The video is about the development of Immokalee (Seminole for "My Home"). The Seminole Indians migrated there but then left when European pioneers began showing up and using the land for farming and cattle. It goes on to mention the obstacles Immokalee survived such as the tick that caused the death of a lot of the cattle, the development of the railroad, and the building of casinos. Even today, Immokalee is still a farming area.
I grew up in Miami, a city life. Everywhere I look there are more and more buildings.
I believe that Immokalee is representative of the New American Dream. Change occurs but Immokalee is able to adapt and face these changes.
Immokalee will be driven by new companies, looking to buy land in order to make more money. I believe that 10 years from now, Immokalee will be basically the same as it is now, a rural farming area.

I agree with you in Immokalee being the "New American Dream". The city where I am from Neptune Beach, FL is kind of similar to Immokalee in that it is a small community that has adapted to the "new age" but hasn't changed it's close comunity atmosphere. It is noce to know there are still smaller communities that aren't being taken over by skyscrapers and beachfront condo's, especially here in Florida.
ReplyDeleteWell said about Immokalee representing the "new" American dream and adapting to changes, I also think that. I also believe that Immokalee will be true to its origins and remain the same for the upcoming years. This land was meant to grow crops and for agriculture to sustain our lives. A lot of companies probably will come to Immokalee for farminf reasons, since most of the available land in FL is being used for utilities.
