Steel, Germs and Guns

I have chosen #2

       The two reasons for question number two are First, The Australian people and the New Zealand people are originally from England(I'm pretty sure for Australia because I have learned that like a million times in the Australian School). The people traveled all the way to Australia and because they are from England, the England government allows them to take some of the goods of England to Australia and New Zealand. But at that time, the Papua New Guinea people didn't have anyone to support them. They are stuck in that country. And because they were stuck in the country they're in, they have little knowledge about what's outside. So because of that, they have no idea that they are way behind everyone else around them. And also, the people there have poor technology so even if they want to notice things outside their country, they don't have the tools to let them know the outside. So that's one reason why the people in Papua New Guinea are very behind now.

        The second reason is that the race of the people are different. The Australians are European and the Papua New Guinea people are Asian. The Europeans at that time was a powerful nation and their technologies was way ahead and way better than anyone else in the world except for America. But the Asians at the time were mostly fighting against people and they got last behind. Even for those like Papua New Guinea who wasn't in a fight, they have poor(as I said before) technologies and they can not explore like the Europeans does. So I think this was another important reason for Papua New Guinea been left behind today.
