Reality
Lies
The cabs here! If you know that phrase then you
definitely know what I'm referring to,
"The Jersey Shore"! A reality TV show that takes place in no
other than the Jersey Shore. Filled with drama, clubbing, sexuality and
laughter.
Not only does the show portray how a bunch of
young people act living in a beach house doing nothing but drinking, clubbing, dealing
with drama, and taking girls back to their houses to have intercourse with
them. They do do one thing right, the importance of safe sex and checking
yourself for STDS is a major thing for the roommates. This show is meant to
show how these strangers get along in one house together. The Jersey Shore has
shown our youth love, friendship, and the importance of family. This show has its
good episodes and bad ones, it all depends how you view it. The Jersey show is
on air for enjoyment and not to harm our society.
In my opinion I don't think its harming
society, everyone has their own choice to watch the show or not. Shows like The
Jersey Shore have influenced some people to speak different, change their hair,
and party more. Reality TV shows are there to give us a chance to view how
people of other cultures live. Society really doesn't benefit from any of this,
just the pure enjoyment of another person’s failure or accomplishment in life
and how they live their luxurious life either being a complete douche person or
watching a show that is really about what they're portraying. There's also a
possibility of obtaining new information and using that knowledge to your
advantage at some point in your life, like for example a survival show or a
food network reality TV show.
Then you have the Kardashian show. The family received a show
because of Kim’s porn video drama. The families show is truly what they are
dealing with in their lives whether it’s a new store they are setting up to a divorce.
The Kardashians can seem fake at times but they do have a different way of
living than most of us. Being in the lime light and having to seem perfect all
the time can be stressful for one person to handle. It’s intriguing to watch
because we gravitate toward drama and the outcome of the situation. They make
us involved in their personal life therefore we feel more invested and try to
find a solution in our own minds.
Personally I don't like to watch them, but when
I do it's like a guilty pleasure. Every one of us likes drama, and cliffhangers
at the end of each show makes you want to watch more right after it. As
much as I try to avoid them I can't help but to watch them when everyone is
talking about them. A new show starts and it starts trending, that's how
society is and always will be.
I agree everyone likes a little drama. Ill do the same thing, ill watch it if its on.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty cool that we get nifty catch phrases from reality shows, but it does become annoying. If your really into, you can do what others do and read the magazines that say headlines like "Snooki at it again!", but to me those are kinda wasting space.
ReplyDeleteTheir is good and bad in any show but in the end is the way you view the show. Also when you said you just can't help it but watch a show just cause you want to know why everybody is talking about this new show.
ReplyDeleteI mean to see how the kardashians live is intriguing but also completely pointless. Mob mentality when it starts becoming popular everyone will do it.
ReplyDeleteSo true, reality shows are almost always about drinking and so much partying. I agree, reality shows are pretty much just for us to see how others live.
