SPC2608-8261 Group 4

 Valery Gonzalez  After listening to all the group presentations about historical change makers, I realized how much individuals from different time periods have helped shape the world we live in today. Each group focused on a different era, starting from the 1700s and ending with modern figures from the 2000s. What I liked about this project was that it allowed us to hear different perspectives and learn about important people in history through our classmates’ research and presentations. Instead of simply reading about these individuals in a textbook, we were able to see how each person impacted society and why they are remembered today. The first presentation discussed figures from the 1700s, many of whom were key leaders during the founding of the United States. Some of the people mentioned included George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and James Wilson. These individuals played important roles in the creation of the Constitution and th...

       This new project was a fun and interesting one as opposed to the previous one we did. Each group presented more interesting information alongside pictures of well known change makers from over the years who have contributed to the world we have today. The time periods range from the 1700's to the 2000's/todays time. The first group to present was group 3, presenting the 1700's era. They included change makers such as George Washington, Alice Paul, Alexander Hamilton, James Wilson, Benjamin Franklin, and James Madison. All these change makers were influential for this time period because they all contributed towards the coming of the Constitution and shaping American Laws. To begin, Naomy presented George Washington letting us know information about his past, his experiences growing up and serving as a general in war, and how he came to be the first president of the United States of America. The other couple change makers that were talked about, are also very w...

 Thoughts on Historical Figures   While this might go without saying, I think everyone did very well with going over their historical figures and giving the class their major impact on society ever since the 1700s to today. Even if it was with one action or aspect of society, or even more than just one, all of these figures did something to earn their fame in America's history. Starting off with Group 3, they went over some of the Founding Fathers like George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, James Wilson, Madison, and including Abigail Adams, who I found to be the most unique among them. That being said, it's no wonder that she would catch my attention the most, especially with the video that was tied to her. She saw during the American Revolution just how strong, capable, and resilient women could be despite how they are often perceived and treated during these times as I would assume, so she sought to make any change she could through her letters with her husband, asking him t...
