Introduction: According to Thaden and Alyssa (2008), “human error is the main cause of flight accidents in complex systems.

In aviation, it is true that human error leads to accidents in the sky, but it is also true that for every accident that happens on the air, the airline company reviews their ...

This meant that the passenger airlines were only limited to competing only for food, the quality of the cabin crew and the frequency available. This caused a ...

Comparing the two scenarios of the immigrant’s situation and Reagan’s speech is largely what makes this short film so powerful. The man ...

Exams were finally over, and I had all kinds of thoughts about how I would spend my summer holiday. It was my final year of college and my last summer with my friends, most of whom we would have to part ways since I was a foreign student and planned to travel home after my last semester. My girlfriend, Bella, short for Anabel, had that look of expectation toward a great summer when she saw me.

Globalization and growing interdependencies between states all over the world have determined an ever growing demand for the development of commercial aviation. The global airline industry is currently characterized with rapid growth. Thus, the revenue, generated by the industry has more than doubled over the past decade (PwC Strategy&, 2015).

Important trends, characterizing the development of the modern aviation industry, are as follows. Firstly, carriers are ...

Factors driving the already witnessed demand for airline travel can be attributed to the sum of two different kinds of demand growths: First is the underlying demand increase, which naturally occurs with time even at present real-price rates and is propelled by individual factors external to the industry (Bieger, 2011). Such growths are propelled by major factors such as increases in consumer’s disposable income, trade, population and changes in consumer taste and preferences. Second is the induced demand growth which arises whenever airlines decide to raise the capacity of the markets well above the underlying demand growth (Bieger, ...

Documentary photography is often used as a synonym for photojournalism, and the documentarians are seen as a different species of the photographer. The idea of a film with a purpose and documentary character can be traced back to France (What Is Documentary Photography 2013). Documents were seen as a form of evidence to teach something or inform. However, even the most abstract photographic images carry an image. It is when a photograph is taken with the lens cap on to create a document of worth; one reaches an entirely different platform. Alfred Stieglitz and his photograph Steerage of 1907 ...

We Can Remember It for You Wholesale (Phillip K. Dick) – Air Raid (John Varley). ‘We Can Remember It for You Wholesale’ is a futuristic short story written by Phillip K. Dick, centered on the concept of memory manipulation. It takes on the undiscovered fields of new age science. The concepts involved in the short story are so complex and underdeveloped even in this age and time. But still the author immaculately and ostentatiously nails his narrative. In the same sense, ‘Air Raid’ written by John Varley, seems to be the perfect match for the pairing. Both these short stories ...

Plants undergo two very different types of reproduction – asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction. As plant life on Earth is extremely diverse, it follows that the methods of sexual reproduction among plants would also be quite diverse. Plants employ various techniques to accomplish this sexual reproduction based on their environment and what technique will improve their fitness. The boxelder maple uses wind to disperse the male seeds into the environment to find and fertilize a female plant (Greene & Johnson, 1995). Another plant, a mistletoe, utilizes a marsupial animal to disperse its seeds (Garcia, Rodriguez-Cabal, & Amico, 2009). These two separate but ...

The Reasons Explaining Why Governments are involved in Tourism Development

“The thing about tourism is that the reality of a place is quite different from the mythology of it.” –Martin Parr The above quotation by Martin Parr illustrates one of the negative attributes of tourism, which is to sell a fantastic presentation of a country rather than the real aspects of it. However, it should be understood that this is done to market and brand the country as an attractive tourism product. However, tourism is not a source of income that can be relied on throughout the year by governments. This is because tourism relies on specific seasons and ...

Tourism has been the biggest revenue earner for most of the OECD countries on the continental map.

There are countries that have had a significant growth of the industry, but the economic crunch of 2008 and 2009 worked a dent in the progressive rise of the industry. It triggered a closer scrutiny into the industry and the countries have been on the lookout to guard the same events from happening.

Time was, revenue-obsessed executives and owners used to disregard the social and ethical components to their business.

As demonstrated by Alila Hotels & Resorts, companies can make nature conservation efforts and undertake civil initiatives garnering a massive public support. Towards these ends, resorts can employ local residents, thereby increasing their welfare, train personnel, support the organic food cultivation and local crafts, open and ...

The relationship between ambition and greed is explored in Mike Krath’s “An Ambitious Experiment”. The term ambitious is ambiguous in this title; for ambition usually has to do with self-betterment, whereas this experiment had to do with possible self-betterment while gambling the certain annihilation of the “self”. The husband’s ambition is not clear: is he avoiding family or securing family? The elements of time travel add another dimension to this dilemma. The time travel adds an interesting element to Krath’s tale; it provides a dimension for reflection about whether the “ambition: of the husband is ever ...

Still archrivals, the USA and Russia have not only the different perception of the political world making for their incompatibility, but also quite different political cultures.

The USA scores much higher on the index of equal money-earning and political opportunities. Russia tops the USA with regard to corruption and the lack of the rule of law, the latter being important in the west. Beyond that, the USA is a resident’ centric, ...

The Federal Aviation Act of 1958 (hereafter referred to as “the Act”) was enacted mainly to make provision for promotion and regulation of aviation in the interest of safety and development (Federal Aviation Act, 1958).
