifty percent longer than any other suspension bridge of the times. His design for weighting of the bridge to keep it stable when there was wind is a very important lesson for today’s suspension bridge designers. The health and safety issues of the height of the bridge and the use of the Caisson boxes have been discussed. The approximately 27 deaths that took ...

An important thing to note about the hospitality and tourism industry is the fact that it is one of the most versatile sectors which is subject to change based on the environment in which it is founded. This is based on the fact that unlike many other industries across the world, the hospitality industry is highly affected by changes as a result of the internal and external factors that influence and affect its existence; this is based on the fact that the industry is characterized by highly perishable products and services, this means that it is mainly based on the customers’ perception towards a destination and the quality of services (food, beverages, accommodation, and other services and activities). Bearing this in mind, it is important for all the stakeholders, especially the ones involved with ensuring quality and effective service delivery of products and services to the customers, to ensure that highly professional, diverse and satisfactory services and products are offered to them; this is the main way of ensuring the satisfaction of customers which will lead to repeat purchasing behavior which over time creates loyalty to specific products and services (Dwyer & Tanner, 2009, p. 63).

When Lilacs Last In The Dooryard Bloom’d

The Poem entitled “When Lilacs Last In The Dooryard Bloom’d” is Walt Whitman’s romanticized story of an American leader during a trying time. In his poem, he shows the audience his own meaning of democracy as well as racial equality. His poem speaks of Abraham Lincoln as the one who brought about racial equality in a land that was being tried. This was during the time of national disagreement, when their great leader fought for equality and abolitionism. This was the most prominent theme seen in Whitman’s work here. He speaks to the deceased president about ...

On January 21, 2010 the U.S. Supreme Court decided that corporations had equal rights as individual citizens with regard to campaign contributions during political elections. This therefore implies that corporations also enjoy the protection of the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights (Freedom of Speech). The court case was Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (Levin-Waldman, 2011, 178). The above reaction to the court decision is from the liberal side and I agree. I think that the decision was not good and not respectful of the rights of citizens. Democracy is no longer powerful when ...

I must admit that I had my own preconceived ideas and notions about the mentally retarded persons all along and before I had an opportunity of volunteering in a facility that provides care for the mentally ill. Even at the moment when we were given an opportunity to volunteer in a mental health facility, I had my own ideas of what I would see, experience, and what the patients or the mentally retarded would be like. These notions had been built into me and developed throughout my life through listening to popular opinions from people and readings from the ...

The programs that would be analyzed for the current discourse are the Early Head Start Program of the Children's Aid Society and the Promise Neighborhoods Program.

Do The Right Thing

Introduction Spike Lee’s incendiary, stylish film Do the Right Thing is a wonderful example of race relations in the late 1980s; in the face of police brutality and gang warfare in the ghettos of America, a fine line exists between black pride and equality, portrayed elegantly and energetically by director Spike Lee. Multiculturalism is at a razor’s edge in this film, with many members of the community being one arbitrary offense away from being beaten or killed by an insensitive police force, or prejudiced, conflicted whites in their own neighborhood. The events of the film ...

Patrick Murphy’s leadership style focused greatly on accountability; he wanted to make sure people were held responsible for their actions and those under them. (p. 33). When Murphy took over the police force, he “considered himself a reform agent,” deciding he needed to clean house to get rid of the ghosts that were rampant in Leary’s tenure as commissioner. Believing that there was too much splintering and division within the department, he sought to bring everyone back together and eliminate this sort of waste.

Emily Bronte’s novel “Wuthering Heights”, which was firstly published in London in 1847, has raised many discussions and disagreements. One of the most disputable issues regarding this novel is the question whether “Wuthering Heights” belongs to Romanticism or Realism. For better understanding of the problem it is important to define these notions. Thus, in brief, Romanticism in literature “is more concerned with emotion than rationality. It values the individual over society, nature over city. It questions or attacks rules, conventions and social protocol” (luc.edu). Meanwhile, the concept of Realism refers to representing “events and social conditions as they ...

Al Capone was a gangster who ran an organized crime syndicate back in the 1920s in the Chicago area during the Prohibition era.

He was even dubbed as the modern-day Robinhood for his knack in helping the poor people. Born in 1899, Capone was the fourth of nine children born to Gabriele and Teresina, both Italian ...

Exercise 1: Your March 3 (00) editorial describing the deeded lineage of Willamette Meteorite overlooks a salient aspect of the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community’s claim to the artefact. The pervasive ramblings of the United States Cavalry across Indian land had a very coercive effect on Indian willingness to sign treaties in 1855, when the land on which the meteorite rested was obtained by the treaty. The Willamette Meteorite doesn’t belong in the Museum of Natural History any more than the Brooklyn Dodgers belong in the Los Angeles.

Answer: The above paragraph can be reformulated as premises and conclusion as follows:

Reading mama Lola has made me understand that religion is all about observing certain religious believes rather than just being part of a religious sect. Every religion is directed towards a supreme being, yet the religious proceedings are dependent on where an individual was brought up. Many times, people condemn others for observing certain religious rituals, terming them evil, yet they do not understand the reason behind it. One unique feature about religion is that anyone who dedicates his or her life to it feels it is the right form of religious worship. Religion plays an important part in ...

Urban Farming is a new methodology of introducing farming to cities and to the urban landscape, particularly on top of buildings where it can be positioned conveniently for enough sun exposure and soil placement. Such examples include Brooklyn Grange Urban Farm and the roof garden in the Waldorf Astoria. Both exemplify that farming activities can be done in urban places. I have observed several differences between the two urban farms. It can also be contested that Waldorf Astoria is more like a garden than a farm due to its smaller scale compared to the urban farm in Brooklyn. And ...

At the time of the restless Sixties, Mailer was successful in developing a style of journalism which combined true events like political commentary and autobiography with a wide range of eloquent words which was a common feature of the literary novel.
