nanunem_d12 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 "The surest indicator of a great nation is not the achievements of its rulers, artists, or scientists, but the general welfare of all its people." In this era of technological advancements and globalization, the significance of a nation is judge on the basis of various integral factors. These include the achievements of the rulers, artists, scientists, and other major eminent people as well as the general welfare of all the common individuals of a country. They both have an equally important role in making a nation reach higher, better levels globally. General welfare of all people of a country is definitely an indicator of its greatness. A country where the overall living standards of the citizens have improved with a growing economy clearly shows that there exists a strong and lucid bond between the country and its masses. A country where this bonding is weak and tenuous is prone to be defamed and criticized. If a nation cannot pursue advancements in regards to its common people, it cannot sustain in this era of globalization. As an example, a country like USA is called the super power of the world not just because of its leaders, scientists, etc. but primarily due to the fact that their is an active involvement of the country's population in every aspect of progress, whether it is a financial concern or a political concern, the masses are valued as an esteemed part of the discussion. Thus, making it a nation level progress which indeed results into a cohesive achievement. The common people of a country and their progress along with the nation indicate major pointers which help a country to be known as great. These pointers include equality, correctness, consistency, democracy, and many more. Absence of a coherent progress within a nation shows clear weaknesses in these areas. For example, if a nation cannot provide its citizens with the right of being equal irrespective of their financial, racial statuses, the nation will be rebuked all over the world due to a biased approach. But, at the same time we should also not forget the role of the achievements of a country's rulers, scientists, artists, etc. These people are the precursors for a country's progress. If a country lacks people like Abraham Lincoln, Albert Einstein, Shakespeare, they are deprived of the vision to a brighter future and the feel and enthusiasm for enjoying the present. These personalities along with their accomplishments help the country to be seen on the global map as a major contributor to the world. Furthermore, these forerunners of a nation are idols for the masses and act as a solid piece of encouragement. These people contribute by boosting the morale and confidence among the common man that a dream, an idea can be converted into reality if we work diligently and dedicatedly for it. They show the way for success and advancing to people who don't dare to think out-of-box due to various internal constraints. Mahatma Gandhi, for example came out to be one of the most influential personality of his time who persuaded millions of people to turn out a dream of being a free nation into reality. Therefore, I would like to affirm that a nation is great not only just because of the achievements of its rulers and scientists, but it also requires steps of strong progressions from the masses. The role of the global achievers and the common man towards making a good nation should be seen as a coherent, collective, and inter-dependent phenomenon. ________________________________________________________________ It will be really appreciated if I can have your inputs on this.
