Regina: The Start

Despriction
A field located in southeast Regina.
Sociological Interpretation
When Regina started there was nothing, no lake to get water from and no trees to get wood from. There was no large body water around Regina which did not make sense, why not make a city on a large body of water, instead of making a large body of water in a city. Regina also had no natural trees, all the trees in Regina are human planted. Regina was just flat land and was actually known as " Pile of Bones".


Regina would not of been possible if it were not for the people who live here. Our society has over come the odds, that when Regina was first being built it would not last, there was no large water source close by therefore, it will never be well populated. Society had different plans in Regina though the people planted trees and built a large body of water and kept building from there. Regina now is continuing to grow and the population is on the rise and it's all becasue of the people who live here and enjoy living here so they do not leave. Logically Regina should not exist, there is no reason for a city to be located where Regina is located.


This goes to show that if people are living somewhere, where they enjoy living and continue to live there, that other people will hear about it and come and live there as well. Even if it was nonlogical to move to a city like Regina they still did it because they beielved it was better than where they previously lived. Regina now has over 200,000 people, plenty of trees and vegation and also has the man made Wascana Lake. If the society that had started here would of given up when they were told of the reasons not to build a city here, then where would we be now?

  1. Your headings are not in BOLD types.
    Is this your central argument? “Even if it was non-logical to move to a city like Regina they still did it because they believed it was better than where they previously lived.”
    Why do you think it is a sociological argument? How does this argument relate to sociology?
    Interesting though, I did not know that they actually BUILT a large body of water!!
    Thanks,
