There is also the revelation by Swift that a self-love mechanism can be resorted from self loathing.
Examples of pride that Swift satirizes
Metaphors are used in the voyages to bring out the specific aspects of swift's satire. The human affair is stripped of their grandeur through the scale of life reduction in Lilliput. Ranks, international war and politics lose their importance. Human pride is also satirized when Gulliver in the second voyager is a Lilliputian. The grossness of human habits and forms are highlighted by the relative size of Brobdingnagians who illustrate some positive attributes in comparison to the Lilliputians who depict human pretension and pride pettiness. Swift also satirizes the Houyhnhnms perfect reason representation that is unimpeded by excessive emotions or irrationality. Humans defect are highlighted by the domestic animal absurdity of displaying more characteristics of humanity than the humans themselves. This is shown in the Yahoo whose higher reason have been stripped even though...
It is not only shocking but revelatory to the reader and Gulliver who from a vantage point remote of a man are forced to evaluate this behavior. There is sharp satire of the pride in human nature superior to the bestial nature. The ideal human nature is not Houyhnhnms either. They are used by swift to depict how reason without love, empathy and compassion is not an adequate enough method to address the many aspects of the human situation.
There is also the satire of the prideful aggrandizement of the Houyhnhnms when they don't use their knowledge for the benefit of the entire society. When the Houyhnhnms visits the French Royal Society in Lilliput, we see that the indication of Houyhnhnms need not to be taken seriously at the room where the scientist who has been doing so for many years, is trying to turn water into wine. The Houyhnhnms knows what to do and even though the scientist's goal has been accomplished, he is left unhappy because the Houyhnhnms has destroyed his livelihood.
Bangkok, the capital of the country, can present the visitor with an out of body experience, with a focus on religion, history and a larger-than-life temple. In contrast with Thailand, Brazil is just a few hours' flight away, and in the same time zone as the East Coast of the U.S. In Brazil, one could visit any of the three large cities: Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paolo or Brasilia, the
The Stellenbosch Wine Route covers the area around that city; the Constantia wine route is the oldest in Africa and the Durbanville wine route is an up-and-coming tour with unique cellars, horse racing and ample opportunities for high-adventure outdoor recreation (South Africa Guide, 2010).

Yet, there is still tremendous opportunity for many procurement organizations of travel industry operators to improve their performance as a significant gap exists between the Best in Class companies and the rest of the field. Best in Class enterprises understand that technology is a process-enabler, not a process in and of itself; successful organizations have efficient, proven processes in place before introducing a new technology. This translates into patience in
Travel and Tourism U.S. China Compare and Contrast USA & China -- Implications of Political Change Statistics indicate that now more than ever tourism is booming among the Chinese, with Chinese tourists numbering just under 41 billion in 2007, a number that was up 18.6% from the previous year (Xola, 2008, p.2).
