Who is a Great Human Being
We have strted a new Unit of Exploration called the "Living Histrory" where we have to select one of the great humans that have achived something for the humankind. In this world there have been many pwople who have achived something for the world. But we have to pick 3 that really stand out from the rest, the 3 who have achieved more. From my opinion i think that the three persons that i would niminate for the greatest are: Pope John Paul the second, Saint Joan of Arc, and Anne Hutchinson.
Pope John Paul II was the first pope to start linking the orthodox and catholic church. He was once tried to be assassinated by an man from Pakistan. When the pope received he led the assasinator from jail and led him free. He was appealing for peace all around the world and that there is no more war. Saint Joan of Arc who was a hero in the dark medieval times when the church was the main law and the religion had a very strict and rigorous law, she said that god had spoken to her and she gave some of the predictions that later came true. She was burned on stake considered as a witch. and the third Anne Hutchinson who was to me one of the greatest women in our history.She was claimed to be the witch who had to be killed immediately. But in court by her great deft she claimed herself not be a witch and she was freed. However she was killed by a Indian massacre which happened in today's Bronx, New York, New England.However I chose Marshal Josip Broz Tito as my living history whom I think was a great leader and politician, and a hero of the Yugoslav people.
