Video Day pt. 2

Today in class, on January 23, we watched the same video we did the previous day and we had a pop quiz, unfortunately. The pop quiz was kind of specific and difficult and I had a hard time recalling the specific facts I had watched the previous day. I ended up doing pretty bad on the pop quiz. The video was on New Guineans and inequality relating to agriculture. People in New Guinea have been living there for 40,000 years, much longer than Northern or Southern Americans. The question a New Guinean asked was "Why do white men have so much more cargo and New Guineans have so little?" Cargo is material goods we obtain. The culture was they thought power was determined by race. Also, white people are believed to be genetically superior naturally.
