reality television

There isn’t much I can say about reality television shows. The reason I say that is because I do not really like to watch reality shows. In my opinion they are boring. I don’t find any type of entertainment out of these reality television shows. I believe if you want “reality”, you should go out and experience it, instead of spending hours glued to the television watching some choreographed television show. There is too much drama and not enough reality in reality television shows nowadays, but it seems like that’s what everyone wants to see.

In a sense it seems like reality television shows are becoming a part of American culture just like fast food. It seems that everywhere I go people are talking about the latest or upcoming episode of the newest reality television show. I think reality television has a great effect mainly on the younger generation of teenagers. I see many young teenagers trying to imitate many of the characters on “Jersey Shore”. Having said that, I think reality television shows can have a negative influence on society, especially on younger teenagers. On the other hand, these reality television shows may also have a positive effect on society. For example, by exposing many of the consequences of teen pregnancies, (as seen on teen mom) people can gain a more profound sense of knowledge, and try to avoid the mistakes made by other people on these reality television shows. It all depends on how you perceive what you are watching, and how you project that onto society.
