Why do civilizations have laws?

Some people woder why civilizations have laws. This is what I say. Without civilization we would all be dead because without laws you can do whatever you want and there are bad people in the world who wish there are no such things as laws. Everyone will get murdered everything will be a disaster.

Answering Mr Mcqueens questions


  • New Guinea has a disadvantage to the middle east because in the middle east they have better animals such as cows,sheep,goats and horses

  • NG(New Guinea) has the food that can be stored like taro.

  • NG has a tropical climate so it will rain more to make better crops




Connect Extend and Challenge

In humanities we watched a movie called guns,germs and steel. After the movie we wrote things we knew all along, New things we learned from the movie and any questions or lingering thoughts. At first I wasn't sure what I knew what the movie connected to my previous learning. After that I knew that animal droppings made good fertalizer. There were alot of new things that I learned. The first is wheat and barley is better then the taro root in New Guinea. Another thing I learned is that the people in New Guinea don't have much protein so they eat giant spiders to gain enough protein(ewww). My question is how did they learn how to farm did it come in a dream or just came to them just like that.

Advantages and disadvantages of New Guinea

I choose this headline because in New Guinea they don't have the environment to grow wheat and barley. The available food they can get is sago and taro. the problem is that sago takes a long time to turn into a kind of dough that they eat and its low on protein and taro rots quickly. Another disadvantage is that New Guinea does not have the animals that they can eat. The only protein they can eat are giant spiders. They don't have cows,sheep and goats like middle easterns do. The Natives of New Guinea have pigs. Which is good to eat but does not produce wool and fur. The advantages of New Guinea have productive crops and geographic luck.
