Two philosophers that had a great impact were Isaac Newton and Benjamin Franklin. Benjamin Franklin was born on January 17, 1706, in Boston Massachusetts and later became the man known for creating the lightning rod and the theory for conducting electricity. A very inspiring quote from him is “Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.” Isaac Newton was also a great philosopher in his time and still is. He was born on January 4, 1643, in Woolsthorpe, U.K. He eventually went to Trinity College (1667-1668) He went on to invent what is now known as Newton’s law of motion, the law of universal gravitation and inertia. Carving the pathway for many scientists that have come after him. An inspiring quote from him is “If I have ever seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.” These people definitely impacted what we are doing today in our lāhui maybe not by what they did but definitely by how they acted and what they said. For instance, Benjamin Franklins quote “Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.” We are literally making history as we speak so it’s either stand up or be forgotten. I by far do not want to be forgotten. Isaac Newton also has a very relevant quote “If I have ever seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.” This perfectly reflects the values of teamwork. And how to work together. It is basically saying that if he was ever above any else it was because of the endless help and support of the peers alongside him. The theories and inventions that these philosophers have created impact not only our group but the world because not a single person is able to ignore the reality of the theories they created. That is what makes them so undeniable. One of the two biggest Industrial Revolution results that most greatly impacted/related to our Kahiau project would be the steam engine. The use of chemicals and fuels in factories caused lots of pollution and the depletion of natural resources. Another invention that affected pollution was the Newcomen atmospheric engine. Both of these engines affected the world in both positive and negative ways, both increasing efficiency of the world along with increasing pollution. The first steam engine was invented by Thomas Savery in 1698, a British inventor. The Newcomen atmospheric engine was invented by Thomas Newcomen in 1712. They are both engines that power multitudes of other inventions that required power. They continue to impact our Kahiau project by polluting the world with their negative side effects. The two propelling factors that occurred during the Era of Expansion, Exhange, and Colonization were the Silk Road and the Exchanging of Goods. The Silk Road was used by many people to travel to many other places, it also affected the Exchange of Goods because many people were able to trade on those roads and get to the places that they wanted to trade at. One propelling factors that greatly impacted our project as a result of the Era of Imperialization is that when a country takes control of another country, they have to do it through military, and the military is a main source of a lot of illegal dumpings, which leads to pollution and waste. Another factor that impacts our project is that a lot of goods were wasted due to the countries being overtaken, which also leads to more pollution in those areas and adds up more around the world.
