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!

Philip Armour helped build the meat packing industry by creating regeration systems that is still used today in transportation and food storage at cold temperatures, and revolutionized ... blah blah.. idk (how this affected the industry/technology/economy?)...

Since the "thesis" is usually packed into one sentence, I suggest you condense what you have so far.

The first part of the paper should then cover how he "helped build the meat packing industry with his regenerating systems". The second part should talk about how this technology has changed or how it was so effective that it remained the same and how well it works, or why it is still used today. Then lastly, how the technolgy changed other techs or helped the meat packing industry or even broader... how it helped different industries....

That's one of many ways you could do it.
