An iconic historical even could be The Geat Depression. A person could be Adolf Hitler. An object could be the telephone and you could see how it has changed over time.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite would be Adolf Hitler. I think it would be interesting to do research on him and to maybe see why he did the things he did. Hitler impacted a lot of lives and it is a time in history that is very important.
An iconic historical event that I would find interesting to discuss is World War II. It ended the fascist experiment in Nazi Germany, led to the United Nations, and cemented America and her allies as global powers. A person that would be a great topic would be Thomas Edison. He was an eccentric inventor and entrepeneur who helped make America what it is today. An object that would be a fascinating topic would be the train. Trains defined the 19th century and connected all of America together. It also sped up immigration into unsettled sectors and helped define the world that is now so commonly known. Of these, my favorite would have to be World War II. This is clear due to how it not only created the league of nations, ended facism, and bolstered America's power. It also changed what war meant. Because of the war, nuclear weapons were developed, and thus ushered a nuclear arms race which would make the world into what is known today. Its significance can still be felt to this day.
ReplyDeleteA mainstream idea could be religion in today's society and people associated with their respective religions. A subcultural idea could be on how video games are affect the younger generations. An object that can be the internet and how it effected humanity. Personally my favorite is the religion. I am a religious and I hear all the different perspectives on religious topics.
ReplyDeleteAn iconic historical event that I find interesting is the industrial revolution. This led to products being manufactured at much higher rates, with help from many new inventions used in factories during the time period. An iconic person from history could be Abraham Lincoln. He played a vital role in ending slavery by passing the 13th amendment, as well as successfully prosecuting the Civil War to try to keep the country united. An iconic object that I find intriguing is the light bulb. The light bulb would have to be my favorite topic. Although there are many things that I find hard to imagine to live without, the light bulb stands out. When the power goes out, lots of people start to freak out, and don’t know what to do. I think the light bulb was an important invention that is heavily relied on nowadays.

ReplyDeleteFor our person, we chose Alexander Graham Bell. For our event, we thought of the moon landing for the United States. Lastly, for our object, we decided on the telegraph.
Our favorite topic of choice is our person: Alexander Graham Bell. Mr Bell played a huge role in the world of technology with his invention of the telephone. Nowadays, almost everyone has a phone to call, text or even play games on. This invention has not only helped local communication, but international as well. We believe it would be interesting to look more into Alexander Graham Bell’s life and find out where he’s from, what his background is and not only learn more about his invention process for the telephone, but also for any other inventions he may have. After all, wouldn’t interesting to know about the device that keeps your eyes glued to its screen for hours on end every day?
An iconic historical event would be the Jonestown Massacre, a person would be Kia Silverbrook and lastly, an object would be the rapid development of the central processing unit (CPU). The Jonestown Massacre would be my favorite subject because most people don't know who Jim Jones was and the truth behind the massacre.
ReplyDeleteAn iconic historical person would be Steven Spielberg. An iconic object is the computer. An iconic event would be the holocaust.
ReplyDeleteThe most interesting for me personally would be Steven Spielberg, due to his revolutions in the film industry and the countless number of iconic films and characters he has made. Many of his films have had some sort of technical or visual technique that were perfected by him, and have influenced the industry a great deal to this day. Many of said films are iconic in their own right, and are still watched by people of every generation. It would be interesting to research his early years and everything that has and continues to inspire him in his filmmaking.
A iconic person would be Martin Luther King Jr. because he is well know for freedom and rights. A iconic event would be World War 1. And a iconic object would be a computer. My favorite one is the iconic object because we all use computers nowadays and it is just amazing how it has changed over time and became very easy to use.
ReplyDeleteAn iconic event would be the civil war. An iconic person would be Tim Tebow, because of the trials and adversity he faced and then able to make something great come out of it. And a historical/ iconic object would be photography and the camera as a whole. The camera has changed the way we look at the world and the way we remember it. Photography is my favorite because I am fascinated by the way that I am able to show an audience the world form a different angle and a more artistic approach.
ReplyDeleteAn iconic person would be Bill Gates. An iconic event would be the first moon landing. An iconic object would be the computer.
ReplyDeleteThe most interesting one to me would be the first moon landing. It was a huge success for the United States as we were in competition with the Soviet Union. The competition was known as the “Space Race” during the Cold War and it would be interesting to know more about the subject. We could also discuss how many people thought that we faked the moon landing so we could get the upper hand against the Soviet Union. There are many different things that people see wrong with some of the photographs of the moon landing that lead people to believe that it was a hoax.
An iconic event could be the Normandy landings during WW2. An Iconic person could be General George Patton. An iconic object would be a tank.
ReplyDeleteI think the most interesting one is the tank. I think this is the most interesting because tanks played a major rule in shaping how wars are fought and allowed for new strategies to emerge. I think another interesting one is General Patton because he played a major rule in WW2 and was a general who helped liberate Europe from Nazi occupation. He is I also the one who brought tanks into war and proved that they were useful when many thought they went. He was a key member in the European campaign and proved himself to be a legendary General.
I am in a group with Brandon Derr. We thought one iconic place in the world is Redwood forests of California. It is a very beautiful place that attracts hundreds of thousands f tourists every year. One iconic person was Thomas Edison, who invented the lightbulb. One iconic event was the Roanoke colony disappearance.
ReplyDeleteI am in a group with Nate Belt,
ReplyDeleteWe thought one iconic person is Steve jobs because of his enormous impact on technology that has changed the way we live our daily lives. One iconic object would be a cell phone because it allows us to communicate to one another from anywhere in the world. One iconic event would be 9/11 because of the effect it had on national security and how tragic this event was.

ReplyDeleteAn iconic event in the world is garba raas. Main thing other than the fact that it is very well celebrated and represented is that fact that its open to everyone regardless of your religion, even though the reason for celebrating garba is due to navratri.
One iconic person is Dwanye the Rock Johnson, entrepreneur, actor, father, gym addict. One iconic place is yellow stone national park with its amazing preservations of nature.
An iconic person would be Elon Musk. He is a technical genius and CEO of Tesla Automotive, and a space program called SpaceX as well as other ventures in the tech field. He has been compared to Edison and other great minds of the past. An important historical event would be the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. This was an event that shook the world and has had an incredible impact on our lives today. Lastly an iconic place would be Ellis Island in New York. This has played a very important role in our countries history in terms of immigration and the conflicts that have come along with it.
ReplyDeleteAn iconic person would be General Patton. He lead some of the greatest battles for the US during WW2. A historical event would be the space race. This was very important in our history that lead to great technological advances. The competition between the US and USSR was a driving force. A object would be personal transportation AKA vehicles.
ReplyDeleteAn iconic person would Malcolm X because everything he stood for and how he wanted to achieve the same goal as others but in a different way during his time. An iconic moment would be when LeBron James had a game saving block on Andre Iguodala's shot in the 2016 NBA Finals in game seven. An iconic object would be the iPhone and how it really changed the industry of how phones were produced and sold.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting topic for me is photography, so some ideas based of that would be. 1827 in France the first picture was taken, this could be a historical event. That picture was taken by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, he would be an iconic person for photography. And the Canon camera is an object that is well known in this field.
ReplyDeleteI think the most interesting for me would be learning about the Canon camera and its origins. This one would be the best to present because it has a good history, and it would also be relevant to people in the classroom because Canon cameras are very popular.
