when several nations are on the brink of entering a futuristic technological era‚ others are still in modern Stone Age? How did such differences in evolution occur when we all emerged from the same place?

The only thing I don’t agree with is that‚ according to Jared Diamond‚ is that the civilization’s power and strength totally depends on geography. I think that people’s choices also change a lot.

I first read Jared Diamond’s Guns‚ Germs‚ and Steel in the Fall 2003 based on a recommendation from a friend. Many chapters of the book are truly fascinating‚ but I had criticisms of the book back then and hold even more now.

On December 11th‚ 1762‚ Benjamin Franklin wrote a captivating letter to Jared Ingersoll. The letter‚ dubbed “I Look’d Round for God’s Judgments‚” attempts to trivialize a certain tenet of the Connecticut Religion‚ namely God’s Wrath. Although Franklin may seek a greater understanding in regard to Mr. Ingersoll’s religion‚ he undoubtedly employs condescension throughout the work. After laying out Mr. Franklin’s argument‚ I contend that he fails to completely persuade me. Benjamin Franklin begins his
