             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.
