48"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."

提纲：
1。历史是由人民创造的（举例，南北战争）
2。我们通过标志性人物来记住历史，研究历史。因为他们反映了当时，有代表性
3。但我们现在也是一样，过多的关注了某几个人，演变到关注他们的丑闻

We continually learn form history, for its countless experience. History reflects the current statements before but the same value as present. But what is the credence of history? Whether what we learnt are the stories created by all the past heroes, or the sad truth of the poor majority?  As to me, I think history are made by demos, and we just learn it by some individuals performance.

Dating back the history, it is not difficult to observe that nearly all the dynasties of a long period are pull down by groups of people, and a new leader is elected subsequently. People are the major power of a revolution, or some events, since they can touch the true life directly. Therefore, if they cannot bare the exploitation and pressure, they will require a new government--even we all know it is only another exploitation and pressure. As the old Greece code, the government is one of the executive of a contact, which confirms the relationship between government and citizens. It has to serve for public, and citizens give the rights of menagements for exchanging. Thus, people have the decisive rights and inevitable obligation to verify each reign--not several heroes or empires. Such as the civil war, we should say Lincoln used the strong power of slavers successfully, but not say Lincoln changed our history himself.

But another problem is coming in front of us. How can we record what happened in the past? Shall we write down each name of those who have taken part in the battle? Or we should memorize everyone's background in this revolution, but have no time to consider the specific procedure and the historic meaning/significance of it. The answer is obvious. We have to choose to remember those minor heroes or representative figures, since we are impossible to record as detailed as what happened in the past. Fortunately, it does not mean that we have to lose our  history, but some individuals are remained notable, which fascinate us extremely. Those figures, not only the politicians, but concluding other fields such as science, art, and industry, stand the current features marked/notable. From them, we can understand the spirit of that period, the culture and desires of the major people at that time, and even the aesthetic view a certain phase in history, in a large degree. So, we can achieve a lot only from a few persons, which can be the most efficient method.

When we promote the view to our present society, it becomes a tragedy oppositely. Today, we emphasize our idols with impressible enthusiasm, having reached a terrible situation.  During the present selection, we can see the report of Kerry's wife's ex-husband; we also can see Bush's daughter's boyfriends on the television. Even in the executive period, we can see an underwear stolen form Cliton's study. Nowadays, the advanced technology brings us sufficient news and information, seizing any opportunity. The individuals' scandals fulfill my ears, my eyes. This is also a false tendency in our society, too much emphasis on a person  contributing  the collapse of him.

Thus, no matter researching history or present, the major power of maintaining maintenance a society should not be forgotten, but the importance of heroes or leaders have to find a balance to the public, or it can only lead to the disappointment of themselves.
