Mother Teresa once said, “We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.” Hans Hass was a marine biologist who had a lot of accomplishments that changed the world. He was born on January 23, 1919, in Vienna, Austria and died on June 16, 2013 in Vienna Austria. Hans was one of the first people to use an underwater camera to capture underwater life.

Although their guide Hans wasn’t given much recognition, he was definitely a hero throughout the journey. While on the way to the center of the Earth, an unexpected problem occurred. Professor Liedenbrock had expected many springs on the way down, but to their surprise, there were none. When they thought hope was lost, Hans ventured out and yelled “Watten! Watten!”, which meant water in latin. He had found water, and had saved Professor Liedenbrock and Axel from dying of thirst. Although Professor Liedenbrock and Axel became weak during the journey, Hans pulled through and stayed strong. Without Hans, Professor Liedenbrock and Axel wouldn’t have survived. Hans maybe wasn’t considered a hero, but he had many heroic
Imagine if you were in the arctic with two other people and both of your travelling mates died; you were all alone, and you were many miles away what would you do? This is the story of Douglas Mawson. Douglas Mawson went on a painful journey to the Antarctic(“Into the Unknown”). There is yet still two other people that faced adversity and contributed to science. Henrietta Lacks was second in facing the most adversity in the course of contributing to science, she has a cancer and she dies at the age of thirty- one from the cancer. Phineas Gage had the least amount adversity in the course of contributing to science, he was working one day and a metal pole blasted through his head and he lived for eleven years after that. Douglas Mawson endured the most adversity in the course of contributing to science for a few reasons.

Hans’ life was altered in this time period by the Nazi Party. When he gave the soldier the bread, he was sent to the LSE (Air Raid Special Unit.) The Author wrote, “Hans Hubermann grew smaller and smaller, and his hand held nothing now but empty air.” When he left for the army he escaped death yet another time. Hans broke his leg in a car accident and was be sent home by his sergeant. If Hans didn’t live in that neighborhood at that time he would have never been punished by getting drafted; he would never have had the wonderful return celebration with his

World War Two was filled with many different leaders, who all carried different leadership tactics that supported the efforts of the war in various ways.

These two leaders were most commonly known for their negative impact on society; however, I am choosing to compare the good that these two leaders did for their country during their time in leadership.
The extent to which Albert Speer had a positive impact upon his time are both varied and constantly changing. From the German perspective, Speer had a positive impact upon the Regime, as exemplified through his work as Architect and Armaments Minister. The allied, international perspective in contrast is quite negative, as it has evolved over time. Despite initial praise, as seen in the repentant Nazi argument, the release of the Walters Chronic and other revelations saw shift towards the structuralist view for the allies, of which Speer had a profoundly negative impact upon society, in which it became to be known that he had full knowledge of the atrocities of the Nazi regime, and the contribution that his department was having upon this.

If Meegeren's one and only goal was to trick people out of their money, including the Nazi he was about to fool, he would never haveof gotten caught. Meegeren's was a very brilliant man, and when he wanted something he would get it. He was smart and knew how to study the right things, and get what he wanted. According to the “Han Van Meegeren” article, he was a brilliant man, who was one of the most famous forgers to ever exist.

In The “S” Word: A Short History of an American Tradition…Socialism written by John Nichols he writes that, “the expulsions, purges, finger pointing and fear factors of the second ‘red scare’ made the fight for civil rights a harder one” (186). He explains that the American peoples’ suspiciousness and fear of one another during the “red scare” made it more difficult for black citizens fighting for civil rights.
