WHILE HE WAS A TODLER EINSTEIN STILL WASN’T TALKING AND ON THE CONTRARY HIS MOTHER THOUGHT HE WAS A FREAK. EINSTEIN WAS NOT THE MINGLING TYPE SO HIS MATES AND OTHER CHILDREN CALLED HIM “BROTHER BORING” SO HE WAS ALL BY HIMSELF. HE ALWAYS HAD A PASSION IN MECHANICAL TOYS

EINSTEIN AND HIS FAMILY. ON TOP FATHER HERMANN EISTEIN , DOWN RIGHT MOTHER PAULINE KOCH , DOWN LEFT ALBERT EINSTEIN AND HIS SISTER MAJA EINSTEIN.

EINSTEIN WAS NOT A BAD PUPIL AS HE SCORED GOOD MARKS IN ALMOST EVERY SUBJECT. Einstein hated the regimented environment of his school in Munich WERE HE MOVE WHEN HE WAS 15 MONTHS OLD. He always argued with his teachers. His mind was not made for the normal strict and disciplined environment of a school. That is why he left school to enjoy his independence. Switzerland was more liberal than Munich. Einstein must have hoped to find a less stifling environment in Switzerland compared to that in Munich. So he wanted to study in Switzerland.
EINSTEIN WAS HIGHLY GIFTED IN MATHS AND PHYSICS SO AFTER FINISHING HIS STUDIES HE DEDICED TO STUDY AT A UNIVERSITY IN ZURICH WERE HE MET AND FELT INTERESTED WITH A COLLEAGUE MILEVA MARIC WHO WAS A SERB WHOM HE SAW AS AN ALLY AGAINST THE PEOPLE WHO OPPOSED HIM.

    Einstein addresses Phyllis personally and simply, he does not refer to anyone else. When Einstein declares that “scientific research is based on the idea that everything that takes place is determined by laws of nature, and therefore this holds for the actions of people,” he involves his passion for science and what his ideas are based upon appealing to the passion of his audience. Einstein also speaks of man’s modest powers and about feeling humble whether in the face of a superior spirit or nature especially when he states “a spirit vastly convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe –a spirit vastly superior to that of a man, and one in the face of which we, with our modest powers must feel humble.” The writer Einstein looks at both sides of the argument and admits that science is imperfect. He relates the laws of nature to a sort of faith. He assumes that most people have a belief in a “higher power” regardless of its manifestation, meaning he is offering logic to Phyllis. For the reason that Einstein addresses Phyllis a sixth-grade student his diction is simple to a degree that it makes sense to her.…

    Einstein’s Point of View When you think of Albert Einstein what do you imagine? A crazy, old chemist with white hair that stands straight up? Well, Albert Einstein was a chemist with crazy white hair, but he also was a chemist who wanted to help America with the use of his knowledge and different point of view. In his letter to President F.D. Roosevelt, he uses his knowledge and outside perspective of the subject of uranium to address the problems with the element and ways to improve.…

    We have praised Einstein over the past decades for his successful inventions due to the mass of knowledge he upholds. Although, what most people do not know is that he is the reason we have atomic bombs today. After the United States order to bomb Japan with an atomic bomb, Einstein lived with regret. Einstein observed the thousands of lives taken away with his creation and the destroction it left behind. He once said that he wished he had never ever created the "atomic bomb." Like I said before how much knowledge is too much to realize that it becomes a powerful weapon,…

    The main reason why Einstein permanently moves to the U.S is because he was no longer safe in Germany. German anti-Semitism was on the rise, especially after Hitler’s National Socialist party began taking over the political power of Germany in 1930, which further encourage hostility towards German Jews.

    Young Albert tried to imagine the mysterious force that caused the compass needle to move, and the experience awakened a sense of wonder that stayed with him for life. Understanding the universe became an "eternal riddle" for Einstein, a quest for scientific enlightenment. "The road to this paradise was not as comfortable and alluring as the road to the religious paradise," he wrote, "but it has proved itself as trustworthy, and I have never regretted having chosen it."- www.amnh.org/exhibitions/einstein/life/ Albert Einstein was a poor student and although he did not earn top grades in every subject, he excelled at math and science. "It is, in fact, nothing short of a miracle," he wrote, "that the modern methods of instruction have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry." Schilpp, 1970. p. 17. Being fiercely independent, even as a young boy, Albert had already developed a deep distrust of authority. He challenged not only his teachers but also long-standing mathematical and scientific "givens," such as ancient Greek rules of geometry and laws of physics established by other scientists. Ironically, Einstein's questioning and resulting breakthroughs eventually turned him into an authority…

    Einstein’s quote is accurate because when people are given the privilege of knowledge, they are also given the responsibility to educate and assist in improving their communities. Luis Suarez’s article “Why Do I Share My Knowledge” says humans are always “bound to share what [they] know with others, so that our learning curve never becomes flat.” Suarez is stating that as long as humans who are given the privilege to know…

    Considering the fact that Einstein is a name known throughout the world and is one of the most legendary scientists known to man, Einstein establishes ethos right away. He has what you could call, “automatic ethos.” Most people wouldn’t dare to doubt a Nobel-prize winner. Having that in mind, Einstein has a strong amount of credibility to speak on behalf of science and religion through his perspective. Einstein also uses ordinary jargon that any average human could understand, causing people to think highly of him. “It must be admitted our actual knowledge of these laws is only imperfect and fragmentary.” By using words such as “our”, Einstein preserves his ethos by establishing himself as a common man, instead of the Nobel-prize winner. This helps his audience relate to his points.…

    Einstein became an American citizen in 1940. Not long after settling into his career at the Institute for Advanced Study (in Princeton, New Jersey), he expressed his appreciation of the "meritocracy" in American culture when compared to Europe. According to Isaacson, he recognized the "right of individuals to say and think what they pleased", without social barriers, and as result, the individual was "encouraged" to be more creative, a trait he valued from his own early education. Einstein writes:…

    His IQ (intelligence quotient) was one hundred sixty. A normal IQ ranges from about eighty five to one hundred fifteen according to the Stanford-Binet test. At the age of only twenty-six, Einstein had already came up with the quantum theory of light, the theory of special relativity, and he proved the existence of atoms. Einstein had come up with many of his own theories and society didn't agree with him because it was different from the way they did things. They looked down on him because of the way he rebelled.…
