    The football player is running away from the police who is trying to catch him, however the player appears to be far ahead of them and winning the game. The fact that the football player is still holding a football and located in a stadium shows that the player is actually still playing the game despite his recent hold up with the law.

    In America sports are important but football seems to be vastly more important and more widely known as a specifically American sport. The overwhelming topic on any sports network such as ESPN and the NFL Network are the growing number of lawsuits against the National Football League concerning head injuries and lack of concern that the leaders of the NFL had about the risk players were being put in. Both sides of the lawsuits are passionate about their ideas and making sure that they are not only heard but that action will take place to resolve the situation as a whole. George Orwell states that “one can choose – not simply accept – the phrases that will best cover the meaning, and then switch around and decide what impression one’s words are likely to make on another person”. (115) The power of words can make or break an argument; the words surrounding the NFL Controversy are no different inevitable, permanent and intentionally misleading players putting them at serious health risk.…

    This leads to the discussion and idea of scapegoating. The psychology behind the scapegoat theory is that an individual is able to blame another entity while maintaining a dignified personal image. Moreover, has the NFL become the scapegoat of an issue that has now reached the epidemic status in the minds of the entities involved? There is no question that prior to 2002, the year Michael Webster would became the first American Football Player to be diagnosed with CTE that the NFL acted in an unethical manner. However, we have to assess has the NFL been ethical in its approach to the issues of concussions of late and not be subjected to judge them on predetermined…

    In the domestic low-cost airlines industry of Thailand, there are three major airlines, which dominate the industry’s output, Thai Air Asia, the current Market leader, Thai Airways International’s own Nok Air and Orient Thai and One Two Go, a joint operation. How do low-cost airlines compete in a highly competitive market? How far do the characteristics of the competition and the price war in the industry, lead to prosperity or destruction? In both Thailand and a more mature market like the US, the low-cost airlines industry doesn’t seem to profit pleasingly. This raises more questions, what would a successful low-cost airline possibly do to gain a sustainable business success? Perhaps, non-pricing competition? To respond to these questions I chose to investigate Thailand, a famous tourist destination, as a studying ground. By doing so, I will investigate the following research question:…
