Thanks to the technological modernization of communication, more and more scandals seem to be overflowing the media-either newspapers or televisions and radios, straining the trust of the public. On this issue, the speaker asserts that scandals, focusing the attention of the public, can be useful, fundamentally but not totally do I agree with the assertion.
On the one hand, obviously, scandals-whichever fields they are in-draw people’s attention to particular issues effectively and helpfully. A scandal is usually a disclosure of a disgraceful thing causing public outrage or censure of an organization or a person, mostly one possessing authority and consuming much of the public’s attention. It is always the scandalous cases that focus people’s attention on a certain thing which used to be overlooked or neglected unintentionally in the past. The case of Woo Suk Hwang, a famous South Korean cloning researcher, validates this point of view. If it is not for the very case of Hwang, the phenomenon of scientific fraud is not likely to gain such public fixation albeit it does not hide itself from either the scientists or the public in spite of the appeal of some scientific workers. In cases like this, scandals do function in a more effective and useful way in focusing the attention of the public that no speaker or reformer could match.
What is more, scandals are also likely to alert people of the excessive trust they are consigning to certain kinds of persons, urging them to be more cautious. It is common that sometimes people excessively trust some authorities in an indiscreet way, yet due to such scandals the situation is improving. The Enron scandal serves as a perfect example, compromising the long-established reputation of the Wall Street stock analysts and leading successfully the investors to wander whether they should trust corporations, auditors, or stock analysts.
On the other hand, scandals can be of destructive effects, while being useful on some other occasions. Certain scandals of some figures might ruin them by leading people to focus mainly on the wrong deeds they perpetrate, with the great contributions to the society they make or the prominent performance they have rendered put aside. Ben Johnson, the Canadian track athlete makes the responding case. The athlete, who might be the potential world-record breaker, was ruined by his use of steroids, a performance-enhancing drug, which caused the withdrawal of financial support for him and ended his career as a runner.
In sum, scandals-whether in politics, academia, or other areas-can be useful in that they could focus people’s attention on things deserve it but not given yet in a more effective way and with more efficiency than the speakers or reformers could do. However, scandals, like coins, could also cause ineluctable losses as they solve the problems, exerting themselves in a harmful way.
不知道你说的高级词汇是哪些,说说看,我看看我又没有查字典,不记得了,呵呵。
不过teem这个词我是用错了,检查语法的时候发现的。
你能不能把比较绕的句子指出来,我看看我会不回改,有的句子真的得用长句表达,我还不一定会用短句子,可能我的水平还不到家,呵呵 |
