In your opinion which person in human history has made the most lasting impression and why?

Similar questions: opinion person human history made lasting impression.

The question is the "most lasting" impression, therefore, we could say King Scorpion, since he is believed to have commissioned the first written word. However, his name was lost for millenia, so his impression can't have been that lasting, and it wasn't the only alphabet to be independently developed. Alexander has inspired men for many generations, but his Empire split and was conquered piece by piece until there was nothing left.

While Greece and Macedonia still fight over to which he belongs, his Empire and ultimately, his legacy was fleeting compared to others. Perhaps we could say Moses, but he was the lawgiver really only of one people. A small race, relatively obscure throughout history, but one that has managed to survive and flourish, despite persecution.

We might say Caesar, for his name lived on into the 20th century as a King or Emperor. Constantine, whose call to council brought us Nicea and what we call today Orthodoxy? But what would that be without it's founder in the first place.

I submit to the community, the single historical person with the greatest influence was Ieshua ben Ioseph of Nazareth, the Galilean we call Jesus Christ. Here are my reasons: 1) Despite however you feel about him as a divine figure, you know something about who he was and what he did. 2) Despite however you feel about him as a divine figure, his followers today have exceeded a billion by a fair margin.

3) The religion that sprang up around him was the foundation of the preservation of the Western European, while divided up into warring tribes, yet still effectively conquered the world, spreading that religion to all parts of the globe.4) The religion that sprang up around him has changed the very nature of the culture of the Western European and all those whom it has touched.To a greater extent, we as a culture value humility, honesty, and caring. There is no group more civic minded, more charitable per capita than Christians. This is not boastful statements, there is research to back this up.It was Christians armored with faith who stood up to bring about the Enlightenment.

It was Christians of the 2nd Great Awakening who first called for an end to Slavery in the United States. It was Christians who saw the brutality of the institution and fought to end it worldwide. Even the Saudis, Muslim Arabs, were finally forced to outlaw slavery in the 1960's.

Were things things Jesus' intent? Only he knows, but it happened, largely because of him. I could go on, of course, but there is not time nor space to express how influential this one man has been, both for good and, unfortunately, for ill.

Martin Luther(Protestant Reformation ) and Martin Luther King (The Civil Rights Movement)... (Honorable Mentions: Julius Caesar, Henry V, Confucius, and Alexander the Great) Martin Luther(Protestant Reformation ) and Martin Luther King (The Civil Rights Movement)... No two individuals have done for for mankind's personal freedoms in the past five-hundred years than these two men... Martin Luther(10 November7 - 10 November) and Dr. Martin Luther King(10 November8-April 4, 1968) Martin Luther Martin Luther (10 November7 - 10 November) was a Christian theologian and Augustinian monk whose teachings inspired the Protestant Reformation and deeply influenced the doctrines of Protestant and other Christian traditions. Martin Luther was born to Hans and Margaretha Luder on 10 November 1483 in Eisleben, Germany and was baptised the next day on the feast of St. Martin of Tours, after whom he was named. Luther’s call to the Church to return to the teachings of the Bible resulted in the formation of new traditions within Christianity and the Counter-Reformation in the Roman Catholic Church, culminating at the Council of Trent.

S translation of the Bible also helped to develop a standard version of the German language and added several principles to the art of translation. Luther's hymns sparked the development of congregational singing in Christianity. On 10 November9, to Katharina von Bora, a former nun, began the tradition of clerical marriage within several Christian traditions.

Martin Luther's Death Martin Luther escaped martyrdom, and died of natural causes. S last written words were, "Know that no one can have indulged in the Holy Writers sufficiently, unless he has governed churches for a hundred years with the prophets, such as Elijah and Elisha, John the Baptist, Christ and the apostles... We are beggars: this is true. " Martin Luther King The Nobel Peace Prize 1964 In 1954, Martin Luther King accepted the pastorale of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama.

Always a strong worker for civil rights for members of his race, King was, by this time, a member of the executive committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the leading organization of its kind in the nation. He was ready, then, early in December, 1955, to accept the leadership of the first great Negro nonviolent demonstration of contemporary times in the United States, the bus boycott described by Gunnar Jahn in his presentation speech in honor of the laureate. The boycott lasted 382 days.

On 10 November7, after the Supreme Court of the United States had declared unconstitutional the laws requiring segregation on buses, Negroes and whites rode the buses as equals. During these days of boycott, King was arrested, his home was bombed, he was subjected to personal abuse, but at the same time he emerged as a Negro leader of the first rank. In 1957 he was elected president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an organization formed to provide new leadership for the now burgeoning civil rights movement.

The ideals for this organization he took from Christianity; its operational techniques from Gandhi. In the eleven-year period between 1957 and 1968, King traveled over six million miles and spoke over twenty-five hundred times, appearing wherever there was injustice, protest, and action; and meanwhile he wrote five books as well as numerous articles. In these years, he led a massive protest in Birmingham, Alabama, that caught the attention of the entire world, providing what he called a coalition of conscience.

And inspiring his "Letter from a Birmingham Jail", a manifesto of the Negro revolution; he planned the drives in Alabama for the registration of Negroes as voters; he directed the peaceful march on Washington, D.C. , of 250,000 people to whom he delivered his address, "l Have a Dream", he conferred with President John F. Kennedy and campaigned for President Lyndon B. Johnson; he was arrested upwards of twenty times and assaulted at least four times; he was awarded five honorary degrees; was named Man of the Year by Time magazine in 1963; and became not only the symbolic leader of American blacks but also a world figure.At the age of thirty-five, Martin Luther King, Jr., was the youngest man to have received the Nobel Peace Prize.

When notified of his selection, he announced that he would turn over the prize money of $54,123 to the furtherance of the civil rights movement. On the evening of April 4, 1968, while standing on the balcony of his motel room in Memphis, Tennessee, where he was to lead a protest march in sympathy with striking garbage workers of that city, he was assassinated.

Jesus That is easy. Jesus. Because Jesus is the son of God.

He was not and is not just a history figure. Everything He ever did came true. He arose from the dead and He will return again..

Pope John Paul II He was such a kind and compassionate man. Even if you are not a member of the catholic church, you have surely seen and/or read about this man. S teachings were very simple, yet he knew how to make them fit in a modern society.

God bless him in his home in heaven.

Tler I think tler has made the most lasting impression on human history for a few reasons. One, because of him, World War II began, and this war involved so many countries and deaths from all over the world. And, probably, most important, was because he initiated the holocaust, having 6 million Jews killed in genocide.

The name of tler makes people cringe. So many people were tortured and murdered because of him. Yes others did the killings, but they did it in I just don't think history will ever forget that man, nor ever put him in a good light.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
