EARLY MEN or MODERN K.L












The idea about “Wall of thoughts” is amazing to me I think it helps people express their feelings and give their opinions. As Mr. McQueen said there is no right or wrong answer and i agree with his comment. We were talking about the difference and similarities between early man and K.L while our discussion we came up with different things such as Krithika (my peer) said “I think it was harder for the early humans to use either their resources or solve problems than now because, things are easier to use now cause they are planned before hand” and indeed that was a true statement. In comparison to that Vidya (another peer) said that it is hard for us because these days things are more complicated. Another true statement but my thinking is different. I think that the source of food was somewhat similar because both early men and people of K.L used to eat fruit and vegetables and still do. I commented on use of water and Mr. McQueen said that river water was purified back then but we made it dirty so now it has to actually go through a purification system and I think that is a fact, and this made me think that we modern humans actually are destroying the earth also known as “GLOBAL WARMING”.


Transportation, Government, Communication and Belief Systems to me has taken a big step in making K.L what it is. Transportation because in our list the only thing that is listed in the Early Men Column for transportation is FEET, WALKING AND RUNNING, and for Modern K.L its BICYCLES, TRUCKS, CARS, BIKES, HORSE, CARRIAGE, WALKING, JOGGING, TRAINS, WHEELCHAIRS, CABLE CARS, SKATEBOARDS, ROLLERBLADES, SPEEDBOATS, SAILBOATS, SURFBOARDS, wow amazing isn’t it and as you probably know this is not all. Government because this group started with either a CHIEF OR CLAN which grew out to be what it is today: COURT, JURY, PEOPLE IN CHARGE, MINISTER, PRESIDENT, KING, MAYOR, PLACED RULER VERSUS ELECTED RULER and biggest of all which existed then and now TEAMWORK. Communication because almost every country has a different language but that isn’t all communication is also known as ROAD SIGNS, HAND MOVEMENTS, GESTURES, TALKING, WRITING, READING, INTERNET, BOOKS, MOVIES, VIDEO, LETTERS, EMAIL, BODY LANGUAGE, MIMING (From List) but early humans had a minimum of communication skills as referring to the list CAVE PAINTINGS, HAND GESTURES, SIGN LANGUAGE AND GRUNTS, NOISES. And last but not least Belief Systems to me this has been the biggest change. Every country has a different religion and it’s amazing how my school has 52 different nationalities all go to different to pray some go to churches, temples or mosques. This makes a connection to culture because the culture of your country has different rules and “BELIEF SYSTEMS”. Early Men had a different way of showing their belief systems, as we discussed they had ceremonies in a lot of religions there are still ceremonies but as we figured out they did not have any religion they all were the same but in modern days we have racism and we had segregation. War between 2 or more countries and slavery didn’t exist then.


Now if you compare these 2 categories (Modern K.L and Early Men) Modern K.L has had huge changes over these past years and to me this discussion was as interesting as a mystery ending in one of those Nancy Drew books.
