Guns Germs and Steel continued...
Objective: Provided the prologue to Jared Diamonds Guns Germs & Steel book, as well as the opportunity to see the first part of the video Guns Germs and Steel, students will be able to list and describe the key elements Diamond identifies for his reasoning for cultural dominance among the various historical and current cultures around the world.
Rationale: It is important for students to understand the factors that lead to cultural development and dismiss unfounded claims of racial superiority theories.
Evidence: Students should be able to list factors that disprove the racial superiority theory with actual evidence of how cultures developed their dominance.
