TOPIC: ISSUE48 - "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."
WORDS: 576         
History are made by people, but we always focus our concentration on the famous few people and ignored the widely common people, in this way the research of the history is somewhat biased.The speaker claimed so.While I concede that common people can not be ignored due to their huge contribution to our long histroy;however, it is accessible that our study of history emphasis on that individuals as the most typical characters can surely reflect the significant event in that period.
There is always some remarkable person who plays an indispensible role that we can ignore in the event.These person have done some certain things to make the history, without them, those events won't happen and whole history will be changed as well. Consider about the military area, Hitler became an unique politician and militarist to roll the wheel of Germany on a mad wrack and ruin. Reminding the history of that can we say that it was the German themselves to choose that way? Orcan we added that the way the people chose was under the misleading of Hitler? Then can we concluded that it is the influence of Hitler that misled Germany to be an unstopppable war machine. As a result, the name of Hitler replaced the identities of groups of people who participate in his activities. Furthermore, to mark a certain period or a particular incident, people tend to name it after the most important person who concern to that. The mausoleum of the first qin emperor is of course not built by first. Qin emperor himself but his great architects. However, we still name it after its owner, for it represents a distinguished character of the Qin's times.
Admittedly, the history is inflenced by the famous. The history is created by the common people. Karl Marx used to state that the author of the history is no one but the common people. It is one of the basis of his famous theory about the capitalism-Das Kapital. It is brilliant architects who had built up the Great Wall and Egypt Pyramid. Without the architects' hardwarking,the historical places of intereast will never appear in the wold,nor being remembered nowadays. Without the blood and braveness behaved by the soldiers in the battlefield of the Second World War, none of the famous leaders such as Hitlr, Roosevelt, and Churchill will be remembered.
We can not deny that those famous people make significant contribution to the history and left some marks in the history that can not be erased. Those contribution let our study know what specific event is occurred in that period and let our histroy turn to be more clearly. For instance, talking about the Second world war, it is inevitable to mention the name such as Hitler, Roosevelt, and Churchill. In some aspects, the had determined the trend of the military history of the world history. Nevertheless, the war will not break out without soldier, and it indeed involved lots of citizens, but only the decision of the chairman of the country can be the indispensible part of history as well as the chairman himself.
To sum up, due to the analysis and instances mentioned above, we may safely arrive at the conclusion that the study of history indeed places too much emphasis on individuals. Althought the signigicant events in history were made possible not by them, but by groups of people. However, without those famous few, the significant events may not exist at all.

我觉得写的很精彩！
充足的例子和严密的逻辑，精彩的文笔保证了本文的质量！
只是有两个小瑕疵。
1.There is always some remarkable person who plays an indispensible role that we can ignore in the event. "can ignore"改成"cannot ignore"
2.个人意见是不是需要拿出一段来单独说说历史应该focus on what?
