1. Reality TV should NOT be banned! People think reality TV is all violence it may be but it is good because it shows what people should and shouldn't act like. On the other hand reality TV can be very educational there can be choices that people can look and think about,like jobs,what your future job can look like, what you need to practice before going to experience what you job can or could look like.
2. Allows people to show their talents Reality TV allows talented young or old people to show the world their amazing abilities. In many reality TV shows, people are competing for a prize - the prize being the opportunity to pursue their dreams. For example, in the X Factor, the prize is a recording contract with a music studio. Reality TV helps the undiscovered become discovered.
3. It's inspirational shows Reality TV shows can be inspirational in many ways. For example, a reality TV show that expresses inspiration is America’s Next Top Model. Even though not every girl can win, many women have gone off and succeeded in life after with the help of that show, for example, Tocarra Jones did. All of you might be think that the girls in America’s Next Top Model are catchy but then again in this case the girls are in theirselves and have to battle against others to become a winner. According Radford says that the majority of viewers that watch reality TV shows are more likely to inspire leadership.
4. Reality tv shows are real, no script
Reality shows are not worse or harm. As we know that it just for entertain others and also reality shows are funnier rather than another program, such as scripted shows that the actor / actress have trained and learnt before about what they say when they are perform. It’s really contrast with reality shows because these programs are more authentic. The actor / actress aren’t memorize the line which they say before, so they do in spontaneous and also some reality shows programs, show the fact about life and we can learn from

    Everyone watches reality TV shows for the basic purpose of entertainment, right? There has been a controversial debate about whether or not entertainment, such as reality shows, will “ruin” society. Neal Gabler wrote a book titled Life the Movie: How Entertainment Conquered Reality stating that yes, society will indeed ruin society and I agree with this statement. Most of the reality TV programs on the air promote bad behavior and untrue stereotypes. Skins is a reality show based mainly off of stereotypes. 16 & Pregnant falsely projects the idea of what teen motherhood is really like. Jersey Shore completely promotes ghastly behavior, appalling habits, and an inappropriate image of what America is like.…

It’s crazy what they do on those shows, most of the episodes on Jersey Shore the cast drinks so much that they black out or Chef Ramsey cusses out one of the contestant’s family because they didn’t cook the fish properly. The negative aspects exceed the positive one vastly. According to Google the definition of a reality TV show is “a genre of television programming that presents purportedly unscripted dramatic or humorous situations” (Google). The truth is that most of these shows are rehearsed and scripted which makes it even worse because we should know that its not actually reality TV it’s more like unreality TV These shows are well known for harmfully influencing our behaviour, our minds and give us a shallow prospective on life. It’s outrageous how unreal these shows are, how they lower society’s values and how it has such a huge impact on us. Shows that portray any kind of extreme negative behaviour should not be allowed on TV. Instead people should watch educational shows or game shows.…

    Out of many TV shows, there is an extensive number of reality TV shows. For example, the most common are American Idol, The Bachelor, and Big Brother.

    To begin, reality television shows are detrimental to society because they influence bad behavior among teenagers. These programs often show young individuals that break the law, drink alcohol, are disrespectful to people around them, and are in bad situations. The last part of the brain to develop is the part that distinguishes was is right to what is wrong. Therefore, many young viewers are influenced by these individuals and look up to them. Some individuals are such big fans of the stars in some of these shows that they mimic them. The popular saying “monkey see, monkey do” definitely applies to this controversy. These shows make it seem as if everyone is acting in the way that the characters in the show act.

Some experts believe that this could lead to many more irresponsible individuals. America’s society is weakening because of the harmful affects reality television programs have on teenagers.…
