Reality TV

I believe that reality TV has had an impact on society in both negative and positive ways. Reality TV is mostly enjoyed by young audiences. Most people in reality shows are not celebrities. The audience may feel the emotions in these shows are very real because they are normal people who face real life situations. Reality TV shows like Teen Mom and 16 & Pregnant show how these people face these hard situations and how they deal with them in their everyday life. Some of these shows you can actually learn from them. Some of the viewers can relate to the situations these people go through. Also, they can be influential. The audience may feel a connection to the people on these shows. They can relate to the hardships they may have experienced.

In other reality shows, they show a negative impact on society. Some shows like Bad Girls Club view others drinking, partying, and fighting. People feed into these kinds of shows. The viewers of these shows enjoy watching this because of the entertainment. I feel that things people see and gain on reality TV is not always real. Some people may not realize the impact these Reality shows have on society.

A lot of these shows show grown people acting immature or like teenagers. I don’t think people’s lives are that interesting but Reality TV makes it more dramatic so it brings entertainment.

I would say that Reality TV has had an impact on my life. Most of the shows I watch now are reality shows. I am a big fan of Reality TV. I’m one of those people who keep up with shows like Bad Girls Club, Love and Hip Hop, Basketball Wives, Jersey Shore, and Teen Mom. I am one of those people who can’t wait to see the next episode. Most of these shows are the same and very childish. The people on here make complete fools of themselves for attention. I watch this because it is very entertaining to me.

I think that the only things that make Reality TV REAL are that there are real people with real emotions and real situations. But to make it entertaining for the cameras they make it a lot more dramatic than it should be.
