on cultural differences and exaggerate national character, and sometimes a lot of information

they contain is untrue

In a study recently carried out in Britain, people were asked to make a list of anything that they

thought was typical of Britain and would interest a foreign visitor there Most mentioned

Shakespeare, the Queen, villages inns, English folk dancing, English castles, and fish chips

wrapped in newspaper Although all of these characters can be found in British culture, they do

not show the real interests of ordinary British people: (They are, in fact, simply stereotype — that

is, general character which people wrongly think are typical.) What is surprising is that they

were suggested by British people themselves as representing their culture If people have such

experienced remarkable growth, which reflected basic changes in the economy The population

of Los Angeles (114,000 in 1900) rose spectacularly in the early decades of the twentieth

century, increasing a dramatic 1,400 percent from 1900 to 1930

A number of circumstances contributed to the meteoric rise of Los Angeles The

agricultural potential of the area was enormous if water for irrigation could be found, and the city

founders had the vision and dating to obtain it by constructing a 225-mile aqueduct, completed
