Nowadays, we are overwhelmed by a variety of daily generated scandals presented by the flourishing media. As a special kind of social phenomena, scandals, which reflect certain social problems with a high focus of public attention, have both positive and negative influence on our society.

At the very beginning, scandals are of significant importance to reveal some events concerning public interests. As the social supervision sometimes neglects or do not able to detect some harmful incidence through a normal way, scandals promptly attract public to such issues might affect people thoroughly. A good case to illustrate is Canadian blood bank scandal astonishing the world in 2002. During the years in 1980s and earlier 1990s, Canadian blood bank supplied contaminated blood to large amount of patients, and eventually led nearly 1000 persons' infection of HIV, the virus of the terrible deadly AIDS. Though the death data are still in increase, those incubated AIDS patients can take some measures to deal with the lethal illness; also, it serves as a reverse lesson for hospitals and doctors nowadays. As a consequence, for the common good of the society, scandals can be useful to discover some serious problems.

What is more, scandals play a vital role in regulating the behaviors of celebrities. Browsing the pages containing word 'scandals' on the internet, we can find that most of scandals are related to those public persons, such as politicians, actors, pop stars, or famous scientists, who are always people's focusing targets. As they might be the decision- makers of a nation, or role models for young people etc., such group of people influence our society much more deeply than ordinary people. For instance, in last winter, South Korean scientist Dr. Hwang's massive and historic fraud scandal shocked every corner of the science field. His two papers about stem cells, which can be regarded as the most prosperous topic in biology and medical field, were published recommended by Science, one of the world most respected journals, and perceived as a milestone in the research and application of human stem cells. Nonetheless, finally, some young scientists in Hwang's group pointed the stunning accomplishment was an entirely deceit, and further investigations confirmed the famous scientist's dishonesty. This scandal is a strong alert signal for those dishonest researchers who are doing such fraud. Through this way, celebrities are expected to commit fewer fabrications.

Meanwhile, some media abuse their authority to knead scandals in order to cater the public curiosity of famous people and other alluring news, and result in undesirable consequence. As common sense illustrates, even Clinton's dog or Laura Bush's evening gowns can also attract public focus, to detect some explosive news about celebrities even develops as their major job for some media. Thus, based on some trivia or even nothing, media irresponsibly produce large amount of so-called scandals which negatively affect the normal lives of those celebrities, for the leaders of countries, even affect the healthy functioning of the whole nations. Princess Diana, an expressive victim of such evil behavior, died in a car accident in Paris when struggling to escape form the track of some abhorrent journalists. As a matter of fact, in this way, the initial usefulness of scandals to expose and unmask some social problems does harms to celebrities and even worse causes the instability of society.

Take it further, what should be pay much attention is that the exposure of some problems in the form of scandals itself reveals the deficits in our supervision process of certain fields. Often, scandals were discovered in some occasional ways rather than in the normal system of supervision. For instance, the scrutiny by the editors of Science Press and some other top authorities failed to discover the cheat made by Hwang, and the event was raised up until the young scientist stand out and unmasked the problem. Therefore, how to develop an effective and powerful system engaged in solving such problems might be a more crucial issue than to supervise by such accidental scandals.

To sum up, to some extent, scandals serve as a two-edged sword, in other words, help us to reveal some serious problems relevant to social interests and also serve a effective approach to regulate celebrities' behaviors, but place undesirable affects on the normal lives of celebrities. Furthermore, only relying on scandals to reveal social problems would be dangerous, on the other hand, preventing, discovering and resolving problems through a powerful social system are what we should endeavor in.
