4. Reality TV Doesn’t Promote Healthy Conflict Resolution
When reality stars get in (planned) fights during an episode, they very rarely sit down and talk about the issue in a calm and rational manner. That doesn’t make for exciting TV. Instead, there’s yelling, lots of cursing, throwing of various objects and an occasional fist fight. That’s not a good look for anyone, especially if you’re an adult with children. In the real world, if you don’t want your children to act like maniacs when they don’t get their way, they shouldn’t see you behaving that way. Watching these types of occurrences on reality TV tells your brain that it’s OK to get crazy during conflict, which can make the argument way bigger than it actually is.
