Kansai International Airport Opened on 4 September 1994, the airport serves as a hub for several airlines such as All Nippon Airways, Japan Airlines, and Nippon Cargo Airlines. It is the international gateway for Japan's Kansai region , which contains the major cities of Kyoto , Kobe, and Osaka. Other Kansai DOMESTIC FLIGHTS fly from the older but more conveniently located Osaka International Airport in Itami , or from the newer Kobe Airport. The airport had been deeply in debt, losing $560 million in interest every year. Airlines had been kept away by high landing fees (about $7,500 for a Boeing 747 ), the second most expensive in the world after Narita's. In the early years of the airport's operation, excessive terminal rent and UTILITY BILLS for on-site concessions also drove up operating costs: some estimates before opening held that a cup of coffee would have to cost US$10. [19] Osaka business owners pressed the government to take a greater burden of the construction cost to keep the airport attractive to passengers and airlines. [20] On 17 February 2005, Chubu Centrair International Airport opened in Nagoya , just east of Osaka. The opening of the airport was expected to increase competition between Japan's international airports. Despite this, passenger totals were up 11% in 2005 over 2004, and international passengers increased to 3.06 million in 2006, up 10% over 2005. Adding to the competition was the opening of Kobe Airport, less than 25 km (16 mi) away, in 2006 and the lengthening of the runway at Tokushima Airport in Shikoku in 2007. The main rationale behind the expansions was to compete with Incheon International Airport and Hong Kong International Airport as a gateway to Asia, as Tokyo area airports were severely congested. Kansai saw an 5% year-on-year increase in international traffic in summer 2013, largely supported by low-cost carrier traffic to Taiwan and Southeast Asia overcoming a decrease in traffic to China and South Korea . [21] The airport authority was allotted 4 billion yen in government support for fiscal year 2013, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and Ministry of Finance have agreed to reduce this amount in stages through fiscal year 2015, although local governments in the Kansai region have pressed for CONTINUED subsidies. [22] Kansai has been marketed as an alternative to Narita Airport for international travelers from the Greater Tokyo Area . By flying to Kansai from Haneda Airport and connecting to INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS there, travelers can save the additional time required to get to Narita: up to one and a half hours for many residents of Kanagawa Prefecture and southern Tokyo. .

In this last Journal Assignment, you reflect on how this course influences your overall understanding and approach to positive social change. To prepare for this Assignment: Review Walden University’s General Education Learning Outcome: “Change” in the Syllabus . Consider how the General Education DEEP-C model contributed to your ability to discover and evaluate ideas from different perspectives, and is instrumental in your progress toward achieving personal goals and effecting positive social change. Revisit definitions of social responsibility shared in the Week 1 Discussion in light of all the information you have considered throughout this course. Read Chapters 11 and 12 in the Loeb (2010) course text. Reflect on the exercise in collective action represented by the Group Project. Think about the benefits collective action offers for accomplishing the goals of the Group Project. The Assignment: Writea 3- to 4-paragraph journal entry in which you briefly analyze the value of collective action in working toward social change. Describe how your perspective has evolved or changed through this course and how you believe it will continue to evolve after the course. How has this experience influenced your ability to create positive social change beyond the term of this course? .

Journal: Evaluating Resources Personal experience and perception lend a great deal to addressing a social issue. However, as individuals, there are limits to one’s knowledge on any topic. The ability to conduct research on a social issue allows for a more comprehensive perspective on multiple aspects of an issue, insight into the communities impacted, and lessons learned for other like-minded groups who have done similar work. In this Journal Assignment, you explore the concept Discovery as it relates your group's research on a social topic. To prepare for this Assignment: Consider the assigned readings from the first 3 weeks of this course. Review the explanation of DEEP-C Model General Education Learning Outcome “Discovery” in the Syllabus. Consider “ Discovery” as it relates to the work you are doing in this course. Bearing in mind the amount of information that is readily available in current times, think about how people involved in social movements of the past gained information on the social issue and related topics. The Assignment: Write a 2- to 3-paragraph journal entry in which you address the following questions: What appropriate sources of information will be used to support your group's claims about your topic? At this early stage in the process of investigating your topic, what advantages do you see in conducting research to discover various factors associated with the topic? In what ways does the ability to conduct research strengthen your group's approach? General Education Learning Outcomes (The DEEP-C Model) Discovery : Students will locate and identify appropriate sources of information using multiple sources and methods, including bibliographic, textual, experiential, and experimental research. Evaluation: Students will critically assess texts and arguments in multiple forms and contexts using quantitative and qualitative logic, the scientific method, ethics, and pragmatics. Expression: Students will effectively and ethically communicate information and opinions verbally and nonverbally using written, oral, behavioral, and visual methods adapted for diverse audiences and purposes. Perspective : Students will be able to articulate the consistency and flexibility of knowledge as it is experienced across time, space, and culture. Change : Students will articulate how their ability to discover, evaluate, and express ideas from different perspectives is instrumental in their progress toward achieving personal goals and effecting positive social change. .
