Fake television

The media has changed so much over the years, and reality television is one of the reasons why people question if what they are watching is real? I honestly believe that media and reality shows effect our society. Nowadays all you see on t.v is sex, fighting, and drinking and kids are watching that and thinking it is okay. I believe mostly everything that is shown on television is fake, based on what happens behind the scenes. There are some shows that display the American Dream, but I believe there is a twist to them. Everything that is on television is reality shows, and they all betray the same issues, and that is drugs, and fighting . All these show have the same drama with cursing, but at the same time people like to watch it. I admit I like to watch shows with drama, however I like when shows betray love, and family.

Although I do not believe reality shows are real,but they do have some particular issues that are real. One of my favorite reality shows was the “Hills” on MTV, because it displayed a girl's journey to the city and follows her dream. Like any other reality show there was drama, but my favorite character was Lauren Conrad. She was a down to earth girl, and even though some of the issues were fake she remained true to herself. I admire that so much, she did interviews and explain that MTV wanted her to do certain things, and she refused. They got upset. Laruen eventually quit the show and it was not successful, but she stayed true to herself. So many shows today have no learning lesson; for example if something serious happens on a reality show on MTV they all get into it . I believe they should show the true struggle of what it is to be in America, and none of this Real World or Teen Mom. My personal opionion I do not like those shows they are just showing that all America wants to do is party, and young girls getting pregnet. I refused to let my children when I have some be involved with this, because this is not how we should see ourselves as.

On the other hand there are some respectful, and exciting shows that a family can watch. The Voice is a fantastic show to see with your family it shows true life people and what they are going through. Life is all about struggle, and celebrities make it seem easy; but by having shows that display hardwork and heart is the real deal. I know that now more t.v stations are having more traditional shows, and showing moral lessons. I believe we all need to change what is out there for the sake of children in the future. I honeslty miss how the shows used to be when I was a child, because when I was a kid Disney Channel taught so many lessons throughout all their shows. However, it is different now I do not see those actions taking place, and it is a shame.
