Geography blog #4!

Greetings Reader, my name is Lane Miller. Today I am writing my 4th blog in geography class.  todays geography class was the most fun I have had at John Carroll so far! we went over the countries of north and south America. We highlighted a few of them and did some fun geography games. Now I am a self-proclaimed geography veteran, so this was very easy and exciting for me. One of our challenges was, we had to label all the countries on these two maps. 
They are of north and central America, and South America respectively.  So without further ado the countries of north and south America....in order......from my head.

  7. peru
  8. Bolivia
  9. brazil
  10. paraguay

Guns,Germs, and Steel

1. According to Jared Diamond, what are the three major elements that separate the world’s  “haves” from the “have nots”? The major elements are Guns, Germs, and steel. 2. Jared Diamond refers to the people of New Guinea as “among the world’s most culturally diverse and adaptable people in the world”, yet they have much less than modern Americans. Diamond has developed a theory about what has caused these huge discrepancies among different countries, and he says it boils down to geographic luck. Give several examples from the film to support Diamond’s theory. An example of geographic luck would be the Europeans being able to farm crops like wheat , while the people of papa new guinea are forced to gather sago witch is much less nutritious. Also with the animals they had, in new guinea they only had pigs witch could not be used for pelts, milk, nor could pull plows. On the other hand in Eurasiathey had a plethora of helpful animals.  3. For thousands of years, peopl...
