限时一小时后不成功,又加了部分例子。
===================================================
1.There is no denying that in some areas, especially in scientific field, the greatness of individual can be recognized by people who follow them.
2.However, In the realm of business, society and people can readily recognize the greatness of individual.
3.In some areas, it is possible that the greatness of individual can be recognized case-by-case.
===============================================
Can the greatness of individuals be decided, by those who live after them, or by their contemporaries? The speaker asserts that the greatness of individuals can be decided only by those who live after them. I disagree with the speaker's claims. In my view the greatness of individuals can be recognized, whether by those who live after them or by their contemporaries, which is based on a case-by-case analysis.
There is no denying that in some areas, especially in scientific field, that the greatness of individuals can be recognized by those who live after them is more just and comprehensively than them by their contemporaries. In their contemporary, due to the technology it is difficult to get comprehensive information about the individual. Moreover, people are readily limited by traditional customs or individuals profits. In any event, it is entirely possible that the greatness of individuals cannot be evaluated justly and properly so that many scientific contributions can be found after the scientist died. History is replete with examples that tells us only by those who live after them can the greatness of individuals be recognized. A classic case of this occurred early in the 20th century, when the German geologist Alfred Wegener suggested that the continents were at one time connected, a theory known as continental drift. At the time, most geologists discounted Wegener's ideas, because they most believe the fluid theory that can be utilized to explain some phenomenon in geology and geophysics. But following the discovery of plate tectonics in the 1960s, in which scientists found that the Earth’s crust is actually made of moving plates, continental drift became an important part of geology.
However, in the realm of business, the greatness of individuals can be readily recognized by their contemporaries. For example, Under the leadership of its founder, Henry Ford, the company implemented the assembly-line method of mass production and made cars affordable for middle-class consumers; Bill Gates found the Microsoft that completely change the world. Of course, the Dos and Windows make people better use computers; Zhang Ruimin, an entrepreneur in China, found the brand of icebox---Haier. A series of successful strategies have been run to make it product available for the public. In short, their contributions that can be far-reaching for nation or even the world can be recognized by their contemporaries.
Still in other areas like art, the greatness of artists lies in the unique thoughts and particular aesthetics faculties, hence, it is unavoidable that some artists might not be recognized by their contemporaries but done by followers. On the one hand, due to limited customs and skepticism from authorities, the greatness of some artists can not be recognized, yet after many years, people can realize the greatness of some artists can make an evaluating. Vincent. Van. Gogh, the greatest Holland painter, who was the father of the Impressionism in painting, was totally unacceptable and unappreciated by his contemporaries during his whole life. His contributions and genius were discovered more than one hundred years later and regarded as the most outstanding and glorious artists of his time. On the other hand, the greatness of some artists can readily be recognized by their contemporaries. Beethoven’s symphony quickly make him become the most musician in his times; Michelangelo has become so famous because of his work his Pietà, the colossal statue of David at Florence, and the cartoon; These examples illustrate that their talent and intelligence can be accepted and appreciated by their contemporaries, which make the greatness of them recognize.
In sum, in terms of different areas, the greatness of individuals may be recognized by those who live after them or by their contemporaries. Therefore, to judge the greatness of person, we’d better do based on the case-by-case analysis. |
