Survivor Series

Rock Bottom I always say whenever I am in trouble I think that I am in “rock bottom”. Like when I have a bad grade, have a bad day at work, or when I get upset at my parents, I want to relate myself to rock bottom. But, if I look at my position from a different view, I should be lucky I have the Tennessee Promise scholarship to keep me in school, I should be happy that I am employed, and I should be blessed enough to have parents to even become upset about. I realize those little hardships is nowhere near rock bottom. Instead, rock bottom is when you are having horrible financial situations, go through extremely traumatic experiences, or when your health is exceptionally poor. First, understand what is not rock bottom. I work at the bowling alley in Franklin and I only make minimum wage. Some people may think that is a bad salary to have, but I am a college student living with my parents. I only have to take care of me for now so that cannot be rock bottom. In my mental state I recently broke up with a girl that cheated on me at prom. Yes I felt a little depressed and lonely about it, but we only dated for a few months. I know several good people that were married for over twenty years only to go through a divorce because their spouse cheated on them. When I look at the people that were cheated on after staying faithful to their spouse for over twenty years; I can only feel like they hit real rock bottom. For me, breaking up with a girl you only dated for a few months…

After 33 seasons, we have seen the Television Series Survivor become the Grandfather of reality television in the United States.

The concept of 16 castaways being stranded on a deserted island,…

Reality television is known for multiple stereotypes that surround it and most of the shows go along with them. These stereotypes include but are not limited to; being confined into one specific space or location, a certain of number people from multiple demographics and backgrounds, and having some type of motivator, usually monetary. The reality show, “Big Brother” follows all of these stereotypes but also brings a type of relevance to its viewers. Following the guidelines from the novel,…

Another negative influence should be emphasized here. Materialism stimulated by some reality shows threats adolescents’ concept of money，leading them to be greedy. Many reality TV shows have set up huge bonuses to encourage contestants. As a consequence, to get bonuses seems to be the only goal for them to participate in the programme. For example, the ultimate winner of Big Brother (a popular reality show in the UK) won a £70,000 prize in 2000, and Survivor ( an American reality show) arranged…

While she talks about bullying in her article she only leads towards women. Well actually her whole article is only about women but I feel as though it is also true to men. A lot of reality shows now a days are gender neutral and they have both male and female characters. Take Survivor for an example, those men and women are out they’re fighting each other and backstabbing each other in order to win the game. It shows people that in order to make it in the world, you need to do what they are…

and “All American Muslim” shows life as a Muslim in the United States. Shows similar to these contain the potential to break certain stereotypes and end discrimination; however, the over dramatization that takes place encourages the stereotypes rather than diminishing them. Often times shows do this through manipulative editing and selective casting. Producer of “Dancing With The Stars” and various other popular shows, Troy DeVolld, did a series of interviews to reveal what many reality TV…

Though eventually, a change in attitude and behavior is usually noticed in these people because they go from ordinary to reality stars within a matter of no time. This genre of TV may present itself in two ways: one as harmless and humorous entertainment which people can choose whether or not to watch; or two, as a negative effect on…

Are the scenarios that we perceive on reality television really a realistic display of most people’s reality? Often time’s people are being fooled into thinking that their lives can form to fit those of the actors seen on television, when in fact those people and their lives are only an act put on display for the enjoyment of others. The minds of many are being overtaken by false views of society due to hours spent in front of a television watching shows that are supposed to represent reality.…

I Choice the TV shows America’s Got Talent and Chicago Fire because they are definitely not like each other.

These two shows are on my list because first of all, I love America’s Got Talent because there is always something new that you will…
