I've been doing a lot of research on reality tv, and a lot of people feel that while it's not great television, it's here to stay.
I must say personally, I really like some of it. America's next top model is one of my favs.
I also believe that TV as a whole is responsible for the downfall in our morals. People are willing to do whatever it takes to get onto TV. Just read over what the requirements are to be on America's Next Top Model http://www.fox34.com/top_model/model_rules.pdf
(sorry, I have no idea how to do a link...) My personal favourite is part 19 where it basically says you have to be willing to do and say anything to be on this show.On the other hand, show's like The Real World on MTV have been somewhat good for our society. Pretty well every season has some kind of homosexual person on it, and it this has helped many teens see that it's not wrong, and that they'll be OK. And The Biggest Loser, has helped LOTS of people lose weight.
So that's what I've found... You gotta love stupid pointless papers... do profs really have nothing better to do?
