What are the pros and cons of protecting Heritage Sites? To write your essay, you should choose a place and include the following: 1. where it is, when it was founded (this means reading the history behind the place) 2. Should it be protected and allow tourists to visit (think in terms of how destructive humans are and by visiting places like Maccu Picchu, we are on sacred ground and tend to destroy rather than preserve)? 3. If your chosen place should be protected - how? (Think like the Pyramids in Egypt and how to keep them from eroding) 4. If your chosen place should be allowed to deteriorate - what then? 5. How will you preserve history and tell a more accurate story (think about the places people want to visit that are leftover from colonial pursuits in India for example)?
