Most people enjoy watching reality TV for its humor
and entertainment. It excites people from the actions they present and the
lifestyle they presume. Reality TV shows are popular because it shows conflict,
intense fighting and another world that is different from yours. I bet everyone
of you have seen a reality TV show or had flipped through the channels and
notice something that capture your eye, It could have been a catfight or arguments.
The majority of people find it to be more amusing while others do not accept
it. So, do you find reality TV show to be exciting or wrong in society? Well, it
depends on your point of view and the way you feel about that.
Ever since I was young, I grew up watching reality TV shows;
which were Laguna beach, The Hills, Real World, Flava Flav, Jersey Shore, Teen
Mom etc. These shows drew attention to me because they are exciting, funny and
stupid. One of the shows that I enjoyed
the most was Jersey Shore. Jersey shore to me was hilarious, crazy and full of
drama. I was always entertained watching it because every single episode will
include fighting and arguing with each other. I grew to be addicted watching
this show to the point where every Thursday I would wait until it was 10:00p.m
to watch it.
I feel like Jersey Show is harming our society and making it
seem as if the things they do are okay. An example of this is when the girls
and guys go out to clubs drunk and meet up with random males and females to
have sex. It is showing a bad example to the children because there maturity
level isn’t develop yet, so in their mind they think it’s cool to be able to
drink and be promiscuous. The cast
members from the Jersey Shore are being called disgusting and trashy from what
they provoked in the show. The media and people around the world make comments
about them in public including Kevin Hart when he hosted the MTV awards. There
are much more shows that harm society but there is some that are benefiting
such as, Beyond Scared Straight. It teaches the teenagers that if you don’t behave
then you’ll end up in prison. The mothers and fathers send their trouble kids
to a prison tour which they have to stay there all day and get punished by the
inmates as well as the officers.
For me watching reality shows is something that I do not
avoid. I try my best to avoid it but every time I turn on the TV there’s always
a reality show on. Knowing my self, I’d rather watch that then a boring show or
something dealing with discovery channel. Watching reality shows is more like a
guilty pleasure for me because I enjoy watching it but at the same time I know
it’s inappropriate and wrong. This is a habit for me and I don’t plan on
changing it.
I watched all those shows too! I think it's easy for people to talk bad about reality shows when they don't actually get into them.
ReplyDeleteGood essay. Enjoyed reading it .
ReplyDeleteYup, So true It's hard to avoid reality televison since it's always on.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree that the shows you mentioned are entertaining as television should be, but it does illustrate as you said to the younger generation no limits or morals.
ReplyDeleteI like how you are not afraid to admit that you are into reality shows, i think we all like one deep down inside of us.
ReplyDeleteI also feel the same way you feel, when you say that its harming our society by making it seem like its okay to do some of the things they do, when in reality it is not okay to do and it is very inappropriate.
