Contemporary Trend
Order Description
You will write an essay on a contemporary issue affecting the hospitality industry. This paper will utilise a minimum of six sources including books, journals and other scholarly articles, not just trade journals and blogs.
The focus of this course is on professional as well as personal development. You need to select one topic discussed in class or choose a topic of your own and ask my permission to write about it. The purpose of this essay is to enable you to select a contemporary issue in the hospitality industry and explore it in depth. Both your topic’s relevance to the current work culture and the affect this trend will have on your career must be discussed.
You must summarise the main points of the topic in general, show insight in the field (i.e. what is it about? how much impact will it have?), and synthesise other’s thoughts (i.e. does researcher X’s opinions differ from researcher Y’s opinion? How is this important?). This will demonstrate to me that you are aware of the issues involved. Show that you can relate ideas these to your own professional development.
