Analysis 2
Assignment 1-4-3

               There are many rituals and stereotypes that can be involved with Reality Television.  Some tend to think that if they get on a Reality Television show that they will automatically become some superstar overnight…when in reality this is usually not the case.  Being an actor/actress takes much more work, time, and effort then just getting on a Reality Television show.  Most of the big time actors/actresses have been involved in the Hollywood Scene since they were very young.  They have put a lot of work into become the super stars they have become.  There are many other stereotypes that come along with being a Reality Television Star. 
               Our society puts so much pressure on everyone to look like fitness models…and the same applies to reality television.  Yes, on shows like “Biggest Loser” and other weight loss reality shows, the people are bigger.  But, they are on there to lose weight and become healthy.  I am disregarding these shows in my argument.  Shows like “The Bachelor” or “The Bachelorette” you would never see anyone overweight, and not supermodel gorgeous.  It is sickening to know that these are the shows our children are going to grow up watching and seeing all of the stereotypes that you have to look and act a certain way if you want to find love, become a star, and just function in normal life.  This is an unhealthy stereotype that an end should be put to.  There is no reason that everyone should not be accepted for the way that they are, regardless of race, religion, weight, looks, and any other kind of characteristic.
               We should focus more on everyone being accepted and treated the same regardless of other traits.
