Outline:
这个题目的观点是有问题的。说法太绝对了，诚然，媒体加大了公众人物丑闻的曝光可能性。但是并不代表没有可能树立一个英雄人物，真正的英雄是经得起个各种检验的。
现代传媒的确威力巨大。他们有时候能够创造英雄，有时候也能毁灭一个英雄。媒体之所以破坏英雄形象，出自于对利益的追求，他们为了最大化自身的利益，迎合公众的需求，一次获得公众的关注。比如Nixon 的Water Gate Scandal 和Bill Clinton的sex scandal，each of which become the hottest topic being reported on the mediacoverage. If it were not for the mass media scrutiny, we would expect thatpeople still regard them as the national hero. Admittedly, it is human natureto pry into the privacy of public figures, deriving from envy or jealousness. 为了利益最大化有一些媒体甚至传播一些不可靠的scandal，一次博取公众的眼球。
但是，媒体的追踪报道未必会削减社会名人的声望。真正的社会名望不惧媒体的关注。真正的英雄(Turningback to the real hero)，不管媒体怎样窥视他们私人生活pry about ，他们还是一样受人们尊重。一方面真正出色的人，在私人时间，也是非常常规的生活——看书，休息，运动——让媒体没有可乘之机，做事保持很高的道德水准。另一方面是他们的出色成就让他们的所谓的错误行为那么微不足道，比如罗斯福，他也有EX-marital scandal ，但是这些行为比起他的成就——走出大萧条，领导二战取得胜利，他是公认的20世纪最伟大的总统，人们及使知道丑闻，但是仍然和以前一样尊敬他。所以真正的英雄，仍然有很高的声誉，不管媒体怎样报道。
即使上述原因成立，也不能推出题目中的结论。To err is human, nobody couldlive flawlessly. 也许人们会原谅一个伟大的社会名人了一些小错误因为他曾经的贡献。而且社会英雄未必是那些有很高的社会声望的人。他们也许是一些普通人，比如慈爱而有奉献精神的母亲，一个忠于职守的警察，秉持正义的法官，他们都可以是社会英雄。他们普通股而又真实，也经得起媒体的挑剔。

The author`s viewis plausible. The statement is too absolute. It is true that media scrutiny hasincreased the possibility of a public character`s scandal.be exposured. That isnot in the name of it is no longer possible for a society to regard any livingman or woman as a hero. The true hero can be framed for any media scrutiny.
Themodern media scrutiny is powerful. Sometimes they can create a hero, sometimesthey can destroy a hero. Media broke a hero may result from seeking for theirprofit. They cater to public for obtaining concentration to maximize their benefit.For example, Nixon`s Water Gate Scandal and Bill Clinton`s Sex Scandal. Each ofwhich become the hottest topic reported on media coverage. If it were not forthe mass media scrutiny, we would expect that people still regard them asnational hero. Admittedly, it ishuman nature to pry into the privacy of public figures, deriving from envy orjealousness. Actually, some media transform some irresponsible scandals for attainingmore profitable and more as possible.
But,it is not sure that media scrutiny would lead to the reputation of anyonediminished definitely. On one hand, the true reputation is not fear with themedia scrutiny. Turning back to the real hero, in spite of how the mediascrutiny, they will behave as normal-reading, relaxed, so some sports-make mediano chance to defame them, do everything with high ethical standard. On theother hand, a hero`s excellent achievement make their flaws so insignificant. Suchas Roosevelt, also with Ex-marital Scandal, but compare these behaviors withhis achievement-leading American out of the Great Depression and win the War II.He is the greatest president acknowledged in the world in 20 th century. Peoplerespect him just like before even though people has be aware of his scandal. Sothe true hero would keep up the high reputation regardless of media scrutiny.
Itis impossible to deduce the title`s conclusion even these reasons established. Toerr is human, nobody could live flawless. Maybe people would excuse a greathero`s mistake because of their accomplishment once. Nevertheless, a hero maybe a common person-a clement and dedicated mother, a police who is devoted tohis duty and a judge who uphold justice. They are ordinary and real, they canwithstand media scrutiny. |
