Reaility TV and Narcissism
Reaility TV and Narcissism
Okay... I made a comment the other day about believing that this reality junk tv is part of the problem we're having with narcissism. Then, I'm driving into work this morning listening to GMA on the radio... and they do a story on a new show called "Shark Tank" all about a bunch of people trying to get rich people to give them all kinds of money for their brilliant ideas.
Now, we're an entrepreneurial nation... nothing wrong with going after your dreams and starting businesses, etc.
But I think the title alone "Shark Tank" and the comments I was hearing from the clips... bunch of obnoxious NARCISSISTS. So that's my point. We're doing television shows about self-involved, self-absorbed, manipulative jerks everywhere you turn. A whole generation is being groomed to behave in exactly this way. I would love to find groups or start groups to start fighting against this.
I am a very liberal minded, left-winged, compassionate person (not trying to ruffle any political feathers here) and I do not on any level believe in censorship. However, I do believe in media respnnsibility and understanding the power they possess with an entire nation of minds and hearts. There should be more education on this from a cultural perspective also. It's all about looks, money and power... and how much you can "stick it" to somebody.
That's my personal rant. Sorry about that and hope I'm not offending anybody.
Take a look at the soap
