The Dangers of Reality TV

In the TV, people like to show their reality things to other people. Some people like it becuase they can learn other people's experiences to avoid the same mistake. Some people don't like it because they easy to copy and then forgot what do they want.
According to Timothy Sexton in "The Dangers of Reality TV" Reality TV adds some unsound information. Reality TV makes people believe that competition helps people to success and that the good image is more important than people's ability. Reality TV is making people think that education is unnecessary. Those messages are harmful to young minds. I agree with the author that reality TV is dangerous for people because there is much information that takes people to lose themselves and the information is so much that it becomes harmful.
In the TV, there are ads, news, and shows that talk about everything, and they make people think they want more and more. Although the things that people want can improve their lives and make them consume, they can put pressure on people. For example my uncle is a worker who watched business shows on TV. The more he looked at  successful people, he  thought he could do the same as those succusseful people who  through opportunities and hard work,  they got susseccful. Then, he gave up his office job to be a businessman. But he didn't know how to be a businessman that isnot really good for him. He thought that he looked at more shows and understand other people to be successful ways. So he did his business very biger. At last, he lost. However, he didn't know what was he wanted.
I think everything has their quantity. When people look more and more reality TV, they will remember the reality TV informations, and use it in the life and society. When people face more Choices, they maybe choice wrong way because of reality TV information to change the life. For example, When I come the United States, I didn;t understand anything. My grandma recommended me to go Long Island Business Institute because there are more ads in TV. But some father friends told me to take English class, or go to high school first. In their disputing, I was profase in more time. Therefore, people shoud through right way to got more right information.
In conclusion, reality TV has more unsound information. Prople should learn to differentiate things right and wrong, and understand what they want that help people to get beautiful life.

  1. Hello, my name is Davon I am a student here at LaGuardia Community College; I have read your blog/ essay on Timothy Sextons', "The Dangers of Reality TV". In your opening paragraph you mention that you agree with Mr. Sexton that there are some dangers of reality television. As I moved forward in your essay it seems that you loss the central focus on the topic yet demonstrate another topic based on television. The main topic discusses the reality tv but on the other hand you begin to discuss television as a whole being dangerous to people. I think maybe you got a little confused on what reality tv is, for instance you start your second paragraph with "In the TV, there are ads, news, and shows that talk about everything". Yes on tv there are ads which is known as commercials, news and shows yet reality tv are those shows such as Jersey Shore, MTV's The Real World, Survivor, Big Brother and Apprentice. Reality Tv is a genre of television programming that presents purportedly unscripted dramatic or humorous situations, documents actual events, and usually features ordinary people instead of professional actors, sometimes in a contest or other situation where a prize is awarded. If the paper topic was the influence that tv have on people your supporting ideas would work with the that topic. When did that you had knowledge and experience that integrated into your paper. The structure of your paper has no clear beginning, middle or end; I would separate each idea to form a new paragraph. There were some grammatical errors that was presented in your essay, from my understanding you can use a dictionary when you take the CATW that would be highly recommended.
