Why does civilazation have laws?
I think civilazations has laws because without laws the world would be maham! Everything in shops will be taken, people would get shot, everyone driving would crash because they would all run red lights. I think hammurabi's laws were meaniful i say that because if someone builder killed someone because the house dell down with the owner in it, and the owner dies; the builder himself gets sentanced to death because it is like the saying " an eye for an eye" what you give you get.

Guns, Germs and Steel part 2
How did the movie compare the Middle East (Fertile Crescent) and New Guinea?
The movie compared the middle east and new guinea by saying New Guinea only used pigs as animals to help them farm while the middle east used cows, and goats. Also while i am talking about farming, when the middle east were farming, they just through grain/wheat and barley on the floor while in New Guinea, they dug a hole and planted their food.
Did one have more of an advantage than the other? What were the advantages?
I think that the Middle East had more of an advantage then New Guinea because the Middle East used animals to farm while they looked, gathered, and hunted for food. While New Guinea had to do all the work because pigs had no strength. so the people in New Guinea were more tired than the people in Middle East.
How did the advantages effect their lives and how they progressed through time?
The Middle Eastern people had more time to find food, plant food, and care for their family and community were more advanced in technology because they had time to do their own stuff so they were more social wherelse, in New Guinea they had no time for themselves because they had to farm, make clothing and much more all by themselves. therefore, the Middle Eastern people had more advantages than the New Guinea people. Now everyone in the world is more civilized than the middle Eastern people.

Connect, Exted,and Challenge
I think that this activity was interesting because... Everyone could share what they knew and wanted to know about the e movie. Overall this was a good discussion because if i did not know what barley was my friends could help tell me/ explain to me what it means ( i do know what barely means). I also think that whoever did not fill up anything like a box did not quite understand what the movie was about. I think none of us understood what everything meant.

Guns,germs,and steel
In humanities today for my headline i choose "A walk down memory lane." I chose this because, they went back 250 million years ago when the earth's countries were all together. It showed us what people in the Middle East and New Guinea did to hunt, gather, and live. I thought that the people there were smart in the sense that they could find the right food and hunt down animals that would be satisfactory to themselves and their tribe. Overall i liked the movie and can't wait to watch it again.
