thesis for soc? Options

[alli]

okay so i have to do this huge paper for social studies .at least 3 pgs ..and i need to write a thesis about how the person changed the world as people know it. and how we still use their inventions today. and i have to do my project on this guy philip danford armour.. he was an inventor who helped build meat packing into a great industry...can somebody help me make maybe a thesis about him? or can find any info. on him..cuz i cant find like any?? thanks a bunch! =]

EDIT
this is what i have so far...
thanks for all the help! i came up with this thesis so far:

Philip Armour helped build the meat packing industry by creating regeration systems following the Civil War. These systems were the foundations for todays methods by which we transport and store foods that require storage at cold temperatures. This technique enabled large citys to develop at distances away from the farms

does that make sense to anyone? if it does..now i just have to write a three pg. report on him :( .. i was thinking doing it like with these topics:
A. the motivation behind the invention
B.The difficulties of the making the invention
C. How it impacted the time period
D. The affect it had on other inventions
E. The signifigance of the invention for society

now i just need to find info. to back it up..can anyone help me find some good info.? maybe biographys on him. or something i can use to make an introduction? thanks for all the help! you guys are great!

the only thing that i can think of is that this invention helped increase the shelf life of meat. meaning, meat can now last longer. it can be purchased for others to buy instead of having to slaughter your own cow, which is time and money. it may help decrease infection and spreading of diseases seeing the meat is well packaged. also, the meat can be reused instead of having to be used all at that moment so nothing is wasted. i dont know, but good luck! go to the library, there may be something there you can research on.
