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."

1.        承认scandal更容易吸引大众的注意力,从而更容易影响大众.
2.        不过speaker没有准确的定义useful,以及useful的收益者,对全体公民都有益的scandal才useful,只符合小部分人利益不能说成useful.
3.        伴随着媒体的高度关注,不能排除scandal被严重歪曲的可能性.



Are scandals, no matter which areas they are correlative, and no matter who the profit receivers are, useful in all occasions? The complicated problem remains to be controversial. I have acknowledge what the author asserts-by drawing more attention, scandals work more efficient than speeches or policies, yet the efficiency might not always have been beneficial to the public. The more degrees scandals are exposed, the more possibilities they are abused, consequently, to broadly state that scandals can be useful all the time is so cursory.
Admitted, scandals can attract public close eyes on some related events, so the very scandals have direct and rapid influence on the society or parts or it. Catching strange is one typical innate characteristics of humanity, then it is easy to explicate the reason why scandals are often over concentrated. For the high percentage of attention, what scandals reveal would affect a wider spectrum; accordingly, it is more efficacious than policies or speeches.
However, the author’s inaccuracy of “useful” makes his claim unconvincing: which kind of people is benefited by scandals can be defined as “useful”, the public, demagogues, or someone else? On one hand, if the scandal reveals common defects of present social system, and the evolutions it causes will definitely bring the public profit. For instance, high concentration of cigar companies’ being accused for causing health problems, including lung cancer, can remind all citizens that smoking is harmful to our health, thus, in these occasions, scandals are really useful. On contrary, once scandal is abused by ill-minded individuals, especially demagogues, it falls low to be political weapons against their personal enemies, and tools to pursue benefit for just a small group, not the public. Take Bill Clinton’s affair with Lewinsky for example, it is more used as jetton in the competition of president, which is prone to be of no profit to ordinary citizens, therefore, to this extent, scandals of this kind is really useless.
Furthermore, some scandals, proved to be useful to all people, can’t avoid being distorted by over coverage of medium. As deep investigation going on, an increasing amount of details correlated to the very scandal are exposed, but there is no guarantee that all the details are in accordance with the reality, some new findings of the events are feigned by certain individuals on purpose,every year numerous journalists are fired for making unconvincing even absurd reports, and importantly, these created details are usually more attractive to the medium. In this occasion,the over exposure of the mendacity by medium will possibly mislead the people who do not know the reality. Ultimately, the useful scandals are prone to do harm to the society on contrary.
To sum up, the usefulness scandals should be judged in the angle of the benefit of the public, not according to certain group’s profit. And, crucially enough, policies should be legislated to guide and limit the process of exposing scandals by medium. Proper application of useful scandals will assist in thriving the society.
