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.

Do scandals call our attention on problems that no speaker or reformer  could? Generally ,speaking I agree with the speaker insofar as the polotical and academia area  ,while I maintein that scandals can abstract people's attention from what they should concern in other cases.

Firstly, especially in political areas ,scandals are a powerful impetus for the society.The most notorious scandal in modern times may be the Watergate scandal.The Nixon who won the competion through unfair ways provokes his people, and then be rejected by his people. This incidence make people to ponder  some problems of their political system,that is whether the authority has concetrate too much power that they are liable to do something beyond the law and harm the whole society. Also, the Clintion's sex scandal brought about a problem to populace , a controversy is therefore be widely discussed whether the leader should have high moral standard regardless his high talent of leadership.It seems these scandals instigate people to reflect about something and thus may strive for a better way out.
Secondly, in the realm of the academic , scandals teach people lessons. Perhaps the most common scandal in academic area is the copying. For example , if a famous professor with good reputation is found that he has based on his achievements on something he copied? Many people would feel startle and then wonder the importance of educating person  not only in academic but also in morality. Whether or not we can copy something from others, and what kind of things can we just emulate a little? If the students cheated in a exam , what judgement should he recieve?  They all attract pulic attention on the relationship between morality and research.
However, the scandals are not beneficial to society, sometimes they just distract our attention and even make some people who have the habit of loving pry other's privacy.
For instance, if a unknown actress want to be famous but she  can't attain this goal through excellent performance, she may just formulate a scandal with the famous director, a few people indeed make use of it to be paid attention to. Also, some junalists who like to pry the celebrity's privacy sometimes foster a number of readers who want to observe other's scandals just because of curiocity.These scandals just attact people's attention without doing some good thing for society, people may could put their concern on heath, education, environment as well before.
In sum, in most cases , the scandals do have some good effect on society, they drive people to think , to improve and then develop. Yet , in other cases which scandals have no significance, they do little good  to society which may even be harmful.
