In the case of scenario two, the shooting incident was taken place in a crowd of people when an individual was delivering speech on a slightly raised podium at a range of 25m. A low popping sound was heard by most people in the crowd but the shooter or the gun was not seen by anyone. As a result of the shooting, the victim had a small entry wound in the lower abdomen without any exit wound. In my opinion, the most suitable weapon I have chosen is Glock 19 4th Generation 9mm Pistol with an ammunition of Federal Classic Hi-Shock jacketed hollow point 9mm 115 grain ammunition, also used with a sound suppressor.…

The book Guns, Germs, and Steel is about how many different things attributed to the succession of societies versus the destruction of other societies. The book starts out with the author, Jared Diamond, in New Guinea talking to a New Guinean politician named Yali. Yali asked Diamond "Why white men developed so much cargo and brought it to New Guinea where we black people had little cargo of our own?" Diamond was determined to seek an answer to Yali's question. Diamond surrounds his answer on how "History followed different courses for different people because of differences among peoples' environments, not because of biological differences among peoples themselves." Some theories outlined or expressed in the book are Agriculture, Geography, and Genetics. The Obstacles that interfered with the spread of mankind are geography and germs. Yali's question influenced diamond to make his own investigation to seek the root causes of Eurasian dominance.…
“Yali’s question” is “Why is it that you white people developed so much cargo and brought it to New Guinea, but we black people had little cargo of our own?” (Diamond 14). By “cargo,” Yali is referring to wealth and technology, which leads to power and dominance. Essentially, Yali wants to know why was there is such a disparity between the lifestyle of the average New Guinean versus the average European or American? In other words, why did white people become so rich and powerful, while black people lagged behind?…
A crime scene investigator might indicate the scale of evidence in photos by using common tools like cigarette packs, ballpoint pens, or car keys as points of reference. They also use rulers, probably for measuring.…
In Guns, Germs, and Steel, Jared Diamond opposed the idea that European civilizations have advanced further than their contemporaries in other continents because their inhabitants were intellectually superior. Instead, he supported the notion that some civilizations developed at a quicker pace than others because of the environmental differences that were present in the continents where they resided. Factors such as wildlife, climate, and the types of resources presented in an area have dramatically affected the growth and development of hunter-gatherer groups into villages, and eventually, nations. In places where the environmental conditions were not ideal, the inhabitants were not able to advance as far as other civilizations. Diamond disproved…
Prologue: The author presents a question by a politician named Yali from a trip to New Guinea in 1972 of how whites were able to bring a great amount of cargo than the natives already living in their land. Yali argues of why it was because of the environment advantage for the Europeans to claim land from the Native Americans to go against racial differences that were made. He also argues of how modern Stone Age people were capable of accomplishing more productions for their societies than those industrialized and how New Guineans are more luxurious in living compared to the Americans and Europeans because humans must have history with evidence.…

In the book Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond, the author encounters a man named Yali while on a trip to new Guinea.

So, what is Yali’s question and how does the author attempt to answer? How did Pizarro defeat the Incas and how does this relate? Yali’s question attempts to be answered by the author, but a closer look into how Pizarro defeated the…

A. Foer’s Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close uses post modernism to paint a picture of a well known event in an unconventional way. Foer looks at how people deal with trauma and relationships created through shared pain. A quotation about Foer from a New York Times article states, “Foer can be surprisingly intimate when he is on record. His letters, much like his fiction, are conceived “as an end to loneliness,” as he once put it in an email message. And while most of his letters in the world – at least the good ones are similarly written to allay our loneliness; Foer seems haunted by an aching awareness of the probability of defeat. What, in the end can we really know of one another?”.…

Actuality There are so many scenarios in life that are made out to be completely different than they actually are because of media. Movies and shows make everything seem like something is one way and then in actuality it’s nothing like it. Throughout movies from scene to scene things are dramatized, over exaggerated, and made out to be better or worse than the situation or things really are. As a child I always watched movies and was deceived by them without even realizing it.…
