What is Diamond’s explanation for the inequality between New Guinea and other parts of the world?

History

andrew11 [14]3 years ago

Diamond realized that Yali’s question penetrated the heart of a great mystery of human history -- the roots of global inequality.

Why were Europeans the ones with all the cargo? Why had they taken over so much of the world, instead of the native people of New Guinea? How did Europeans end up with what Diamond terms the agents of conquest: guns, germs and steel? It was these agents of conquest that allowed 168 Spanish conquistadors to defeat an Imperial Inca army of 80,000 in 1532, and set a pattern of European conquest which would continue right up to the present day.

Diamond knew that the answer had little to do with ingenuity or individual skill. From his own experience in the jungles of New Guinea, he had observed that native hunter-gatherers were just as intelligent as people of European descent -- and far more resourceful. Their lives were tough, and it seemed a terrible paradox of history that these extraordinary people should be the conquered, and not the conquerors.

To examine the reasons for European success, Jared realized he had to peel back the layers of history and begin his search at a time of equality – a time when all the peoples of the world lived in exactly the same way.

What were the main points of Roosevelt's speech? Specifically, what are the four freedoms mentioned in the title and why are the
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Roosevelt's hope was to provide a rationale for why the United States should abandon the isolationist policies that emerged from World War I.

In that context, he summarized the values of democracy behind the bipartisan consensus on international involvement that existed at the time.

*The first is freedom of speech and expression—everywhere in the world.

*The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way—everywhere in the world.

*The third is freedom from want—which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants—everywhere in the world.

*The fourth is freedom from fear—which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor—anywhere in the world.
