Reality TV Shows

Reality TV shows are becoming a big conflict in society now a days. I rarely watch any television but when I do is really hard to find something interesting to watch, due to the fact that almost every channel now airs reality TV shows.  MTV is a channel that is known for reality T.V shows such as teen mom, the real world, jersey shore, and many more.  By these shows being aired I question myself what is their goal for these types of shows to be shown thought out the United Sates. In my opinion none of these shows rely a good message to the audience.  Being pregnant at 15 and yet still partying and doing drugs like the girl in a TV show who is well known relies a bad message to those teen moms who get influenced by TV.

Many people might not think about this but many decision of a human being could be done due to what they watch. Jersey shore which a very popular TV show that is based on partying every night and getting drunk, hooking up with girls/or boys and having no responsibilities. Many young people might think that is the right thing to do and follow their steps.  

I have seen reality shows and they could be very entertaining and funny. I sometimes spend me Sunday watching Keeping up with the Kardashians all day and once I am done I start wondering how my life would be if I was them. Yet I then come to reality and say to myself is just a show, and it might even be scripted and is not based on reality.  What really makes me mad with these cast member in these shows is they become really wealthy after their done with their shows.  For example the members for the show Teen Mom I now see them in the covers of magazines and traveling all over the world. Makes me mad due to the fact that they have no education, acted like fools and relayed bad messages yet still they get awarded for it.

I understand the reason the TV channels decide to show reality TV shows instead of any documentary or any other show is because they know that if they show documentaries or anything else that could drop ratings and could make the company lose money. They are more focus on the money instead of how this problem could be affecting many people.  Reality show have been aired for a period of time now but I do believe it has grown and do think is going to keep growing. High school teens do get influenced by all the TV shows. The reason I say this is because I have drove by schools and I see young males with their hair spiked up like Pauly D from jersey shore. We can’t control what is being aired on TV but what I do believe is that we as adults should set an example for the teens and try to explain how TV show in the long run could affect their behaviors.
