Beskrivelse
According to a CNN 2013 article on reality T.V. and youth, behavior portrayed on some reality television programs is inspiring real-life bullying amongst teens. Research by psychologists at Brigham Young University concluded that aggression in the brain is activated and motivated when youth watch reality television. This engaging edition looks at the incredibly popular, ever evolving, and divisive form of entertainment that is reality T.V. This book looks at what is defined as reality television and provides a brief history of the genre. It discusses why the format appeals to television producers and how it has been received by audiences. Criticisms of the genre are discussed and arguments that point to redeeming qualities of the shows are also examined. This volume includes discussion questions for each chapter and sources for further research on the topic.
