Papua New Guinea

People in Papua New Guinea used stone tools in 1960 while in America we were able to shop for groceries and buy metal tools. How did countries like Papua New Guinea become so unequal to other countries such as the Fertile Crescent. Europeans had Fertile Crescent (Eurasia) that let them conquer other cultures and take their supplies. Eurasia had the agriculture, domesticated animals, the immunity for germs and the steel.     Geographic location affects what crops a civilization can grow and how they

Why are we driving cars and using cell phones, while people of Papua New Guinea are using sticks and stones to chop down a tree and hunt?! It’s all because of our geographical inequality. Our world is so unequal depending on where you are in the world. People in Eurasia got the best climate to grow wheat. What does wheat have to do with inequality? Wheat won't grow in Papua New Guinea! Wheat grows in humid climates and takes little effort to grow and farm. Wheat is an easy crop to harvest and grow

plate (Fig. 4) (e.g. Hall, 2002; Petterson et al., 1999; Schellart et al., 2006). This subduction and arc development is one of the most poorly understood elements of the southwest Pacific. The Melanesian arc comprised New Britain, New Ireland and Bougainville of Papua New Guinea, much of the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Fiji (e.g. Abbott, 1995; Kroenke, 1984; Musgrave, 1990; Petterson et al., 1999). Since the time of arc formation, however, these terranes have undergone complex tectonic reorganizations

Island of Papua New Guinea can be extremely hard to travel or research as this remote island has limited infrastructure with very little information to read about in magazine and websites, in short it is like stepping into the great unknown. This is exactly why people are intrigued with trying to save the culture of its people, its wild life and its beautiful rain forest, which are in sever danger of deforestation. The industrial revolution is destroying the Papua New Guinea Rainforest

The people of the Trobriand Islands in Papua New Guinea have been a source of interest to anthropologists since the early 1900s, when Bronislaw Malinowski first studied them. In a time when anthropology was "barely established as a formal discipline" (Weiner, 1988), Malinowski had an intense interest in ethnographical field work as well as the fascinating culture of the natives of what was then called Papua, the southeastern part of mainland New Guinea. The Trobriand way of life is extremely different

umbrella is a challenge because diverse way gives diverse solution and satisfying local people with the scientific solution is more difficult where they keep in-depth knowledge about resources in a specific area. A case study of Bangladesh and Papua New Guinea will present a brief example of the topic. Though it is problematic to use diverse knowledge in a holistic manner, only government can do this job and we don 't have any alternative to save ourselves from the wrath of nature. What is NRM: At

Approximately 100 miles (160km) north of Australia, situates the second largest island in the south pacific called Papua New Guinea; occupying the eastern half of the rugged tropical island of New Guinea and some 700 offshore islands. With its comparative area size slightly larger than California, Papua New Guinea is about 287,595 miles in total area, of which 281,394 miles is land and 6,201 miles is water and accumulative of 3,201 miles of coastline. The central part of the island is composed of

How is it that people in Papua New Guinea are still using stone tools and in other countries are using such advanced technology? The Europeans had the right climate for farming, access to domesticated animals, an immunity to germs and steel. This allowed them to dominate countries that didn’t have these advantages.     Latitude and geographic location controls climate. Climate will control how well a country grow crops and what crops will actually grow, this will also affect how much time a civilization

A small nation with widespread brutality and domestic violence, Papua New Guinea, located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, struggles with multiple developmental challenges. It is one of the poorest countries on the planet per capita, as well as one of the most culturally diverse with over 800 languages are spoken there (Campano). According to ReCom, a research and communication on foreign aid organization, it is ranked at 148 on the Human Development Index and most human well-being indicators show

for multiple years. Papua New Guinea is a rain forest in the tropics. The wet and warm climate only grows one essential crop, the sago trees require hard work to cut down, open, and mash into a dough. After baking in the sun the food is completed after days of harvesting. This long process produces food that only lasts about a week and is low in protein and calories. Those in the Fertile Crescent don’t spend long harvesting food and have plenty of time to develop technology and new ideas instead of
