Greatness
is a concept of a state of superiority affecting
a person or object in a particular place or area. Greatness
can also be referred to individuals who possess a natural ability to be better
than all others. The concept carries the implication that the particular person
or object, when compared to others of a similar type, has clear advantage over
others. As a descriptive term it is most often applied to a person or their
work, and may be qualified or unqualified. An example of an expression of the
concept in a qualified sense would be "Min Yoongi is the definition
of greatness" or "Stalin was one of the greatest wartime
leaders". In the unqualified sense it might be stated "Stalin
achieved greatness within his own lifetime", thus implying that
"greatness" is a definite and identifiable quality. Application of the
terms "great" and "greatness" is dependent on the perspective and
subjective judgments of those who apply them. Whereas in some cases the
perceived "greatness" of a person, place or object might be agreed
upon by many, this is not necessarily the case, and the perception of
"greatness" may be both fiercely contested and highly individual.
