作文:
Movies and TV dramas always express the wishfulthinking of people. Should we always show the audience that good people will berewarded and bad people will be punished? The discussion of this issue amongindividuals and society as a whole has come into vogue during these days. However,in my perspective, merely focus on advocating that good is rewarded and evil ispunished is unilateral. We should concede that this clear discrimination of badand good, which may show in the most of the movies and TV programs, truly has apositive effect for ordinary people, especially for young children. It canoffers a standard of what is preferred and what is not, and people with thiscriteria in his or her mind may more willing be kind and prevent some dangerousthings. Thus the safety of the society may be able to be reassured.
However, it is hard to define what kind ofperson is good or bad. For one thing, people are a complex creature and our mindsand thoughts may change in different period. And there is not an exact standardto judge whether a person is good or not. After all, everyone may make mistakesin their whole life. Take the Franklin Roosevelt for example. When faced withthe endless unemployment and the nadir stock price in Great Depression in1930s, the American leaders recognized that there must be something exigent, probablythe laws or politics, to prevent the devastating phenomenon. And thus, the newpolitics from Franklin Roosevelt Administration was promulgated immediately. Standingon this point, Franklin is definitely a good person that he helps the Americato recover from the disastrous problem. But the later ex-marital scandalinfluenced Franklin's reputation in 20th century. Many women at that timethought that he is a bad guy because of cheating in mirage. And everyone hastheir own judgment, so it is hard to tell whether Franklin is good or not. Thus,the judgment in the movies and TV shows may only represent the standard of thedirector or editor, and may not offers us a perfect way to discern whetherpeople is good or not.
Another essential factor why I qualified agreewith the convention is that movies and TV programs should represent the realityof a society. We have to admit that there are lots of people who did very badthing, even can be judged as criminal, and do not be punished in our society.Some people may use the 'holes' in the laws to gain some illegal profit butcannot be punished. So we need a clear cognition that not all the bad people mayimpose their dark side to us, and thus we need to protect ourselves when getalong with different kind of peoples. If we only announce that bad person willdefinitely have terrible fate, we may reduce attention to keep ourselves fromhurting by these kinds of people.
In summary, although I fundamentally agreewith the statement, a close scrutiny, from what has been discussed above, revealsthat overstate that good will gain rewards and evil will be punished will leadinto a jeopardize situation. Thus, take a balance, in order to be more positiveto the society, we need to advocate the good or bad standard in our movies andTV programs, but we should more focus on showing the reality rather than wishes.
