its really bad whats put out there. part of it is that the situations, personalities, and behaviors portayed in these shows are somewhat real, and that adds to the overall attraction. now while there are people who are just as foul as what we see on the shows out there, not all of the actors are necessarily as scandalous as they are shown. but, the thing about it is the shows do represent an undercurrence going on in society today. the family unit in general, relationships, and the lack of responsibility from both sides have fallen off hard . its not what it was before, and it feels like that attitude of being a selfish ass is getting even more purvasive
people like to say that entertainment doesnt effect them, which can be true to an extent, but every action has a thought behind it. and if your thoughts are being cluttered with immature attitudes, sick entertainment, and unhealthy words, youre feeding your brain too much junk food.
people will say that music and the media does not control people ... but what it can do is influence. and those without any healthy influences, will more than likely just latch onto something that is constantly being shown to them. theres a danger in having too much of anything.
seriously, anyone who doubts the power of music can look at the devil worshippers that popped out during the 60s and 70s rock n roll era. people started abandoning their local churches and legitimately began worshipping the devil. later, there people all over the globe started to wear colors in the 90s to bang, yet these gangs they were representing had no origins or relevance to their area. all of a sudden everyone thought itd be cool to wear colors and bang for crip, or blood. we even had little white kids from little rock arkansas start gangbanging for real
its crazy, but the more time someone spends actively listening to or following any type of media/form of entertainment, the closer their thoughts might start to resemble it. women have been acting out and being more loud these days, even repeating the stupid phrases and attitudes from these miserable reality stars. the problem is when these shows give out a lot of drama and ratchedness, many women find it alluring and start to imitate it.
Im not saying that watching the show is going to corrupt you just because, dont get me wrong, but it gets dangerous when we see folks let entertainment become somewhat of a guide in their life. more people need to actively watch what theyre putting into their ears and brains all of the time, and instead see what else they could be doing with their energy. at the least, I would say minimize the foulness and dont treat it as a reflection of your life. people can only make changes for themselves when they realize what they want and how to get it, but it has to be a decision reached without a lot of outside influences. as for someone who focuses a lot on reality shows, I feel like it is a definite warning sign to look out for. peace
People saying that television doesn't affect people are deluding themselves. They call television shows 'programs' and say back to your regularly scheduled programming for a reason. When you program a computer, you give it instructions. It's the same thing with these shows. People who watch these trash shows slowly, but surely start to adopt the habits they see. When people were brainwashed, they were forced to watch propaganda films over and over until their mentality changed. The only difference now is that people WILLINGLY watch this propaganda and have tricked themselves to believe that it doesn't have an affect on them.
Here is a verse from Mathew 6:22
The eye is the lamp of the body. So if your eye is sound, your entire body will be full of light.
In other words, depending on what you look at, you will fill your soul with light or darkness. If you're watching screwed up things over and over, eventually it will seep into your mind. Same with righteous things. That's one of the reasons I hardly watch television. So many trashy shows that brainwash.
