Can scandals be useful to people? I concede( agree)with the statement that scandals are of value to draw people's attention in ways that no speaker or reformer ever could.
When our attention is directed by speakers or reformers, the focuses are usually what people have most concerned about: education system, political policies, social regulations, and so forth. These topics, as we know, have remained controversial almost from the first day of their existence. But scandals, however, direct our attention in a more subtle way, by providing a sharp contrast between the facts and people's illusions. For example, when the scandal of sex abuses of priests is exposed to the general public, the images relating to the high moral standards of the priests smash into pieces all in a sudden. Similarly, when the coalition authorities was thought to bring Iraq peace and freedom last year, some pictures were publicized at the same time, showing a prison commander taunting naked Iraqi prisoners. In either of the cases, scandals bring people realities that seem furthest from what they take for granted. It is the sensational and dramatic features of scandals that catch people's attention in the quickest time.伊拉克的例子最好不用,好象对老美有些~~反正新东方老师是那么建议的
In addition, scandals alert people to the potential problems in various areas-whether in politics, academia, or business realm. In this light, scandals serve as an impetus for people to improve their performance and regulate private behavior. For fear of scandals, as an illustration, government tend to enhance the extent of superintendence, then it is less likely for governmental corruptions, in forms of bribery, power abuses, or whatsoever, to occur. 逻辑不对吧,应该是丑闻反映了腐败,如果真的因为害怕就不会有腐败存在了,人们也不会仅仅因为害怕才不做When coming to the academia, the originality of knowledge may be better protected when people take notice of cheating and plagiarism. Thanks to the scandals, both the individuals and society as a whole have now benefited form the overall improvement in various areas.这段整个都没有具体说怎么有利了,具体一些会更有说服力吧
Although scandals can be useful to draw people's attention at an alarming speed, some other demerits of scandals also deserve our focus. When one hears about a scandal, it implies that the offensive deeds have already taken place. where is on the one hand?On the other hand, however, a particular sandal might usually be exaggerated by the profit-fuelled media. When the loss of the people being offended cannot be compensated to their initial conditions, and the people who offend are imposed punishment beyond what they deserve, then both of them become the victims of the scandals they involve.
In conclusion, the scandals are effective to direct people's attention in the quickest time, and later alter them to the possible same mistakes or wrong doings. In the final analysis, 这里好象转折了,最好有词体现一下sandals in a sense may do harm to the offenders as well as the victims, and that ask people to be impartial and objective when facing scandals. |
