In the article by Timothy Sexton "The Dangers of Reality of TV" he says that reality TV is sending the wrong message to people,I agree with Mr Sexton because i also think that Reality television has a big impact on people. It has changed many people around the world. Some are becoming rich and some are becoming poor, Instead of leaving in a "world of reality" people rather choose a "fantasy world" a world that is fake and full of lies.

In the article by Timothy sexto "The dangers of reality tv." He says that reality tv is sending the wrong message to the viewers by making us believe that the more people humiliate by acting stupid or in an ignorant way the more chances a person can have to become successful. The most dangerous message this shows are send to people who watch this shows is that education is not necessary. That's one of the reason why the television networks have created shows like survivor, jersey shore,the apprentice and many others. To make it easy for regular people to do stupid things and make fast money. In this cases "personality is more important then wisdom."

I can say that these shows influence people a lot. For example: one of my friends went and got a tattoo, got a haircut, just like the one that the situation from the show the jersey shore has. He was fascinated by this man. All my friend wanted to do is talk like him, dress like him, and mostly do everything that this man was doing in the show. When I told him that what he was doing is being a follower and not a leader, He got upset. all I was telling him is that if he wanted to pick up girls at the club or the bar, all he had to do is be himself, and to use his brain instead of doing all this crazy stuff that he was doing.

" Reality television " has become a huge success because the more viewers tune in to watch shows like "jersey shore" or "survivor" the more money the company will make from advertising companies. This is the main reason why they need people like "snooki" or have people eat bugs in "fear factor".
people that whatch this shows find it funny, interesting when a person in the show goes half naked and drunk into the ocean. That is one of the reasons why these Networks sing up this people for these shows, to have them look crazy and have them do stupid things and depending on the ratings from the show, make them "millionaires" without having to use theire brain or common sense or even worst without having to go to school.
