The claim emphasizes the leading role of heroes corresponding to a certain society in studying the character of it. Admittedly, their characters can illustrate part of the values of the society, social study, in my point of view, should rest its weight on mass people and other idiosyncrasies of the society.
According to the claim, we can concede that there must be some reasons requiring our notice to account for the selection of role models and heroes by the society. Since they are acclaimed by the society, they must carry on some qualities that are regarded lofty, highly respected or of great significance of the society. On that sense, it can be inferred that the values of the society are in favor of these qualities, that is why the examination of its role models can reveal part of the characters of a society.
However, the characters of these models are after all personal, far from being epitomized for a society. The society consists of a diversity of classes while each of them bears their own specific qualities and needs. Suppose, how are several role models representative of all those classes? In some cases, they are praised for precious qualities that are short of in that society; in other cases, those qualities will achieve rewards from a large range of societies. Having born those possibilities in mind, we will find that the study towards them become ambiguous and granted.
To deal with the issue, it is suggested that scholars transfer their attention from these representatives to common people. All in all, it is mass people who create the history. I am sure that you have heard of Watt, who invented steam engine, but do you know the names of the first people who discovered the cultivation of grains? You may argue that they are not reported by documentaries. Nevertheless, it is the agriculture that ends up the era of people's nomadic lives and it is extremely hard for those people to find their way to create rise corn and wheat for survive. To some extent, we owe our life today to them, whom share a single name-"people". Hence, history study can't ignore them in any society.
From what has been discussed above, we can see that common people play an indisputable role in society, which is irreplaceable by heroes and role models.
