Blog post #13!

Howdy-do Reader my name is lane miller. Today we got a new key question why are different places simular? Well, the new thing we just learned was cultural Diffusion. Cultural Diffusion is the prosses of an idea or object spreading to a place or population. There are 5 different kinds of diffusion. The first one is relocation diffusion - the movement of an idea based on the movement of peoples from place to place, An example of this would be the movement of the Spanish language from Spain to the Americas. The second type of diffusion is Contagious diffusion - witch is where an idea/trend toches everyone in a population and does not skip anyone. an example of this would be the widespread use of the internet. The Third type of diffusion would be hierarchical diffusion - where the diffusion is spread thro a person's power. An example of this would be the AIDS virus spreading thro the united states. The fourth type of diffusion is stimulus diffusion -  where an idea spreads based on its attachment on another item. an example of this would be other so-called "fidget toys" spurring off from the fidget spinner. The fifth and final type of diffusion is expansion diffusion - where an idea is developed in an area and remains strong three whilst also spreading to other places, this is seen in hierarchical stimulus and contagious diffusion. An example of this would be pizza being popular in Italy and also being popular in other places. In our table groups, we did a project on this we had to find examples of contagious, hierarchical, and relocation diffusion - https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1mElJ193-6htJUa8x2z9S2UbS_SNgI56atK8MGH_WwFc/edit#slide=id.g641dcfb4a8_4_0.

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, people have be
