Claim: The surest indicator of a great nation is not the achievements of its rulers, artists, or scientists.
Reason: The surest indicator of a great nation is actually the welfare of all its people.

---Prompt---
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim and the reason on which that claim is based.

---My Response Essay---
Welfare of all people of a nation could not be the surest indicator of a great country.

Although the achievement of the capable talents in the nation is as well an indicator, this or even the welfare are both too narrow to be the best index. Surely, welfare demonstrates certain scenes how people in the nation live. However, it is a concurrent status, which could not last long. For example, Canada used to provide unaffordable social welfare and end in dramatically shouting down some services in a rush. Leaving a great debit for the next generation of people should not be consider as "great".

A great nation could be great in many aspect such as giving births to all human beings, holding long history, helping other countries in disasters, or generating rich human culture, but none of these are of its welfare. For example, my country whose citizens donate highest in average to Japan in FukuShima event is highly respected by its surrounding countries.

Many more measures need to be took into concern to form a surest indicator while welfare merely is not representative.

    Why is Jim Huck’s “true father”? I think it’s very simple. If you think about it, Jim is really the one who has taught and guided Huck through most of his struggles. From the day Huck and Jim discover each other on Jackson Island and decide to embark on their journey together, Jim is constantly looking out for Huck and acting fatherly toward him. He uses many phrases throughout the book which reveal his fatherly attitude toward Huck, such as on page 115 when he says "Laws bless you, chile, I 'us right down sho' youse dead again.” His fatherly attitude is the most evident in three main examples in the novel: when he protects Huck, scolds him, and opens Huck's eyes to the horrors of racism. First, Jim protects Huck from seeing his father, dead on the abandoned houseboat. He wants to keep Huck innocent and unaware of the things that occur in the world around him, much like any parent who desires to protect their child. Secondly, and most importantly, in chapter 15 Jim scolds Huck when he discovers that Huck has lied to him. Jim, a runaway slave, scolds Huck and makes him own up to his mistake by saying, "Dat truck dah is trash." then, after about 15 minutes, Huck, a formerly racist white boy, realizes his mistake and apologizes to Jim. Finally, Jim is a father in that he teaches Huck about how to strip away his racism. Through forming a relationship with Huck and sharing with Huck his own family story, Jim teaches Huck that racism is wrong---and Huck eventualy decides to save Jim. Although Huck seems to come up with this idea on his own, it is Jim, his father figure, who plants the seed of anti-racist thought in Huck's head and this is the most fatherly wisdom Jim could ever give southern adolescent in the mid-1800s like…

    “The securing of one individual's good is cause for rejoicing, but to secure the good of a nation or of a city-state is nobler and more divine.” As Aristotle stated, it is generally agreed upon that the happiness of many outweighs the happiness of an individual. However, how far does this statement go? To what extent is it moral for the needs of the few to be ignored in lieu of benefiting the many? ‘The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas’ by Ursula Le Guin explores how people can justify evil actions if it will help many more than it hurts.…

    The hero saunters in, the stubble causing many shadows on his face, his mop of hair, a bunch of ruffled gardens. His forehead bleeds, his shirt baring his chest, knots up just above his waist. From his endless long legs to eyes blazing grey hatred, the camera zooms in on his fingers. In the fingers, dangles a pale white pipe-a cigarette. And he heaves in a long breath, inhales a fat bit of the tobacco and is ready for more punching.…

    The true worth of a nation is, in the final analysis, the true worth of its leaders and the people that they lead. If the leaders are good and committed to the service of the country and the people, and if the people themselves take active part in governance and select good leaders, a nation achieves great social, economic, and political heights. But if the leaders are bad, and if the people themselves are foolish and naive and are easily fooled by the political abracadabras of their incompetent leaders, a nation remains stagnant, and the people themselves suffer.…
