Scandals are useful because they focus our attention on problems in ways that no speaker or reformer ever could.
In the British teleplay <Black Mirror I>, the director tells an absurd story about a scandal, that the Premier is required to, by the kidnapper of the princess, have sex with a pig on the TV in front of the nation. And people, no matter with commiseration, abhorrence or indifference, wait in front of the TV and watch the whole process. This story, though fictional, reveals that people do love scandals. On(粗心了) one hand, scandals mostly mean facts. On the other hand, psychology study has shown that people love to pry others’ secret. As far as I concerned, scandal do has its value, but should be (从丑闻方面来讲感觉和treat差不多)treated and handled in a rational and justified way.
Admittedly, scandal can be usedas a mean to publicize. . (用one 和你后面的another 相对应) One evidentbenefit of scandals is that it can easily draw the public’s attention. Compared to speeches, like campaign speech(因为你后面提到了political,所以这里提一下比较好) , which are usually(如果不加程度副词就是全盘否定了,但不一定全部都是不真实的) unauthentic for the public because of its characteristic of being easily adorned as a political advertisement, scandals are mostly ugly truth revealed in a shocking way. For instance, people may show apathy when listen to a lecture about bribery given by an office speaker, regarding it as a performance. But when the Iraq bribery scandal erupted in 2007, people reacted with extreme anger and virulent criticism (怪罪,归咎,放在这不太合适) and began to check the political system in a wary way. And this event also shows another advantage of scandals: the attention it brought to the scandals force the society to contemplate on the problem and call for a solution(这是普遍性的好处). Like in this case,这里是前面的例子好处 they can disclose the holes in the existent system, by then can people fix it. Like When the glutin in food is detected, the food industry set out 不仅仅是一个检验 a new rule to inspect on (这是证实真实性)the whole food production process and people are now paying more attention to food safety .
However, there is no doubt that paying too much attention on scandals could cause problems. For the individuals involved in scandals, the mistakes that (和后面一致)they made onceand that(这里做主语) are perhaps exaggerated by the mass medias, might destroy their whole life. Such as the sex photo scandal among Chinese actors several years ago, people berated all the people in the event, humiliated and boycott(抛弃不太合适吧)them, but they did not realize the severity of hurt they pose to those people. And for the public , too much scandals and attention on (这里最好说明是什么或者谁)the dark side might arouse negative emotions in the whole society. People might regard the society as a dirty, unmoral and ugly(最好用同样的行驶) one, and lead to prevalence of extreme emotion/ emotional extremes in the society in the end.
Thus, it is significant to treat (不是特指)scandals with ration. The first thing people should do is to judge a person without bias. Watergate scandal made Nexon a shamed president in the United State history, but we cannot ignore his contribute to the relationship between the USA and China. There is no perfect person in the world. And if you admit this, you must also admit that people cannot be judged by a single scandal. What’s more, it is the way that we treat the scandal rather than the scandal itself that is useful for our refining the society. Bribery scandals show us the holes in the political system, so we should check the operation of the government, fix the problems and perfect the supervising mechanism. Sex scandals debunk the loss of social moral, whereupon we should enhance our moral education. Only by resolving questions reflected in scandals could we make them meaningful.
To sum up, (scandal’s mood什么意思?) is rather irony than entertainment, and (这不是大多数丑闻的目的吧) it inspire the whole society to conduct an introspection on ourselves instead of impeaching several individuals. (Under the simply seemed “facts”这句话似乎是在似乎简单的事实下直译的?)Under the seemingly simple “fact”, the deeper meaning of scandal is to show us the flaws of political and moral system道德体制??. It is the way in which people treat it decide whether a scandal is useful or not
