Living History Week 1

Question

1. Whom (3 people for different areas/nations) would i consider to be a great human being why?

The 3 people that i would consider to be great would be first of all my living history person Michel Jordan which is considered one of the best basketball players of all time. He wasn't just a great player he was also a great humanitarian. He made many charities for a vast variety of groups and donated a lot of money and even got his basketball club to donate with him. He has his own care center which he personally runs were people can come in and do what they want with their time. He also has an yearly golf competition for charity. He is also inspirational and goes around the world to help people. The second person that i consider is great is Nikola Tesla. He contributed to the world so much and didn't except anything in return. He figured out a way to use electricity and wireless technology which is the basses of the world today. The third person that i think is great is Rosa Parks because she stood up for herself when everybody else was afraid and could never even dream of it.

2.Are there commonalities in the way which great human beings have lived and the choices they have made?

All of the great human beings have certain traits that make them they way they are, one of them is determination. With out determination nothing could be accomplished. If people were not determined then we could not accomplish anything. The second trait is you have to be brave. You have to be willing to share you idea even if no one even believes you.

3. What are 3 things (aside from what he /she is known for) that would make my top living history pick a strong entry into a museum.

The three things i found out about Michael Jordan is that he is also known for being a good humanitarian and businessmen. He contributed much of his salary to  charity and convinced the Chicago bulls to also donate. The second thing is that he is inspirational. He was never good at basketball at a young age and didn't even get in the basketball team which made him more determinate to make it in his basketball team. The last thing is that he was an author. He wrote many books about different things even though he played basketball.

Micheal Jordan
He was born in Brooklyn, new York on February 17 1963. His mother and father were James and Deloris, none of his parents had a sports career or even played sports at all. His father was a mechanic and his mother was a banker. The streets of Brooklyn were not safe enough to raise their children which they had 5. After that he didn't grow up playing sports. He played baseball and catch which his father and decided to start playing basketball in high school.

  1. Michael Jordan is an idol for many people :)I can't believe he didn't make the basketball team :P He was so good! But it's great that he never gave up and as we all see became much better than any of his team mates in high school
