According to the passage "The dangers of reality t.v" the author mention how harmful is the reality t.v in our lives. There are many reasons of why these shows are affecting us as a society, "the importance of competition, the value of image over ability and the obsolesceence of education" are the main points that the author states and i agree because reality t.v uses those messages to make us think that is the way to success in life.
Nowadays reality tv is everywhere, actors making money, producers making money while us, the viewers are watching and learning things that we belief are true or we think is the way of doing it to success in life. For instance, the importance of competition is not the only key to success, there different ways to succed in life such as finishing college, getting a good job, having a family and doing the right things; for example, my father is a person and good sample to know that not only competition is god to success. He studied, then he finished and work hard to have what he always wanted, a family and a place where he feels secure. Now, he is retired and enjoying the rest of his life without being in competitions.
Another thing that reality tv uses and it is wrong is the image over the ability. There is no way that you can success in life only because your image. However, reality shows make you belief that without a good image you will never be a successful person. The truth is that good image, bad image, good ability, bad ability you can still being a successful person if you propose to yourself what you wanted to be and reach the goal with effort.
The last thing that i could say is the most harmful message that reality tv give us as spectators is that education is not necessary to reach the american dream. That is the worst thing that they could ever show or say it because the education is an important manner that everybody needs to succed in life. For example, i have a cousin who always dream of being in those reality shows because he says once he makes moneuy there is no need to go to school or work, that's how powerful these reality tv shows are, they are making children change their minds from good thoughts to the wrong thoughts.
In conclusion i believe that reality tv shows are not only sending bad messages to us but also they are making children change their minds in different ways and what they don't know is that children are the future of the world.What they should be showing is how to become more educated or show the different ways to succed in life with real events or examples.
