This essay discusses, through the Cohodas and Medina readings, how the concept of "emergent authenticity" affects the tourist industry. First, the concept of "authenticity" is negated through the intrinsic inclusion of "other" cultures, so what we think is authentic might not be, depending on the viewpoint and context.

Abstract This essay discusses, through the Cohodas and Medina readings, how the concept of "emergent authenticity" affects the tourist industry. First, the concept of "authenticity" is negated through the intrinsic inclusion of "other" cultures, so what we think is authentic might not be, depending on the viewpoint and context. Richard Wilk's modernization paradigm discourages the dichotomization of culture, between "old" (primitive) and "new" (western, industrialized). Both readings stress this polarity but strive to use tourism to enrich what we perceive as authentic and to facilitate the trading and building

Abstract
This paper discusses ways that an unbeliever could be convinced of the authenticity of the Gospels, including evidence from history and archaeology and the testimony of witnesses. It also discusses "coming to faith in Christ".

From the Paper
"Unbelievers often contest the authenticity of the Gospels based on hearsay from those who contend that the Bible is inaccurate. Thus, it is necessary to provide substantiating evidence to prove their accuracy and to refute conflicting evidence that might prevent unbelievers from coming to faith in Christ. There are three primary avenues of proof that can be helpful in this endeavor-the witness of believable people, the historical record and scientific and archaeological evidence that supports the truth of the Gospel. The witness of believable people starts with..."

Abstract
This paper studies different culture and their absorption into North American culture. It studies cultural justice,by taking a close look at the identity of different cultures. It details where the culture finds its value, what the traditions that make it rich are, and what values are held in the highest value. It defines the term authenticity and studies its meaning with context to North America. It discusses different cultures such as: African-Americans, North Americans, Chines, Italian and more.

From the Paper
"Cultural identity, that which defines an individual's heritage, belief system and values within the larger framework of society, is distinguished by tradition, ritual, language and history. In studying cultural justice, the responsibility to not only understand and embrace cultural differences, but also to discourage and dissuade cultural prejudices, particularly negative ones, one must take a close look at a culture's identity. Where does the culture find its value? What are the traditions that make it rich? What values are held in the highest esteem? There is a tendency, particularly in a multi-cultural society such as ours, for individuals who identify with a particular culture, to shed their ethnic or cultural values and to embrace those typical of the North American lifestyle. Some say this is necessary in order to create a viable North American culture. Others would argue that the richness of various cultural identities is what makes our culture so attractive."

Abstract
This paper explains that authentic leadership, which embraces self-knowledge that does not mind facing personal shortcomings or needed change, is critically lacking, but very needed, in today's global environment. The author points out that leadership development can impart particular skills and provide experiences to learn these skills such as communication, more efficient management and organization, staff relationships and achieving their vision. The paper relates that the primary learning experiences for authenticity in leadership appear to be through experiential learning; therefore, funding of programs that bring together the many different cultures of the world in combination with the many different perspectives and views is very important.

From the Paper
"The evolution of leadership as well as that of the business organization itself has seen many popular methods and procedures in team leading come and go, however there are primary methods of leadership that always come back around to popular use due to their effectiveness. Just as the corporate and business environment has shifted through many phases with methods and procedural evolution there has also been evolution in leadership methods and styles. From the earlier days of the very amoral leaders there have been many corrupt dealings for Enron did most certainly not write the book on this type of business dishonesty."

Abstract
This paper explores the issue of authentic music, stating that many people believe rock music to be more real or authentic than pop music. The paper explains that pop music is more synthetic and without the help of computers, would not sound like it does while rock music is the pure raw authentic talent of the musician. The paper focuses on the music of Eric Clapton to explain its theories.

From the Paper
"Authenticity is a major issue in discourses on popular music, and seems to be the bedrock of the distinction between "pop" and "rock", i.e., whether musicians can be trusted ("rock") or not ("pop"), which comes down to the distinction of whether musicians are "authentic" or "commercial" (Moore, 2002). In these discourses, authenticity is assumed to mean "true to its origins"."

Abstract
This paper is a philosophy discourse on the notions of authentic and inauthentic selves. Largely a question of the existentialist philosophy, the writer takes ideas from well known thinkers, Jean-Paul Sartre, Victor Frankl, and Fredriche Nietzsche. Opening with a brief interpretation of existentialist philosophy, and then continuing on to provide the foundations for authentic and inauthentic notions of being, the paper moves through the arguments provided by philosophers on free-will, choice, and liberty.

Outline:
Introduction
The Authentic Self
The Inauthentic Self
Authenticity, Inauthenticity, and the Concept of Freedom
Conclusion

From the Paper
"As stated by Sartre, the term authenticity points to having a lucid type of consciousness that gives identity to every situation in life. It is taking in--not just the freedom and liberty--but also the responsibilities and risks associated with this state, including betrayal, hardships, distress and humiliation. It is growing over the years and using all events and experiences in order to nurture in knowledge and expertise, especially when it relates to the process of accumulating the desired end result. In forming the authentic self, there is a need to be honest with oneself, and to be driven by the will and power that dictates what a person should do for the fulfillment of his or her dreams and visions."

Abstract
This paper historically covers the period of time between 1960, which marked the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement sit-ins in North Carolina, and 1973, which was the year that America's involvement in Vietnam ended. During this span of time, both the Civil Rights Movement and the Women's Liberation Movement were highly active and the nation became heavily involved with the Vietnam War in Southeast Asia. In addition, the largest youth movement in history swept across the nation as students on college campuses all over America organized, rebelled, and eventually brought about a staggering amount of political, social and cultural change. This paper describes the forming of the Sixties Movement and it's actions as well as impact on society.

From the Paper
"The Age of Industrialization that accompanied America's entrance into the twentieth century brought with it the promise of unprecedented national prosperity and progress. The ten years proceeding the turn of the century had marked a decade of industrialized change that had greatly improved the quality of American life and had ended the long and stifling sociocultural period known as the Victorian Era (Garrett 288). Those involved in the developing fields of social and economic sciences noted the changing demographics brought on by the Industrial Age and began to chart patterns of predictions for a rapidly urbanizing America. They foresaw a series of successive social, economical and political changes for an American culture poised on the edge of progressive and eager for evolution and change. These formulas for the future proved effective in aiding cultural and economic adaptability for only the first few decades of the twentieth century, however. Neither the science nor the society of the developing American culture of the early 1900s could have conceived the concept of accelerated speed and veering versatility that these changes would begin to adopt around the middle of the century. Even the most highly advanced and sophisticated technology of today could ever have predicted the transformational turmoil and cultural chaos that was to be the decade of the 1960s."

Abstract
The American movie 'The Last Samurai' deals with the legend of the Samurai, from the perspective of an American director, Edward Zwick, born in Illinois, USA. The writer maintains that that this movie comprises a distortion of the samurai legend. On the other hand, the writer discusses that while the movie takes great liberties with factual historical details, it does capture some of the spirit of the myth of the Samurai. In this respect, it does succeed in passing along to Western viewers some concept of the myth of the samurai. Thus, the film may be seen as successful in one way, less successful in another way.




The film stars Tom Cruise, who is very much an archetypal American cowboy. For much of the movie, if Cruise had put on a cowboy hat, viewers might have thought they were watching a Western, and expected the Calvary to come over the hill at any minute. All in all, given the concentrated American content, it is hardly surprising to find that this movie comprises a distortion of the samurai legend.

Abstract
This paper presents a view of the position of the African Americans in society. It also discusses the ways in which Americans of all races understand their own identity.

The paper expands that this will require not only policy changes but the willingness of individuals of all races to make their race a less central element of their sense of self.

Abstract
This paper addresses the ways in which race, as a structuring mechanism in society, divides and unites Americans and creates one kind of American community and not others.

From the Paper
"Anyone who has ever thought in any depth manner about the ways in which American society is structured has to have considered the ways in which race is one of the most important structuring mechanisms of our society. This paper addresses the ways in which race divides and unites us as Americans, in which it has created one kind of American community and not others. One of the most trenchant thinkers about race in American today is Glenn Loury who argues that the continuing divide among American racial groups..."
