Impact
I believe Charles Dickens has influenced society positively. His writing has inspired change in society, physically and emotionally. He has changed our way of celebration to the end and beginning of new years, our idea of entertainment and our positive idea of society.
Dickens also influenced medicine and medical care in dozens of ways. He was also involved in the development of homeless shelters for women, the first pediantric hospital in the UK, as well as the creation of orthopedics. He has been the inspiration of some of our great inspirations today.credit to;
