Airline Industry And Tourism
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Ever since the days of Wilbur and Orville Wright, the airplane has undergone perpetual change. What was then an assemblage of haphazard materials is now a sleek and highly tuned piece of aviation equipment comprised of technologically advanced components. What was so integral in the evolution of the Wright brothers' flying contraption? In a word: tourism. The advent of commercial airlines proved able to turn a tidy profit virtually single-handedly by transporting passengers from point A to point B. With each change in design came an increase in speed, thus allowing for faster, safer and more comfortable travel. The writer discusses how contemporary airlines have metamorphosed into an industry that is a larger and more powerful presence in the tourism industry than Wilbur and Orville could ever imagine.

Although History Repeats Itself, It Never Repeats Itself Exactly
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. History has long had a tendency to repeat itself, particularly with regard to war. While this phenomenon never ceases to replicate the past, there are always enough subtle nuances of change that prevent history from repeating itself exactly as before. Two books that address this occurrence are My Lai : A Brief History With Documents by James Stuart Olson & Randy W. Roberts and Douglas V. Porpora's How Holocausts Happen : The United States in Central America, both delving deeply within the psychological basis upon which selective extermination exists and why it has been allowed to continue throughout the years.
