呵呵，恰好以前写过，就先交这次作业再补上次吧，诚请狠拍啊，留链互拍。

历史类48"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."

1. 人们常常崇拜英雄，不知不觉中英雄的作用被扩大化了，而群众的力量则被忽略。我认为对于历史的发展来说个人与群众的作用同样重要。
2. 历史学家们由于很难将一个宏伟的历史事件全面地记录，只能记录其代表性的人物，故普通群众的贡献常常被忽略了。然而人民才是推动历史发展的根本力量，人民的作用不可磨灭。
3. 英雄和普通人的区别在于他们能够比常人更清楚地认识到当前局势并拥有组织群众的能力，而历史学家在研究历史事件时只要抓住领导者的方针就很容易抓住事件的主线，故个人对于历史的前进也很重要。
4. 离开了人民英雄不能成为英雄而离开了英雄群众就像一盘散沙，只有当他们有效地结合起来才能共同推动历史。
5. 总结：个人和群众同等重要。
Heroes, when be referred to, are always with highest glory and veneration. People’s adoration to heroes sometimes go to such an extent that the heroes are idolized as deity. Due to vary reasoning the identities of famous individuals have been emphasized too much while groups of ordinary people have been forgotten. Certainly I’m not a reformer who intends to agitate the public to object heroism, yet I only insist that both the individuals and the masses are crucial and are creators of history.

The crowd is important. Eisenhower, a great strategist of America, even as a veritable hero in American history, claimed (and I paraphrase) “Not until now do I realize, the youth always accept the person of peerless hero while neglect the influence of the crowd on compelling the wheel of history. The impacts of the masses have been forgotten and their great contributions have been distorted.” Often the significant history events and trends are absolutely complex, and to portray the whole vision of the queasy society is not so easy. Considering our historical data is so limited, historians are not able to record every one but only could register the minority in the most significant history events and trends. Therefore some representative individuals were noted as paradigms of the whole event and other ordinary people failed to be mentioned. As a result, the influences of these individuals are exaggerated and they are remembered as heroes while the contributions of common people have been distorted and the identities of them are forgotten. However, as a matter of fact, it is the efforts of a large number of the common people that make it possible for those elite few to achieve the significant changes in the progress of human society. Without ordinary people who attended the battles, leaders of evolution cannot fulfill their final goals. Chairman Mao, a great revolutionist of China, had convinced to the credo (and I paraphrase) “People, and only people, are the impetus of the history.” Resultingly Chairman Mao won the battle in China, during which ordinary Chinese gave him the best supporting. In a word, the effects of common people are enormous regardless that their impacts have always been forgotten.

On the other hand, the famous few are also vital. As the elites are the only people who have further understanding of the contemporary social condition and possess the capability to lead the large scale action, their identities cannot be replaced. What make them peerless is that they can recognize current social situations clearer than common people and they know how to arouse the resent of people against the contemporary dominators or towards the present living conditions by many political means, in the meanwhile they have the ability to organize the messy crowds together fighting for a same goal. Without heroes’ leading the common groups of people would be like disheveled sands and no evolutions could succeed even there are plenty of labors. Especially in battles, a leader plays unique role as organizer, commander, and decision-maker. “Great men are rarely isolated mountain-peaks; they are summits of ranges,” said an American writer Thomas Wentworth Higginson. The difference between elites and common people is the former have the more competence, conscience, courage and wit. For historians, researching on elites, for instance following the guide lines the leaders made, can help them catch the primary essence of the whole event. Consequently the effects of the famous few are crucial as well.

As the assays presented above, both the individuals and the masses are important in the history progress. A critic and thinker of Russia, Berlinsky, had ever said (and I paragraph) “People are like the soil which contains the entire elements that things require to develop, relatively the individuals are compared to flowers which grown on this land.” Without the soil flowers can’t live, while without the flowers the soil is desolate. Heroes need common people to support them fulfilling their goals while on the other hand people need heroes to set goals for them and organize them. Only when they two are cohered together, the evolution would succeed and the wheel of history would roll.

To sum up, the most significant events and trends in history were made not by the famous few, not by groups of people whose identities have long been forgotten, but by both of them. Partly emphasis the famous few or the groups of people are not general. 字数：734
