Tuesday write Reality tv shows

Reality tv shows are very harmful to the modern day society. Reality tv shows are not beneficial because what happens in the shows doesnt always happen in peoples everyday lives.

In keeping up with the Kardashians they get to shop whenever they want and they can go anywhere in the country at any moment. This is not an example of what happens in peoples everyday lives. People that watch keeping up with the Kardashians can get unrealistic expectations about their lives. In addition Jersey shore expresses fake reality because you dont get to party every night. People that watch Jersey Shore may be influenced on the wrong ways of life. Reality tv shows do no good to people that watch them because they give a distorted and unrealistic look upon life.

Some people may believe that reality tv shows can be beneficial to peoples everyday lives! The Biggest Loser is helpful to people that need motivation, and need to lose weight! The TV show may be that extra boost some people need to get up and change the way the look and live after the experiencing the show. Additionally 16 and Pregnant can send a positive message to its viewers. The show folows the lives of people who have made the mistake getting pregnant at a young age. It show the consequences to the viewers of the harsh reality that a decision such as childbirth can bring.

However, contrary to the positives these two shows bring, the reality is that the viewer watching these shows are not learning, but are judging. These shows show personal struggles all for the entertainment of the general audience in addition to ratings which fund the network. I do not believe this is an ethical way to extort entertainment.   

Some reality tv shows can be beneficial but the majority of them are harmful to the people that watch them. While shows can show misfortune of others and possibly even teach us lessons, we only see what we want. We see the lives we can not have and want to be as wild as they are. Finally, I do not believe that someone's personal struggles should be used for profit, especially when displayed to the public.
