Los Angeles is a great city in California. This state has a lot to offer since it is one of the largest state in the United States. The freeway 5 goes all the way South and North of California which is great if one is off to take a family road trip.

Chapter 14 The Southwest Border Area: Tricultural Development

In Chapter 14 the author discusses the culture region on the Southwest Border Area in the United States. This area consist of people from different Ethnicities and cultures. This is a great area to see a great amount of diversity as there are a great amount of people also from different countries.


Los Angeles, California

In Los Angeles we see that there are a lot people from different cultures. We see a lot of people of color all around us. The community consist of a lot of people from South American and also of over seas countries. It is really nice to live in a very diverse community. I have loved living in the  Los Angeles Area for the main reason that I have learned so much not only my culture but also the different cultures from around the world.






As I have stared working in an Elementary school I have realized that the classrooms have become more and more diverse and thus many children are mixed and have two cultures rather than one these days. I have students that are Korean mixed with some Spanish blood. I have fallen in love with how much things have changed when it comes to the diversity we have today.

Chapter 13 Empty Interior

In chapter 13 the author talks about how the population density is low in this region thus they call it the "Empty Interior." This region that is called the "Empty Interior" consist of parts of New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana Oregon, Nevada, Washington and all of Arizona, Utah, and Idaho. Parts of Canada also are apart of the "Empty Interior." These area climate is really dry and becomes "increasing apparent towards the region's southern zones." Even though, the population is really low there has been movements of a growing populations. Growing cities and towns will eventually become a larger community.

Los Angeles, California

In Los Angeles we do not have "Empty Interior" however, it would be nice if we did the traffic would be more bearable. Los Angeles is congested with people and the populations seems to be growing as the years go on. Here in this link we can see how much the population as been growing through out the years.

In Chapter 11 the text books talks about the different areas of the United States where Agriculture can be found. There are a lot of agriculture all through the United States that are over seen due to the big cities that are around them.

Los Angeles, California

In city of Angeles we do not really see much of agriculture as it is manly big cities and not much nature is around us. However, in my own community a major project came and really has helped our community out. The project started back in 1998 making a community garden to grow fruits and vegetables and also get the community involved. Every year this community garden has grown and it is now filled with seasonal fruits and vegetables.


Here is also a link of the LA Times talking about the garden in Boyle Heights. 


Here are other community gardens all through Los Angeles.
