Ten things that changed the world- 20th century

  • Discovery of Penicillin

    Discovery of Penicillin
    Although Penicillin was deiscovered by accident it greatly impacts all of our world's. It helps reduce the amount of deaths and amputaion, and is an antibiotic. This discovery greatly contributed to medical knowledge, and personally impacted me because it is used in gauze for everyday injuries. So if it was not invented when we were young whenever we would get a cut or fall down without that sterile gauze it would have had to be amputated.
  • 'Black Tuesday'

    'Black Tuesday'
    The stock market crash of 1929 greatly impacted my life. Due to the fact that my father and family used to live in the US until I was four the stock market crash impacted my fathers work life and thus impacted my life. It also impacted the US as a whole as there have been minor depressions since trhen.

    Nakba
    This day is the dependence day of Israilis on which they kicked out all of the Palestinians and killed them and exhiled them and tortured them out of their land. Learning about this event made me think of the injustice around the world and the way that greed rules us.

  • Cell Phone

    Cell Phone
    On that fabulous day the cell phone was made. Let me first state that the world would not be the way that it now is without the cell phone. Even we would not be the way we are without it. For one, we would be much more athletic because we would have to run everywhere to tell people things.
