Essay On Guns Germs And Steel

Guns, Germs and Steel
There is nothing better then realizing that each indigenous people evolved into something better or that they found ways to survive in situations they weren’t use too. There were many changes that happened over time that cause for situations to change for everyone around them. But it also has helped with being able to progress with the way they lived. Jared diamond the author of Guns, Germs and Steel interpret his famous theory oh how we came to be. How the geography luck helped each country developed more rapidly than others as well as being able to expand more. However they also had geography luck when it came to how many advantages they had with the technology nevertheless, germs also was a big part of how the conquered most of the lands because it would kill instantly millions of european and

indigenous people. Why do some societies see geography as a way to expand so that they can gain more power while using the theories that Jared Diamond explained about guns, germs, and steel.
Geography luck is a term that most people use to describe how some countries have more luck in expanding and conquering than other places while some developed earlier and rapidly than others because of where they were located. Weather is has to do with climate, the kinds of animals they had or what kind of crops they are able to grow so they can be domesticated. But geography luck can also be how easily one can travel from one civilization to another. All of this countries had either less or more than others but because some had advantages that led them to success, some civilizations were able to expand more because they were either more successful in food production, immunity to different kinds of germs or diseases and they had more domesticated animals to help them do the hard work they weren't able to do or provide them with food. However some had greater knowledge on how to produce and specialize in the use steel to make weapons that later on they will use. The people of Papua New Guinea can be said that they were not as lucky as the rest of the world because they didn't have many options the type of food they could eat to go on with their day. It can be said that they only had one source of food and animal that would help them prosper. Taro is a plant that you have to plant them individually plus it isn't really nutritious. The one domesticated animal they had was the pig which it can be pretty useless unless they are using it for food or digging which it is the only thing it can provide. They were also unlucky because they were isolated from other civilization which that led them to not be able to create a form of writing or a sort of communication as well as the use of tools they could use to better themselves.
The europeans were incredibly lucky when it came to geography luck because they had many things that helped them along the way to be where they are right now. One of the factors that the europeans were lucky on was because they had farming which was vital character for their progress they wanted to have. They also had great domesticated animals that provided them with food, shelter that were make from their skins as well as tools that came from the bones and milk. Domesticated animals also helped them to evolve from smallpox because smallpox was a cow disease, they had also become immune to it over the years. The europeans were advanced in their guns and steel because the had more knowledge on the use of it as well as how to produce it. They also had more technology that enable certain groups the developed weapons for war because of the technology they had to include more than guns. Europeans were able to take over other people because the brought with them diseases that indigenous people weren't aware of because of it they would die. They brought animals that carried diseases that would then transfer to a person but they were affected by it because they had developed immunity over the years. They also took over people because they started to build railroads and they developed rich societies.
Germs have either affected or helped out civilizations because of the many diseases that came along many civilizations had already developed an immune to foreign diseases and germs. Not everyone was as lucky to be immune to germs because the ones that weren't adapted to it cause a widespread of deaths. It also weaken many armies which cause civilizations to be defeated easily. Nevertheless germs had a big role when it came in developing nations because the diversity and density of the many erosion of the many populations created an immunity that later on would wipe out the civilizations that were more isolated and that didn't have vaccines that could cure them.
Guns, germs and steel came to be one of the most important lessons to go over with students not just because is something teachers should teach but because in a way it shows us how some nations came to be.

It is important for people to understand and know what went on in all time periods and how one simple animal cause be the one thing that gets you by each day or how evolving to something greater can either be successful or a disaster depending on where anyone is located. Jared Diamond allowed us to understand how guns, germs and steel helped countries not be so isolated and be open to new technology that helped them prosper to something bigger than what they had. To conclude many nations use the three theories that jared diamond shares so that countries could prosper to something bigger than what they had hence, they also used it to conquer other civilizations so they could gain as much power as they could. To sum up Jared Diamond saw geography more than a way to expand from either east to west but a way to use what they had or what others brought so that they can gain more power while using the theories guns, germs, and steel

provided.
