Samuel Johnson: Lexicographer

Adam Smith: Philosopher

Samuel Pepys: Diarist

Oliver Cromwell: Political leader

Details:

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) published <em>A Dictionary of the English Language </em>in 1755, after many years of work on the project. It was the most commonly used English dictionary until the <em>Oxford English Dictionary </em>was first published in 1928.

Adam Smith (1723-1790) is best known for his economic theories, published in <em>An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations </em>(1776). However, he also is well respected in the philosophical field of ethics, with his notable work in that area being <em>The Theory of Moral Sentiments </em>(1759).

Samuel Pepys (1633-1703) was an administrator for the English navy and a member of Parliament. He is most famous, though, for a lengthy diary he kept for ten years of his life which provided thought and comments on events occurring at his time in history.

Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658) was the leader of Parliament's movement against King Charles I, and the military leader against the king's forces in the English Civil War. He went on to run the Commonwealth of England after the king was deposed and executed. He later took up the title of Lord Protector of England.

Were Gandhi and the American colonists fighting for similar values in their pushes for independence? Explain if they were, or we
kipiarov [429]
Yes because back then, India was a colony of England and basically owned by a company called the East India company with military enforcement. The people had no representation and also were forced to pay taxes such as the salt tax that ghandi famously went against during the salt March.
Likewise, the united states back then was also a colony of India and had no representation as well as had to pay taxes from laws such as the stamp act. Their values in fighting for independence and free reign were very similar. So yes.

Gekata [30.6K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

It is correct to say that ancient civilizations, including the Mesopotamian empires of Sumer and Babylon, have influenced modern western society in many different aspects.

Let's not forget the cultural influence of ancient Egypt, and India as well

However, if we have to pick one ancient civilization that has had the greatest impact on the Western world, probably it has to be the ancients one: Sumeria.

And we say it was Sumeria because it represented the beginning of human civilization according to historians. Indeed, Sumeria was the oldest civilization on planet earth.

One of the most important influences on other cultures was the development of powerful city-states such as Eridu, the first human settlement on earth, and other city-states such as Ur, Uruk, Lahasg, Nippus, and Kish.

And Sumerians also heavily influence other cultures and civilizations such as the Greeks and later the Romans through their interesting pantheon of gods. Yes, many deities that ruled Sumeria and this symbolism passed through the years to other pantheons, including the Olympus Gods of the Greeks.
