<p>Hi I’m using my dad’s account, I just finished my essay for the same topic! ^
Here it is:</p>
<p>Oftentimes, people are rigid in their thoughts and beliefs. They have a set of principles that is slow to change. When that change arrives, it is not due to an outside force. A feeling within someone causes them to change. Ultimately, people change themselves to help others they care about.</p>
<p>John D. Rockefeller was a momentous figure in history who experienced this change. During his career, Rockefeller created a monopoly over the oil industry and formed a major trust called Standard Oil. He was known to be ruthless, callous, and uncaring. One day, Rockefeller witnessed one of his employees starving on the streets of New York City. Then, a deep sense of enlightenment came over him. Rockefeller began to donate copious amounts of money to various welfare organizations. He also became the leader of the settlement house movement, which provided food and healthcare for the poor. Rockefeller changed because he cared about the American people. He knew that his business had caused a lot of strife, and he wanted to improve the lives of urban workers.</p>
<p>This theme of change in order to help others is evident in literature as well. In the novel 1984, citizens were monitored and controlled by a tyrannical government. Winston, the protagonist, was content to slave away for his leaders. One day, Winston decided to break free from society and overthrow the dictatorship. This change was due to Winston’s sense of caring. Since he did not want to see people suffer, the timid young man morphed into an inspiring leader. </p>
<p>The two examples illustrate the major motive for a change within someone. It is not created by an outside force. Instead, people change to help those they care about.</p>
