Reality Shows are not Real!


Reality is the state of things as they actually exist. Reality shows claim that they are acutally real and that the fact that a camara is recording 24/7 does not affect the behaviors of the people "participating" in the reality show. Over the past few years reality shows have become more populular, having audience even higher than the news. The question is how real are reality shows? A reality TV show claim to have real and ordinary people instead of actors and actresses. People participating in reality shows supposed to present real life situations, but most of the time most people don't act the same when they have a camara in front of them. How did producers of reality shows chose who is in or not? Also most of the time they look for different personalities so their ideas and behaviors can crash adding drama to the show. Putting several strangers in a house, spending all day and night togheter is not real, in real life that does not happen. So the question is how real are reality shows? What makes something real or not real?

Knowledge

How do we obtain knowledge? Is it through experience, education or simply it is something that we believe we obtain but in reality we don't know what it is? How do people measure knowledge? Having knowledge in life does not necessary means being intelligent or smart, there are many people that have the knowledge but they don't use it and therefore they are not succesfull in life. We as humans have the knowledge at some degree of what is right and wrong wich we called morals, we know the consequences of what studying for a test brings, or drinkng and driving, so if we have the knowledge, why are there so many students who don't do good in tests or people having terrible accidents because of drinking and driving? We may have the knowledge but sometimes we don't fallow that knolwedge and we fallow our instincts wich are not always right. I aslo apply knowledge with God, many times people hear the word of God, meaning that they have the knowledge but either ignorance or the incapacity of believing in something other that humanity retains their hearts to accept Gods love toward them. Knowledge many can have it but can we really use it?
