I was born in New Orleans Louisiana 1996, where I’ve spent my whole life. Although my family was moved here by a pull factor long before I came along. The pull factor was a job for my grandfather at the United Fruit Factory which was located in the city of New Orleans, which he then moved and established his family. It all started in part of Orleans Parish known as the “Lower Ninth Ward” where my great great grandmother and grandfather bought their first Shotgun home together on Claiborne St. It then was passed down through generations eventually becoming my grandmothers. I attended Martin Luther King Jr. School there in the Lower Ninth Ward. That part of city basically was on own little city inside of one, it multiple schools, grocery stores, doctor offices etc., basically all of human being necessities in order to survive and live comfortably. It wasn’t till the year of 2005 when everything drastically changed for me.

Cultural diffusion can be defined as a process by which one culture barrows or adopts material culture or ideas from another culture. This process occurs when one culture comes into some form of contact with another culture.

La Paz Brief history Founded in 1548 by Spanish conquistadores looking for gold, *La Paz* swiftly became a thriving economic centre with merchants from all over heading here to trade in coca, tin, silver and gold, and facilitating routes from coast to Andes and onward to [Buenos Aires]. Within a century, the city was inhabited by a few hundred Spaniards and quite a few thousand indigenous Bolivians, each fraction taking up opposite shores of the Choqueyapu River.
