In the first place, the unique brand of hero does reflect, and indeed must reflect, some characters of the hero’s society for the reason that the fact that they can be chosed to be the society’s heros or heroines must due to their qulity, which must reflect some characters of the sociery at some extend. So, learning something about those famous few can more or less help to recognize some respects of the society. 2. However, there is also this kind of situation: the reason why we choose a person as the society’s hero is just because he or she just have some characters which may be just unique and maybe even going to extinct in our society. Moreover, some heros or heroines are always reflecting the ultimate ideals and value of the entire society. In the war time, for instance, most people who cherish the hope to the peace may certainly to focus their attention on the heroes and heroines who have enough courage and capability to defeat the enemy. This circumstance does not mean that the heroines of the war can represent the features of the war but to means that people place certain amount of the reliance on these personalities to eventually achieve the success or the peaceful climates in the overall nation. 3. Moreover, there are also some people who are regarded as heros or heroines just for the reason that they have some unique capability in just one specific realm. Take sports heros as the first example. In my opinion, sports heros are just chosen for their athletic powers and this cannot represent a society’s features. 成功學 3 月北京第 25 In any realm of life whether academic, social, business, or political the only way to succeed is to take a practical, rather than an idealistic, point of view.

Different people have different views according to their different experience, beliefs and positions. The arguer is in favor of that the most significant events and trends in history were made by groups of people whose identities have long been fotten. Though one can hardly say with certainty that history was created by the very individuals or ordinary people, in my view, I agree with the arguer’s point more. 1. Admittedly, in some areas such as art and science, a group of key individuals have played a more crucial role than fettable groups of people. It is Newton, who laid the foundation of calculus, formulated three fundamental laws of mechanics, leading to the law of gravitation. It is Einstein who put forward Theory of 1c0cbc0bfd9cb9a592702f5d5506e10e Editted By Addison Wang 2 Relativity and also gave a perfect interpretation of the photoelectric effect. It is Beethoven who left the world with so many great positions, which are so infective, unfettable and can not be replaced. It is Shakespeare, who created the greatest English literature. 2. However, most of the time, the most significant events and trends in history were made possible by groups of ordinary people. Though decisions were made by the key individuals but they were pleted by fettable groups of people. Take the Chinese famous historic building, Great Wall, as an instance. Though it is the first emperor of ancient dynasty Qing who decided to construct Great Wall, however, without thousands upon thousands labour forces how can the great wall be established? And Pyramid perhaps can be regarded as the similar example to illuminate this point. 3. In another place, though the famous few played a crucial role in some significant events and trend in history, sometimes these trends are inevitable and if without those famous few, there would be others played such important roles instead of them. President Abraham Lincoln gave the American Civil War a new political direction. He had freed Negro slaves in the rebel states of the south as well as saved the Union. His contribution to human freedom can not be fotten, however, if there were no Abraham Lincoln there might be another Lincoln sooner or later to fulfill this great mission. 4. Additionally, we, mon people, all flock to the powerful and the beautiful. Thus, newspapers and TV stations report a mass of information, even trivia sometimes, to cater for our taste. Therefore information about the famous individual was kept down but insufficient materials of groups of people were remained. So, possibly, it is we ourselves, the mon people, who have shaped the history, such that it concentrates on important individuals 藝術家和評論家 3 月北京第 13 It is the artist, not the critic,* who gives society something of lasting value. *a person who evaluates works of art, such as novels, films, music, paintings, etc. 是藝術家而不是批評家，給了社會一些永久的價值。s military manders and even business leaders gather obtian information that help them to operate more efficiently and effectively. 2. History is a source of prediction and can avoid us making the same mistakes in history. Otherwise, as the saying goes: those who do not know the past are condemned to repeat it. Therefore quite a few people look for experience and guidance from learning history. For example, the lessons learned from all of the past wars ca
