Today we talked more about Socrates and about excellence. I learned that Socrates was a stonemason and he was a philosopher. He also fought in one of the wars and he lived. That is also what shaped his world was the battlefield that he fought on. I learned that what is now the scientific method used to be the Socrates method which means all socrates would do was ask a bunch of questions wanting an answer. But, it wasn't all that great, when he taught kids he corrupted their brains into thinking different things so he got put on the death penalty which caused his death. The death penalty for him was that he had to drink poison and within a few hours he would be dead. Even though he could have escaped the death penalty, he was true to his word and was killed.

Test day

Today we took a test on jared diamond and the culture of Papa New Guinea. I think I did really good on this test and this test should raise my grade because I have a 85% so above an 85 should lift it. To me I think I only got like one or two wrong total. Which was the one where it talked about the prehistoric age and what came before it which I thought is the ice age. Also, the one where it talked about what is wrong with the fertile crescent and I put the volcanoes but now I think it was overarming. I also studied the 14 different animals that can be domesticated and that are 100 pounds and more a lot and there was only one question which said that the only one that wasn't one that could be domesticated. Finally, we have learned a lot about the this topic and what Yalis question really meant to us and Jared diamond.

Review of test

Today we watched the rest of the video we have been reviewing for the past week. It talked about the agriculture and the animals that make farming better. Like the New Guineans don't have cows and chickens that can make it easier to get food and make farming easier for like pulling things. We also learned that sense they don't have cows and other animals they don t get the right food cause I they get there is sago, bananas, and some other fruit. I also learned that there is 100 million cows in the the United States which means there could be 1 cow for every 3 people. Also there was animal domestication in the video where you interact with them and actually care for them. By the way the goats and sheep were the first animals to be domesticated in the ancient times. Finally, there is only about 14 species of animals that are domesticated and above 100 pounds.

Jared Diamond

Today we learned a lot about the Papa New Guinea culture and Jared Diamond. Like we learned that these people choose the lifestyle of hunter and gatherer, which is a lot like the stone age or prehistoric age which only happens other then them is only like the Amazon or Northern Canada or Alaska. I also  learned that there is people in Papa New Guinea that live in the modern world like on the coast of the country cause it is an island. The video we have been watching has also taught me how these people actually eat like for one they have to hunt the animals like the deer and other animals that contain a lot of meat. They also get food from trees called wild sago which the way they eat it is like they have to turn it it into dough which can take a few days and cook from that dough. Finally, I learned from Jared Diamond was that the ways to make up a great civilization is to have a advanced tech, large populations and a well organized work force.
