10 Teachers Who Changed The World
There isn’t a person among us who hasn’t had their lives touched by a particular teacher. Teachers inspire us and help us realize our full potential. They help us to reach our goals, whether these goals are personal, professional or academic. Throughout history, teachers have improved our quality of lives through education and have done so without the need for praise or personal recognition. It is their dedication and hard work that improved the lives of their students and enriched the community in which they lived and worked.
Of course, some teachers have a greater impact on society than others. There are teachers who have stamped their mark on civilization as a whole and has dramatically changed the course of history. Today, we are going to be discussing 10 teachers who changed not only their local communities and the lives of their students, but the whole world as well.

Confucianism is a complex system of moral, philosophical, social and political thought that had a dramatic influence on Asian culture.

It’s influence can be seen in many Eastern Asian countries who continue to make laws based upon the system’s main concepts of moral cultivation.
2. Socrates

7. Erin Gruwell
