http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacramento


Contains an explanation regarding how this component (any aspect of it; eg content of videos, content of websites) connects to your study of humanities. .25 point
This relates to my study of humanities because in both of these inland areas there are many many people who live and reside there. Also these two inland areas are important for the states agriculture production. A lot of people consume the products made from these two inland areas. They also have diverse demographics which is very much related to humanities.

Contains the following elements that will be used in upcoming projects for analytical purposes:
What are some assumptions/stereotypes you think people have of each location: 1 point

Some assumptions about Fresno and Sacramento that to live there is way cheaper than anywhere else because it is so hot.

Another assumption is that there are a lot of avaiable jobs in both places because of the agriculture.

Another is that the crime rate is out of control in both places.

List 3 things that make each location similar: 1 point

One thing that makes each location similar is the fact that both places get very very hot. Way hotter than it gets here in Santa Rosa so when people visit there they have shock in how much hotter it is in both places.

Both places are highly agriculture based and count on it greatly.

Both places also play a very active role in the Central Valley's production.


List 3 things that make each location so different: 1 point

One difference is that Sacramento is the capital of California and Fresno is not.
Fresno is a lot farther away from Santa Rosa than Sacramento is.
Fresno is more predominately white people than Sacramento is.

I understand that a lot of people live in these two areas even though it is so hot. I want to know what they do to adapt to this almost unbearable heat.

On thing I learned from Carly Overlid is that Hermosa Beach means beautiful in Spanish and that it has cold and unclear water. I have never been to Hermosa beach and I probably never will, so it is good to find these things out from reading her blog. This is proabably the only exposure I will ever get and I didn't even know that it exsited because I browsed her sight.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles,_California
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco

Contains an explanation regarding how this component (any aspect of it; eg content of videos, content of websites) connects to your study of humanities. .25 point
This connects to my study of humanities because a lot of people are living in both SAn Francisco and Los Angeles. They both have places inside of their boundaries that are world famous and many people want to visit. Humaities connects to both of these cities because of how many people reside there. They have so much diversity there as well that when you are walking down the street you will see many different kinds and types of people. NOt only do these places have many people who live there they have many people who are tourists and just driving through both of those places.

What are some assumptions/stereotypes you think people have of each location: 1 point
Some stereotypes of San FRancisco that some people have are that all people who live in San Francisco are homo sexual. Also that San Franscisco has a lot of homeless people and drug dealers. These are not that true because San Francisco does have a lot of homeless people, but not any more than the average big city has. Also they do have homosexuals, but not every one is homosexual and there are certain parts of the city where there are aivities for heterosexual people as well.

Some stereotypes of Los Angeles that some people have are that all people from Los Angeles are rich and have a lot fo money. This is also not true because they areas where people are very poor.


List 3 things that make each location similar: 1 point
One thing they have in common is that they have huge populations.
Another thing they have in common is that they have a huge amount of tourists each year.
Another thing they have in common is that they have really exciting night lifes for the 21 and over crowd.

List 3 things that make each location so different: 1 point
One thing that is different about them is that San FRancisco has colder weather than LOs Angeles and the people who go to Los Angeles go for the hot weather and beaches so even though San Fran has water it is not warm at all.
Another thing that makes them so different is that their demographics are very different. BOth very diverse, but the majorities and the minorties of people are very different.
Another thing that makes them so different is one is located in Southern California and the other is in Northern CAlifornia, which makes the slang and music very different in these two areas.

I understand that people who have never been to either of these places have stereotypes of what each may be like, but I am wondering why everyone who lives close to San Francisco don't think that it is that big of a deal to visit when in actuality it has very great things to offer?

I learned from Rachel Court that she really enjoys the diversity of couisine that is offered here in Californai. It has opened her eyes to how internationally we are very diverse. We share this in common. I really enjoy having a variety of types of food to choose from when I am hungry, without even realizing how divers it is. I believe that this is related to the historical context because it just shows how everyone who has migrated here from other places how they have kept their culture alive.
