Shows Now

     Game shows and reality television promotes easy money and embracing the worse side of yourself. By running an obstacle course or fighting with someone on television, money is made without needing an education or working. Easy money is something that many of us want now. We all want to do nothing but make a lot of money. Even jumping from slippery courses is better than sitting in a classroom and preparing yourself for a job. It is about getting money fast and now. The wait isn't necessary when you have all these simple ways to make money on television. With shows such as American Idol or X Factor promotes making money of of your talent instead of going to school. It is fine to make moe y off of what you can do but education should be more of a primary focus and can enhance your talent to be more advanced than it is now. These shows influence making money is the easiest ways possible by using our talents, winning a game, or doing really nothing at all. It promotes a lack of excitement for going to school and making money by working at a job that you love. Instead it promotes to go on televisions and embarrass yourself or move on to not be as successful as you would hope. Shows such as Bad Girls Club really promote becoming famous by fighting and making a girls reputation sink terribly. It makes girls feel that they can do all that these girls do and it is okay. It is okay to curse like a sailor and to fight whoever doesn't feel the same that you do. It lets them feel that they need to party and not have much care about their future. Television now with these type of shows doesn't help our younger generation at all. It doesn't teach them anything beneficial at all. 

      Also, by making these shows entertainment, it makes it okay to those who watch it. So when a fight breaks out at school, they think it is fine and encourage the fight instead of doing the appropriate thing of getting a teacher. People watch someone slip and fall, they laugh instead of help them up. It is making our generation incapable of doing the right thing. It makes us more violent and accustomed to being lazy in a way. Though doing insane stunts isn't really being lazy, it is taking the easy way out which is in turn being lazy. These shows do not help our generation to strive but it is helping them to not work as hard in school and to be the next doctors, lawyers, or other jobs that can make them more successful in life than what these television shows promote.
