Today in class we started to watch a video about the book Guns Germs and Steel written by Jared Diamond. It was about how he went to Papua New Guinea to study the birds there and he eventually became as interested in the people of New Guinea just as much of the birds of New Guinea. New Guinea is place that has not advanced in technology in the last 13,00 years. When white people first came to New Guinea they rubbed it in their face that they had better technology than them. They gave them a record player and they even made the New Guineans carry them across the river so their pants and their boots didn't get wet. I'm looking forward to seeing more of the video on Monday.
