New Guinea

Today we watched a video about a place called Papua New Guinea. They live in poverty and don't have a lot of things. A man named James Diamond goes there often to look at birds. Over the many times of going there, he became friends with many of the locals. A man asked him why American's have so much more cargo than the natives. He didn't know the answer to this question. His goal became to solve this problem and figure out why this happens. this film focused on the people who live there as well. They live the way everyone in the world lived thousands of years ago. Unfortunately, their technology has not evolved like the rest of the worlds. They still are hunter-gatherers which is a very hard life. They are constantly looking for food and do not have a steady home or source of income. Watching films like this makes me realize how good I have it. There are the "haves" and the "have nots." Unfortunately the people who live in Papua are "have nots". They hardly have anything, even the basic necessities.
