John D. Rockefeller
This week in class we have been studying and learning more about four strong, men figures that have made a huge impact on todays life. My group and I have been doing research mainly about a man called John D. Rockefeller, who was a millionaire that owned a huge company called standard oil back in the 1800's. Many people see him today as a bad person, and yet some see him as a good person that helped many. In class my group and I have been researching facts saying how he was a negative impact towards society because of the fact that he was greedy, and only cared about success, Rockefeller once said that he got his success because thats what gods will wanted him to be. Rockefeller was also greedy because he would go around threatening his opponents to work for him, or else he'd make them go out of business.

I agree that Rockefeller was a greedy man because he ran his opponents out of business.
ReplyDeleteI think he was a bad man, but his oil company progressed America to where it is today. He went about his business in a greedy, mean way, but if he didn't then he probably wouldn't have been as successful.
