政治家的影响:政治家作为民众的代表,应该做出最明智的决定,制定最合理政策,发布最公正的法律。比如
(正面例子)二战期间,最伟大的英国首相温斯顿•丘吉尔做出最明智的决定,与苏联结盟,租借美国的武装力量。他用强有力的全国演讲和卓越的外交技能,使人们免于德国的折磨,并设法帮助结束第二次世界大战期间,促进全球和平进程。
(反面例子)阿道夫·希特勒,纳粹的臭名昭著的独裁者,在第二次世界大战期间,启动了对犹太民族可怕的大屠杀和传播民族中心主义的观点,认为德国是世界上最杰出的人,这严重破坏德国在国际上的形象。
科学家的影响:科学家能够让我们享受最新科技带来的便利。例如,詹姆斯·瓦特发明了蒸汽机,引发工业革命,标志着一个新的时代开始:蒸汽时代。托马斯·爱迪生带来地球上第一个电灯,使每个家庭享受无限的光明。④亚历山大·贝尔,电话之父,为世界带来了电信时代。
但是,如果科学家心存邪念就容易被反人类势力所利用最终危害整个世界的和平。德国物理学家P.E.A. 勒纳德,在1905年赢得了诺贝尔物理奖,后来成为希特勒持久的追随者,通过制造一些有毒的化学物质谋杀成千上万的犹太人。
It is an indisputable fact that the driving force behind the development of every society is generated by people from all walks of life, especially politicians and scientists. However, when it comes to who exerts greater influence on human society, opinions tend to vary. This essay aims to explore the issue from different perspectives and draw some suggestive conclusions.
No one can deny the fact that influential politicians constitute the major impetus in any social development. Acting as the representative of their citizens, these political leaders are supposed to make the wisest decision, manipulate the soundest policies and issue the fairest laws.
Winston Churchill, the greatest British Prime Minister during the Second World War, for instance, made the wisest decision by allying with the Soviet Union and rent armed forces from US to fight against Nazi. With his powerful speech delivered across the nation and preeminent diplomatic skills, he saved his people from the torture of Germany and managed to help end the Second World War, thus promoting the peace process worldwide.
On the other hand, Adolf Hitler, the infamous dictator of Nazi during the Second World War, initiated the terrible massacre against Jewish people and spread the ethnocentric views, holding that German is the most distinguished people in the world, which, of course,severely damaged the image of German on an international level.
At the same time, the role of scientists can never be underestimated since without their effort, hardly can we enjoy the convenience brought about by the newest technology which is basically initiated by their researches.James Watt, for instance, invented the steamer which became a trigger of the Industrial Revolution and marked the beginning of a new time: Age of Steam. Thomas Edison brought forth the first electrical bulb on our planet and enabled every household to enjoy infinite luminosity.Alexander Bell, father of the first telephone, shook the world with the dawning of telecommunicating era.
Nevertheless, besides being a blessing,science can also become a curse when it is manipulated with some unjustified purposes. P.E.A.Lenard, a German physical scientist who won the Nobel Price in Physics in 1905, became a persistent follower of Hitler and murder of thousands of Jewish people by producing some poisonous chemicals.
To conclude, scientists and politicians benefit our society in different ways and the saying that one way is superior to another seems to be fallacious. However,at the same time, we are supposed to be aware of the negative effects of both sides and take some precautions to prevent some potential disasters from happening.
