Vietnam Veterans' Memorial and Postmodernism, 2003.
Rhetorical analysis of the Vietnam Veterans' Memorial in Washington D.C.

Abstract
Modernism is the search for a universality. The break from this search is creatively named postmodernism. Postmodernism is the belief that there is no universal constant and that everything is subject to context. The Vietnam Veterans' Memorial is an example of postmodern architecture. The wall is significant because it is one of the first memorials in this country to break from the modern view of architecture. By using postmodern ideological criticism of the Vietnam Veterans' Memorial, this paper discovers that remembrance is a non-universal act, different for every person.
From the Paper
"On April 19, 2000 the Oklahoma City Memorial opened to the public. The Memorial was built to remember the tragic events of five years earlier, the bombing of the Alfred P Murrah federal building in downtown Oklahoma City. The memorial was designed by Hans and Torrey Butzer. The Butzers were the winners of a competition pool of over 630 entries. The design for the memorial is based heavily on the postmodern nature of the Butzers? architectural upbringing. The University of Texas at Austin?s school of architecture is known for its postmodern views of form and function."

An overview of the history and geography of the Caribbean Sea.

Abstract
This paper ventures into the Caribbean Sea through the eyes of a tourist traveling to the region for the first time and seeing many wonderful revelations. It discusses the history of the Caribbean Sea, including both the body of water and the region, from its discovery by Columbus in 1492 to its use by the U.S. Navy. It looks at how it is the lifeline of an entire region, helping many nations subsist as a food, travel, and trade source, and how its effect on the world has been immense.
From the Paper
"But while tourists bring money and jobs to the region, they are also destroying the Caribbean?s most valuable asset. In one study, tourists were found to use over three times as much water as local inhabitants of the islands. Sleeping in lush hotels, tourists demand that linens and towels be washed every day using harmful soaps and chemicals that will be later dumped into the sea. The coral reefs in the Bahamas, for example, are being killed by the pollution drifting atop the water which blocks necessary sunlight. Tourists also often wish to take home the reefs and end up picking away the most beautiful of the water?s possessions for sale or souvenir (Young Reporters)."

From the Paper
"During the last four decades tourism has become one of the world?s largest and fastest growing industries. As an industry, tourism in 1996 directly and indirectly generated and supported 204 million jobs world-wide, equivalent to more than 10% of the world?s workforce - a figure which is forecast to rise to over 11% during the first years of the new millennium. Tourism is in other words of great economic importance and new ?tourism areas? are constantly being developed, implying that consumers have even more destinations available to choose from when going on vacation. Moreover, people are travelling increasingly, among other things due to more flexible working hours and rising levels of disposable income. Furthermore, transportation networks have become more efficient which makes it possible to travel to any destination in the world within relatively few hours. The growing importance of tourism implies that national tourism boards around the world face intensive competition in the battle of attracting tourists. Hence, tourism marketers are faced with the challenge of developing new and different marketing strategies that will differentiate a destination from its competitors."

Abstract
Ireland?s culture is diverse and extensive. This paper sheds light on many aspects that make Ireland a unique country. A heavily-sourced essay that covers the geography, culture, history, and economy of Ireland.
From the Paper
"Due to rising tension and resentment of British rule over Ireland an uprising of Irish citizens began on Easter Monday April 24, 1916. Patrick Pearse read a proclamation announcing the establishment of the Irish republic under an interim government. Elsewhere in Dublin, armed men of the Irish Citizens Army took control of four key points in Dublin. The Irish Citizens Army received assistance from Germany, which was a key factor in them obtaining supplies to aid the revolution against Britain. This particular revolt was unsuccessful, yet it led the way for further revolts (Irelandseye, 2002)."

Tourism and the Environment, 2003.

Abstract
Proponents for environmental sustainability and promoters of the tourism industry have long been at odds with each other, both working feverishly to realize their respective objectives, while butting heads the entire way. There is no arguing the fact that man's presence has caused serious and even irreparable harm to the environment, but there is also no way to avoid the continued encroachment inherent to tourism. This paper explores whether the two can find a way to exist in a symbiotic fashion without causing more damage.
From the Paper
"It has been a problem environmentalists have grappled with for decades: the continuing degradation of public lands by tourists. For example, national and state parks are showing signs of intense wear as people traipse along off-the-beaten-track and do not follow the unspoken law of the land: tread lightly and leave no trace. Also significant to the drastic devastation tourists continue to wreak upon national and state parks is the increased use of motorized recreational vehicles that do nothing more than rip up the land. Not only is the sound of these all-terrain vehicles, snowmobiles and personal watercraft imposing upon those who seek the peace and quiet inherently associated with the outdoors, but they also create "lots of environmental problems" (Lloyd, 1998, p. 3), such as tremendous traffic problems, air & water pollution, as well as a considerable cost to society."

Abstract
This paper is written in response to Beverly Haviland?s ?The Return of the Alien: Henry James in New York, 1904?. In her piece of writing, Haviland discusses James? return to the United States after an absence of over twenty years. She details how James had to redefine ?his conception of national identity in a way that bears careful consideration for what it suggests about how ethnic and racial identities are formed and transformed over time and under changing circumstances?. Although Haviland writes a useful introduction to this topic, there are a number of issues that she either misses or appears to misinterpret. It is the intention of this article to identify and then expand upon or correct these aspects. This paper argues that Haviland lacks a holistic approach to studying issues of identity and gives several examples of this and counter-arguments too.
From the Paper
"However, identity may not be explained by cultural and economic factors alone. Also important are political and social factors relevant to the era. Politically, the period of James? writing at the turn of the twentieth century was one of radical change with the industrial revolution and America?s increasingly active participation in international issues (including both civil and state wars). Socially, there were repercussions from these other factors such as the development of distinct sections of society: the rich and the poor, the urban and the rural, the civilized and the uncouth."
