    In the passage “The Danger of Reality TV” brought by Buzzle.com, they state that the TV shows are projecting priorities on the competition, more value to the person’s image, and less importance to the education. I agreed that TV shows are telling to the youth that the physical is more important than the talent and the capability, and that the American dream is getting behind in their options.

  The participants in TV shows can gain a quickly popularity either if they are good looking or all the apposite. Normal looking people have to work harder to be well known. In 2009, The British TV Show “Idol”, got the world attention when Susan Boy sang the dream song. Together with her voice of angel was her uncommon appearance for a TV show’s person. Her unexpected performance according with her look, gave her a big popularity for a while. At the end, she did not won because the judges were not that fool to select her as the one.

  Young people can come with the conclusion that by being accepted in a reality show and taking the opportunity to become well known, they don’t need to go to college. Why should the go for years of hard work and on top of that to carry a debt  if there is a easier way to make it. Just fill up as much application as possible and show up to all the auditions around the nation, one of those days will be your day. I remember my friend from my first job, Virginia. I was a junior high school student and she was a freshman in college. She was  elected to a realty show called “La Casa the Cristal”(The Glass House). She was one of the semi-final, but did not win. What she got after the show was finished, was a job offer in an entertainment program; even though she was an accounting student. Being at the show changed her life dramatically, and she did not feel any need to continuing college.

  I think that the competitions that we are seeing in the programs are acceptable so far, what we have to be careful with it is the  risk that this messages are putting to our future teacher, doctors, lawyers , and etc.
