Scandalswhether in politics, academia, or other areascan be useful. They focus our attention on problems in ways that do speaker or reformer ever could.
n) 丑闻确实可以很快集中公众的注意力集中到一些社会问题上面,对社会是有益的。政治上,Watergate,the scandal forever increased the level of scrutiny and accountability to which our public officials are held, thereby working a significant and lasting benefit to our society学术上,比如美国MIT的副教授一直在免疫学immunology学术界有很高声望,被揭露修改编造实验数据来伪造研究成果获取荣誉,后被学校开除。其他领域。2001年,ENRON虚报盈利、隐瞒巨额债务的丑闻被揭开,导致美国加大对会计监督accountings and statistics。
o) 过多的丑闻降低了政府的权威,掩盖了政府对社会做出的贡献。The U.N.s now-defunct Oil-for-Food Program is under investigation for alleged corruption and fraud, prompting some U.S. officials to call for U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annans resignation. 可是联合国对世界和平和各国发展做出了更多的贡献,丑闻导致秘书长辞职,是联合国的损失
p) 对于国家,丑闻掩盖了那些更需要关注和解决的深层次的问题。过度丑闻耗费巨大人力财力,克林顿性丑闻耗费7000万美元,国会可以利用这些时间和金钱去处理更有意义的事情,such as the Kosovo crisis, our social-security crisis, and health-care reform, to name just a few。
Originality does not mean thinking something that was never thought before; it means putting old ideas together in new ways.
q) 原创建立在旧思想上。在艺术上,不管新的艺术风格多么与众不同,但是仍然建立在绘画,雕塑等的基本知识上,比如虽然Monet的印象派是一种艺术表达方式的创新,但是也是建立在传统绘画的基本功,并对各种绘画流派的理解和综合产生的。在科学上,比如虽然Wegener的板块学说plate tectonics是一种创新但是也建立在传统地质科学知识geological finding and fossils上的,而这些基本知识都是旧的,只是如何用组织他们来构成新的理论
r) 现在的科学成果,日常的经验也证明了这一点。比如电脑,是一个创新,但是仍然是半导体物理,数学,电子学,机械等知识的组合。在比如网络购物也是一种创新,但是它也是网络技术,与传统商业,金融业的综合应用。
s) 但是有的时侯创新就是一种从来没有过的思想,就是对人类科学理论的创新与革命。比如量子力学,如果仅仅在经典力学classical mechanics基础上发展,把旧理论进行组合,是无论如何也不能产生量子力学quantum mechanics与相对论的。
