There is an old adage that says that the three most important factors in the real estate market are "location, location, location." In episode one of Guns, Germs, and Steel, Jared Diamond makes the case for location as the decisive factor in shaping the destiny of civilizations. Some have criticized Diamond's analysis for being overly deterministic--essentially for arguing that the triumph of certain civilizations was inevitable due to geography. Do you believe that history is basically determined by factors, like geography, that are beyond the control of individuals? Or rather do you believe that individual decisions and individual actions have a greater effect on the course of history and the rise and fall of civilizations?

For this assignment you have two tasks:

1. In at least 150 words, post your own opinion. Please use examples from Guns, Germs, and Steel or the books or lectures from this class to support your opinion.
