部分同意作者的观点，partly agree with the author
an ultimate goal of nation is the general welfare of all its people. Meanwhile, the achievements of rulers, artists or scientists are also important to a nation.

a great nation must provide their people with general welfare. Citizens need to have a rich life in material and spirit. 举例，美国

meanwhile， the nation's people hope their country strong and realize their country's prosperity is up to themselves and the position in the world. The achievements in all areas stand  for the advance of a country. With these, the country can stand on a higher position than others. 举例，工业革命，文艺复兴，将英国，欧洲提升到一个新的高度，等等之类。

The definition of nation: A nation is a group of people who share culture, ethnicity and language, often possessing or seeking its own independent government.
（1）从定义来看，对国家的定义主要是针对这个国家的公民。一个国家应该以民生为第一要务，保障民众的福利。
（2）相对富足稳定的生活是科学技术和艺术发展的前提和保障，科技发展和民众福利不是互相矛盾的，而是相辅相成的，如果牺牲民众利益儿只顾眼前虚假的繁荣必定是不能长久的。
（3）对于人类和世界来说，一个国家是否伟大取决于这个它对人类文明的贡献。必须兼顾两者才能算是一个伟大的国家。
