Paper Abstract:
Examines the major economic policies of the city. Effects on the local economy. Overview of Santa Monica. Concerns in the city regarding too much development and growth. Rent control issue and goals of affordable housing and demographic diversity. Minimum wage and economic impact. ATM fees & city's ban on surcharges.

Paper Introduction:
Introduction Local governments have the delicate task of balancing growth against quality of life, and of maintaining a sound economic base which can support the infrastructure (schools, public services) necessary for day-to-day activities. Some cities actively court new business and pass regulations which favor commerce. Property tax incentives for new businesses, enterprise zones and lowcost fee structures can all be ways in which communities seek to attract commerce which will contribute to economic growth. Some communities, however, seek to minimize growth. These communities may favor remaining largely residential and seek to attract the smallest amount of commerce necessary to support the residential "flavor" of the area. High-technology companies, which offer highpaying jobs and little pollution, can be particularly attractive to these communi

Paper Abstract:
Considers whether Californians are better off than the rest of the natioin. Discusses several factors to determine answer. Crime in California. Air pollution problem. Marriage and divorce rates. Health outlook including birth rate. Unemployment rate. Creation of new jobs. Poverty rates and high income leval. Inflation. Housing costs. 1 Table.

Paper Introduction:
The average American is interested in the state of the national economy, crime and pollution in that these are regularly reported in the news and may even provide a barometer for the nation’s performance. But the average American is far more interested in local issues since those are the statistics that have a real-world impact on his or her life. This research examines ten such issues and considers whether Californians are better off than the rest of the country as a whole. The National Economy One of the most common statistics used to measure the economy is the real gross domestic product (real GDP). The following chart illustrates that the national real GDP has been increasing over the past six quarters, which means that the American economy is producing more goods and services in each succe

Paper Abstract:

Examines appropriateness of the military response in Los Angeles, California; its implementation, shortcomings, effective results. Socio-economic issues involved. Loss of control by LAPD.

Paper Introduction:
MILITARY ASSISTANCE & CIVIL DISTURBANCES: LOS ANGELES RIOTS CASE A. Identification of the Appropriate Military Response to Civil Disturbances Based on Doctrine and Which Organization Should Accomplish This Response. United States armed forces have traditionally been available to provide military assistance to civilian authorities (MACDIS or MACA) in restoring law and order in domestic civil disturbances. However, under Department of Defense (DOD) Directive Number 3025.12, 4 Feb 1994 (1994 Directive) and its 1991 predecessor, the armed forces renders MACDIS only as a last resort where its "use . . . is necessary to prevent the loss of life or wanton destruction of property, or to restore governmental functioning and public order" and when "duly constituted local authorities are unable to control the situation" (sec. 4.2.2.1). Sec. 4.1.3 provides that "the primary

Paper Abstract:
Discusses causes of the 2001 crisis. Contends that demand greater than supply was not the primary cause. Discusses several factors contributing to the mismatch between electricity supply and demand in California. These include large increase in population, increased use of computers, deregulation, market abuses and lack of State planning.

Paper Introduction:
ETIOLOGY OF THE CALIFORNIA ENERGY CRISIS: CAUSES The mismatch between electricity supply and demand in California in 2001, wherein demand is outstripping the supply, is not the cause of the state’s energy crisis. Rather, this mismatch is the energy crisis confronting California. The causes of the energy crisis, on the other hand, are those factors that contributed to the development of the mismatch between electricity supply and demand that became painfully apparent early in 2001. Several factors contributed (and continue to contribute) to the mismatch between electricity supply and demand in California. A problem exists, however, with respect to defining one of these factors as the primary cause and relegating others to the status of secondary causes. As an example, one can cite the 13.

Paper Introduction:
THE CALIFORNIA WINE INDUSTRY External Variables The wine industry, world-wide depends on five major factors: weather, grape quality, amount of harvest, price, and demand. In each of these categories, the California wine industry has managed to grow and prosper over the past decade. What may not have been generally known is that The United States is arguably the best place to grow grapes in the world…Few other countries boast such a large market base and compete against one another simultaneously for an expensive, non-durable consumer market (Eyler, 1999, p. 2). At one time, the only wines considered “drinkable” by wine connoisseurs were from France, with an occasional Italian or Portuguese vineyar

Paper Introduction:
SAN DIEGO’S INDUSTRIAL CLIMATE: RIDING THE TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION The last decade has been one of immense change. The face of industry has shifted yet again, this time in effort to accommodate a world that is digitizing, globalizing and of course, shrinking. The San Diego area in particular is in the midst of a sustained economic boom. Due largely- but not wholly- to the prosperity of the United States at large, San Diego has made the most of the technological revolution and has established itself as a haven for start-up tech firms and rapid development. Of course, the tried-and-true local industries that have long sustained San Diego do continue to create revenue in the region. Tourism, always a factor in San Diego, persists as an agent for the creat

Paper Introduction:
WHAT IS GOING ON POLITICALLY IN CALIFORNIA? 1. Major social problems in California California is experiencing a greater growth that it ever has, as compared to 1995 when it was the fastest-shrinking area in the nation. “Fueled by immigration, young migrants from other states, and new jobs in a reinvented regional economy, [Los Angeles County) has roared back to become the fastest-growing US county” (Wood, 2000, 2). The same situation holds true throughout most of the state. With this growth, however, comes a new host of social problems all connected with growth. The main social problems (based on the number of initiatives on the recent ballot include) * Education (23 initiatives ranging from school const

Paper Abstract:
Examines old & new architecture of city, impact of tourism. Examples of styles & major buildings.

Paper Introduction:
San Francisco is a city for tourists. While it is also one of the best cities in which to live, tourism is such a major factor in the city's economy that it is impossible to conceive of it in any other way. It is, therefore, a city that needs to be looked at--and one that rewards looking. Despite having been almost completely destroyed by the earthquake and fire of 1906 San Francisco also features a large number of examples of architecture from another era. In part this is due to a number of pre-fire survivals and, more frequently, results from the fact that the fire preceded the rise of modernist taste in architecture. Although the destruction of much of the city's fine architecture has also taken place since the 1950s, in the name of progress, this is probably a serious miscalculation. While it is nearly always an aesthetic mistake, it could also, in

Paper Abstract:
The nation began recovering from the recession, but California's economy seemed to respond less quickly. There are two likely reasons for this: California's economy is the largest in the nation; & the decline in aerospace spending.

Paper Introduction:
The relationship between the economy of the nation as a whole and the economy of any given state is not always clear. The U.S. economy has recently been recuperating from a period of decline and turmoil; there is much concern over whether the recovery is to be long-lasting and whether it is taking place too rapidly or rapidly enough. California is the largest economy within the United States, and indeed the California economy rivals that of many nations of the world. The decline in government spending for the aerospace industry in particular has profoundly affected the economy of California, and the recovery that is taking place elsewhere in the nation seems to be sluggish in California. How will the anticipated economic growth on the national level affect California? Sivy (1994) believes that California will benefit from the impro

Paper Abstract:
Essential question: is the Metro Rail / Blue Line system worth what it is costing? Will the returns be sufficient to justify the expense and defray the costs?

Paper Introduction:
INTRODUCTION The Metro Rail/Blue Line is beginning operation in Los Angeles County after many years of planning, argument, analysis, and concern as well as growing public expectation. Now that the system is in operation, the public may be forgiven for wondering if it will prove to be a fiscal disaster. This was always held out by opponents as a possibility based on the idea that the system was costing too much and would not provide the service needed, or at least a level of service that would justify the costs. Another concern is now clear--the system may prove to be a fiscal drain because of lawsuits and related action for the many accidents that may take place on the system. The subway portion of the system has been the most costly, the most problem-plagued, and the most disruptive to businesses and residents of

Paper Abstract:
Examines the image of California as portrayed in films such as GRAPES OF WRATH, LA STORY, & BOYZ N THE HOOD, which seem to present California as either a paradise or a dystopic nightmare.

Paper Introduction:
The image of California as a paradise is rightly questioned by Julian Marais. California seems to many outsiders to be a paradise in terms of personal freedom, labor opportunities, and climate. This is an image of California often found in films which present a constantly warm and sunny climate, and beaches populated by healthy, carefree young people. However, there are movies which present a darker and more realistic side of California, which portray problems from crime and social unrest to natural disasters. Those who believe in the paradise-like image of California flock to the state seeking the "absence of limitation" they see on behavior and opportunity, and the supposed "lack of difficulty" inherent in California living. Yet clearly Californians face many of the same problems found in other parts of th

Paper Introduction:
This research will examine the office of the governor of California. The constitutional basis for the state’s executive branch will be explored and the evolution of the role of the office will be charted. The recent campaign for governor in the November 1998 elections will also be analyzed, including brief biographies and position statements of the two major party candidates, Gray Davis and Dan Lungren. Office of the Governor The American Revolution left a strong distrust among most Americans of the executive branch of government. The federal and state constitutions tended to vest primary policymaking authority with the legislative branch of government, subject to a variety of checks and balances, including the countervailing authorities of the executive and judicial branches.

Paper Abstract:
Examines tragedy & its press coverage, including impact on three newspapers themselves.

Paper Introduction:
This paper is an examination of the press coverage of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire, a devastating natural disaster that remains vivid in the public memory in part because of the destruction it caused and in part because of the detailed journalistic record that kept the public informed of the unfolding events. The earthquake occurred just as American journalism was coming into its own as a serious institution, and, while press coverage of the time still used some of the sensationalistic language and irresponsible tactics that had been the accepted way of reporting the news, the majority of the coverage was relatively accurate. Examining the ways in which the press covered this terrifying milestone in history provides a fascinating glimpse into the nature and purpose of modern journalism.

Paper Abstract:
History & architectural analysis, site evaluation, preservation, downtown renewal projects, regulations, focusing on rebuilding after 1986 fires.

Paper Introduction:
The Los Angeles Central Library consists of a nearly-destroyed building that was elaborately rehabilitated and its expansive addition. The choice to rehabilitate was made on the grounds that it was an historic building worthy of preservation. The building was held to have symbolic importance, to make a vital aesthetic contribution, and to provide badly needed public space to the heavily developed downtown area. The facility was expanded with an eight-story wing that houses the great majority of the library's public functions. The attempt to replicate most practical and decorative features of the public spaces in the old building has produced a very large landmark that also serves a valuable public function. The Los Angeles Public Library system's Central Library building is located in downtown Los Angeles on a large two-block

The issue of deregulation of the electric power industry is gaining considerable attention through the federal and state governments. California is leading the way with restructuring public utilities, followed by a handful of other states. This research examines the growing movement of restructuring the electric power industry and the economics of electricity restructuring, especially as it relates to the California experience. National Movement Federal and state governments are actively considering regulatory reforms to restructure the electricity industry-an industry with total assets worth about $500 billion and net revenues of over $200 billion annually.

Paper Abstract:
Compares novel's & autobiography's portrayals of immigrants' experiences in CA, focusing on cultural & generational continuity.

Paper Introduction:
This study will provide a comparative analysis of two books about immigrants' experience in California. Amy Tan's novel, The Joy Luck Club, portrays two generations of Chinese-American women, and Ernesto Galarza's autobiography, Barrio Boy, examines the experiences of Mexican immigrants, especially those of the author as a young male who settled with his family in the barrio of Sacramento. The essence of both works is the authors' intention to honor immigrants' lives, both fictional and factual, and to have the reader appreciate their humanity, heritage, courage and culture. If there is one theme in both works it is the theme of cultural, generational and familial continuity and endurance in the face of clashing cultures and the forces of assimilation. Tan wants the reader to understand the profound and intimate connections between the two generations of mothers and

Paper Abstract:
Historical & religious significance of CA. mission built in 1782 in context of regional & state development.

Paper Introduction:
Missions played a critical role in the early history of California. They served as vehicles for introducing Christianity to the Indians in the region. This research focuses on one of the missions. San Buenaventura Mission is cited as the Mother Church of Christianity in Ventura County. The region where the mission is found was described by Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo in 1542 as "a beautiful valley in which there is much maize and food, with high sierras and rugged land surrounding the valley" (Weber xi). The Mission and its environs were given county status in 1872 as an autonomous district of 1,878 square miles (Weber xi). The Mission is one of the numerous missions making up an important religious system in the California region during the eighteenth century and beyond as the area came under Spanish conquest, Spanish rule, and eventually

Paper Abstract:
Mission system as failed effort to colonize state, convert Native Amer., control land & labor through religion, politics & economics.

Paper Introduction:
The California mission system was an attempt to create an infrastructure for a society that never arrived. But the system did perform an important role in California's participation in "a major expansion of the capitalist world economy" during the 65 years of the missions' existence. From 1769 to 1834, when the missions were operational, the world-market involvement of the area grew extensively until, by the time of the secularization of the mission properties around 1834, California was an important "peripheral area within the economic world-system." The missions established food-production centers near the best ports. In 1786 the first capital ventures, the export of sea otter pelts, began under private license from the Spanish crown. Quite rapidly the area developed, under the mission system, the initial stages of participation in the world economy;

Paper Abstract:
Causes, examples, geologic process, types, materials, climate, vegetation, liability, remedies.

Paper Introduction:
Mass Wasting in Southern California More mass movement occurs in southern California than in any other region of the United States. Multiple factors contribute to this slope instability. Some of these include the area's steep hillsides, weak bedrock materials, adverse geologic structures, and heavy episodic precipitation. Recent landslides in Pacific Palisades, Palos Verdes, San Clemente, and Anaheim Hills have caused millions of dollars in damage. Moreover, as development continues to expand, southern California's landslide problem is only expected to worsen. Mass earth movements are highly variable. Typically, they occur within the following spectrum: e.g., from movements which are dependent upon some fluid, to those which are not. In subaerial environments, this spectrum comprises falls, slides,

Paper Abstract:
Increases accountabilty of police brass & increases civilian authority over police department while limiting police chief to two five-year terms.

Paper Introduction:
Charter Amendment F, also known as Proposition F, was an important issue in the June 1992 primary elections. The proposition was concerned with reforming the Los Angeles Police Department. The city's need for police reform became an issue following the March 1991 beating of Rodney King. The issue became more heated in the wake of the 1992 riots. It was further inflamed by the numerous accusations among city officials and members of the public that Police Chief Daryl Gates was failing to do his job. The purpose of Proposition F was to revise the City Charter which had not been changed since the 1930's. According to that charter, the city's Chief of Police was free from the political control of the Mayor and City Council. He was given a lifetime term and was prevented from removal unless "found guilty of misconduct" (Sahagun & Simon B8). The idea

Paper Abstract:
How & why it became a city. Gay & senior activists, rent control, growth, influences.

Paper Introduction:
West Hollywood: Finally Finding the Right Fit Background The driving forces behind West Hollywood's incorporation in 1984 have a lot to do with the changing face of West Hollywood during the decade prior. This little 1.9 mile square island runs along the Santa Monica Boulevard and includes parts of the Sunset Strip, and down to Beverly Boulevard in the south. As the gay movement in the United States gathered momentum, gay men and women found refuge in West Hollywood's bohemian attitudes. By the early 1980s, West Hollywood boasted one of the largest percentages of single men over 14, nearly 40% of its 17,000 men. In general, the small community experienced dramatic growth of 18 percent from 30,000 to 36,000 from 1970 to 1980. Santa Monica

Paper Abstract:
History & development. Discovery of gold, industry, planning, leadership landmarks, transportation, earthquake, bridges, neighborhoods.

Paper Introduction:
San Francisco, considered the "jewel by the bay," and the "gateway to the Orient," has had a colorful and often times tragic history. Until 1848, however, it was just a sleepy outpost on the West Coast, home to an eclectic group of people. Then came the word that gold had been found in the foothills surrounding the Sacramento River known eventually as the Mother Lode and life would forever change. The purpose of this paper is to research and discuss the development of San Francisco after the gold rush. Included in this review will be an indepth look at the environmental, economic and cultural factors that have gone into the layout, structure and design of the city through the years. Located on the tip of the peninsula that juts out into the Pacific Ocean, creating the San Francisco Bay, the city today is

Paper Abstract:
Anthropological analysis. Culture, ethnicity, geography, transportation, weather, views of Ruth Benedict & Ralph Linton.

Paper Introduction:
Los Angeles, the second largest metropolitan area in the country after New York City, is described by many, as an "unassimilated" city. It has become a confluence point for racial and ethnic groups as well as the demands of nature and the environment. The results of this meeting have been likened to great tectonic plates grinding together with the potential being a great explosion (Taliaferro, 1991, p. 32). The purpose of this paper will be to review how anthropology and its study of man's culture and its relationship to nature would describe the significance of Los Angeles, particularly in light with what is happening today. In addition, two anthropologists, Ruth Fulton Benedict and Ralph Linton, will be introduced and their anthropological ideas discussed in relation to the City of the Angeles.
