Reality
Reality shows are fascinating. Watching people ride camels, sky dive, and eat strange moving creatures really gives a window into the human psyche. Unfortunately editing makes me suspicious of how much of human nature we actually witness, and how much has been guided. Still they do assist in studying behaviors, even simply the behaviors resulting from being on television. Fascinating. What is reality anyway? Just a perception? Or is it perspective?

Reality TV? No more, NO MORE!!!!!! Sorry, I just really wanted to say that. Seriously, I think the purpose is that they don't have to pay any real actors to do anything. It's like $1,000,000! Dude, they had to spend $6,000,000/episode for Friends times say, 24 episodes a season. That's a sh*-load of money, it's all a conspiracy to eliminate the fine arts! As for how much of the human nature we are being shown, I think the purpose is to make us all feel abnormal. I personally associate with Samantha from 'Sex and the City', or Brenda from 'Six Feet Under', or even Chandler from 'Friends', or Karen from 'Will & Grace' - more than anyone on reality programs! My life is a TV show and I am an extreme character! It seems to me that ordinary people vying for $1,000,000 only brings out the worst in humanity and who needs that? But you watch your funny shows and I will watch mine. I wasn't trying to be argumentative, I am just sick of homework and felt like responding to somebody's post...
