Factors which go into making up an area’s geographic luck are climate and how the natives dealt with the weather. Moreover‚ the indigenous people of the continents must have a stable food source so they can get their

I found Mark Bittman’s Tedtalk‚ What’s wrong with what we eat talk to be somewhat educational‚ but also misleading at the same time especially when it came to agriculture. It is true that humans are over eating especially when it comes to meat‚ but that is because we’re no longer cavemen who need to go out and hunt for our meals but instead‚ we can go to the grocery store or a restaurant to get anything we desire. Thus I believe that added convince is what is adding to the obesity epidemic‚ not the

Geographic Luck Why is it that Europeans ended up conquering so much of the world? According to UCLA biologist Jared Diamond‚ some countries grew faster than others because of geographic luck. It sounds like a simple theory‚ but there is a lot more to it. The lucky countries‚ like Spain‚ were lucky enough to have natural resources‚ indigenous plants‚ and animals that could be domesticated. With all of this at their fingertips‚ they were able to stop hunting and gathering and start farming. Farming

Question What might be Mark Glaser’s purpose as a writer linking this story to the 2004 tsunami in Southeast Asia? How does this strategy broaden the scope of his arguments significance?

Huck Finn is a very clever at thinking up ideas‚ even sometimes when he has no time to think. This theme is shown throughout the novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. He always seems to have a clever solution for squeezing his way out of a tight situation that either he or Jim gets into. One example of Hucks cleverness is when he gets locked in the cabin by his drunkard father. Huck takes his time in figuring out an elaborate plan to escape from the clutches of his father.

Luck and success "Genius is 99% hard work and 1% Luck‚" this is a well-quote from Einstein. People have different opinion about that how success comes. Some people believe that success is being for luck‚ others think it is because of hard work. Personally‚ I believe that luck has nothing to do with success. Success is a result of our preparation‚ hard work and experience. Even the ideal conditions that led to success are a product of our preparation and work. Bill Gate’s success with the
