Question

Why do we always build so many statues and monuments in honour of our leaders and none in honour of The People, the ones that contributed mostly to the greatness of empires. kingdoms and republics?

Answer 1

history cares about the leaders only.

Answer 2

Vc tem razão...construímos monumentos aos guerreiros e lideres políticos...e ao trabalhador que sai pela manhã deixando sua família nem sempre tão bem...nos esquecemos.

Não construimos monumentos aos jovens que absurdamente vão a guerra e se mutilam...e sim ao comandante ou presidente que ordenou a matança...irônica situação!

Abraços.

Answer 3

It is instinctive for the majority to show deference to the minority. The consequences if the reverse should ever occur would be catastrophic. The minority in equation will be nothing but part of the majority if the majority did not exist. In the same way, kings, emperors, presidents would not be great without the help of the people. The people exist so the former could be part of the minority. Otherwise, they are just part of the people.

Answer 4

Common people are nothing without their leaders, whereas leaders are nothing without their people. Which people's statues would you like to see be put up? Come on. Besides it's not only leaders that get fame. Scientists, artists and humanitarians do too. No matter what kind of life you lead, a mediocrity is never going to be publicly appreciated.

Answer 5

The people make the heroes and commerate their eternity by erecting statues for the future generations to recognize their greatness.

Answer 8

People need to be organized. Not all people are good leaders. So be it. Those who knows how to lead people became one. One who knows how to be a member and followers became one. So each is complementary.
