Denotation of reality tv vs Connotation of reality tv

Reality television, according to Google, is define to be television programs in which real people are continuously filmed, designed to be entertaining rather than informative. Alhough society view them (majority will be the youth) as real life people with real life problems it is intended to be over-exaggerated just for their ratings will be high.For example shows like The Real World and The Bad Girls Club was supposed to portray roommates with different personalities to deal with each other while they work on themselves. In the past it worked showing the viewers that any challenge can be overrcome with mental strength and patience, but ratings were not agreeing with the message. Slowly, but surely over the years I have witnessed reality shows altering their purpose with constant partying, violent actions, and meaningless problems. It is now just entertainment no longer being a positive influence to the viewers especially the teenagers.
