Why do some countries become wealthy and dominant, while others remain stagnant and poor? Jared Diamond exclaimed the secret to countries that prosper are guns, germs and steel. Countries have conquered other countries with the same approach. This approach is the use of military power and advanced technology. All great civilizations have had the following in common: Geographic luck, advanced technology, food production, immunity to germs, domestication of crops, domestication of animals, the use
In places like Papua New Guinea, where the climate is very wet and tropical, they can get crops like Sago. Sago is found in the center of Sago trees, the pulp of the tree. When a village is hungry, they chop down the tree, dig to the pulp, harvest for 2-4 days, then eat. Sago is low in calories and protein, and doesn’t last long, maybe 3-5 days at the most. In places like the Fertile Crescent, where the climate is very dry, they are able
While the people of Spain were driving cars and flying planes the people of Papua New Guinea were still in the stone age. Why is this? Why couldn’t Papua New Guinea advance their technology like the rest of the world? For civilizations to be equal they need to be able to develop at the same pace, this didn’t happen due to everyone not having the same geography. Most people believe inequality comes from race, intelligence, and religion. In the end inequality simply comes from geography. The Europeans
Guns, Germs, and Steel America some people are going out and buying hundreds of dollars of food to provide their families while in papua New Guinea people are trying to figure out what they are going to eat that night.Geography can answer why the world is so unequal and why some countries are thousands of years in front of others. Some civilizations are thousands of years in front because geography affects agriculture, domesticated animals, steel, and germs. Each of these plays a special role in
Jared Diamond’s Theory of Geographic Luck explains the reason why some countries, such as Iraq, were able to develop more rapidly than other countries, such as New Guinea. Their ability to become modernized and gain power, wealth, and strength are based on various factors, such as the climate they lived in, the plants found in their surrounding environment, and the animal species found in the region that could be domesticated. Ultimately, it came down to one thing—geographic luck. Firstly, Diamond’s
us. How does geographic location affect what crops a civilization can grow and how they develop?Well the latitude has a big party of that because if you're on the right latitude It can be the right climate and farming.Wheat and sago are the two main food sources. Wheat has protein,
The Asmat people of southwestern New Guinea are hunting, fishing, and gathering people. The term “Asmat” translates to “we the tree people.” This one word label represents the people, the language, and the geographic area. The Asmat use numerous ritual artifacts created from wood, paint, fibers, etc. (Van Arsdale). Their artifacts consisted of bis poles, body mask (det), ceremonial container, drum, male figure, shield, spirit canoe (Wuramon), trumpet (fu) and perhaps numerous others that the world
The Korowai (aka the Kolufo) A. Scope and Applications What is the social function of indigenous knowledge systems? The Korowai tribe live under a male dominated society where leadership structures are based on personal qualities of strong men rather by institution or inheritance. Sleeping areas are divided between genders. Children sleep in the females' room and are raised by their mother and other clan females. Once old enough, male teens move to the male room. Marriage is exogamous and polygamous
Starch-based snacks and ready-to-eat breakfast cereal continue to increase in sales worldwide. Starch-based snacks are commonly made in the form of puffed products. Puffed products are appreciated mainly for their lightness and crispness. These qualities are related to the air cellular structure and degree of expansion. Puffing is a process used for engineering structures and properties of food materials to give a light, airy and crispy texture (Nath and Chattopadhyay, 2008; Mariotti et al., 2006)
of Papua New Guineans. Their carbohydrate needs are still fulfilled by sweet potato, taro, yams, sago and bananas. Agriculture began in Papua New Guinea (PNG) about 10,000 years ago as shown by archaeological research where starch was found on stone tools excavated in Kuk in western highlands. It suggested that taro was cultivated in Kuk at that time. A number of staple food crops such as banana, sago, taro, greater yam, highland and lowland pitpits etc. were domesticated by the people of New Guinea
Topic: Explain how globalization has affected your culture. Globalization has taken place in the past when state and empires expanded their influence far outside their border. However, one of the distinctions of globalization today is the speed with which it is transforming local culture as they took part in a worldwide system of interconnectedness. Through globalization, many cultures in the world have changed dramatically. Globalization is the process of international integration arising from
Guns Germs And Steel / Chapter I. At the beginning of the documentary, it explains the situation of the conquest by the Europeans. How they arrived to native people's lands, how they assimilated the native population. And their success was guns, germs and steel. The documentary says that these three elements shaped the history of modern world. Jared diamond starts his journey in rain forests-papua new guinea. He is a professor in UCLA in los Angeles, biologist and specialist in human psychology
The Korowai tribe was one of the most secluded tribes in the world. Found in the tall, tall trees of the forests of Papua New Guinea, the Korowai tribe is, as an example of their seclusion, thought to have been oblivious to the existence of people outside their tribe until the 1970s. Despite this undoubtedly recent realization, the Korowai are, themselves, a very complex and stratified society. The economy of the Korowai is made up of horticulturists, hunters, and gatherers, with the
it was acceptable for women to join in on the dancing and “a few women could be seen joking and flirting directly with men”, although men kept a close eye on their woman (p. 90). On the contrary to men, women weren’t allowed in the same side of the sago wall during spirit séances. Women didn’t make phallic or sexual jokes, instead they laughed and clapped along. Gebusi women “indulged and genuinely enjoyed” the phallic joking of men, although they did occasionally get offended by it (p.20). Sexual
It's a well known fact that humans have the ability to effeciently recognize patterns. Some people who work for Google, have highlighted the fact that backliinks, keywords, title tags and meta descritpoions are greate factors which can be utulied to sort and rank websites. However, the concept of recognizing such patterns on a massive scope is something that humans cannot easily do. Machines on the other hand, are extremly effeeint at gathering data. However, unlike humans they cannot recognize patterns

It was also a story that was going to stay on Asian newspapers' headlines for a few days, increase their popularity at school and a story to boast and exaggerate to their descendants. '' I forgot to jot down the recipe for the sago pudding and clay-baked chicken!'' Amy exclaimed with a jolt, in a tone laced with unadulterated regret.
Comedy and tragedy would not seem to mix well, as they have opposite conclusions of happiness or sadness. To have comic and tragic plots within one play, then, can be argued as being too distinct to be coherent. In The Insatiate Countess, however, it is the differences between the tragic plot of the countess, Isabella, and the comic plot of Abigail and Thais, that strengthen the play’s message supporting loyalty in friendship. Written by John Marston, Lewis Machin and William Barksted, The Insatiate
Homemade Cerelac for Babies We are always in a hurry and want everything to be instant. We have got into the habit of eating a lot of junk food which is available quickly but it isn’t very nutritious and may also be preserved using various chemicals. In spite of the fact that they are more harmful for the body, we do not bother about our health a lot. However, when it comes to babies, a mother can go to any length to ensure that her baby is getting adequate nutrition. Parents tend to choose all
Korowai People There is a diversity of tribes that the human society was once uninformed of its existence. Until the 1970, mankind was unaware of the Korowai society existence. The Korowai also known as Kolufu are from the southwestern part of the western part of New Guinea. The Korowai tribe follows a common language, economic system, and an exceptional lifestyle. They practice ritual cannibalism and have incredible architecture knowledge. In the verge of extinction the Korowai continue to practice
