Has creating anappealing image become more important than the reality or truth behind thatimage? The speaker claims so, and I concede that we can opportunely take anappealing image into consideration. Otherwise, in my view undue emphasis onattractive appearance can inevitably bring about our improper judgment andevaluation.
Admittedly, undermany circumstances plain or ragged appearance will be counterproductive tocontradiction in our hustle and bustle society. The ever-accelerated updatingof science and technology make us confront with numerous messages; therefore,we have no time and energy to scrutinize the reality or truth behind the image.As people say “Initial impressions are critical”, the pretty image can make thebasis of our further contact and realizing. From the burgeoning development ofsocial websites such as Facebook, we can learn that we need an increasinglyexternal means to expand our social scope. And at the same time, we pay moreattention to the first impression or apparent behavior by which we make our judgmentabout the person.
Hideous orordinary appearance can also inhibit people’s chase of beauty that is from ourinstinct. We humane already had the aesthetic need which can rich our spiritsand emotions. There is no denying that the fashion shows in Paris or London areso popular and they are considered as the mainstream in our current culture. Itdefinitely means that we think the appealing image of clothe are more importantthan the real utility in our life, as the garment fashion emphasizes the externalcharm.
Aside from theforegoing two provisos, however, I fundamentally disagree with the speaker’sclaim. The reality and truth behind that image should be paid more attention inthe society that we pursue the efficiency and utility. As the proverb says “Youcould never judge a book by its cover”, we shouldn’t realize people or buycommodities by their appealing images. The reality that is covered by theappearance is the actual thing we attain eventually. When we choose a partneras our lifelong mate, we really maintain that our common interests and valuesare more important than your partner’s beauty. It is common that overridingattention on image will make us neglect the reality and always make thingsworse. Arnold Schwarzenegger, praised as Arnold Strong, was elected as thegovernor of California in 2003. His renown is from the excellent performance inmany act movies, rather than his political principles and effective work. Theproblems in California’s policy and economy tell us his are not good atpolitical work and the citizens made a wrong choice mostly by the appealingimage.
In sum, we shouldpay more attention to the reality or the truth behind the image, but theattractive appearance is increasingly important in the hustle and bustlesociety.

谢谢点评，Facebook的例子却是不是很好。嗯，施瓦辛格呢，主要是因为演艺的名气选上的州长，这个例子是美国人自己讲的（一本书上看的）。谢谢了
