------题目------
An individual's greatness cannot be judged objectively by his or her contemporaries; the most objective evaluators of a person's greatness are people who belong to a later time.
------正文------
Can the greatness of an individual be judged more objectively and reliably by descendants rather than people today? I fundamentally agree with the speaker that compared with contemporary judgment, the evaluation from later generations are more objective in most cases; however, I take the conservation that the absolute assumption of the speaker that contemporary judgment is of absolute prejudice and of no sense.
The reasons why usually the evaluation later is more of sense compared with that from today can be generalized into two aspects: the environmental factors and the man-related components. On the one hand, as the judgment and evaluation towards an individual is actually the reflection of a whole society and public, the outside surroundings could influence and guide the trends of the judgment. For example, if a nation needs to raise the patriotism of the mass when in the danger of invasion, the enthusiasm of a certain individual could be referred as the greatness; accordingly, the evaluations concerned about him/her should aim at awaking more people. Thus, exaggeration and "white lies" may exist in the process however out of the will to extricate the country. The contemporary people, to some extent, are blind to see the truth clearly due to the numerous influence from outside; yet the decedents, unrelated to the people and the social conditions, tend to more focus on their contributions and manners to draw a more objective conclusion about the greatness.
On the other hand, the people at that time with the individual being evaluated have weak points themselves to draw such an objective conclusion. For supporting examples, one need no further to look upon the admiration of Hitler in German under the rule of Nazism. Being educated in the concept that they are the best human race on the world, the youth in Germany hated the Jews and took Hitler as their "father to lead Germany into prosperity and everlasting greatness". It is well known that evaluation is ridiculous and totally wrong due to the heavy racial discrimination and intense will of violence and invasion. Yet the people in Germany at that time had lost their conscience and capability to distinguish what greatness really is and to what extent they actually is; let alone to evaluate their leader objectively. In all, the man-related components are of importance to explain that why people contemporary are hard to evaluate the greatness of individual correctly and truly.
Meanwhile, the decedents are free from this restriction and taboos to seek out the truth behind the history, thus to draw a comparatively objective judgment. People nowadays are not necessary to worry about the punishment from outside society when they have to penetrate into national secrets to dig the scandals about a national hero that nobody could deny him/her when he/she was alive. Also, it becomes reality that people could get a full vision about the whole environments of an individual, including not only the manners and contributions he had made, but also the outside environment, the reliability of the reports, and the social conditions. These factors all could benefit us to obtain a more objective judgment towards the contribution-- in other words, the "greatness" --of a specific individual historically.
However, it doesn't mean that contemporary judgment and evaluations are of no use or even of no sense. Judgment from profound understanding and careful investigation, although they may exist at the same time with the individuals, obviously reflects on the greatness of the people. No one can deny the greatness of Churchill, no matter at his time or in this century, after reading his stories and measurement taken by him in the Second World War. Therefore, to simply draw the conclusion that contemporary judgment is of no objectivity is too arbitrary.
To sum up, as far as I am concerned, to evaluate the greatness of a person should be based on the complete consideration of all factors and possible options, not simply when the conclusion is made. Generally speaking, the later evaluation is of more objectivity due to the reasons above; yet it never imply the total objection and denouncement of the contemporary comments.
