How Did The Wright Brothers Impact Society

Like Jackie Robinson and Melba Pattillo Beals, Feng Ru helped improve his home country, China, when he was motivated by the United States’s industrialization to build a plane and make a similar impact on China. Feng Ru was also challenged, but unlike Robinson and Beals, his challenges came as long hours, bad working conditions, natural disasters, and the risk of death when testing planes. In paragraph six of the article about him, Maksel states, “Jammed into this small space were tools, books, journals, mechanical projects, aircraft parts—and Feng himself, who rarely finished work before 3 a.m.” This quote explains some of the conditions Feng Ru was challenged by, such as small spaces. This is also shows in paragraph seven, where the article states, “During one test flight, Feng lost control of his airplane (not an unusual occurrence), which plunged into his workshop, setting it ablaze.” This quote shows that crashing planes was not unusual, which brought a lot of risk, as Feng Ru could have gotten killed or severely injured in these crashes. Through these events, Feng Ru gained knowledge of aviation

a.) In the 1920’s lots of new things began to hit the market. Commercial radios, sunny hollywood movies, automobiles and airplanes! Aviation began to take flight as the first plane was perfected allowing greater distances to be achieved. Charles A. Lindbergh paved the success of planes with his 33 hour and 39 minute trek across the atlantic ocean. He was the first person to do such a daring feat and it paid off. It gave the impression that flying was safe. Without this added security I'm sure we’d miss out on all the great things planes had to offer us such as faster transportation of goods and ourselves!

Edward Miner Gallaudet was born on February, 5, 1837 in Hartford, Connecticut. He was the youngest of eight children to Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and Sophia Fowler. Edward and his family are known for their efforts in the education for the deaf in the United States. In some cases their efforts were seen as actions of lunatics because popular belief was that all deaf people could never be as smart as hearing people.

Morse affected the world in a great way by revolutionizing long-distance communication. Morse’s accomplishments were recognized by many because of how useful the electric telegraph was and how it had social and economic impacts. Without the electric telegraph the world would be worse because as time went on the electric telegraph was improved upon, allowing messages to be transmitted across continents and oceans almost instantly. This really helped improve communications between countries and nations, as well as being able to instantly send a telegraphic message to

Throughout the history of western civilization there have been a vast number of changes that have occurred and wars that have formed civilization today. There have been economic changes, relating to the development of the economy and the financial state of society. There have been political changes, dealing with shifts in government and power. There have been social changes, affecting the organization of society and the interpersonal and international relations. All of these events have influenced society and molded it into what it is today. By looking at three significant events, the Industrial Revolution, The French Revolution, and the Holocaust, the fact that they are the most important economic, political, and social changes in western civilization since 1689 until now will become evident.

Before Lindbergh's flight to France, people usually traveled by ship, car or train. But due to Lindbergh’s successful trip to France people's fear of traveling on a plane quickly disappeared. In 1929, more than 170,000 people wanted to travel by plane. Previous to Lindbergh's impact on civilians, about only 60,000 people wanted to take a trip by plane. Seeing that his flight had such a great significance to the people stocks in aviation grew as well (Bishop). Since people got into the habit of traveling by plane they had to advance the performance of planes. This led to new aircraft machinery that in modern days we still use. Some Americans disagreed with the changes that were happening in the United States such as, new inventions, women saying what's on their mind, new music and much more (“The Roaring Twenties”). But this didn’t hesitate Lindbergh to have a modern and extremist mind set. For instance, Lindbergh went on many exciting trips such as traveling to China with his wife, Anne. Charles Lindbergh caused a change in people's thoughts and opinions on the union becoming a modern country by his career in aviation.

In the late 19th century, railroads propelled America into an era of unprecedented growth, prosperity, and convenient transportation. Prior to the building of the railroads, America lacked the proper and rapid transportation to make traveling across the country economical or practical. Lengthy travel was often cumbersome, costly, and dangerous. With the advent of the railroad, many of these issues disappeared. Railroads had a major impact on advancing the American economy, transforming America into a modern society, and improving an antiquated transportation system.

The 1920s were considered an extremely prosperous and positive decade in history. The economy was relatively stable, and people’s lives were generally sound and enjoyable. One aspect that greatly contributed to the success of the “Roaring Twenties” was the modern and innovative inventions that were being created. These inventions allowed for various daily tasks to be completed in a much more efficient manner. New and improved communication related devices helped to connect Canadians nationwide. Advanced forms of transportation established links to other cities, provinces, and even countries. Personal and medical inventions helped to maintain the economical and physical wellbeing

Christopher was born in the republic of Genoa, Italy on May 20, 1451. His parents’ names were Domenico Colombo and Susanna Fontanarossa. Christopher Columbus had three brothers Bartolomeo, Giovanni Pellegrino, and Giacomo. Columbus also had a sister named

The parallels between Columbus’s voyage and Lindbergh’s flight include dimensions such as competition, danger, and skill. Both Columbus and Lindbergh faced a tremendous amount of competition that surrounded the goals they were trying to pursue. Columbus lived in a time when Europe was progressing imperialistically and economically. Therefore, it spurred many explorers, traders, and navigators on to find security economically, through locating a quick and stable trade route. Columbus did not just compete for this honor domestically, but he competed with all foreign countries in their quest to gain power over their neighbors. Similarly, Lindbergh found a host of other aviators, and even some explorers, that sought after the honor of being the first to fly non-stop across the Atlantic, and gain $25,000 in addition. In the face of competition, Columbus and Lindbergh rose to meet their respective challenges, proving their determined nature, and their will to succeed in what they knew best.

Christopher Columbus and Charles Lindbergh were both one of the most significant historical explorers. Like any other ordinary person both of them had goals they wanted to accomplish in life. Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer who was known to have discovered in the Americas the "New World". Columbus was born on October 31, 1451 in Genoa, Italy ("Christopher Columbus Biography." The Biography.com Website. A&E Television Networks, n.d. Web. 26 Oct. 2015). Charles Lindbergh was born on February 4, 1902 in Detroit, Michigan. Lindbergh was the first to create a solo transatlantic airplane flight in 1927 ("Charles Lindbergh Biography." Bio.com. A&E Networks Television, n.d. Web. 26 Oct. 2015).

Jackie Robinson (I Never Had It Made), Melba beals( Warriors Don’t Cry), and Feng Ru in( “The Father of Chinese Aviation”) all faced life changing experiences that changed themselves and their countries. Jackie Robinson was the first black player on the major league baseball team. While Melba, was one of the first black kids to go to an all white school. Then Feng Ru was the first chinese immigrant to build a plane & change society today. If it wasn’t for them who knows where our society would have changed

On November 11, 1918, the Great War came to an end. The allies had won and one thing was certain. The advancements in technological weaponry had guided us to victory. Among the advancements were tanks, submarines, flamethrowers, poison gas, and machine guns. But one advancement in particular allowed us to take the war off land.

Have you ever thought about who designs airplanes? Maybe you’ve wondered who builds spacecraft. From landing on the moon to the Wright brother’s aerospace engineers are responsible for what people can do with what goes on in the sky. Becoming an engineer of any kind is not easy there are many steps to becoming an aerospace engineer. It requires a lot of hard work and dedication, and includes a minimum of four years in college.

Through the chaos and mayhem of World War 2, the aviation industry made significant advancements in its technology. After the war ended, this technology stretched and expanded to the farthest reaches of the world. Frank Whittle of England and Hans von Ohain of Germany both created the world of aviation that we live in today. Both men did it without the knowledge of each other throughout the 1930s and 1940s. This invention was the start of the Jet Age.
