tourism as a type of dark tourism‚ which will help link ghost tourism with dark tourism in my project. From interviewing ghost tourism managers and observing two ghost tours‚ Garcia has concluded that Ghost tours appear to have an educational component‚ however their main objective is entertainment as a commercial activity. This conclusion will help place ghost tourism as a “lighter” form of dark tourism on Stone’s Dark Tourism Spectrum. In this paper‚ Stones creates a “Dark Tourism Spectrum”

Elements of the Dark Ages are still with us Today The Dark Ages were a low point in modern human history. They lasted for roughly a millennium from the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th century to the Renaissance Era in the 15th century.

Visions of psychological‚ emotional‚ spiritual paralysis and despair run rampant throughout dark romantic literature. Dark Romanticism can be seen as the antithesis of the Romantic ideals that reached their ultimate form in Transcendentalism. Edgar Allen Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne‚ two dark Romantics‚ were concerned with the human condition and human nature in a way that few other writers of the time period were. Although strikingly different from the Transcendentalists‚ Hawthorne and Poe emphasize

Then December 1989 comes‚ and we are exposed to a theory that tests all claims‚ the seemingly laughable Dark Sucker Theory. The Dark Sucker Theory states that any given source of light “[doesn’t] emit light; [it] sucks dark. Thus we call these [sources] dark suckers.” This theory focuses on three main points: darkness is existent‚ darkness has a mass heavier than that of light‚ and that dark is faster than light. In all the evidence supplied by the Newsletter’s article‚ who could really argue such

Today though‚ I want to talk about the dark side of money. It’s so well known that money has a dark side that some people don’t even question if it has a light side. On the other hand‚ some people get so lost in their personal development ideas that they forget why money was hard for them to handle in the first place. Money has a dark side; at best it’s a useful tool‚ at worst it’s a vicious illusion. By the way‚ at this time I focus quite a lot on the dark in my writing. I ran away from that for

As we chatted about our lives‚ I realized that we shared many similarities‚ and that living on opposite ends of the earth‚ we weren’t all that different. Traveling through Laos‚ I noticed a few characteristics about my parents’ homeland. Although Laos is one of the poorest countries in the world‚ I was surprised to see a lack of homelessness.

The Dark Child by Camara Laye explores the journey to manhood in the Malinke Culture. Laye writes an autobiography of his life as he looks back into the past of what he has went through. The road to manhood is quite different in the Malinke culture compared to our culture and our acceptance and idea of manhood. Throughout this paper I would like to make a few comparisons and point out key ideas about the differences of manhood within The Dark Child and our own American culture. In the beginning

However‚ as with almost everything we human beings have created‚ technology has a downside. There is‚ we might say‚ a dark side to technology. For openers‚ technology does not necessarily make life simpler; rather‚ it tends to make life more complicated.
