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."

The speaker claims that the galaxies, who conducted and led the revolutions in history, influence less than the general public which have been longly neglected. The assertation seems plausible insofar as the amount of people of leaders versus common people, which give a direct shamble that shadow the significance and determinant of the minority. In reality it is also unforgettable of the individual contributions in any time, compared to the forever mentioning general public, which could be explained as follows.
The few individuals did play an important role in human revolution history of any areas. Despite of the relatively small quantity, the so-called minority usually has more talents in leadership and reasonal thinking, keeping the overall mainforce of history, in other words, the general public, free from the states of chaos and unrational. Here is an proper example, the name of the hero is the world-known Mahatma Gandhi. The idol vacillated in the way of how to win the independence from the United Kingdom at first. Being the gentle class of Upper Indian Nation and with so much practices of successful parades and violent resistence against the police, he believed that the only way to beat the immigrationism was to exercise the guidance of Satyagraha and non-violence. After the general public believed in the gospels and put them into practice, certainly with efforts and time, the India and its people became independent. It is because of the thought of Gandhi in peace resistance that Indian people barely encountered too vast cost of lives and time, and Gandhi, called as the father of India, was honored generations after generations.
However, only with the contributions of leaders, the success will never patronize the leaders and their supporters, which alludes that the general public is one of the key factors of history. As the majority of the cast of human history, the common people never fail to express their feelings, commit their deeds, resist the evils and sing the hymns. Anyone who want getting the political power or something similar has no other way but to cater the public, beating his or her opposers and competitive peers, finally come to be on the top of classes. Gandhi did prompt the success of the independence of India, nevertheless he relied on the ordinary people to uniquely defy the domination of British Empire. Without the suffering but still strangling ones, Gandhi might be arrested, persecuted or even assassinated before the independence of India, being totally weak confronted with the immigrate officals compared to the condition of supportance of almost every Indian.
Furthermore, comprehensively speaking, the leaders and the public believed in them are just like peas and carrots, which is reluctant to be set apart. If the society functions as a ship, then it can be concluded that the captain is the leader and the sailors are the people. Captains are responsible for hand the helm, keeping an eye on the iceberg which might appear even at every second. The sailors cooperatively drive the ship free from being static or regressing, and obey every order from the captain.
Summarily, contemperary life is relatively peace and with no many conflicts or wars compared to the last century, in which the two world war broke out and even cold war before the disappear of Soviet Union, and someone might believe the essence of leadership cultivated from a younger should be eliminated. I disagree with the idea because of the war might not be in battles, which can transform into other styles such as business, politics, where competitions happen. Also, not only competitions but also cooperations need leadership too. Of course, not everyone could be a leader, which could discourage somebody. But one galaxy once said, "The soldier who is unwilling to be a general couldn't be a good one". |
