looking at our exams & GUNS, GERMS, AND STEEL

Today we saw how we got our exam grade. My final grade was a 96. While we were waiting for everyone to see their grade we were looking up guns, germs, and steel. I found out that it's about why some societies are better than others. It talks about societies' immunity to germs, food production, the domestication of animals, and the use of steel. It was a book first then made into a movie. We watched the first maybe 10 minutes of the movie. The main guy in it is Jared Diamond. He was was a college professor at UCLA. He was originally a biologist but his passion is studying birds. The place that they are in is Papua New Guinea. His friend, Yani, asked him a question, “Why do you white men have so much cargo and us New Guineans have so little?” That is the question that made Diamond study sociology. That’s all for today.
