Finishing Guns, Germs, and Steel

Today in class we finished the movie Guns Germs and Steel. I really enjoyed watching this movie because it was both informative and interesting. Diamond took us through multiple eras of human history, and a multitude of facts and data along the way. The way the new guineans lived was very interesting to me because i'm so used to seeing people like us who have smart phones, expensive clothing, and material items, while they simply do not have any. We also got to try a bread that has all of the grains that we talked about from the movie. I thought the bread was really good, and tasted more natural than other types I've had. When we finished we shared our opinions on if we thought the New Guinean people were living happily and effectively, or if they needed an upgrade. Personally, I think that if what they're doing now is good enough for them, they shouldn't have to change a thing about their lifestyle.
