(1) - Concepts for the Japantown Community Plan, November 2000 Immigration has historically been from country of origin to a well established familiar community. For example, Japantown in San Franscisco, was created by immigrants from Japan. The migration happened around 1869.

They then moved on droves becoming know “This first generation – Issei, flocked to the area and. Cultural identity remained intact. This is because the surrounded themselves by the same culturally inspired community base. The people flourished because they were still either connected to people of like mind and they had similar goals in which they worked toward. Until 1906 it had the largest Japanese population of any mainland American city. This only changed because of the San Japantown, is still a strong community;...

...documentary film Summer of Love is about the year of 1967 when the children from the baby boom generation had grown up and were now in their college years, but instead of going to school chose instead to change the world. These young people had grown up experiencing the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, men constantly being drafted into the Vietnam War which was killing more than one hundred soldiers per week, and the civil rights struggles. There continued to be a deep anxiety about communism taking over the United States and the threat of atomic weapon. A part of that generation came to be known as “hippies,” who thought that they could bring change to the world by spreading peace and love. The Haight-Ashbury district in San Francisco, California was a small and low-income area for modern families to live, until January 14, 1967 when there was a “coming together” and the Haight-Ashbury district became the home of modern jazz, hippies, communal living, and turning to drugs as a new way of living. Music began to change, LSD and acid became a way of life, food was served free, furniture and clothes were being distributed at no cost to people, and money became the root of all evil. They thought they could make the world into what they wanted by acting it out, but the hippies were extremely unwelcomed by the long-time residents. When spring break came around people, especially kids, from all over the country were visiting Haight-Ashbury because peace and love was starting...

...Andranik Hakobyan Prof. Boss Mgmt 308 17 April 2014 Autobiographical Essay My name is Andranik Hakobyan. I was born in Armenia in June 30, 1990. I came to the United States when I was 18 years old. I attended to Glendale Community College before I transferred to California State University of Los Angeles. My major is Business Management. This is my third quarter in California State University of Los Angeles and I am junior in this year. I spent a lots of time to choose my major. First of all, I decided my major as Business Administration, but when I transferred to California State University of Los Angeles and I knew that I could choose different options of Business Administration in this university, that’s why I chose the management because it’s too hard for me to make a great decision for major. I thought that this major might be so difficult for students, but when I took Management 306 in last quarter, I understood that this major was for me. I had career goal in the past, for example, I wanted to become soccer player when I was child. I went to soccer training in my hometown and I wanted to be a famous player as Lionel Messi, but I couldn’t approach to that goal because I came to the United States and forgot about that goal what I had in the past. Finally, I chose business as major because the business is the first place in the United States and that’s made me to choose business as major especially management. I am taking this course because it is required course for...

...A prisoner in the Southern French city of Marseille attempted to escape a penitentiary by switching places with a corpse in a burial bag and later died, as the bag was thrown into the ocean, prison management says. The incident occurred at the Chateau d’If, a high-security prison about one mile of the coast of Marseille. Prison officials claim that the prisoner, Edmond Dantés, who was, at the time, confined for conspiracy charges, entered the cell of Abbé Faria (Father Faria), an imprisoned Italian Priest who was dead of unknown causes, Sunday evening or early Monday morning via a tunnel dug under and between their two cells. Dantés proceeded to slit a hole in the burial bag in which Faria was contained, remove the corpse, take it back to...

...Alcatraz is Not an Island, describes the occupation that made Alcatraz a symbol for Indigenous people as motivation to stand up against the cruelty that they have experienced since the arrival of the Europeans. Hence the name of the film, Alcatraz can be seen as an inspiration for Indigenous people rather than an island. The first attempt to occupy Alcatraz took place in 1964 when a group of four Native Americans landed on the island and claimed it for four hours before the coast guard removed them. This became the inspiration for a group of San Francisco State students to attempt an occupation of their own in 1969. When attempting to make it to the island, only one boat agreed to assist the Native American's in their occupation. They were not able to dock on the island, but, Richard Oaks became the leader of the group when he jumped off the boat and swam to the island. After this brief occupation Richard Oaks returned to San Francisco and began to recruit people to join the movement. Oaks went to UCLA where eighty students agreed to join the movement. On November 20, 1969 a group of one-hundred Native Americans set sail from Sausalito and landed on Alcatraz Island, beginning the occupation that would last for nineteen more months. The goal of the occupiers was for the United States Government to allow the Indigenous people to create a culture center, museum, and a Native American University on the island. The United States government repeatedly refused to negotiate, however...

...It was billed as “the Summer of Love,” a blast of glamour, ecstasy, and Utopianism that drew some 75,000 young people to the San Francisco streets in 1967. Who were the true movers behind the Haight-Ashbury happening that turned America on to a whole new age? In a 25-square-block area of San Francisco, in the summer of 1967, an ecstatic, Dionysian mini-world sprang up like a mushroom, dividing American culture into a Before and After unparalleled since World War II. If you were between 15 and 30 that year, it was almost impossible to resist the lure of that transcendent, peer-driven season of glamour, ecstasy, and Utopianism. It was billed as the Summer of Love, and its creators did not employ a single publicist or craft a media plan. Yet the phenomenon washed over America like a tidal wave, erasing the last dregs of the martini-sipping Mad Men era and ushering in a series of liberations and awakenings that irreversibly changed our way of life. The Summer of Love also thrust a new kind of music—acid rock—across the airwaves, nearly put barbers out of business, traded clothes for costumes, turned psychedelic drugs into sacred door keys, and revived the outdoor gatherings of the Messianic Age, making everyone an acolyte anda priest. It turned sex with strangers into a mode of generosity, made “uptight” an epithet on a par with “racist,” refashioned the notion of earnest Peace Corps idealism into a bacchanalian rhapsody, and set that favorite American adjective, “free,” on a...

...Freddie Johnson John Clark English 201C 13 May 2015 Man-Made Water Crisis Over the past several years the state of California has been suffering from a drought that has left behind many farmers in the dust with their fallowed crops. The Central Valley, located in the heart of California, is home to a vast variety of crops that feed the world. The valley has taken the blunt of the hit caused by the recent drought as many farmers have received zero allocations of their contracted water along with many water wells drying up. The lack of water not only has an affect on farmers but anyone else that enjoys the succulent foods that articulate from California’s farms. As the lack of rainfall has had an influence on the current shortage of water, it is not the only factor contributing to it. “In 2009, the department of Fish and Wildlife ordered restrictions on the water run-off, which began the now six-year-old policy of sending billions of gallons of fresh water annually into the Pacific Ocean” (Hill). With California’s extensive need for water, legislation needs to transpire in order to use what precipitation we do receive to be allocated effectively and efficiently. California has been known for many substantial reasons, ranging from the Gold Rush of 1849 to its beautiful coast line that attracts many tourists. One important piece that always seems to be overlooked is the agricultural industry that thrives in the Central Valley. California produces much of the nations...

...There were many participating factors that led up to the California Gold Rush. One was…well the discovery of gold on January 24, 1848. After John Sutter discovered the gold, he asked his workers to keep the gold discovery a secret but it wasn’t too long since word got out. Once it did, more and more people came to California for a chance to strike it rich. Many even left their old lives behind for this once in a lifetime opportunity. The California Gold rush was an important event in history because it impacted our nation. We gained a large amount of population than anticipated in the state of California. In fact, it was the largest mass migration in U.S history. Additionally, in 1848 we had about 157,000 people and by 1853 there were...

...California is known for its earthquakes. There are approximately 10,000 earthquakes in California every year. Most of them are so small that they are not felt. Only a few hindered are big enough to cause a scare. These earthquakes are a normal occurrence for Californians. In 2016 and 2017 California suffered a crazy drought, which ultimately leads to a massive amount of large Wildfires. In the Year of 2017, there were a total of 9,133 fires burned in California alone. This caused many short and long-term problems for California and surrounding states. Though legendary for the threat of earthquakes, the 2027 Wildfires were the worst thing to happen to California in the 21st century. The wildfires destroyed a lot of land and buildings during its blaze of horror. Many people had to evacuate their businesses and homes to get away from the fire or smoke. A total of 9,133 fires burned in the state of California. They burned around 1.4 million acres and more than 1,300 structures. The fires created so much destruction that around 230,000 people had to evacuate their homes. "We didn't have a chance to react. It was here and we got out with the clothes on our back. All of our memories, everything is gone," Martha Grimm said. With all of these people evacuating, the traffic was the worst it has been in decades. California’s traffic is bad to start with but this disaster in California made the traffic 10x worse. Parts of the 405 freeway, which carries up to 400,000 vehicles a day, were...

...“It’s going to be interesting what they find there” said dan bryers. In the early days on january of 1848 until 1855 many people were flooding the state California in hopes to strike it rich at one of the many mines and rivers that were filled with gold. Men and women of all ages and races traveled hundreds to thousands of miles to get to the city of gold. The gold was first discovered by james w marshall at Sutter's mill in Coloma, California. Unfortunately for John Shutter he didn’t end up striking it rich Marshall's discovery lead to the largest mass migration of people in the US. United States citizens weren't the only people to migrate west, thousands of people from around the world fled to find the gold. More than less men and women would spend more money on the tools than they would make in profit from the gold and often time went into debt shortly after. In the case of many people the merchants actually made more money than the pickers in search for gold and riches. Gold was discovered in Sacramento Valley in early 1848 sparking the Gold Rush and lead to a massive migration of people West. From one perspective to the other the women had always more to say. Many women had to follow their husbands that were in hopes of finding gold in the vast rivers and valleys of California. There were only two ways of traveling to the goldrush hotspot, by land or sea. The women and their families would take a boat if traveling from another country. Womans from the United States would...
