Economic, Social and Environmental Impacts of Tourism in the Lake District
In the Lake District tourism is very important and has a significant
impact on the local economy.
But there is concern about the Lake District and how much more
development it can take from the tourism industry.
The Lake District remained relatively untouched until the 19th century
when railways allowed the large urban population of Northwest England
to visit the National Park. Tourism and trade rose in the 1940's and
it was realised that the park would need some special protection to
protect it against the dangers of becoming to built up and loosing its
natural attraction and appeal.
Over 12 million people visit the park with 89% coming by car. The Lake
District has 42,000 people living there.
In Cumbria the estimated amount of jobs that tourism supports is
42,000 or 17% I.E. hotels, catering and the distribution trade.
Tourism also supports local services that are an advantage to the
local's and well as tourists such as the busses and rail network and
village shops and pubs, these all serve the locals of the Lake
District as well as the tourists who visit.
People are however worried that, although tourism does allow for
better services that benefit the community, like busses and trains and
more jobs, the tourism industry may be ruining the local beauty of the
Lake District and that any more developments such as roads, car parks,
hotels etc may be adding to this problem. As well as building and
infrastructure developments another thing that may be ruining the
place is the erosion of footpaths, clearings being made in woodland
for picnic areas...

... This example shows how there are two sides to the story and this can
be done for hotels, signs and advertisements and footpaths and
traffic.
The key is finding a balance between the conservation of both the
tourism industry and the countryside. Which these organisations hope
they are doing…
* Cumbria tourist board (encourages visitors to lake district,
provides framework for developments)
* The national trust (conserving the national park)
* Lake district national park authority, (traffic management,
footpath trust, development and planning.)
* British upland footpath trust (national trust, English nature and
the national park authority)
All the organisations are involved in some way in conserving the Lake
District. And at some point they all come together to help each other.
Marcus Aurelius once said; “Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.” This seems to be the case with Angela Betzein’s “Girl Who Cried Wolf,” where the playwright strives to include real-world issues and provide a deeper meaning. The fictional setting and characters are designed to hide hidden layers that may be familiar to the reader, prompting them to uncover the truth for themselves of places and people they might know.
The Management of Tourism at Hengistbury Head Introduction = == == == ==
Edward O. Wilson, the writer of this satire, writes about the opinions of two disagreeing sides to demonstrate the unproductive nature of these litigations. To do this, the author writes in a horatian manner and uses instances of exaggeration, parody, incongruity, and irony to help him convey his message that these arguments are pointless. The well distributed use of these strategies allows the writer to efficiently illustrate and mock the unproductive disagreement of these two groups of people.
Impacts of Tourism in Swanage Tourism has the potential to create impacts on the environment and communities that it relies on to accommodate visitors. Its impacts are mitigated by the long history of tourism activity. Communities have become used to tourism activity, and management measures to limit some areas of environmental damage have been implemented. Nevertheless, some impacts are far ranging, and they are set out below: * Inappropriate Development An increase in visitors can lead to pressure for new developments to serve and capitilise on their needs, eg. Caravan parks, visitor centres, cafes, signs, car parks, and additional accommodation.
That the author not only has the right to say what they are but that their reasoning is the logical choice. In Jeff Jacoby’s work “Bring back Flogging” he tries to establish credit by starting his article by listing occurrences in the past when people were flogged and then announces what his real purpose is. By opening with a history of flogging instead of giving his position right away Jacoby widens his audience to readers with a different position. Readers will get invested in the argument before the meat of the article and will be more inclined to continue reading. Jacoby’s article is, however, one-sided; he doesn’t write the whole argument so it is difficult for his audience to draw their own
Stories are our essence of life. They grow and change with us. They allow us to reconstruct the pas, and put our slant on things. They don’t’ have make sense, and they don’t all have to be fact. That’s what kind of story this is.
In conclusion the whole idea is alarming. How could anyone possibly get so egotistical and self-centered? The Lie is one prime example of how our culture has been divided and distorted. Some put their own well being into others, perhaps because of a missed opportunity, or maybe just because of their state of mind. Image, special privileges, and fear of disappointing are just some of the things that classify both the story and our sub culture. It is a wonder if we will ever stop putting so much on numbers and grades, and start focusing on what is really important: learning. The sub culture sure needs to.

In this essay, I attempted to combine two sources and analyze them each by itself first and then combine it at the end. I think I did a good job analyzing and interpreting what Ellen DeGeneres was saying in her article. This essay was more difficult than the other essays for me because it is hard to apply the examples and try to combine two different sources to make a compare and contrast paper make sense.
Actions are either classified as right or wrong with no allowance for a gray area. Furthermore, the strict guidelines tend to conflict with commonly accepted actions. For example, lying is always considered morally wrong--even a “white lie.” Therefore, one must not lie even if it does more good. In our society although individuals accept lying as being morally wrong, “white lies” have become an exception.
My choosing this story for an analysis is based on what I think is the very
