正文:
Since democracy was introduced to the whole world, people have become more and more conscious about the transparency of information. Consequently, some holds the opinion that political leaders should not withhold any information from the public, but before we take it for granted, we have to examine its feasibility and possibility, and it is undeniable that preserving some special or crucial information through political power is profitable.
As it is known to all, authority is the promise of prosperous prospect and permanent propulsion of a country. So first of all, in order to realize this goal, political leaders should keep a decent image in front of the public, which would largely require a modest preservation of some special or personal information. Thus they could gain respect as well as trust from people in order to retain authority concerning public benefits. When stuffs of the White House knew president Roosevelt's lover Lucy, although some of them considered it as a windfall to repudiate his control, most people felt like concealing it in front of mass media, in the light of Roosevelt's ability to overcome the Great Depression. It is true that democracy requires transparent information, but it is unpractical to impeach an excellent leader who might save the country simply because of some personal flaws. In ancient Greece, polis was so well-developed a social organization that everyone had the right to know their political leaders fully and thoroughly. However, just on account of this system, some intelligent leaders could not bring their outstanding ability into full play, because as soon as people found their leaders' flaws, they could deny his authority, which was disadvantageous to their polis, and with a number of superior leaders being overturned, polis became weaker and weaker and finally decayed. It also happened in Soviet Union, after the Purge, many splendid political leaders were killed because of personal flaws, and it was a great pity for USSR losing those intellectuals.
Further more, it is quite necessary to keep some crucial information from the public in order to avoid disturbances or protect national profits. Until now, some information about the Water Gate Case is still under control just considering unnecessary troubles, and no country will open its top military or political secrets through media, for they never want to share those information with others. One may argue that crucial information must be reported to all in case of danger, such as Sars, so as to call all possible forces into action to withstand the uncontrollable fact. Nevertheless, as long as the whole event can be in the control of government, it will be more beneficial to conceal rather than revealing it, as we all know the funny result of the FTAA conference in Canada a few years ago: People supporting Anti-globalization marching on the street said that only because their opinion was reported by government as not right, they had to "show their anger". So we could see a lot people using Japanese camera or wearing French clothes shouting and dancing on the street. In fact, if Canadian government did not reported the opposite opinion publicly to show their justice and correctness, maybe there would have not be such an event.
On the other hand, although in the cases above they can withhold information from people even with public support, there is a rightful limit. Extreme control of information causes troubles as well. It will help a political leader escapes public scrutiny, and dereliction or corruption may occur. Aside from it, if the whole matter is vital and dangerous, such as the Asian flu, it is better to inform rather than obscuring the fact.
If all special or personal information about a political leader are open to all, there will be unnecessary problems; if some crucial information is open to all, there will be unimaginable disturbances or national losses. However, we also cannot be too extreme. Therefore, while we judge whether information should or should not be publicized, we have to consider it in an all-around way, and most of the time, it is valuable for officials to withhold some information from people.
谢谢大家,第一篇啊,真不容易……写了两个小时……才写成这个残疾样……
