I totally agree it is occasionally necessary, even desirable(acceptable?), for political leaders to withhold information from the public temporarily; but if political leaders often keep the information secret, then many problems may be induced.
(on one hand)In some special case, it is advisable to withhold the information which may cause disorder and panic, and sometimes even danger of the country(even danger of the country sometimes) . In the period of war, it is necessary to keep some information about the situation secret, for doing so can avoid not only the disorder and anxiety of the people but also the espionage of the opponent(good! Reasonable) .(for example ,)The healthy of the leaders play an important role in the national activities; when the leader suffers some emergent acute diseases it is wise to keep the information secret and not to announce the information until some measures have been taken(“it is wise to keep the information that the leader suffers some emergent acute diseases out of the eye of the public” may be batter,). All those actions, obviously, do no harm to people and nation(not exact,so serious ); on the contrary, it benefits to the stability of the country.
(on the other hand)If the political leader often keeps the information(certain information) secret, however, then many problems may be induced. Why does he do that; what does he do when the information was withhold; many questions will emerge among the public. (it will do harm to the society)If he is irresponsible for his duties and if he has made some wrong decisions; does he use the information to do something benefit to himself or to the clique he belongs to? For example, this will happen when he knows the prices of steel will go up recently, so he or his group is likely to store a mount of steel for substantive unlawful profit. So it is possible that keeping the information secret benefit minority greatly, but definitely endanger the ordinary people’s benefit.( the argument is not strong, need go on further)
In a democratic society, generally speaking, the public should have to(the) right to access to all the information concerning about their interests. The right of know(knowing)(may be the process or the reaction?) can effectively superintend the behavior of the government. People pay taxes to the country, so they have the right to know how and where the government spends the revenue. If they can not access to information of the taxes, then the political leaders may make some decisions not considering much of their responsibility which may lead to many social problems such as corruption, dereliction of duty, nepotism……
Although many people used to ignore the right of know, more and more people are beginning to realize it. It is important for the public to strike for the right and they are doing something to strength and improve the right gradually. A few years ago you never heard the individual sue the government, yet now through media you can heard someone do that for the right to know and ask for the compensation for the government’s misplay.
You use the phrase “keep secret” too many times, these like “ keep the public blind” ;”hide”; ”conceal” and so on can be put into thought. The argument is not strong, need go on further, The end should talk two side(may be batter? Be concert with the beginning) |
