Thinkers are（are应该不要） great leaders to put people more in touch with their feelings, foibles and fate—in short, with our own humanity. Without ideologists, people would lose themselves in the universe. But most societies do not take their greatest thinkers seriously, even when they claim to admire them. Through close scrutiny, I agree with this to some extent.
Thinkers’ work is (The works of thinkers are 我觉得你用thinker 加s是复数，work 应该统一) always obscure and far from practicality as well as pragmatism. In this era of rapid(rapidly-changed) social and technological changes, what people seek to (to 应该不要) is the useful products and methods from which we （they） can get profit. Obviously, great thinking is not in people’s line. For instance, comparing the thinker’s manuscript with a book introducing famous tycoon’s economy opinion, vast majority of the publishers will choose the latter which pander to people’s taste of making money. In the main, today’s entertainment moguls, movie directors and public celebrities are concerned with practicality and profit, and (but and 没错，呵呵，不过我觉得but要好些感觉，你也斟酌下呢) not with thinking.
People like to explore their own viewpoint instead of simulating other’s opinions especially the great thinkers’. This is the time to advocate personal character, however, the identical thinking sounds tedious and meaningless. To show distinction with commonplace people, one is apt to hold his own thinking not blindly worship the thinkers’. Also, nowadays the aim of education is to cultivate students with free thinking. Stuffing with other’s opinion or thinking is an outdated as well as unreasonable way to teach student.
Though these thinkers are not taken seriously even unfashionable, what they left is still the precious treasure to （for）human development. Take the example of Karl Marx, the great thinker from Germany(who is one of great thinkers from Germany), his masterpiece makes huge effect on the shape of Soviet Russia and China. Even now, there still (a mass of) scholars study and explore his thinking as well as propagandize his spirit. Without his theory, the communism might come out decades later and there would be an outright difference about the world’s structure. Also, in China, Confucius’ some principles like “two heads are always better then one” help people build proper and positive attitudes as well as lead them to the brighter future. All in all, to some extent the , great thinkers’ theory penetrates(兄弟，你看这里用复数表达方式是不是要好些) through people’s life value（the value of the life of people） and does a favor to the confused people.
In the final analysis, it’s true that sometimes societies do not take their greatest thinkers seriously, even when they claim to admire them(兄弟，你第一段已经照原文引用过了，这里应用应该改写后再引用). But (However,) because of the fundamental faith of human beings in the true, the good and the beautiful, the great thinker still play a important role in people’s life and in society’s progress.
兄弟，good job, 不过我想你的论点是在一定程度上同意这个观点，但是我觉得你在第三个论点（也就是马克思和孔子）反对主题的时候在用词上并没有显得思想家仍然确实还是在一定程度上受人们尊重和重视的，
另外我觉得马克思那个例子还是少用，特别是提到共产主义好，因为西方世界虽然很尊重马克思这个人，认为他很伟大，但是他们认为共产主义是一种极端主义思想，和伊斯兰教差不多，是一种非常危险的思想，一不小心就会混到恐怖主义的行列去，所以，建议你少用，即使用，也只提马克思这哥们很伟大，创造了一个伟大的思想，但是别说这个思想非常好，非常使用，虽然说老美改卷子要客观，但是改卷子的也是人，从小受到的熏陶和教育产生的偏见不是说客观就能完全客观的。
：）我觉得你比我写的好多了，呵呵
