I read the essay " The Dangers of Reality TV" written by Timothy Sexton says that the several messages send out to the young fans through reality TV such as competition, the image values and "obsolescence of education". The successful of key is reality television of competition because it shows that the people who want to win million dollars or who want to marry a multimillionaire husband. Second message is image rather than ability because a singer who has a better voice but he cannot be actor on reality television. The image is more powerful than the ability. Third, most dangerous message is that education is not necessary to have the American dream, for many college graduates can not make a lot of money than lack of education. If you have a full of money, you do not need to go to school and learn about difficult education. The makers suggest that the human society have to think about why the powers want people to believe the reality.

I learn that the essay is the most educational. The writer claims that " the key to success is image rather than ability." I agree with the author because the out side world has happened that kind of situation. The ability is not important than the image even though the skill is highest. The reality television shows that the message is true of competition in the real world and also send about " qualified- to- win contestant over a contestant".

I found that the similar message of situation that the Olympic game in China. I read the article about  "the real singer" said that the teenage girl on reality television was not really a singer. A real singer has a good voice and ability to sing; however, her face is not beautiful and attractive. Many people watch on TV that the actor or actress needs to be attractive face so that they cannot be bored. On the other hand, she has full of skillful and ability, but she cannot show her image on reality television. The maker makes a decision of his business so that he can get a name of producer and earn a lot of money. I heard that the opening of Olympic song was very popular among the people, and also  decoration.Before the article did not come out ; everyone knew that the girl was pretty face and better voice. Her singing was more attractive to the people by watching the Olympic opening game, but her image did not show up on the reality. Now, I understand that Timothy Sexton says us that the reason of "The Dangers of Reality TV".
