Important can be many things, it can be referring to the things that we call important, or it can be things in history that made us what we are today, for example these things would be important to our world today. The actual definition of the word important is of much or great significance or consequence, mattering much. The definition means that anything you think that is significant, like a blanket or a teddy bear that you got when you were little, those are important to you. Things that are important to the world could include things like the domestication of animals, or the discovery of letters and math. These things are important to the world because without them we would not have developed as a country nation, or world. Important is a very broad subject that can mean many things to many people. Also people can be important to the history. There are many important women in the world that lived or are still living.
One important woman was Harriet Tubman. She was an African American Union spy during the American Civil War. When she was born she was born into slavery and when she eventually escaped, she went on thirteen missions to help other slaves escape to their freedom through the Underground Railroad. When the Civil War began, Harriet stated working for the Union army. She first started as a cook and a nurse, then later she worked as a scout and a spy, she was the first women to lead an armed expedition into the war.[2] Harriet Tubman is important because she was the conductor of the Underground freedom, and without her many of the slaves would have stayed in slavery.
Another important person in history was George Washington, the first president in the United States. George Washington was born February 22, 1732. George Washington was the commander in the Continental army, which was in the American Revolution. Washington drafted the United States Constitution in 1781, because people were not happy with the Articles of Confederation. When Washington became president in 1789, he sought out to create a new government they would prosper even through the war between Britain and France. He built the sting central government that helped fund for the national debt, he created and effective tax system, and he also created the national bank. Washington died in 1799 and will always be known as the most important president that we have ever had.[3]
The last important example of an important person in history is Isaac Newton. Isaac Newton was born
the fourth of January, 1642, and was a mathematician, English physicist, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist, and theologian. Isaac Newton, who is known by many, is considered by many to be some of the most influential people in history. Isaac Newton summarized the findings of all of the great scientists before him, for example the works of Galileo.[4] Newton described laws of gravitation, and the three laws of motion. Newton made the first practical reflecting telescope that is made of a prism, which when white light goes in, a visible spectrum of light and color comes out. [5]Isaac Newton was considered important to our world because without him, we would be lost in science, and all the laws and rules of gravity.
There are many important people in the world, but there are also many important events that are important to the world today. For example the domestication of animals was very important because without that we would still be hunter gatherers. The domestication of animals was the taming of animals through selection. Through the domestication of animals, we get animals that would not be normal bred through the natural process of breeding. With the domestication of animals, we can have the best animals to eat, that we know are not full of bugs, diseases, and they are easy to find. Also the domestication of crops was important for the history of the world. With the domestication of crops we can have the biggest, tastiest, juices foods, and with the domestication of crops we could have other things to eat other then the domesticated animals, and the food we found in the wild. With the domestication of crops, people could have as much food that the people wanted, without all the work. [6]
Finally the last thing that could be important is the object to you. For example I have a very import object to me, it is my charm bracelet. The charm bracelet is important to me because it reminds me of all the things I have done, all the places I have been, and all of the fun I have had along the way. On the bracelet, I have a different charm for different things. I have a manatee to remind me of the time I went swimming with the manatees with my basketball team; also I have Donald duck charm to remind me of the time I went to AAU nationals with my basketball team in Orlando, Florida. I also have many more charms that all have a special meaning to me. When other people see this bracelet they say it is pretty, but they have no idea what the meaning behind it is. I feel very happy whenever I look at it. I love my bracelet and it is very important to me.
As said before important can mean many things from all the important people in history such as George Washington, Harriet Tubman, and Isaac Newton, but important can also refer the events in history like the domestication of crops and animals, or the Civil war, or the discovery of America. Lastly important can also refer to important object that are important to certain people but not others, like my bracelet, so someone’s special necklace or blanket. Whatever the important thing is, you can be sure that it will never be forgotten by anyone, never forgot by the world or by that certain person who owns that special object that they just cannot live without.
