week 2

today in class we watched more of the video and took notes. in the video they talked about how the different civilizations around the world through history grew to have so much. we also talked about the question that was asked by one of the new guinens which was, "why do you whitte men have so much and we have so little" and we figured out that this is because some countries or regions around the world have been lucky enough to have the right food growing there. plus some of the other regions around the world have found ways to develop and produce more food to feed their people.
