公务员考试面试热点:微博问政考验 【背景解读】 微博,是“微型博客”的简称,是一种由博客演变而来的网络新媒体,用户可以用不同的客户端、移动通讯设备登录微博网站,随时随地发送每条通常在140字之内的即时短信息。目前,国内几大门户网站都已推出微博服务。 微博不仅仅是信息传播的宠儿,更是网络问政的利器。2010年,从方舟子被袭到提问广州亚运,从曝光常德抢尸到“我爸是李刚”造句运动,在一件又一件热点议题中,微博都显示出强大的网络信息放大功能。就在3个月前,深陷拆迁之困的江西宜黄县钟家九妹,还不知道一种叫“微博”的东西会改变她个人和家庭的命运;就在近一个月前,一条“悬赏寻尸全城通缉”的消息出现在“厦门警方在线”的微博里引起网民强烈关注,民警通过网友提供的线索,将犯罪嫌疑人抓获。 随着微博影响力的扩大,越来越多的专家学者和社会名人开始使用微博,增强了微博问政的力度和广度。和红火的网络与博客一样,当微博得到网民的追捧、一呼百应之际,也对政府的决策、沟通、处置乃至公共治理能力提出新的考验。 在即将过去的2010年,一次次社会热点事件被微博传播放大,一些地方的党政机关和干部越来越意识到微博的重要性,开始用不同方式尝试利用微博听取民意、汇集民智。2010年2月,广东开设我国首批公安微博群,此后,河北公安微博群、济南公安微博群等相继浮出水面。8月1日,北京公安正式开通官方微博“平安北京”后,20天内访问量突破210万人次,“粉丝”近5万人。各地公安机关的微博在2010年如雨后春笋般出现。 微博并不“微”,这个其实很强大的网络舆论工具在2010年以爆炸性的发展速度一跃成为网络问政的新媒介,考验政府的执政智慧。

资料: 1.2003年4月以来,北京、广东、河北等17个省市公安机关共依法查处借“非典”问题利用互联网、手机短信制造传播“非典”谣言案件107起,依法刑事拘留12人,治安拘留33人,罚款20人,行政警告25人,批评教育24人。公安部有关负责人表示,下一步公安机关还将加大查处相关案件力度。 2.4月26日,北京黄某在网上发表题为“绝对可靠内部消息,XX市隐瞒大量“非典”病例”的文章,称“XX市已有四百多人因非典死亡”,这些毫无根据、胡编乱造的谣言在社会上造成恶劣影响。接报后,北京市公安机关迅速组织力量开展调查,于5月3日将黄某查获。目前黄某已被刑事拘留。 3.4月29日,湖北武汉某大学研究生董某收到山东某大学研究生张某网上发来的一则信息,谎称某某可乐灌装厂发现“非典”,员工被送入医院,最近不要喝某某可乐等,董某即将此信息发送给本省和福建、山东、江苏、吉林等地三十多人。武汉公安机关迅速侦破了此案,给予董某行政警告并交由学校教育处理,张某由山东公安机关依法处理。 4.针对近期少数法轮功顽固分子借SARS病毒流行之机,进行造谣煽动和捣乱破坏活动的情况,江苏公安机关采取措施,及时查处有关案件,有效维护了全省的社会稳定。目前,该省南京、淮安等地已有5名法轮功顽固分子分别受到治安拘留、治安警告和训诫教育等处理。淮安市电容器厂工人沈洋1999年2月开始修炼法轮功。2003年4月25日,因两次参与法轮功非法活动受到公安机关治安处罚后怀恨在心的沈洋,竟公然对上门走访的民警宣扬法轮功歪理邪说,大言不惭地说:“李洪志老师在书上说过,世界要有毁灭性的病情来临,这下果然应验了”、“像我们练习过法轮功的人就不会得非典型性肺炎,我们不仅不怕,反而高兴”、“你们看,以后还有更大的灾难”,等等。淮安警方根据《中华人民共和国治安管理处罚条例》的有关规定,于5月4日依法对其处以治安拘留15天。 5.2003年5月6日晚上11点左右,山西省忻州市忻府区突然响起了剧烈的“劈劈啪啪,鞭炮声,直到5月7日凌晨,周围村里和市区好像过春节一样。5月7日早晨,鞭炮声依然不断。记者听一些居民说,放鞭炮可以驱走“非典”。一位公司职员对记者说,昨天有朋友打电话,说放鞭炮、喝绿豆汤可以防治“非典”,他下班后就匆匆忙忙地买回鞭炮燃放,全家喝了绿豆汤才放心。对此,记者采访了忻州市人民医院副院长张培林。张培林对这种说法哑然一笑:适量喝绿豆汤可以清热去火,但它对消毒却没任何作用。至于放鞭炮防非典”,可能是人们的一种心愿吧。然而慌乱中买鞭炮、放鞭炮,如果被炸伤或发生火灾,就得不偿失了。日常生活中,以正确的心态对待“非典”,注重个人卫生、加强室内的通风和消毒等,才是更为科学的防治办法。 6.2003年5日至6日,湖北天门市防治“非典”指挥部配合公安部门,依法严查放鞭炮“驱邪的荒唐行为,一批违禁者受到处分。连日来,“放鞭炮、挂艾草可驱邪,可防治非典的谣言在武汉周边及江汉平原一带甚嚣尘土,一些不法商人则趁机兜售鞭炮和艾草,大发昧心财。针对这一现象,5日至6日,天门市防治“非典”指挥部迅速采取行动,配合警方在全市二十几个乡镇采取统一行动,严查违禁行为。5日下午4时许,天门市竟陵派出所民警在城区巡查时,当场抓获一名正在燃放鞭炮的商店女老板钱某,并收缴了店内非法摆放的鞭炮多盘。5日晚,竟陵派出所民警来到开发区陈方小区,当场收缴一名崔姓店主非法储存的鞭炮34盘。 目前,这两名非法燃放、储存鞭炮的店主均被治安拘留。7.2003年5月6日深夜,湖北省公安厅出紧急通知,要求全省公安机关严厉打击传播谣言行为及迷信活动。通知要求:各地警方要及时收集和上报此类信息,把谣言和迷信活动遏制在初始阶段;采取发布通告、媒体宣传等方式大力宣传科学。通知称,在国家防治叫E典”时期,对于捏造或歪曲事实,故意散布谣言煽动扰乱社会秩序的,可以根据<<刑法》追究刑事责任;不够刑事处罚的,可以依照《 治安管理处罚条例》作出处罚。 8.2003年5月6日,来自贵州纳雍、毕节、大方、威宁、水城、六枝、织金、黔西等地的电话称:目前,当地城区、乡间鞭炮声震天,伴随的是一个同样的谣言:“放鞭炮,防非典”。有不少人打电话是为求证这种说法的科学性,大方县一位叫刘梅的医生却是表达愤怒的心情:“整个县城乌烟瘴气,不要说防“非典”,尘土简直可以直接导致肺病!”贵州省传染性“非典”型肺炎防治领导小组办公室介绍,“防非办”也已接到多起电话,了解了详细情况——据传纳雍某镇的一位八十多岁的哑巴老人突然说话:“放鞭炮,防非典。”虽然该县副县长已发表“相信科学,不要传谣信谣”的电视讲话,但谣言仍迅速蔓延至周边县市。 9.2003年5月6日,记者在家乡内蒙古鄂尔多斯市政府所在地东胜区采访。晚11时左右,突然被一阵激烈的鞭炮声从睡梦中惊醒,紧接着在鄂尔多斯市一家大型企业工作的妹妹给我打来电话说,和她住在一起的一个陕西省神木县的女孩刚刚接到家里电话被告知:神木县一妇女于5月5日生下一男婴,这个男婴于5月6日突然开口说话,称“非典”这场灾难属老天收人,他是上天派来搭救万民的,具体做法很简单,只要家家户户每人于5月6日晚12点之前熬喝绿豆汤,即可免于灾难。记者正在为越来越激烈的鞭炮声纳闷时,一位做灯具生意的朋友张女士也就此谣传打来电话询问。张女士在电话中告诉记者,她正睡得香,突然被老家在陕西省的邻居老太太急促的敲门声惊醒,央求她开车给正在某单位值班的儿子送绿豆汤,并称左邻右舍已都在熬绿豆汤喝。随后,记者手机来电不断,有从市区打来的,有从农村老家内蒙古达拉特旗蓿亥图乡打来的,有从陕西省 神木县打来的,有从包头市打来的亲戚、朋友们在电话中将他们听来的故事讲得有板有眼,绘声绘色,但结果都不约而同:宁可信其有,不可信其无,喝点绿豆汤又喝不坏,反正他们都已喝了,劝记者也赶快弄点喝。 10.2003年5月8日上午,北京市委书记刘淇,市委副书记、代市长王岐山与科技部部长、全国防治“非典”指挥部科技攻关组组长徐冠华等亲切座谈,共商依靠科学方法,运用科学手段,加快科技攻关,科学防治,战胜“非典”。徐冠华同志介绍了全国防治“非典”型肺炎指挥部科技攻关组的工作。4月25日科技攻关组成立以来,夜以继日地紧张工作,现已启动了85项科研攻关项目,落实了1.08亿元攻关经费,科技攻关已全面展开,在流行病学科技攻关、临床科技攻关、药物科技攻关、防护科技攻关和国际科技合作上取得了较大进展。病毒基因和蛋白检测早期诊断技术、针对“非典”型肺炎患者病毒抗体的特异性诊断试剂盒、“非典”型肺炎病毒灭活疫苗等已经或将要陆续投入到临床实验或使用。刘淇同志说,攻关组在短短的时间内,防治“非典”科研攻关很有成果。要打赢防治“非典”这场艰巨的斗争,关键要发挥科学技术的作用。北京市要与科技攻关组密切配合,采取科学方法,依靠科学手段,加快科技攻关,运用科学技术力量,科学防治战胜“非典”。北京当前防治“非典”的形势依然是严峻的,要坚决依靠科学、依靠群众,在防治“非典”的斗争中,建立完善的防病治病公共卫生体系,从预防水平到装备水平都要有一个人的提高。 11、2003年5月8日,广东省政府召开的防治“非典”型肺炎科技攻关工作会议上,广东省防治非典科技攻关小组公布,已经在特异诊断、防疫手段到治疗措施等方面研究取得进展,其中运用抗体和核酸进行的快速诊断方法将从下周起在广州地区18家收治叫非典病人的医院陆续应用。经过临床试用,证明其敏感性较高,可以在2小时查出发病l一7天病人是否患有非典型肺炎。科技攻关领导小组顾问、著名呼吸病防治专家钟南山院士强调:快速诊断方法的运用,其目的是尽快排查疑似病人,以降低社会的恐慌心理。另外,疫苗研制攻关组在汇报中透露,基因工程疫苗、多肽疫苗等研究已经有所进展,专家们有信心找到“非典”病毒的防疫方法。中西医救治组根据广东省治疗非典成功率高的经验,总结了皮质激素和无创通气的临床应用。12.针对少数市民听信燃放烟花爆竹能防治“非典”和驱邪避灾的谣传,2003年8日安徽省公安厅发出紧急通知,在全省范围内迅速开展查处违规燃放烟花爆竹的行动,严厉打击造谣惑众、扰乱社会秩序的犯罪分子。6日晚安徽省内谣言四起,宣城、阜阳、毫州、六安等市都传说当地某婴儿生下后就能讲话、合肥要发生地震等,在省内老百姓中造成恐慌气氛。安徽省公安厅介绍,在了解这个情况后,安徽各地公安部门迅速开展了行动。在蚌埠,市公安局出动警力97人,收缴各类爆竹58万头,取缔非法销售烟花爆竹摊点9个;在宣城,市局在派出警力收缴烟花爆竹的同时,还抽出6人,分赴宣州区、郎溪县、广德县调查谣言来源;在省会合肥,市公安局治安支队民警走上街头和小区进行巡查,对围观者宣传《合肥市禁止燃放烟花爆竹的规定》。 申论要求 1、请用不超过150字的篇幅,概括出给定资料所反映的主要问题。 2.用不超过350字的篇幅,提出解决给定资料所反映问题的方案。要有条理地说明,要体现针对性和可操作性。 3.就给定资料所反映的主要问题,用 1200字左右的篇幅,自拟标题进行论述。要求中心明确,内容充实,论述深刻,有说服力。
