Outposts of Opportunity

I find it extremely important and interesting to learn about your environment and the people that are a part of it. As I watched "Outposts of Opportunity" it was very clear to me that the town of Immokalee has undergone so many changes. They started out as a town that housed mostly Seminole Indians to a town made up of pioneers and cattlemen where the sound of a train's whistle is anything but unfamiliar. The town of Immokalee is very different from where I am from. Orlando may very well be the complete opposite of Immokalee in the sense that it's all about technology, attractions, and nightlife. I have never seen any open land in Orlando much less farms. I believe Immokalee is representative of the farmer's American dream. They can have their land and raise cattle, horses etc and not have to sit in an office to feel successful. The future of Immokalee will unfortunately be driven by power hungry politicians such as Governor Brown who wanted to drain out the Everglades. I hope that Immokalee will retain it's vivid culture and not be forced to change.
