Longshore drift is also a geographical process caused by waves. It happens as a result of a longshore current, occurring due to the angle of the wind direction. A longshore current produces waves breaking at an angle to the shoreline, which generates longshore movement. Longshore drift is the movement of sand along the coast, usually occurring within the surf zone. Longshore drift is a geographical process that is a major player in the shaping or evolution of a shoreline.…

Elia Kazan’s ‘On the Waterfront’ journeys the moral redemption of Terry Malloy and his struggle to…
Both Rose and Kazan delineate their protagonists to create their own moral tendencies against all opposing majority even though they are frowned upon for doing so. Within On The Waterfront, Terry Malloy creates a misplaced and nervous figure, although he contrasts this when becoming much more confident to oppose the antagonist, Johnny Friendly. A conversation between Terry and Eddie shows that Terry is in fact “with [himself]” and not on any opposing side. This concludes that Terry does not follow the social norm and instead believes in his own moral sentiment that is not in favour of the longshoremen and the mob. Terry is also shown to be the only person who openly testifies against Johnny Friendly, directed at him Terry states that he is…
In The Politics of Power in “On the Waterfront, “ author Peter Biskind employs sophisticated diction and a journalistic tone to analogize this film to the life of Elia Kazan during the Red Scare of the 1950s. His interpretation of the film is complex, but it mainly consists of the notion that Terry Malloy suffers from an “interior struggle, his struggle to come to moral awareness and to act on his new perception of right and wrong” (29) (much like Kazan went through during the HUAC hearings) and that the film itself “offers an elitist model of society in which power is the prerogative of experts in the law and its enforcement in alliance with social engineers, and family to perform an essential task of social control” (30). He further interprets…

The relationship between humans and their environment is a topic that engenders much debate. Humans are intellectual. They can think, reason, feel and make deductions or hypothesis and seek to solve or prove their deductions or theories. The environment on the other hand is inanimate and exists by means of natural laws and principles that govern the universe. It cannot prevent man’s exploitations; it cannot take up arms and fight. However, in its own way, by natural laws, it makes efforts to purge and renew itself from the effects of man’s endeavors. Mangor (2002) argues that like the ocean that shapes coastal landforms, the coasts are dynamic aspects of the environment that are in constant change. Thus, by means of its natural processes such as sea level rise, waves and various phenomenon, erosion, accretion and reshaping of coasts, flooding and the creation of continental shelves it defends itself against man. A specific aspect of the environment that engenders conversation is the coastal landscape: its beauty, its purpose, its abuse, and its future.…
The interview of the executive vice president Ari Karhapää will act as primary data during this investigation. The information provided with the interview will make the SWOT analysis of Tornator’s waterfront plot business possible to conduct. The SWOT analysis shows strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the business and it is important to determine the current success and position of Tornator’s waterfront plot business. With the SWOT analysis a clear picture of Tornator’s situation in waterfront plot business can be seen and analyzed in order to make improvement suggestions to the Tornator’s waterfront plot marketing. The interview will act as a resource for SWOT analysis and this can affect negatively to the analysis, because…
Development along the coast is very popular due to the natural beauty of the area, and the opportunities that the coast has such as importing and exporting. Development includes things such as the building of human settlements, which would be encouraged by the fact that there would be jobs in the form of primary industries such as fishing but also in docks, which would be more development as they would have to be built. The coast can also attract many tourists, so more facilities would have to be built to accommodate these people. All of this can damage the environmental and ecological infrastructure of the area.…
The waterfront promenade, the most important component, shown in figure, is designed to work as a spinal cord connecting the whole waterfront activities together, such as open spaces, commercial uses, and public plazas, starting from the staircase Talkha bridge and ending at El-Mashaya Extension. The promenade is equipped with necessary streetscape elements, sculptures, water frountains, and trees and plans, see figure. Some positions of the promenade are directly connected to the River Nile to increase the public access to water and to provide a diversity of opportunities to experience the water along the walk such as docks, ramps, stairs, plenty of seating and overlooks, and Kayak or small craft launch zones should be Provided as shown in…

To live below the water is very fascinating for the mankind. There are so many architects who had tried to build underwater structures but couldn’t succed, because the construction part is the most difficult part in these kinds of structures. Environmental conditions underwater will affect the form of the structure, provision for ventilation and services. Underwater structure is a place where people who do not dive or do not swim can actually feel/experience the living underwater. With the melting of ice caps, the world will go underwater, so we should be prepared to build structures underwater in the future. Space for water and space for living can be perfectly combined. Because of vertical and horizontal freedom, the experience in the water neighborhood will stay dynamic. Terms such as real estate and movable property, however will acquire a completely new meaning. Based on case studies in foreign countries that have actually these kind of structures. Present study explains the constructional techniques and execution of these kinds of structures in short.…
