issue36: The greatness of individual can be decided only by those who live after them, not by their contemporaries.
1.      诚然，一个人的伟大之处，可能由于评判标准的不同，由于知识水平的局限，而不被同时代的人所接受，很难为同时代人所客观判定,只能期待后世的评判；例如在艺术领域，梵高就不被当代人接受，但是后世却将他的画视为珍宝; 哥白尼就惧怕日心说被教会反对，所以在临死之前才将这个言论发表
2.      然而有很多人的伟大之处是在他的时代就被认可的，比如牛顿，爱迪生,贝多芬，Bill Gates等等
3.      毕竟人的评价也是主观的。某些科学家或政治家的作为对contemporaries 有好处，但对the people who live after them 有害处（比如今天的资源过度开发），可能也有反过来的情况。这样就会出现两个时代的人的评价是矛盾的。
Should the greatness of individual be decided only by those who live after them, not by their contemporaries, as the author alleges? The author claim so, for the reason that he or she believe the greatness of individual can be decided only by those who live after them. In a sense, I tend to concede that sometimes the contemporaries do not realize each other clearly. However, in my point of view, greatness of individual can be decided not only by those who live after them, but also by their contemporaries.

First of all, we can not define who is a great man by changeless standard. Due to the level of education is different many contemporaries can not know them and their contributes clearly, who do not acknowledge the greatness of individual. For instance, the great printer--Vincent Willem van Gogh prints many perfect productions such as Starry Night. But his brother always relieves him before his death. People in that age only know he cuts off the lower part of his ear after an argument with Gauguin, and then he presented his ear to a prostitute. Although Van Gogh sold only in the life of a painting, he is the impact of inestimable. Another example is Copernicus who is polish astronomer. He advanced the theory that the earth and other plants revolve around the sun, disrupting the Ptolemaic system of astronomy. Yet, due to avoid the persecution of the ecclesiastic, he brought forward before he dieing. Therefore, we would expect later generations to give an equity judgment.

Nevertheless, not all the great men only are defined by who live after their. To illustrate this point clearly, we can see that many great persons like Newton, Tomas Alva Edison, Beethoven, Bill Gates and etc. For instance, Bill Gates entered Harvard in 1973, and dropped out two years later when he and Allen started the engine of Microsoft. With size comes power, Microsoft dominates the PC market with its operating system, such as MS-DOS and Windows. Now, Microsoft becomes the biggest software company in the world and Bill Gates becomes the richest man in the world. Hence, everyone believe he is a successful man in any generation.

In addition, the opinion from every one is subjective. Sometimes it is ambivalent. In order to see this point clearly, let us see an example. Today some scientists and politician as contemporaries believe exploitation of resources is better for our society. When we use too many resources, the person who live after us will Have not enough resources.

To sum up, these is no fixed standard to judge who can decide the greatness of individual, the persons who live after them or the contemporaries. Due to analysis and reasons mentioned with each other to generate a signal one of them, and we safely arrive at the conclusion that in present we need see the greatness of individual clearly by all persons’ view, even who is their contemporaries.
