“Science is key to our future, and if you don’t believe in science, then you’re holding everybody back.” ~Bill Nye. Science is all around us and is essential for existence, so who better to tell us about it than Bill Nye the Science Guy. You all know the song that nevers gets out of your head, “Bill Nye the Science Guy, Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill, Science Rules!” and on it goes.

Even though his first episode aired 20 years ago, Bill is still affecting our everyday lives. Bill Nye is the most influential person of all time. Throughout his career, …show more content…
According to www.denverpost.com/2016/09/01/bill-nye-the-science-guy-new-show/, “Nye’s influence is hard to overstate.” It has been over 20 years since his first show aired and lots of teenagers, adults, and kids known who he is and that he hosts a science show. His influence will continue to live on because there is a new show coming out. The Denver Post article states,” IndieWire reports that the veteran science communicator will star in a new series called ‘Bill Nye Saves the World,’ set to premiere next spring.” The show will be on Netflix and cable. If this one has as much impact on the community as the first show did, Bill Nye will be around and known for awhile. Bill Nye is the most influential person of all time. He captures kids attention and teaches them the fundamentals of all life. Some might say that he has done nothing to contribute to science except make a show teaching kids about scientific discoveries that others made. Although Bill didn’t make the discoveries, it is important that today’s youth learn about those findings and Bill Nye the Science Guy makes kids want to learn about those topics. As Bill once said, “The more you find out about the world, the more opportunities there are to laugh at it.” Let us all laugh at the world and learn about
... and our sense of guilt with his documentary. Which, while is not the most admirable technique, it causes the audiences to start thinking about what they are doing to help or hurt the educational system, and what our kids are receiving from the educators around them.
The most successful approaches to the public’s acceptance of scientific information are the cues from political leaders, persuasive syntax, the use of narratives, and research into a scientific source’s
Albert Einstein declared, “The most important thing is to never stop questioning.” Questions help extend our knowledge by opening our minds to change and new possibilities. The excerpt talks about the mindset that scientists need to become successful and the process they go through to make new discoveries. In The Great Influenza, John M. Barry educates citizens of the everyday challenges that scientists face through utilizing rhetorical questions, cause and effect, and contrast.
Barry successfully conveys the many traits that scientists will endure in their work, and the qualities essential in order to be successful by using three effective rhetorical devices-- exemplification, powerful diction, and insightful figurative language. He uses his experience with the flu epidemic and rhetorical strategies to prove his claim that there is much more to science

The ill affects felt by the United States in the aftermath of World War I and The Great Depression caused many to feel that the U. S. needed to steer away from another war. In an effort to stay neutral, in 1935 Congress passed what was known as the Neutrality Acts that kept American ships and people from becoming involved with International conflicts. During this period Congress was influenced heavily by Isolationists who strongly protested against any involvement in the European and Asian conflicts in addition to avoiding any entanglement in the International politics.

Next, he the starts restating the word research a lot to get it through to the audience that with research we can help the betterment of our future generations. He also states that “We don’t need to raise taxes. We just need to raise our expectations.”
Bill Gates also knows that the development of energy innovations are not only important, but are needed if we expect to keep the earth viable. With Global climate change becoming more obvious than even before, we need to find a way to minimize the damage we cause on our earth, that is why Bill Gates funds research projects every so often, “like in 2011 when the search for a more efficient toilet, that relies on the sun rather than on
Beyond the transcendence of science for which he is most famous, Albert Einstein made great contributions to American society and the world as a whole through his attitude, philosophy, and values. He was a free thinker who regularly challenged assumptions and conventional wisdom, inspiring future generations of scientists and engineers to do the
History has brought many influential scientists. Sir Isaac Newton is perhaps the most influential scientist of all time. Without his works and discoveries, mankind might have been set back many decades or even scores in scientific and technological advancement. Therefore, because of his tremendous impact on mankind, it is important to study Sir Isaac Newton's life and acheivements.
Inventor and astronomer Galileo Galilei is one of the most well-known scientists in the history of the world. Galileo has been credited for many astonishing inventions such as the pendulum and the telescope. Through many years of research and studious acts, he discovered behaviors of the universe that still hold true today. Galileo, “the Father of Modern Science”, changed the world.
Bill Nye is a key figure in the scientific community. His outreach to children and his involvement with educating the public and furthering scientific inquiry and research make him one of the most influential scientists of the 21st century. Bill Nye grew up in Washington DC, after attending Sidwell Friends School, a private school in Washington DC, Bill went to Cornell University and majored in Mathematical Engineering. Bill started his entertainment career with a show called Almost Live, a comedy show where a sketch called “Bill Nye The Science Guy” had Bill do small experiments on the show.

Dr. Michael Shermer is a Professor, Founder of skeptic magazine, and a distinguished and brilliant American science writer to say the least. In His book The Moral Arc: How Science Makes Us Better People he sets out to embark on the daunting task of convincing and informing the reader on sciences’ ability to drives the expansion of humanity and the growth of the moral sphere. Although such a broad and general topic could be hard to explain, Shermer does so in a way that is concise, easy to understand, and refreshing for the reader. This novel is riddled with scientific facts, data, and pictures to back up shermers claims about the history of science, humanity and how the two interact with one another.
Exploring the deep, dark realms of outer space, developing new energy efficient cars, and coding computers to make life easier are all areas of science that Elon Musk has effected. In his youth, his thirst for knowledge could not be quenched. He read every book and never ran out of questions to ask about the way machines worked. College life helped Elon Musk learn the skills he would need for the outside world. As a professional entrepreneur and the CEO of three companies, Elon Musk has effected almost every area of science. Throughout his life and career, Elon Musk continues to serve as a role model for people in all fields of scientific work.
If we have learned anything at all about the uses of science in the second half of this century, it is that it has had an unmistakable influence on contemporary trends and outcomes. Science has helped to make the world smaller, spatially, and larger, numerically. It has multiplied our choices and scaled up our risks. Based on science we have put humans into space and opened a new arena for warfare. Science has illuminated human beginnings and shaken age-old postulates about human worth and destiny. Science has unlocked material abundance and laid new burdens on irreplaceable resources. It has expanded human potential and dramatized human limits. It has advanced clarity and magnified uncertainty. It has penetrated the deepest reaches of knowledge and held a world hostage on the edge of crisis.
