ISSUE48
"The study ofhistory places too much emphasis on individuals. The most significant eventsand trends in history were made possible not by the famous few, but by groupsof people whose identities have long been forgotten."
The author statesthat our concentration on the famous individuals while doing history study isexceeding, which I am afraid I can not agree with. Furthermore, he(his)argumentthat the most vitalturn(turning) points arecreated by the wild(?) ordinary people rather than the distinguished minority,tough has some reasonable places,I (主语不同所以应该是两个单独的句子)would like to sayit is partial in some sense. My understanding of the importance in studying thehistory is both focused(focusing) on the famous fewand the nonentity.
Actually, ourhistory research is mostly based on the individuals. This existing fact hasdeep rooted background reasons. Firstly, the accounts of the past which isa kind of significant material for us to study history are limited because thepoor development in the past, at the same time what was rarely extant islargely concentrated on the description of the minority who are of suchimportance that is regarded worth to be taken down by people at that time.Therefore, we have no choice but(加to)depend on the accounts of the minority to learn our history. In the secondplace, the famous few sometimes truly created a new era and can be therepresentative of the time he belongs to. For example, when it comes to thehistory of the Second World War, a person immediatelycome into our mind, who is none other than Hitler(a person whoimmediately come into our mind is none other than Hitler). In some degree,he ignited the fire of this catastrophe, bringing millions of people intodeaths and lots of counties and cities destroyed.When talking about the history of China, one period of phase will be highlighted,at which time a great leader lead Chinese people get ride of the ruling of theinvaders , finally we Chinese really stand up and become the master of our owndestiny. This great leader who influences the whole history of modern Chinauntil now is Chairman Mao. In sum, the study of the famous few is necessary andis never too much to be exceeding. What is more, the study of the famous fewshould be more deep(deeper) and continuing.
On the other hand,as the writer states, the history can hardly be made by the few minority, nomatter how significant they are. The minority play an important part in thehistory. A great leader can do nothing without people observe his order andagree with his arrangement. One person, however strong he is, can hardly make bigchanges only on himself. Just like a successful concert need not only a famousconductor,but also the band.Even though, thatdoes not mean we should loan more emphasis on the large group of ordinarypeople. (这一句感觉和你整个文章两者都重要的基调有点矛盾)It is becausethere is the near-to-zero account of these people, as well as the time andenergy spent on it will largely exceeding its meaning, thathamper our desire to do so. As far as I am concerned, the both are equalingimportant in studying our history. We should balance the distribution of the energyand time on both. Only in this way can we truly take the advantage of thehistory to let we human beings move further on.(这一段论述的侧重感觉还是倾向个别杰出领袖而非大众)
In a word, thefact that our study of history is relatively focused on the famous few isnecessary and should continue to be more deep. At the sametime, historians are supposed to balance the study of the famous few and thelarge group of wide ordinary people.
