10. Reality TV Degrades Family Values
There are lots of reality shows on the air these days that feature families, but that doesn’t mean all of these shows are promoting good family values. Television producers know that show ratings go up when siblings bicker with each other or parents have relationship issues. Perhaps people want to see this to remind themselves that their lives aren’t all that bad. However, subconsciously, your brain is getting the message that family togetherness isn’t a priority. After all, maybe your family’s entertaining dysfunction will be discovered one day, and you’ll get your own reality show. Since that’s not likely, it’s best not to use reality TV as a guide for keeping your family relationships intact.
