Major Point With Reality Television
Klostermans reading on reality televison made a major point that real people are becoming archetypes of what they see on T.V. This is saying that people that are not on the reality televivison shows are going throught the same things as the people who are on the reality television shows. This is a big reason why the reality shows are so popular. Teen mom is a popular reality show and has been on for years. It is relatable to other teenage mother or people that got pregnant at a young age and went through the same struggles. Watching a show that we can relate to or have some intrest in due to our own lives is different than watching a show we have no background information on or cant relate to at all. Bing able to relate to something is way more interesting. Reality television shows will continue to be a big hit if they can relate to what is going on with real people.

I agree with you and can see how these shows relate to their audience and maybe that is why they are so popular. I never thought a show on teen pregnancy would be so popular though.
ReplyDeleteTeen mom was way bigger than I thought it was going to be. I do think it has a lot to do with the increase in teen pregnancy and that they can relate to the reality show in their own lives.
