  2. Ryan Washington says:

    I feel people around the globe see L.A as a beautiful calm city they make L.A seem so perfect. They think all L.A people are nice hold each others hands and theres no problems portrayed in L.A thats what i feel the stereo types are

  3. thomas A. says:

    peoples perception of cali around the word is that its dangerous out here and that everybody raps and smoke weed all day and party .

  4. Maj says:

    The perception of Los Angeles is for the most part positive in nature. La usually brings thoughts of warm weather, clear skies and palm trees, although there are a few major negative thoughts about the populace of La which is the involvement of people in gangs and drug activity in the more urban areas of Los Angeles.

  5. kaelyn Weaver says:

    people think La is the best place to be with the most classyest people and also ghetto with a style that no other city has and also we are famous for some dance moves that people wanna see on youtube and people stereotype on that LA is bad and they are too ghetto

  6. julio recinos says:

    I think there perception is something like alot of other, its dangerous; i wouldnt got there; its dirty; etc etc. And the things people put on the media and tv make people really not want to come to the west coast period because of the danger. Some look at it like they want to come here because of the good wheather and the fun they hear.

  7. gabon morris says:

    the world think that la is the city of celebrities. they think that everybody is the same and it is all violence

  8. Devin Gibson says:

    I think L.A. is comparable to New York in media presence, it’s one of the biggest spots for artists and the like. I don’t really watch T.V. or movies or stuff like that, so I can’t comment on L.A. as a media presence. Using what I’ve heard, L.A. is presented as a pretty bad place with little reedeming qualities.

  9. Dajahnae says:

    DAJAHNAE:
    Well in Hollywood they have good glamorous things out in Hollywood. L.A. they say that we are DANGEROUS and also they said that we pay a lot of money for Apartments, Duplex, and Houses. So that’s my comment i guess…..

  10. erica linton says:

    i think that most people beileve its a good p[lace but others differ because of all the violence nd the stereotype is basicly that la iz a very bad place because of all the crimes and gangs

  11. Darron West says:

    people from other states think that all we do is fight, play basketball, and smoke all day.

  12. Janice says:

    I think many people who come to Los Angeles have a negative perception of it. Even though many people come to Los Angeles with the thought that it is a warm place to be and perfect for summer vacations, based on what the media shows these people would still consider Los Angeles a dangerous place to be due to the the amopount of gang related activites.

  13. Darron West says:

    Stereotype is basicly that la iz a very bad place because of all the crimes and gangs.
    And people from other states think that all we do is fight, play basketball and smoke all day. And people in L.A are laker fans.

  14. victoria willis says:

    I believe that people think that Cali is the spot to be. They think it is cool because of hollywood. One steriotype of cali is that we have many celebrites and palm trees all over.

  15. kilha williams says:

    I feel people around the globe see L.A as a beautiful calm city they make L.A seem so perfect. They think all L.A people are nice hold each others hands and theres no problems portrayed in L.A thats what i feel the stereo types are

  16. Branden McGill(T.A.) says:

    Many people on the outside looking in see Los Angeles as the place to be. They believe it’s all palm trees and movies stars. These people are completely unaware of the true citizen of Los Angeles.I will not deny that we do have celebrities here and there are palm trees here and there but there is a lot more to Los Angeles than these things. Los Angeles is a melting pot of diversity withing cultures, races, ethnicities, etc. So, to the people who plan to come here for their vacations, the City of Los Angeles isn’t all that it seems.

  17. robert perales says:

    I THINK THAT THE PEOPLE OF l.a. ARE SCARED TO BE ON MEDIA BUT DO IT ANYWAYS FOR THE FAME. THEY HAVE ALOT OF DIFFERENT OPPINIONS ON MEDIA. I DONT REALLY KNOW WHO LIKES OR DOES NOT LIKE ALOT OF THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF MEDIA.

  18. elizabeth says:

    i belive that people around the globe think that l.a is a place to do do crazy things, party , drugs . live that lifestyle tht is always seen in the movies. and the media just helps to put emphasis on thoose things.

  19. Devin Dejurnett says:

    Many people around the country see L.A as great place because its in California, which is a place for opportunity. However the media makes L.A seem as bad as it is good. When I watch news whenever I hears news about L.A, the news usually mentions either the dangers of the area or about its positive aspects. Based on the media, I think people stereotype L.A with being a place of both opportunity and danger.

  20. Wesley Gilmore says:

    I think people around the globe think people in L.A are high all the time. They think we are spoiled and everybody goes to the beach everyday. They also think about movie stars.

  21. tyrone hooks says:

    la is a place that people will think is very dangerous or very fun and interesting. many people come to la to see our famous landmarks and to just experience the hype thats carried behind it. others think la is a very bad, they think its filled with gang bangers and people who want nothingf in life.

  22. anthionybennett says:

    i believe people that dont live in l,a see l.a as a good place that party and do whatever we want on the media

  23. essence williams says:

    i personally think that many people on the outside looking in see Los Angeles as the place to be. They believe it’s all palm trees and movies stars. These people are completely unaware of the true citizen of Los Angeles.I will not deny that we do have celebrities here and there are palm trees here and there but there is a lot more to Los Angeles than these things.ant that what i think

  24. Mary Ikechi says:

    Some people thinks that LA is the best. But La is dangerous and you really have to be careful because you never known the people your around with. I also think that people do things just to get attention.

  25. kyron s. says:

    I feel people around the globe see L.A as a beautiful calm city they make L.A seem so perfect. people around l.a do certain things just for attention because l.a is not what its made up to be

  26. isiah says:

    Prolly the most stereotypical view of L.A. is most likely the gang violence we have here. It seem that everyone view los angeles as a gang city , other than the marijuana we have they are scared to come visit this beautiful city that open up a lot of doors .

  27. anthonyrichardson says:

    I think that people around the globe think that people in L.A are stock up. They think that we are better than the whole world which we are. They think that we all are stars and make a lot of money

  28. karimah cleveland says:

    their are alot of stereotypes about la. people think this is one of the best places to go for job oppurtunities and other things.alot of people think la is the best. also they think that it is dirty. another stereotype is that people think that it has great weather,

  29. TylerL says:

    I think that many people think that LA is a bad place to live in. One of the reason being the La riots. Others may think that LA is a nice place to live because of all the movie business that goes on around here.

  30. Devin Lodge says:

    people think la is bad of the news. the news make la look bad.but when they come to la the like it.

  31. Kayla ATLAS says:

    i think that people think LA is the place for oppurtunity. on the outside it seems as if people in los angeles are successful. LA is not very different from many places but for some reason people make those assumptions.

  32. Tyra Watkins says:

    The TV can portray many messages. It depends on what you are watching so shows can make people think that is the place for i phones and many good stores. So may show that all we do it under age drink and smoke lots of weed.

  33. Ronelsha M. says:

    The perception peple around the globe view of Los Angeles is that they tend to believe that it is the best place in the world to visit or live. Based on what people see in the media, the stereotypes that are associated with people who live in Los Angeles is that some think it’s filled with celebrities.

  34. Uneek McCray says:

    Most people I spoke to while in the south thought people from L.A. were stuck up and not educated, everyone was rich. A few felt the only people who were rich were the white people and that the select few blacks that were rich acted like white people. While these statements are false, many people believe these statements, even some residents of Los Angeles. the media doesn’t help either, in every movie about the “the Los Angeles life” you see African Americans living in slums and fighting for their lives or being in gangs like wild animals. Now that very image is what people think when someone says their from, L.A.

  35. Alexus Ulrich says:

    well, there are many stereotypes about Los Angeles. So many of them think of LA as a great place with nice weather and cute girls. Some think that LA could be a bad place to live, for example they think its dangerous. Well because of media people have different perspectives of LA.

  36. Clifton Lejon Steward Jr. says:

    People think of LA as a dangerous place as the media puts it. But it also a place where celebrities go to make it big in life.

  37. Mila McIntyre says:

    In my opinion I believe people who have never been to Los Angeles perceive the entire city as being associated with Hollywood. I think their perception of Los Angeles’ people is that they are all stuck up and living a glamour life. That is the most sterotypical idea that many possess about LA.

  38. Aunye Scott-A. says:

    people who are not from L.A. see it as a tourist destination. they see the televised version of South central and the snooty hi rent district.people believe everyone is fashionable and hangs out with celebrities. which is far from the truth.

  39. Ashley says:

    The stereotypes that are about LA is that the weather is nice and its the perfect place to be at to get anything started. LA can be a very cautious place to reside in and people look right over that.

  40. joshua samuel says:

    i think people that never been to los angels think its a bad place. they will think its a bad place because Hollywood has too much fame. they think los Angles is too expensive and theirs a lot of violence.

  41. sidney s. says:

    In my opinion I believe people who have never been to Los Angeles perceive the entire city as being associated with Hollywood.Some think that LA could be a bad place to live, for example they think its dangerous.

  42. kingCooper says:

    In my eyes people think that LA is a break away city and try to get away and come here to make in big or to just live because LA is a bueatiful place to people that live in small cites also to go to school,but their also negative perspectatives of all the dangerous things they show as to stealing,killings,gang violence and other dangerous things that make LA a bad place

  43. Lichelle says:

    Some people think that LA is such a great place.But LA is dangerous and you really have to be careful because you never known the people your around with. The TV spreads false information sometimes that makes it seem worse then what it is

  44. Jimmia.R says:

    People love california espescially the people who haven’t been here they think its it. Awesome but california isn’t real what the stereotypes make it to be.

  45. oishipley says:

    People who dont live in L.A or haven’t visited L.A. probably have a negative look on the city. On the news or on the internet they dont have alot of good stuff most of time. Bu t they also see it as a good thing where you can just come do have fun and do whatever you please.

    BIJAN

  46. keisean b says:

    i think peoples veiw of L.A. are some what negative because of the advertizement like drugs and sex butvtheir are posotive veiws like the colledges in L.A.

  47. lauryn johnson says:

    I believe people think la is where people always go to the beach, smoke weed, and party.
