Who or what had the most impact on the development of modern western civilization?

So I'm taking the course, CHY4U (World History: The West and the World) and our final culminating activity is the question above. We can argue about the contributions of a person, event, ideology or philosophy. It can be anything from the sixteenth century to the present, but we have just gotten to the industrial revolution now so I don't want to go farther than that.
I'm just looking for ideas so I'd appreciate any. Something nice, something thoughtful, creative... Something I can write five pages about!! (1250 words)

Thanks :)
