The Tragic and Shocking Assassination of JFK

On November 22, 1963, the youth and idealism of America in the 1960s faltered as its young President, John F. Kennedy, was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald while riding in a motorcade through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. Two days later, Oswald was shot and killed by Jack Ruby during a prisoner transfer. After researching all the available evidence about Kennedy’s assassination, the Warren Commission officially ruled in 1964 that Oswald acted alone; a point still greatly contested by conspiracy theorists worldwide. Plans for the Texas Tour John F. Kennedy was elected to the presidency in 1960. A member of an illustrious political family from Massachusetts, the World War II  naval veteran Kennedy and his young wife, Jacqueline (â€Å"Jackie†), charmed their way into the hearts of America. The couple and their beautiful young children, Caroline and John Jr., quickly became favorites of every media outlet across the United States. Despite a somewhat turbulent three years in office, by 1963 Kennedy was still popular and thinking about running for a second term. Although he had not officially announced his decision to run again, Kennedy planned a tour that resembled the beginnings of another campaign. Since Kennedy and his advisers were aware that Texas was a state where a win would provide crucial electoral votes, plans were made for Kennedy and Jackie to visit the state that fall, with stops planned for San Antonio, Houston, Fort Worth, Dallas, and Austin. It would be Jackie’s first major appearance back into public life after the loss of her infant son, Patrick, in August. President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy emerge from a Fort Worth, Texas, theater, into a waiting car on the day of Kennedys assassination, November 22, 1963. Historical  /  Getty Images Arrival in Texas The Kennedy’s left Washington, D.C. on November 21, 1963. Their first stop that day was in San Antonio, where they were met by a welcoming committee led by Vice President and Texan Lyndon B. Johnson. After attending the dedication of a new aerospace medical center at the Brooks Air Force Base, the President and his wife continued on to Houston where he delivered an address to a Latin American organization and attended a dinner for Congressman Albert Thomas. That night, they stayed in Fort Worth. The Fateful Day in Dallas Begins The following morning, after addressing the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce, President Kennedy and First Lady Jackie Kennedy boarded a plane for a brief flight to Dallas. Their stay in Fort Worth was not without incident; several of Kennedys Secret Service entourage were spotted drinking in two establishments during his stay there. No immediate action was taken against the offenders but the issue would arise later in the Warren Commission investigation of Kennedy’s stay in Texas. The Kennedys arrived in Dallas just before noon on November 22 with approximately 30 members of the Secret Service accompanying them. The plane landed at Love Field, which would later serve as the site of Johnson’s swearing-in ceremony. Bettmann Archive / Getty Images They were met there by a convertible 1961 Lincoln Continental limousine that was to take them on a ten-mile parade route within the city of Dallas, ending at the Trade Mart, where Kennedy was scheduled to deliver a luncheon address. The car was driven by Secret Service agent William Greer. Texas Governor John Connally and his wife also accompanied the Kennedys in the vehicle. The Assassination Thousands of people lined the parade route hoping for a glance at President Kennedy and his beautiful wife. Just before 12:30 p.m., the presidential motorcade turned right from Main Street onto Houston Street and entered Dealey Plaza. The presidential limousine then turned left onto Elm Street. After passing the Texas School Book Depository, which was situated at the corner of Houston and Elm, shots suddenly rang out. One shot hit President Kennedy’s throat and he reached up with both hands toward the injury. Then another shot struck President Kennedy’s head, blowing off a part of his skull. Jackie Kennedy leapt from her seat and started scrambling for the back of the car. Governor Connally was also struck in the back and chest (he would survive his wounds). As the assassination scene was unfolding, Secret Service agent Clint Hill jumped from the car following the presidential limousine and ran up to the Kennedys’ car. He then jumped onto the back of the Lincoln Continental in an attempt to shield the Kennedys from the would-be assassin. He arrived too late. Hill, however, was able to help Jackie Kennedy. Hill pushed Jackie back into her seat and stayed with her the rest of the day. Jackie then cradled Kennedy’s head in her lap all the way to the hospital.

Bettmann / Getty Images The President Is Dead As the driver of the limousine realized what had occurred, he immediately left the parade route and sped toward Parkland Memorial Hospital. They arrived at the hospital within five minutes of the shooting. Kennedy was placed on a stretcher and wheeled into trauma room 1. It is believed that Kennedy was still alive when he arrived at the hospital, but barely. Connally was taken to trauma room 2. Doctors made every attempt to save Kennedy but it was quickly determined that his wounds were too severe. Catholic priest Father Oscar L. Huber administered last rites and then chief neurologist Dr. William Kemp Clark pronounced Kennedy dead at 1 p.m. An announcement was made at 1:30 p.m. that President Kennedy had died from his wounds. The entire nation came to a standstill. Parishioners flocked to churches where they prayed and school children were sent home to mourn with their families. Even 50 years later, nearly every American who was alive that day can remember where they were when they heard the announcement that Kennedy was dead. The President’s body was transported to Love Field via a 1964 Cadillac hearse supplied by Dallas’ O’Neill funeral home. The funeral home also supplied the casket that was used to transport Kennedy’s body. When the casket arrived at the airport, the President was loaded onto Air Force One for transport back to Washington, D.C. Lyndon B. Johnson takes the oath of office as President of the United States, after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy November 22, 1963.   National Archive / Getty Images Johnson’s Swearing In At 2:30 p.m., just prior to Air Force One leaving for Washington, Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson took the oath of office in the conference room of the plane. Jackie Kennedy, still wearing her blood-splattered pink dress, stood at his side as U.S. District Court Judge Sarah Hughes administered the oath. During this ceremony, Johnson officially became the 36th President of the United States. This inauguration would be historical for many reasons, including the fact that it was the first time the oath of office was administered by a woman and the only time it occurred on an airplane. It was also notable for the fact that there was not a Bible readily available for Johnson to utilize during the swearing in, so instead a Roman Catholic missal was utilized. (Kennedy had kept the missal on Air Force One.) Lee Harvey Oswald Although the Dallas police closed down the Texas School Book Depository within minutes of the shooting, a suspect was not immediately located. Approximately 45 minutes later, at 1:15 p.m., a report was received that a Dallas patrolman, J.D. Tippit, had been shot. Police were suspicious that the shooter might be the same in both incidents and quickly closed in on the reported suspect who had taken refuge in the Texas Theater. At 1:50 p.m., police surrounded Lee Harvey Oswald; Oswald pulled a gun on them, but the police successfully arrested him. Lee Harvey Oswald (1939 - 1963) (C) is taken into custody by police after allegedly shooting President John F Kennedy, Dallas, Texas. Archive Photos/Stringer/Archive Photos Oswald was a former Marine who was identified as having ties to both communist Russia and Cuba. At one point, Oswald traveled to Russia with hopes of establishing himself there; however, the Russian government believed him to be unstable and sent him back. Oswald had then attempted to go to Cuba but failed to get a visa through the Mexican government. In October 1963, he returned to Dallas and procured a job at the Texas School Book Depository through a friend of his wife, Marina. With his job at the book depository, Oswald had access to the eastern-most sixth floor window where he is believed to have created his sniper’s nest. After shooting Kennedy, he hid the Italian-made rifle that was identified as the murder weapon in a stack of boxes where it was later discovered by police. Oswald was then seen in the depository’s second-floor lunchroom approximately a minute and a half after the shooting. By the time police sealed off the building shortly after the assassination, Oswald had already exited the building. Oswald was captured in the theater, arrested, and charged with the murders of President John F. Kennedy and patrolman J.D. Tippit. Jack Ruby On Sunday morning, November 24, 1963 (just two days after JFK’s assassination), Oswald was in the process of being moved from the Dallas Police Headquarters to the county jail. At 11:21 a.m., as Oswald was being led through the basement of police headquarters for the transfer, Dallas nightclub owner Jack Ruby shot and killed Oswald in front of live television news cameras. Oswald turns toward the waiting vehicle as burly form (Jack Ruby) plunges forward, arm outstretched. Bettmann  / Getty Images Ruby’s initial reasons for shooting Oswald were because he was distraught over Kennedy’s death and he wanted to spare Jackie Kennedy the difficulty of enduring Oswald’s trial. Ruby was convicted of killing Oswald in March 1964 and given the death sentence; however, he died of lung cancer in 1967 before an upcoming re-trial could occur. Kennedy’s Arrival in Washington D.C. After Air Force One landed at Andrews Air Force Base just outside of Washington D.C. on the evening of November 22, 1963, Kennedy’s body was taken via automobile to the Bethesda Naval Hospital for an autopsy. The autopsy found two wounds to the head and one to the neck. In 1978, the published findings of the congressional House Select Committee on Assassinations revealed that JFK’s brain had gone missing at some point during the autopsy. After the autopsy was completed, Kennedy’s body, still at the Bethesda Hospital, was prepared for burial by a local funeral home, which also replaced the original casket that had been damaged during transfer. Kennedy’s body was then transported to the East Room of the White House, where it remained until the following day. At Jackie’s request, Kennedy’s body was accompanied by two Catholic priests during this time. An honor guard was also stationed with the late President. On Sunday afternoon, November 24, 1963, Kennedy’s flag-draped casket was loaded onto a caisson, or gun wagon, for transfer to the Capitol rotunda. The caisson was pulled by six grey horses and had previously been used to carry the body of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It was followed by a riderless black horse with reversed boots placed into the stirrups to symbolize the fallen President. The Funeral The first Democrat to lie in state at the Capitol, Kennedy’s body remained there for 21 hours. Nearly 250,000 mourners came to pay their final respects; some waited up to ten hours in line to do so, despite the cold temperatures in Washington that November. Arlington, VIrginia 11-25-1963 Led by members of the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia (MPDC) the Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs, and the US Marine Corps band the funeral procession of slain President John F. Kennedy approaches the entance to Arlington National Cemetery after passing the Lincoln Memorial and crossing over the Potomac River on Memorial Bridge. Mark Reinstein / Getty Images The viewing was supposed to end at 9 p.m.; however, a decision was made to leave the Capitol open overnight to accommodate the throngs of people who arrived at the Capitol. On Monday, November 25, Kennedy’s coffin was taken from the Capitol to St. Matthew’s Cathedral, where dignitaries from over 100 countries attended Kennedy’s state funeral. Millions of Americans stopped their daily routines to watch the funeral on television. After the service concluded, the coffin began its final procession from the church to Arlington Cemetery. Black Jack, a riderless horse with polished boots turned backward in its stirrups, followed the caisson. The horse represented a warrior fallen in battle or a leader who would lead his people no longer. Jackie had her two little children with her and as they exited the church, three-year-old John Jr. stopped for a moment and raised his hand to his forehead in a childish salute. It was one of the most heart-wrenching images of the day. John F. Kennedy Jr. saluting his father at funeral on November 25, 1963. Bettmann  / Getty Images Kennedy’s remains were then buried at Arlington Cemetery, after which Jackie and the President’s brothers, Robert and Edward, lit an eternal flame. The Warren Commission With Lee Harvey Oswald dead, there remained many unanswered questions about the reasons for and the circumstances surrounding John F. Kennedy’s assassination. To answer these questions, President Lyndon Johnson issued Executive Order No. 11130, which established an investigatory commission that was officially called the â€Å"President’s Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy.† The commission was led by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Earl Warren; as a result, it is commonly referred to as the Warren Commission. For the remainder of 1963 and most of 1964, the Warren Commission intensively researched all that had been discovered about JFK’s assassination and Oswald’s assassination. They carefully examined every aspect of the case, visited Dallas to examine the scene, requested further investigations if facts seemed uncertain, and poured over the transcripts of literally thousands of interviews. Plus, the Commission conducted a series of hearings where they heard testimony themselves. On a photograph used as evidence by the Warren Commission, labels mark the locations of finger and palm prints on boxes inside the Texas School Book Depository after the assassination of President John Kennedy. Bettmann / Getty Images After nearly a year of investigating, the Commission notified President Johnson of their findings on September 24, 1964. The Commission issued these findings in a report that ran 888 pages. The Warren Commission found: Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin and conspirator in the death of President John F. Kennedy.A single bullet caused non-fatal wounds to both Kennedy and Connelly. A second bullet caused Kennedy’s fatal head wound.Jack Ruby acted alone in his assassination of Oswald and did not conspire with anyone to commit this act. The final report was highly controversial and has been questioned by conspiracy theorists through the years. It was briefly revisited by the House Select Committee on Assassinations in 1976, which ultimately upheld the major findings of the Warren Commission.

Literature Community College Revenue Community colleges have roots dating back to the 1900’s and became more homogenous with the help of the 1960’s California Master Plan for Higher Education. In the past, community colleges were tuition-free or subsidized by local property taxes and state appropriations (Cohen, M. Brawer, F. 2008). Currently, community college financing has been unpredictable â€Å"due to the discretionary nature of state support and the vagaries of funding initiatives† (Phelan, 2014, pg. 7). Nevertheless, colleges continue to be dependent on state appropriations and local property taxes as the primary source of revenue. Due to the instability associated with appropriations, community colleges must develop dynamic budgets that have the capacity to overcome fluctuations in revenue and enable the college to offer affordable access to higher education to its constituents. Community College Expenditures The greatest cost associated with operating a community college is the cost of personnel. Personnel costs include the salaries paid to administrators, instructors, and staff as well as the cost to provide benefits (Israel Kihl, 2005).

Tourism Research

Question: What is the impact of the film tourism sustainability on the environment from a community perspective? Answer: Background of film tourism sustainability: Over the past several years, Film tourism has been increasing its popularity in the society. One of the major beneficial aspects of the film tourism industry is that the filmmaking provides economic benefits to the local community and society. Several promotional activities of the film tourism industry have been facilitating the tourism business in an effective manner. Although the tourism industry has been growing in an effective manner, film tourism industry contributes in promoting different tourist places to the community people. Tourism revenue is on the major outcomes of the film tourism industry, as it is responsible for strengthening the countrys economic structure in an appropriate manner (Connell, 2012). On the other hand, the filmmaking provides economic benefits to the local community by generating money through filming taxes and fees. Film tourism industry obtains such profitable outcomes by employing local crewmembers including camera operator and make-up artists. With the involvement of the local community, the film tourism industry can sustain their business in the global platform. Moreover, the film tourism industry facilitates in exploring new and attractive tourists spots to the people (Kim, 2012). Consequently, it enhances the tourism value for that particular place. Hence, it can be assessed that the local community can facilitate the film tourism industry to uphold its sustainability in an effective manner. Film tourism industry has been providing the environment sustainability with the community perspective. On the other hand, the local community facilitates the film tourism industry in enhancing the effectiveness of the business in the global platform. Research aim / sub-questions: The aim of the research is to analysis the impact of the film tourism sustainability on the environment from a community perspective. With the involvement of the research analysis, the film industry will be able to understand the huge impacts of the community on the tourism sustainability. The outcome of the research will facilitate the future projects to be investigated in an efficient manner. Moreover, the researcher analyses the research topic in a detailed approach for obtaining a beneficial outcome. Paradigm: The researcher will select the interpretive paradigm and qualitative methodology for investigating the research study in a detailed manner. Interpretive views have a different form of origins in different disciplines. The interpretivism paradigm has facilitated as a critique of positivism in the social science (Robson McCartan, 2016). The growing popularity of the interpretive paradigm has facilitated the researcher to select the same approach in order to obtain profitable outcome from the research study. In this scenario, the researcher has selected interpretivism design, as it involves the researcher to interpret elements of the study. The interpretive approach is based on two viewpoint including relativist ontology and transactional or subjectivist epistemology. Relativist ontology suggests reality, which is based on the understanding and meaning on the experimental and social levels (Mackey Gass, 2015). On the other hand, the transactional epistemology is based on the belief th at the people and knowledge are inseparable. It indicates the apparent line between the research subjects and researcher. Hence, it can be assessed that the interpretivism approach is socially constructed. The researcher has utilized the particular form of approach in order to obtain the unique, specific and deviant outcome from the research. Methodology: The methodology includes several research activities including research types, research process, research structure, approach, research design, reliability and validity and ethical consideration. The researcher has identified the exploratory research design in order to enhance the reliability and viability of the research topic. On the other hand, the researcher has chosen the interpretive research approach in order to get the reliable outcome of the research. The researcher has involved the qualitative research approach for investigating the research topic in a detailed manner (Taylor, Bogdan DeVault, 2015). Moreover, the key professionals from the film tourism industry have helped the researcher analyzing the research study in a systematic manner. The researcher has involved the qualitative research approach in order to achieve the aims and objective of the particular research topic. In this scenario, the researcher has involved the primary data collection method for gathering rel iable data on the research topic of the impacts of film tourism on the environment sustainability from a community perspective. Qualitative primary data collection process has facilitated the researcher ensuring the greater level of depth of understanding of the research topic (Panneerselvam, 2014). In the data collection process, the researcher includes the interview process for obtaining detailed analysis on the research topic. Moreover, the research analysis has facilitated the researcher in identifying the key developing issues on the research topic. In this context, the researcher includes the qualitative approach, as the key professionals provide a detailed discussion on the research topic, and they investigate the topic bases on their personal experiences. Methods: Research methods include data analysis and data collection, survey method, research limitation and the different research process. In this context, the researcher has selected the primary data collection based on the qualitative research approach. With the involvement of the qualitative research method, the researcher has obtained adequate information on the research topic (Flick, 2015). Primary data collection has facilitated the researcher in accumulating the reliable data and information on the film tourism industry and its impacts on the environment sustainability. The researcher has involved the semi-structure interview for the key professionals of the film tourism industry. With the involvement of the semi-structured interview process, the researcher has evaluated the factors influencing film tourism industry for obtaining environmental sustainability in an effective manner. Data collection: Data collection has two distinct parts including primary data collection and secondary data collection. The researcher has avoided the secondary data collection in order to accumulate reliable information on the research topic in an effective manner (Billig Waterman, 2014). With the involvement of the secondary data, the researcher accumulates data and information on the research topic from secondary sources including books, newspapers, magazines, journals, online portals, etc. In this particular case, the researcher has selected the semi-structured interview for investigating the research topic in an effective manner. With the involvement of the qualitative research approach, the researcher has successfully investigated the impacts of the film tourism industry on the environment sustainability from community perspective (Green, Camilli Elmore, 2012). On the other hand, the primary data collection can be divided into two groups including qualitative and quantitative data analysis. Quantitative research methods involve some the respondents in order to accumulate information on the research topic based on the current market statistic. Qualitative research methods do not involve the respondents and mathematical calculation (Miller et al., 2012). It is associated with the words, feelings, sounds, emotions, colors and other non-quantifiable elements. In this context, the 6 key professionals of the film tourism industry have provided adequate knowledge on the impacts of the film tourism sustainability from community perspectives. Qualitative studies focus on the greater level of depth and understanding of the research topic. Qualitative data collection method includes the interviews, open-ended questionnaires, focus groups, observations and case studies. Research population, sample, and sample size: Sampling is one of the major factors for the research investigation. With the involvement of the proper sampling method, the researcher will be able to save the costs of the research in an effective manner. It makes the research of any size manageable (Reynolds et al., 2014). Moreover, it provides adequate opportunities in processing the information in more effective manner. It also accelerates the speed of the primary data collection in the research. Probability and non-probability sampling methods are two distinct forms of sampling method. In this scenario, Probability sampling suggests the random selection process, whereas the non-probability sampling process does not depend on the random selection (Chaawla Sondhi, 2012). The researcher has selected 6 key professionals from the film tourism industry to investigate the research study in an effective manner. In this scenario, the researcher has selected the key professionals depending on the probability sampling technique. The researcher has selected the random sampling in order to reduce the bias from the research investigation. Hence, the sample size is 6 key professionals of the film tourism industry. The researcher has not involved the larger sample dimension in order to save the cost of the research in an effective manner. Probability sampling method can be categorized into three sections involving simple random sampling, systematic random sampling and, stratified random sa mpling. The researcher has selected the simple random selection in order to diminish the biases from the research. Data analysis: Qualitative and quantitative are two forms of the data analysis plan. The researcher has selected the qualitative research method in order to investigate the impact of film tourism sustainability from a community perspective. Qualitative research includes the interviews, focus groups, etc. data analysis involves the identified common patterns within the research responses in an effective manner (Billig Waterman, 2014). With the involvement of the qualitative research analysis, the researcher can achieve research objectives and aims in an appropriate manner. In the absence of the primary data collection, the data analysis method can include common patterns and controversies within the secondary data related to the research area. The researcher avoids the quantitative data analysis, as the particular research needs to be investigated in a detailed approach. On the other hand, the quantitative research approach often failed to accumulate the reliable data on the particular research top ic (Taylor, Bogdan DeVault, 2015). In this context, 6 key professionals have provided adequate knowledge on the research topic of impacts of film tourism industry on the environment sustainability from a community perspective. In this scenario, the researcher has selected the qualitative research approach to investigate the research issue in a detailed approach. Through the engagement of involving the qualitative research approach, the researcher can evaluate the impact of the film tourism industry on the environment sustainability from the community perspective.

Around 750 B.C.E, the Greeks began to form settlements on Sicily and the culture of the native peoples of the island gradually shifted. The most important area of Sicily at this time was the Greek colony of Syracuse which controlled most of the island. The Greek-Punic wars then began in 600 B.C.E as the Greeks and Carthaginians fought for control of the island.

In 1262, Sicilian locals rose up against the government in the War of the Sicilian Vespers which lasted until 1302.

Employment At Will Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 250 words

Employment At Will - Essay Example Many people including Werhane and Radin have contested EAW. Proponents of EAW agreement argue that it does not violate respect accorded to employees since it is a free will agreement (Allhoff, & Vaidya, 2008). However, EAW interferes with respect of human rights. For instance, an employee at free will contractual agreement will find it extremely difficult to fight for basic human rights or even responsibilities such as whistleblowing (Werhane and Radin, 2004; Repa, 2010).EAW poses a threat of violations of moral obligations for both parties. It is a moral obligation for the employer, for instance, to treat the employees with dignity when at work and during termination. Explanations for termination should be morally justified and explained on humane grounds to maintain respect (SAGE, 2011). The case of Pugh v. See’s Candies, Inc., demonstrates perfectly how respect can be absent even when there is free will (Miller, & Jentz, 2010).The list of reasons is endless. The same way em ployers value and respect corporate social responsibility so should they value employees in EAW contracts. Additionally, arbitrary financial and managerial actions are not endured, why should human resource actions be arbitrary? (Pozgar, 2010)ConclusionAlthough the employees act at free will on EAW contracts, good business ethics demand that they are treated in the humane way to prevent issues of ethical and moral concerns. Only then can it be claimed that respect has been accorded to the employee.
