I agree that reality television posses a danger in today's society. Reality television reinforces several unsound messages that are molding the minds of its young fans. According to the author Timothy Sexton of Buzzle.com "The Dangers of Reality TV.", reality television promotes the old belief that compition is the key to success in a capitalist economy, it also sends the message that the to success is image rather than the ability, and that education is completely unnecessary to fulfill the American dream.
Reality television exposes our kids to sex and voilence, especially the series shows. It sends the message that money can be awarded for being crazy, or doing one of a kind show. My kids recently called my attention to one of their shows where Will Smith's daughter dancing a song about whipping her head back and forth, personally I think the song and it's movement is crazy, but I she makes a lot of money frome doing things like that. Some reality television shows uses slang language which sends the wrong message and influence to our kids. It also show that life in general is a compition, in order for success which is achieve by image rather than ability. Reality television shows that in every show there is a winner and a loser, which nobody wants to be a loser.
Reality television is sending a message to everyone that education is completely unnessary to fulfill the American dream, all you need is fame and lots of money, but in reality that fame can be replaced by someone trying to do better in another series. Education cannot be taken away from you; you can achieve great success in education with a focus mind.
Reality television is a greater challenge to get on a show, you may do adution of a hundred people before you pick five people for a show. These series shows would not demonstrate how difficult it is to get on a show, its all about the reality television, they show you what they want you to see, and its up to the person to see the dangers of reality television. Reality television is all about a compition.
