| + | 1. The author considers the bombings of Bali and Kenya as one of the most distressing developments of the year because it hit some poor countries which take the biggest part of their income from the tourism and can't afford it to get lost. In countries like those tourism is the best and sometimes only way out of poverty. The author for example thinks of the employment in the region of Bali sinking by more than 20%. And because of especially Bali being an outrider for the region the attacks might influence not only the directly hit countries but also their surrounding ones. |

| + | 2.The author mentions that tourism, especially the one of the backpackers takes an important role in creating a "world based on mutual respect and understanding between peoples". The development of the backpackers' movement is one of the most significant global social development in our time. As the author says the backpackers respect local cultures more than conservative tourists. Furthermore the money spend by backpackers is more likely to stay in the region they are travelling to and not going to foeign tourism companies. Especially the rapid growth of the number of backpackers is seen as a positive development by the author. |

| − | ===summary 1984===
| + | |
| − | It is 1984 and Winston Smith lives in London which is a city of the country Oceania. The whole world is divided into three countries: Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia. All of them are totalitarian societies, which are led by Big Brother, which censors everyone’s behavior, as well as their thoughts. Winston hates his oppressed life and secretly wants to join the fabled Brotherhood, a supposed group of underground rebels who want to overthrow the government. Winston meets Julia and they secretly fall in love and have an affair, something which is considered a crime. One day, while walking home, Winston encounters O’Brian, an inner party member, who gives Winston his address. Winston had exchanged glances with O’Brian before and had dreams about him giving him the impression that O’Brian was a member of the Brotherhood. Since Julia hated the party as much as Winston did, they went to O’Brian’s house together where they were introduced into the Brotherhood. O’Brian is actually a faithful member of the Inner-Party and this is actually a trap for Winston, a trap that O’Brian has been cleverly setting for seven years. Winston and Julia are sent to the Ministry of Love which is a sort of rehabilitation center for criminals accused of thoughtcrime. There, Winston was separated from Julia, and tortured until his beliefs coincided with those of the Party. Winston denounces everything he believed him, even his love for Julia, and was released back into the public where he wastes his days at the Chestnut Tree drinking gin.
