Whether we have much more emphasis on individuals than the groups of people? this issue is a complex one ,since it involves a complicit between the really different function of the groups and individuals .in my point of view ,the final judge should depend on a case-by-case analysis of the two situation, I tend agree with the view that the groups of people made the most significant events and trends in history.
Firstly, in the river of history, groups of people present the benefit of majority human being. History’s trance has its special trend, however, when the majorities have chosen the direction for the times and for themselves, history cannot deny the majority of people. even though the leader of these movements have get the much emphasis, but, the right of the choose still controlled by the people not the individual .For instance, the Winston Churchill who is a great politics in British, undoubtedly, during the second war time, he leading the people of British defeat the German, however, the sacrifice of the soldiers on the battle field was the really reason why the victory would be get. If we forget the soldiers, otherwise remember the primer Winston Churchill, the significant events wont happened.
Secondly, it is unfair to give all the credit to the famous few. Nothing would be success leave the group of people .for example, when it comes to the renaissance, most people would think about Leonardo da Vinci who is the famous painters or Michelangelo who is the sculptcher in Italy they are the leaders of the renaissance time, people mentioned them always pries them as the great famous human being as the light in the dark, however, the philosophers and the painters in the mean time that we didn’t know that really caused the renaissance .Yet few would agree that the renaissance would accepted by people if they leave the help of these philosophers and the painters. Hence, the most famous events and trends in history were possible because the group effort.
Moreover, most of the famous individuals are widely mentioned in history because of there superb leadership skills, no one can deny their excellent talent about leading people, however, even though the leader has the charming to provoke the group of people join the movement, if the leader lack the supporting of majority people there would be never victory can get .for example, Martin Luther King ,the most famous black revolution leader, admittedly, he do his best to change the situation of race discrimination and prejudice in U.S.A. however, if he loose the support of the black people ,he wont get the most attraction from the medial and appealing the other districts people’s attention and the supporting.
To sum up, due to the above mentioned reasons, which sometimes correlate with each other to generate on integrate whole and thus become more convincing than any single one of them .In my observation the history never would be happened occasional, and the most significant events and trends in history were made by groups of people. |
