" THE DANGER OF REALITY TV"

The author of the passage Timothy Sexton thinks that Reality TV is dangerous to the minds of young viewers because makes viewers believe that education is not necessary to be successful in their lives.

Promoters of reality television want to send the message that to win in any competition is the key to success, showing how image is more important than intelligence. Therefore in this Capitalist system the people in power abhors competition that is why the industry in North America is merging with others in order to monopoly and capture the most of the consumers.

The Reality TV does have to be call reality show because does have much reality, instead they are more acting, therefore they giving more importance to the image and fashion than the skills, ability or a real gift that some people has. On the passage “The Danger of Reality TV” by Sexton show us the wrong message the Reality TV is sending to the young audience in special because they will have the wrong idea than with just humiliate oneself or making the ridiculous in national television and having no respect of them self can make more money than people who strive to get their education and reach their degree.I have a friend that has skill to become a professional soccer player and many other agree and help him to achieve his dreams but unfortunately he had a car accident and after that  he could play soccer at the professional level then he realize that to succeed in life he need to have a degree and went back to school and get a education, therefore I believe that in order to success in life we have to get  education because in reality life is not easy as is presented on Reality TV.

Analyzing why those who hold power do not want the young people in particular think that education is necessary for an achieve their dreams, instead they trying to  brainwash others for their own benefit, and continue in power.
