Introduction
I’ll start off with asking you a question, what would you do if there was no electricity? Nowadays we rely on electricity more than we realize it, our society is dependent upon using it in almost everything. I can’t imagine a world without it, could you? We have Benjamin Franklin to thank for this remarkable discovery.
Biographical Information
Benjamin Franklin was born on January 17, 1706, in Boston but unfortunately, he passed away on April 17, 1790. He didn't come from a superior family, in fact, they could only afford to send him for 2 years of school then, by the time he was 13 he was sent to become an apprentice at his brother's company. Long story short, he ran away from his family at the age of 17 and started his own printing company. In 1748 he retired, moreover he continued writing literature and became councilman, justice of the peace in Pennsylvania and elected member of the assembly. About 5 years later, he became ‘Joint Deputy Postmaster General Of North America’ where he began working towards independence with the other 4 founding fathers, He was the only founding father that signed all 3 of the countries founding documents: Declaration of independence, treaty of Paris and the US Consitution.

Benjamin Franklin is an inspiration as he went from having nothing to then being such a nobleman. What they have done June 1752, Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity with his famous experiment of the kite. This experiment included a kite, obviously but also a key that was tied to the end of it which connected to jar. When the lighting struck the electric current travelled down the string through the key and into the jar. Ever since that day, we have had electricity and we have luckily been able to experience one of the joys in life. If electricity wasn't discovered then we would have to resort to how life was before. Inconvenient, unparticle and difficult.
Electricity is a key resource in our lives however it makes you think what would happen if there was no electricity? Tasks that we wouldn't imagine to be so stressing, without electricity would make life just so difficult: food storage, cooking, indoor heating, boiling water, laundry, even just ironing. Don't forget communication, ever since electricity was further developed we were then able to experience the privilege for talking to anyone, anywhere any time. Whether they are right next to us or across the world we are able to contact them with a click of a button. As Robert Brault states “Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.” This shows that we should be grateful for electricity and really appretiate it as we don't know how much we need it until its gone. How you can further/ maintain their contribution Luckily in my opinion I don't think we will run out of electricity as we will probably not be running out of wind power or sun any time soon as it is a source to help generate electricity through wind turbines. However, this doesn't mean that you shouldn't conserve and protect electricity. You need to spread awareness so that everyone can be more aware about the society that we are living in. Because it does have an impact on us. The more electricity that is just being wasted just wastes our resource for fossil fuels. Don't forget about the impact it has on the environment.
Producing electricity releases harmful gases into the air. To maintain electricity we need to spread awareness about the cause and about the long term impact it will contribute. Does your chosen person fit the IB learner profile To conclude Benjamin franklin always asked questions, he was curious about electricity and always asked questions about it which led to his kite experiment. This makes him an inquirer. Furthermore a thinker and knowledagable. Moreover, he was a risk taker, during his experiment he could of died as it is really dangerous., he took the risk of being struck by lighting himself for the benefit of society to be able to advance his findings. Which makes him caring as well. Benjamin Franklin was a great man, he is an inspiration to everyone and will forever be remembered.
