In an essay, discuss AT LEAST THREE specific examples from California History since 1900 of people, groups, and/or institutions resisting growth for the purposes of protecting some aspect of life in California.
Your discussion of EACH example should answer the following in detail:
- WHO is the group / institution / people you are identifying as resisting growth?
- WHEN was this growth happening, and what was the historical context for it? (What was happening at this time that might help explain this growth?)
- WHAT was the kind of growth at issue, and WHAT were the changes it brought (or seemed to bring)?
- HOW did these people / groups / institutions respond to growth?
- Most importantly: WHY is this form of resistance to growth significant? What does it tell us about how California has changed since 1900?
