GUNS, GERMS AND STEEL
I agree with Diamond's answer to why some environments are "blessed" by have better farming conditions and animals for food and labor. I agree because when exploring the coast of Australia a person, such as Jared Diamond, will see that there were struggles with plant growth and animals.Although in our society there is no problems when it comes to farming conditions. Some societies are still developing and are left behind in terms of technology, health conditions, and weapons.An environment that has problems with diseases that are cured for in our society, is a factor that considers our environment blessed.
The key factor that facilities inequalities in our global society in my view would be people. I feel that people are a key factor in the inequalities because human nature in people tends to moves them forward or leave them behind. It is up to us to make changes or leave things the way they are. A person off the coast of Australia has the choice of allowing an outsider provide aid to their living conditions. People from different societies are capable of helping other societies. The only factor that affects the person to help or not is if they want to. It is humane to help others and another persons problems their own. The problem is that people don't always feel the need to be beneficial to others, so this results in inequalities in our global society today.

king and Carmichael/ They Say - I say
In this blog I will
talk about the similarities and differences between Martin Luther King Jr. and
Stokely Carmichael from Stokely Speaks
and Choas or Community. Stokely found
hypocrisy when it came to the white and black community. Stokely is surely
right about how there was a double standard on black people being violent
because it was fine for white people to be brutal during the time. Stokely’s theory of the double standard that was placed
on black people is extremely useful because it sheds light on the difficult
problem of inequality.
Martin Luther King Jr. felt that
Africans-Americans were able to fight for their rights in a nonviolent way such
as marching. Adding to King’s argument I would point out that unlike Stokely,
king felt that even though African-Americans were guilty of being violent, there
were alternate ways in controlling rage and releasing under discipline for the most
effective impact. According to King and Carmichael African-Americans were
categorized as violent unless they remained passive. In marching together,
African Americans solved what lobbying couldn’t do in legislative halls. King gave the police no reason to be hostile or brutal towards him, contrary to people in the ghettos.
