To begin with, I agree with the claim insofar as scandals sometimes are quite useful to disclose social defects and personal misdeeds for two reasons. One such reason is that scandals could be the most powerful means of attaining the above objectives. In fact, rare speaker or reformer could be as influential as scandals in the exposure of social problems and people's flaws. This is understandable when people show their curiosities and interests in going after such incidents, and when the mass media which serves as one of the major strengths in disclosing the scandals would definitely cater to people's such appetites through continual efforts. Moreover, what has added to the powerful function of scandals is that the subjects involving these incidents are usually celebrities, leaders, and leading corporations or other institutions, all of which are prone to dispense with flaws or misdeeds in the public's eyes. Thus, once under exposure, the effects are quite enormous as a result of the powerful function of scandals. A second reason why scandals are utilitarian is that no speaker or reformer is, and could be, so bold and objective to disclose the tarnishing events as scandals are. No matter the subject are presidents, CEOs of famous corporations, or stars, scandals could take the difficult task of exposing the taints. Moreover, scandals seem to be more interested in such magnates or powerful institutions. It is no surprising that President Nixon and President Clinton had become the subjects in scandals, and that Enron Corporation, one of the ten largest energy companies in America, found its way to bankruptcy in the light of scandals. In short, the scandals are more competent than any speaker or reformer to disclose social defects and people's flaws. However, despite the utility of scandals in exposure of taints, the pernicious consequences that scandals hold are just as prodigious, even outweighing their positive effects. Not only do scandals bring about unfortunate results to the people involving in the scandals, but they have a negative effect on the whole society. Consider, for example, the Watergate scandals cause not only the convictions of forty government officials but also the resignation of a president--Nixon. What's more, the scandals gave rise to the populace's distrusts about the campaign funds and the effectiveness of the executive branch of the nation, as well as a more aggressive attitude of the mass media. Another example involves the Enron Gate, in which taking advantage of political power to chase economic profits without factual operation of firms could also make vast amount of money. Moreover, the bankruptcy left nothing but countless victims whose retirement pensions were just gone silently and immediately. Thus, compared with the grave consequences, the usefulness seems to pale in importance. In sum, although scandals could be useful to disclose some social problems, the negative consequences are just as dramatic. Thus, the society should take great actions to inhibit similar problems that scandals have already disclosed. After all, letting the scandals help us to discover the various problems should be the last choice of the society.
