Formal Essay Topic 1 on Guns, Germs & Steel.
Diamond makes a particular argument for why some parts of the world got a head start in accumulating great wealth over time and why some have remained historically poor. Summarize his argument systematically by setting up an argument with a thesis statement in your introduction and by supporting it with evidence from Diamonds findings while citing those passages/ phrases where he states his points most clearly in the body of your paper. Your argument must be framed showing how ultimate explanations led to the development of proximate factors to support his claims. Your concluding paragraph must evaluate his argument–are you satisfied with it; why or why not? (3-4 pages, typed, 12 pt. font, 1″ margins and double spaced)
