Representation of the Seaside

Introduction

This paper intends to discuss the representations of the seaside, individual and the cultural differences that mostly dissolve into the experience of the crowd. This module has been established to provide an overview about how the people are impacted with their leisure activities. The basic essence of this paper is to explore the fact that within crowd; people tend to forget their cultural identities.
