The speaker alleges that scandals are so useful on drawing people's attention on issues that eclipse the function of reformers or speakers. I find this allegation to be specious. On[改为‘To’] some degree, scandals expose the dark side of the society which sparks people to take action[加‘s’] to make our community better. On the other hand, too much contention on the booming scandals does distract our attention from the more important problems in our surroundings.
To begin with, I tend to agree with the author that scandals open our ken on those critical things or persons. In the area of politics, a great deal of scandals will serve as an apt illustration. The U.S military's abusing prisoners in Iraq arouses the worldwide attention even fury. If those tortures of Iraqi prisoners’ pictures were not exposed, most of the international people would still treat the U.S military as God down to the earth saving the former autarchic country. Without the prosecutors’ effort, people have reason[加‘s’] to believe that more prisoners will be mistreated and the lie of human right and democracy claiming[改为‘claimed’] by Bush administration blatantly all the time will never be debunked.
When it comes to the academia fields, the scandals function seems even more important, since the outcomes of science are closely related with human future and any fake in science cannot be tolerant [改为’tolerated’]. Hwang Woo Suk, the Korean stem cell scientist's cheating deed in his research has erased his glorious reputation away thoroughly. Hwang claimed his research group had extracted stem cells from cloned human embryos, a technology that with held out hope for millions of patients worldwide with currently incurable diseases. Nevertheless, he was found making fake data in his two papers published on Science. Thanks to the scandals that no one else will continue to use Hwang's data to do stem cell research and the atmosphere of science regains its freshness. Hwang's case also alarms all the researchers and scientists to be honest on their work and we see a soaring scrutiny of science papers are proceeding around the world [这句话结构不清楚].
Even though scandals play important roles in politics and academia or other areas which I does[去掉‘es’] not give examples above but exist, over stating the critical function of scandals is to be disproved. As scandals are inclined to call people’s too much attention on a single famous figure or one unusual but not important thing, while leave [改为’leaving’]the real critic ones be over shadowed. For example, when the Clinton sex scandal came out, all the A-list newspapers put Clintons and Lewinsky's personal lives on the headlines, and people are happily reading those stories with litter consideration of the more important things left on the second or the third page news such as the federal finance, health, education, relationship with other countries and so forth. Nowadays, more and more sport stars or movie stars’s[应改为stars’] scandals are reported, some of which related to policy. But in fact, even after these[改为‘the’,因为news为不可数] bad news are [改为’is’]exposed, we seldom see any governmental reform takes place, or the number of the same kind of scandals is reduced. In such cases, scandals do not give any help to improve our society but distract our attention from the really important issues.
To sum up, I agree with the arguer in[改为‘to’] some degree that scandals have their priority than speakers or reformers to call people's attention on the problems which affect the society seriously, but in other small cases, too much attention on the scandals will be detriment to coping with social basic matters.
