When it comes to the realm of history study, too much emphasis seems to be placed on individuals. Were the most significant events and trends in history made possible by groups of ordinary masses instead the famous few? In response to this issue, we need to analyze the proposition comprehensively and systematically. To some extend I agree with the speaker's general assertion that the history emphasizes too much on successful individuals and that the importance of those ordinary groups should be recognized. However, a far more compelling argument can be made that both "the famous few" and "the average groups" are crucial to the study of history and an all-sided consideration is needed in evaluation of the historical contributions.

First and foremost, there is no denying the fact that many great events and historical milestones should be attributed to the efforts of groups of people whose identities have long been forgotten. Admittedly, masses are the basis of all the revolutions and remarkable historical events. Without the hard work of millions of rank and file, it would be more than impossible for the wonder of the world--Chinese Great Wall--to exist. Furthermore, the over-emphasis on heroes may lead to personality cult which is harmful to the development of society. The tumultuous phenomenon of the Cultural Revolution of China well illuminates this point. During the sixties and seventies, Chinese people identify Chairman Mao as super hero of China and they firmly believe in whatever he said regardless the correctness. The result of this blindly adherence was the serious impact in economy as well as other aspect of the nation. Hence, we should affirm the significant contributions of those masses while at the mean time objectively evaluate the contributions of "the famous few".


Despite the significance of groups in the history, as is mentioned above, I tend to disagree with the speaker's general assertion that most momentous events and trends were made possible by those who have long been forgotten. Firstly, it was the decisions of the political leaders and the masterpieces of excellent artists and philosophers that provide the direction of the essential events or trends and usher the history in a new epoch. Can you imagine the civil rights movement be successfully organized by a large group without the leadership of Martin Luther King? Can you imagine people all around the global could just easily start the World War I&II without the command of nations' decision makers? Apparently, masses need bellwethers. Moreover, we need to consider the possibility for historians to record the details of ordinary people of different times. The lack of sufficient documentations and materials makes it hard to examine the daily life and activities of the masses. Even the study of a single important figure requires a large amount of time and efforts, let alone the countless masses. In short, heroes are the leaders of the historical events and the social trends, therefore, it is much easier and efficient to record history and review the characters of the age base on significant events and figures.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the speakers seems to fail to consider the genuine purpose in the study of history. Rather than simply display and rebuilt the past, the core of history consists in contributing to moral understanding and passing the noble spirit of humanity from generation to generation. On the one hand, the shining characters such as the imagination of Edison and his persistence to realize dreams inspire the world; on the other hand, the pains and suffers in war time, "thanks to" dictators like Hitler, urges us to seek for collaboration and peace in a global scale.


From the analysis made above, I commit to the optimal approach that we need to seek a balance between individuals and the masses and make all-round evaluations. Without the directions and trends provided by "the famous few" society would be in chaos; without the support and hard work of "the average groups" historical events would be impossible. No matter who contributes more in the history, the individuals as well as the masses should all be appreciated as our well-beloved ancestors.
