Scientific Contributions and Diversity

Scientists come from all walks of life....

Introduction
The human culture has come a long way since we first came to earth. We didn't advance technologically or economically by just one culture. We had to get help from all different cultures from all over the world.

Science Advancements
We have gotten to the point where we are advancing so much with help from Russia and China and other countries that we can just about invent anything you can imagine. The different cultures have different ideas and different supplies to help us create so we get help.

If we did not get help than we would have never gotten this far. If you notice, the architects and builders at amusement parks have different cultures. Some of the best rides have been created by many different cultures.
