The article “The dangers of a Reality TV”, talks about how these reality shows have a strong influence in our society. Also, points out that these kind of shows want to send the same message about how competition is important in someone’s life, how “the value of image over ability and the obsolescence of education”. I agree that to be a winner or to play a role in one of these shows, your beauty counts more than your ability and also, that these kind of reality shows incentive a lot of competetition among people.
First, have you ever noticed that the winner of a Reality show is always the pretty one? And not smart one. The media is not interesting in put an ugly person who will never call someone’s attention to win a Reality Show. Nowadays, people are so superficial that being a smart person is not a quality anymore. Inside of this world of television, who has the nicest body and prettiest smile will be a winner?
I remember once I was watching one Reality show which happens in my country Brazil. The reality show happens in a house during 3 months with 12 people. While they are living in this house, there are lots of games and competition happening to eliminate them. So, first they selected only beautiful people to participate, everyone very attractive. Second, the ones who are not that cute get the less number of votes and they are eliminated of the show. The winner is always the more attractive. It s something so obvious, that since the beginning of the reality show, everyone can figure out who is going to be the winner.
Second, this reality shows always create an environment of competition among people. It gives an example to people that to be good you need to compete with others which is not true. Nowadays companies are voiding competitions inside their environment because competition is a kind of feeling that put people against people and to have a good time where people work together to reach the companies point, competition are not recommended. I can see from the company where my best friend works, every week the company buys for the group lunch and happy hour. They get together to avoid the competition and to create a friendly environment among them. Competition is for the reality show and not a good example for real life.
In sum, Reality TV shows don’t bring anything interesting to someone’s life. Reality shows are all about competition between them to be the winner, and also to show who has the best image. At least the smart win because he/her deserves and not because of an “image packaged”.
