I would appreciate correction."when sutying the past, is most important famous or ordinary peolple?" History is formed not only by a large number of significant celebrities and events, but also every single human being have, in certain measure, an impact on that. Who are key to understand the History could be argued. I believe that we cannot forget population in that task. It is undeniably true that famous people may mean crucial milestones due to their importance. Most of them are linked to a paramount events, historical fact and discoveries. Therefore, knowing about them is important. To illustrate, it well-known that Einstein was a particular man who had a cognitive disorder called “Asperger Syndrome”. This led him to have different thoughts. As a result, he postulated “Law of Relativity”. If we had not known this, it would have been more difficult to understand such a prodigious discovery. Nevertheless, the population also provide us with major details to interpret society, economic and politic in a particular time. This is because predominantly celebrities do not reflect that reality. For instance, during the Roman Era low social class were slaves as a whole. Throughout this, we are aware that there were a hierarchy society where the leader was rich and powerful and the population vulnerable and poor . To sum up, there is no doubt that famous characters should be analysed when studying history. However, from my point of view, common people also provide significant details for a deep understanding on History.

¿Qué tal Cristina? A raíz de tu comentario en la corrección de Shasa he estado curioseando por aquí. Hay cosas que cambiaría pero ya tienes dos correcciones. Sí que te quiero comentar que la frase 'Who are key to understanding History...' me ha llamado la atención. No me sonaba bien y la he posteado. Para que el mensaje sea más claro y también el hecho de que es una 'embedded question' me han sugerido esto: 'The question of who are key to understanding...' A mí así me queda más claro lo que quieres decir. Gramaticalmente las dos son correctas. Un saludo y espero que estés llevando bien el lockdown interminable ;)

I would appreciate correction."when studying the past, are the most important people famous or ordinary?"

History is formed not only by a large number of significant celebrities and events, but also every single human being has, in certain measure, an impact on it. Who are key to understanding History could be argued. I believe that we cannot forget population in that task.

It is undeniably true that famous people may show crucial milestones due to their importance. Most of them are linked to paramount events, historical fact and discoveries. Therefore, knowing about them is important. To illustrate, it is well known that Einstein was a particular man who had a cognitive disorder called “Asperger Syndrome”. This led him to have different thoughts. As a result, he postulated the “Law of Relativity”. If we had not known this, it would have been more difficult to understand such a prodigious discovery.

Nevertheless, the population also provide us with major details to interpret society, economics and politics in a particular time. This is because predominantly celebrities do not reflect that reality. For instance, during the Roman Era low social classes were slaves as a whole. Throughout this, we are aware that there was a hierarchal society where the leader was rich and powerful and the population vulnerable and poor .

To sum up, there is no doubt that famous characters should be analysed when studying history. However, from my point of view, common people also provide significant details for a deep understanding of History.

I would appreciate correction, "W=hen studying the past, which is most important - famous or ordinary people?"

History is formed not only by a large number of significant celebrities and events, but also by every single human being that has, in a certain measure, an impact on that. Whose stories are key to understanding history could be argued, but I believe that we cannot forget the general population in that regard.

It is undeniably true that famous people should be included when studying critical, historical milestones due to their importance. Most of them are linked to paramount events, historical facts and discoveries. Therefore, knowing about them is important. To illustrate, it is well-known that Einstein was a particular man who had a cognitive disorder called “Asperger Syndrome -" this led him to have different thoughts. As a result, he postulated “Law of Relativity”. If we had not known this, it would have been more difficult to understand such a prodigious discovery.

Nevertheless, the general population also provides us with great information with which to interpret society, economics and politics during a particular time. This is because celebrities do not reflect that reality. For instance, during the Roman Era low social classes were slaves as a whole. With this in mind, we are aware that there was a hierarchy in the society where the leader was rich, and powerful, and the population vulnerable and poor .

To sum things up, there is no doubt that famous characters should be analyzed when studying history. However, from my point of view, common people also provide significant details for a deep understanding of history.
