There is inevitable conflict between majority rule and minority rule. Conflict is an ever-present part of human life, and one of ruling parties, in general. The side of the majority rule wants one thing and the side of the minority rule wants another. One person wants one thing and another person wants another thing. Both parties can not rule at once, so a struggle of some sort must ensue.
However, in Albert Einstein’s case, it was totally different. It was definitely not a case of minority rule against majority rule; it was him against society, who had labeled him a ‘failure’.
He was unable to speak until the age of three. As a young man, some teachers were even convinced that he was actually disabled because he was unable to become fluent in German until he was 9 years old. It is believed that a teacher once told him that he would “never amount to anything in life”.
Unlike many kids, who would give the answer that first comes to their mind, Einstein would tackle every aspect of the question and give an opinionated answer, but that, gave him the label as someone who is mentally slow and unsociable. Growing up, he was always looked down by all his classmates, and was never given the chance to prove himself. Society didn’t accept him, and it was a case of majority labeling him as ‘the retarded boy who would never come to any good.’
Albert Einstein was dismissed by his teachers as being “slow and lazy”; however that was not the case and the world was there to witness that.
“I am not a genius, I am just passionately curious,” that was what Einstein said. He was extremely passionate about physics and math since young. He never wanted money or fame but only to make life better for others and to pursue his love of science and math and to always learn more about the world. He was never satisfied with the results and always wanted to learn more or go further with this findings.
Although he did not talk until the age of three, he displayed a strong sense of curiosity, and the ability to understand difficult mathematical concepts. Einstein’s thinking was so unorthodox such that he was able to theorize many ideas that advanced physics in a revolutionary way. Einstein made many contributions to society and many of his theories were based on relativity, which affected the world today. His name is associated with genius and is know is almost every household even though his inventions and discoveries are not always fully understood. The man who was once initially suspected of being mentally retarded is now considered to be a genius in today’s society. Without him, the world we know today would not be the same and such simple things such as television and the personal computer would not be here.
He went on to make many more fascinating discoveries and became the world’s number one scientist and Nobel Prize winner in physics, proving the world wrong in the process. He changed the lives of many and completely revolutionized the world. He was no longer ‘the retarded boy who would never come to any good.’ He was the man who changed the world.
Majority is always right? Not quite.
