Reality TV questions

1) I believe that reality Tv is actually more entertaining than dramas or documentaries are shown on television.The first reason I believe so is that I think that reality tv is more realistic than dramas while for documentaries they are too factual making them boring for us as they are not very entertaining while in reality Tv it tries to be realistic as possible making them relatable to us making them entertaining more us as if we relate we would be entertained as how they may be having the same experience as us and watching their behavior in a realistic experience rather than watching something that is factual and only benefits us knowledge wise but not entertainment ways unlike tv shows. A second reason why reality TV is more fun than documentaries is that they would be more interesting as you know that it is not fake like dramas but even though it might be controlled to a certain extent to us it is watching another person life which would be more entertaining than seeing things that are trying to educate you.Other than that people usually enjoy knowing about other peoples lives and as humans we enjoy gossip so reality tv is something that is quite close to gossip as it involves you in another person's life which us as people of the society find fun since it is in some sort telling us about other peoples lives which is close to gossip as t is about other people.The last reason is something that I find funny would be seeing funny moments that could be embarrassing for the person which most of the time is only available on the fictional drama of reality TV.To conclude, I think it more entertaining to watch reality TV than documentaries as it is more entertaining than learning through facts and images. and also as people usually watch TV for fun and not actually for learning as we have more than enough resources for that, however, it still depends on the person's age and interests as sometimes people would prefer learning than being entertained.

2)I think some there are many ethical and moral issues that could occur on a reality TV show like Big brother.One of these issues could be that how they are filmed 24 hours a day could be exceeding their privacy not allowing the people to act comfortably and they might not be able to perform their private and personal things.A second moral or ethical issue could be that reality TV actually forces unsuspecting people to humiliate themselves publically towards many people just to gain more earning for money form the show.In reality TV they are essentially telling people to suffer inform of the whole world just for the benefit of the people that are responsible and not giving the person any benefit but just making them horribly embarrass themselves worldwide which is quite morally wrong but also ethically.Other than that a third ethical and moral issue that occurs in reality TV is that usually people that volunteer for reality TV shows usually signs a release before going into the show.Most of the time on tv shows when the volunteers sing the Delaware’s the realizes don’t necessarily say the exact serials of what will happen in their experience in the reality Tv show.Simeukes companies do tell the whole truth but sometimes other companies don’t necessarily say what happens fully as ty want more people to volunteer so that they succeed in the show.The reason they do that is that if they put every single detail and say it to the volunteer they know that the volunteer won’t necessarily agree to it due to how they would t want to humiliate themselves.And that is the ethical and moral problem as companies don’t tell their volunteers at the beginning not allowing the volunteers to know the truth about their job.That then makes the volunteer naive about what they are doing and then the producers add in whatever they want according to their desire so that the gain according to what they produce as their reality tv show.

3)Different contestants may have different opinions, however, there are some main reasons for why contestants would want to quit the TV show would due to many things.One reason that they may quit would be  that they don't feel like  they have their own privacy in the house and they feel that they are exposed for the whole time causing them t feel uncomfortable at their stay at the house which then might cause them to quit due to them feeling uncomfortable due to the extra exposure and the lack of privacy.A second reason why they might want to quit would be that they may feel furious maybe after staying some time in the TV show, the reason they may feel angry and furious would be that they don't trust the producers since when the volunteers signed the release before they were in the TV show maybe not the same thing happened in the period of time they worked in as was said in the release that they sih=gned causing them not only to feel uncomfortable but also lose their trust in the company causing them to also feel slightly unsafe causing them to feel a little worried when they are there causing them to sue this as a reason to quit the TV show of reality TV.A third possible reason for someone in a Realy TV show to quit could be that they feel like they would rather not humiliate themselves in front of people as they know that by humiliating themselves they would be embarrassing themselves in front of many people as they are on television.Maybe some of them would then decided that they would rather not get money but keep their reputation secure and not embarrass themselves worldwide.HOwever, sometimes it depends on the time of person whether they care about their reputation or not or they would rather get money and become famous with a humiliating reputation than not be famous and get a regular job and not having a humiliating reputation within the population that watches the reality Tv show worldwide.

4)I believe that reality Tv shows are not actually real at all however, there may be some parts of it may be true however, most of the things that are in the show are done by producers and are not actually real.The first and the main reason that I think That Tv is actually not very real strat form the volunteers.It was the ad that when the volunteers enter for the job they sign a release and most of the time what is said in the release isn't actually what is dine in the TV show.That is the main reason as they don't want their volunteers t not want to enter it so they try and not tell them the real truth about reality TV and the show they are doing.A second also main reason for why I think that reality TV isn't actually real is that according to my research most of the producers take separate videos and put them back together so that they create a situation between two characters or so that they create a story or most that the TV show could have to make it attractive to the audience and make it more adventurous or as they say even dramatic most of the time.Other than that they also do a lot of editing to not show how the show really is, another reason they do this is to create dilemmas to make the show more attention-grabbing as most if we as people get attracted to arguments or issues which the producers think will then attract us to watch their TV show.To conclude I believe that reality TV is not very true but may be slightly true, and even though it is not scripted producers still edit it into something that is not really so that it attracts the audience.
