写了半天才写了这么点，哭啊～

185. "Scandals--whether in politics, academia, or other areas--can be useful. They focus our attention on problems in ways that no speaker or reformer ever could."

I concede that by calling our attention on observing problems in advisable and insightful ways, which the speaker or reformer cannot manage successfully, scandals uncovered by media could be very useful. However, in my view the potential harm scandals inflict on the society sometimes far more outweigh the influence's benefits.

Obviously, scandals serve to call people's attention on exposing problems in an insightful way, such as politician's abuse of power, the plagiarism of professor in his researching report, and so forth. Consider less egregious example, such as the President Nixon's withholding information about his active role in the Watergate cover-up. His behavior demonstrated a concern for self-interest above the broader interests of democratic society that granted his political authority in the first place. The scandal involving misuse of power by public officials disappointed the society, Nixon step down after it was exposed. Also, if a professor takes some else's achievements as his own fruits, and paraphrase in his academic thesis without citing the resources, once the scandal was open to the public, he would be punished. Thus, it is an effective approach for the people to perceive and oversee the actions of politician, researchers and so forth.

While by calling people's attention on issues be revealed by scandals, which also can pose harm influence on the ideology of a democratic society. One need look no further than the sexual scandal of President Clinton and Monica Lewinsky which is not only a shame of them, but also in defiance of societal moral standards based on love, honor, honest and duty. Clinton's reckless and immoral behavior and its public dissemination had reinforced the publication of sexual actions over the internet, radio, and television, and would inextricably aggravate the wrongdoings of the adolescence. In academic realm, we cannot exclude the possibility that if the mentor of graduates cheats the public and his peers, the students of the professor may imitate their mentor's moral descendent behavior, which the whole academic fields may suffer from. Therefore, sometimes the spread of scandals deteriorate people's wrongdoings, which would cause all moral declining, on other cases, like the Watergate cover-up, which not only violates the public's trust but also lead to adverse impact on politics, that is some politicians may find it is an easy way to get what they desire in their political career, and they try to do this because they think they would not be caught.

In conclusion, there is always two sides of a coin, while we cheer up the benefits scandals bring to us, we cannot overlook the potential harm scandals exert on the democratic society. People should pay attention to the problems uncovered by scandals, which reveal the ugliness of the specific fields in a society, meanwhile the awareness of the public to take the scandals as converse school book not placing them in a imitable position should be enhances.
越写越没信心了，很多简单的字都不会拼，郁闷啊！～

Scandals uncovered by media  could be very useful, since it calls our attention on observing problems in advisable and insightful ways, in which the speaker or reformer cannot manage . However, in my view the potential harm scandals inflicted on the society sometimes far more outweigh the influence's benefits.

Obviously, scandals serve to appeal people's attention on exposing problems in an insightful way, such as politician's abuse of power, the plagiarism of professor in his researching report, and so forth. Such as the President Nixon's withholding information about his active role in the Watergate cover-up. His behavior demonstrated a concern for self-interest above the broader interests of democratic society that granted his political authority in the first place. The scandal involving misuse of power by public officials disappointed the society, Nixon step down after it was exposed. Another example is that, if a professor takes some else's achievements as his own fruits, and paraphrases in his academic thesis without citing the resources, once the scandal was open to the public, he would be notorious and get the punishment which he had already deserved. Thus, it is an effective approach for the people to perceive and oversee the actions of politician, researchers and so forth.

While  drawing people's attention on important issues，scandals  can also pose harm influence on the ideology of a democratic society. One need look no further than the sexual scandal of President Clinton and Monica Lewinsky which is not only a shame of them, but also in defiance of societal moral standards based on love, honor, honest and duty. Clinton's reckless and immoral behavior and its public dissemination had reinforced the publication of sexual actions over the internet, radio, and television, and would inextricably aggravate the wrongdoings of the adolescence. In academic realm, we cannot exclude the possibility that if the mentor of graduates [通常美国人说导师是supervisor] cheats the public and his peers, the students of the professor may imitate their mentor's moral descendent behavior, which the whole academic fields may suffer from. Therefore, sometimes the spread of scandals deteriorate people's wrongdoings, which would cause all moral declining, on other cases, like the Watergate cover-up case, which not only violates the public's trust but also lead to adverse impact on politics, that is some politicians may find it is an easy way to get what they desire in their political career, and they try to do this because they think they would not be caught.

In conclusion, there is always two sides of a coin, while we cheer up the benefits scandals bring to us, we cannot overlook the potential harm scandals exert on the democratic society. People should pay attention to the problems uncovered by scandals, which reveal the ugliness of the specific fields in a society, meanwhile the awareness of the public to take the scandals as wicked model not placing them in a imitable position should be enhanced.
