Compare and contrast the colonialist view of “genetic superiority” vs. Diamond’s view of New Guineans in terms of abilities?  

1 answer:

6 0

<span>Diamond is an evolutionary biologist, interested in adaptations, and he proceeds to speculate that New Guineans exhibit these heightened-mental-activity traits in response to their environment, which presents them with constant and varied challenges. He gets away with it because (1) this statement is buried inside his main thesis, which is in accord with the fundamental dogma (Western superiority is just an accident of geography), and (2) his superior racial group is non-white, and it's okay to call whites inferior</span>

Why does Fitzgerald contrast “hard rock” with “wet marshes”? What does he mean?

g100num [7]

These contrasting metaphors were used by Fitzgerald to convey the message that tolerance has a limit and that morality is always at stake despite having a strong foundation. The end justifies the means most especially when there is a lot to gain. Ethics can be powerful as described by a "hard rock" or weak as referred by "wet marshes".
