Today in class we watched part 1 of Guns, Germs, and Steel.
In the movie, a scientist named Jarred Diamond is interested in the study of birds. He comes to a place called Papuanewquinea, because there is a large variety of birds there but he also wants to study the people living there. He found out that they speak several languages; their people have been living in the same place for 40,000 years. They are very smart people and they learn very quickly. The question he wants to know is why their country is culturally diverse, but they are extremely poor. They believe that their power is determined by race and that white men have so much and they have so little. Jarred Diamond wants to know why the Papuanewquinea people still don’t have what other people have.
