Television

Television is democratic. Audience is the way to express your vote, to give your opinion, to help channel to make their own programme schedules. So if reality shows still live, it means that people love them. No doubt about this. One of the main advantages of forbidding reality shows is the fact that television channels have more free time to be filled up with cultural programs, like documentaries. With this forced solution, television, as an instrument to educate people, can recuperate his role. What is more, reality shows create false aspirations in the mass, people could watch them as a way to escape from their poor real life, and, for example pushing daughter to prostitution in change of a place in the show. However, there are disadvantages of forbidding reality shows. Many people will be lost their main themes of discussion. How do they occupy their coffee times during the work days? Moreover, this will go against democracy, people desire reality shows, they are exciting and they go inside people’s privacy. So this increases curiosity, perversion and thriller, from this point of view it seems impossible to stop reality. All things considered, “show must go on”, so it will be impossible to forbid reality shows. The only way to remove them from television, it’s to wait till people will get totally bored by them. With my growing worry documentaries have to wait an indeterminate while to have a central role in the programme schedules.
