2012

As a consequence, hosting the Olympics is a good opportunity to create new jobs whether these jobs are permanent or temporary ones. To illustrate this point, London 2012 Olympics has created almost million jobs, where about 200,000 jobs which were created at the time of the Olympic games (Prynn,2012, para.12).In addition, the money is earned the host country from sports tourism. For example, Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics received 6.52 million tourists, as well as 382,000 from foreign countries. It was estimated the total profit of sports tourism during this event in china about $23 million (chinaview.cn, 2008, para.1&2). Socially, improving city 's infrastructure and transportation services as a result of the repairs that are done to receive the Olympic games is necessarily made the city more beautiful. To elucidate this point, the ice skating venues that were established for the 2014 winter Olympics in Sochi , the old summer capital of Rusia, look like…

The Olympics are far more than a sporting event. Existing in their modern form for hundreds of years, and in various others for thousands, they have shaped the culture of countries in the global community (Hayes, 2012). Despite their cultural significance, in recent years many concerns have risen over the environmental implications that the hosting city of the games sustains with the construction, influx of visitors, and the games themselves.

I believe that the Eikmeier Center of Gravity (COG) Methodology, is the best method of identifying a COG for three reasons: It is testable, it defines the COG at the strategic and operational level, and it has a more comprehensive analytical approach. Firstly, the Eikmeier and Godzilla methodologies are testable, but the Critical Factor Analysis (CFA) isn’t. The CFA is already at a disadvantage down at the tactical level because testability is a crucial piece of intelligence that validates the…

From the ALS ice bucket challenge to the dress color war, people always hop on the bandwagon to be like everyone else that’s participating in the trend. Most social media trends tend to be lighthearted, fun challenges or trends; however, there are some occasional trends that tend to be more serious than others, such as Kony 2012.

utilizes the fear that anti-GMO organizations instil on the people they are trying to convince. This fear is put in place by claims that GMOs are unsafe, unhealthy, or deadly, however, this has not been proven. Much of the anti-GMO argument lacks accurate scientific evidence that can convince the majority of the science committee as well as the majority of Americans. Recently, many anti-GMO organizations have pushed for the labelling of GMO foods in grocery stores, and has led to Proposition 37.…
