    I concede the speaker's assertion that the study of history that give priority to individuals rather than a group of people is not a judicious method thoroughly reflected the entire picture of a society. After all, the society is not merely constitutes those individuals, whose experience and capability are extraordinary, but the whole group of people. Nevertheless, the potential propose by the speaker that we should put more emphasize on the research of the people as a group is unnecessary, unworthy, or sometimes impossible to achieve.
Admittedly, those remarkable scientists, politicians, philosophers are social elite, who made great contributions to the process of our socialization. But the revolution of the history can not be propelled only by such individuals, for they 're vulnerable, powerless compared to the large group of people. It is the endeavor and arduous exploration of the people in every field that enable the advancement and booming of our social economy. One example that aptly illustrates this point is the industrial revolution,originated form Britain in the mid-18th century. Thousands of mechanics, textile workers, coal miners exploited all their efforts and enthusiasm into the wave of industrial revolution. They improve their technique by abandoning the obsolete methods, incorporating the advanced production ideas in other countries, as well as using new tools with superior functions and efficiency. Their feats are so unmeasurable that it is unwise for the historians to give credit only to the eminent individuals, while reluctantly mention one more word to the people as a group, who are in fact the main force in the industrial revolution.
Nonetheless, the people in the group were quite ordinary , which made them less attractive and easy to be forgotten. The absence of the evidence and documents related to them made modern historians impossible, though may be interested in, to trace their precise behaviours. For example, few historians would not be curious about the life which our historic ancestors led : how did they hunt, what did they eat, and by what means they defense coldness, the attack of wild animals,and invasion of disease. However, they could only work out rough extrapolations based on the fractured skeletons and blurring words engrave on the stones that have been unearthed or just unsubstantiated myths.
My another contention with the speaker lies on the purpose of studying history. By getting to know the past, we acquire instructive theories and motivated by spiritual wealth. The luminaries are beyond doubt our excellent paragons, for they all sparkled with legendery experience and unique personalities. Francis Crick, a physicist, together with James Watson, a biologist, worked out the molecular structure of DNA,. They combine physic and biology through exploiting X-ray diffraction technology and molecular theories, which is an epoch-making breakthrough unlocking the mystery of life. Another telling example is George Washington, who is not only a  characterized as an international icon for liberation and nationalism, but also a person with noble virtues. Unlike other politicians only concerned about being elected and reelected, he had no intention of seeking fame and wealth and refuse to run for a third term, establishing the customary policy of maximum of two terms for a president.
To sum up, studying prominent individuals without neglecting the group of people does ensure us a through understanding of history. Nevertheless, considering the difficulty in obtaining the useful informations of the ancient people as a group and the target of studying history, I can hardly identify with the speaker's claim as a whole.
