Essays on Crew

Introduction

Many people are affected by maritime safety. A safe and efficient shipping network determines a significant part of the global population safety. The international management code for the safe operation of ships and pollution prevention (ISM code) was adopted in 1993 and was made compulsory in 1998. This code sets up safety-management goals and calls for safety management system to be established by the ship-owners or ship managers. Further, the company is required to develop a way of achieving the set goals; which include making available necessary resources required to offer support for the set objectives. The code also Continue reading...

Amelia Earhart
Amelia Earhart was born July 24, 1897, to a lawyer's family. Her love for aircraft came during the World War I. Amelia was a nurse in the hospital next to the airfield. Not long before the round the world flight Earhart wrote that her two biggest desires were: to be the first woman in transatlantic flight (at least as a passenger) and the first woman-pilot to cross the Atlantic. Both her wishes came true. In June 1928, she flew from the U.S. to England, as passenger. And then four years later, May 20, 1932, she has repeated Continue reading...

Industry Paper

Application of the Crew Resource Management (CRM) Concepts, Philosophies, and Application in the Health Care Industry
Introduction
The aviation industry has been using the Crew Resource Management (CRM) program to improve air safety through reducing the number of fatal accidents caused by human error. The Crew Resource Management (CRM) is, therefore, a group of tools and techniques that can be used by the team to reduce error in human performance. Many other industries that are affected by error in humans have borrowed from the aviation industry and adopted the Crew Resource Management (CRM) concepts, philosophies, and application. The foundation Continue reading...

Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music (1994) was a case decided by the United States Supreme Court in 2001, and was an extremely important decision regarding copyright fair use.
The case was based on a copyright infringement dispute over the song “Pretty Woman,” written and registered for copyright protection in 1964 by Roy Orbison, and famously associated with the motion picture of the same name. In 1989, the music group 2 Live Crew created a version of “Pretty Woman” which used the title lyrics and the opening instrumental riff of Orbison’s song.

In spite of the fact that significant milestones have been made in airline technology, cases of many commercial airlines landing on the wrong airports continue to be on the rise. Although cases of commercial aircraft landing on the wrong airfield are not very common, this does not imply that they are unheard of in the United States. Commercial flights in the United States landed or began to land erroneously in other airports several times in the last two decades. However, the actual figures could be higher than the ones reported by the media and the relevant authorities. There are Continue reading...

Aliens Films (1979-1997)

What is the significance of events in films? Are all the bits and pieces in films intentionally included by directors? These are some of the questions I asked myself as I set out on a comprehensive analysis of the audience message in the Aliens Films (1979-1997). According to film analyst Greg Smith, different events in films are not to be treated as accidental encounters of random occurrence and spontaneity. They are instead purposefully planned series of events with cause and effect and with nothing left to chance (Greg 128). Greg explains that Hollywood films are inadvertently one of the Continue reading...

Literature

In Chapter 3, George, in Ninety Percent of Everything, writes about the life of seafarers from the 1900s to the present. In bringing to life the world of the seafarers of the 1900s, George writes that there was so much at stake before the advent of technology. Who would have thought that life at sea could have been so tough, when all people do, is talk about the adventure and pleasure of travel that is associated with it. This, she says, is far from true. Carrying cargo from one corner of the earth to the other involved a lot Continue reading...

Background of the Titanic

The Titanic carried 2,227 people before the ship sank. The sinking of the ship can be attributed to the negligence of the captain of the ship. Before the occurrence of the instance, the titanic ship was warned six times of sea ice on 14 April but unfortunately, it travelled at a maximum speed towards the sighted iceberg. After it approached the region, the captain’s efforts did not work since titanic failed to turn quickly as it was required.
It was not until the captains of the ship realized that the ship was to starting to sink than Continue reading...

Gallery 155 at the Metropolitan museum of Art showcases Athenian Art, mostly vases with black figures that depict scenes from Mythology and actual life in Athens. Also in display are helmets, vests and knives from 7th century BC. While the vases are descriptive with exquisite painting of scenes from mythology, the bronze artifacts are rather telling of the war they were used for. The helmets, the body vests and the knives, although old and rusty are in good shape and can tell the viewer about the size of the person who used it. The fact that they survived this Continue reading...

What with the advent of CGI and other forms of computer animation, it is now almost impossible to tell what is real and what is computerized in movies. Taking a look back at movies made in earlier times can sometimes leave those films open to ridicule, unless one takes the time to consider the technology that was available when those movies were made. One example would be the original version of Clash of the Titans. From a modern point of view, the doddering movements of the Kraken and other creatures, as well as the wavering flight of the enchanted Continue reading...

There are clears facts here. First, CareFree Jet focuses on cutting costs and maximizing profits and is, as part of this goal, using Ace (underpaid and used as the manager deems fit). Second, CareFree Jet’s emphasis on profits is putting at risk the lives of passengers (such as mechanical problems to the planes.
This raises an ethical issue. Ace, aware of the situation, is divided between his civic duties (as a pilot) to report the matter to concerned authorities and just go on an act like nothing is wrong, considering his private plans and financial needs (which might Continue reading...

Similarly, the resistance during the middle passage was difficult to achieve. This is so because the existence of cramped and filthy space in the ship made cooperation difficult. The extreme shortage of the holdings also caused the hostility among the slaves. The situation of the holding area contributed to slave madness and ended up killing each other to secure a room to breathe. It was difficult to Continue reading...

Question one

It is commendable for the highway administrator to come up with a highway improvement program. It is a representation of strategic processes of carrying out activities in any organization. He has come up with a practical goal setting program that may be extremely useful if various elements were considered as well as others improved in the implementation process. In this case, elements such as job performance and satisfaction for the employer need to be evaluated.
The first problem that may be identified in this goal setting program is the assumption that it was possible to test crews’ performance based Continue reading...

Whilst there have been many space missions – the majority either under the auspices of the National Science and Aeronautics Administration (NASA), or the European Space Agency (ESA) or the Russian Aviation and Space Agency – famously including manned landings on the moon (NASA), the most successful mission of all time in terms of space travel must surely be the creation, construction and the successful continued existence and operation of the international Space Station (ISS). A key purpose of the ISS has been to evaluate the effects on humans of lengthy exposure to conditions in space – an essential step Continue reading...

Introduction

There is currently considerable debate about whether or not the U.S. space program should continue, particularly bearing in mind its huge costs in these times of austerity, when budgets everywhere are subject to severe constraints, from government level down to individual households. Also, because manned space exploration is not without risk (witness the Challenger and Columbia disasters in 1986 and 2003 respectively that cost the lives of all seven crew members in each case), many question whether those risks are justified; what does humanity gain from space travel that can cause the risks to be considered worthwhile? This research Continue reading...
