Nowadays, people would like to respect celebrities belonging to their own society by building monuments and statues. If I had the opportunity to choose to build a statue of a famous person, I would prefer to assign that to Mirza Taghi Khan Farahani, known as Amir Kabir, one of the most respectable and worthy politicians and nobles in Iran. In the following paragraphs, I will elaborate on some reasons that I think it is very important to make this decision.
My first reason and maybe the most important one is that during the history of my country, Iran, there were not many politicians who devoted themselves to the development and progress of the country in terms of industry, culture, health care, education, and so on. Kings and royalties, at their best, preferred to expand their territory and improve military forces as much as possible while they did not care much about issues like sustainable development and providing prosperity for residents. They thought as if they are only responsible for fighting against other rulers in order to obtain much property. However, Amir Kabir who lived about two centuries ago was a sophisticated nobleman who was the son of the master chef of the castle at first, and as a result of his intelligence, perseverance, and merits progressed very soon. After a while, he turned out to be promoted to the position of prime minister. He came up with many wise ideas to reform the country where was not very well developed until then while European countries were competing for a faster transition to modernity. During his short career as the prime minister, he managed to build the first university, found the best modern hospitals, change the culture of the conservative society, and fight against ignorance and superstitions. For example, since they felt vaccination had a prolonged magical influence on them, people resisted being immunized against Cholera, which was the cause of death of a lot of people back then. However, Amir Kabir did not give up and eventually forced people to be vaccinated, and this way many infectious diseases stopped spreading. He also struggled against the oppression and corruption of the courtiers, who finally could not tolerate his actions and killed him after a calculated conspiracy.
My second reason is that, from my point of view, young people need to have an excellent role model to copy their ideas and actions. If we don't introduce a good one, they will be likely to choose someone on their own who is not necessarily the best choice. Because of their lack of life experience, they tend to be attracted to propaganda spread by some actors who may have detrimental influences on their behavior and attitudes. Therefore, I think we should attach importance to introducing great political and historical idols who sacrificed themselves for their country and letting adolescents know their achievements. Young people should be aware of the attempts that have been contributed historically to the progress of their country. Not only does building a statue of such a great nobleman represent a sign of respect and admiration for him, but also it offers others a great opportunity to know him.
Lastly, I think the best way to revive brilliant aspects of our culture and communicating them to other cultures and societies is by remembering our historical idols and learning significant lessons from their accomplishments. By keeping their names and memories alive and, of course, following the path they have laid for us. Erecting a statue of Amir Kabir in a visible place lets visitors be interested in knowing him and his achievements, which in turn leads them to admire him and his impressive actions. The greatness and glory of a nation can be discovered through their heroes and the level of regard they have for them.
To sum up, based on the aforementioned arguments, there are a myriad of reasons that explain why I would prefer to build the statue of Amir Kabir if I could. Some of the reasons, such as respect for his achievements and reforms, introducing a great role model to young people, and communicating brilliant aspects of our culture to other nations, are mentioned above. However, that was like a story in a nutshell. Actually, there are some other reasons which are not mentioned above.
Nowadays,
people
would like to respect celebrities belonging to their
own
society by building monuments and
statues
. If I had the opportunity to choose to build a
statue
of a
famous
person, I would prefer to assign that to
Mirza
Taghi
Khan
Farahani
, known as Amir
Kabir
, one of the most respectable and worthy politicians and nobles in Iran. In the following paragraphs, I will elaborate on
some
reasons
that I
think
it is
very
important
to
make
this decision.
My
first
reason
and maybe the most
important
one is that during the history of my
country
, Iran, there were not
many
politicians
who
devoted themselves to the development and progress of the
country
in terms of industry,
culture
, health care, education, and
so
on. Kings and royalties, at their
best
, preferred to expand their territory and
improve
military forces as much as possible while they did not care much about issues like sustainable development and providing prosperity for residents. They
thought
as if they are
only
responsible for fighting against
other
rulers in order to obtain much property.
However
, Amir
Kabir
who
lived
about two centuries ago was a sophisticated nobleman
who
was the son of the master chef of the castle at
first
, and
as a result
of his intelligence, perseverance, and merits progressed
very
soon
. After a while, he turned out to
be promoted
to the position of prime minister. He came up with
many
wise
ideas
to reform the
country
where was not
very
well developed
until then while European
countries
were competing for a faster transition to modernity. During his short career as the prime minister, he managed to build the
first
university, found the
best
modern hospitals,
change
the
culture
of the conservative society, and fight against ignorance and superstitions.
For example
, since they felt vaccination had a prolonged magical influence on them,
people
resisted
being immunized
against Cholera, which was the cause of death of
a lot of
people
back then.
However
, Amir
Kabir
did not give up and
eventually
forced
people
to
be vaccinated
, and this way
many
infectious diseases
stopped
spreading. He
also
struggled against the oppression and corruption of the courtiers,
who
finally
could not tolerate his actions and killed him after a calculated conspiracy.
My second
reason
is that, from my point of view, young
people
need to have an excellent role model to copy their
ideas
and actions. If we don't introduce a
good
one, they will be likely to choose someone on their
own
who
is not
necessarily
the
best
choice.
Because
of their lack of life experience, they tend to
be attracted
to propaganda spread by
some
actors
who
may have detrimental influences on their behavior and attitudes.
Therefore
, I
think
we should attach importance to introducing
great
political and historical idols
who
sacrificed themselves for their
country
and letting adolescents know their achievements. Young
people
should be aware of the attempts that have
been contributed
historically
to the progress of their
country
. Not
only
does building
a
statue
of such a
great
nobleman represent a
sign
of respect and admiration for him,
but
also
it offers others a
great
opportunity to know him.
Lastly
, I
think
the
best
way to revive brilliant aspects of our
culture
and communicating them to
other
cultures
and societies is by remembering our historical idols and learning significant lessons from their accomplishments. By keeping their names and memories alive and,
of course
, following the path they have laid for us. Erecting a
statue
of Amir
Kabir
in a visible place
lets
visitors
be interested
in knowing him and his achievements, which in turn leads them to admire him and his impressive actions. The greatness and glory of a nation can
be discovered
through their heroes and the level of regard they have for them.
To sum up, based on the aforementioned arguments, there are a
myriad
of
reasons
that
explain
why I would prefer to build the
statue
of Amir
Kabir
if I could.
Some of the
reasons
, such as respect for his achievements and reforms, introducing a
great
role model to young
people
, and communicating brilliant aspects of our
culture
to
other
nations,
are mentioned

However
, that was like a story in a nutshell. Actually, there are
some
