reality novelas?.....oh reality shows.

REALITY SHOWS

            As a Mexican descendent, the females in my family were always amused by drama.  This so called drama for them was “novelas”, in other words Spanish soap operas.  These “novelas” which I detested with a passion always appeared around 8pm and ended at 10 pm.  Now a day, reality shows are very similar to those “novelas” full drama and scripted scenes. I personally do not watch reality shows due to the lack of realism, ironic right? For something called a “reality” show, do not get me wrong, I am not a lifeless person that does not enjoy simple pleasures in life but it at times when I happen to turn on the television and a reality show is rolling; is hilarious for its stupidity and unnecessary acts that grab the attention of the audience, therefore thinking people watch it for that same reason. In addition, to the lack of realism, it itself is just boring, like I said I had my share of drama as a boy growing with these so called “novelas” and now as a young adult have my fair share of drama mainly with the women in my life. Actual actions in this life are what interest me and spice up my way living, one saying I go by is “drama free is the way to be” and I as an individual could not agree any more.

            To think that a reality show is harming or benefiting our society is absurd but in influencing certain groups of them is another story. The “novelas”, a like reality shows, in my family harshly influenced the females by somehow making them think that in life everything must have a twist or turn it could never be certain which I agree ONLY in the “certain” aspect of it.  Nothing is really certain in life but as reality shows may have a similar affect to other families by subconsciously influencing them to think that acts and habits that they promote are ok for those “certain groups” to take and reform in there own moral beliefs may be the only problem. I say certain groups because, well lets just say that not the “whole” population is weak minded to be overtaken and altered by inappropriate showings. Avoiding these shows, having hobbies and education is the only way to keep ones mind out of the gutter. It will open as well as broaden horizons in ones mind by doing so.

            In conclusion, Reality shows can be nonsense to some, comedy to others and inappropriate showings for most.  It really just falls on the individual to pick and choose what they want to watch and what they want to take from it. We all grow, we all learn, we all explore, we all experience, all those factors are what really make the individual. So, by thinking that reality shows may harm or benefit society is absurd but by influence, it may be one factor to worry about.  Yet, stressing the only fact that has done any good for me is the quote “drama free it the way to be”.
