Introduction

Servicescape Booms and Bitner came up with the concept of servicescape.

The significance of servicescape has always been stressed by marketers because, in the case of organizations which offer service, there is nothing tangible which the customers can feel or touch.

Accordingly, after Obama was elected to the seat, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was passed in 2009. This law is traditionally referred to as the “Stimulus Bill”. In the following year after it was implemented, the Unite States government invested $148 billion in the health care of which ...

As the spring commencement season winds down, many recent graduates feel trepidation about leaving the academic and purposeful comfort zone. Exiting the high school or college environment implies facing relentless pressure from parents, educators and society to remain on a linear path that leads to a university degree, graduate school, or the workforce. For this reason, young adults feel obligated to conform to a system in which they express having no active voice or personal control. Often, they feel more flummoxed and adrift than when they started academia with such promise. Therefore, it is not surprising that defiance between ...

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn has been a controversial book since it was first published in 1885 in America. It has constantly been on library and school banning lists, and every year when the ACLU releases its reports on banned books, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn makes the list.
