Reality television programs, which feature real people engaged in real activities rather than professional actors performing scripted scenes, are increasingly popular. These shows depict ordinary people competing in everything from singing and dancing to losing weight, or just living their everyday lives. Most people believe that the reality these shows portray is authentic, but they are being misled. How authentic can these shows be when producers design challenges for the participants and then editors alter filmed scenes? Do people benit from forms of entertainment that show so-called reality, or are such forms of entertainment harmful? A sample essay here - Reality television programs, which feature real people engaged in real activities rather than professional actors performing scripted scenes, are increasingly popular. These shows depict ordinary people competing in everything from singing and dancing to losing weight, or just living their everyday lives. Most people believe that the reality these shows portray is authentic, but they are being misled. How authentic can these shows be when producers design challenges for the participants and then editors alter filmed scenes?--Assignment: Do people benit from forms of entertainment that show so-called reality, or are such forms of entertainment harmful? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations. Little benit is derived from watching reality T.V. shows. Some people may consider these shows entertainment but they are actually very harmful to a person’s physical and mental well-being. The reality show “The Biggest Loser” presents everyday overweight people trying to lose weight. People watch the show to be entertained or in most cases—to learn how to lose weight. However, sitting in front of the T.V. is a lot different than getting up to exercise like the reality “stars”. Most Americans sit on their couch eating nachos while watching overweight people exercise across the screen. The reality show sucks people into a world that does not exist. It just makes people less of what they want to be—fat and unhealthy. (comment – this is logically weak here, since watching TV, although taking time, is part of the informing and learning process. Nothing wrong with taking time to be informed and learn.) Besides causing weight-gain, watching reality T.V. shows can harm people physically in terms of eyesight, while gaining weight, people lose their vision, partly because weight-gain contributes to this harmful side fect, and mostly because sitting a few feet in front of a bight screen for hours a week is a leading cause in vision-loss. Watching MTV’s “Real World: Life as a Blind Person” will not help people or their vision in any way; it will only cause more harm. (this is weak too – since every form of reading will lead to the same harm, but it is hard to argue reading is harmful because it hurts eye. This is a traditional issue of two sides of the coin) Mental harm is also caused by reality shows. For instance, a person who spends copious hours watching “American Idol” will never get the hour spent back to use for something usul as practicing their singing. If that person’s dream is to become a renowned singer, they must practice singing and take the required steps into making a studio album. Watching other people’s dreams come true will only cause physiological harm. That aspiring singer will be let down by all the successes on the show which may or may not be real, and never pursue their dream. For that person, it may seem impossible to reach their dreams because they have never even tried singing in front of anyone but their T.V. As a result, that person may become depresses, turn to illegal substances, and commit suicide. Al of this could happen just by watching petty reality T.V. shows. The percentage of people who take action due to reality shows is minuscule. Likewise, the “entertaining” reality shows cause more harm than benits.
