Prompt #20: Today, there are more and more reality shows on television. Do these shows make good television? Why or why not? Explain your answer using specific reasons and examples.
In today’s society, there are more reality television shows than the news or any shows that illustrate and tell informative information. The reality television is a form of entertainment within the younger generation, but some of these shows have writers in their staff that conducts the script for the “actors”. Not all reality television shows are real but they are perceived as if every “character” showed their “real” feelings and every situation that comes up at a certain location happened “intentionally”. Although these shows are entertaining, they do not necessarily make good television.
Many reality shows broadcast a lot of drama and violence. It is another “he said, she said” bunch of junk. Drama, action, and violence seem to be the only thing that grabs the viewer’s attention. This makes the United States
Reality shows are a bad influence to the younger generation. Even though they censor the curse words that appear in almost every sentence of the characters mouth, children and teens still know what that character has just blurted out. When children and teens see this kind of behavior, then they start to act exactly like the characters of a certain reality show. This can cause more violence and drama in school and around their peers. It is as if reality television is their “role model”.
Reality television is like virus that spreads to other kinds of shows and movies. Now, there are the news such as Fox 11 that uses scandals and gossip to make their news updates more fascinating. News broadcasts use this outrageous propaganda in order to boost up their ratings and gain a larger audience. What was once honest news became a disgraceful paparazzi chat. People now are only interested in the dirt behind the news than the true pure facts of honorable or dishonorable situations going on in ordinary citizens and the government.
It is okay to watch some type of entertainment once in awhile, but there is too much drama and unnecessary violence that leads towards a selfish society of idiots. If it’s going to be a reality show, there shouldn’t be on the credits “script writers” or any kind of writers. Many reality shows are creating a corrupt society of innocent children and teens committing harmful acts towards another individual. A corrupt society will create a more violent nation.
