The person whom i am going to choose would be Mahatma Gandhi. Now, many of you may wonder just why. I mean he didn't invent anthing nor did he contribute to the advance of human technology. What impact did he have on any field of human endeavour??? That is none other than the pursuit of independence. In these past century, we have read about the struggles of countless countries who have fought so hard for independence. It has been their goal to be able to rule over themselves and not let any other nation rule them. It has been the most sought after aspect of life. Gandhi had showed us that you need not have firepower to gain independece, you just need to have a good heart and and especially firm believe in peace.



Gandhi was a lawyer who did his practice in Britain. He chose to abandon his good life there and instead fight for independence for India. This turnaround occured in South Africa after he had witnessed the discrimination commonly directed at blacks and Indians. He lead the Indian Independence Movement which would last the better peat of the next 29 years. One major aspect of Gandhi was his principle on non-violence. He so firmly believed in it that he actually called off his campaign when people started to get into a lot of violence due to it.



His non-violent approach did have a significant impact on the world later on. He has allowed everyone to see that there is a non-violent solution to everything. He has become the figure of peace to many and his influence has allowed many leaders around the world to also use peace. So great has his influence been that, the Dalai Lama, Lech Wałęsa, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Cesar Chavez, Aung San Suu Kyi, Benigno Aquino, Jr., Desmond Tutu, and Nelson Mandela, renowned world leaders, have been called Children of Gandhi and his spiritual heirs to non-violence.

Gandhi also made everyone believe that even the most simple man could change the world. You don't need to have a designer suit and large sums of cash to make people respect you. Gandhi was a firm believer in indian tradition and throughout the Indian Independence Movement, he wore a simple dhothi, a traditional home-spun cloth, everywhere, even when he was invited for a meeting in the famed 10.Downing Street in Britain. He also gave up unnecessary expenditure and lead a very simple life.

If Gandhi had not acted the way that he did, would everyone today still have a peaceful approach to things or would violence rule us all.....Nations would have just loaded up on firepower to solve issues....Diplomacy would barely even exist....Thus is the extent that Gandhi had on the world.
