Bye-Bye Education
In the article " The Dangers of Reality TV", Timothy Sexton gives us reasons why reality television is bad. One of the reasons that I feel is most important is the obsolescence of education. I agree in the sense of it not being recognized as much in the idea of becoming successful in life. I also disagree, because it is not an immediate answer when a child is asked about their ideas on how to become successful.
Looking Back on society, education was the key to becoming prosperous.Young children's main goal was graduating from college and beginning their career. When comparing it to our youth now, the dangerous message reality shows put out is that education is completely unnecessary to gain success. These reality shows not only give children, but adults the idea to turn away from education.
I believe these shows also give self-esteem issues when coming education. By watching reality shows, they subconsciously raise hopes by putting some type of reward and disguising it as success. This gives people the excuse "school is a waste of time" and " why go to school and face the difficulties of learning when I could just get on a reality show and humiliate myself for money? " Again giving the thought of success and wealthiness with little effort.
In conclusion, education should be taken more seriously instead of being pushed aside. Instead of being the next contestant or cast member of a so called "reality show" earning fast money , people should concentrate more on their education and knowledge to get them far in life.

ReplyDeleteHi Alyssa, I really like your essay and the title. Your claim is that people think education is no longer necessary to become successful in life. One of your reason is watching Reality shows is not helpful as going to college to become successful. However i think you should have evidence to support your claim.
ReplyDeleteHi Alyssa, I can relate to where you are coming from with "Reality TV sending a negative message". I wish you would have elaborated more on your claim, to really reach your audience attention. If your claim was more clear and had more information then your reasons and evidence would fall into place as well. Overall I did like your essay; just make sure in the future you make a bold statement in your claim and learn how to elaborate more on it.
