Tourism comes in many different shapes and sizes. Tourism can be international or national; it can even be relatively close to one’s home, as tourism is not defined by how far an individual goes, but by the fact that he or she has traveled and the types of activities that he or she participates in while gone from home (Wurzburguer , Pattakos & Pratt, 2008). Tourism can be measured a number of different ways using a number of different metrics; however, from a practical standpoint, tourism is generally understood as being domestic tourism, inbound international tourism, or outbound international tourism ( ...

Healthcare fraud in the US is more common than one would think. In fact, the US government loses billions of dollars each year due to fraudulent billing, kickbacks, and other illegal activities by physicians, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and many other stakeholders. In my opinion, the fines for healthcare fraud should be stiff, especially in cases that result in unnecessary injuries or deaths. In my estimation, one of the best things that can be done to improve healthcare, and minimize incidents of fraud is to eliminate the profit motive from the healthcare system. In a video about Health Management Associates ( ...

The opium war which took place in the 19th century was one of the first major defeats of the Chinese government. China had a tremendous amount of wealth which was mostly attributed to the tea trade in the country. Britain had a great demand for this tea, while the country had nothing to offer the Chinese government in return. China was also ignorant to the western revolution and considered the western culture barbaric. China was a traditional country which held strongly to its traditions and culture. While China hoped to keep its culture free of the western culture effect, ...

I'll admit i was a little confused, the plot of the film was a little puzzling to me, but eventually i caught on to what was really happening in the movie.

The Maimonides Medical Center has been in operation for 70 years now since 1947. It is still right to say that the hospital has been operational for over 70 years before it finally changed names to Maimonides Medical Center.

In 1990, Murakami was introduced to contemporary art with the artist Masato ...

The neighborhood of Brooklyn is where both my family and I reside. Brooklyn also happens to be the home to most immigrants from Africa, Asia, Middle-East, the Americas, the Caribbean, and all contributing their rich talents and cultures to the borough. And this kind of diversity is manifested in the linguistic compositions by these multi-ethnic neighborhoods within Brooklyn. Emigrants from English-speaking nations find it easy to linguistic integrate with the locals as they already have the advantage of knowing the English language. The socio-economic levels within Brooklyn appear to be lower than the surrounding neighborhoods of the greater New ...

Is there too much pressure to go to college?

Teenagers should be given the option to pursue knowledge with or without college. Education is acquired with the prime objective of gaining knowledge; the colleges are one of the facilitators of knowledge but not the only one. The pressure to enter the college is getting too severe for the teenagers to bear, leading to mental breakdown that brings everything to a naught. There is a need to understand that the adolescents are yet to become mature to withstand the mental pressures coming from different quarters- parents, peers, teachers etc. The pursuit of knowledge is successful only if the push ...

Bierstadt used light and shadow in a masterly fashion, which made his painting an extremely dramatic.

-- I am Martha. I have lived in New York City for twenty-three years. I lost my parents through a grisly accident at the age of nine. My mom and dad were driving along the Joe DiMaggio Highway while on their way home in Manhattan from a weekend fellowship when the accident happened. It was a horrible time in my life, to be honest. Even the memories of my Dad, who was a highly religious person, did not help me. My father often played the role of the community motivator and volunteer who helped the poor and the orphans. ...

Mitch Snyder was one of the most influential advocates for the rights of the homeless in the American history. The methods he used to achieve financial support for the homeless were extraordinary and outrageous; however, those could be justified by good intention to take care of the helpless. During the years of his campaign for social justice, Mitch Snyder shocked the Americans with demonstrative, long-lasting hunger strikes and other meaningful protests ("National Coalition for the Homeless"). He aimed to draw the attention of people, as a way to force the government to fulfill their commitments towards the America's poorest (" ...

If one tries to figure out the first illustrations on the planet, they will be taken back all the way to the cave paintings by ancient men. Illustrations in books surfaced only after the invention of the printing press. Traditionally speaking, illustrations have always been part of books. They should not be looked as mere decoration of the books became of the greater amount of information the reader can derive from those drawings. In the past centuries, examples of illustrations have included books illustrated by copper engraving, woodcuts and wood engraving (Eshragh 9).Diagrams were essential in a mathematical ...

1. The central issue of Aarti Shanani’s essay "Legalization and De-legalization" is the difficulties which the immigrants have to face due to the imperfections of the law. The anecdote of Julio Beltre's father's deportation sets up the central theme of Aarti Shanani's essay as an example of unfair treatment of the immigrants and the impact that it makes on the immigrants themselves and their families as well (Shanani, 208). 2. Shanani claims that immigration is "the issues everywhere," and it is impossible not to agree with him (Shanani, 208). With the ...

I had lost my parents through a grisly accident at the age of nine years along the Joe DiMaggio Highway while on their way home in Manhattan from a weekend fellowship.

Martha, 23-years old, had lost her parents through a grisly accident at the age of nine years along the Joe DiMaggio Highway while on their way home in Manhattan from a weekend fellowship.

In 1947, the top 1% got 12% of the aggregate, and after three decades, in 1978, that stayed about the same - entirely bring down - at 9%. The main 1 percent's offer held at near 10% all through each of the three decades. The post-war period is broadly seen as a brilliant age of the white collar class, with an economy energized in critical part by working class spending. The working class prospered. Its numbers extended, and its expectations for everyday comforts climbed consistently. The U.S. economy developed, and that development lifted a large number of families out ...

Do the Right Thing is a film which deals with different topics related to the life in a community which is culturally diverse. Brooklyn is a place where mostly black people live, but there are also white people, Italian Americans, Latin Americans and Koreans and all of these groups have prejudice against one another.

The lack of tolerance leads to great misunderstanding in any community where people from ...

Two key issues emerge from the film, Do the Right Thing - race relations and the use of neighborhoods in cinema. Young, in her book entitled Fear of the Dark, explains how race and racism are often heavily highlighted in movies. It is as if Hollywood draws breath from them. Mennel in her work, Cities and Cinema, she observes that the use of cities and neighborhoods is provides powerful excitement to scripts.

Yeager by Tom Wolfe

Summary: ‘Yeager’ by Tom Wolfe is an essay about a wonderful U.S airline pilot named Chuck Yeager. The essay begins with an airline emergency situation in which the airline has had trouble with its controls and its pilot Yeager handles the situation very comically and adeptly. It was hard for the passengers that they were in an emergency situation, judging by the way in which the pilot spoke. These, according to Wolfe’s descriptions, are greatness of Yeager, who with his enthralling Appalachian accent, could move mountains in a very casually seeming way. Yeager had fought during the Second ...

The issue of Latino/a identity is not an easy one. Like many other ethnic groups in the USA, Latino/a community demands respect for their historical experience and political ideologies as well as recognition of their civil rights and socio-economic status in the U.S. society. Suzanne Oboler et al. in Latino Identities and Ethnicities try to emphasize the complexity of Latino/a identity both in terms of terminology and national references. Though not differentiating the terms “Hispanic” and “Latino” in Latino Identities and Ethnicities, Suzanne Oboler et al. point out that many others do see the difference since a great number ...

Hart Crane's "To Brooklyn Bridge" is a rare poem that effectively uses diction to convey the immensity of something as large as a bridge. "To Brooklyn Bridge" is much more than a dedication to the famous bridge. The poem's word choice represents the grandiosity of the bridge itself. Its diction and tone combine to achieve a quintessential work that accurately depicts the size and importance of the Brooklyn bridge to New Yorkers and non-New Yorkers alike.

In the first stanza, Crane asks a question in a rather inquisitive tone. "How many dawns, chill from his rippling rest/The seagull’ ...

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 ...

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 campaign elections can ...

Al Capone was a gangster who ran an organized crime syndicate back in the 1920s in the Chicago area during the Prohibition era. Despite his role in various crimes, Capone was a charming gangster who was both charitable and amiable to others. His demeanor was opposite the power and viciousness of his personality, which is why he became an iconic image of the successful American gangster. 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 immigrants. ...

Furthermore, I have always wanted to learn more about what people can do to better themselves. Realizing that I want to help people with their own emotional and life-related problems was a huge moment for me, and one that has brought me to ...

Before his death of a heroin overdose in 2009, New York artist Dash Snow was responsible for a rolling piece of art called “Nest Project,” which consisted of shredded paper soaked in urine and semen, covered in artwork about bestiality with text about a sexual orgy at Ground Zero, the sight of the 9-11 terrorist attacks (Feuer &Salkin).

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:

Premise 2: The land on which the Meteorite rested ...
