185"Scandals—whether in politics, academia, or other areas—can be useful. They focus our attention on problems in ways that no speaker or reformer ever could."

Whether scandals are useful in most fields? The speaker claims that scandals help reveal the hidden social problems which cannot be reflected by speakers or reformers. I concede that such uncovered issues really have effect on the problems of any field and help to improve internal defects, however, under some circumstances, for-profit scandals might distort the truth or remove public concentration from social problems.

At the politics and academic level, revealing scandals draws people to pay more attention to certain social troubles and motivates governments and scientists to improve their performance and responsibility. For example, In America, Watergate caused severe attention to power of leadership and such scandal provoked Congress to pass several pieces of legislation designed to curb executive power in the future. Without such case, the government might fail to realize the phenomena of abusing power at that time, let alone established appropriate laws. In addition, recently, academic scandals also cause the social attention, not only for the situations of plagiarism and fabrication, but also other problems- individualism and defect of human nature. Considering the hidden problems of academic filed, researchers and scholars are required to adjust their attitudes to the science and the value of life. On the contrary, any speaker and reformer have their own interests so that the authority might also fail to mention the essential problems and even protect special interest by hiding potential danger. Therefore, under those serious circumstances, scandals help the society understand the potential harm and improve the social environment.

At the business level, according to the news and data, scandal would be one of most important problems in companies for its terrible threat to the enterprise survival. For example, the collapse of famous company-Enron knocked the siren of financial system in every company. Because of declined profit and financial trouble, this big company cheated the society with fake items of accounts not only cause problems to Enron but also have terrible effect on the society. After that, most companies reform the regulation of accounting and establish limitation of individual power. Obviously, those problems cannot reflected by speaker or reformers, in contrast, a society need necessary scandals to compensate unperfected system and prevent repeating mistakes.

However, with the development of mass media, television, newspapers and Internet considered scandals as an effective way to gain profit because they fine easily to catch the human nature of curiosity by the appealing information and special persons’ daily life. After all, common people desire to understand the famous persons or other social fields, no matter job situation or private life. To better satisfy those demand and increase the profit, mass media tries their best to unearth private news or even fabricate scandals. As a result, the public is attracted by trivial information and even be lead to a distorted environment, consequently, social problems and real scandals might be overlooked for the confusion o overload information. Therefore, to better confront with various new, a person should learn to active acceptance valuable information and use them to solve social problem.

Understandably, in most cases, scandals cause the alarm on hidden social problems and help the society to supervise the operation of various systems. By establishing new regulation and laws, the whole performance and behavior in any field will be improved and ensured. Meanwhile, people should understand the credibility of scandals and severity of social problem rather than passive acceptance.
