Biography of Eva Gouel, Pablo Picassos Mistress

Eva Goeul (1885–December 14, 1915) was Pablo Picassos lover during his Cubist collage period in the early 1910s, one of several influential and romantic partners in Picassos life. She inspired a few of his most famous pieces of art, including Woman with a Guitar, which is also known as Ma Jolie (1912). Fast Facts: Eva Gouel Known For: Muse and mistress of Pablo Picasso, 1911–1915Born: 1885 in Vincennes, FranceParents: Adrian Gouel and Marie-Louise Ghà ©rouzeDied: December 14, 1915 in ParisEducation: unknownSpouse: noneChildren: none Early Life Eva Gouel was born Eve Gouel  sometime in 1885 to Adrian Gouel and Marie-Louise Ghà ©rouze of Vincennes, France. At some point, she adopted the name Marcelle Humbert and claimed to have been married to a fellow named Humbert, but that doesnt seem to have been the case. Like most of the women Picasso met at this time—indeed, like many people in the late Belle Epoque (1871–1914) of Paris—Eva kept her background purposefully mysterious, going by different names that came from various sources. In the correspondence of Picassos friends at the time of their alliance, Eva was considered both sweet and calculating, described as a small spicy girl who looked like a Chinese doll by Italian painter Gino Severini (1893–1966). Meeting Picasso Picasso met Gouel in 1911 at the cafe Ermitage in Paris, when she was going by the name of Marcelle Humbert. She was living with the Jewish-Polish artist Lodwicz Casimir Ladislas Markus (1870–1941), a satirist and minor Cubist better known as Louis Marcoussis. At the time, Picasso had been living with his first muse, Fernande Olivier, since 1904. He was diligently absorbed in studies developing Cubism with painter Georges Braque, and Fernande was hotly jealous of that absorption. Fernande and Picasso often went to the Paris cafes with Marcelle and Louis. On a number of occasions, they were all invited to the home of writer Gertrude Stein on the rue de Fleurus, a popular place for artists and writers in Paris at the time. Stein and Picasso were close friends, but she and her longtime partner Alice B. Toklas didnt spot the relationship between Picasso and Gouel until February 1912. Fernande and Marcelle became fast friends: Fernande confided her miseries to Marcelle, including her unhappiness with Picasso. In 1911, Fernande began an affair with the young Italian Futurist Ubaldo Oppi (1889–1942). She asked Marcelle to cover for her in order to deceive Picasso, but it was a mistake. Instead, Marcelle began a clandestine affair with Picasso herself. Picassos Eve Picasso began his affair with Marcelle—now going by Eva Gouel at Picassos request—in late 1911. He began adding coded messages into his works, using allegorical imagery like bowls of peaches (thats Eva) and jugs with large spouts (thats Pablo). He also added written phrases like Jaime Eva (I love Eva) and Ma Jolie (My pretty one) as elements of the paintings. The famous Woman with a Guitar, the artists first work in Analytical Cubism, painted between 1911 and 1912, contains Ma Jolie, a nickname he gave to Eva after a popular song at the time. Picasso asked Marcelle Humbert to return to a version of her birth name, in part because he wanted to distinguish this mistress from the wife of his friend and fellow Cubist George Braque, also named Marcelle. He transformed Eve into the more Spanish-sounding Eva, and, to Picassos mind, he was the Adam to her Eve. Fernande On May 18, 1912, Picasso told Fernande that he had discovered her affair with Oppi and was leaving her for Eva. He moved out of her apartment, fired the maid, and pulled his financial support of her; Eva moved out of her flat with Louis Marcoussis, and the new pair left Paris for Cà ©ret in southern France. In June 1912, Picasso wrote to his friend and art collector Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler, I love [Eva] very much and I will write this in my paintings. Horrified, Fernande left the penniless Oppi and decided to seek out Picasso to rekindle their relationship—or so Picasso feared. Tucked away from the frantic Paris lifestyle in Cà ©ret, close to the Spanish border, Picasso and Eva got wind of Fernandes impending visit. They quickly packed and left instructions not to let anyone know of their whereabouts. They headed for Avignon and then met Braque and his wife in Sorgues later that summer. Death In 1913, Picasso and Gouel visited Picassos family in Barcelona, Spain, and talked about marriage. But Picassos father died May 3, 1913, and that same year, Eva either contracted tuberculosis or developed cancer. By 1915, she had spent weeks in the hospital. Picasso wrote Gertrude Stein describing his life as hell. Eva died in Paris on December 14, 1915. Picasso would live until 1973 and have dozens of affairs, a handful of which were well-known relationships with women, all of whom affected his art and life. Known Examples of Eva in Picassos Art Picassos period of  Cubist collages  and papier collà © flourished during his affair with Eva Gouel; he also took two photographs of her. A number of his works during this time are either known or thought to be of Eva, the best-known of which are: Woman with a Guitar (Ma Jolie), 1912.Woman in an Armchair, 1913, Collection Sally Ganz, New YorkSeated Woman (Eva) Wearing a Hat Trimmed with a White Bird, 1915-16, private collection.Eva on Her Deathbed, 1915, pencil drawing, private collection Sources McAuliffe, Mary.

Critical Essay on Selected Works of Edgar Allan Poe

INTRODUCTION Edgar Allan Poe is one of the best prominent writers whose work are continually appreciated by all generations in time immemorial, with often obsessive and gothic themes in Edgar Allan Poe’s work, they have had a hug e significant influence in the literature of America. In this paper I have selected some of his works and explained the impressive features of each in relation to their plots and design. This explains a clear reason for one to love his literature works. I have chosen carefully the works that illuminate Poe’s prolific and short carrier among them prefaces, reviews and correspondence by Poe as well as pieces of themes dealing with transcendentalism and alternative romanticism, sensation fiction, sciences of mind and the south of slavery. This paper therefore takes plot of these selected works as the aspect and point of the mind and the south and the slavery. This paper takes plot of these selected works as the aspect of point of concentration throughout the d ocument to explain the impressive bits of the general works. MAIN DISCUSSION The first work is the Masque of the Red Death, a short story that mainly focuses on a dauntless and happy prince Prospero, who attempts to escape a harmful plague-the Red Death, a disease where the victim becomes totally convulsive and sweats blood instead of water and kills within half an hour, by hiding in his castellated abbey. With him in the Abbey’s masquerade ball are a thousand wealthy nobles who have come to seek refuge. The masquerade ball is decorated with many different colors. In the middle of their noisy lively enjoyment, an unexplained figure enters the abbey and makes goes through each of the room. Prospero decides to confront this stranger and falls dead on the floor. Gothic fiction takes the centre stage in the story and is often seen as an allegory about how death is inevitable. There are many interpretations about the red death, as well as trials to know the truth about the red death plague Poe uses a lot of conventions mainly the traditional gothic fiction and the setting of a castle. The seven single toned rooms represent the human mind and showing the difference in personalities. Imagery of blood and time shows corporeality. The red death represents the attributes of human life including mortality. This shows that the entire story is allegorical and shows how it’s of no use to escape or shut down death. However some critics try to shun down the ideology of allegories and instead concentrate on Poe’s acceptance distaste for didacticism in writing. In the story Poe does not exclusively show any sign of morals. Blood and the red color emphasized the throughout the story is a symbol for both life and death they are highly emphasized by the masked figure-that was never stated to be the red death but a symbol of the red death- making it first appearance in the eastern side of the abbey’s rooms and is colored blue a color that is well defined to represe nt birth. The walled abbey was supposed to be a protective location, to keep the illness away. The structure is oppressive and maze like design. The story amazes me because prince Prospero the one that was in fear of the plague is the same person who goes to confront it when it enters the room. The prince is also aware that the disease is viral and contagious but still goes to the act of inviting the nobles from different places gives them a masquerade ball not knowing that they might have contracted the disease. The second work of Allan Poe where I found interest was the murders in the rue morgue (1841), a character in Paris by the name Auguste Dupin is the man who tries to solve mysterious cold blood murder of two women. There are various witnesses who heard a suspect though they don’t agree on what language was spoken. Dupin finds a hair on the murder scene that does not seem to be that of human. Poe uses a model of a super brilliant detective and the personal friend serves as the narrator. The final findings are also revealed before the thinking that leads up to it. There is murder of Madame L’Espanaye and her daughter in a fictional street-Rue Morgue. The mother’s throat is cut nearly to separate with her body and her daughter strangled and stuffed in a chimney. The two era murdered on the fourth floor of inaccessible room locked from inside, neighbors give contradictory statements claiming to hear the murderer speak a language not familiar with them.   A man named Adolphe Le Bon has been imprisoned without evidence pointing at his guilt. This makes Dupin intrigued that he volunteer to give â€Å"G† a policeman his services. Because the neighbors claim not to have heard any sensible conversation on the murder house, Dupin concludes that the hearing was no human voice and the hair he found was not human. He therefore goes to advertise in the newspaper if any one has lost an ourang otang. The call is answered by a sailor and dupin goes to ask him questions about the murder incident. The sailor answers that the animal had escaped from captivity with the sailor’s shaving razor and entered an apartment’s window in Rue Morgue. The ourang otang attempted to shave the Madame by imitating its master’s daily routine, the deed incited fury and unfortunately it strangled the madame’s daughter to death, fearing its master’s whip, the animal fled after an attempt to hide the daughter’s body on a chimney. The sailor got aware of the brutal murder, panicked and ran away. The impressive bit of this work is the way the ourang otang wanted to shave the Madame and by use of force if the Madame refuses to comply. The other thing is that the sailor is aware of the death caused by his creature and yet he remains foolish by turning up to collect his ourang otang. What one can learn about the story is that: a person shouldn’t be judged without material evidence in the case Adolphe. When also we decide to help it should not be for the purpose of financial gain but by the act of true spirit of integrity The third work of Edgar Allan Poe which I selected was The Oval Portrait. This is a story that revolves around a portrait in Chateau. The story begins the narrator; who is left in a mansion and is seeking refuge. He admires the art work decorations in the room and goes through a book that criticizes the paintings. He goes on to find a painting which shocks him due to its extreme realism and spends like an hour with it, he looks at it in a silent awe till he cannot look at it any further. He seeks consultation from the book for further explanation. The picture was painted by an artist depicting his young bride, the artist paid attention too much to the painting till he forgot to pay attention   to the woman he was painting, after finishing the painting and turning to his wife, he discovers that she had died but her spirit is transformed into the life like painting. Confusion between relationship and artwork takes the centre stage where art and its addiction are depicted as ultimate killers with the sole responsibility of killing the young bride. Morals and lessons learned is that the relationship between art and life is considered as rivalry. What impresses me so much with the story is the most poetic heading the beauty of the woman kills her. Art reveals an artist’s guilt, he feeds on it but it can also kill the life he modeled in the art. I also selected Poe’s work of the Tell-Tale Heart (1843). This is a story of un-named narrator who is certain that he is sane but murders an old man with some secret power kind of â€Å"vulture eye†. He carefully plans for the murder and after doing it he hides the body under the the floorboards. It’s not certain the kind of relationship the murderer and the old man had but the old man is considered a father figure, and the narrator seems to work for the old man as a servant. The lack of clearness and poor details about the main characters has a sharp contrast to the certain plot details thus leading to the murder. The narrator is said to suffer from a disease that causes over-acuteness of senses. The old man posses a pale blue eye that appears likes that one of a vulture which stresses the narrator and makes him to plan for the murder. The blue eye can be seen as parental surveillance and the tough principles that guardians always have on their children, this is what the narrator hates most. The narrator really loves the old man and his actions but he only hates the blue eye. He has been on the plot to kill the old man for seven nights but everyday when he goes to the old man’s room, he finds the vulture eye always closed making it impossible to kill him. The eighth day he finds the old man awake and doesn’t draw back and kills him then concealing the body under the floorboard. The old man’s yells during the attack made the neighbors to report the matter to the police. The narrator goes on courageously to invite the three officers to look around for any evidences since he was very confident. He puts the chairs just on the spot where the old man’s body was concealed and goes on to tell the officers that the old man is out of the country. A faint noise that grows louder is heard by the narrator as if it’s the old man’s heartbeat coming from under the floorboards, after constant and steady sounds of t he heartbeat, the narrator confesses of killing the old man and tells the officers to open up the floorboard to remove the body. Impression created by the story Though the story is somehow not clear but we understand that evil will never go unpunished and evil haunts as seen by the narrator explaining how the murder haunted him day and night. Terror makes the narrator to admit his guilt in the process of explaining his sanity. Some of the things to prove that the narrator was insane is that after making sure that the old man is dead, how possible could he have heartbeats again? In another Allan Poe’s work, Premature Burial, The narrator tries to explain his experience of regular attacks with a single disorder called catalepsy-a condition where the patient occasionally fall in death –like trance. The falling into death-like trance leads to the fear of being buried alive. The narrator mentions a group of people who have suffered the same disorder and have been buried alive. The narrator’s condition makes him to slip into the trance state of unconsciousness. He had the phobia of falling into that state when he is away from home since the disorder has grown worse over time. The condition forces the narrator to build a tomb and he tells his relatives and friends not to burry him permanently. The tomb has equipment that allows him to signal others incase he wakes up from his â€Å"death†. The story reaches the climax when the narrator awakens in the paramount of total darkness in a confined area. He notices that his precautions were not put into practice and starts to cry out. He is only to be removed in berth of a boat and not grave. He is shocked with his obsession towards death. I was particularly impressed by the story as the truth can be terrifying more than fiction especially if there is evidence that what has been said has always happened I also selected The Gold-Bug as Poe’s work, the setting of this short story is in Sullivan’s island, South Carolina, the main character is William Legrand a man who claims to be bitten by a gold- colored bug, Legrand’s servant fears that he might have been going insane and goes further to inform his friends who agrees to pay visit to Legrand. Legrand drags the two into epics after deciphering to them a secret message that leads to a buried treasure. The narrator is not certain that what Legrand says is true because the guy has lost his treasure and might be going insane. After confusion Legrand confusing the narrator about his own drawing, the narrator returns home only when a month later Jupiter comes back to ask the narrator if they can go back to his master. They go on expedition along with the gold-bug. In the wilderness of Sullivan’s island they come across a tree that Legrand climbs with him towing the gold-bug. On the tree he finds a skull which he drops to Legrand through one of the eye socket. He acknowledges the spot to dig. There they find the treasure buried by Captain Kidd. The treasure is worth a million and half dollars. Legrand then elaborates how he knew the treasure’s location based on the simple substitution cipher using numerical frequencies. The gold-bug is a cipher that uses substitution methods The impressive bit of this work was brought out in the aspect that there should be a devised method of secret writing that can only be understood by the few. This helps in storing safely of the secret information about a phenomenon with high value. It also entails holding a secret until a solution is given to know how many are patient enough and are willing to work towards a getting that solution. In Another Work, The black cat (1843), Edgar still goes on to use the first person narrative and there is no clear definition of the narrator. The narrator elaborates that he and his wife loved animals and had many pets. One of the pets was one black cat called Pluto which the narrator is fond of and likewise happens to the cat. The mutual relationship lasted for several years till the narrator became alcoholic. The height of the story come in when the narrator comes home drunk and believes that the cat is avoiding him, when he tries to take a grasp suddenly of the cat, the animal bites him in the rage of fear, and the narrator goes on to seize it and gouges its eyes out by using the pen knife from his pocket. After the incident the cat flees on seeing his master making the narrator to start regretting about his cruelty, the trend continue for a long period of time until the narrator became irritated due to the spirit of perverseness. He goes out to the garden and hangs the cut from a tree where the cat meets its death, the very night the narrator’s house catches fire forcing them to flee only to come back the following morning to find imprint on the remaining wall the figure of a gigantic cat hanging from a rope. The narrator becomes terrified but comes to understand the reasons as to why the image was there. He begins to miss Pluto, the coincidental part of the story is that the narrator find a similar cat to Pluto without one eye, he takes it home but after a short while begins to hate it. One day the narrator and the wife decided to visit a cellar, the new cat got under his master’s feet nearly challenging him down the stairs. Fury ran over the narrator as he grabbed an axe throwing it at the cat with the intention to kill it, accidentally the axe stopped at his wife and   killed her, he goes on to conceal her body with bricks. The police came for investigation and were blinded by the brick wall thus making the narrator to go free, the cat a lso went missing. When the police came again for further investigations, the narrator was completely confident that they were going to find nothing only for the alarmed police to find the wife’s corpse. The black cat became the horror of the narrator. I was impressed by the fact that all that goes around will come back especially the evil one will always come back sooner and in a bad way, I also get impressed by the Edgar through the inspiration he brings out about anger. Anger at all the time should be control to avoid detrimental actions and some things that make us regret. At the end, I thought of selecting one of the Poe’s poems to see what could be impressive in them and I picked on The Raven (1845). This is a poem that talks about Raven’s unexplainable visit to an upset lover, who is slowly becoming mad. The lover who is a student is complaining for the loss of his love Lenore. The narrator sits reading a book†forgotten lore† as a way of relieving him from the pain of lost love. he gets amused by raven’s disposition, he ask the bird its name and the raven a responds ‘nevermore’ the narrator then gets shocked that the bird can talk though only the same word. He calls the bird a friend and then soon recalls that the bird will just fly out like the other friends have done before. The bird responds again, never more a word from the bird’s unhappy master. Though he tries to not to talk with the bird, the only thing that comes into the narrator’s mind is the lost love and he asks the bird if at a ll they will re-unit with Lenore in heaven. Most of the impressions that I found in this work unraveled when Poe tries to explain to us that in the times of sorrow, our soul is trapped perverse conflict, between to remember or to forget. Losing our love is a remorseful and a never ending remembrance. CONCLUSION Edgar Poe uses first person narrative in his work of writing so as to keep the reader in suspense to see if he will undisclose the narrator. The act of symbolism is also used in most of his stories as he tries to elaborate the relevancy of his story to the real life situations. Therefore, I find a lot of things to admire in Allan Poe’s works. A lot of impressive things are very evident in most of his works, hence the reason I am amazed by his works as a writer.

Essay on The Progressive Eras influence on the New Deal

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;The accomplishments taken place upon the onset of the many New Deal legislations owe much to the seeds implanted and unknowingly disseminated by the pre-WWI Progressive movement. Sparked by the new image as a world power, industrialization, and immigration at the dawn of the new century, a new found reform movement gripped the nation. With the new found image of the nation and world as a whole, the reforms advanced the position of the previously ignored people of the nation, as did its reincarnation and rebirth apparent in the New Deal.

Beginning with the Underwood Tariff of 1913, it was the first lowering of taxes since the Civil War and stood against the protectionist lobbying. Next, he introduced the Federal Trade Act, which set up the Federal Trade Commission to investigate and halt unfair and illegal business practices. Also, the Clayton Anti-Trust Act deemed certain businesses illegal (trusts and horizontal mergers), declared unions legal, and also strikes, boycotts, picketing and the collection of strike benefit funds were ruled legal.

The Romantic spirit was one that stressed the inherent goodness of humans and individualism outside of society at this time. They believed that man, through human nature is good and well behaved, but society and so called civilization is what disrupts the minds and emotions of people. The Romantics were mostly in response to the Enlightenment movement and their emphasis of reason over emotion. To a Romantic, if man is inherently sinful, reason restrains his passions, but if he is naturally good, then in the proper environment, his emotions can be trusted. This gives credibility to the idea of individualism and the flourishing of human emotions and needs. They

Is Islam a Violent Religion by Nature Essay Example For Students

Is Islam a Violent Religion by Nature? Essay Is Islam a Violent Religion by Nature?Islam and the worship of Allah (god) began with Muhammad and his revelations that lasted for 23 years of his life from (610 C.E.- 623 C.E.). In the Islamic religion it is believed that he was the last prophet sent by Allah (god) and this made all his teachings into to Law and are looked at as the will of God. These messages were given to him through the archangel Gabriel, in a kind of continuation to the Jewish Torah and Christian Bible, which the Quran shares some similarities or past history with them such as the belief in Abraham and Jesus as a prophet, but in the eyes of Mohammad the Jews and Christians had fallen astray from the real teaching of god. His life and actions were very important to the creation of the religion. I would say that his policies changed quite a bit under different situations of his career as a prophet. At the begging he had a small following that consisted of mostly of middle class that was upset with the injustices in society. They were expelled from Mecca and begin raiding caravans under the pretense that they had been robed of their belongings when they were expelled from Mecca. Mohammad tell them that their battle is holy and dieing doing the will of Allah is respectable and will be rewarded in the after life. After the battle of Badr in 624 c.e. the muslims having smaller forces but knowing that god is on their side attack a larger group of meccanMuslim warriors become highly feared and began winning battles even if out numbered. Quran (4:74) Let those who fight in the path of God who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoever fight in the path of God, whether he be slain or victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward This attracts more support for Mohammads movement not only from idealist who would fight under the protection of god and the benefits of this in the afterlife but also from people that wanted to reap the benefits of the pillaging that was going on gaining numbers in his movement. Here Mohammad began changing his rules of tolerance to some that were justifying attacks even in the sacred month. This is also were understanding the Quran begin to become very contradictory and up to interpretation of the of the asbab al-nuzul (occasion of the revelation) because the earlier verse are abrogated by the later ones. Today this is still under question as to what is the proper interpretation of the sharia (Islamic law). Currently there are five accepted schools of thought that try and get the meaning of the religion/political system that is Islam and this is for only the Sunny Muslims. All of this is also was all written thirteen-hundred years ago by people that lived nomadic lives in the desert translating this modern life today is completely up to interpretations of people and what you are trying to find when you are reading its holy verses, word of god. Man makes religion, religion dose not make man Karl Marx. And in the wrong hands with all these verse to quote and this modernizing to make from it people such as Osama Bin Laden emerge in religions to kill the innocent and non-belivers in his version of gods plan according to what he see in the Quran. Just as thisa has happened in many other religions in the past that have less places to look for such pointless killing of incoent people, such as the Spanish inquisition and the crusades of the Christians who manages to pull this out of a religion whos founder was a peacefull hippie that just wanted peace and love and would turn the other cheek if hitSuch as in his treatment of the Jew and Christians in Quran 2:83 And (remember) when We made a covenant with the Children of Israel, (saying): Worship none save Allah (only), and be good to parents and to kindred and to orphans and the needy, and speak kindly to mankind; and establish worship and pay the poor-due. Then, after that, ye slid back, save a few of you, being averse. We later see Mohammad expel the Jews out by force in Medina over an argum ent and change the direction of prayer from Jerusalem over to Median after having an argument and is bitter. Hadith Volume 5, Book 59, Number 448:Narrated Aisha: When the Prophet returned from the (battle) of Al-Khandaq (Trench) and laid down his arms and took a bath Gabriel came to him while he (Gabriel) was shaking the dust off his head, and said, You have laid down the arms? By Allah, I have not laid them down. Go out to them (to attack them). The Prophet said, Where? Gabriel pointed towards Bani Quraiza. So Allahs Apostle went to them (i.e. Banu Quraiza) (i.e. besieged them). They then surrendered to the Prophets judgment but he directed them to Sad to give his verdict concerning them. Sad said, I give my judgment that their warriors should be killed, their women and children should be taken as captives, and their properties distributed. After this Later their accepted to stay were they are concerned and keep their religion as long as they pay a tax. .u869591a66dc74330f8cf9f1715508362 , .u869591a66dc74330f8cf9f1715508362 .postImageUrl , .u869591a66dc74330f8cf9f1715508362 .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .u869591a66dc74330f8cf9f1715508362 , .u869591a66dc74330f8cf9f1715508362:hover , .u869591a66dc74330f8cf9f1715508362:visited , .u869591a66dc74330f8cf9f1715508362:active { border:0!important; } .u869591a66dc74330f8cf9f1715508362 .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .u869591a66dc74330f8cf9f1715508362 { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .u869591a66dc74330f8cf9f1715508362:active , .u869591a66dc74330f8cf9f1715508362:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .u869591a66dc74330f8cf9f1715508362 .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .u869591a66dc74330f8cf9f1715508362 .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .u869591a66dc74330f8cf9f1715508362 .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .u869591a66dc74330f8cf9f1715508362 .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .u869591a66dc74330f8cf9f1715508362:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .u869591a66dc74330f8cf9f1715508362 .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .u869591a66dc74330f8cf9f1715508362 .u869591a66dc74330f8cf9f1715508362-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .u869591a66dc74330f8cf9f1715508362:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: Minimum Wage And Why We Should Leave It EssayIn many Islamic countries you find abusive attitudes toward women, in Pakistan there is even report of violent killings were women are kill because of honor is very violent killing in Pakistan , have lesser value in society and are treated inferior in many forms because they are to believed to be created from the male like it is found in the Torah.

International Tourism

Question: Critical Analysis of Tourism Destination: Singapore. Answer: Introduction This case study is all about performing a critical assessment of the target destination Singapore. Singapore is known as a tourism destination and the focus of this study is aimed at analysing different aspects related to the performance of tourism industry across the country. In performing such analysis, the important aspects that would be considered for discussion includes the identification of factors that makes tourism attractive to visitors, major issues that are evident within the Singapore tourism industry and an assessment of the positive and negative aspects as prevalent within Australian tourism. Finally, the ways in which sustainability in the tourism can be achieved will be identified. Critical Analysis of Tourism Destination: Singapore An analysis of Singapore economy indicates that it is identified as a favourite tourism destination for tourists from across the world. Singapore has accomplished the position as highly favourable tourism spot for couples. The tourism industry of Singapore is identified as a mega industry and the statistics shows that there are 15231469 international tourists that have visited across Singapore in 2015 (Hui Wan, 2009). This number represent more than three times of the entire Singapore population. The important factor that is noted especially in respect to the performance of Singapore tourism industry indicates that the tourism destination has been highly efficient in terms of attracting tourists from across the world. It includes tourists from Asia, America, Europe, Oceania, Africa and other parts of the world and this signifies that there have been tourists from across the world that is attracted in Singapore (Hui Wan, 2009). The growth in the number of tourists visiting the desti nation is increasing over years, and the trend is identified from the table as indicated below: Year Tourism Arrivals [1]Percentage change from previous year 2010 11,641,700 20.20% 2011 13,171,303 13.10% 2012 14,496,091 10.10% 2013 15,567,923 7.40% 2014 15,095,152 -3% 2015 15,231,469 0.90% The growth above shows that there has been increasing number of tourists visiting across the country but the recent years have shown a relative smaller growth as compared to previous year. A critical assessment of the Singapore as a tourism destination shows there are various major attractive points and factors that attract tourists from across the world to visit the country. Some of these important features as identified are good shopping orientation to people, experience of island resort to visitors, distinctive cultural and historical landmarks across the nation, beautiful nature sightseeing, good dinning opportunity and different types of tourist events that are being carried out throughout the year (Joan 2015). This shows that majority of the tourism attributes are present across the Singapore tourism, which is the principle factor that leads to rising in the tourists visiting across the country. Overall Singapore is identified as a favourable tourism destination among tourists because of a wide range of facilities and opportunities as available for tourists. Destination Attractive to Tourists Singapore is identified as a highly attractive destination among tourists from across the world. The most significant are the high-class infrastructure across the country, which mainly includes high-class building and shopping malls (Joan 2015). Shopping is an important feature of Singapore tourism, as branded goods from all major brands are easily available to visitors (Joan 2015). Secondly, the natural beauty is an important feature of Singapore as an attractive stop for tourism, and this mainly includes islands, beaches that that have become the attractive factor to tourists, Lavishing accommodation with luxury class stay, cleanliness, good accommodation opportunities and a higher level of safety and security. These are considered as the major attractiveness that attracts people to visit Singapore (Joan 2015). Multiculturalism is also identified as a leisure tourism spot, and there has been higher level of emphasis of the Singapore government. The Singapore government has contribu ted towards attracting tourists from across the world and it has various marketing plans and actions that act as a major attractive factor to tourists because the governmental support is a major factor altering the decisions of tourists in selecting a tourism destination (Joan 2015). Leisure, as well as business support, is adequately provided as Singapore economy is lashed with the advanced technological system. Thus, it caters to the needs and requirements of diverse visitors, and this is, therefore, a major motivational factor for both the leisure class and the business class people to travel to Singapore. Important Issues Related to the Tourism Development across Destination An analysis of the tourism destination Singapore indicated that the economy is identified as a popular tourism destination. There have been visitors from world that visits Singapore and over years, it has been able to manage significant number of visitors from worldwide. Despite being highly advanced and developed region, there are challenges that are faced currently by Singapore with respect to its tourism development and growth (Tan Tan, 2013). The major challenge to Singapore is mainly its strong dollar performance and it is a major discouraging factor to tourists from across the world in selecting Singapore over others (Henderson et al., 2011). The prediction further indicates that Singapore currency is also identified to perform strongly and this leaves the tourism industry of the economy at a major disadvantageous point and act as a major barrier to its growth and development (Teo Chang, 2012). The costly factor is, therefore, a challenging factor to Singapore regarding accom plishing enhanced performance levels (Chaney Ryan, 2012). Apart from the costly factor, another major factor that is identified as challenging to the efficient performance of the Singapore economy is mainly the competition level posed by the other major tourism destinations nearby to it (Horng Tsai, 2012). The other major destinations such as Malaysia, Thailand, and Australia poses significant such challenges to the efficient performance of Singapore tourism, as these economies are relatively cheaper as compared to that of Singapore economy (Challenging year ahead for tourism industry 2016). These competitive market forces have significant impact over the performance of Singapore tourism industry (Challenging year ahead for tourism industry, 2016). It is not only the competition from other destination, but a major issue has been identified that can affect the performance of Singapore tourism destination. This major issue is mainly the labour shortages (Challenging year ahead for tourism industry 2016). Labour is needed on every major sector, and this is essential for the Singapore tourism industry because Singapore portrays itself as a clean and safe tourism destination County (Joan 2014). In order to maintain its position, the role of labour is crucial, but there have shortages predicted, and this is likely to have an adverse impact on its performance (Joan, 2014). Another major challenge ahead of Singapore tourism industry is to pace itself better as compared to the changes that are taking place in the external environment. According to Prime Minister Lee HsienLoong, it is essential for the Singapore to grow its tourism industry by way of raising the quality level of experience to customers and by way of valuing every tourist visiting country (Joan 2014). Prime Minister said that simply focusing on increasing number of tourist will not work for the Australian tourism industry. Another major significant challenge as noted in respect to the efficient performance of tourism industry of Singapore is the weakness in the global economy. This particular factor is also having a severe level of threat to the efficient growth and development of the Singapore tourism industry (Joan, 2014). For example- the decline in the Chinese and US markets and the uncertainties with respect to ongoing reforms in China and monetary condition normalisation in the USA has been a major contributing factor to inefficiencies with respect to the tourism sector performance in Singapore (Joan 2014). Thus, the performance across the global arena is also adversely affecting the performance of Singapore tourism industry in a direct manner. The trend in respect to Singapore tourism also shows that there has been little overall emphasis being placed especially respect to attracting business class travellers (Joan 2014). This is also identified as a major factor that has acted as a challenge to achieving development with respect to the tourism industry at large as business sector represent a major sector to the efficient performance of the tourism industry in Singapore. (Joan 2014). Analysis indicates that Singapore presents itself as a destination for business class travellers as well, through incorporating the advanced technological support and assistance to the business class people. Despite this, there has been decreasing level of business class people travelling to Singapore and this is regarded as a major challenging factor to the efficient performance and growth of Singapore Tourism (Joan 2014). Overall, the analysis as carried out above signifies that there are various such challenges and problems that have been identified in respect to the growth and development of Singapore tourism sector. It is, therefore, essential that there should be significant such measure that should be considered to achieve effectiveness in respect to this particular area of tourism to achieve a further level of effectiveness and efficiency in its performance. Negative and Positive Effect on Host Community As Singapore is identified to have been a tourism destination, there are people from all across the world that are visiting the economy as a part of their tourism country. However, an analysis indicates that there is both the positive as well as negative impact faced by the local community people because of such tourism development. The important positive, as well as negative impact on the local community, are discussed as follows Positive Effect: The positive effect on the local community groups across Singapore from the tourism development across the country is identified in terms of increasing opportunities to earn higher by selling their products and services to the international visitors. Since shopping is identified as an important feature of Singapore tourism, the international tourism positively involves in the purchasing process, and this is a favourable factor for the community groups in achieving higher growth and success (PawitraKay Tan, 2003). Apart from this, there are significant such governmental initiatives in the form of local economy development that have been considered. Singapore government is positively engaged in enhancing the brand image and reputation of Singapore economy as a favourable tourism destination because this sector accounts for significant contribution to the economys GDP growth and performance (PawitraKay Tan 2003). Such government initiatives have become a positive or su pportive factor to ensuring positive development of the local community group as well. This is quite a significant factor in assisting the local community people, as economys development in terms of enhanced healthcare system is beneficial to them, as they also get access to better quality care and support in the economy. As suggested by Hui and Wan (2009) there has been significant healthcare reform that has been identified with respect to the performance of health sector across Singapore, and this is quite a significant factor affecting the performance and development of local people across the country. Thus, the developments that are possible because of promoting tourism destination by the local government are positively affecting the performance of local community in terms of better accessibility to different areas of their business activity and processes (Hui and Wan 2009) Negative Factor: Apart from the positive level of impact noted in respect to the performance of local community from the developments that are taking place, there are negative factors that are also witnessed in respect to it (Holiday 2013). The negative factor to the local community group people in Singapore because of tourism development is identified in terms of increasing pollution levels across the country and this is identified, as a negative factor affecting the performance of locals heath condition (Holiday, 2013). The increasing number of visitors to the country has resulted in increased overall usage of vehicles and transportation, which in turn has negatively contributed towards the environmental performance. The resulting impact of increasing pollution level is negative in the local community people in terms of their adverse health performance condition (Holiday, 2013). It is crucial that there must be initiatives considered aimed at accomplishing better management of the health condition of the local community. Another major factor that has adversely affected the local community people across Singapore from the development of tourism sector across the economy is mainly the loss of local customs, values, and beliefs (Joan 2014). These local cultural values are highly diluted because of the involvement of diverse cultural people from diverse backgrounds. Apart from this, the growth in the tourism industry in Singapore has resulted in increasing consumption of resources (Joan 2014). These include all kinds of resources such as water resources, electricity consumption and there has been rise in the overall pollution from the tourists polluting the country environment. The local community people sustain the resulting impact of all these factors. These can be regarded as the major negative aspects noted in respect to the Singapore economy and the local community people from the development of tourism sectors in the economy (Joan, 2014). The analysis above indicated that the growth in the tourism in Singapore has contributed in a positive as well as the negative manner and the impact has been profound on the performance of local community group across the country. Achieving Sustainable Development of Singapore Tourism It is essential that there must be higher level of sustainability that must be accomplished in respect to the performance of overall tourism industry across the economy. This requires proper policies aimed at encouraging sustainability throughout the industry concerned. There are four different policies considered appropriate in this context and these are: Higher tax on Hotels: This sustainability policy is crucial from the point of view of assisting the performance of tourism industry in a sustainable manner. This is mainly because hotels account for direct level of implication in terms of consumption of higher overall resources. Hence putting a double or higher taxation system could be useful in encouraging hotels to consumer less power and resource (Joan, 2014). Penalties on Polluting Environment: There can be penalties on the polluting environment for the tourists so that they can be restricted from taking such actions aimed at polluting the environment. This is an important policy requirement that is essential to consider from the point of view of achieving efficient and sustainable performance (Henderson, HermesmYip, 2010). Promotion of Recycling Strategies: There can be the positive application of this particular strategy of recycling that can be encouraged so that sustainability can be achieved in operations. The hospitality and other businesses that are directly engaged in serving the needs and expectation of tourists should be required to adapt recycling strategy and must try to recycle the processes and activities that allow for such application of recycling strategy (PawitraKay Tan, 2003). Fuel Efficient or Electric Energy Efficient Cars: It is essential that there should be the application of fuel-efficient cars that must be performed in achieving minimal or no impact on the environment. This is quite a significant factor aimed at accomplishing enhanced performance levels towards the environment so that it can be restricted from being polluted (Joan, 2014). These are some major policies and initiatives that are essential from the point of view of encouraging a positive level of performance aimed at accomplishing a higher level of effectiveness and sustainability.
