The Dangers of Reality TV from Timothy Sexton, it is an important reflection of the manipulation we are exposed by realities on TV. I strongly agree to the contest of this article, since I believe that television has a strong power of cauterized the attention of young audience, and send out wrong ideas to them. These are some of the ideas that are stated in the article; the importance of competition, the value of image and the lack of education.
Reality TV enfaces that through competition people often acquire success. It has been said that; in order to be the best you have to be one step ahead of your potential competitors. The article gives us an example on the most seen reality on TV. “The Bachelor Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire awarding a husband”. This reality shows hundred of women behind a rich guy who wants to engage with the perfect aspirant in the program. These women beat each other to mostly disrespect themselves. This model of competition is being incorporated to our social life in order to pursuit our happiness, therefore is use as a slogan by the American corporation’s view of success.
Reality TV prioritizes the image of people, they physical appearance rather than who they are as human beings. This views on TV send the wrong messages to thousands of people around the world, people is being judge for their outside looks and not for their inner values and skills. One of the examples showing through the article is; some people are better accepted in realities by the viewers because they are good looking. These realities send an idea of beauty rather than the intelligent of the person and do not consider the person’s judgment at all.
Reality TV shows; is projecting a completely wrong message by lacking the necessary of education goals to become famous in live. This can be found in any reality show in which people don’t appear to be educated and they possess fame which is the primary goal of many young adults that watch this type of shows. These viewers expected to gain the same privileges of those in the show by imitating them, as an outcome, people hope to get a chance the next super model or the new crew member of the next team-squad show, rather than following a career in arts or actuation. Thanks to these shows one person could become national recognizes by humiliating itself on any stage and make tons of money out of it. This sends out an idea that ridiculizes the effort of many Americans that go to college to make a good living and a better future.
In my conclusion, reality TV are changing the concept of how Americans persuade their life to success by sending wrong messages to the audience, these message are being receive mostly by young audience, this reflects the society to become less educated, more influence by the stereotype, and to be competitive rather than help each other to achieve their goals.
