ISSUE48 - "The study of history places too much emphasis on individuals. The most significant events and trends in history were made possible not by the famous few, but by groups of people whose identities have long been forgotten."

I agree with the speaker's idea that we should not emphasize the importance of famous indivisuals too much and ignore the function of the average people. Still, in my points of view, the most significantly historical events and trends were made possible both by the outstanding indivisuals and groups of people.  


Turn to history, we can find that many fantastic wonders were creating by the average people, instead of those few. Take the pyramids for example, no matter archaeologists all over the world haven't reach a conclusion how those huge and grand pyramids were build, it is widely believed that thousands and millions of hard-working and wise Egyptian salves completed the tough task and made the seemly impossible possible. Additionally, the ancient Roman amphitheater, as well as the Great Wall in China, is the masterpiece of the groups of people. Even though we do not know each of them, we cannot deny the fact that they did have the ability to make a difference as the famous fews did.


In many other realms, the brilliant few would not be successful without the anticipation of the populace. For one instance, if there were so many employers working in the factory, the car that the Henry Ford invented might be just an article of invention displayed in the science museum. It was the workers that made the cars into mass production, which led to the Henry Ford's success. Moreover, a general would not win a war, without the courageous struggles of the soldiers. Like how could Mao Zedong rule out the invasive Japanese armies by himself, without the brave soldiers and masses' support? It is the same case with the victory over the the Kingdom of Great Britain by forcing the enemies out of Boston during the American Revolutionary War , commanded by George Washington, the first United States' presidents.  


Though groups of people was important to the famous ones, the famous ones were also very important to the groups. Lacking the wise and correct leadership of the outstanding few, the efforts of the populace might turn out in vain or led to unpleasant endings. In ancient China, there was a famous war involving the two countries, Zhao and Qin. Though Zhao had 8 times more soldiers than the latter, Zhao was defeated due to the inexperienced and unpractical way of leading of the general. From this, we can see that an unwise leader might cause the whole army's failure, even he was likely to win since he owned more soldiers.


To sum up, both the famous few and the anonymous majority have equal significance in pulling the society forward. We should spare no effort to study indivisuals as well as the groups for a better and comprehensive understanding of the society.
