Today in our Western Civilization class, we continued searching the internet (most "CIA" world fact book), to find more information on modern Papua New Guinea, with partners. About half way through the class we started sharing our information with the rest of the class. An important thing I learned was that they live in a democracy; this surprised me after watching Guns, Germs and Steel. I was shocked that they had a government at all. The information we found on Papua New Guinea seems very different than the footage we saw in the movie. Also, it was surprising to read that mostly all of their population practices some type of Christianity.
