...Famous Thinkers Paper PHL/458 11/4/2013 Famous Thinkers Two famous thinkers are Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and William “Bill” Gates. I admire these two famous thinkers for the impact and influence they both have had on society. These two famous thinkers have contributed and positively affected many lives past and present. Both famous thinkers had to overcome hardships and use their creative minds to deal with challenges, obstacles, and issues. These two have changed and created their own history and legacy, which will be written in history books for the world to see. Contributions to Society Born Michael King Jr. in 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was the most recognized civil rights leader in history. His father was Baptist minister and raised him to follow in his footsteps as a minister as well. During the civil rights movement Dr. King headed a crusade to help Americans to gain the same human rights, despite their origin or skin color. Dr. King had numerous contributions to society and is remembered for his non-violent movement.

...Famous thinkers all have things that help them achieve greatness during their lives. Creative ideas are the foundation of the creative process (Goodman and Fritchie, 2011). When they run across a problem that needs to be resolved, this is when they start coming up with their ideas. They may look at the same problem and have different ways to solve them from other people. In this paper Bertrand Russell who was born in 1872 and died in 1970 along with Martin Luther King Jr. who was born in 1929 and died in 1968 will be examined. They used their own creative process to motivate people into seeing different issues their way. Each one of these men made contributions during difficult times. In this paper specific problems and ideas that these men sought to solve, and the plans they put into action to resolve these problems. Their ideas and solutions were met with opposition from people who did not like change. Some of their solutions were constantly being improved. A part of these solutions were logical solutions which allowed them to be accepted without much resistance. The way these two men thought had a huge impact on the way other people started to think, this helped to make the outcome of personal issues for the better. Russell dealt with analytical philosophy dealing with realism, and King was for fighting against inequality and the injustice of segregation. Being that they were two different men, they looked at things with different perspectives that others did not see. Both...

Four years later she became the first women to work for the Edmonton Hospital Board. The next thirty years for Emily’s life would be the hardest years of her life, but would finally give women the voice and the rights they deserved. In the year of 1916, Alberta had passed the Dawer Act, which gave women the right to inherit 33% of their husband’s property( Pettinger, Tejvan). Her next mission was to give women the right to vote, this was later accomplished in 1919.

After being declined by the Supreme Court that women were people, Emily moved to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in Britain which was the highest court appeal.

...Famous Thinkers PHL/458 14 April 2014 Instructor: Wendy Rusnock Twentieth Century Thinkers Beginning in the early 1900’s at the turn of the century, was a time of change, brilliance, dedication, and new-found technology. From quill pens to ink pens, horse and carriages to the earliest motor vehicles, the segregation of Blacks and Whites to the Civil Rights movement, handwriting important information on tablets to storing important information in a computers; the Twentieth Century saw a tremendous amount of positive contributions to society. Some contributions made in the last century are often over-looked and taken for granted. North Americans in particular have become a bit spoiled with all that is “just there.” What we have forgotten, and often needs reiterated is that without the integrity and dedication found in the creative minds of the Twentieth Century, the United States would be living as if it were still 1901 rather than 2011. This for many today would be considered the dark ages. There are various individuals that are responsible for the growth during this time period. Two of the most influential, though each had separate goals, were Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Bill Gates. Both individuals contributed a great amount and may have gone down in history as having changed the way the world thinks and worked personally, socially, and politically. Martin Luther King Jr. was arguably one of the most influential civil rights activists and speakers of the century...

...is very valuable and every moment should be cherished. Time cannot be hoarded, collected, earned or bought with money but should be cherished like we would cherish a precious gem or other possession. We know how to waste so many thing but the one thing that can't and shouldn't be wasted is time. I have found that keeping a paper as well as an electronic schedule has helped me from becoming overbooked and not overwork myself. And with me working a part time job, going to school part time, working at the church part time, and trying to write all of my papers and keep on track with all the things at the school; its mandatory that I keep up on all of it. Taking notes in class is very helpful for a person and can be very beneficial. I find that not just listening to what the teacher has to say but writing what is being taught helps me to grasp what I need to learn and makes you be a better listener. Taking notes of any subject will allow you to generate meaning for content in the course done exclusively by you. Plagiarism to me is the worst that you could possibly do. I would feel terrible if I had said or done something and it had become world famous and someone else had used it without even acknowledging that it was my work or...

...universities, including some famous universities; for example, M.I.T. and SUNY at Stony brook. In Professor Elbow’s two paragraphs, he described and explained the way to do a free writing and desperation writing, which were both helpful to reader writing in future. In short, free writing is doing an unplanned writing without stops and thinks. The main point of free writing was to keep writing, and try to not to make a stop. Also, writer didn’t need to edit the paragraph while in process writing; sometimes, it was even incoherent. And the non-edit function also became the advantage of free writing because most of time people were being stuck in how to write the paragraph right, which would omit the content of the paragraph. Therefore, Dr. Elbow encouraged writer to apply free writing to improve writing. In addition, free writing is considered a workout to the writing; the more you do the more your writing gets shaped. As to desperation writing, it is a method to help people who have had trouble writing; or to save people who were hard to produce a coherent speech or thought. The main point and key of this method is to keep writing as though you were drunk. Keep on doing this until you will find out that there are some usable materials on your paper. Moreover, you can take a piece of paper or pad or card to write down your ideas, feelings, thoughts, perceptions, etc. this would help you build up your writing ability as well. Afterwards, you reorganize the papers or cards and you will...

...is innocent of plagiarism because he demonstrates a high level of integrity, the faculty at Mailor Callow was unfair to him, and he naturally possesses a high level of intelligence. One reason that Jamal Wallace is innocent of plagiarism is that he demonstrates a high level of integrity. Jamal was receiving help on his writing from Forrester; however, Forrester requested that Jamal never tell anyone about him or the work that they were doing. When Jamal was accused of plagiarizing, he could have cleared up the charges immediately, but he demonstrated integrity and kept his promise to William. Additionally, the professor asked Jamal to write a paper in his office. Jamal could have told him he wouldn’t do it, but he wanted to show that he could. Unfortunately, Jamal was under too much pressure and wasn’t able to write the paper, but he still didn’t give up Forrester.

When I was young, I always knew that I wanted to become a writer someday, I would often write short stories. I have been a consistent academics performer in my school days. As a student I have learned so much stuff. Some of it was easy and some of it was a difficult.

My goals for where this essay is going to go has definitely changed from what I want to present and argue.

...today. They have contributed to our world civilization’s achievements in the fields of agriculture, shipping, astronomy, printing, oil, martial arts, ammunition, and mathematics. Ancient Chinese inventions such as gunpowder, silk, paper, printing, tea, wheel barrow, iron plows, deep drilling, porcelain, toilet paper and the compass were and still are important pieces of Chinese and global life. These inventions were major blocks in the building of the world that we know today. The four main innovations that I consider essential in our lives are printing, gunpowder, compass, and paper. The method of printing and woodblock, or movable, printing are considered ancient Chinese inventions. This ancient Chinese invention was seen before the first dated book in 868 (Lad). Printing books was time-consuming, as the blackline method used required a new block to be carved for each page. Movable type in printing was invented during the Song Dynasty. Movable Chinese characters were carved from wood, which could be arranged as needed and even reused. Later versions used clay, but these broke easily. During the Ming Dynasty, the wooden movable type was refined and books were printed using the two-color printing process. After the development of paper, printing was one of the most important inventions as it led to expansion in spreading stories, news, and knowledge. Another innovation that changed the world was gunpowder. Gunpowder is believed to be development as a by-product...
