All eight members of the cast consist of young Italian “Guido’s” who drink alcohol uncontrollably, party, have sex, and fight. The show began in 2009 and since its release it has become one of the most popular TV shows, viewed by a wide variety of people. Jersey Shore is essentially a psychological experiment with the hope that bringing eight strangers together would make for an entertainment. The reason Jersey Shore became such a hit is because it is infused with romance, drama and opportunity to live through a group of people we have nothing in common with. Throughout the six seasons romance is a prominent factor of the growing success of Jersey Shore. While many members of the cast develop romantic relationships, the shows the main focus is on Sammi and Ronnie’s unhealthy romance. The common theme throughout their relationship is fighting and hatred, which leads to them breaking up only to eventually get back together. The audience is hooked on the drama these two bring and their constant …show more content…

From drunken arguments/ fights to nearly everyone hating each other in the house at some point, Jersey Shore seems to have it all. There’s something about watching drunken guys or girls fight that is both humorous and entertaining. Drama seems to drive this fast pace show leading to no dull moments throughout. Every episode seems to take another turn leaving the viewer to want more. I believe the reason why people enjoy the drama infused during the show because it almost makes them feel better about themselves. People seem to enjoy watching a train wreck of idiotic drama because like the cast everyone has their own struggles in life and by seeing their problems on national television it reiterates that no one is

    When asked "What is the trashiest show on television?" I wouldn't doubt that the majority of the population would agree that it was The Jerry Springer Show. The show deals with people and there issues in the way like many other self-help shows do, for example Oprah or Dr. Phil, but the issues that are dealt with are quite different. Although one may argue that the people on The Jerry Springer Show are simply freaks, a sociologist would say that the issues on the show are dysfunctions of society and this show is an outlet for them to show off their abnormality. We must first understand the life of Jerry Springer to analyze his role on the show. Without a doubt, the show affects the morals and norms of society along with our perception of class, gender, and sexuality. Another important aspect is the role of the audience on the show and how that effects the roles of the guests.

    The Brady Bunch tends to say that our society is corrupt in a way. It displays many problems that people deal with on a daily basis and expresses how they feel they should be fixed. The show tries to get across to the audience that even though there are some people out there that are not right in the head, you yourself still have to be. Mike Brady, the father always gives out these lessons. For example when Marcia's new boyfriend steals Greg's phony playbook for the football game, Mike tells Greg that in actuality, Greg would win the game by cheating himself, unless he confessed to Marcia's boyfriend and told him the truth. After doing so, Greg and his team prevailed as champions of that game.

    The first show we will explore is the MTV show Jersey Shore. The show follows 8 people who are placed in a house together for the summer at the Jersey Shore. On the show each episode consists of the cast going out, partying, drinking excessively coming home and getting into drama. MTV itself has a target demographic of people ages 12-34 (Lankford 35). With other shows on the channel targeted mainly to teenagers, that is the demographic that was viewing Jersey Shore. One of the biggest problems with Jersey Shore aside from the glorification of excessive partying and binge drinking is the fact this it promotes this with no consequences. It shows young viewers that this is okay, by allowing the show to air for six seasons, it promotes this lifestyle as a way of making a living when it the real world its not. When the last season aired in 2012, the average salary was $100,000 per episode, per cast member with some of the cast making over $2 million dollars over the entire season (Salsano).

    After reading the show actively, I realized that many of their family values don’t appear to be as one would expect. Paul Sr. and Paul Jr. continuously fight about features to add to a certain bike or how to go about adding them. Mikey, son of Paul Sr. and brother of Paul Jr., is always energetic and joking around. These contrasting personalities make for a great show but don’t represent your typical American family.

    ““Well, they had a point. You are fat and disgusting!” The therapist announced. Patricia was sobbing, eyes red and nose runny...“Come on… Let’s go. We aren’t putting up with that!” her father...opened the door and ushered the family through. The therapist just observed and no more was heard from him…[Her nervous breakdown] was a result of long term bullying leading to an episode of being run out of school by a gang of boys. They threatened to kill her with a crowbar, sticks and wooden planks. She felt like a hunted fox” (shazwellyn.hubpages.com). No matter how hard a parent might try to help their child, whether they’re being bullied or are the bully, the consequences should not fall on the people who raise them because the victims have to do what they can to make up for what they’ve done or what they’ve suffered. The city of Monona, Wisconsin has proposed a new law that tickets and fines the parents for failing to respond properly to their child’s poor behavior. A behavioral and personal change consulting specialist, Mr. Michael Harmann, hypothesized that bullying behavior is typically an effort to cover up the bully's own vulnerability. It's a primitive mindset that wants to make you pay when you show vulnerability and since bullying mostly occurs under the legal age, that’s enough to say that higher levels of authority don’t have control over the thoughts and actions that bullies use as an outlet for their own pain because it goes against the Constitution. The key to helping the children we feel so sorry for is to heal the bully before he turns into a monster and the only way to help the perpetrator is to make him face his motivation to bully. “If you think about it, a great strategy to avoid being rejected is to reject everyon...

    What makes a good person good? According to WikiHow, "We should learn to define our own morals ourselves. One of the simplest ways to do so is to love others, and treat them as you would like to be treated. Try to think of others before yourself. Even doing small things daily will greatly enrich and improve your life, and the lives of others around you." This quote shows us what we need to do in order to be what society thinks as, “good". In order to be a good person, you have to do good and moral things in your society consistently. However people might think that by doing one good thing once in a while will automatically make you a “good person”, but in reality it doesn’t.
