1. The stakeholders in this incident included both individuals as well as large organizations. They consist of the FAA, JKF officials, pilots, passengers, the controller and his supervisor. Those stakeholders can be further subdivided into primary and secondary stakeholders. The primary stakeholders are the ones ultimately and directly affected by the incident and its outcome, the controllers and his supervisor are an example of that. Secondary stakeholders are the intermediates who are indirectly affected by the outcome of this event, an example of that would be the general public that were not present at the airport that day. Each and every one of the stakeholders had something to lose or gain. Both the FAA and JFK officials had their reputation on the line. The FAA released a statement saying that these kinds of distractions are totally unacceptable. They also expressed that behavior of the control tower operator did not reflect the true caliber of their work force (Brown, 2). At the same time, the FAA utilized this incident to their advantage. They used it as a way to directly focus on reform policies regarding control towers in our nation’s airports. They had also gained the media attention and the outrage surrounding this unpleasant incident. The controller and his supervisor did not have much to gain; on the contrary, they might end up losing their jobs. Pilots had different opinions when it came to this incident. Some did not care while others expressed disapproval. The pilots directly involved in this incident expressed their disappointment in the FAA’s decision. One pilot appeared delighted by the message transmitted by the child; he said “I wish I could bring my kid to work” (Brwon, 1). Just as expected, the general p...

... lot more attention due to the fact that it came less than seven months after the incident at the Teterboro airport. A controller was placed on leave for similar actions. The controller was recorded joking on the phone with his girlfriend as he dispatched instructions to a small plane. That led to a deadly crash between a helicopter and the small plane over the Hudson River. The controller ended the call when he realized the plane had dropped out of radio contact, just seconds before the crash (Meals, 1).
Some think that the control tower incident at JFK got simply blown out of proportion. Many expressed their disappointment in the way the FAA handled the situation. Some pilots simply think it is a case of the media preaching aviation safety to the general public. As a result of the event, the FAA banned any unauthorized personnel from accessing the control tower.

manifestation of Beloved. In her internal monologue, Sethe reinforces the exclusivity of her milk to her children, as “nobody will ever get [her] milk no more except [her] own children” (200). Although she no longer lives in Sweet Home, Sethe still remembers and references the time where she was abused under cruel conditions, and works harder than ever to provide a positive environment for her children, both Denver and
Bound by Southern ideals, growing up in the 1940s and 1950s was a battle of change and resistance. As outside social influences began to meander into the lives of those living in the South, children were veering off the path of what a normal, obedient Southern child should act like. As observed in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” and The Princess and the Frog, defying Southern norms was difficult. These stories had significant relational themes whether is was the unsaid battle of
summer program in the Maine woods that trained me and then tested me on thirty-two outdoor skills: canoeing, navigation, fire building, axemanship, and more. My unit cooked boiled water on a rinky-dink coleman gas stove, which we then bored into a tin percolator full of generic brand coffee. The result was a tolerable cup of coffee, especially when combined with instant cocoa powder. I returned home a changed woman, all grown-up. Equally proud of my ability to fell a tree and drink a cup of
“Mendacity is the system that we live in,” a systematic conveyer belt spewing lies continuously until all that is left is grey area. The lines between storytelling versus lying can potentially become blurred, but in the theatre it does not matter whether there is truth because the true purpose is self-reflection. Other people’s stories allow a degree of separation and a more objective understanding of society and the conflicts that are faced. Many times this grasping of self is achieved through understanding

This viewpoint of the contemporary manifests itself in the onward march of technological progress and the innate human desire to advance and improve on those that came before us.

Common Courtesy on the Road to Tartarus Todd Schwartz’s “America Jerk” and Martin Gottfried’s “Rambos of the Road” both discuss behavioral issues in today’s culture. From annoying cellphone ringtones to getting elbowed off the highway, these two essays are the epitome of rudeness. “Civility is dead, jerks” (Schwartz 55). “Rambos of the Road” is about people’s rude and reckless actions on the road while “American Jerk” talks about the actions of individuals carrying out their everyday tasks. In both
The concept of compassion is taught to the children through the aphorism of “‘consider[ing] things from his [other people’s] point of view… climb into his skin and walk around in it’” (Lee 30). In a town where ignorance rules, it is especially hard for the children to remain true to their morals. Atticus instills the teaching of skin walking to have his children consider life from other’s perspectives. When walking into someone else’s skin, the children are feeling what it is like to be that person
others, the mother is the foundation. During the 1930s most families depended off of the father.

Indian Genocide The United States government used military force to follow a policy of genocide toward the Native Americans. Politically, the policies of removal, concentration, and assimilation caused the death of thousands of Native Americans. Economically, the United States government used military force whenever any valuable resource was discovered on Indian Land. Socially, the near extermination of the Buffalo caused starvation and death among the tribes. The evidence clearly indicates that
him and seen his work, at least in reproduction--was in the tens, possibly hundreds, of millions. He and his work were the subjects of analysis, gossip, dislike, adoration and rumor. He was a superstitious, sarcastic man, sometimes rotten to his children, often mean to his women. He had contempt for women artists. His famous remark about women being "goddesses or doormats" has rendered him odious to feminists, but women tended to walk into both roles open-eyed and eagerly, for his charm was legendary
responsibilities were similar to those they had at home. Cooking cleaning, doing laundry, entertaining children etc. was women’s work, but these obligations were much more difficult being in the middle of nowhere. Women also had extra duties, such as packing up the wagon, making sure their children were with them, and taking on their husband’s role when he fell sick. It was common for children to be left behind amongst all the chaos, fall out of the wagon, or become struck with a disease. Mothers
