Abstract
The paper discusses how in many of his short stories, Anton Chekhov presents characters that seem to be destined to fail in their lives. These characters have little control over their lives and Chekhov plunges them into situations from which they cannot escape. The paper relates that Chekhov often demonstrates the hopelessness of life with his female characters. The paper analyzes "The Lady with the little Dog," "The Darling," "A Blunder" and "The Cook's Wedding." The paper portrays how in all these stories, Chekhov realistically presents characters who are destined to misery and failure.
From the Paper
""A Blunder" and "The Cook's Wedding" are very short pieces written near the beginning of Chekhov's career as a writer in the 1880s. "A Blunder" includes characters who control their own destiny, yet, they make an error that will have a long term effect on their happiness. The parents are anxious for their daughter, Natashenka, to marry Shchupkin, the school master. In their haste to bless the wedding, the mother grabs a portrait of a writer from the wall instead of the necessary icon. When the parents realize their error, they and their daughter are left in confusion and disappointment while the fortunate Shchuplin slips quietly out the door."

International Justice: Not Necessarily Destined for Absurdity, 2002.
Why international jurisprudence should avoid claims of universality, and focus on arbitration and crimes against humanity in small or defeated nations.

Abstract
This paper discusses the role that international jurisprudence plays in conflicts between nations, and how the role of the international courts is being abused by nations, who want to use the reaps of war, rather than negotiations, to settle their disputes.
From the paper:
"The ICJ reveals itself as impotent even when adjudicating against weaker nations, as illustrated by its farcical order that Iran free its American hostages taken after the Embassy was stormed (Meyer 127). Whether with great powers or less powers, international jurisprudence is helpless to resolve conflicts in which one party merely desires to exploit its power.
Where both parties are mutually interested in an arbitrated solution to a dispute, however, international jurisprudence is useful."

"In order to increase destination promotion within these two locations, a shift must be made within their marketing practices and the particular branding they pursue. The growth in information sharing and global wealth means that there are more tourists but also more competing destinations. In order for these two destinations to regain their market share and increase their tourism industries they must pursue a strategy of rebranding via the internet, leveraging political and NGO institutions, and increasing the scope of the international practices."

Japan as a Tourist Destination, 2005.

»

Abstract
This essay discusses Japan, in terms of culture, as well as attractions. It explores possible reasons for tourists being reluctant to visit Japan. The paper then offers unique ideas on how Japan could market tourism to other areas of the world, in order to encourage tourists to visit.
From the Paper
"Despite Japan's facade of modernity, from its city skylines and "Bullet Trains" to its millions of people who seem to have high-tech cell phones glued to their ears, traditional Japan still exists in a huge network of inns and restaurants, and in arts, crafts and customs that have not changed in over a thousand years. The deceptive thing about Tokyo is that it seems surprisingly Western on the surface with Western looking buildings, McDonald's franchises and kids listening to rap music. It seems like you might as well be in Los Angeles. Yet you don't need to dig very deep to discover the Japanese soul beneath the Western facade. One of the most appealing aspects of travelling in Japan is the richness of culture that can be encountered. Advertisement should grasp that despite Japan's apparent Western aspirations, it is uniquely Japanese. "

From the Paper
"During the last four decades tourism has become one of the world?s largest and fastest growing industries. As an industry, tourism in 1996 directly and indirectly generated and supported 204 million jobs world-wide, equivalent to more than 10% of the world?s workforce - a figure which is forecast to rise to over 11% during the first years of the new millennium. Tourism is in other words of great economic importance and new ?tourism areas? are constantly being developed, implying that consumers have even more destinations available to choose from when going on vacation. Moreover, people are travelling increasingly, among other things due to more flexible working hours and rising levels of disposable income. Furthermore, transportation networks have become more efficient which makes it possible to travel to any destination in the world within relatively few hours. The growing importance of tourism implies that national tourism boards around the world face intensive competition in the battle of attracting tourists. Hence, tourism marketers are faced with the challenge of developing new and different marketing strategies that will differentiate a destination from its competitors."

Abstract
This essay presents a detailed comparison of two books and the spiritual journeys of the protagonists. The author draws a distinction of the spiritual journey that the protagonists take and compares Roger Kamenetz?s "The Jew In The Lotus", and "The Ceremony" by Leslie Silko.
From the Paper
"When we are traveling, we have several choices in how we will arrive at our final destination. We can take an airplane or a train; we can drive a vehicle or hop on a bus. In addition to deciding how we will travel we also have to choose the roads that we will take to get there. Even if two people are looking for the exact same location there are many decisions to be made in how the journey is done. The same can be said for spiritual exploration and searching. Each person has to decide what ?vehicle? (faith) that they will use for the trip and then determine what ?roads? (teachings) will guide them to the final location (spiritual awakening). This process is detailed in two books that were written from completely different standpoints of faith. The Jew in the Lotus by Rodger Kamenetz, and The Ceremony by Leslie Silko, are both examples of the same destination being discovered through entirely different vehicles and paths."

Canadian Peacekeeping, 2008.

Abstract
This paper critically examines the deployments of Canadian forces to Somalia in East Africa, to Rwanda in Central Africa and to the former Yugoslavia in the Balkans. It examines these deployments in the context of changes in Canadian policy and models of foreign policy action in the 1990s. The paper argues that while the humanitarian impulse underlying Canadian peacekeeping missions was admirable, in reality the policies justifying its expansion were flawed and the missions destined for operational failure given the inability of the Canadian government to match its rhetoric with financial support and close oversight.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
The Promise of Peacekeeping - The Early 1990s
The Somalia Affair
Somalia as a U.N. Peacekeeping Crisis
Soft Power - Rwanda and the Former Yugoslavia
Conclusion
From the Paper
"It may be argued that this lack of interest in the details and the ground level problems of peacekeeping in the 1990s by the Canadian government - a lack of interest that was juxtaposed with the grandiose rhetoric justifying the government's repeated deployments of over-stretched Canadian forces overseas - explains much of the failures of Canadian peacekeeping during this period. As has been seen, the operational collapse of the Somalia mission was to be mirrored in the inadequacies of the UN peacekeeping response to the Rwandan genocide, and the humiliation and casualties of the Canadian peacekeeping deployment in the former Yugoslavia. In all of these cases, the disconnect between the reality on the ground and the rhetoric of the Canadian foreign policy elite was striking. Given these notable failures, it may be concluded that only when the rhetoric connects with the reality can Canadian military interventions abroad - whether peacekeeping, peacemaking or nation-building - be justified and conducted with any hope of success."

Abstract
This paper argues that centrally planned economies are destined to fail. It looks at the distinction between free market economy and centrally planned economy. The paper examines market forces vs bureaucratic coordination and uses example of the Soviet era.
From the Paper
"In the last few decades planned economies around the world have succumbed to the challenge of the free market. Before analyzing why this has happened we must understand the economic distinction between a free market economy and a planned economy. The free market on the one hand sings the siren song of self-regulation. If you allow companies to ..."

The Key To Success in Life, 2008.

Abstract
The writer relates how he was diagnosed with a learning disability in high school and only through determination and great efforts could he stay at the pace of his colleagues. The writer tells of his struggle to enter the lacrosse team at university and describes how his determination overcame the difficulties encountered. The writer learns from the saying "Some succeed because they are destined to, most succeed because they are determined to" that he could achieve his goals if he believed in his powers and fought assiduously enough, no matter the obstacles.
From the Paper
"A long time ago, when I was merely a child, I came across a saying, which had a great impact on my then easily impressionable mind: "Some succeed because they are destined to, most succeed because they are determined to." Later on, I discovered that the saying was actually a quote from the French author, Anatole France. At that point in my life, I had not the necessary experience to realize the very essence of the quote. Nevertheless, it was engraved deep within my mind since that frail age. Little did I know then that this quote was to symbolize the story of my life, marked by bold and severe struggle to achieve my goals and proudly rise above the crowd."

Virgil?s ?The Aeneid?, 2004.
This paper discusses Virgil?s ?The Aeneid?, the story of Aeneas, a great Trojan War hero who is destined to become Rome's founder.
950 words (approx. 3.8 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 33.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Virgil wrote ?The Aeneid? in response to pressure from Augustus Caesar to write about the glory of the great Roman Empire. The author points out that Aeneas's visit to the underworld is crucial to understanding the importance of fate within the ?Aeneid?. The paper contends that Aeneas's visit to the underworld helps to reinforce the theme of fate within the story itself and helps to reassert the work's underlying theme that the great Roman Empire was fated to exist.
From the Paper
"Virgil's "Aeneid", despite all its amazing complexities of plot and character, has a relatively simple message about the fate of individuals and history itself. Ultimately, Virgil reveals that fate is a great driving force that ultimately results in the formation of the great Roman Empire. Fate is a religious, unalterable force that determines the course of all human life and human history. Fate is a powerful and ongoing theme in The Aeneid, and Aeneas' journey to the underworld is absolutely crucial in helping to further define this theme. Aeneas' journeys are preordained, and even his great sufferings and wanderings at sea only serve to delay this fate. Even the interference of lesser Gods can do little to change the fate of Aeneas the individual, or the fate of history itself."

Abstract
In this research paper, the writer examines the nature of the relationship between the Australian destination or management organization (DMO) and key stakeholders: city government and local hotels in Australia. The writer first notes that as the phenomenon of tourism has grown, so have the interests of destinations in attracting their share of visitors. At present, nearly every Australian city has an organization charged with the purpose of destination promotion. The writer then discusses that DMOs exist to promote and manage tourism within their destination in a way that enhances the positive effects of tourism in the long-run. Next, the write examines the nature of the relationship between the DMO and key stakeholders and looks at how DMO senior managers differentiate stakeholders and accord them varying levels of salience. In addition, the writer discusses what organizational postures or strategies DMO senior managers employ in interacting with stakeholders.

From the Paper
"Partnership and support relate to the DMOs' need for hotels to participate in collaborative efforts to promote the destination through activities such as familiarization tours where complimentary hotel rooms and meals are provided by hotels to key influencers (or channellers) of travel such as travel writers, agents, tour wholesalers, and meeting planners. Other needs included help with funding (through hotel tax), synchronizing hotel plans with DMO plans, advice on business opportunities, and thinking beyond their hotel to the destination.
"Hotels are dependent on DMOs for communication and the need for regular information. However, there is a clear expectation that the DMO will provide business to fill hotel rooms. Related to this expectation is a reliance on the DMO to have an understanding and special knowledge of the broader tourism context and trends (macro-level intelligence) as well as understanding the local needs of hotels and specifically the demand patterns (micro-level intelligence) so that the DMO can direct its promotional resources to address periods of low demand in the destination."

"Romeo and Juliet", 1993.
A review of William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" with a look at the tragedy destined to occur, dictated by the stars and the environment.

From the Paper
"William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is classified as a tragedy, and by definition a tragedy involves the working of fate in the lives of the protagonists. The inevitable downfall of the hero derives as a rule from some character flaw over which the individual has no control. For Romeo and Juliet, the "flaw" is their love for one another, a love which is not allowed given the antagonisms that exist between their families. At a number of points in the story, a change in one or two elements could have produced a different outcome. Shakespeare presents the matter as inevitable, however, because the characters could not possibly make those changes. They are living out their destinies, and the choices they make derive from their characters and the situations in which they find themselves. More than this, their choices have been limited for them by their parents and their parents'..."

The Declining Influence of the Communists in France, 2001.
A discussion on why the Communist vote and influence of the Communist Party in France has declined and whether this decline destined to continue.

Abstract
This paper begins by looking at how the French Communist Party enjoyed such great power and influence in the years following World War II. It then examines why this strength has waned in the past 50 years including the constitutional changes of 1958, the failure of the Communist-Socialist alliance, the decreasing relevance of Communist policies, the increase in working class affluence and the fall of Communist regimes elsewhere.
From the Paper
"The PCF enjoyed its greatest levels of popularity between 1946-1958. During this time, the Communists were helped greatly by a number of features of French politics and society. For instance, French democracy was far from solid following the revival of numerous undemocratic ideas during the Vichy regime, and indeed, Communism was not perceived as quite so radical a Left Wing force immediately following the Second World War. Therefore, it was possible for the PCF to destabilise the fragile, unstable coalition governments that existed until 1958. In addition, a Left Wing split existed in France at this time, which ensured that the Communists had no significant Left Wing opposition to contend with, and similarly, the PCF?s foreign policies tended to be very similar to those of the powerful Gaullist Party of the 1950s and 60s, which would again allow them to appear less radical a party."
