today's class was really interesting about the influences what Mtv is making on the society...It was interesting to think about all the issues...
Although I still don't agree with Elinor about that this series which I mentioned the " True Life " doesn't fit into the whole Mtv image, and I have no idea why actually they are showing it....Elinor said that It's because 'weird things' or scandals are always interesting, but on the other hand I am sure that an average parent wouldn't want that their child sees these episodes ! So these are actually not the typical stereotypes of those scandal-reality shows / series. I really have no idea why they are showing these. Because they are dealing with serious issues, just like this young girl who I mentioned who's doing stripping for an unknown guy who is paying her appartment so that she can go to university... and there was an other story about religions, where they were showing the "life" of two couples. One of the couples had a jehova's whitness girl, and a christian guy, and the other couple was a jewish guy + christian girl... It was about the differences of religions and basically both couples had serious problems becouse of their different backgrounds. The show was not on the side of any of the religions ....
So whatever I just found it interesting that there's a show like that on Mtv...

It was a very interesting discussion this last Tuesday. I am not surprised that you as a group cannot agree. The mass media is very complex and extradinary thing. It has caused dozens of great minds to write many books. And still, we don't agree! It is just great to think about it...
