The media plays a big part in telling the people what is real and what is not. Reality TV is supposed to show us a persons everyday life. the MTV hit show "The Real World" made reality TV popular. People were so glued to peoples everyday problems because they can relate to that. In 1998 a Satirical comedy/drama film called "The Truman Show" came out and it showed everyone how reality television will consume our lives in the future. The Truman Show is about a man named Truman (actor Jim Carrey) who was under the spot light and cameras since the time he was born. Truman grew up his whole life not even noticing that the whole world was watching everything he does from the time he was an infant. as he got older he started to realize that the world he is living is is not what he thought it to be. Like all reality television shows people can tell if a scene is reality or performance. Most Reality TV shows now have a huge element of performance because the directors wants the audience to feel a certain way. Violence plays a major part in what people want to see in reality television.
