The Beatles were a very large part in music. They started the music revolution of the sixties with the new sounds and music. Greil Marcus states that “t he form of the Beatles contained the forms of rock and roll itself (Marcus). This means that the Beatles obtained the spirits of Rock-and-roll by the sound and music they created. The Beatles were very successful in their music career. They had over 20 number one songs in the charts, nearly unable to beat out Elvis Presley who had 18. They were all very focused on their music and not the money that they were making, even though that was a bonus. In 2007, over 170 million albums had been sold in the U.S. alone. Even though the Beatles is no longer producing music, they have still left a lasting impact on the rock and roll world.

Audience-Kori Williams The Beatles target audience were teenage girls. Part of this had to do with the fact that there were many teenagers during the time period they were popular in. The other part was that they knew teens spent their leisure time often listening to music. In an article in BBC, By James Melik “Teenagers wanted to distance themselves from their parents' generation and embraced not only the music, but also the products uniquely aimed at them” (Melik). James in this quote is explaining how music affected them in the times they lived in. I find it interesting how teens back then and teens nowadays use music to express themselves and escape reality/ their parents.

The Beatles had more of a purpose than their music, it was for peace. "Rock music was not the soundtrack to a generation, it WAS the generation" (Stark). "It was the air, it was considered to be the central, and a revolutionary and new -- kind of the way the people think of the Internet is now -- communication force that would change everything. It would change our politics, our culture, our fashion, and The Beatles were the crown princes of this movement” (CBS News). This means that The Beatles had a very big impact on our society since 1963. Our music changed from them and they changed from us, they made better music. They were more popular than today’s One Direction and 5 Seconds of Summer. http://www.cbsnews.com/the-beatles-50th-anniversary/

Cultural- __SelenaAndrade__ The beatles had a very huge impact on today's music and culture, they impacted modern music, modern clothing, global television, modern animation, album covers, and concerts. The band itself knew about their popularity and what an impact they had on things. One of the singers John Lennon said once “We’re more popular than Jesus” (Lennon).

Malcolm Gladwell
Aim: Cooper Needle



The aim of Malcolm Gladwell’s writing was to inform people. All of his journalism and writing were for a certain reason to teach while entertaining. He wrote the books he did because they were events in life that intrigued him. His main aim was to inform the people about epidemics in society. Malcolm Gladwell says, “ that fascination grew to an interest in the whole idea of epidemics”(Q and A with Malcolm). This quote shows that he was in this business to inform people about the things going on around us in his own way. Teaching the public is his one goal as a writer and a journalist, but he did not just inform us about something uninteresting to him he chose subjects or “epidemics” that he was fascinated and passionate in as well. In all of Malcolm’s books and journalism he focused on issues or things that the public does that they don’t realize and he writes about it not for him but for society as a whole. His one aim as a writer was accomplished he informed people about events that interested him and influenced all of societies perspective

Audience: Colby Drawbaugh



Malcolm Gladwell was an author, journalist, and a public speaker influencing everyone he touched. Gladwell wrote five books in which all five of them were on the The New York Times “Bestseller” list and has been the staff writer for The New Yorker since 1996. One thing that all of the books that Gladwell wrote had in common is that all of them are non-fiction. People who read Malcolm Gladwell’s books are often looking for Non-fiction stories. According to The New York Times, ”Much of what Mr. Gladwell has to say about superstars is little more than common sense: that talent alone is not enough to ensure success, that opportunity, hard work, timing and luck play important roles as well” (It’s True: Success Succeeds). Malcolm Gladwell writes about the deeper meaning, that he explains how things came to be. For example, when Malcolm Gladwell is talking about celebrities/ superstars he goes into depth about how they came to be. This interests a lot of people because they want to see how they could possible get rich and famous by learning how other people did it.

Historical: Miles Doser



Malcolm Gladwell has been a writer, since 1987. Malcolm Gladwell is the author of 4 books, The Tipping Point: How Little Things Make a Big Difference, Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking and Outliers: The Story of Success and What the Dog Saw: And Other Adventures. All four of these books have appeared on the New York Times bestseller list. “Achievement is talent plus preparation” (“Outliers: The Story of Success ”). From 1987 to 1996 he covered science and business at The Washington Post and in 19997, he switched to The New Yorker. People have found Gladwell's Books to be some of the most interesting yet analytic pieces of writing material that they have ever read. “A must read” ( Suvrutt Gujar ). Gladwell’s first assignment at The New Yorker was to write a piece on fashion. Gladwell chose to write about a man who manufactured low price t-shirts instead of writing a piece on high fashion. He quickly became popular with the public. He was also recognized for two other articles that he wrote, "The Tipping Point" and "The Coolhunt", both written and published in 1996. These latter became the base of his first book.

Malcolm Gladwell impacted our modern culture by thinking outside the box and questioning our society. He questions what we as people are doing and how that is impacting the society today. That impacts us by making us as people think about what we are doing to impact our society and the other people around us both in positive and negative ways. Malcolm Gladwell does questions the way we are choosing to shape our society, and that is kind of what his book, “Outliers” is about. He changes the way that we think about being successful and how we think about success. Malcom says “ Practice isn’t something you do when you’re good. It’s something you do that makes you good” ( Malcolm Gladwell Quotes: Outliers). This quote is true, that we don’t practice something when we get good at it, it’s practice that makes us good at it. People will not practice something once they get good at it, they practice enough just to get to the point of being good, they will not practice after they get good. Another quotes says “ We overlook just how large a role we all play, and by we I mean society, in determining who makes it and who doesn’t” ( Malcolm Gladwell Quotes: Outliers ). This is another quote that questions our society and the choices that we as people make that impact the other people around us. Malcolm Gladwell made very good points about how we the people are shaping our society, not just the government, not other countries, but we the people. He influenced our society by making us see the truth behind ourselves and show us that we are making a bigger impact on society than we think. That is both positive and negative, it just all depends on what we chose to do about it.

Julius (John) Oppenheimer

__Aim:__ Matt Martin



Julius Oppenheimer’s aim was to create an atomic bomb. He was a scientist in World War Two. He was recruited by the government to create a weapon of mass destruction to be used against the US's enemies. He worked with Albert Einstein and a team of other scientists to achieve this goal. According to Biography.com, “ Oppenheimer was selected to administer a laboratory to carry out the Manhattan Project, a U.S. Army experiment aimed at harnessing atomic energy for military purposes,”(J. Robert Oppenheimer). This shows that he was very important in creating the first nuclear weapons. This invention changed the world. Without Oppenheimer, the nuclear bomb may not exist today.

The audience of Julius (John) Oppenheimer was mostly other physicists. He had once said “I need physics more than friends” (azquotes- I need physics more than friends). He had clearly preferred to talk strictly to his peers and others in his area of work. But then there’s the audience of what he had helped create, the Japanese. He had helped design the first nuclear device, “ The joint work of the scientists at Los Alamos resulted in the first artificial [|nuclear explosion]  near [|Alamogordo]  on July 16, 1945, on a site that Oppenheimer codenamed ‘ [|Trinity] ’ in mid-1944,”(wikipedia- J. Robert Oppenheimer). Oppenheimer was one of the main physicists who designed the devices, and had a major role in its development. This then led to the development of little boy and fat man which were used on Japan. In the aftermath of both the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings “ ...he and many of the project staff were very upset about the ... as they did not feel the second bomb was necessary from a military point of view,” (wikipedia- J. Robert Oppenheimer). He had realized what he and his colleagues had done to the Japanese population. The Japanese who had survived the blasts were then forced to witness what he had designed. Oppenheimer had an indirectly and directly large audience who saw what he and his team had created, consisting of the Japanese and American populations.

The impact of John Oppenheimer on society was so great that it encompassed all the countries of the world.His works spurred the degradation of societal peace and was indirectly involved with starting the cold war ( not single handedly ). Not only did his work affect the way America’s image was projected onto the world. He also contributed his efforts that resulted in the destruction of an empire, the empire of Japan. During world war two his job was to discover a way to,”...split the atom and develop a nuclear bomb…”(Robert Oppenheimer). In August of 1945,“...the bomb was at last successful and helped to quickly end the Second World War…”(Robert Oppenheimer). After the detonation of the Trinity device he proclaimed,”... <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline;">We knew the world would not be the same…”(J. Robert Oppenheimer). This was an understatement because after world war two an arms race spiralled the world out of control. A war of ideologies, communism pitted against capitalism. The world had to adjust to this new evil. Later the world had to adapt as the possibility of the destruction of earth was very likely. This created fear among countries, acknowledging the threat of the nuclear menace.The world however did adapt to this threat of mutually assured destruction. Oppenheimers reputation could not be tarnished as the cold war was the result of an uneasy Soviet Union and America. The two nations are also responsible due to their propaganda. The cultural impacts however old they were still affect the population of the world.

Bill Joy (computers)

history: Matt Smith

Bill joy was a computer genius he was born in 1954. Bill Joy was a computer genius because he made the internet. Bill Joy right now is a member of the national academy of engineering and the american academy of art. “ I got tired of people telling me it was to hard to use the UNIX because the editor was to hard”(Computer history). At the beginning the internet was very confusing. They had to have a lot of smarts to make it. Bill joy was a very bright young man when he was a little boy he had always got good grades.BIll joy is a very inspirational guy because he helped a lot of people with work and to have a good life. Bill joy came up with the internet and that made it easy to work and he helped people with life.

Aim: Jesse Rasmussen



Bill Joy was a computer scientist of which was known for his work with Berkeley Software Distribution UNIX and the co-founding of Sun Microsystems. As the Computer History Museum states, “Joy co-founded Sun Microsystems, one of the leading workstation and server companies of the 1980s and 1990s”(Computer History Museum). Bill Joy’s purpose was creating a computer program of which was used in old computers. He had essentially created the internet. He had also contributed to making one of the leading server companies (which required internet) of the 1980’s through 1990’s. As Computer History Museum states, “Joy was a seminal figure in the creation, support, and rollout of BSD UNIX, an open-source operating system that was the first to have built-in TCP/IP networking”(Computer History Museum). With the BSD UNIX, people finally had internet. With this internet (Known as networking at the time) he was able to use this to help incorporate his work with the server company of the 1980’s and 1990’s as a co-founder. So without Bill Joy, today we probably wouldn’t have very much “Internet” involved things.

The purpose of his actions have to do with Bill Joy being extremely interested in what's he did to change Computers entirely. “J <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline;">oy devised a version of the [|UNIX][|operating system] <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline;">, Berkeley UNIX, that used the [|TCP/IP] <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline;"> networking language, which placed UNIX servers at the forefront of the [|Internet] <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline;"> revolution and the [|open-source movement] <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline;">” ( [|Kevin Featherly] ).

He was on Ted Talk talking about his writing about technology and how in the future technology will go to far and cause worldwide chaos with robots and micro organisms to develop and takeover. Many critics judged him to be overreacting as others agreed with him to be cautious with technology in the future causing a major argument among critics and scientists. Bill Joy then left his company to help develop “green” ways to stop climate change and save energy in <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Asap; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline;">Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers.

Mozart once said, ”I pay no attention whatever to anybody's praise or blame. I simply follow my own feelings.” (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart). Mozart was an influential composer born in the Classical era. When he was five, he composed a piece and performed in front european royalty. Mozart composed over 600 works of art, and was acknowledged by his symphonic, concertante, chamber, operatic, and choral music. Some of his famous works include, “The Magic Flute”, and, “Don Giovanni” (Wolfgang Mozart). After Mozart’s death, which came a young age, he was considered one of the greatest composers of all time. Many biographies were written about him, and his work influenced many composers after his time, such as Beethoven. His music was a big part of the classical period, his compositions were unique to music at the time and continue to fassinate musicians and classic music lovers today.

Unfortunately my trip to Austria was for one day only as my host family lived in Berlin. Although my visit was brief, I was left with a lifelong impression, and I yearn to experience in depth this culturally rich, majestic land." (Rosa Mendoza). Mozart has affected the world by bringing a base for music that we still follow today. Mozart has inspired many people and many songs today.

On January 27, 1756 in Salzburg, Austria famous classical composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born. Growing up in a household full of music, his dad Leopold was a professional musician. His sister Nannerl was playing the harpsichord and was a singer. “at three, Mozart was inspired to study music by observing his father’s instruction of marianne; he wanted to be like her” (Nannerl Mozart). Mozart had asked to learn about music and his dad agreed to teach him. By the age of four Mozart was able to learn a piece of music in half an hour (the classical period…). At the age of five Mozart had been composing his own piano pieces, at the age of nine his first symphonies, and at the age of twelve whole operas. Mozart was one of the only composers to write undisputed works in almost every genre of music in his time. On October 26, 1783 Mozart’s c minor mass was performed at st peter’s church for the first time, and every summer the salzburg festival performs it there as well. (historical sites of Mozart). <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Bitter; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> Mozart once said “Nevertheless the passions, whether violent or not, should never be so expressed as to reach the point of causing disgust; and music, even in situations of the greatest horror, should never be painful to the ear but should flatter and charm it, and thereby always remain music.” (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart). Even in the most horrific situations Mozart believes that music should not cause disgust and shall always remain just music. On December 5, 1791 Mozart died after becoming ill in Vienna, Austria at a young age of thirty five. Mozart has had a big impact on the world of music because he had given us a foundation that still is a base for some music today and he has become one of the world’s greatest composers. Many of his works became well known after his death. Mozart had written over 40 symphonies, and 22 operas. His most famous piece was the requiem (mass for the dead) which he had started in 1791 but never finished because of his death, before his thirty sixth birthday.

He influenced the culture of the time through his compositions and other musical pieces, by having a classical point of view on things. Many people then, and even today, consider his pieces to be mature. Mozart himself once stated, “ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #191919; font-family: Bitter; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius” (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart). His words, along with his musical talents, have influenced the modern world. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #191919; font-family: Bitter; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> During his time, the cultural influence was much different than the influences now. Mozart has influenced behavior amongst society, musical styles, and even war. He has influenced many other composers and musicians with his work. He affected the American Dream through his works by telling people that they need to strive to be the best they can be, and help make the American society better. Even though this is good, many people have a hard time accepting this because they are afraid that society won’t agree with them, that they won’t be accepted. Since everyone has their own beliefs, it is harder for a large group of people, especially an entire country, to agree with everyone’s ideas. People view things differently than others. Mozart’s influence helped people all over the world achieve a higher understanding for problems they might face, whether it be musically or socially, because everyone is different, in their own unique way.

Bill Gates was born on October 28, 1955. Anyhow, he spent most of his lifetime tinkering and messing around with gadgets and technology. Eventually he went to school and met up with one his co-founder, Paul Allen, he and Paul Allen teamed up and used their knowledge to create (one of the most powerful businesses ever) Microsoft. Bill Gates wanted it to be for everyone even people with disabilities to be able to participate and do the same things we can do too. So it strived him to work harder and make it more and more improved each time. He said a quote” <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline;">Our vision is to create innovative technology that is accessible to everyone and that adapts to each person's needs.

This was meant for people to be able to use their skills to their advantages, that’s the audience for Microsoft.

When Bill Gates came up with the idea of Microsoft he was intending the capture the minds of young people so that the product can last in the future. He is the most expensive person in the world if people were worth money. His net worth is 72.9 billion usd. That number doesn't really mean anything but he wanted to target younger people and show them that the American dream was possible. Bill said this, “ <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline;">Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose.Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.As we look ahead into the next century, leaders will be those who empower others”(Bill Gates). This quote shows that he knew that he could learn from anyone even his most “unhappy customers”. He wasn't about think that he was above anyone and that he doesn't have anything to learn. Therefore Bill Gates was targeting the younger generations with his idea of microsoft.

Bill Gates Speaks at World Economic Forum

When Bill Gates and his friend Paul Allen created a better BASIC code for computers in the 1980s it was only the start of his major accomplishments such as Windows. Windows is the most used software around the globe and has been a huge success even today and still helps with so many things we need to do to accomplish our own goals. Windows helps with ATMs and Business servers, it also powers mobile phones around the world. As Evans states calmly ”You can now find versions of Windows on around 90 percent of the world's computers. It powers business servers, mobile phones, PDAs, cash machines, retail displays, set-top boxes and old Sega Dreamcast consoles. Windows is everywhere” (Dean Evans).

Bill Gates has impacted the world because he is the creator of Microsoft and Windows with his partner Paul Allen which is the world’s largest software business used today.
