Abstract
The paper discusses Walt Disney and his early entrepreneurship and the creativity and imagination that he encouraged. The paper comments on the vacation packages that Disney offers to its various resorts and theme parks which are fully customizable and have helped to develop the "Dream Vacation" theme. The paper discusses the wonderful world of Disney's marketing and the effects that it has on mankind.
From the Paper
"While Disney's marketing is extensive to vacationing families around the world through radio, television, and the internet, the "Four P's" of the company are also on a broad spectrum. The prices for the Disney vacations are so varied that almost anyone can customize an escape to meet their specific needs. Prices vary by hotel packages, the time of the year, meal options, and the number of days to stay. The more days that are purchased in a vacation plan, the less the per-day price becomes. The place of the "Four P's" for Disney World is Florida, while Disney Land is in California. Disney also has other vacation resorts in Japan and France. Of course, Disney promotes its vacations through the various media channels owned, but the primary promotions are through travel agencies and the internet. The product is simply a vacation to Disney's resorts and/or theme parks by customized and individually specified plans. From a one day park pass to a complete all inclusive extended stay, the vacation options offered by Disney are advertised as a "Dream Vacation" that can fit the vision for a family's available budget."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"For many generations American families planned and carried out annual vacation traditions. During the cold winter seasons families would sit around and reminisce about the treks in August to Uncle Bob's log cabin by the lake. They would fondly remember the annual three-legged race each year at the Jersey shore, or they would remember to mark their calendar for the annual family reunion in July that lasted at least a week and usually two. Yes, those were the good old days, but where did they go? Today, American workers seem to take less vacation time than ever before as they devote their daily existence to their jobs or at the office. In contrast many European nations have held steady to their valued vacations and it is still not uncommon to see them take a month long holiday each summer to frolic with family members."

"Irish Dude Ranch Vacations".
This paper is a business plan for "Irish Dude Ranch Vacations," which introduces would-be riders to horses and to Ireland.
2,745 words (approx. 11.0 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 82.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Irish Dude Ranch Vacations intends to unite the traditions of Western riding in the United States with the centuries-old expertise in equestrian sports of the Republic of Ireland to create a unique 'adventure vacation' for Americans, then for Canadians, then Australians, and then the rest of the globe. The initial marketing efforts to European nationals will be much more modest. The author points out that the Irish component will be arranged by contract, and all Irish personnel will be Irish nationals managed by the Irish Riding Centre, which is the first of several intended locations for the vacation packages. The paper states that very little investment is required on either side of the Atlantic, and yet it can tap into a very large and arguably underserved market because, in particular, Western riding, as opposed to European-style riding, is an active sport that can be enjoyed by almost anyone, regardless of physical condition.

From the Paper
"The vision of Irish Dude Ranch Vacations is to make a memorable, exciting, but safe active vacation experience possible for large segments of the population currently underserved in that area; those with less than optimal physical conditions and those who are quite young and quite old. The mission of the company is to introduce would-be riders of all sorts to horses and to Ireland, both of which are extremely spiritual and completely humanizing. The intention of this company is to make a good living for all concerned-including the horses in terms of excellent upkeep and training, and no overuse-and to do it by maintaining reasonable prices that make it affordable for great segments of the global population who might otherwise not get a chance to ride a horse or see an exotic and beautiful country."

All-Inclusive Vacations as a Sociological Phenomenon, 2008.
An analysis of the sociological phenomena that are evident with all-inclusive vacations.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at the all-inclusive vacation as something other than tourism, or travel as it was once known. It shows how these vacations can tell a good deal about what the buyer expects in a culture of consumerism and what capitalists have learned the consumer wants. The paper makes use of critical theory in order to analyze the sociological phenomena that are evident with all-inclusive vacations. The paper maintains that there are things quite wrong with this phenomenon that are explained with the help of critical theory.

Concluding Remarks
From the Paper
"As mentioned, an all-inclusive vacation should protect the consumer from anything to upset previous notions of a place or what a vacation should be about. The all-inclusive vacation keeps consumers within one kind of consciousness that is the one known at home. There is little to promote interest in the place or places to which they travel. The vacationer is a transplanted person able to afford the location and activities that are laid on. Perhaps there will be a comment on what was served for sinner, a sun burn, or a comment on whether or not it is 'safe' to venture away from a resort of other institution in which the all-inclusive package has placed them."

Thoreau's Natural Vacations, 2003.
Argues that even Henry David Thoreau, the great advocate of man's "natural" state, was able to stray only so far from the comforts of modern life.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the writings of Henry David Thoreau, such as "Civil Disobedience", "Walden", "Walking", and "Ktaadn". It compares his writings with his biographical history to raise the question of whether Thoreau actually "practiced what he preached". The paper concludes that, while Thoreau's philosophical thoughts are interesting, the evidence in his essays does not permit Thoreau to be seen as an example of man?s ability to live in harmony with the natural world, but only as an example of the modern, fair-weather camper. While his writing is deeply meaningful on a philosophical level, on a practical one, it only reveals the struggle between the love of simplicity and the want of luxury.
From the Paper
"Henry David Thoreau, regarded by many as the father of environmentalism, was indeed influential in championing the great interest in nature that led to later movements toward environmental protection. He was the first to notice that the country?s trend toward an industrialist economy was having a damaging effect on the environment and to call his fellow citizens ?back to nature? through his essays, the most influential being ?Walden,? documenting his experiences living in a small cabin on secluded Walden Pond. Through lists of items bought and sold, and accounts of the labor that went in to creating his refuge, Thoreau attempts to prove to readers that it is not difficult to live as a part of nature, instead of struggling against it, and that a man actually needs much less than one might think to survive. However, it is evident in Thoreau?s work that while he undoubtedly believed all that he wrote, and was filled with a desire to go back to living in nature as his ancestors did, he was able to stray only so far from the comforts of the industrialist age. His life and works present a conflict of beliefs and practices, of his yearning for a simpler life and his inability to follow it to its end. In Thoreau there can be found a depiction of the struggle that continues today, namely the conflict between the desire for living purely and simply and the desire for modern comforts. Thoreau was not a man of nature, as his essays urge one to conclude, but a nature connoisseur, returning to it only as a brief respite from the bustle of everyday life."

Family Dynamics, 2008.

Abstract
The paper addresses the family dynamics of the Griswold family in National Lampoon's classic parody of Christmas films, "Christmas Vacation," using Dorthea Orem's model of universal self-care. The paper provides an experiment into the functionality of a fictional family through exploring the characters of Clark Griswold (husband and father), Ellen Griswold (wife and mother), Audrey Griswold (teenage daughter), Rusty Griswold (son in early adolescence) and Eddie Johnson (cousin-in-law).
Outline:
Introduction
Cultural Assessment of Family Structure
Universal Self-Care Requisites
Developmental Self-Care Requisites
Nursing Systems Used to Meet These Issues
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The Griswold family is a traditional nuclear family consisting of father, mother, and two siblings (male and female). Typically, all interaction within this family is expressed between the four primary members. In the film, circumstances are altered so that the immediate family is changed and multiple members of the extended family are brought into stay within the same household. This affects the dynamics of the immediate family and impedes normal behavior. According to Orem's theories, it is now no longer possible for the Griswold family to engage in their conventional stable roles within this setting. However, the actions of the immediate Griswold family indicate that their roles are highly defined and that they are attempting to conform to them. This is especially evident in the actions of Clark and Ellen."

"A Good Man is Hard to Find" by Flannery O?Connor, 2002.
An analysis of the short story about an American family?s journey for a vacation that meets a violent end.

Abstract
In this essay the author discusses the beliefs of the major character in the story, the Grandmother and analyzes how her beliefs affect the direction and outcome of the story. In doing so, the character and beliefs of the other major character in the story, the "Misfit", is also analyzed. The paper shows how the story has an underlying religious theme juxtaposed with the issue of changing values in the modern society.
From the Paper
"The character of the Grandmother is a complex mixture of the overtly religious as well as someone who holds the older ?Southern? values dear to her heart. However, she is anything but a noble soul and neither is her character particularly endearing as is reflected in the attitude of the family members towards her."

"BELGIUM AS A MULTINATIONAL STATE: A CASE STUDY
Introduction
This research develops a case study of Belgium as a multinational state. The focus of this case study is on the process of political accommodation within a multinational state.
The term ?state,? as it is used in this case study, refers to the jurisdiction within the country that has international recognition as a politically independent entity. The term ?nation,? as it is used in this case study, refers to the population groups within the state which are recognized as distinct cultural identities. Cultural identity, in turn, may be defined on the bases of ethnicity, race, language, religion, or other traits relevant within the context of a particular state."

"Tourism: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
Yesterday's Grand Visions
Tourism, the act of paying money to go from one place to another to see different and unique sights, has been a fact of civilized life since approximately the 12th century. Of course, back in those days it was basically the upper, upper classes that had the time, the money, and the interest in travelling from one spot to another. The word "travel" by the way comes from the medieval English word "travail" which means suffering great hardship, and that is a very good description of travel in its earliest days. Much has been written about the journeys of Marco Polo, who until recently was considered the world's first tourist.

Abstract
This work explores the provisions in relation to time scheduling in education that is directly focused toward students with disabilities. This study asks the question of whether or not year-round schools (YRS) commonly referred to as extended school-year (ESY) or Year-round education (YRE) benefits specifically the student with disabilities in learning and if the students' retention is enhanced through shorter breaks at closer intervals as compared to longer breaks such as summer vacation. Research has been performed both through a case study and through a review of all relevant, available literature. Findings in the study include those that demonstrate that the student's learning as well as retention is enhanced through year-round education provisions avoiding the one-month period of time at the beginning of each new school year that is spent in review of the material learned before summer vacation.

"A teacher that prepares to teach special education students, an area in which there is a critical shortage of teachers, must complete a master's degree. Special education teachers work with children and youth with various disabling conditions most of which are mild to moderate disabilities. The teacher must be able to use the general education curriculum and through modification of it meet the individual needs of the child. The various disabilities that qualify students for special education programs are those which include specific learning disabilities, speech or language impairments, mental retardation, emotional disturbance, multiple disabilities, hearing impairments, orthopedic impairments, visual impairments, autism, deaf-blindness, traumatic brain injury, and other health impairments.
Students are classified under one of the categories, and special education teachers are prepared to work with specific groups. It is a vitally important aspect of the special education teacher's job to make identification of a child with special needs since early intervention is essential in educating children with disabilities. Various techniques are employed by Special education teachers to promote learning. Depending on the disability, teaching methods can include individualized instruction, problem-solving assignments, and small group work. Teachers must see to it that when students need special accommodations for test-taking, the appropriate ones are provided which may include such actions as reading the questions aloud of allowing extra time to take the test. Special education teachers help to develop an Individualized Education Program (IEP) for each special education student. Personalized goals are set in the IEPs and are individually tailored to a student's learning style and ability. Inclusive is a transition plan, which outlines specific steps in preparation of the special educational students for middle school or high school, or in the case of older students, a job or postsecondary study."

From the Paper
"In the UK, 1.25 million time ownerships are secured by residents, with this number increasing by more than 10% a year. More UK residents have timesharing holidays than travel on skiing trips or take cruises. (HIGV, 2005) According to World Tourism Organization, there are 5,791 timeshare resorts and just over 1,700 are located in North America. Europe hosts 25 percent, with Spain offering over 500 timeshare resorts. Latin America includes another 16 percent of the global total, led by Mexico with approximately 40 percent of the resorts in the regions. Upcoming Asia offers 14 percent. All in all, these resorts provide about 325,000 accommodation units worldwide. More than 40% are in the United States, where timeshare resorts tend to be largest; averaging more than 80 units each."

Abstract
This paper details the lives of a few characters living in Northfield, Vermont during the Cold War between the United States and Russia. It details the four teenage members of the band of angels and their character. It describes their lives and how they deal with death, love, life at that time and their summer vacation. The main theme of this novel is the importance of living the day and building strong friendships.
From the Paper
"Julian Thompson?s novel A Band of Angels vividly and accurately describes the sentiments and concerns nuclear holocaust affected our nation during the last decade of the Cold War, a forty-six-year conflict between two enemies who engaged in a political and military one-upmanship without losing the world in the process. But the Cold War ? like any other war ? had its heroes and victims. This is a character-driven novel that displays the individuals who will save the planet, and those who would destroy it over an outdated ideology that is fueled by fear and paranoia, all in the town and surrounding countryside of Northfield, VT."
