    what exactly is a hero? Who can be classified as heroic? From my perspective a hero is not only someone who wears a cape, has superhuman strength, wears fancy clothes or someone who saves his lady from the bad guy; however he is someone who stands for strength, bravery, humbleness, justice and equality. I believe a hero is someone who truly intends to make the world a better place for all people. He stands for what he believes in even though he may encounter danger and obstacle. We often watch movies with action heroes fighting for a good cause, but these heroes cause us ignore the real life heroes such as Cesar Chavez and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Cesar Chavez and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr are genuinely the definition of a hero.…

    Andrew Carnegie was both a Robber Baron and a Captain of Industry. Growing up as an immigrant, who started with nothing at all, he became greedy with his money. He was a big business leader who builds up the community but treated his workers poorly. Carnegie created thousands of jobs for people but did not provide his workers with safety equipment and had many of them work in dangerous conditions. He helped out the community in many ways but still treated his workers/people poorly.…

    In the decades following the civil war, The United States followed the example set by many European countries, and used industry to catapult the nation’s wealth. The lives of the general public were greatly impacted by this shift from agriculture to industry and this time became known as the Gilded Age. Railroads, steel mills, factories, and other forms of industry dominated the economy. One of very few men to accept this change in the U.S., Andrew Carnegie overcame his humble underpinnings and became the owner of one of the largest steel companies in the nation. Many poor laborers and citizens of limited means did not reap the benefits of the industrial age as a result of poor working and living conditions in this time. Mr. Carnegie wrote the article, The Gospel of Wealth, in response to the many critics of the Gilded Age.…

    Famous thinkers can come from all walks of life and can be from our generation and others. Reaching goals can be done in many ways. The similarity famous thinkers is that they are all share creative minds and are all creative thinkers. Creative ideas are the foundation of creative process (Goodman & Fritchie, 2011). Famous thinkers base their ideas on searching for solutions to problem, need, or the way others think or view specific issues. When I think of famous thinkers a vast number of people come to mind. Two thinkers that genuinely stand out to me are Steven Spielberg & Grace Hopper. My article will provide more details on the influence and accomplishments of these great thinkers.…

    During this time in America inventions of better and more sufficient ways of transportation, building, and communication were being discovered or invented. All around America businesses were popping up and men would be walking away filthy rich. But what defines a man to be a hero? Is it how much money he has, the way he grew up, what he did for others, or dying for his country? Andrew Carnegie was no Ulysses Grant but he was also not Vanderbilt, Carnegie gave back to his country with the riches he earned. We cannot look upon Carnegie as being the child with the silver spoon in his mouth growing up. He was poor growing up and was business savvy which is how he became rich. We should not punish him for using his knowledge to become successful but we should look at what he did with the money. Andrew Carnegie was a hero, he not only brought the steel idea to America but with his riches he gave back.…

    In my research I did not find any information that would indicate Gary Larson made any unique contributions to society as a critical thinker. If anything I would categorize him as an abstract thinker. His fortune and fame were derived from the humor derived from a unique view of common well known items. For example in one of his cartoons Larson’s topic is a “Boneless Chicken Ranch” deriving humor from the abstract thought that there is a species of chicken that does not have bones which provides the boneless chicken products humans consume ("Pun Of The Day", (n.d.)). I suppose in this respect Larson’s cartoons caused amusement through a sort of naiveté, or the absurd.…

    Albert Einstein was a theoretical physicist born in Germany in 1879. He developed many scientific breakthroughs, which impacted the world as it is today. His mass-energy equivalence formula was crowned the most famous equation. In 1921 he received the Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect. The name Einstein has become practically synonymous with the word genius. Einstein once said, “The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has it’s limits.”. Einstein was a creative man, this led him to be such an innovative scientist. In 1955, Einstein died from an abdominal aortic aneurysm. A study of Albert Einstein shows that he was a very controversial man, due to his involvement in the creation of the atomic bomb, the possibility that he was autistic, and his scandalous personal life.…

    The rise of capitalism was characterised by exploitation and opportunity. Opportunities, if taken at the chance, enabled men to access wealth. Andrew Carnegie is the perfect example of an entrepreneur and man who built the roots of American infrastructure. He can also lived the ‘perfect’ American dream. He has a typical ‘rags to riches’ story, which makes him a historical icon and an admirable man. Carnegie is known to have built a fortune on steel. However, the ways in which he made money could be considered an abuse to ethics and moral rights. Toward the end of his life, Carnegie decided to use his wealth for the greater good of the community and encouraged learning. For the above reasons, he can be considered as a robber baron, but I believed that he also worked for the greater good of human nature.…
