WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Warning!Warning!Warning! Some of the things that I said in my previous post might not have been true. A person in my condo told the hotel "Suria Cherating Beach Resort" (my hotel) has all of those things. And how do I know that not all of it is true? Well, some of the things he said my dad mentioned too. That is all I can say for today.
Kuantan here I come
In case you guys did not know, I am going to Kuantan. From my hotel room you can see a beautiful view of the sea. I saw a photo of the sea just yeaterday, the water is light blue. You can see through the water very easily. It's like I am going to Hawaii tommorow. Even though the ride is 5-6 hours the ride's gonna be a lot of fun. Because I am taking my iPod that has a cable that has two places where I can put two different sets of earphones. And if my music gets anoying I will watch a movie in my mini tv, my mini tv is silver and 1 foot wide and 3/4 of a foot high. Or the other way around, first the tv then the music. Anyway there is a huge pool with 1 or 2 slides, 2 tennis courts, a spa, a beach, 2 basketball courts, a field, a gym, 3 squash courts, 6 restaurants, two 102inch tv rooms, and the hotel itself is huge with a chocolate fountain inside. It's paradise. And it's a 5 star hotel that is so totally awesome. And I'm lucky to have such wonderful parents. THE END

Laws
I think civilizations have laws to protect people and to stop crimes. Because people need to live in order to preserve and create generations. If people were not protected they could all die and the civilization could be lost. Also some people smoke, drink alchohol, and use drugs. These habits are bad for health and should be prevented. Other people could do things much worse, for example burglary, murder which are crimes and such people should be punished to prevent further crimes. The laws help prevent bad effects from bad habits as well as protect people from crimes.
But I think Hammurabi's laws were too terrible and inhuman. They seem to have been designed to excessively punish rather than to prevent and protect. I mean just because the son hits his father doesn't mean that the father should cut of his arm. By inflicting such a heavy punishment, the father is not giving any opportunity for the son to improve. The son now has to live the life without an arm. This is neither good for the son nor for the father. There are many similar examples to show that Hammurabi's law were too cruel and are not relevant in 21st century.

What I Meant
What I meant by, "I think they don't want to develop because they want to keep their culture going," was they don't want to give up what they have and what they've worked for really hard. They want to farm and possibly get much healthier food. And as I said in my other post they must have realized that with a lot of medicine and doctors helping you to survive just makes you weaker even though you don't feel it at all. We are used to walking over to "Cold Storage" to get some meat. But we are weak when it comes to hunting for a deer in a rainforest or jungle. It's just not what people in civilized places do these days.

Connections, Extend, and Challanges (part 2)
I think the people in Papau New Guinea did not want to develop from what everyone once was to how people in Asia, Europe, and the Americas now live. With a lot of electronic technology and more newer and better cars. In Papau New Guinea they do have cars but not advanced cars. I think they don't want to develop because they want to keep their culture going. Or they promised that thy would always keep going with their culture. Or they realized that with more technology the more weaker they will get. But they want to keep themselves strong. So they won't be vulnerable to diseases.
Conections, Extended, and Challanges
-Conections-
When I was yet a little boy, I remember my grandfather farming everyday without stopping (he still does it). I helped my grandpa everytime he farmed. And he did it for only one simple reason. He did it to keep himself and his family alive. Why? Because his family was poor, he could not buy the most important things that keep a person alive, and their was a total of eleven people in the family, so life is hard for him. Sounds a bit like the people in Papa New Guinea. And since he was poor and very sick and old, he almost died a month ago, I think he was even in a hospital. And plus my grandpa is 77 years old.
-Extended-
It was very amazing and cool when they showed how the people lived before and still live now. They had to live on mostly the same thing, meat and wheat. But then they developed, and they developed pretty quickly. But when I saw the part how the people from Papa New Guinea live now. I am very not impressed. I thought they would at least invent more electronic things. Don't they realive that makes life much easier, BUT it makes us weaker.
-Challanges-
I could not understand a few of the big words. That is what made the movie less interesting for me, but the movie was still interesting for me. And it also stopped me from writing more and interesting things on the post I did a day ago. And I am still wondering how those people about 11,000-13,000 years ago even got the idea of making all these tools, and plaster, and houses. They must have 'thought cratively'. One of the SLR's. I should a little bit of the credit to Mr. McQueen because he told me it could have been 'thinking creatively'.

From Nothing To Civilization
I made up the headline "From Nothing To Civilization" because the movie is practically about what it was 13,000 years and what it is now. They showed how the people were surviving when they were not civilized. And later on we found out not all of what I said was true. Because basicaly in the movie the archeologists or something like that found a little village. There were houses with windows and plaster on the walls. That proofs how we, humans developed from absolutely nothing to a civilized and smart world. All we needed was to think really hard, and try new things. How did the people 10,000-13,000 years ago even now about plaster? Not many kids know, neither do I. But the guess some people in my humanities class had (including Mr. McQueen) said that one of them might have by accident dropped a rock too long in the fire, and then took it out, but there was no solid rock it was melted. It was plaster. That is how civilized we humans are, we keep on discovering new things.
