Issue108:[ 我是第一个给你批作文得人, 还砖!:) ]
In many countries it is now possible to turn on the television and view government at work. Watching these proceedings can help people understand the issues that affect their lives. The more kinds of government proceedings—trials, debates, meetings, etc—that are televised, the more society will benefit.
Does it do greater benefit than harm to society as well as government when officials are televised? The speaker believes so. However, so far to my concern, this method [,which seems用从句更好吧] to help people understand issues happening around them and keep government's high effectiveness would actually harm the social benefits. And we could get this conclusion from the reasons listed below.
At first glance, we might be inclined to agree with the speaker. After all, watching the work of officials provides us an effective approach to affairs influencing our daily life;[不明白, 是不是想表书 an effective way to have access to how governmental affairs influence our daily life] besides, it would also impose an impetus [supervision?]to those being televised, and therefore make their work more effective and democratic, as expected by ordinary citizens. However, a point that should never be neglected is that people working in government is of much difference with those athletes in the playground, who are dreaming of[be dreamed of固定搭配] audiences to give them energy and power. The cheerfulness and applause can definitely spur the athletes; nevertheless, cameras couldn’t serve the same function as live screams, ovations and shouts, but give officials only tension if not anything else. Meanwhile, being televised and watched all the time (from the beginning of one day to the end of work) would prevent officials enjoying privacy, the most precious fortune of individuals as I believe, which is quit against the purpose of democracy. We could even predict that this method would become a kind of entertainment show to satisfy someone's curiosity of people's privacy, as some TV stations do in the golden time.
[The example is ok but the discussion of the example is inappropriate and not completely expanded. First, athletes and officials are all feel nervous in front of collective eyes. Second, the athletes also feel bored about and at the risk of the revelation of their privacy. After all, a metal laureate in Olympic Games deserve the focus of the masses. In my point of view, you should emphasize on the contrast that the short-time focus on the display of athletes versus the long-time watch-out on the routine working time of the officials, and the latter exposed more personal information]
Furthermore, even officers could perform normally in front of the camera, we could not predict that we could get any useful information from the ‘live show’. For one thing, modern technology has spurred our work into sophisticated ones that only well trained people could be competent. Is it possible for a person without necessary knowledge of economy comprehends the meeting concerning economy and pretends to be skilled as an expert to make indiscreet remarks about economic affairs? For another thing[For another], the expected function that cameras could serve as an effective method to supervise would not be fulfilled as well. Indeed, debates and meetings could be watched, even trials could be sentenced under public eyes; however, deals behind the scene would not merge under the scrutiny of the public, especially in countries with deficient legal systems. The worse thing is: this superficial supervision could provide mirage to the public while truth remains under cover, which will definitely confuse the public and nourish (nurture/ breed) corruption and dereliction.
有思想!
Finally, some works of government, especially those concerning national securities, must not be scrutinized by public. As well received, the more exposed, the less secure our country would be. Even in the most democratic country of the world, government wouldn't be so-called ‘open’ enough to allow people to watch debates and conferences of the top secret: neither KGB nor FBI[CIA?] welcomes this sort of supervision from people, though they belong to two groups with different ideologies. Besides, politics which contains despicable purpose and dirty affairs also forbids us from seeing what is happening behind the beautiful masks, no matter in democracy or autocracy[democratic or autocratic societies其实都可以].
In sum, as the reasons and examples listed above, I believe the government should not and could not been televised, especially with camera equipped anywhere. In fact, society would benefit from social structures with perfect legal system and democracy, rather than live images and sounds recording every behavior of officials. |
