»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents results of a sociological research (using observation, analysis, concepts and methods) conducted at two very different airports (one in Ohio and one in NYC) at different times, in order to come up with a sociological analysis of people in airports. The results include over four hours of observations studying behavior, setting, interactions, rules or social patterns and social categories.
From the Paper
"If planes are delayed, if a passenger is late, or if baggage is lost, the efficiency at which the airport operates is affected, which changes the atmosphere and therefore the mood of travelers. I reasoned that because an airport is not just a location, but a system that governs all its inhabitants, I might notice that people in an airport are only as social as they need to be. Because of their very personal reasons for being at a very impersonal place, and because the airport thrives on a system, human beings are naturally less social."

Abstract
The space shuttle program from inception has been challenged by trade-offs. Management at NASA is forced to make difficult decisions regarding schedule and budgets, and some of those decisions aren't proper from an engineering perspective. Due to budgetary constraints and a disconnect between management and sound engineering, the nation has experienced two shuttle tragedies: Challenger and Columbia. This paper attempts to explore the tradeoff and conflict between budget and safety.

From the Paper
"On January 28, 1986, the space shuttle Challenger exploded 18 miles from its initial launch point at Kennedy Space Center, a mere 73 seconds into its tenth flight. Seen only by launch cameras, intermittent puffs of black smoke escaped the right solid rocket booster (SRB) from .678 until 2.733 seconds into the flight, stopping only to reemerge as a flame another 56 seconds later, and ultimately leading to the destruction of the orbiter. (NASA, 1986) All eight crew members of the Challenger were lost in the explosion and the eight-mile plummet into the Atlantic Ocean."

From the Paper
"The 9/11/01 terrorist attacks in the US by itself would have been enough to crack the world economy wide open. But misery always comes in pairs, and as it sent the world tumbling in a wild panic it was buffeted in quick succession by the SARS scare and the skyrocketing prices of oil. All three problems were especially paralyzing to both overseas and domestic travel, on which the aviation industry live and die. With the use of planes demonstrated in the US as preferred method of terrorist attacks, air travel begun to make people nervous. SARS, the mysterious flu virus that originated in Southeast Asia, soon spread throughout the world and many countries so affected had been crossed out as travel destinations. As for the surging oil prices, all kinds of transportation systems were logically the first and worst sufferers. The airline industry received the hardest blows."
