The public sphere has often been defined as much by those it excludes as by those it includes. In this essay, the author examines the problem of exclusion in the public sphere, focusing on London, England, in the early modern period. She argues that John Stowe's Survey of London (1603) denied the importance of merchant activity & offered a vertical view of London that invented the city as a space in which artisan-citizens were the real Londoners, while the merchants' spatial perspective was alienating & immoral. 68 References.

Tourism and hospitality industry contributes a lot to the economy of Ghana and many States across the world; as such, it receives much attention in many politico-socio-economic and educational circles. In the area of education, tourism and hospitality is now an academic discipline which is now taught in schools and has experienced a golden age of literature in the second half and last quarter of the twentieth century. The proliferation of literature in this area has led to increasing interest in the subject by many institutions of higher learning around the world. It is for this reason that a study of this nature was undertaken to explore the relevance of some of the courses studied in tourism and hospitality institutions in Ghana, using the Department of Tourism, Cape Coast Polytechnic as a case study. Twenty-two (22) students were randomly selected out of a total of eighty two (82) whilst twenty (20) graduates of the department were purposively sampled. Data collected from the survey design using the questionnaire were analysed quantitatively using version 20 of the Statistical Product for Service Solutions (SPSS v 20). From the analysis, the study concluded that despite the inherent challenges associated with the courses studied in tourism and hospitality educational institutions, they correlate with industry's needs. The study, therefore, recommends among others that there should be close collaboration between tourism and educators and industry for exchange of ideas so that students leave school knowing the industry's expectations and how to secure jobs easily.

Industrial training is a program that aims to provide supervised training within a particular time frame which can be carried out either in the private sector or in government organizations. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the students experience in industrial training programs in some selected polytechnics in Osun state, Nigeria. Two sets of questionnaires were used for this study which are the student's perspective and the lecturers. A total population size of 450 questionnaires was issued and 210 were returned. The data were analyzed using a statistical package for prediction. The probability sampling method was used as the method of the research It was observed from the view of the lecturers that industrial training improved the student's skills in formal and informal communication, help to find a research area for their projects, and ability to socialize, and sustain a relationship. In the view of the students, we observed that industrial training improved the students' confidence in tackling problems and provides the needs for continuous learning. Also, we observed that safety was the major challenge students faced during their internship. Finally, In terms of Lecturer Department placements students from estate management has the highest percentage of 30% of participant with 3 respondents, in terms of Course placements estate management has the highest course of the student of 25% with 50 respondents, in terms of Industrial Training (IT) placements, Ministry has the highest place of IT percentage which is 38.0% of participant (76 respondents), and in terms of Gender placements men has the highest place of Gender percentage which is 65% of participant (130 respondents). Future work should focus on other sectors including institution, colleges, and more.
