Berkeley could do what other cities and states across America had attempted but failed to succeed in. Funding for the campaigns to pass the tax were used to a significant proportion in payment of media coverage and campaign consultants (State of California, 2014). The Berkeley vs Big Soda webpage reflects the efforts made through print and electronic types of media formats, through rallies and even venturing door to door that aimed to generate the awareness of the people in Berkeley to vote yes…

The state California is seen as a glamorous and liberal in the eyes of many Americans and many see that state as very progressive in comparison to the other states.

The state is very diverse demographically and the cities and towns can range from rural suburbia to booming metropolises. Major cities like Los Angeles and San…

South Park City Museum near Breckenridge, CO is home to a wonderful representation of the wild west. History buffs should really get a thrill out of the wild frontier town. The town was filled with people looking to strike gold back in the 1850s. The fact is that gold was struck back in 1859. This led to a rush of prospectors hitting the small town looking to stake their claim on their own gold mine. Of course, the influx of all those prospectors quickly changed the landscape and dried up the…

The amount of monetary damage from an earthquake and the loss of life, depends on the type of soil, the retrofitting of the land, and how dense the population of that city is.

The damage from this earthquake was very severe, roadways were torn apart, and houses were destroyed. The area of the most damage was built on poor…

The American West was a land of opportunity for everyone from 1865-1900. Though, the extent of the opportunity varied on your race or creed. In many cases, if you were intelligent, resourceful, and hardworking you would likely succeed in one way or another. The opportunities of recently freed blacks, the Chinese, and the American Indians were much less than that of the white man. In almost all cases, these groups of people really had no other choice and had to take any chance they could get in…

society that depicts them as less then is un-healthy. “Organizations and political parties aren’t focused enough on this segment of the population,” said Marcela Ruiz, deputy director of California Rural Legal Assistance. Perhaps educational…

It’s well noted that the current drought in California has been recorded as the driest period in the state's rainfall history. Farmers have been losing their jobs because their crops wont grow due to the lack of rainwater in California.
