what have i gotten myself into?
Examine the role of animal parks in tourism.
it sounded easy enough and i thought that it would have been a breeze to get through it.
now. i don't know.
i guess one MAJOR issue that i have is, after reading through about 50 journal articles and 16 books, i have huge chunks of information and the problem of consolidating them into a structured paper. the more i read, the more ideas i get until they are like a tangled yarn ball, all jumbled up inside my head, screaming out to get picked.
every idea is important and interesting, one discussion leads to another and another.
take for example:
just take the definition for the term animal parks- there are like 4 different kinds, and then the need to further classify them into captive, non-captive, safaris, parks, etc.
that is not all. the big concern is : are they then "wildlife tourism", "nature based tourism", "ecotourism" or part of "urban tourism"? having to think about it just drives me crazy.
every cloud has a silver lining.
and i guess mine is that i have a month to write an awesome HD paper :)
