GRE Test: Issue 185 Are scandals useful? #1 (permalink) Fri Aug 06, 2010 4:34 am   GRE Test: Issue 185 Are scandals useful?
 

Issue 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.”
Do scandals useful in calling our attention to some disgrace problem? I support a claim, in some degree, scandal in the sections of political or federal, if it reveals a true are undermining mass population’s benefit. Instead, sometimes, to much scandal serve as enhance confusion of society’s attention and thinking, and waste life-time.

First of all, scandal serve to focus our attention on a disgrace problem that our citizens and society have no idea about it at the first. A problem about political, government or the Congress, that any problems will undermine peoples’ beneficial norms. Or once a president care about private benefits problem more than mass population’s. A remarkable modern example was Watergate scandal, moment like this, scandal really serve to enhance the public’s attention to focus and supervise our politicians reputation or huge disgrace manner that ever have done. Scandal work at to mentions people a ideal that public figures are also ordinary person as us, and people are fallible, keep the balance of celebrity effect when the reverence goes too far or excessive. Indeed, problem like this, no speaker or reformer can focus mass population’s attention like scandal doing perfect. Since scandal is revealing about a truth, this also a charm character of truth, the power of truth.

At another respect, in this era of rapid social and technological change, always can find out the news headlines talking about a professor or doctor candidate who having academic fraud, who actual used plagiarized date in thesis or theory, even expert who live reputation with a bogus diploma. But I would like to dwell about is scandal like this worked, different people hold different ideas. The problem is about how people define the word-useful. Some people hold their pragmatism, and support their icon as usual. Scandals like this, I am not ignore it use or not, I just keep it as the bottom line in my heart. Scandal just always mentions people the public figures will doing stupid thing as most people sometimes. This is why I said that scandal serve as enhance confusion of social attention and thinking. Most of the time scandal are live vividly around entertainment celebrity. Linsay Lohan get in jail, triangle relationship about Julie-Pitt and Aniston, all of this just sort of gossip, scandal like this just waste people’s time, but it did contribute to medium system.

In conclusion, I will bolster scandals often serve to keep the balance of our society more effectively than speaker or reformer ever can. Nevertheless, people still need case-by-case analysis before to judge a scandal is useful or not.

Not good at all Poise. You really need to increase your reading. Your sentence content and structure are both very weak, but can be quickly improved wre you to spend your spare time reading English publications, especially newspapers.

The author mentions that scandals are those lightening events that speak about the weather more prominently than rain or clouds can. Indeed, reformers and speakers have a diplomatic tone of conveying when they attempt to remind people about ethical codes and consequences. Scandals remind people of the limits more strongly, when a person involved in it goes thru the consequences. For instance when renowned sportsmen loose their sports credibility just because of a ridiculous extra marital affair, it helps other sportsmen to keep a check on their private behavior. Similarly, in the field of politics, religion, charity and social services any event of scandal actually takes a heavy toll on the faith people have in that system. This is like an alarming situation that no one wants to be in.

Organizations and institutions keep volunteers and employees upto the mark of training and education to prevent any scandalous mishaps. However, in the event of such occurrence the results are more complex than simply reforming or cleansing. Scandals at many a times are allegations that get publicity. These allegations are often hear say of events and prejudices accumulated. When a scandal is exposed a can of worm is opened. There are lot of investigations, litigations and other proceedings that go to prove black and white. This certainly costs great amount of resources, time and energy for anyone involved in it.

In the events, of the allegations being baseless the person still has to go through a painful path before one gets exonerated. This causes emotional scars, loose of respect amongst family members and social seclusion. At the cost of all vital aspects if a scandal impacts reformation at certain level than one must wonder about its value.

Recently, in China when the milk powder scandal surfaced there was a lot of blame game that went about. The bureaucrats blamed the production company and the company blamed its quality control engineers. Yet at the end of it there was not much of a system change in the way processed food companies logistics exist. Hence, one would wonder if scandals really help in performing more efficiently than reformers do.

A reformer or a speaker acts as a preventive and proactive element, which motivates the system to keep it healthy rather than a scandal which actually calls for cure after its occurrence.

Thus, a scandals effects no matter how remarkable it may be, possibly leaves many economical or emotional scars on the people involved in it. So assuming its thorough usefulness is a little too audacious a belief.
