1/13/14 Today's Blog

      Today in class we watched a movie Guns, Germs, and Steel.  The movie was about civilization and how some civilizations like the USA are so modern and others like Papa New Guinea are still like the old times.  Part of the reason I think is because of the amount of domesticated animals we have compared to what they have.  Since there are less domesticated animals in Papa New Guinea they have less tools to help them farm and to prosper.  Since they have to work so hard on just surviving everyday their society cannot advance like the USA.
