These cities relate to our study of humanities in many ways. One way is both of these cities are very different and have many diverse things about them. They are unique and hold many different cultures that leave them a like as well. In both of these cities people express themselves through clothing,culture, music or dance that relates to studying humanities. These two large cities are filled with much religious culture, that I find interesting.


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


I think that Los Angeles has the stereotype of being stuck up and rude. Many people think Los Angeles and they think Hollywood. Where all the rich and famous people live, where all the women are beautiful with big boobs and blonde hair. Many people stereotype San Fransisco as being liberal and free. Where a lot is populated by gays and high class business men. Either way stereotypes of California tend to lead to "Liberal tree hugger", more toward San Fransisco then Los Angeles.
List 3 things that make each location similar: 1 point


Three things that make each location similar is diversity, the two are very large cities and they both have a large population on wealthy class people.


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


Three things that make them different are the weather, the size of each city, and the population.


Questioning: What else would you like to know about these places? When completing the question section, lead your audience into the question by stating a fact you do know, yet you still have the related question. This way, both your audience and you will have an educational experience. .5 point


I know that San Fransisco's and Los Angeles are two cities filled with great diverse culture. They are both very popular and people travel all around the world to visit each city but what I would like to know is which one is visited the most. Where do people prefer to go to San Fransisco or Los Angeles? And why?


5. Using your classmates work from last week, tell us one thing you learned from 1 student. Is this one thing some common experience you share or some experience that is completely different than what you experienced? Is this one thing related to our class theoretical foundation and if so, how? Is that one thing related to historical or cultural context of this country or a different one? Link that persons blog to this entry (eg cut paste that blog entry here) . .5 point


I read Christina's Ambrosini blog from last week. She research Santa Cruz, Beach boardwalk. I really enjoyed her blog and learn that the boardwalk is 100 years old. She hopes to visit it in the near future because the last time she visited it she was only two.
