Also, California is an international trendsetter, and cutting-edge place to be, which attracted me as international student.
For instance, as Maasik and Solomon state: California is not only the most populous state in the union; it is also the most culturally evocative. Everything that happens in America, they say, happens in California first. A special case of the American dream, California -- thanks to the efforts of the television and film industries -- is often the place where dreams begin.
And, in a nation of immigrants, California stands as America's premier immigrant state, attracting residents from all over the country and around the world. Download full paper NOW! Speaking again from an international student perspective, what is "cool" for clothes; entertainments, etc.
However, based on my own experience, and on the essays and images in the textbook, I would still have to say California myths and images differ from reality. The vision of "melting pot" develops historically from those kinds of pleasant, enticing images.
However, happy melting pot of California not as happy as one might think. Much melting away of Native Americans , for example, was done long ago, so other groups could melt better into California, so some groups now still melting themselves over others, not blending nicely with them.
Those people of immigrations often are treated unfairly in California, especially in early days. So, as our book points out, the image of the melting pot developed historically, especially of Mexican; Chinese, and other immigrations. But not all these groups were liked, or treated with equally. Rawls states, in his essay "California, a Place, a People, a Dream": "The promise of the California Dream raises the expectation of the millions who come to California, hoping that their lives here will be better than what they left behind.
Also it is draining the nation of resources. As Ling-Ling states "Almost every week, we hear about thousands of our workers losing their jobs. Because so many want to live in California, quality of life here is now worse for everyone.
This is not just fault of immigration, but so many immigrations are one key factor. Immigrations keep coming, not just to study here for a time, but to live permanently, and Californian infrastructures are no more easily supporting all immigrations, or even people who have been here a long time. So now everybody suffers.
For myself, my past images of California include glamour and wide open space, sun, friendly smile, and everyone always getting suntan and relaxing. My current image is almost the opposite: gridlock David Carle, "Sprawling Gridlock," pp, ; high prices; lack of parking place; pay parking everywhere; crowding; rushing, hurrying, pushing, etc.
I do not see hardly any relaxing and laying back going on around me, maybe on the beach or at parks, playing sports or watching sport event, party, or movie, but not relaxing every day.
Also, California stereotype is everyone here is friendly, and no one is hurrying or being rude, but this absolutely not true, and not just because of being international student.
