Terrorism

Definition of Terrorism

Fernando Reinares (cited on p.120) distinguishes three traits that define terrorism for the

purpose of academic study. Firstly, it is an act of violence that produces widespread

disproportionate emotional reactions such as fear and anxiety which are likely to influence

attitudes and behavior. Secondly, the violence is systemic and rather unpredictable and is

usually directed against symbolic targets. Thirdly, the violence conveys messages and threats

in order to communicate and gain social control.

One Potential Opportunity

Targeting opportunities provide support to intelligence operations that are designed to

counter terrorism. Moreover, opportunities may exist for domestic and foreign travel,

analytics, management training and growth of Australian country (Jongman, 2017).

One Recommendation

The Australian government can develop new national counter-terrorism approach that will

create the basis of TSL industry in long-term and for both nationally with internationally. The

key purpose of this strategy is to generate a clear structure for the work required to struggle

with terrorist crime. This strategy focuses on the significance of cooperation and clears

follow-up of the work performed (Jenkins, 2015).

Inequality

Definition of Inequality

Alkire et al. (2015) define that “the state of not being equal, especially in status, rights, and

opportunities are called inequality”.

CONTEMPORARY ISSUES 8

Potential Opportunity

Avoiding inequality may provide the opportunity to TSL industry for acquiring and retaining

new proficient workforces. In addition, training plays a significant role to get equal

opportunity and helps to treat women and men equally in the TSL industry. TSL industry can

grab the opportunity in terms of growth and development because the equal environment will

motivate the people to participate in each activity of TSL industry. This opportunity could be

grabbed by overcoming the cultural issues and economic issues to apprenticeships and by

providing the equal access to customers in TSL industry (Kluegel, and Smith, 2017).

Suggestion

TSL industry should organize the social programmes for avoiding inequality among

Australian. Furthermore, targeting aids to decline in income inequalities associated with

tourism, sports and leisure activities. Income transfer program could be beneficial in case of

targeting TSL activities and making sure the people to avoid the wider limitation in visiting

in Australian environment (Bonilla-Silva, 2017). It could be performed by targeting the

people geographically and conducting the survey whether people suffer from inequality in

TSL industry of Australia. This survey should provide the opportunity to each participant to

involve in the survey (Hensen, et. al., 2015).

Globalisation

Definition of Globalisation

“This discourse [globalization] is in fact a gigantic misreading of current reality – a deception

imposed upon us by powerful groups and an even worse one that we have imposed upon

ourselves, often despairingly. It is a discourse that leads us to ignore the real issues before us,

and to misunderstand the historical crisis within which we find ourselves. We do indeed stand

at a moment of transformation. But this is not that of an already established, newly globalized

world with clear rules. Rather we are located in age of transition, transition not merely of a
CONTEMPORARY ISSUES 9

few backward countries that need to catch up with the spirit of globalization, but a transition

in which the entire capitalist world-system will be transformed into something else. The

future, far from being inevitable and one to which there is no alternative, is being determined

in this transition that has an extremely uncertain outcome”. (Wright, 2016, p. 250)

Potential Opportunity

Globalization will have provided the opportunity for employees in the TSL sector as

compared with a loss of a job because of gaining the private companies. There are several

corporations in TSL sectors that are insecure in terms of paying higher as compared with

wages in TSL industry. It improves the earnings together with employment in developing

nation due to the inflow of global investment or gains in the value of developing the nation’s

export products (Evrard, 2017).

Suggestion

TSL industry should develop training and re-training of workforces to aid them in keeping

their responsibilities. Because of globalisation, the more diversity is existed within TSL.

Hence, there is requirement to provide training and coaching to employees. Moreover,


CONTEMPORARY ISSUES 12

workers from different backgrounds may face complexity to connect with each other (Wright,

2016). Moreover, cultural competency training is now required so, workforces would enable

to effectively and efficiently work with the different culture in TSL industry. It should also

ensure that corporation is open-minded and appreciates different perspectives about best

working atmosphere for companywide growth. Thus, cross-cultural training is one of the

fastest and effective methods in globalisation that provides backing to TSL industry (Coker,

2014).

Internet and social media

Definition of the Internet and social media

According to Kaplan and Haenlein's (2010, p. 61), “A group of Internet-based applications

that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0 and that allow the

creation and exchange of user-generated content”.

Potential opportunity

Internet and social media will provide the opportunity to explore the more places and aids to

influence the customers in TSL industry. Social media will influence the customers towards

the business and offers the marketers a new set of technique for interacting with the

customers and combined them into the brand via innovative channels. Furthermore,

marketers have to comprehend how the social will persuade the consumer buying behaviour.

Social media marketing creates the visible brand, gaining the ability of customers to address

the data regarding company and how often they encounter the brand (Gerbaudo, 2018).

Transparency could transplant to loyalty when social media marketing is beneficial.

Consumers, who share, follow and regularly post on internet and social media about the

tourism, sports and leisure can provide the opportunity to this industry to obtain higher

growth. This can also gain the web traffic for company logically with consistently via loyalty

of brand (Curran, Fenton, and Freedman, 2016).

Recommendation

It is stated that conventional online advertising modifies because customers click via several

web pages. Furthermore, advertisements are not searchable. When a customer closes one

window and returns to another one with the intention of finding ads they want to saw, then it

may change their attitude towards brand in TSL industry. The key opportunity for a company
CONTEMPORARY ISSUES 16

that deals in TSL industry is to provide marketing via social media. It may create stability

with visibility of shared information (Baker-Sparr, et. al., 2018).

For instance, when a customer focuses on the product while scrolling the facebook feed and,

does not think more about it at the period, but they can later access the social feed and search

on the page of the company to find the data gain in case they want to buy it. Along with this,

when a customer does not search more about the brand through online then they follow the

company on the social feed. They will search what a company shares about product and

brand placement in TSL industry (Simpson, 2016).

Climate change

Definition of Climate change

Climate and climate change are nontrivial and contentious, as also expressed by Todorov

(1986, 259): The question of climatic change is perhaps the most complex and controversial

in the entire science of meteorology. No strict criteria exist on how many dry years should

occur to justify the use of the words “climatic change”. There is no unanimous opinion and

agreement among climatologists on the concept of the term climate, let alone climatic

change, climatic trend.

Potential opportunity

Tourism sector will provide the opportunities for promptly climate change and progressively

decline their emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and grow sustainably. It would be

required to take measure in efficiency of energy, in specifically in accommodation and

transport practices. It would provide backing the financial resources and aids in poor nations

and regions (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2015).

Recommendation

It can be recommended that TSL industry should raise the awareness regarding the healthcare

system about risk climate change positions and gains the volume of TSL employees to better

organizing these impacts. TSL industry should strengthen their competencies for declining

the incidence of vector and water disease such as Malaria and Cholera. This could become

more prevalent as the changes in climate (Stocker, 2014).
