“Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” This famous quote came from the great man of Benjamin Franklin. This was one of many points he makes in “Poor Richard’s Almanack”. Through his life, he strived to be the best person that he could be. One of which ways was by going through a complete process of self improvement. His main goal had been to reach human perfection. Through the many years that he had experimented with the project he soon realized that it was not as…

Where are Franklin's ideas about productivity/industry still found today? Do you think American workers are ‘Franklinian’? Has the modern world and multitasking ruined the Franklin model? Franklin, while not the pioneer of the idea of an American work ethic, did much to change it from its Puritan roots of predestination. He secularized the American work ethic, and established a series of rules and adages as to how to be wealthy. Many of the adages Franklin once established are still around today…

indicate, he occasionally demanded it. Included in his holdings was land near Sherman’s Creek in present day Perry County. He also owned land near Lake Erie and Penn’s Creek along with many other locations. With a presence in vast areas of the colony, it is difficult to imagine that he would not have had such a strong influence over the events between the colonists and Native Americans. It seems that with his skill set, Montour was an estimable ally for both the Native Americans and the…

Benjamin Franklin wrote a document in the late 1700 known as “Information to Those Who Would Remove to America”. This document by Franklin was a response to ongoing rumors in Europe in the 1700 period. One of these rumors that were being spread in Europe was about the Americans being very wealthy, rich and possessing very many material goods but at the same time they were quite ignorant (Franklin September 16, 1783). All these rumors are clarified by Franklin as being false. Franklin majorly…

When Benjamin Franklin is mentioned, generally his several contributions to United States Society come to mind. It is interesting to find then, that someone who so willingly gave up his time and put in effort to help society, in reality, admittedly had a big pride issue. Plainly, this pride can be seen throughout The Autobiography that Franklin wrote as he recounts his accomplishments. Additionally still however, through Franklin’s writings, it is clear that his pride leads him to build himself…

When Benjamin Franklin wrote this autobiography, he wrote it with the plan for self- improvement. What exactly is self-improvement though? It is the improvement of one’s condition through one’s own efforts. Benjamin Franklin’s plan for this was to acquire each of the thirteen virtues he created for himself, one by one. In the course of this essay, the cause and effect of the virtues, silence/sincerity, frugality/industry, and tranquility. Silence and sincerity are two virtues that work together…

When I was in 8th grade, I went to Pineland Farms for a street hockey event. The whole high school Gorham ice hockey team, and Jonah, Aidan, Tyler, Camden, and I went to play for a special olympics event. I had no idea what Pineland farms was, or even existed until then. Pineland Farms was a place where parents send their kids with special needs to “cure” them. It was basically a prison for them. It was very similar to what happened to the special needs people in the great depression. After the…

Do you have contacts or glasses? Do you cook food on a stove? Benjamin Franklin had created these ideas of the purpose of what they do. He had made a huge contribution to the world with his many inventions and writings. He was born on January 17, 1706 and died on April 17, 1790. Franklin contributed to tons of things in his lifetime. These things just are improved with today’s technology, but they ideas of what goes on is still here. Benjamin Franklin had made adjustments to the world that some…

In July 23, 1726, Benjamin Franklin sailed across the sea, where he made a plan to follow for the remainder of his life. When he arrived back in Philadelphia, he saw several of his acquaintances from the past and was surprised by how they were doing. Franklin and Denham opened a print-house in Water-Street, where Franklin became a great seller. They also lived together, growing fond of one another and became great friends. They also became sick at the same time, but Franklin was the one who…
