75.In this age of intensive media coverage, it is no longer possible for a society to regard any living man or woman as a hero.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position.
With the development of technology and pervasiveness of media's influence in today's life, it has been more and more difficult for many well-known figures to hide something they would not like others to know. Therefore, many people argue that with more and more flaws being exposed, no living man or woman can be considered as heroes by the society after thoroughly scrutinized by the media. Though it is true for fields like politics, it is not the case when comes to the scientific and business field.
Firstly, it is hard to find a politician that is well-regarded by the overall society as hero giving contradicted nature of the politicians. Often no matter who is considered as a hero by some people, there will always be disparagement from the opposite side. Mostly, politicians are the people who balance the pros and cons when making a formal decision to benefits his or her citizens, but will necessarily to satisfy everyone in the society. In addition, politicians usually hold more authority in the society which leads to more expectation and requirement of citizens on them both in their public and private life. Media nowadays seemed amplify the voices of those who contradicted, when they can pick up every little flaws covered by the media as a point they could call question upon. For example, although president B (没写完这个地方的例子。。。)
However, in fields like scientific field it may not be the case, as the criteria people use to decide whether a particular scientist is a hero or not is rather simple-- simply what the achievement they have made that would benefit the society as a whole. Yuan Long Ping, who was called the father of hybrid of rice, is one of the living hero in scientific field. He improved the quality of hybrid of rice to produce more rice within one plant, which saved hundreds of life of hungry people all over the world. Although media covered many about Yuan's personal life and scientific achievements, the real focus of people are always the achievement he had made.
Similarly, in business world, people are also more open-minded to minimal flaws but focusing on the real achievement the celebrity has been made. In fact, thanks to constant media exposure and information overload, more and more people started to realize the fact that nobody's perfect, and so do the heroes. Steve Jobs, in his living time, was no doubt considered as a hero because of his significant contribution to smart phones and computers we have been using nowadays. However, at that time, there are many media institutions covering his personal life, revealing him as an arrogant person and an irresponsible father, yet most of the people still see him as the true model in the business field.
To conclude, although heroes are hard to exist in field like politics under closely scrutinize of media because the contradicted nature of politics and people's high standards on these people, it is possible for scientific and business fields to have well-known hero as general public often pay more attention to the real achievement that celebrities in these fields have made.
