XXXXXXXX 1 XXXX XXXXXX Professor Rob Harrill English 102 12 February 2015 Reality TV and Life Imitating Art: A Research Proposal In this research paper I will explore reality television and the effects it has on our society. I will look at how reality TV plays on cultural stereotypes, glamorizes serious diseases, portrays alcohol and drug use, and frames governmental and social institutions, like law enforcement and our court system. My research question is a follows: In what ways does reality television programming set standards and expectations for members of U.S. society? In class we have been covering various avenues of reality television; news, music, and PR are some examples of topics we have covered. The similarity between all the topics is how it affects our society. I am continuing this path by exploring how reality shows effect our society. I have had a lot of interest in reality shows, the popularity they have received, the rate at which they have grown, and how it affecting the viewers watching them. Society discuss how impressionable adolescents are and a lot of focus is put on how certain entertainment avenues affect adolescent’s self-image. However, as adults we like to think we aren’t impressionable but I believe that these reality television shows do have an altering effect on us as well. I would like to explore in my research paper from adolescents to adults the varying affects we see and what the repercussions, positive or negative, may be. I will begin my research by identifying papers that have been done in the past on reality television. If I am able I will try and pull content from biographies done by those who have been on a reality television. I also plan to interview at least 3 sources on reality television and how this XXXXXXXX 2 as altered their life or changed their perception. I think it will be important as I go to narrow down on what positive and negative effects I want to cover. Reality TV is such a broad market I will also need to possibly narrow down on what type of reality shows I cover. Currently I am looking to find evidence for reality shows that follow the “life” of your daily person, the do it your self-home shows, and perhaps the reality shows about fitness or talent. Below is a breakdown of my proposed schedule and plan of attack.
