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!

in your thesis, you should state what he accomplished and what significance these accomplishments had on society. for example, if i were writing a paper on helen keller (yes, a role model for me), my thesis would be something like:

"helen keller overcame her disabilities, graduated from radcliffe college, and became a celebrated speaker and author; her perseverance and discipline have inspired young women throughout the world."

the first part lists her accomplishments, which will be developed and explained later on in the paper. the second part states the significance of these achievements. your thesis should basically state your main purpose and the points that you're going to develop throughout your paper. my english teacher explains the thesis as a "so?" and a "so what?" the "so" is what the person did; the "so what" is why it's important.
