From the Paper
"A simple idea, a great deal of vision and drive, some luck and a lot of courage has brought Whale Watch Kaikoura to the point where it is now beginning to show a profit. In the course of its development, this enterprise has given more life to its host town than could ever have been expected. And as land-based services and other adventure tourism activities have grown, a number of other environmentally sustainable activities, many based on marine mammals, have developed off-shore."

From the Paper
"In 1973, the PBS series, An American Family, was broadcasted. Widely considered to be the first modern reality show, it dealt with the issue of divorce in today's nuclear family. A year later, the UK followed suit with a counterpart program, The Family, which portrayed a working class family in Reading; and in 1992, Australia broadcasted Sylvania Waters, which depicted a nouveau-riche family living in Sydney. All three programs were considered to be controversial (Wikipedia, Online Article, 2007), but all were also recognized as having that certain something that appealed, and that entertained, the general public. Over the next decade a wide variety of reality shows were broadcasted, with their counterpart productions being produced throughout the world, as world-wide television companies rushed to join a financially lucrative band-wagon.

From paper:
?Reminiscing about the ocean always creates the sense of vast expanse, strength and beauty; hence, it is no wonder that the whale, the greatest living creature on earth, living in the ocean, is perceived as an important animal. Due to the majestic beauty of whales, they have become icons through folklore and stories in many cultures. As whales are not subjected to national borders, they migrate freely across and through the waters of national jurisdiction; hence, different people have different views about the whales.?

Abstract
This paper examines recent scientific discoveries about the origins of dolphins and whales. The paper begins by giving a brief description of these animals, followed by an analysis of their behavior. Special attention is given to their interaction in social groups. Finding from field studies about whales are presented according to various species of whales. A brief description of the origins of dolphins is also given. The paper concludes with a thorough discussion of prehistoric whales based on fossil findings, with an emphasis on whale evolution through the various epochs.
From the Paper
"But, how did Whales and Dolphins evolve? In Nicholas Humphrey's essay "The social function of intellect," (Humphrey, 1976) said: "The open sea is an environment where technical knowledge can bring little benefit and thus complex societies - and high intelligence - are contraindicated (dolphins and whales provide, maybe, a remarkable and unexplained exception)" in 1976 and this began the Machiavellian intelligence" hypothesis," which says that more intelligent animals evolved into social or grouping and cooperating animals. This is now widely accepted, though it has received little attention in the controversies that may concern the evolution of whales except from a few cetologists."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that one of the most attractive, yet mad aspects of the character of Ahab in Herman Melville's Moby Dick is the way that Ahab seems to attribute morality and intelligent design to the natural world, as embodied in the persona of the white whale Moby Dick. The writer explains that Ahab lost his leg to Moby Dick long ago, and he is determined the whale will pay for this transgression. Ahab is so bent upon his quest in avenging himself against nature that even when he admits that the whale may not have intended to take his leg it does not matter. The writer notes that Ahab says human beings must act as though life has meaning, even though life may be arbitrary and meaningless.
From the Paper
"In other words, there may be a moral intelligence behind animals like the whale, in Ahab's view, and God or some intelligent force is acting behind the manipulation of the objects or pasteboard creations. After all, God gave the whale many human-like characteristics, like the need to be warm and the need to breathe above water, even though God also gave the whale the ability to do these things naturally, without recourse to culture like blankets and breathing apparatus. And Ahab believes that because Moby Dick deprived him of his leg, he must act as if there is moral, intelligent design and reason to the universe, and take vengeance upon either the whale itself or upon the forces or being that gave the whale the power to act against his leg."

From the Paper
"Humpbacks appear in all the oceanic areas between the arctic and the Antarctic. During the summer, Humpbacks migrate to the Polar Regions of the arctic. Later when winter arrives, the Humpback will migrate back to the tropical or subtropical breeding grounds. A known place for breeding is Maalea Bay; just off the Hawaiian island Maui. Throughout the duration of the migration, the Humpback whale will not eat, for it does not know the food in the area, and will only eat in its own backyard, which can be a trip of several weeks. The Humpback can travel in speeds up to 16 mph. Humpback whales will often travel on pods consisting of 3 to five other whales."

Abstract
This paper provides a detailed analysis of the Zora Nela Hurston's novel "Their Eyes Were Watching God." In particular, the paper examines the novel's realism and whether Hurston has accurately portrayed black life in middle Florida in the 1920s.
From the Paper
"In Their Eyes Were Watching God, that which may have seemed strangest to many readers unfamiliar with the realities of black life in 1920's middle Florida is the town of Eatonville. Janie moves to this town with her second husband, Jody Starks, and Starks quickly becomes the dominant force in the town (See especially Chapter 5 of Their Eyes Were Watching God for the beginning of Starks' rapid rise in Eatonville (Hurston 34-50)). This all-black town Eatonville did exist, and it was Zora Neale Hurtson's birthplace (Awkward 1). As Hurston was proud of pointing out, Eatonville was "the first black community 'to be incorporated, the first attempt at organized self-government on the part of Negroes in America'" (Hurston quoted in Awkward 1). Although Eatonville really exists, Hurtson does modify certain facts about it and its residents in 'Their Eyes Were Watching God'."

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze the book "Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston. Specifically it contains a character analysis of the main character, Janie. It looks at how Janie grows to be a woman in this story, and eventually finds her own brand of peace, as well. At the beginning of the story, she is unsure of herself, and begins to rely on men to prove her own self-worth. By the end of the book, she is strong, independent, and alone, but she has found her peace and her place in the world.
From the Paper
"Janie, the main character in this novel, is a mulatto woman who has lived most of her life the way other people thought she should instead of the way she has always wanted to live. Her mother abandons her when she is young, and her grandmother (Nanny), raises her. The story takes its title from the passage, "They seemed to be staring at the dark, but their eyes were watching God" (God 151). Throughout the novel, she attaches herself to men who are not right for her, trying to establish her self-worth through others. However, each man teachers her something about herself, so that finally, she learns something important from each of them in turn, and then can create a viable and happy life for herself. Her first husband is Logan Killicks, an older man that Nanny chooses for her. "

"Their Eyes Were Watching God", 2006.
An analysis of Zora Neale Hurston's novel "Their Eyes Were Watching God" and its message about the forces shaping human behavior.

Abstract
This paper discusses Zora Neale Hurston's novel about African-American life in early twentieth-century Florida, "Their Eyes Were Watching God". The paper analyzes the novel's message about human behavior which suggests that how we behave is not simply based upon our personalities, but rather is shaped by the complex forces of various social factors, such as race, class and gender.
From the Paper
"Race is an important social force in Their Eyes Were Watching God, although it is not the dominant social force. Janie Woods is an African-American woman in the South in the early twentieth century. Although slavery had been abolished before the time during which the novel takes place, the novel is not all that far removed from slavery. The oldest characters in Their Eyes Were Watching God are old enough to have been slaves. This is in particular true for Janie's grandmother, who reared her (Hurston 16). Nevertheless, the portrayal of white characters in the novel is positive, as opposed to the portrayal of whites in Toni Morrison's Beloved, for example. Janie grew up with a white family, for whom her grandmother worked."
