Can scandals, especially in politics, academiaand some other areas, be useful, as the speaker maintain? In my view, thespeaker unfairly generalizes. In some situations, scandals can show the publictrue fact. However, in other conditions, practically in politics, scandalsmight become a tool to win the election, and mislead the public to make a wrongdecision.

Scandals always attract the publicattention on the people who had the scandal or only the scandal itself. Thepublic neglect the problems, hidden in the scandals, and solutions of them. Andwhen the scandals pass away, the problems are still existing and harming ourlife and work. For example, three years ago, the collapsing of the famousbuilding, called international trade mansion, became the headline in nearly allthe newspaper in China.And along with the deep investigation, the research group draw the conclusionthat the money, used in building, had been defalcated by some relatedgovernment officials and contractors is the main reason caused the qualityproblems of building and the collapsing in the end. However, in practically thecollapsing of building, instead of the corrupt problem, attract more attentionof the public. At present, the corrupt problems still exist, but there is notanother mansion to collapse. Scandals might not exert their effect to help thepublic to find the problems, and therefore they are not useful for solving theproblems.

In some time, the scandals would misleadthe public, and make the public do the mistakes. In practically, evaluating aperson should be from different aspects, however, the scandals alwaysexaggerate one or two aspects and mislead the public to neglect other aspectswhich are also important. For instance, Clinton, the ex-president in USA, become more famous just because of thesex-scandal in the whole world included in China. And after the scandalhappened, more and more people consider that he is not a excellent presidenteven is not a great man. These persons, however, might not pay attention to hiscontributions, cannot be ignored, in promoting economical development in USA. Takinginto account all his contributions and mistakes, Clinton actually is a qualified leader. Ifthe scandals mislead the public to make the decision or feel, they can not onlybe useless, but also be harmful for the public and the world.

However, the scandals still have someuseful to help the public find some true facts which are neglected or hidden insome times indeed. And the public can consider some issues from these aspects. Thoughthe scandals, we find there is not a perfect person in the world. And we findthe person, who is considered as god in the past, is just a simple man in theend. For example, Michael Jordan, considered as god of the basketball, has asex-scandal, and from the scandal a lot people, included many basketball fans, knowthat he is not only an unbelievable player but also a simple man like us.

To sum up, the speaker overlooks some serious harm caused by scandals, especially in evaluating some persons or findingthe essences of the things. Even though the scandals can focus our attention onproblems, we should have to learn to analysis the scandals and not be misled orbeclouded.
