185"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."
1丑闻总是能最大限度的吸引人的目光从而达到最大的宣传效果
2演说家和改革者却总是吸引不了人的注意,所以达不到宣传效果
3所以两者相比~丑闻的效果更能引起人们注意
正文---------
In the modern history of human, scandal, which is always something negative, ironically enveloped a mysterious and vivid air. There are times when most of us witness all kinds of scandals including sports, sphere of entertainment, and even politics and academia. But the worst joke in this seemingly ordered, but inside chaos society, is that the scandals have been more often put in the limelight than speakers' or any reformers' action and speech.
It is innate and unique feature of scandal that empowers itself the ability to influence society. Scandals, more often than not, are something unfolded by mass media, and endowed with mystery as well as vividness or even exaggerated romance. This controversial air never fail to draw the attention of the public, which arouse the question, why are we indulging in these stories so much? It is ipso facto. The news on the TV, the headlines on the newspapers and the column on the magazines, are invariably in want of seducing people's curiosity and the intrinsic impulse to purchase them, thus, they always employ abnormal and startling titles as well as extraordinary and dramatic stories to gain highlight, which result in the journalists' craving for original but scaring crusades, especially the private things about some prominent public figures. Hadn't the reporters dig out a myriad of fantastic eye-catching story about public people, our memory about them would have already vanished and perished. It is because of these scandals that we snicker the details, we talk about their influence and we reconsider the whole stories and the meaning. As a consequence, when scandals are discovered and revealed, it give live lessens to us, alert other public figure simultaneously. Watergate made Nixon step down. Zip gate let Clinton shame. Enron destructed itself and Anderson and left eternal scar to the investor and public.
Although speakers or reformers emphasize their idea to public, but the drossy words they used always sound rigid and the content they maintained seldom possess any interest. Thus, even if their ideas sometimes are constructive, we usually take them for granted. Due to the unattractive appearance of their speeches or action, they don't have any funny story but morose argument, they always trap us in the forest of cliché devoid of any elf and fairy, even they are sometimes meaningful but we are less concerned about. Therefore, even though the speakers and reformers propagandize boon, we treat them like a bone.
As a result, nothing can match the scandals in terms of alerting our social states quo, influencing our social trend and providing our materials for conversation. Speaker and reformer may also call for public about pedophilia, but the effects can never compare the target of as much anger as curiosity of Michael Jackson's case.
Retrospectively, notorious as the most scandals are, ironically, they spring beneficial atmosphere in society. And maybe, the forming of scandals, in my opinion, is the natural enemy for the bad behavior of involving people in scandal, and the best alerting example for you and me. |
