Reflection

Im finding alot of interesting details to just think about through everyday. I beleive that humans should all care for one another. We all have different background and different lives. Yet we all think alike. Im just confused by why we think we can treat eachother the way we do. We find pleasure in making fun of others cultures, worlds and lives in general. Anything that is different about yourself we find faults in. I feel like im leaping above others in this area. I really am trying to accept others for who they are and understand that even though we are all different we are all 99.9% the same. I feel we all need to know this and I will jam this into your minds every single blog. Just know that your making the mistake. That's all I can ask you to do is try. Realize that your making the mistake and attempt to fix it. I beleive we all need to understand our mistakes, be able to admit them and then begin caring for others besides our self. This is how our cultural problems can be fixed.

I began thinking of "Geographical Luck!" I've recently finished a long and tedious book for my CU World History Class. Though I was stoked for the class, I knew that this book would shoot me in the brain. As I began reading this term popped up almost immediatly and I became intrigued. I began thinking about the studies of culture and how the climate and geography of a place is a huge deal with our World today. This book is called Guns, Germs and Steel, and was written by a man named Jared Diamond. Diamond's theory is that intelligence was never the key but that it was a series of events involving, climate, domestication and people. I began to wonder about some of the areas similarities and differences. We all come from such different backgrounds, all from different beliefs, all from different families. Yet we are still as I told you before 99.9% the same. We all have that same emotions and feelings. The thing that sets humans apart is the fact that we are all different. Heritage sets us apart. Lives change everyday, in the tropics, one doesnt know if you could catch malaria. meanwhile back here in America we have to worry about catching a cold. I was thinking about the economical differences, and how Americans have so little to worry about but we complain about so much. While on the other hand students and elders from third world countries live life with passion and hope and love it even though they are left with the worst.

Guns, Germs and Steel focuses on the geographical era. We know that areas throughout the world are of enviornmental differences. Some areas with tropical climates are unable to support animal and plant domestication. Meanwhile others such as Europe have thrived in domestication. Europe has thrived at conquering the planet. From the America's to the Australian area conquestidors full of hunger for power and thirst for more sent Europe of the wall conquering every land that came into view. Though the more "conquesting" peoples had intelligance, I found out that by using Guns, Germs and Steel these now 3rd world countries will remain third world countries not because of money although money is a big issue but because the differences in the geography not the economy.
