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.
题目分析
翻译
一个伟大国家最真实的体现不是其统治者、艺术家或者科学家的成就，而是其中所有人的全民福利。
指导
本题讨论国家伟大的体现形式问题，题目认为相对于个人成就，全面福利才是国家伟大的最真实体现。在分析的过程中，可以从统治者、艺术家、科学家的个人成就以及全民福利都可以展现国家哪些方面的内容，这些展现的表现形式、彼此之间的关系以及概括性、真实性等方面展开思考。需要注意：1、无论在论述统治者、艺术家、科学家的成就还是全民福利，论点都应该在讨论的是the surest indicator；2、题目给出的是achievements of its rulers, artists, or scientists而不是国家的艺术科技政治水平，分析要针对某人的 achievement；3、对于此题这种对比型的题目，需要注意不应孤立得去分析二者各自的利弊，而是应当将二者放在一起通过对比、类比等方法将差异展现出来，这样才能说明哪个更好。

1. 请列举历史上的几个伟大国家、这些国家统治者、艺术家、科学家的成就以及全民福利情况。并分析这些内容在我们了解这些国家的过程中起到的作用。
回答：
德国，俾斯麦、希特勒，严谨的特点。
意大利，充满了艺术气息的国度。
达·芬奇：《蒙娜·丽莎》被誉为世界美术杰作之冠，表现了艺术家对女性美和人的丰富精神生活的赞赏；壁画《最后的晚餐》则反映了艺术家创造典型人物和戏剧性场面的能力，深刻描绘了人物的性格，布局严谨又富于变化，为后人学习的典范。
米开朗基罗：他创作的罗马梵蒂冈西斯廷礼拜堂的巨幅屋顶壁画，虽属宗教题材，却充满热情奔放、力量无穷的英雄形象，被称为世界上最宏伟的艺术作品。他的许多雕塑，例如《大卫像》、《摩西像》和《垂死的奴隶》等，在技艺上较希腊古典名作有过之无不及。
拉斐尔：是卓越的画家，被后世尊为“画圣”。他善于吸收各家之长，加以自己的创造，在艺术的秀美、典雅方面大放异彩，留下了许多第一流的杰作如《花园中的圣母》、《西斯廷圣母》，以及梵蒂冈教皇宫中的许多壁画，尤其是《雅典学派》、
美国，先进的科技水平。
爱因斯坦，
亚历山大·贝尔是一位美国发明家和企业家。他获得了世界上第一台可用的电话机的专利权（发明者为意大利人安东尼奥·梅乌奇），创建了贝尔电话公司（AT&T公司的前身）。其被世界誉为“电话之父”。
2. 统治者、艺术家或者科学家的成就和国家伟大程度之间的关系都有哪些？请结合具体国家、人物以及其成就分析并简述。
回答：
国家的大环境会直接影响个人的成就。例如上述的意大利的三位艺术家都处于文艺复兴时期。而美国的科学家处在整个国家重视教育，重视科研的大环境下。
3. 全民福利和国家伟大程度之间的关系有哪些？请结合具体国家和当时的全民福利情况分析并简述。
回答：
国家如果伟大，全民福利一般不错。
美国政府每年花费大笔预算为工人提供就业和训练服务, 并补助暂时失业的人, 各州和联邦政府合作援助贫困的家庭, 特别是那些有学龄儿童的家庭, 并且为老人和病者开设各种机构, 为精神上及身体上有缺憾的儿童开设特别学校, 目前的福利措施大多导源于一九三五年的社会安全法案(SOCIAL SECURITY ACT)及其以后的许多修正案, 今天, 这项法案已普遍适用于所有美国公民, 正因为社会安全制度对美国公民的种种保护措施, 社会安全号码(美国人每人都有一个)就成为最重要的身份证件之一.
4. 同全民福利相比，统治者、艺术家或者科学家的成就在反映国家是否伟大的时候，是否存在局限性或者不合理的地方？如果没有，为什么？如果有，请举例并简述。
回答：
可能存在局限性
例如，艺术很好的时候，国家不一定强大。文艺复兴时的欧洲爆发了若干革命，政治局势动荡。
5. 还有哪些标准或者条件可以反映国家的伟大程度？这些内容同全民福利相比，有哪些优势和不足？整体考虑，是否全民福利是对国家伟大程度最真实的反映？
回答：
经济发展水平，科技发展水平。可能不准确。某国的经济一直声称发展的很好，但是人们的生活却不怎么样。

Wether the surest indictor of a great nation is the achievements of its rules, artists, scientists or the general welfare of all its people. I believe that although rules, artists, scientists is easily remembered by people, the surest indictor of a great nation is coined as the general welfare of all its people.
FIrst of all, it is on wonder that nations have been known by the achievements of a nation's rules, artists, scientists. Because these elites and their achievements are broadcasted by media all over the world, which general welfare of people can not defeat them. However, it is general welfare of all people, rather than these elites and their achievements is necessary for becoming a great nation. Because elites and their achievements can not stand for the whole country and its people, which is featured by general welfare. Renaissance in Europe presents a relevant case for analysis. Renaissance is the most important feature in Europe from 14th century to 17th century. A huge surplus of great rules, artists and scientists were sparked by the Renaissance. For example, Da Vinci was one of artists in Italy in Renaissance and is the most important artist in history. His painting Mona Lisa is known by people all over the world. But Italy can not be called a great nation in Renaissance because of frequent revolve. And people's lives were not happy in that time because of lacking welfare. The same condition happened in English and Newton is anther example. Newton who found the graviton and Newton's laws of motion is the most important scientist in world. But English in the period when he lived was not a great nation. The most noticeable of English in that period is bad live conditions because of frequent wars. And many revolutions were catalyzed by national conditions. Therefore, elites and their achievements are necessary for a great nation.
To contrary, general welfare is the most noticeable of great country. Although general welfare is not broadcasted by media like the elites, it is the basic function of country and most important feature of great nation. Government often impose general welfare to improve people's lives, which elites can not achieve. A good example of this viewpoint is Switzerland. Switzerland whose welfare is almost the best in the country is also the most valuable country. Its economy is leading the world and live condition is also impressive. Thus, it is considered as a great country. At the same time, there is a huge surplus of elites some of who won Nobel prize. Other great countries in the world also have a advanced general welfare, such as the United States and Japan. Therefore, welfare is necessary for a great country and elite is just one feature of great country.//应该说一下without general welfare，国家的状况和不能成为great nation的原因
All in all, it is welfare rather than elites and their achievement that is necessary for a great country.
