thank u my name isSiyaaAngrass

Hello my name is Siya Angras and I strongly believe that reality tv shows do not do more harm than good.

Now I would like to state my 3 points.

1st assertion- Reality tv shows give people chances to shine and express their true talents.

Reasoning- Shows like America's Got Talent and American Idol allow normal people such as you or me to show off their talents. These allow people with unrecognized talents to gain fame and wealth when they never would have been able to. Some people would have never been famous without reality tv shows.

Evidence- As I said before there are tons of current singers who became famous and rich just because of American Idol, such as Kelly Clarkson, Adam Lambert, Kris Allen, Chris Daughtry, Clay Aiken etc. Without reality tv shows people like Kelly Clarkson would never be famous! They would just be plain,normal people.

2nd assertion- The show itself doesn’t do any harm, it’s how you parent your child.

Reasoning- Reality TV itself can't make the children addicted to themselves. Really, bad or negligent parenting is at fault if impressionable children are watching inappropriate shows--not the show itself. That's why most shows have ratings like 14+ for viewers minimum age. These shows are not meant for children. It is the parent’s' job to make sure that these children do not see inappropriate material.

Evidence- According to American Academy of Pediatrics policy issued in 2001, when it comes to choosing the best programs for your child, it noted that by watching certain carefully selected shows, children can, in fact, learn positive social behaviors, including cooperation, sharing, and good manners. "Children in the over-3 age group can learn songs, learn to count, and increase their vocabulary if they already have a good language base," says Miriam Bar-on, professor of pediatrics at Chicago's Loyola University Health System and chair of the organization's committee on public education.

3rd assertion- People can reflect on the bad actions and do what is right.

Reasoning- Many of the reality tv shows actually show bad things such as drinking, taking drugs, or swearing. However, they also show the consequences of doing these bad things. Children and even adults watching these shows can see what can happen after doing that, without experiencing it first hand. Judge,so what if these shows are not about math and science, they still are educational in the sense that they teach our younger generation right and wrong.

Evidence- The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy released a survey in 2010, in which 87 percent of teens who had watched MTV's 16 and Pregnant felt the show educated them about becoming a parent at such a young age. Some girls even say they take inspiration from these shows. 68% agree with the statement that the shows make me think I can achieve anything in life, while 62% said the shows have raised their awareness of social issues and causes.

Now I would like to refute my 3 points.

Judge, I agree there is are bad effects to reality tv shows but there are many good ways to prevent that.

Thank you,

My name is Siya Angras and I believe the opposition side has won this debate.
