    I learned more than I ever imagined on my summer study abroad trip to Costa Rica. I learned that Costa Rica is a country like no other. The country is much different than what the United States of America is like. The lifestyles, customs, and practices of Costa Rica are very different than those that I am accustomed to. As an outsider looking into the country, I saw a country that is very poor financially but very rich in spirit. They do not appreciate wealth as United States citizens do, but instead appreciate love and gratitude. I noticed that Costa Ricans have very strong family values and cultural roots.

    ...hrow off the balance of the ecosystem. Different marine biodiversity requires different types of ways to conserve them, some need government and some do not. Depending on the different types of technology of public goods supplied, there are different ways to and different methods to preserve the marine biodiversity. We have looked at the different types of externalities that are associated with impure public goods (in this case marine biodiversity). We also looked at the three types of technology of public good supplies and see why it affects marine biodiversity. Lastly, we have discussed the incentives to conserve marine biodiversity, both private solutions and public solutions. To put it briefly, “wildlife exploitation and conservation involves various costs and benefits, which should all be taken into account to achieve an optimal outcome.” (Bulte, 1)

Jose Arcadio Buendia feels the insatiable need to relocate to fulfill his craving for exploration, but Ursula will not stand for it and declares “we will not leave…we will stay here, because we have a son here” (14).

    Its home to many endemic animals. A Republican lawmaker has reversed a plan to sell off millions of acres of federally owned land after outcry from conservative and sports groups. (Abram). “Americans share ownership of approximately 600 million acres of land and water in the United States. These "public lands" include federal designations like national parks, forests, wildlife refuges and monuments, as well as state and local areas owned by the public” (“Protecting Public Lands”). That means anyone who pays taxes is a part owner of these public spaces. “Last I checked, hunters and fishermen were taxpayers,” says Jason Amaro,who represents the south-west chapter of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers. “That word ‘disposible’ is scary. It’s not ‘disposable’ for an outdoorsman” (Sainatio). The hunters and fisherman are mad because they pay their taxes, and part of that tax money is used to maintain these wild places. For a lawmaker to just come in and change that, because, according to him, the land is “disposable”. This is unacceptable to those who use this land. People rely on these federal lands, and to know that someone can just go and take that land from you like it didn’t mean or didn’t have use too you really angers people. These arguments were enough to get Jason Chaffetz to withdraw his bill. “I'm a proud gun owner, hunter and love our public

Tourists should be encouraged to learn about the environment and culture before, during, and after their vacation to areas, and they should make efforts to make meaningful connections to people and places so that they have reasons for treating the place well and coming back to check on things (insuring the vacation spot isn’t single-use or disposable). These kinds of efforts will insure better treatment of places and peoples by increasing the connected worth in travelers’ minds. Through practical legislation and enforcement along with caring and connected approaches to travel, tourism can become a positive element in the continued development of marketable tourist attractions.
