Large Events Of Philadelphia

The Las Vegas and Atlantic City locations have lost revenues in recent years. In addition to the economic slowdown, these gambling locations are also facing new competitors in the market that are providing attractive choices to the customers. Though there are some external forces beyond their control, it seems that attractiveness and accessibility are very important focus areas for these cities.

In wealthy markets, the leisure and pleasure sectors outperform the economy in general. It is usually the case that, as people become wealthier, their extra income is not spent on upgrading the essentials but on pleasure and luxury items. However, whenever there is a downturn in the economy, the leisure sectors suffer more than others.

Although this helped stimulate the American economy, it had an adverse affect on large cities. Places like New

Inspired by the Wilmington Riots of 1898, Charles Chesnutt delves deep into the racial tensions of the South in his novel On the Marrow of Tradition. Despite being set well after the end of the Civil War, the struggle between the black and white races is far from over. The white race insists on maintaining complete control in every aspect of society, including personal matters. They are constantly demanding that the black community serve them. On the other end, the black race is struggling to survive the harsh conditions the white-dominated society imposes on them. Throughout the novel, Chesnutt reminds us of the ongoing battle between the two races. At the same time, Chesnutt explores the effect this has on various members in society. The youngest two characters in the novel, Dodie and Doctor Miller’s son, exemplify the conditions and consequences for the black and white races. Although they seem to be secondary characters in On the Marrow of Tradition, both Dodie and Doctor Miller’s son play a crucial role in the representation of their respective races.

In May of 1787, fifty-five delegates from all states except for Rhode Island held a convention in Philadelphia (Henretta, 2012, pg.184). The convention later known as the Philadelphia Convention. The goal was to determine the future of the Republican Government. The nationalist composed of an elite group of well-educated men. Unfortunately, the most influential members such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Sam Adams, and Patrick Henry would not be attending (Henretta, 2012, pg. 185). The convention would back down from the demands of delegates from southern states. Without the importation of African slaves continued their states would not be part of the Union (Henretta, 2012, pg. 187). Leaving the southern states free to determine the legal ramifications of slavery in their own states. For the sake of more arguments, not for lack of concern. Delegates recognized the contradiction of slavers and the republican principle, but assume that it would eventually die out.

Economic factors have contributed to the revitalization process of central business and residential districts of cities in the United States. Tourism has effect the revitalization process of cities throughout America. One of the most popular tourist attraction within the world is the Eiffel Tower which is located in Paris, France. Annually, the attraction receives 7,000,000, which drastically impacted the country’s central business district. Since more people are located within that area, different facilities and tourism attractions had to be constructed. In terms of housing, opposed to less populated areas, larger infrastructure such as buildings and hotels had

Sixteen Most Significant Events in U.S. History between 1789 to 1975 After a review of United States' history from 1789 to 1975, I have identified what I believe are the sixteen most significant events of that time period. The attached sheet identifies the events and places them in brackets by time period. The following discussion provides my reasoning for selecting each of the events and my opinion as to their relative importance in contrast to each other. Finally, I have concluded that of the sixteen events, the Civil War had the most significant impact on the history of the time period in which it occurred and remains the most significant event in American history.

Throughout the years of 1866-1905 there was countless events that happened, many changed American in plenty of ways. The reconstruction and rise of the Ku Klux Klan, the Great Strike of 1877, a collision of cultures at Wounded Knee and immigration in the late 19th and early 20th centuries are major events that happened during this time period. Every one of the events made an effect on how the United States is today. Even though some of the events ended up in losing some people, they were all fighting for a huge cause that they believed in.

In the late 1840’s there was unrest in the major metropolitan cities in the United States. The principal reason was immigration on the East coast in cities from Boston to New Orleans. There was an unprecedented influx of mainly Irish and later Italians immigrants. Most of these migrants were Catholic and were a despised minority of most of the Protestants in those areas. Like many other cities, Philadelphia had its fair share of incidents involving the immigrants and the American born Nativist (native-born Protestant citizens). The spark that ignited the 1844 Philadelphia riots was the issue of Bible readings in the public schools. Children who attended public school were required to read from the King James Bible.

My first step in the process of researching this topic was to access the KU library resources, such as articles and database that relate to the World Series, Royals and Economy. For the first time in 30 years, the Kansas City royals won the World Series. Not only was this win monumental for the royals record but also it was an amazing game that was won in extra innings. The excitement in KC was unimaginable. The parade brought out what was estimated at about 800,000 Royals fans. Since the Royals had not won the World Series in 30 years the city went wild. This monumental moment in history meant lots of spirit wear sold and lots of advertising and moneymaking opportunities for local businesses. The parade in down town KC brought in customers for any and all businesses. I want to know exactly how the royal’s win affected the economy in KC.

Undeniably there are thousands of people who live in Orlando, Florida but there is not an abundance of people who were born here (such as me); some have moved here for various reasons: because of the weather and great opportunities that we offer. As a native Floridian, I have seen changes in the community (some good and bad). According to statistics it is considered the 3rd largest city in the world visited by tourist: our major attractions are Universal Orlando Resort, SeaWorld, and Disney World (which employs 50,000 people). Undoubtedly Florida receives a large amount of their income from tourist trade ($973 billion); and depends heavily on these visitors to return year after year to visit the Sunshine State. When people from

Research of social impact of events is one of the emerging topics in event management literature and has a great degree of importance for a variety of different reasons considering their short term, high profile and a relatively profound effect on everyday life of local communities. (Ritchie

Also, DCMS built on Our Promise for 2012, in which the fifth promise was to demonstrate the UK is a creative, inclusive and welcoming place to live in, visit and for business. To achieve this promise, DCMS stated the plan that make the most of the long-term tourism benefits that the Games will bring nationwide (Our promise for 2012, 2015). As the nature of international tourism is exported service and goods, which has a significant proportion of economic outcome in tourism industry, this paper is aimed to analyse the impact of 2012 London Olympic Games on the inbound tourism in London and the UK. The impacts of the 2012 London Olympic Games on inbound tourism can cover a wide range of aspects, including service improvement, infrastructure improvement, star-hotel increase, tourist flows and so on; nevertheless, this paper will only focus on two aspects: overseas visitor arrivals and spending and destination image improvement.

Another aspect of impact of tourism on a country’s economy is that it facilitates the expansion of the market of goods and services. Foreigners come to a country willing to spend money on different goods and services, thus increasing the amounts of sales. This is a great chance for producers and service providers to receive larger profits. This concerns not only hoteliers, tour operators, and souvenir shops owners. Public transportation, retail stores of different kind, restaurants, and cafes benefit from international tourism. Obviously, if these industries are in demand, businesses will be expanding. On the one hand, it means that more money is paid to the budget. On the other hand, profits generated by the owners are spent inside the country, affecting almost all the fields of the
