First Class in Western Civilizations 1/25

We began western civilization today in class we set up our blog for this class. We also started watching a movie called Guns Germs and Steel. Guns Germs and Steel is about guy named Jared who is a bird watcher, in fact one of the best in the world, was brought up with a question "Why do you white folks have more trade than us?". It made him think because the people on the poorer island that dont have a good civilization and aren't advanced is really just because they are not smart.
