Penicillin is still currently being used worldwide today, due to it curing many people and preventing them from dying. Alexander Fleming has made people all around the world extremely grateful for this life changing discovery. Even though Fleming did discover penicillin he did have some help from two young researchers. The researchers were called Howard Florey and Ernst Chain. The two-researchers teamed up with Fleming do make penicillin more efficient. The researchers and Fleming succeeded, and the antibiotic was used for the first time in World War II. This was to prevent the soldiers becoming sick ad hurt. The soldiers were extremely fortunate because without this antibiotic many more lives would have been lost in the war. As time progressed the antibiotic became stronger than it first was, although today the antibiotic is incredibly different. Today scientist have different tools that Fleming didn’t have access to. This allows the scientists today to adapt the antibiotic in a better way to make it more efficient. This will then benefit more people because they would become cured properly and in a small amount of time. People may seem that Fleming would be angry about other scientists adapting to the antibiotic, although if anything Fleming would be happy with this because even, he would agree that the penicillin he made wouldn’t save as many lives today. This is why the world needs to acknowledge Alexander Fleming’s work.
Alexander Flemings’ work has clearly improved society today. Due to his discovery of penicillin he has prevented millions of people from dying. This has helped societies health all around the world. With lots of diseases spreading all around the world, the world would live in complete burden due to them having no cure. Although with the input of Alexander Flemings’ discoveries the world has been benefited in many ways. This is why Alexander Flemings work has improved society today.
Overall without penicillin today the world would be in a different state. If it wasn’t thanks to Alexander Fleming accidently discovering this life changing antibiotic, we would have no idea when this antibiotic would have been discovered. It is safe to say that even Alexander Fleming became lucky, because even he himself didn’t realize what he had discovered until 10 years later. This shows that majority of the population would have suffered without this life changing antibiotic being accomplished. Although due to the antibiotic being discovered and finalized to its best sate it vital to say that Alexander Fleming’s discovery has benefited the world.
