N1~ Current News Issue


I totally agree with this writer. I don’t understand the fascination with all the new redneck reality shows lately. I personally find them pointless just like the writer said. I think it’s ridiculous how people can act so dumb on television and get their own show for it and become so famous for it. I personally don’t see the big change between Jersey Shore and Buckwild. They have many similarities. They are dumb, pointless and stupid and set really bad examples for some of the younger viewers. This can lead to a distraction of the viewer’s minds and the reality of the life they are living.  How I see this issue is that being dumb is supported and it seems to be becoming more acceptable in today’s modern society. This is showing that you can be successful in life even if you don’t have any talent or educational background. If this phase continues our nation will be downgraded and not see the importance of education.  Luckily it is predicted that this will be a short fad and the ratings will slowly decrease as time goes on. The writer points this out by stating that past trends, like the Kardashians, will start to fade and will not continue for very long. What scares me the most is that these trends seem to be getting worse and worse as time goes on and they will come up with a new concept that can entertain as well teach our nation’s young minds. Not only during this redneck phase but during Jersey Shore and other television series they promoted bad behavior. This includes drinking, and other inappropriate behaviors and actions. I hope this phase will end soon and producers will come up with many more educational, helpful, and mind challenging concepts for reality television that will create a more positive influence on our nation.
