1. The American Revolution Perspectives:

The perspective of the British was that the Americans were trying to overthrow their government and make their own government. So then the British prepared to force the Americans to stay with their government. At the same time the Americans were beginning to fight for their freedom. The ideal of the Americans was that they wanted to be a new and independent nation. This taught the world a valuable lesson; we can all fight for our rights to finally get them. Also never give up.

2. The role of women in the 18^th century:

In the 18^th century women fought a lot for their freedom and for the same rights as the opposite sex. This ideal was a large contributor to the general idea of the enlightenment since the women were thinking out of the box and in a way of changing the world for the better. The women, after fighting for a long time all over the world, finally found equality, thus sowing the world that a large change can be successful. Also they showed the word that going against the tide is a good thing in some cases.

3. A modest proposal:

This man, Jonathan Swift, stated very clearly his feelings as to the people on the streets. He could not understand that they had an unfair chance from their birth to be a part of the normal world. He suggested that the government and all people should help these people. And this also taught the world to have freedom of speech. Also it taught the world that there are other people that are in a worst situation than you are. And these people need help; you can make a difference…

4. Catherine the Great:

Catherine the great helped Russia greatly. She changed Russia from an Asian Empire to a European Power. Russia had been an Asian Empire for many centuries but Catherine the great, who was German, made a change. She made changes in the Russian Government and she expanded the Russian territory greatly. She taught a lesson to the world, telling us that you can make a great change in the world, no matter what sex, religion or culture you are from. Also she taught us that anyone can make a great change.
