Today in Mr. Schick’s Human Geography class, we continued to
watch the movie, Guns, Germs and Steel.
We are onto part four of the documentary movie. In part four of the movie we
learned about Domestication. Domesticated means that the people grew it themselves
then they could grow more than needed to store it. There are three
characteristics of civilization. First, is a Large Population. Second, is a Division
of Labor. Lastly, are Technological Advancements. In China, they grow rice. In
the United States we grow corn. In
Africa, they grow yams, millet, and sorghum. Earlier in the movie, Jared
Diamond was faced with a question from a native Papua New Guinean that at the
time he could not come up with an answer; however, he finally came to
conclusions that some people and countries are just simply have Geological Luck,
which means some people are just lucky enough to be born in a place for
farming.
