Reality Shows - How Beneficial?

Today, we are living in 21st century which is a world of changes. A lot of changes have been continuously taking place in different aspects of life. Like other fields, a major change has taken place in the field of entertainment too, that is the introduction of reality shows and attraction of people towards them instead of fictions.

Reality shows have been proved very beneficial to some people. Various singing and dancing shows like "India's Got Talent" and "Dance India Dance" provide a great platform for people who are interested in these fields. These shows thus help to bring out the hidden Indian talents in front of this world full of competition. At the same time, these shows make people aware of dancing, singing and sports, etc. A few years ago, if you had asked anyone what is Locking - Popping or what is Belle Dance, most probably he/she would have answered "I don't know" or "I haven't even heard about it". But know, the answer to the same question comes like "Oh yeah, that's Prince does on Dance India Dance(for eg.)"

Other reality shows like KBC and BQC increase the general knowledge of people and sometimes they also change their lives. Sushil Kumar was one such person, who's life completely changed because of KBC. The show made him "Khaas from Aam".

A still from Emotional Atyachaar
Till now, we have seen only one side of it. We should look at the other side too. Some reality shows are aired on television that make use of abusive languages even when the same thing can be said with the same effect in simple language. Shows like"Roadies" and "Emotional Atyachaar" divert the minds of young people towards unrealistic things.They have adult contents that can generally be not viewed with the family members sitting together.


But, can you tell me any single thing in the world that has got only good qualities? Probably no. Reality shows too have good as well as bad effects on the viewers. But, one thing is damn sure, they have become a part of our life and it now depends on us how we spend our time watching these shows - by learning from them or by moving ourselves towards the unrealistic world.
