答案             Restriction on Dating Shows: Too Hasty, Too Premature
    Since the girl’s views on materialism became the spotlight on the stage and stirred heated controversy, dating shows have been restricted and cut down for the reason that they promote wrong value beliefs. For me, however, dating shows only reflect a social phenomenon that needs to be addressed. Cutting down the dating shows is a reckless action which merely scratches the surface of the problem.
    In the first place, the restriction policy has ignored the fact that dating shows function only as a medium which allows different opinions to be expressed, instead of a platform which conveys certain kinds of value. The dating shows cannot control what the guests think or say. When a girl says she worships materialism, she is just expressing her personal viewpoint. The formation of such opinion may have something to do with the girl’s family background or her understanding of the world, but it surely has nothing to do with the dating shows themselves. In other words, the assumption that cutting down dating shows would help curb or even eliminate such kind of inappropriate mindsets in the society is naive. It is implemented out of the wrong motive. That’s why it will only treat the symptoms and can never cure the disease.
    In addition, the officials have failed to understand that dating shows are actually doing them a favor by bringing the otherwise hidden problems to the surface. TV viewers these days receive more education and can judge what they see critically. As a matter of fact, when the female guests’ views, right or not, are put on the Internet, comments by a lot of netizens will soon come after, which shows that most people can distinguish between truth and falsehood by themselves. As time goes by, some unhealthy values such as materialism in this increasingly commercialized society will obviously come out of viewers’ hot discussions and comments, and then arouse people’s high attention to reevaluate them. This is also a good chance for the government as well as the media to educate people to establish a better sense of value. Therefore, dating shows are not good for nothing. They may cause reflections and bring education, which is beneficial to the society as a whole.
    In conclusion, cutting down dating shows seems a hasty action based on only one side of the story. Officials can make more sensible decisions if they are able to see the benefits brought by the incident.
