Reality Television Is No Good

This week I will be talking about a topic that a lot of people nowadays watch or look up to. Reality Television is something that most teenagers watch all the time. Not just teenagers but also adults find reality shows to be entertaining. I personally do not watch reality television but I have friends who do. I dislike the idea of reality shows because people look up to it and sometimes wish it was real for them. I dislike reality shows because it alters the world of a family or person who is trying to live their life. Not only that but we don’t give them space and privacy to live their own lives just like how we live our own and enjoy our privacies. How would you feel if you were in their shoes? Of course we don’t know how they feel because they don’t show their real feelings on this whole reality show thing, but I bet they hate it so much because they don’t have privacy.  I think people are being harmed from watching reality shows because we only see other people’s lives instead of paying attention to and living our own lives. There is no reason why I think that we would benefit from reality shows because everyone’s life is different but it should be respected and kept private for everyone. I avoid reality shows because I strongly believe that privacy should be kept private and I do think that watching reality shows is a “guilty pleasure” for people who watch it because they need to watch in order to have a laugh or just keep up to date with celebrities or whoever is in the reality show. Why so we watch reality shows? This is a question I ask myself many times because I still don’t know the real reason as to why people enjoy and watch reality shows. I’m slowly putting the puzzle pieces together though. I have learned that some people watch reality shows for their entertainment. Some people may be bored and don’t know what to do so they turn the TV on and watch reality shows to make them laugh or get them entertained. Some other people watch reality shows because they just want to see how a celebrity is doing or how the life of somebody else is. This may lead to many exposures of the reality star because then so many people will know what happens in their life and people may make fun of the reality star if something embarrassing has happened to them. With reality shows you never know the outcomes or the reactions of people because some may like it and some may not. Some may even hate the reality star and have anger towards them and start to insult them or start to secretly talk to them and make them feel uncomfortable. Now I ask you again, do you really think reality shows should still air and should we watch it? I highly disagree for our own good because we need to respect privacy and live our own lives the way we want to without being influenced by someone else’s.
