Abstract
This paper examines the history of the tourism industry, focusing on the revamping and revival of the so called 'package tour'. According to this paper, the package tour concept is that of an all-inclusive vacation in one.
From the Paper
"The tourism industry in the early 21st century operates within a complex globalized marketplace in which it is subject to rapidly changing social, cultural and economic factors. Perhaps nowhere is this more apparent than in the package tour model which exerted significant dominance over the industry until the fragmentation of the market and the privileging of consumer choice and independence at each level of the tourism experience. However, given the influence of major corporate players it is perhaps not surprising that the recent innovation of dynamic packaging has led to a revival of the "package tour" concept in a carefully revised form."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"After the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed the decision of the District Court of Oregon the petitioner, PGA Tour, Inc., filed for certiorari, because the day after the Ninth Circuit Court Of Appeals decision the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled opposite on a similar case, Olinger v. United States Golf Assn. (2000)(Davis, 2002). The United States Supreme Court accepted the case, because of the conflicting decision between the two Circuit Courts. Again the case brought forth to the Supreme Court would be if Title III of the ADA (1990) would apply to the petitioner and if allowing the plaintiff to use a golf cart would ?fundamentally alter the nature? of the game."

Abstract
The paper gives a summary of the advantages and disadvantages of taking part in the Grand Tour in the eighteenth century - a tour around Europe that the aristocracy embarked upon during this period.The main points include advantages such as health, cultural knowledge leading to modernisation throughout Britain and general pleasure including activities such as sex and gambling. Disadvantages include cost, crime and loss of health.
From the Paper
"Young tourists found that tourism opened more opportunity for sexual adventure, seen in Britain as a less acceptable pastime due to the high standards of morality in Britain (as Douglas Hay and Nicholas Rogers describe ?improvident, dissolute? sexual relations were seen to be a big problem and in need of reformation and sex was also illegal before marriage) as well as the problems that could arise - not only venereal disease. Many tourists went abroad to attend brothels and due to the generosity of foreign prostitutes because of the restrictions in Britain. Black also describes how what was seen as immoral in Britain was overlooked abroad so this would therefore be seen as a benefit of the Grand Tour by those who engaged in sex abroad."

Abstract
This essays examines, in a scholarly fashion, these three schools of historical interpretation, with reference to both Gregory?s "History of the Frank People", as well as several 20th century contributions critiquing that work. The first section of the essay examines Gregory?s intellectual influences regarding his histories and his role as Bishop of Tours; the second section examines postmodern interpretations of Gregory as a bishop and as a historian; the third section examines the social history of Gregory?s time and how it affected his work, "The History of the Franks".
From the Paper
"Several schools of historiography may be examined to determine the historical significance of Gregory?s work, The History of the Franks. Most of the historiography dealing with Gregory?s work has been recorded in the twentieth century. Historians such as Walter Goffart, Lewis Thorpe, Patrick J. Geary, Kevin Knight, Jean-Jacques Ampere, Emil H. Walter, and M. L. W. Laistner are all influenced by, and critical of Gregory?s Histories. These historians all discuss Gregory?s writings in accordance with various schools of historical interpretation including intellectual history, postmodern history, and from a socialist historical perspective."

Abstract
This paper discusses the Spring 1992 visit of Deng Xiaoping to southern China, otherwise known as Nanxun. To fully grasp the significance of Nanxun, the paper considers the state of economic reforms that took place prior to 1992, the political state of China in the years just prior to 1992 and the resulting developments following Nanxun. The paper outlines the events that led up to and followed Nanxun, making use of the many famous speeches that were given by Deng and other leaders. The paper contends that classes that teach 'Deng Xiaoping Theory' continue to use these speeches that provide ideological and cultural insight.

From the Paper
"In the last 25 years China has experienced explosive growth brought about by major sweeping economic reforms and opening up. Nonetheless, this reform process has been recognized by experts as a 'gradual' opening up. This gradual opening up has been characterized by many different stages of which most can be accredited to China's then helmsman Deng Xiaoping. In studying this 25 year period, there is one year that demarks a crucial link in China's continued economic reform and opening up since 1978. This link is the spring 1992 visit of Deng Xiaoping to southern China, otherwise known as Nanxun. During this tour, Deng delivered several important speeches that boldly called for further economic reform and dismissed leftist ideology and conservative thinking at that time that threatened continued reform. Despite many heated ideological debates at that time, Deng's arguments and ideas would later triumph and pave the way for China's further development and successes."

Abstract
"The relationship between the King and the Church in the Medieval Period varied somewhat according to the country involved. Differences can be perceived in the era of the Franks as depicted in the book by Gregory of Tours, The History of the Franks and in the world of Charlemagne as depicted by Einhard in his The Life of Charlemagne.
During the era described by Gregory of Tours, the church was in the process of establishing itself in Europe and was working on guiding the people and their leaders slowly away from the pagan ideologies that had prevailed to that time.

During the era described by Gregory of Tours, the church was in the process of establishing itself in Europe and was working on guiding the people and their leaders slowly away from the pagan ideologies that had prevailed to that time. Religion is a major theme in the book by Gregory, which is not surprising since he himself was a cleric and would become a bishop. He notes how the Christians were persecuted by the Vandals and others: "At this period the churches of God were assailed with..."

Monarch and Church, 2002.

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the treatment of the relationship between monarchy and the Church in the books "The Life of Charlemagne" by Einhard and Gregory, Bishop of Tours' "History of the Franks". The two writers describe an interdependent Church and monarchy in which the religious or spiritual intensity of a given ruler was often less significant in shaping Church-State relationships than other matters. The paper shows that both books demonstrate that Church and kings interacted for mutual advantage and because, in the wake of the dissolution of the Roman Empire and throughout the so-called "Dark Ages," the monarchy and the Church emerged as the only two normative institutions in a fragmented social system.
From the Paper
"Gregory (p. 33) has commented that among the early kings of the Franks, Childeric was "excessively wanton." Though a ruler, this early king was in no sense as religious as his son Clovis, who also experienced conflicts with the Church and despoiled many of the Church's sanctuaries until he became uninvolved in "heathen error" (Gregory, p. 37). Gregory (pp. 40-41) comments that Clovis was introduced to Christianity at the urging of his wife and helped to accept the Church through the agency of Saint Remi, Bishop of Rheims. From that time on, Gregory argues that Clovis became a more successful king and warrior and better able to care for the needs of his people. He built numerous churches and enjoyed the support of the Church, which was anxious to extend its own control and helped Clovis crush the heretics by its aid and extend his kingdom over all the Gauls (Gregory, p. 53)."

Abstract
The paper analyzes the painting "Saint Anne with the Christ Child" by the French artist, Georges de la Tour. The paper examines the painting's formal and contextual characteristics and analyzes it as an example of Baroque art, compared to other artists of the baroque style. The paper looks at how the painting relates to religious, political, cultural and social changes that took place at that time. Finally, the paper examines how this work speaks about the religious propaganda happening at the time.
From the Paper
"Georges de la Tour' Saint Anne with the Christ Child is an oil on canvas, believed to have been painted around 1639-1641. The painting represents a night scene, illuminated only by a single candle, of the Virgin's Mary's mother watching the baby Jesus. This painting is at the same time a very religious painting, but also an intimate painting showing a woman looking lovingly at a sleeping child. Her face and clothes are very detailed. It has a mystical as well as a natural feel at the same time. It is actually part of a larger painting, a nativity that included Mary on the side. The most striking characteristic of the painting is the master use of shadow and light and in particular the candlelight that is depicted in the painting. There is overall silence and stillness in the composition both gently broken by candlelight and baby's breathing."
