Analysis Of Guns, Germs And Steel By Jared Diamond

The Oxford Dictionary defines perspective as “A particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view.” Everybody has different perspectives, but one of the more unique ones is from Jared Diamond. He created the book “Guns, Germs and Steel,” which was later turned into a TV miniseries. In it, Diamond travels around the world looking for an answer to a question that was asked by a New Guinean. Eventually, he turned to history. He looked at different societies and analyzed what caused them to be the way they were. Finally, he found an answer; geographic luck. In Episode 1 and 2 of “Guns, Germs and Steel,” Jared Diamond addresses an important question that has the ability to broaden a person’s understanding of people living

To do that, he turned to history. Diamond started by looking at the Fertile Crescent, which, at the time, was geographically blessed. They had a plentiful of crops, such as wheat. Also, they were able to domesticate plants and some animals. The domestication of plants led to them having crops that yielded bigger and tastier harvests. The domestication of animals helped the people living in the Fertile Crescent because it provided them with a steady source of food and animal hair and skin, which was used to make clothing. Consequently, the domestication of plants and animals and the plentiful of food allowed the Fertile Crescent to support more people. This led to the development of more complex societies, which only happened because they had the resources that they had. In New Guinea, the people didn’t have a plentiful of crops and many domesticated animals, only the pig. They needed to rely on hunting and gathering, which wasn’t able to feed many people. Conversely, the New Guinean societies had to stay small and were not able to develop because they did not have the proper resources that allowed them to grow. In his videos, Diamond is able to show how geographic luck was and still is an enormous factor in the development of

Understanding these societies in history can also help us understand the perspective of people living around the world today. In the videos, it talks about how the Incas were conquered by the Spanish. The Spanish was venturing into new land in South America when they ran into the gigantic Inca society. The Incas perceived the Spanish as godlike, except for the Inca emperor. However, the Spanish were afraid of the Inca army, so they attacked and eventually conquered the Inca empire. Knowing the history of a society, like the history of the Incas and the Spanish, can help us understand the perspective of someone living around the world because we know the reason why their society is the way it is. In addition, history can help us understand the perspective of people living around the world because it has impacted the way that people live. For example, there is no Inca empire today because the Spanish had conquered them hundreds of years ago. This affects the way that people live because the outcome of the society would have been different if those things had not happened. Understanding human societies in history and how history has affected present day can help us understand the perspective of people living around the
