Because of satellite links which now enable broadcast news organizations to originate live programming from any part of the globe, the entire world is becoming one giant sound stage for television news. As a result, Shakespeare’s famous line, "all the world is a stage," has taken on an interesting new twist in meaning.
Even before today’s worldwide satellite links were possible, the growing effect of broadcast news technology on national and international politics was becoming increasingly evident.
Because television is a close-up medium and a medium that seems to most readily involve emotions, it is most effective when it is revealing the plights of people. During the Vietnam War, reading about war was one thing, but war took on a deeper and more unsavory(令人讨厌的)dimension when it was exported directly into U. S. living rooms night after night by television. Public opinion eventually turned against the war and to some measure against President Johnson who was associated with it. As a result of the public opinion backlash(消极反应)during these times, the Pentagon was thereafter much more careful to control what foreign correspondents and TV crews would be allowed to see and report.
It was during this time that President Carter brought the issue of human rights to the centre of his foreign policy, and, to some degree, to the centre of international politics. "Human rights is the soul of our foreign policy," Carter said. "Of all human rights the most basic is to be free of arbitrary violence, whether that violence comes from government, from terrorists, from criminals, or from self-appointed messiahs(救世主)operating under the cover of politics or religion. "
Although political viewpoints have changed since then, because of the emotional nature of human rights, this has emerged as the "soul" of television news. The transgression(侵犯)of human rights has been the focus of many, if not most, major international television news stories. The reporting of these stories has created outrage in the world, prompted attempts at censorship by dictators, and in many cases resulted in the elimination of human rights abuses.
What was a possible result when President Carter brought the issue of human rights to the centre of his foreign policy?
选项
A、The Pentagon failed to control the report of the media.
B、People turned their attention to the transgression of human rights.
C、All censorship of broadcast news was eliminated.
D、The Vietnam War was ended.
答案
B
解析
推理题。最后一段提到自从Carter总统把人权问题作为美国外交政策的中心后,对人权的侵犯就成了很多电视媒体报道的重要内容。也就是说,人们开始关注人权问题。
