The Impact of Reality Television on Judging and Categorizing People

Reality television influences viewers to minimize individuals by forming judgmental opinions, categorizing them as heroes or villains, substantive or shallow. It exploits people's insecurities, makes light of their embarrassment, and prompts viewers to decide who should be eliminated, progress to the next stage, or receive the final rose. This practice ingrains a habit of judgment, dehumanization, and diminishing individuals.
