My next question is how can society change this negative influence on reality tv and it's affect on women and what steps are necessary to really change the way we expect reality shows to be? My first thoughts on this question were that we as a generation need to start expecting more out of what we encounter. I feel that we need to conscious of what programs have substance and can make a positive influence on our behavior, and to be able to recognize what is bad for us. Women in particulate seem to be so easily influenced as well as one to let media have such an impact on their behavior, they really need to be able to differentiate between what is real in reality TV and what harms them.
This source I picked out talks about the change in cable television. It doesn't really focus on reality television in particular. It says how television is becoming more censored and how it is changing it's dynamic, escaping extreme vulgarity and too much sex display (Jost). This source makes me want to really rework my question because it's not really being answered, even compared to the other sources I've searched.
Compared to my other source, I feel the previous one would have answered this question a lot better. I think implementing shows such as "I Am Cait" and also shows that are very positive and uplifting like "Extreme Makeover" would change the outlook on reality television a lot. If shows were created for entertainment why not be a positive entertainment. A step to change the negative influence would be to stop creating shows that have unrealistic image of women, and that stops over glamorizing and sexualizing them.
After researching these sources, I feel as though I need to change my initial thesis statements. This is because I continue to veer away from the question at hand and my tends to look subpar of what it could be.
