Issue 15 Unfortunately, the media tend to highlight what is sensational at the moment. Society would be better served if the media reported or focused more fully on events and trends that will ultimately have the most long- term significance.

The speaker asserts that rather than merely highlighting certain sensational events the media should provide complete coverage of more important events. While the speakers assertion has merit from a normative standpoint, in the final analysis I find this assertion indefensible.

個人認為這一段最後一句可以背掉放入自己建立的句子庫內。

Upon first impression the speakers claim seems quite compelling, for two reasons. First, without the benefit of a complete, unfiltered, and balanced account of current events, it is impossible to develop an informed and intelligent opinion about important social and political issues and, in turn, to contribute meaningfully to our democratic society, which relies on broad participation in an ongoing debate about such issues to steer a proper course. The end result of our being a largely uninformed people is that we relegate the most important decisions to a handful of legislators, jurists, and executives who may or may not know what is best for us. Second, by focusing on the sensationalby which I take the speaker to mean comparatively shocking, entertaining, and titillating events which easily catch ones attention-the media appeal to our emotions and baser instincts, rather than to our intellect and reason. Any observant person could list many examples aptly illustrating the trend in this directionfrom trashy talk shows and local news broadcasts to The National Enquixer and People Magazine. This trend dearly serves to undermine a societys collective sensibilities and renders a societys members more vulnerable to demagoguery; thus we should all abhor and resist the trend.
