Impressions of Las Vegas Nevada: An Objective and Subjective Overview
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion of the many faces of Las Vegas. When one considers Las Vegas the first thought that comes to mind is almost inevitably that of bright lights and fast lifestyles. It is, equally, however, a city of great decadence and bitter despair. It is a city of great wealth and social depravity, the contrast between the two often resulting in a preponderance of activities which elsewhere are illegal. The author of this paper considers the many issues underlying the glamour of Las Vegas. From her water supply, to her insatiable need for electricity, to her legislative environment, Las Vegas is indeed a city of many contrasts. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Increasing Business-Related Tourism in Philadelphia
[ send me this paper ]
A 15 page paper assessing factors that tourism promoters in Philadelphia should consider in attempting to increase business-related tourism in that city. The paper discusses the economic benefits of tourism and the need for the local community to be involved in the effort, and presents Las Vegas and Hickory, North Carolina as examples of the benefits of business-related tourism. Ensuring a clean, safe environment is the first step toward attracting greater numbers of business travelers. City planners need to ensure that downtown areas are filled with small service businesses rather than empty storefronts. With the city taking the lead, local hotels may begin forming alliances such as those between otherwise unaffiliated hotels in Las Vegas. The adage, "Success breeds success" survives because of the truth contained within it. Bibliography lists 14 sources.

Jan Brunvand’s Works on Urban Legends, “The Vanishing Hitchhiker” and “The Baby Train”: Development of Changes in Format and Presentation
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the differences found in Brunvand’s “The Vanishing Hitchhiker” and “The Baby Train”. Jan Brunvand’s text “The Vanishing Hitchhiker: American Urban Legends and Their Meanings” (1981) introduced a generation to contemporary American urban legends, their origins, their development, and contained detailed accounts as to the depth of research in understanding the legends. Twelve years later, Brunvand released his fifth volume of urban legends entitled “The Baby Train and Other Lusty Urban Legends” (1993). The format of his presentation in this volume changed somewhat to include shorter narratives and less accompanying explanatory statements about each legend. Instead, Brunvand focused much more on the typing and cross-referencing of the legends contained and on the international contexts many have reached. The reason for this change in format was mostly due to the fact that the field and the interest in urban legends had grown a great deal since his original text and because of this Brunvand was able to contain less explanatory text in regards to the research involved and thus avoid repeating himself and offering instead his readers a chance to see the extent of the field and the extent to which the knowledge of urban legends has reached on an international basis as well as an American one.
Bibliography lists 3 sources.

John Kenneth Galbraith's "The Position Of Poverty" And Robert B. Reich's "Why The Rich Are Getting Richer And The Poor, Poorer": Compare/Contrast
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Within the literary boundaries of John Kenneth Galbraith's "The Position Of Poverty" and Robert B. Reich's "Why The Rich Are Getting Richer And The Poor, Poorer," the reader is given a significantly better understanding as to why there exists such a tremendous separation between rich and poor. While Galbraith cites the
curse of capitalism, Reich tends to focus more closely upon the decline in a decently paid workforce, a contrast that effectively distinguishes Reich and Galbraith. Reich notes
that major corporations such as AT&T, American Airlines and General Motors – just to name a few – have ceased taking care of their employees, choosing instead to seek out cheap labor as a means by which to fortify even further their already overflowing money pots. By doing so, one can readily surmise that the middle class is slowly but surely being squeezed out as the separation between upper and lower class. The writer compares and contrasts these articles as they are found in Lee A. Jacobus' "A World of Ideas." No additional sources cited.
