OBJECTIVE: After watching the documentary Guns Germs and Steel, students will be able to identify the various factors which led western European countries to flourish and dominate the rest of the world
RATIONALE: Students need to understand the factors (environmentally and animal availability) which allowed for certain cultures to develop dominance, and realize that it was based on chance (where you lived and what crops and animals were present) which led to domination, and not race religion or ethnicity.
EVIDENCE: By listing and understanding the factors, students will demonstrate an enlightened knowledge about race, ethnicity, culture, ingenuity, and luck.
