Notes on the Egyptian Riots

A group of men started the thoughts of rioting for Mumbark to resign. They used Facebook and Twitter to communicate with other Egyptian. When they rioted 4 people were killed and 400 people were arrested. So was the leader of the riots he was arrested and the police questioned and beat him for the password of the page on Facebook. He gave them a fake password and was released. He asked the man who did the riots in Russia for help on how to work his riots. He told him to go viral, and have a peaceful riot. They chose January 25, 2011 to riot against them. January 25th was a public holiday.The riot still did not go well for them. On January 28th they were going to riot again with a higher force. But Mumbark turned off the internet.

Test On Guns, Germs, and Steel

The test was yesterday. I feel like I did well on it.

The Essay:

             Jarred Diamond talks about geographic luck in the movie Guns, Germs, and Steel. Geographic Luck was served to the Fertile Crescent, South America, and in Europe. Not Papua New Guinea. The reason behind that is that the people of Papua New Guinea 11,000 years ago did not have animals, very many crops, or arable land.

               The people of the Fertile Crescent, Europe, and South America had domesticated animals, store able crops, fertile land, and crops that could be planted easily. Since the people of New Guinea had to find what they were going to eat and keep moving to new places on the island they never had time to come up with technology, or other possible jobs other than hunting and gathering. They only had pigs that were given to them from the Japanese. That is not enough for a country to thrive. Until the 60's or the 70's Papua New Guinea did not even know of electricity, crops, buildings, or even civilizations.

                 The people of New Guinea were not, not clever enough to build their own civilization. They were only dealt a bad area for arable land, and domesticated animals. So they never had time to build up on new technologies or even build their own civilization. All of these problems have put most of the New Guinean people in the "Stone Age".
