GRE Issue:

Claim: The surest indicator of a great nation must be the achievements of its rulers, artists, or scientists.

Reason: Great achievements by a nation's rulers, artists, or scientists will ensure a good life for the majority of that nation's people.

The phenomenal achievements obtained by the rulers, artists and scientists are of great significance as they bring pride, fame and laurels to the country. But it is difficult to ascertain whether these achievements ensure a good life for the majority of the citizens of the nation. This is quite a contentious issue. However, when observed factually the countries fame and laurels may not ensure a good life of the common citizen.

The factors that ensure a good life of the citizens cannot be generalized and attributed to the achievements of popular It is based on a variety of factors.Some of these factors could be a growing economy, low unemployment rates, health and food security. These factors will truly ensure that even the common man is able to keep his family satisfied.

The achievements of the rulers, artists and scientists in no possible way generate revenue for the common man. A popular painting made by a renowned artist will make the nation proud, but in no way does it help the common man overcome the difficulties in life. An invention by a scientist may bring laurels to a nation, but it will not help the people financially or socially. Unless, the invention is implemented by an entrepreneur to build a company, thereby creating jobs and employment for the people of the nation.

The true unsung heroes of the nation are its Entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs with their innovative thinking help a nation in a variety of ways. First they create jobs, these jobs are taken by the people of the nation. Hence, it reduces the unemployment.

Thus it can be observed that the work done by the entrepreneurs improve both the economy and the standard of living of the citizens of a nation.

But this positive influence is not enough as the person should have the determination and motivation to succeed within himself. To ensure a good life is in ones hand and should be willing to pursue success.

Considering all the above factors of the need of a growing economy, low unemployment rates, health and food security necessary for a satisfactory life it can be concluded that the achievements of the rulers, scientists and artists may bring fame, pride and laurels to the nation but do not ensure a good and satisfactory life for the majority of the nations citizens.
