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 benefit 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 benefit 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 benefit 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.)
