TOPIC: 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."
WORDS: 436          TIME: 00:47:00          DATE: 2010-7-27 17:10:24
Similar to the belief of the speaker, I agree that although heros have played important roles in the advancement of the history, the work by the unknown ordinary around us is always the fundamental force behind the progress of the society. We shall be careful not to overemphasize the importance of individuals' work for the following two reasons.
First of all, an undue emphasis on the role of individuals in history may be an obstacle in promoting the awareness of people to take up their responsibility for the society. The exaggerated stories of heroes may unfairly attribute the progress in history to the efforts of several individuals, which is actually made possible thanks to the contributions by millions of unknown people. Therefore, we are not in the right position in getting common people at the modern society to obtain the initiative to actively working for the overall betterment of a whole society and  facilitate the progressing of historical events. My opinion is that the emphasis on common people in history is especially important in schools, so that children will feel proud to be one indispensable part of the history, and will get themselves better prepared to contribute to the society.
Second, I am afraid that too much emphasis on individuals will encourage blind worship of heroes, which may be taken advantage of by dictatorship. Unfortunately, we have seen enough cases of this sort in the 20th Century. The start of WWII is coupled with the rise of dictatorship in Germany and Japan, where the two dictators, Adolf Hitler and the Japanese emperor, got immensely revered at home as the hero of the nation's history. Sadly, the down with Nazis gave rise to the up with communism dictatorship, as a result of putting the merits of the victory of the war to a single man in the country. In the Soviet Union, it is Joseph Stalin, who was accused of abuse of power and even genocide after his death; in China, it is Mao Zedong, who was later believed to be responsible for the destructive Cultural Revolution; in North Korean, it is Kim Il Sung, who was globally regarded as the father of a totalitarian nation. If the great job done by millions of common people have been fully acknowledged, as in the US or UK, the people may have every reason to protect their right to govern the nation, and the power of the ruler may get tightly checked and balanced.
As a conclusion, over-emphasis on historical heroes is unjustified and harmful. We shall divert our attention from the shining heroes to the common man and women around us, who are indeed building the society and making the history.
