Americans have done many things to change the world. One thing Americans have done is to explore space. We were the first to land an astronaut on the moon. We have conducted many scientific experiments in space. These experiments have influenced us on earth. One experiment dealt with how tissues regenerate in space, and how we can apply that knowledge here on earth.
We also impacted the world with the American Revolution. The Declaration of Independence has been used as a model by other nations as they fought for their freedom. Other nations have also modeled their governmental system after our system that was created by the Constitution. For example, the French Revolution was modeled after the American Revolution.
Americans have influenced businesses and industry. Henry Ford used the assembly line to manufacture cars. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs influenced the technology world. The Wright Brothers influenced the aviation industry. All of these ideas revolutionized their respective industries.
American entertainers and athletes have brought enjoyment to people’s lives throughout the world. Jerry Seinfeld is a famous comedian. Bruce Springsteen is a famous musician. Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong influenced the world of jazz. LeBron James is a famous basketball player.
American presidents have provided tremendous leadership for other leaders to model. Abraham Lincoln guided us through the Civil War. Franklin D. Roosevelt was instrumental in helping the Allies win World War II by developing many war policies and working closely with the Allied leaders. George Washington showed the world how to guide a new country through the beginning years of a new plan of government.
American scientists have discovered vaccines for diseases. Jonas Salk discovered the polio vaccine. Maurice Hillman developed the mumps vaccine. These vaccines have allowed many people to rest easier knowing their kids would be safe from these diseases.
Americans have made many contributions that have made lasting changes to our world.
