Learning from Reality TV
“In the news today….”
I have not consistently watched an evening news program in years. The bad news deeply affects me. Of course, the news is supposed to report bad news; I don’t think anyone would watch if it were all good news. We are not that kind of society. What’s my proof? The ever present reality show. Some reality shows perpetually promote the worst parts of people. I will admit that when the first Real World aired on MTV, I was glued. I found the series to be fascinating. We could actually watch a group of diverse people try to figure out themselves while living with other people from diverse backgrounds. The angst of being a 20 something while watching 20 somethings was confirmation of the confusion I felt and a glimpse of what was to come. Alas, all good things come to an end.
