A critic of The ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ Reality show
A reality show is a film that depicts how one lives his or her healthy life, and we expect that such shows present the actual happening on the ground. This point is illustrated from the word ‘reality,’ but I’m sorry to say that most of the reality shows we currently have being broadcasted in our television sets are nothing less than sources of fame to the individuals being filmed and sources of entertainment. A good example of such a show is ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ which I have taken much time betting on its level of reality. I’m always wondering if the kind of lifestyle being aired on this show would be the same lifestyle the actors would live off cameras. I’m sure an ordinary human being would change his or her personality depending on the environment he or she is exposed to.
As I watch the episodes of this show one after the other, what I see are induced feelings and emotions and imaginary decisions as well as actions. The cries, laughter, fights, and reconciliation to me are always not genuine at all. This reality show has, therefore, become more of a movie or a soap opera full of actions that would not happen in a typical life scenario. Celebrities are known for their unique works such as leadership and artistry and looking at the history of these participants; I can’t identify anything special that should grant them such level of fame. This kind of celebrity status might have hence come about from the fabricated lifestyle poised by the Kardashians in this film. For some people, such kind of orchestrated behavior would create a scenario similar to that of a dramatized piece and thus treat it just like any other form of entertainment.
