disagree

1. history is an incessant amassing process, it is impossible and insignificant to record everyone and every minute event.

2. when study history, we stressing much on severl individuals is because they are representative, could stand for the mojority.

3. learning significance of individuals is not to remember the individuals themselves, but to learn what the significance of their thought, behavior, the event they led bring to us, and indicate us the main direction of our life.

4. admittedly, sometimes......（这种让步是否可以借鉴GRE阅读里最后的说法？：D）

在阅读里面有个文章是关于精英历史的, 可以当作这个题目的正方论据. 因为历史是选择性的, 而且是忽略一般群众的. 如果要采用支持的观点的话可以从这个角度来陈述.
the topic of this issue topic: the greatness of individual
so, when writing, you have to give a general statement about this topic, to state your idea about this topic.
writing an essay, if you fail to state the general statement at the very beginning, it equals to say you fail to earn a high score.
so, be careful

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."

这篇文章主要是关于FAMOUS PEOPLE和群众之间的关系, 审视他们在历史发展中的作用.

在自然科学的发展过程中, 个人的作用是不可否认的, 科学家,发明家从他们自身的兴趣出发或者从社会的大背景出发,进行科学研究, 可以说在这种情况下, 群众的作用是不明显的.

但是一旦我们转入社会政治学领域, 人们群众的作用就显而易见了, 每一次社会的大变革, 都是在一些个人的领导下, 利用群众的力量而达到的. 但是我们究竟该怎么样去衡量这种群众力量的重要性呢?这些个人为这些活动提供了SPARK.,点燃了群众的意识, 并使这些运动能在更为有序和有效的的环境下进行. 否则一团散沙的运动是注定失败的.

所以领域的不同适使得个人发挥的作用不同,但是在何种轻快下,我们都不能否认领袖的力量.

只有半个小时的时间,所以我大概写了点东西, 供参考,但是可能文章的组织还有一点乱. 而且还有例子没有加进去,大部分是思路的东西.有写过这篇的也可以贴上来.

What we have observed frequently on history documents of significant events and trends are the sparking luminaries who were supposed to fundamentally change the process of history. These luminaries hold torches in their hands and lead the general mass marching towards progress, emancipation, freedom and wisdom. But we could wonder sometimes that what role did the masses play in these revolutionary events, are they simply blind followers of leadership or are they rational individuals who contributes in one way or another?

Admittedly, in the arena of natural science, what we always see is lonely individuals work onerously in their entrenched shrines to meditate for the sparking of idea. Since the majority of human invention are brood not of the social background but rather out of personal curiosity, general public were excluded out of this process either due to the lack of relevant academic proficiency or foresights of the results brought out by their inventions and researches standing ahead of time. But once these scientific researches and inventions were push to the society and turned to be efficient means of improving productivity, it is the public who become the immediate beneficiary and propelling power.

But when it comes to the sociopolitical area, we are confused by the fact that almost any successful revolutionary attempt are a mixture of the joint effort of heroes and general public which we hardly now their identities. Usually the historians devoted most energy to analyze the social background, influence and leaders of a events and the action of masses are usually be
omitted to one or two sentences like “ without them, we would not have expected such a overwhelming victory”. It is understandable since human nature directed us to focus on what is sensational, unusable and brilliant and the leaders or heroes happens to fit into this category perfectly. Moreover, with numerous ordinary people involved into this upheaval, it is seem unrealistic to document individuals and document them as a whole would appear to be abstract and pallid. Heroes, on the other hand, ignite the spark of enthusiasm and fervor of public with exceptional foresight and courage that arouse the self-consciousness and anger against oppression and inequity. What is more, without them, the action will lack proper organization, as sand spreading randomly on the beach whose result was doomed to fruitless failure. History provides numerous examples, which aptly illustrate this phenomenon. One is the social insurrection in French named January revolution. (GRE阅读上有一篇文章是关于二月革命中人们群众的身份问题,可以查阅,我就不详细写了).
In sum, I fundamentally agree with the speaker’s claim that public do contribute significantly to the progress of history by providing support, impetus and even sacrifice under certain circumstances. But I still find his claim to be problematic since he unconditionally categorizes that now matter in any social area; public’s contribution has been unfairly neglected which are obviously not true in natural science field. At the same time to place too much on individuals is not because historians’ ignorance to the power exhibited by ordinary people, but rather due to the lack of relevant materials concerned the general public and a natural inclination to focus on the represenntative figure of that group.
