Issue 120

Should the measurement of a great nation be its accomplishment of its governors, artists and people who study science? The speaker said so because he or she thinks that the majority’s well being should be considered the elementry foundation of a nation, and those people's accomplishments will increase that welfare. I very much tend to agree. There's no reason to deny what those people have done for the building and advancing of a nation.

"The ruler is the soul of a nation." Socrates said so. In his view, the ruler plays a vital role in a nation, so that person should be what he called "the King of Philosophy", what he considered to be the wisest and most competent role to benefit the people to the largest extent. Apart from the example of Socrates, the great Western philosopher, an example of a dynasty in ancient China can also illustrate the importance of the ruler for a nation. Qin Dynasty is a tremendous unified empire in ancient China, followed a chaotic scene in which a lot of small nations fight with each other to gain the bigger power. The ruler of Qin country, Yingzheng, carried out a lot of strong policies and finally unified the whole countries. After unifying them, He also employed a lot of intelligent and competent people to do useful things to the country and its people, such as broaden the road and unified the coins. This fully illustrated the ruler's role in a nation's brilliance.

When talking about artists, what occurs to me first is the time when numerous brilliant and patriotic artists and literary man spurred out to enlighten the country. That period is the so called Renaissance. At that period, the role that artists played is more or less of more importance than anyone else. It was an age of enlightenment, making great differences both for France and the history of human beings as a whole.

Scientists never absent in human being's history, even it may not be called so in ancient times. People in early Egypt who invented the tools for intigrate, and those who find a way to calculate the movement of sun and moon and eventually invented the lunar and solar calendars are so important and made great attribution to the people and the whole world that they will never be forgot. People like them made ancient Egypt and Greek brilliant throughout the world and the history.

A nation's greatness and well being, of course, cannot be accomplished without other people, and it depend on them to thrive and to be prosperous. But there is no denying that those three kind of people--rulers, artists and scientist plays very important and vital role, so that they can become the measurement of whether a nation is great or not.
