COVID19 and the air travel industry: An analysis of the financial impact.

bring awareness to the extent of impact to the aviation industry. You would be shown how the industry had been steadily increasing in profits over the years leading up to the dawning of Novel Coronavirus in September, 2019. All industries were impacted but the aviation industry was one of the first due to the ease of spread between people. This, coupled with no cure or vaccine has caused immense panic around the world. Thus, governments around the world have restricted cross-country transportation. Similar events can be seen in the catastrophic shocks from airline disasters (Kaplanski and Levy, 2010), the September 11, 2001 attacks (Gillen and Lall, 2003), and the impact of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) on airline stocks (Loh, 2006). A recent study documents the impact of COVID-19 on employment in the airline industry (Sobieralski, 2020).

 Discuss the connection between colonialism and globalization.

Discuss the connection between colonialism and globalization. Provide two well-developed ethnographic examples from course materials, (course readings and/or documentary films), to exemplify this connection. 2. Our categories and discriminations always produce zones of boredom and unreadability; powerful projects of categorization, including development and conservation (as well as your scholarly readings practices, whatever they may be), produce persistently uninteresting, invisible, and sometimes illegitimate zones-which I call gaps. Universal knowledge projects cannot be understood without attention to gaps (Tsing, 2005, p. 172). What are some important gaps that Tsing focuses her argument on? Why does Tsing argue that we need to examine gaps? What can gaps reveal about universal knowledge projects?

What does it mean to speak of nature as a cultural construction? Explain. Discuss the different constructions of the forest that Tsing emphasizes in Friction (. frontier, wilderness, wild spaces, tree histories). Why is it important to be aware of such different constructions of nature?
