"I LOVE KEVIN"

I thing all of the presadens are very graet to me and to the world and the people that don't care about the preasedent's ''I HATE THEM!!''

There are alot of great people. There isn't any greatest person. A person doesn't have to be well-known or affluent or powerful to be great. A great person just have to touch our life in a good way. We all know that people like Albert Enstein, Thomas Edison, Martin Luther King, Jr.,Helen Keller, ect. are all great people. They have improve the world and make it a better place to live. I admire them. However, the "great people" that touch ur own life, shouldn't it be your parents or guardians? After all, without parents, where would Albert Einstein, Martin Luther King, Jr., ect. be??? So I think parents are just as great as those people too.

Mary Baker Eddy was described by Human Life magazine in 1907, as "the most famous, interesting and powerful woman in America, if not the world." How did this woman rise from obscurity to become publisher of a six-time Pulitzer Prize winning newspaper, The Christian Science Monitor; author of a 90-year best seller, Science and Health; and a pioneer of mind-body connection?

Eddy (1821-1910) was born and raised on a farm near Concord, New Hampshire, in the United States. Because of many bouts of illness, she received most of her education at home, sometimes with the help her brother, Albert, a student at Dartmouth College. This turned out to be an advantage, given the many restrictions on women’s education in 19th century America.

She experienced some difficult years as a young woman. She was widowed (and pregnant) six months into her first marriage. Some six years later, her family, thinking her rambunctious son was too taxing for her, removed him from her and sent him to live with foster parents. Hoping to regain a stable home life for herself and her son, she married again, but eventually divorced her unfaithful second husband. In poor health during much of this time, she experimented with allopathic medicine and alternative therapies – particularly with homeopathy. She was seeking an understanding of the relationship between mind, body, and spirit. Simultaneously, she continued a life-long study of the Bible searching to uncover its promise of spiritual healing.

At age 44, in what marked a turning point, she was healed of a life-threatening accident through spiritual insights gained from the Bible. Over the next few years she studied the Scriptures deeply, looking for a spiritual system behind the healing works of Christ Jesus. She tested what she was learning by healing other people, including some considered medically incurable. She also taught others to heal using this system, which she later called: "Christian Science." She called it "Science" because she saw it as the provable, universal laws of God.

Because Eddy's ideas seemed so radical – challenging conventional, patriarchal theological views – she faced much opposition and prejudice. For a number of years, she was forced to move frequently – as many as nine times within a twelve-month period. She even returned home to find all her belongings in the street on one occasion.

In 1875, she published the first edition of Science and Health (later renamed Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures); a major work on practical spirituality that explains Christian Science. Two years later she married her third husband, Asa Gilbert Eddy, a kindred spirit who wholeheartedly supported her work and ideas.

While the first part of Eddy's life seemed to be mostly searching, the second part of her life was devoted to sharing her ideas as she herself continued to explore their meaning and impact. Although nearly sixty, she remained driven by an inner spiritual strength, which gave her the independence and stability to break through social, civil, medical, and theological barriers of the time. Her pioneer work continued, as she went on to found a church, a college, a publishing company, and a newspaper.

Readers of Science and Health began forming book discussion groups where they also shared testimonies of healing. As the groups began to grow, a more permanent structure and organization was needed. So Eddy founded a church in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1879, serving as its pastor for about ten years. Several years later she ordained the Bible and Science and Health as its pastor. This opened the way for both women and men to conduct church services, reading from these books. (Today local branch churches, known as Churches of Christ, Scientist, have been opened in over seventy countries around the world.)

Later, she established the Massachusetts Metaphysical College to teach others her system of healing – including doctors, lawyers, businessmen, and homemakers. This was the first college, of this type, established in the United States and she taught over 4000 men and women over seven years.

Widowed after five years of marriage, she went on to start a monthly magazine and was its first editor. Eventually, she established a publishing company, and added a weekly magazine to its publications.

And at age 87, she founded The Christian Science Monitor. This international newspaper was intended to combat the yellow journalism of the day, its motto being, "to injure no man, but to bless all mankind."

Eddy’s ideas about the connection between the mental and spiritual basis of health and wellness are as timely as ever. They are reflected in today's research by physicians and scientists. Her book, Science and Health, has sold over 10 million copies, with close to two million in just the last five years of the twentieth century. It has been translated into 16 languages and was voted by the Women's National Book Association as one of "75 books by women whose words have changed the world."

In 1995, Eddy was recognized for her many achievements and inducted in the National Women's Hall of Fame. In 2002, The Mary Baker Eddy Library for the Betterment of Humanity will open to researchers, scholars, and the public, allowing access to hundreds of thousands of documents and artifacts. It will house one of the largest multi-disciplinary collections by and about an American woman.

I have to do a speech on significant person in the 20th century, and I am unable to think of anyone. Could anyone possibly help me think of someone.

Thanks

I think our former president, Bill Clinton, was great. No one had any right to judge on his private life. He did a fine job on raising our country.

The Present as well as the Future is very important, execpt for our President BUSH :(

Life is so meaningful for every great person. No one can be the greatest without a sacrifice.
The prophet Muhammad is the greatest person forever, till the last day come. Even I never see him, but his paths still remain in my heart..

Does any one have any info on the childhood of Dewitt Clinton? Nee for a report. Thanks

Where is the Significant people in Sports????

I think the greatest person is Mother Teresa. She has helped many and touched hearts not only in india but in also the world. Truly a sad thing to her death. There is no one like her.

i think the greatest people of the world is teacher because they try there best to teach us
may be they can't done anything but they actually want to help us to have a higher living standard and have more knowledge
so i think all of the teacher in the world is the greatest!!!

it makes me proud that u've made such a great
web site for us to browse over!
HIHI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
everybody..............hoho.......!!

i am the greatest
ha ha ha

YOU !!!!!

Indeed, a truly marvellous question:
"What DOES 'great' mean?"
Great does not imply perfection, that would be simply inhuman. Great does not imply power, for most people would not jump to the defense of Hitler. Great does not imply fame, because the word just doesn't seem to go with Leonardo DiCaprio. I think the term "great person" would refer to someone who is full of compassionate humanity and so overflowing with it that it spills onto other people.
A truly great person is someone who tries hard in their lifetime to change the way the world works for the better. Einstein fits the description, so does Princess Diana, Mother Teresa, and Bill Gates
I don't believe that there is one single greatest person of this century. There are many, even a lot whom we don't even recognize because of limited exposure to media. But let's not base our judgements solely on media, as we sub-consciously tend to do. A truly great person has faults. They are not most perfect being on earth. After all, I don't think Diana knew why E=mc squared, and Einstein didn't have the looks for the camera.
To be human is to have faults and flaws, I think it's a good thing. And a truly great person can't even avoid having that.
They are after all, still human like us.

I believe that Gordon B. Hinckley should be chosen as the greatest person of the century. As the leader of a church spread in many countries over the world, and one of the fastest growing religions in the USA, he speaks of the importance of family in a world where such values seem to decrease rappidly.

Do i consider Hitler great? I some ways i do, in some i do not. His strength and power were great, but not in spirit and soul. He killed many people, and nowadays, we say that he is great? The same word we use to describe those who have acheived the almost-impossible, the same word used to described those who have done good. Neither of these represents Adolf Hitler. He was definitely a leader, and a mark in history, but not great.

Great people.
It really depends on what we consider as great.
It may refer to power, might. " Is Hitler Great?" - this was one of the discussion topics in the forum page. If we were to consider Hitler as a great person, our idea of great would be the ability to unite, control people; the power to conquer lands, extend territory. However, his "greatness" induced fear in his people. The purges he used to silence protesters, Jews, anyone he hated proved, a severe lack of humanity within him. Can he be considered great? A person without humanity, is he a person afterall?
When we talk about "great", we are likely to be referring to an extremely wonderful person, someone near perfectionism, who is capable of many abilities. In contrast, Mother Teresa wasn't someone with great intellectual skills or other distinct abilities; yet a certain charm exudes from her. She commands respect and admiration from the people. She has touched the hearts of many through her numerous acts of kindness. "Demonstrating God's love," that's what she called it. The fact that she is able to demonstrate love to the people worldwide left the world in awe of her greatness.
Bill Gates, perhaps, would be a classic example of a great person, with regard to the IT age. Microsoft office has become handy with sixty percent of computer users, and has conquered the computer realm. Knowledgeable, wealthy and successful, he is considered to be a great person. By the way, majority of us uses microsoft internet explorer and, not to mention, the easily accessible microsoft office. Should we attribute the success of IT solely to Bill Gates alone? Maybe not quite, but he deserves considerable recognition and applause for his effort. He proves to be someone great in this IT-savvy age.
To conclude, the world has been deeply impacted by great people. Their "greatness" vary; however the greatest person may not be a known personality but one who touches our hearts and make a sounding impact in our lifes.

Princess Diana (1961-1997)

When Lady Diana Spencer was plucked from obscurity at the age of 19 to marry Prince Charles, the heir to the British throne, few suspected that the shy nursery school teacher would become the most photographed woman in the world.

Once the world's press realised that her image boosted sales, she was hounded by photographers and journalists, with whom she had an ambiguous love-hate relationship. She realised that fame had one good use -- bringing media attention to a variety of causes. In 1987, she transformed public attitudes when she was photographed holding hands with an AIDS patient, at a time when police dealing with AIDS sufferers wore gloves.

After her marriage collapsed in 1992, her private life was subjected to even more media scrutiny. However, in 1997 the princess had stated that she felt ready to take on a fuller role on the international stage, so she could highlight the world's attention on causes which were close to her heart. In her visits to Bosnia and Angola she made a dramatic call for an international ban on landmines.

The summer of 1997 saw the princess blossom. It seemed she had found love in her relationship with Dodi Al Fayed. But her story ended in tragedy, though her death has since turned her into one of the 20th century's most enduring and powerful icons. •••

Harry S. Truman
(US President 1945-52)



President Truman is an admirable man of the 20th Century. He had to make a difficult decision to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki but I believe he made a good choice. If you don't know much about the atomic bombs, this site itself is a good place to find out. I would like to thank the authors of this site for the good write-up.

I found an informative article here:
Atomic Bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki
There's even some of the arguments supporting and rejecting the bombing:

Thinker, musician, scientist, activist. Albert Einstein is trully a Great Person of the Century.

As a child, educators saw Albert Einstein as a retard with no future. Who would have thought that his ideas and theories would revolutionize our perception of the physical world, that he would be an icon of the thinking man, or that his brain would be scrutinized and studied as that of a genius, fifty years on?

Einstein certainly had his fair share of struggles. Apart from his difficult childhood, Einstein was initially not a scientist by profession, and held a day job while conducting research in his spare time. His tenacity paid off in 1905, when he published three papers of extraordinary importance, including his Nobel Prize winning analysis of the photoelectric effect, and his famous Special Theory of Relativity.

During World War II, Einstein's Jewish background forced him to flee from the onslaught of the Nazis to the USA. Perhaps his most important contribution to humanity was his letter to US President Roosevelt, warning of the looming threat of a German developed atomic bomb and urging the Americans to counter it. We shudder to think what might have resulted if Einstein had not the boldness and foresight to intervene at this crucial juncture. Einstein had changed the course of history.

Einstein's story is of one who overcame the odds, who single-handedly redefined the rules of Physics and who ushered in the Nuclear Age through his pioneering work, earning him the admiration of many. Importantly, Einstein championed world peace. He did not want nuclear power to be used for destructive purposes. That makes him all the more, a remarkable man.
