Now let's focus on PLACES: a country, state, city, town etc. Even places have earned reputations from either their own actions (passing laws, protests, etc.) or as a consequence of events happening there (natural or man made).

You must generate an original post that includes the following two points:

1. Choose a PLACE and discuss its reputation/image. In your opinion, how did it get that reputation?
2. Has that reputation been positiive or negative for the PLACE? Has the PLACE benefited from the reputation?

Take Las Vegas for example. The slogan and ads we see on TV "What goes on in Vegas, stays in Vegas" really exemplifies the reputation it has earned for being a place one can go to do wild and crazy things and nobody cares.
