This article “The
Dangers of Reality TV” by Thomas Sexton explains on how reality TV is a
dangerous for us the young fans. How it could affect in our education since now
we are young and most of us like to get easy money and not worked hard for it. The
idea of not going to school which for some of them is a great idea. The article
thinks that by showing reality shows like Fear factor since we could get a lot
of money by just competing will change our mind of going to school. Since we do
not have to educate our self to participate on this particular show or any
other reality TV shows. However I cannot agree with this article because I
think that not all people in this world thinks the same that it would come to
an instant of affecting our education. All this TV shows are just entertainment
that something is better to watch then soap operas. Also some of this shows
could help us pursue or give our first step to a career specially who want to
be a singer, or actress, even modeling.
First of all Reality TV shows is not a
harmful for us young fans. We all live in a very big world were we all have
different ways of thinking and because of this they could not affect our
education. By watching “fear factor” would not change our way of thinking to go
to college and having a career. Yes this reality TV is a show, where by just
doing some several challenges people could win up to fifty thousand dollars,
somehow easy but not entirely since is a competition. I personally watch this
show and because sometimes I get the feeling of wanting to be there, it does
not change my thinking towards college, or to pursue a career for my future.
Fifty thousand dollars is a lot of money for one person specially someone
young, but this could only last probably five to ten years depending how you
waist you money. On the other hand a career could last your entire life time.
Even though we are so different to one another, a career is an important
subject for many. To some people it could affect the fact of watching reality
TV shows especially how you could get easy money but that affect would only be
for a moment. In reality any reality TV show like for example “fear factor”
never shows something or interpreted anything that could change our minds for
education.
Second reality TV shows are just entertainment, real things, and real life. I see reality TV shows as a way to entertain myself and to see also and make fun of how some people make a fool of them self, other than watching soup operas that is just all lie, it has the same concept were the main character fall in loves with each other, they fight by the middle of the show, but at the end is a fairytale were they get marry at the end and live happy ever after. In the other hand reality TV shows entertains you, it’s also sometimes the real life of some people, and you could see them in action on a daily biases, when they make mistakes, or fights with each other, real deal then in some shows we cannot see, Since they always cut that part so everything could be as perfect as they can.
Thirdly some reality TV shows could help us get a career for those who want to pursue their careers in acting or singing, or any other retaliated to TV. The passage instead that one of the shows call “American Idol” only shows a message of who far is more competent at what they do but lacks personality which the author says that they message is more likely to be that the image is more important than the substance. American Idol or any other show in Spanish or any language like for example “Protagonistas de Novelas” which is a show of also competition to be the winner an become an actress, this shows does not teach us that image is more important. This show actually helps those people competing, but other who are watching and their dreams are alike to become true to become an actress. They could be competing however at the same time they are learning how to become a better singer or actress, theirs mistakes, and us who are watching from home that might have the same dream, we could learn from their mistakes and learn little bet things from this professional people that are teaching them. It also sometimes helps people who financially reasons cannot afford an art school, but they have the chance to compete and if they win, or not they will still be recognize out there.
To conclude reality TV shows are not as dangerous as the article is trying to pursue as to think that way. In overall reality TV is just an entertainment source that could help us take our minds away of so much stress we all have. It could help us see other things than just soap operas. For some who as the dream of becoming famous, or an actress, singer, model, is a first step to their career in the future. Reality TV show is not harmful or either dangerous to us young fans.

Hi Lorena, my name is Kedeshia. I am a peer tutor in Prof. Coopers' ENG 220. It's clear what the article is about, I was able to have an idea based on what you've written. Your summary format is well put but minor improvements are needed. For starters, you should provide more details about what the article was about. Try devoting at least a paragraph in summarizing the article excluding your opinions and thoughts. Your conclusion could be longer. You've mentioned many ideas about your opinion as well as evidence to support these thoughts which were pretty strong. However, there are many grammatical errors that makes it hard to understand some of the statements you are trying to make. For example, you have to avoid repetition; your repeating words like "sometimes" and "reality T.V. shows", try replacing these words with something else. You have many run-on sentences and use too many commas. When you feel like using a comma, just add a period to avoid run-on or fragments. Be careful with your word forms and spelling, I encourage you to proofread to avoid these grammatical errors. Overall, you present an understanding of what a summary consist of and the evidence that's necessary. Just remember to proofread, your grammar use could have made this summary much stronger. Thanks for posting your blog.
