  Respond to ONE of the following two questions:   1.     Many social critics are saying that if “reality TV” is the entertainment that the American people desire, then America is in moral decline. They argue that the participants in these shows are a never-ending series of people whose behavior seems to say that they value prizes and notoriety more than their integrity. Based on your understanding of “reality TV” and of the assigned readings, what is the appeal of these programs?  Do they mark a “new low” in what Americans will do and will watch for entertainment, or are the criticisms an over-reaction to a harmless fad? In a well-developed essay, argue whether these shows are creating a loss in cultural or moral values. Use at least two of the assigned readings (which you may quote, paraphrase, or summarize) to develop your claim. Take care to integrate your sources into your essay effectively and document your use of all sources (including images) in appropriate MLA format. You do not need to include a Works Cited list. OR, 2.     One constant criticism of most television shows (including “reality TV” and news programs) is that they present a distorted picture of the world. For example, some groups are said to be underrepresented or incorrectly represented on television, maintaining stereotypes rather than true depictions. Moreover, programs claiming to be unbiased and objective appear to project partiality and slanted ideals to the viewing public. In a well-developed essay, argue whether this portrayal of “real” life on television has significant potential consequences for its viewing audience. Do the actions or opinions of people on screen have a negative or positive effect on people socially or emotionally? Use at least two of the assigned readings to develop claim. Take care to integrate your sources into your essay effectively, and to document your use of all sources in appropriate MLA format. You do not need to include a Works Cited list.
