Charles Darwin’s way of thinking expanded far beyond his area of expertise, it expended all the way to psychology, physics, literature and even politics and economics. If you asked him “How much of his work would impact other fields?” personally I do not think he would have known. Darwinian thinking is now deeply engraved in areas such as economics and even business administration. Through this paper I will attempt to see how Darwin interacted with economists of his time such as Karl Marx, how…

Wallace's supporting forces grew to a full-blown army taking back Scotland and ravaging the English North. Wallace’s leadership contributed immensely through many overwhelming victories for Scotland’s independence and for the signing of the Treaty of Edinburgh-Northampton in 1328, the document giving the scots their freedom, 23 years after his death. Even today, almost 711 years later, he is considered a hero and an epitome of success. But how did his leadership affect Scotland’s quest for…

I have and always had this urge to see change. I realised that as humans this is innate in us, and we should act upon this natural instinct in everything we do. From as far back as my memory goes I would question why people behave the way they do. Society seems on the surface to be regressing, but people are progressing and are becoming more and more conscious and it’s these people who will bring forth change against those striving so hard to stifle it. It would hurt me as a child watching…

age 8, he could speak English, German, and would soon learn French. Just four short years later, in 1751, what once was just a possibility became an all-too-real truth. With the loss of his father to pleurisy, George inherited the title, Duke of Edinburgh, and became next in line for the throne. George would one day rule Great Britain. With his father gone, his mother coveted him even more closely. She brought in a tutor, who she highly approved of to mentor George. So great was the influence of…
