On regarding the political field, however, we might draw the conclusion that both ideal and pragmatism are indispensible for a successful politician. The ultimate goal of politics is to organize the mass in a most efficient way and to achieve the overall success of the nation. On the road to realize this dream, politicians together with common people, should first take into consideration the immediate problems existed in the society, for without settling these problems, the society will probably collapse into chaos. For example, when Abraham Lincoln began his position as the President of United States, his most important task was to solve the disputes between the North and the South, and to prevent the most democratic nation from perishing. On the other hand, if a society fails to hold an ulterior goal, a final aim, the society will lose its directions, stand still, and be bogged down in the Dead Sea without progress and hope.Certain thrusts may be made in different areas, however, without an ideal, the society as whole is not able to usefully and properly assimilate these advances. The discoveries made become piles of useless discoveries; the potential value behind these discoveries will never come out to be known by the mass. In conclusion, ideal and pragmatism is both needed if the society wants to thrive.
Finally, we come to the scientific and technological field, the most influential field in our thought. Scientists and researchers are appreciated by their contributions to human development. They are not connected with the mean ambitions or immediate successes. Fighting for the truth and genuine, they will sacrifice all the splendors, even their lives. What is more practical than our own lives? Thanks to these martyrs in science history, we boast today s high status in the science. We cannot make even the wildest guess at what our world would be like, were it not for these most idealistic dreams hold by myriad scholars. If Albert Einstein were a bit more practical, he would have become the president of Israel and we would have missed some of the breakthroughs he brought. If Niculous Copernicus a bit more practical, he would forgot his belief in the Earth-Center-Theory and we would still believe in Aristotle s version of the universe. One can learn from all these examples that science cannot make any advancement were it not for the ideals.
