Reality Television
Reality television i believe relates to the people because the people who watch it, have something that has happened or do stuff that happens in the show. They feel that they have experienced it so they become interested, which makes them watch it, and watch it more often. The biggest effect i have noticed from people watching reality television is the styles of clothing that people wear. They seem to change what they wear to what they see on television, or try to act or look like the people that they see on television. The reason that i believe reality television is so popular is because it does not just focus the attention to one group that it is trying to draw in, it can relate to many people and have problems or situations that can relate to many people, not just one type of group for example: they do not just pull in one certain type of race, or athletic group, or people who like weird things. There are many different types of archetypes that people see on reality television. The main one i have seen, based on the shows that i watch are a mid twenties groups. People who like to party, there's always one person who thinks that they are in charge of everything and everyone. A person who is always a follower, and girls who are always bitchy. There is always one girl who just ruins the day for everyone continuously. The bitchy one usually leaves the show early, because no one likes them, or gets voted off early. There are many more, but those are the main ones that i see when i watch reality television shows like Jersey Shore or Bad Girls Club, etc.

Do you think there's a different standard being applied to the "bitchy" girls as opposed to the "bitchy" guys? I don't have any numbers to back this up, but it seems like the guys who are rather nasty have a better success rate than the comparable girls do on things like "Survivor."
ReplyDeleteI do think there are diffrent standards for "bitchy" woman. though i am not aware of the numbers, but i have noticed that if a man complains people are more willing to fix whatever the situation is compared to if the woman were to complain, which would make them appear to be "bitchy".
ReplyDeletenew thought though this has nothing to do with the above.. do you think pets critique themselves like humans do when they see a commercial or ad that has something with items that they use or would want? (spelling may be a little off)
