Prompt: Can the daily actions of average people have a significant impact on the course of history? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.
Many people in the world want to make a difference in the world. However, it is not always done in the most noticeable way. Unlike the politicians or leaders of the world, average people do not have as much of an impact as individuals. But they can still have a significant impact on the course of history through daily actions. There are many actions people can take in order to make change history and even the smallest of actions can become the biggest change of mankind.
First off, the world is a massive place and individual people are not always able to change something so easily. However, multiple people banding together are able to do so through daily actions. For instance, the atmosphere on our planet is becoming more polluted and resources are diminishing today. In reaction to this, people are recycling in order to make up for the loss of resources that we are using up in society. This can change the course of how well the planet survives down in history. For this change to come, large number of people recycle instead of being done by a few individuals.
There are many actions average people can take to make a difference. Certain actions can make a change depending on the situations at that time. For instance, during World War II (WWII), America was in a perilous time in trying to keep sending soldiers into various areas where Nazi Germany had spread. In order for the civilians to support, simply going to their jobs and donating to the government helped the financial situation that America was in. Jobs, such as ship building was taken as priority, which was a daily action for some people at that time. This caused a change in how America would stand in the war and how the economy rose from the Great Depression, which was a change in the course of history due to the daily actions of people.
As explained, average people can make a difference in the world. History can be changed from actions of average people, in numbers most of all. No matter how big or small the action is, it will find its way to change history in some way.
