3 People Who Impacted the World – By Melody

I believe a citizen makes a positive impact in the world. Three people I believe exhibit the qualities of a citizen are Susan B. Anthony, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson.

Susan B. Anthony fought for women to have the same rights as men. She was part of the women’s suffrage movement in the United States. Because of her outstanding work, women gained the right to vote and are equal to men.

George Washington was the first President of the United States. He led us to victory in the American Revolutionary War.

Thomas Jefferson was the third President of the United States. His most famous impact on the world was Jefferson writing the Declaration of Independence. Because of Jefferson’s work, we broke free from British rule and became our own nation.

There are many great examples of citizens of the world. However I am going to be writing about only 3. These three examples are Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln and Mohandas Gandhi. These three men made huge contributions to make the world what it is today.

Benjamin Franklinis known world wide because of his famous kite experiment. This experiment helped us understand more about electricity then ever before. It also lead to the invention of the lightning rod. Benjamin Franklin was not only a very dedicated scientist but also very involved in politics. Being one of the founding fathers of the United States, he a great part of the Independence of the United States. Franklin not only signed the Declaration Of Independence, but he was an editor of the draft that was sent to him by Thomas Jefferson.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi known worldwide as Mahatma Gandhi was a spiritual leader of India. He was part of the Indian Independence Movement. Gandhi believed in non-violent protest and truth. He was always trying to encourage others to do the same and follow his peaceful ways. Even though he was a part of many wars throughout the world, he was always dis-encouraging generals and even armies to back off from an attack. Even though he faced many types of discrimination and racial attacks, he never fought back with violence. He employed non-cooperation, non-violence and peace full resistance as his weapons to fight back to what he believed was wrong. Even though he was a peace full man, he was brutally assassinated.

Abraham Lincolnwas the sixteenth president of the United States. He lead the Union of the north against the confederates of the south. Even though he was the leader of the war he was fighting for the liberation of the slaves. He fought a long civil war which eventually lead to the signing of the emancipation proclamation. This proclamation liberated all the slaves from their plantations and made them free. Lincoln however was not able to see this come true as he was shot before the war came to an end.

I believe that the people above were citizens of the world because of the positive impact. They have made great discoveries, lead peace full movements and liberated thousands. Two of the people above were killed because people were all not agreeing with what they believed.

It can mean a lot of things to different people to be a citizen of the world. For example, participating. Whether you’re voting for president, paying taxes, or volunteering in your community, you are a citizen of both your area, and the world. Educators, health care professionals, and even business managers interact with people every day, and therefore play their part in their own way. Being respectful of your environment, and that can mean anything from planting a garden to cleaning up the local beach, is another way to interact, participate, and be a citizen of the world.

I was presented with a question that made me think very deeply. The question was: What Does It Mean To Be A Citizen Of The World?? In my opinion being a citizen of the world means that we live and interact here. Everyday that we are here, we some how impact the world. Some people impact it a little but some make major changes. These changes can be anything from major pollution to using enviormeantaly friendly products. Being a citizen of the world also means the way the we deal with the people around us and the way that we respond to what is going on around the world. Many things that happen around the world can affect the lives of people everywhere. One example of this is war; war can not only affect the countries participating in it but the allies or trading partners of the countries. Being a citizen of the world comes with a lot of rights and responsibilities including voting, doing your share of cleaning up and paying for your mistakes.

A citizen is defined as an inhabitant of a particular place. Basically, a resident of a city or town. I believe everyone can be a citizen in their town, city, state or even the world. As a citizen though, I feel we have certain responsibilities to maintain and uphold. I think citizens should vote (when they are 18 or older) and get involved in their community and the issues. Citizens should contribute back to society and take part in it. For example, children should go to school and adults should work to help make the world run. Whether you play a minor or major role in the world everyone is a citizen.

Being a citizen of the world is all about being a part of something. You can be considered a citizen if you live in a home, have a family, or pay taxes. But, what i consider a citizen of the world is someone who interracts and connects with their communites and government; people who use what they know to help others and their community. The way you communicate with people, the respect you have for the environment, and how much you participate in the community are just some of the duties people have when being a good citizen of the world.
