Jared Diamond argument at his “Guns, Germs and
Steel” documentary, I definitely agree with him when he said geography is the
root cause of inequality. Diamond imply that “the New Guinean didn’t advance on
technology because they spend to much time in energy feeding them selves.” He’s
absolutely right, if they spend too much time on finding food to eat and other
countries such as western countries have been already bless with geography and
they have food with great calories to eat. They will definitely advance more.
They already have something to eat; from there they have time to spend on other
different aspect such as technology which western countries did. For example if
you look at some Asian and African countries right now, who are still suffering
from starvation, therefor, these countries will not advance on technology
because they don’t have nothing to eat all they can be focus about is how to
get food. If they were able to get food to feed them selves by now, they would
be worried about inventing or focusing on other stuff such technology, science
or developing their nations to catch up with western countries.
In our
global society today the “Economy or justice” is a big issue about inequality. Rich
nations such as China and the United States are not really helping poor
nations. These rich nations have the opportunity to stop or to help poor nation
around the word. However, instead of helping them, they just explore these poor
nations. For example the United State and its European allies when to war to
remove Gadhafi from his country Libya claiming that they went there to help the
Libyan people to get freedom, but In reality they went to Libya to explore they
oil. Lets look at Somalia that country has been in war for more than a decade,
people are getting killed every day but the United States and Europe never plan
or are planning on going there to help the people of Somalia to get freedom.
This is a country that needs help from criminal, not Libya, a country that was
working normal without a war. Therefore the world should realize about this
kind of inequality. This is an issue we can fix as human being and it’s in our
interest to fix this difference we have and stop inequality around the world.

In the paragraph of the Martin
Luther King’s book, “Where Do We Go From Here.” King were explaining to us that
violence will not solve the injustice and the inequality that’s faced Negro in
this country. He was saying the marches or the peaceful protest was the best
way to approach the white people to gain justice and fairness in the nation.
Yes he was right. Violence never should problem easily, it only makes it worse
even though sometime at the end it will benefit. For example if someone have
done you wrong and you are planning on doing them something wrong back; you
will never get to the point of solving the problem or differences you both
having. You will get hurt or he will get hurt which will not benefit both of
you. Therefore the King’s way was a very good idea of him using the marches to
solve the injustice and the inequality black people were getting from white
people in this country.
In the paragraph of the Stockely
Carmichael’s book “Stokely Speaks.” He was emphasizing that white people where
talking about nonviolence when they know themselves that they were the violent
people themselves not the negro they were accusing of being violent. He went
even further to give us some example such us president Johnson was bombing Vietnam
but nobody were talking about nonviolence, however, anytime a black man is trying to defend
himself they start talking about violence. Black people were not doing violence
they were getting violated by white people and the police. Yet the police were
not doing their job of protecting the citizen of this nation, they were doing racism
between white and black. And therefore, if black people thought securing they community
by themselves were the best way for them to get secure, they should. i will not call that violent, its the government thats violent since they are the one that failed to protect all the citizen such as the minority (black people).
