1/13/14; Guns, Germs, and Steel Film


Today in human geo, we watched a video of Guns, Germs, and Steel. Which is an ironic title because it had nothing to do with those topics. We were only supposed to get threw 22 minutes but we ended up watching the whole movie, oops. For our blog post today, we are supposed to give our opinion on Jared Diamond’s theory. His theory is that some areas of the world prospered more than others because of the resources they had. Some people don’t agree with him because he leaves out the people that survived. I agree and disagree at the same time, I agree that the resources you had in your area effect your advancement in the world greatly. But I disagree that it was only the resources, the people had to learn what to do with the resources. You can lead a horse to a stream but you can’t make it drink.
