The general welfare of a nation's people is a better indication of that nation's greatness than are the achievements of its rulers, artists, or scientists.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim. In developing and supporting your position, be sure to address the most compelling reasons and/or examples that could be used to challenge your position
A nation can be declared “developed” by evaluating the indicators of its overall development in parameters—education, equality, economic condition, employment, infrastructures, etc., -- which helps to distinguish the nation from less developed or developing one. Achievement-qualified to limited people – top business tycoons, politicians, artists, and few scientists—does not clearly ascertain the greatness of the nation but rather delineates the ruling of a few crafty people for their own advantage. With this mentioned view, I am sympathetic with the given statement to some extent about the claim that the betterment of all general people is far more important than that of only a few.
A nation is considered “great” or “superior” only when the nation can provide its citizen with their basic rights and life development facilities. A nation became great when it can function for the betterment of its people on the way towards the upliftment of life of the overall populace: not just only limited to higher classes. Say, the United States of America is called a great country because of the services it provided to its general citizen in the overall field of development – education, security, infrastructure, insurance, and many more—which is titled its name as a great country. It also symbolizes why America is considered a great country.
The common thought to perceive the condition of the people of a nation is either good or otherwise, is the situation of the people residing in the country rather than the achievements of the ruler of the country or scientists in a certain field. For example, North Korean people live a miserable life-- disconnected from the outside world, lack of human rights, freedom, and information, and are imbued in poverty although the scientist of that country achieved a great leap in nuclear weapons and war-machine. Although the rise in power of its ruler—Kim-Jong Yun—has increased the living standard of people hasn’t improved rather got worsened. From the above-mentioned position, it is clear that instead of the sophisticated development by a few people, the overall development of common people is a better indicator of the nation’s greatness.
Some might argue that the achievements of artists, scientists, leaders sometimes point out how great the nation is. A nation can be well known throughout the world as the epitome of its peculiarity and great accomplishment. For instance, Dr. Sanduk Ruit – a great eye surgeon from Nepal— with his achievements in the field of cheapest cataract surgery in the world has won many famous awards including ISA awards. Also, with his initiation, Nepal produces the cheapest intraocular lens of any other nation which is a great achievement in the field of cataract eye surgery. Also, the Great ancestors of Nepal—Bhakti Thapa, Amar Singh Thapa, and Bala Bhadra Kuwar—fought bravely during the Anglo-Nepal war which helps to protect the sovereignty of the nation and can claim that the country which is never conquered. From these examples, we can clear that sometimes the greatness of a nation can be elucidated via the fleet of leaders, scientists, and a few people.
At last, though a few people’s achievements can also recognize a nation as great, the strength of the overall greatness of the general people through common welfare cannot be undermined by the facts. A nation in the world can be taken as great if both combination of general people’s welfare and the achievements of the selective but effective people stand idiosyncratic from the rest which will stand out the nation as a great one.
