    Analysis Of The Commercialization Of Mount Everest, By Jon Krakauer

    Commercialization of Mount Everest does not only show disrespect toward the goddess by victimizing her as a money maker machine, but also for turning her awe-inspiring nature into a garbage dump. As Krakauer reaches the Everest Base Camp in the novel, he states on the view of the mountain that, “Everest had been turned into a garbage dump by the ever-increasing hordes, and commercial expeditions”(77). He describes the scenery of how “huge stinking piles of human feces lay everywhere; [...] [turning] the purists sniffed Everest, [into] debased and profaned”(66). His statement toward the mountain proves that Mount Everest is not the clean and prestigious attractive rock that are shown in the advertisement and posters anymore. Using the word…

    Mt Everest Simulation

    It appears that for the Mt. Everest simulation it became hard to predict the utility of the vast amount of information for several of the team members. Although most of us usually have no problem ranking the importance of decisions, when asked to do so, our brains don't automatically do this. When we are selectively attending to one activity, we tend to ignore other stimulation, while our attention can be distracted by something else. One of the ways that some of us dealt with the overload was by omission. The thought is simple: since we could not take all the available information, our brains may have decided to just ignore some.…
