Answer 7

The obvious religious figure would be Jesus Christ.

Never has one person been loved and hated in such equal measure.  The calendar used in much of the world is largely, though not exclusively based around him, though I'm not a Christian; he certainly revolutionised many societies.

In the east, you could use Gandhi.  Like Martin Luther King; he achieved massive change in society with silent, non violent protest.

You could use Albert Einstein, or Marie Curie if you want to go for a science based project.  Marie Curie is the only person to win Nobel prizes in two different categories:  Physics and chemistry.

However; some of the other posters have also made exellent suggestions.

Just some suggestions of my own.

Answer 10

Answer 11

Well, you could do Johannes Gutenberg, the creator of the printing press.  He essentially revolutionized the world, helping it get out of the middle ages once and for all.  

Before him, books were extremely expensive and only the rich could afford them.  With the invention of the printing press, more people would learn how to read, write, and share ideas.  

This also started the spread of mass media and accelerated learning because more people simply had access to a greater variety of materials.
