Peter Alexeyevich Romanov was a Russian Emperor who ruled the Russian Tsardom from 1682 to his death in 1725. During his rule, he lead successful wars that expanded Russia, ultimately forming Russia into a major European power. He also sought to modernize Russia, replacing the traditional medieval style social and political systems with ideas based on science and modernism through cultural revolution. This change in idealism was inspired by Westernization and Enlightenment, and his efforts have made a lasting legacy which can be seen in some of Russia’s governmental institutions today. Peter was born on June 9th, 1672 to the Tsar Alexis and his second wife, Natalya Naryshkina.
Ancient scientist like Democritus and Leucippus proposed the idea of the atom(Doc.1). They were the first to start the long train of ideas and knowledge that brought us to the view of the modern atom(O.I). Since then, scientist such as John Dalton and Dmitri Mendeleyev have made huge leaps in the field of atomic science. John Dalton published the atomic theory of matter(Doc.1). Dmitri Mendeleev created the periodic table that modern scientist use daily(Doc.1).

“I will drag you kicking and screaming into the modern world”, this famous quote from the Czar, Peter the Great involved a lot of symbolic changes. In the 16th to 17th century Russia was considered to be a country that was out of order and brutal in the eyes of major powers in Europe. However, after the rule of Peter the Great, this view changed and Russia was no longer seen as a “backwards” nation. Peter the Great modernized Russia by infusing 'western' technology and by forcing his people to reject many of their orthodox christian, 'tradition-bound' customs. Specifically these included: forcing the male population to wear western clothes and cutting their beards (or pay tax), building a modern Navy, melting down Church bells to make cannons, and lastly, building a new capital city his so called, "window to the west."
"I am the enlighten despot" , the starting of a new idea and a new ways of thinking, new method is questioning. Catherine the great, part of one of one of the most important time periods in European and Russian history, the enlightenment. A period when philosophy, science, and politics thrived. Compared to other places, Russia was behind in terms of developing the new enlightened mindsets. Such as Russia still was very medieval like they still used the old feudal system with many lords with serfs.
Ivan the Third was born amidst the brutal civil war between his father’s supporters and his uncles’. Much Ivan’s early reign is still unknown today, but we do know that his childhood bride died, leaving him with one son, until three years later he married Zoё Palaeologus, the niece of the the last emperor of Byzantium. Ivan, during the rest of his reign, set himself upon the task to capture Lithuania-Poland and some of the Ukraine territories.

Oskar Schindler was one of the greatest heroes during the Holocaust. He was born on April 28, 1908, in Svitavy, Moravia. Schindler was a German industrialist who ended up saving the lives of over 1,200 Jews during World War II. Schindler grew up in a Catholic family and attended German schools which he studied engineering at. Growing up he worked various jobs before starting his own enamelware company in Krakow, Poland which was occupied by Nazis at the time.
Lavoisier's point of view was that elements were more complex than previously thought, and he studied and researched until he could prove his idea. Lavoisier defined an element as a substance that cannot be broken down any further, which we now know is correct. He also progressed the knowledge in the world of modern chemistry, by accurately weighing the reacting substances, which proved the law of conservation of matter. This theory then inspired many new discoveries of elements, which is evident in the fact that 84 new elements were discovered after Lavoisier's point of view. Lavoisier was not the only one who used Aristotle's point of view to help with his theory and perspective, in fact, Dimitri Mendeleev, an incredibly intelligent person, may not have ever come up with the periodic table if he did not have the information that he had at that current
In the 17th century, Russia was considered as a backwards and barbaric country in the eyes of the major powers of Europe. In 1696, Peter Alekseyevich Romanov took reign over the Russian culture. During his time as ruler, he improved most aspects to the way of life for the Russian culture. Peter Alekseyevich Romanov, also well known as Peter The Great, ruled the Russian culture from 1696 to 1726. During his reign, Peter wanted to do many things to change the way of life of Russian culture.
Democritus had been a founding father of the atomic theory which made him an influential figure in the field of science. He was a greek philosopher who had been born around 460 BCE in Abdera, Thrace. He had been a key figure in the production of the atomic theory and was also responsible for the footing of the Epicurean philosophy. Democritus had been born into a wealthy family which allowed him an education. Because of this he was able to study in the fields of medicine, ethics, physics, music, mathematics, astronomy, cosmology, and metaphysics.
The first periodic table was first introduced to us in 1869 by a Russian scientist named Dmitri Mendeleev. Mendeleev studied chemistry at the University of St. Petersburg. Mendeleev’s table had many differences from the one we use today. His periodic table was in order by atomic mass.
There have been a lot of experiences, and events in my life that have impacted me for my future in a positive way. One such experience is my current job as a Pastor at my church. In the fall of 2014, I was blessed with the opportunity of taking the position of being the Children’s Pastor at my home church, Pueblo Christian Center. I prayed about it for a couple of weeks before taking the position, and I really felt like the Lord was telling me to take it. It has been instrumental in helping me develop my passion, and goals.
Euclid’s book of elements spread through Europe and was highly regarded by other mathematicians. It spread a lot more quickly and rapidly due to the invention of the printing press during the Renaissance period. It could now be printed in other languages and other countries around the world became able to study Euclid’s work and conclude more mathematical theorems off the basis of his work. A lot of other famous mathematicians would have started their career studying Euclid’s books as he was one the earliest people ever to make such a huge contribution to mathematics Euclid died around the year 285 BC. He contributed hugely to the understanding of mathematics and geometry, especially in shapes.
