The Power of the Individual

The Crucible: john proctor- he changed society because he was going to let his wife pay for his mistakes because he wanted to make it seem like he lived a perfect life, but in the end he decided to let it be known and he got hanged.  

The Night Thoreau Spent in jail: Henry David Thoreau- He changed society because he didn't have the same beliefs as everybody else and he was willing to go to jail for what he believes in.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Huck changed society because he helped a "runaway slave" when nobody else would and he grew as a person throughout the whole book.

Science and Technology

Science and technology are seen as progress and I do believe that they are, but there is also a down side of the two. Science says that there is a big bang theory and the Bible says that God created the world and that is a big argument today. I personally believe that God is the Creator so for someone to say different upsets me a little bit, but they have the right to their opinion. Technology is definitely a progression. If we did not have the technology we have today, it would be hard for us to get around and communicate with each other. At the same time there are some new things in technology that are nice to have, but are not needed.
