                                                                The Dangers of Reality TV

In my easy I will explain why television reality shows reinforces allot of unsafe messages, and the dangers of these shows affect our everyday life. These television shows affect society in sometimes a negative way, however most of these shows also promote a lot of “competition and the value of image over ability and also the obsolescence of education,” many reality television shows have come and gone, as a child growing up in this ERA most of these shows sends out the significance of competition, why I say that is the fact that shows try to educate you as if you was a toddler, there was one on television called the Flavor of Love. Now this show has a group of girls are in a mansion with only one man and these girls would try or do anything to stab the other in their back with a lot of disrespect to go along with. All these girls are competing to win the man’s heart and also trying to be famous with riches, some say competition is the key to success but not everything in life have to be about competition, but competition is what sells.
Because even the same television companies compete to reach the top. The image of these shows in the minds of kids like the X Factor, survivor, and the apprentice and many more, the kids may think that it’s cool to go on one of these shows and get rich just by singing or jumping off a cliff, eating worms, bugs, politics and even going days without a shower, thinking they could walk out of that show with a container of money without even trying to attend college and obtain a education is not acceptable for anyone with the obsolescence to that mind set. Reality television also expose certain messages, that the solution to success is image relatively more than our ability. I oppose that because if a person know that they could win with their voice on a show like the X Factor, but because you are not that beautiful enough or attractive even if they have the talent to compete and off the street, meaning homeless you should still have a strong chance of winning the competition because of the image factor.
In conclusion reality Television has more unsound information, we should know that education comes first not trying to acquire riches from these shows, not brainwash by these shows education may give you that American dream.
