Scandals, like other things, have both pros and cons. Scandals are useful if the purposes are good - serving as a mean to speak out the vices or condemn bad guys in order to achieve fairer and better society, and the scandal makers are able to maneuver scandals appropriately to gain sufficient public pressure to give impetus for vice elimination. Scandals unveil the seedier side of life otherwise hidden problems covered by the hallo. The awareness must be risen first before the resolution is thought. Not only rising awareness, some notorious scandals can also even prompt a complete investigation on the issues mentioned in scandals from which additional vices would be exposed and provide important impetus for reforms by rising enormous public pressure. For instance, the scandals of corruption of supreme officers in Brazil over the long time are important forces promoting public resent and resulting the recent demonstrations to ask for governmental intervention in this phenomenon; and the public has achieved their partial success when Brazilian authorities have promised to act.

However, scandals misused for merely personal gains, for example artists or singers usually use scandals to attract the public attention, or Too much insignificant scandals that pop up continuously over long term would not only distract people attention but also cause people to be tolerated to some issues. By tolerant, I means that people would not bother to pay attention to the problems anymore and accept those vices as chronic moral diseases of a particular society or class of people. Ultimately, no one would think about fighting against such "chronic diseases" but focusing their strength on how to live with them. For instance, entertainment world are notorious with lot of scandals around stars and shows and we except the fans are attracted to these kinds of scandals any more.

One thing need to be taken into consideration about the use of scandal in fighting against the vice is that scandal alone can not help to bring about the elimination to social vices but it only merely awake public to otherwise hidden vice in temporary manner - scandals are easy to be forgotten as new scandals pop up. Therefore, speakers and reformers are required later on to stick inconsolable consequences of vices disclosed from scandals into public's mind and make audiences desire to change. Not only to aware us to problems, they persuade us to think about the resolution rather than the problems itself and give us braveness to combat against vices. Speakers and reformers also function as facilitators or leaders who guide the public through the path to ultimately eliminate vices. History has witness most of mankind 's biggest problems have been solved by reformist and speaker not by scandals itself. We are all know about Mandela as an iconic leader who have spent whole life to fight against the Apartheid, a system of racial segregation existed in South Africa from 1948 to 1994, under which the rights of the majority black inhabitants of South Africa were curtailed and white minority rule was maintained. There had been so much scandals around Apartheid but the system did not collapse until the first black President Mandela become the determined reformer. He not only pointed out the rough face of Apartheid but also reshuffle the South African government step by step to facilitate the complete elimination of Apartheid.

In conclusion, scandals sometime are useful because they focus our attention on problems but they can not replace the reformers or speakers in elimination of social vices. We need both scandals and reformers and speakers to able to create social change, especially in dealing with big humanitarian crisis
