Question number 2

Papa New Guinea is not that technologically advanced and less wealthy then its neighbor countries Australia and New Zealand but why? I think I have the answer to that question, you see that Australia and New Zealand's flag both have the Union Jack on the upper left-hand corner, well this means that those countries were part of the British Common Wealth. This is important because, when the British came to Australia and New Zealand they used the islands for different purposes. Australia was were they sent most prisoners since the jails in the UK were overflowing. They used New Zealand for land and living because back then it would have been extremely hard for someone to buy some land in the UK these people were known as free settlers. Some of my relatives were free settlers and so other were convicts sent to Australia.

I bet you are asking questions like: So, what does that have to do with Papa New Guinea being less wealthy and technologically advanced? Well if you think about it, the UK they brought their technology to Australia and New Zealand, but the UK never colonized Papa New Guinea, which means that they never brought their technology to Papa New Guinea. One of the reasons why is because of the trade routes, Papa New Guinea just wasn't on the main trade routes, which means that technology was slow to get there, and if you have a lack of technology then you have no developing.

Papa New Guinea is a very rugged country. It has a lot of rainforest's and mountains which makes it difficult to get around the country. Right now Papa New Guinea is made up of a few towns and a small city most of the people live in the countryside, but there are still places there where Papa New Guineans live in a more primitive way, like hunting and eating pigs and building and living in a bamboo house. We, however, live in houses that usually have fans and ACs running. We needn't farm nor hunt, we go to the grocery store. So development with technology hasn't really happened yet, but as the world becomes a smaller place Papa New Guinea is more likely to catch up with the rest of world.
