Unge: Vi er trætte af lorte-tv
Jeg gider ikke uddannes i sexstillinger
DE SENESTE år har vi oplevet et sandt bombardement af realityprogrammer, som står i kø for at overgå hinanden i den totale ydmygelse af de respektive deltagere i håbet om et øget seertal. Seneste program i rækken er ’Kongerne af Marielyst’, som handler om … ja det tror jeg ikke engang, at deltagerne selv ved. DISSE PROGRAMMER har i høj grad rykket grænserne for, hvad man kan tillade sig på tv, og det er efterhånden mere reglen end undtagelsen, at unge dyrker sex i realityprogrammerne. Programmerne har generelt været med TAREK til at skabe en helt ny kultur HUSSEIN blandt unge, hvor pornofiSTUDENT, 19 ÅR ceringen har taget til, og det traditionelle kvindeideal er blevet nedbrudt. På mange måder en moderne form for kvindeundertrykkelse, hvor kvinden udelukkende kommer til at fremstå som et sexobjekt. På samme tid er disse programmer også med til at legitimere de unges ansvarsløse forhold til alkohol og sex. Jeg er ganske enkelt træt af, at disse programmer får så meget tid på sendefladen og derudover giver et indtryk af, at hele vores generation opfører sig lige så uansvarligt. Det værste er, at medierne og producerne fuldstændig fralægger sig alt ansvar og henfalder til det klassiske argument om, at de blot følger de unge og laver en form for dokumentar af virkeligheden. Nu har selv DR 1 under dække af public service-forpligtelsen søsat DR Mama, som inkluderer ’Sexministeriet’, kneppesangen m.fl. Hvorfor i alverden føler medierne en så dyb forpligtelse til at uddanne mig i min egen seksualitet og diverse sexstillinger? Bland jer udenom! Jeg tror inderligt på ytringsfriheden, men under et vist ansvar. Derfor synes jeg, at Mediestøtten med fordel kan omlægges, og programmer, som skader samfundet, skal nedprioriteres. Jeg siger ikke, at de skal censureres, men hvis der skal laves drukture og intriger, skal det ikke være med støtte fra staten.

Hvorfor tror voksne tv-tilrettelæggere, at vi unge kun tænder på fulde folk fra Marielyst, halvnøgne unge i paradis og opmærksomhedshungrende singler, der lever deres pinlige liv for åben skærm? Vi vil have kvalitet, tak! Sådan lyder opråbet her på siden fra en række unge, der har fået nok. Læs flere unge kritiske stemmer på www.pol.dk/debat. På side 2 svarer producenten af ’Kongerne af Marielyst’, som kører på Kanal 5, på kritikken.

Hvorfor skal man være dum på tv?
UNGE BLIVER dummere og dummere. De burde læse aviser og se op til Al Gore i stedet for Amalie. Min generation går ikke nok i teateret eller læser de gode gamle klassikere. Vi kan ikke lide DR 2, og så ser vi ikke det ’rigtige’ tv! DET ER DEN slags, dagens unge må høre for fra tid til anden, og jeg er sådan set også enig, men når jeg konsekvent bliver overfaldet af unge mødre, fulde folk fra Marielyst, bikiniklædte unge i paradis, voksne til middag hos hinanden og opmærksomhedshungrende singler, der lever deres liv for åben skærm, unNINA drer jeg mig over, hvad det BENGTSÖN, ’rigtige’ tv er? 1. G’ER, 15 ÅR Jeg ønsker tv, jeg får noget ud af, og hvis det skal være ’virkeligheds-tv’, så lad det være interessant og relevant. Hvorfor skal man være dum eller smuk for at være en god realitystjerne? I 90’erne lavede MTV et program i USA, der hed ’Den ægte verden’, hvor man fulgte 7 fremmede mennesker fra New York. Det var kvikke unge mennesker. Programmet var fyldt med dialog om etik, homoseksuelles rettigheder, familie og racerelationer, men havde samtidig underholdningsværdi. Jeg savner kreativitet og kompleksitet hos tv-stationerne frem for ligegyldige gameshows, der tjener styrtende på andre menneskers villighed til at udstille sig selv. Jeg mangler talent og opfordring til at gøre noget ud af mig selv. Dagens programmer viser mig, hvordan jeg hverken behøver være talentfuld, dygtig eller blot opsøgende eller flittig for at ’komme til tops’. Dem, der får mest taletid på tv, er ikke dem, der vil ændre noget i Danmark. Det er ikke dem, der er fantastiske kunstnere og inspirerer mennesker, eller dem, der kreerer kulinariske oplevelser, forsker i grøn teknologi og verdens fremtid eller synger sig helt ind i menneskers hjerter. Nej, det er dem, der er kendte for at være kendte. Så hvis I voksne efterlyser en mere begavet generation, så hjælp os på vej, og giv os forudsætningerne for det. Skab alternativer til den populære genre, der stort set har monopol.

Listen over underholdningsog realityprogrammer er lang
1) Kongerne af Marielyst (Kanal 5): Deltagerne fester til den

Unge udnyttes, og jeg væmmes
KAN ET PROGRAM drevet af ideen om, at god underholdning legitimerer al form for etisk og moralsk ansvar for unge mennesker, virkelig gennemføres uden protester? JEG BLIVER draget af programmet ’Fristet’, draget mod at følge med i serien. Har producenterne puttet noget i programmet, som er akkurat så vanedannende som nikotin er i cigaretter? Hvilke greb benytter de, der gør, at jeg ikke slukker fjernsynet, når jeg etisk og LIV TINEKE moralsk ikke kan stå inde NIELSEN for, hvad deltagerne genPÆDAGOGMEDHJÆLPER, nemgår. Jeg væmmes ved 21 ÅR producenternes grove udnyttelse af deltagerne og seerne. Og jeg kan jo bare slukke. Kan man tillade sig alt i reality, hvis bare nok seere følger programmet? Hvis man kan tillade sig alt, er grænsesøgning så blevet en ny værdi, som generation Facebook har monopol på? Hvem er mine rollemodeller? Jeg ved ikke, hvad jeg skal sige til mine børn, hvis jeg får nogen. Hvis de undrer sig over mine ungdomsår og spørger: Hvorfor så I alt det reality, hvorfor dyrkede I det, og var det jeres idoler dengang? Nej, det gjorde vi ikke. Jeg gjorde ikke. Jeg tvangsindlagde mig selv til det. I en presset hverdag, hvor politikerne lå i blokkrig, krisen kradsede for anden gang og alle ville være kendte for noget, de ikke kunne finde ud af. Så havde vi da dem at grine ad. Hvor er de rigtige helte, og hvorfor kalder Bertel Haarder ’Anden’ for en antihelt? Der er da i det mindste en stillingtagen i hans show. Fra jeg ikke var ret gammel, har jeg været dybt imponeret og inspireret af Che Guevara, Gandhi, Einstein, Bob Marley, Nelson Mandela og Martin Luther King. Så op til Susanne Vega og Tracy Chapman. De var alle mennesker, jeg så op til og fandt ro og tryghed i. Hvorfor er vi alle så optaget af at fordømme realitystjerner i stedet for at lede efter de virkelige stjerner og helte, vi i virkeligheden har brug for. Helte søges, ja tak. Og det var en opfordring på en helt.

lyse morgen, flirter i krogene, danser på bordene og mingler med de lokale. De er på deres livs sommerferie i Marielyst med fuld VIP-adgang til byens diskoteker og alkohol ad libitum. 2) Fristet - hvor langt vil du gå? (TV3):Indtager Alanya i Tyrkiet. Deltagerne dyster om penge til deres hold gennem udfordringer. Men kan vælge at lade egoisme vinde over fællesskabet ved kun at tænke på dem selv, når der fristes med luksusvarer, oplevelser i særklasse og opfyldelsen af deres allerstørste ønsker. 3) Paradise Hotel (TV3):Foregår på et luksuriøst hotel i Mexico. Deltagerne er delt mellem drenge og piger, forenet i par, der kæmper om en stor pengepræmie. Deltagerne diskuterer og intrigerer og har flere gange sex foran kameraet. 4) For lækker til love (TV3)Jagten på den store kærlighed spidser til, når landets labreste singler slår sig løs. De er smukke. De er sexede. Men de er stadigvæk singler. Programmet følger nogle af landets lækreste singler i deres jagt på den store kærlighed. 5) Singleliv (Kanal 4)Singlerne i ’Singleliv’ dater løs, mens kameraet følger jagten på kærlighed på godt og ondt. 6) De unge mødre (Kanal 4) 7) Sommer i Sunny Beach 2 (TV3) 8) 4-Stjernes middag (Kanal4) 9) Robinson Ekspeditionen (TV3) 10) Sexministeriet (DR HD)11) Hugh Hefners playboypiger (Kanal 5) 12) Dagens mand (TV 2)13) Toppen af poppen (TV 2) 14) X Factor (DR 1)15) Skjulte stjerner (DR 1) 16) Mama (DR HD)[BLANK-TAG]
114 pct. er mængden af reality-tv steget siden 2007 ifølge Søndagsavisens seneste opgørelse.

Jeg har fået nok af ’the bad style’
JEG INDRØMMER det. Jeg har set reality-tv – og endnu pinligere; det var med fornøjelse. En tømmermandsplaget lørdag slæbte jeg mig ind i stuen og tunede om på TV3 for at se, om der ikke var noget ’lorte-tv’. DET VAR DER selvfølgelig. ’Paradise’ blev genudsendt, og jeg morede mig på sofaen med mine leverpostejsmadder, mens det iscenesatte konflikthelvede buldrede over skærmen. Det var en hård søndag, men da jeg dagen THOMAS efter kom på benene igen KORSGAARD og ikke længere havde ondt 1. G’ER, 16 ÅR af mig selv, kunne jeg godt mærke, at min kvote for dårligt tv var opbrugt lang tid frem, og om aftenen slog jeg atter om på DR 2’s ’Deadline’ og blev fyldt med god samvittighed, selvom det til tider kan være lidt tørt og ikke er vildt ungdommeligt. Reality bliver set af mange aldersgrupper, men især mange unge ser det. Da jeg sidste år gik i 9. klasse, var det et dagligt samtaleemne, hvem der stod stærkest i ’Paradise’, og hvem mon ville vinde. Pigerne på min skole klædte sig som pigerne i programmet med stramme, nedringede bluser, og drengene kørte ’the bad style’ og ville være som drengene i programmet på det eksotiske luksushotel i Mexico med ad libitum breezere og måske to piger på én gang. REALITY GIVER os rollemodeller, men det er dårlige rollemodeller, der misbruger deres magt. Det substansløse ’lorte-tv’ vinder alt for ofte de unge seere – og det store problem med reality-tv er jo netop, at det er urealistisk og viser ekstremt fordrejede billeder af virkeligheden. Reality-tv kan være sjovt, men programmer som ’Fristet’, ’Kongerne af Marielyst’ og ’Singleliv’ viser også en sørgelig, nærmest tragisk udvikling i dansk tv. Vi unge udsættes for åndssvage programmer i en mængde, der er ubegribelig. Tv-stationerne må tage ansvar og vise ordentligt fjernsyn om virkeligheden og med rollemodeller, der træder i karakter og inspirerer til deltagelse i samfundet.

Is Tv Good or Bad ?

...Is TV Good or Bad? There are many people who think that television is a bad thing. As is the case with many things, television has its good points and its bad points. The first bad point about television is the amount of violence that occurs in some of the programmes. This may have a bad effect on children, who might be tempted to copy some of the violent acts. However, if children do react to that, it is not all the fault of the programme makers. As parents should be more careful about what they let their children view. Another disadvantage of television is that it has had a bad effect on people's social habits. In many cases, television has replaced hobbies such as reading and chess and has even prevented family members from having conversations with each other. Often people even eat their meals in front of the TV. However, people should limit their viewing to programmes that really interest them. The main advantage of television is that it provides us with a wide range of information. This information like news programmes and documentary provides us about what is going on in the rest of the world. This makes television a very important educational tool. It also has a social advantageas well. It can stop people from feeling lonely. People who live alone and have few friends often find TV a great comfort. There are good things and bad things about television. The most important thing about it is that we should learn to use it...

In the same year, colour TV was introduced in the Indian market. Indian small screen programming started off in the early 1980s. At that time there was only one national channel Doordarshan, which was government owned. The Ramayana and Mahabharata (both Indian spiritual & mythological stories) were the first major television series produced. This serial notched up the world record in viewership numbers for a single program. By the late 1980s more and more people started to own television sets. Though there was a single channel, television programming had reached saturation. Hence the government opened up another channel which had part national programming and part regional. This channel was known as DD 2 later DD Metro. Both channels were broadcast terrestrially. Television...

Is Watching Tv Bad for Toddlers.Docx

...As long as Experts suspect that babies younger than two years old view TV as a confusing array of colors, images, and noises. They don’t understand much of the content. Since the average TV scene lasts five to eight seconds, toddler doesn’t have enough time to digest what’s happening. While all this certainly helps captivate the toddlers’ attention and conveniently keeps them quietly glued to the television, research says watching excessive television is not quite good for toddlers. And I am going to talk about some of the major negative effects of television on toddlers in the following. First of all, in academically, it is about low grades. There was a study of more than 1,300 Canadian schoolchildren tracked the amount of television children were watching at the ages of about 2 and 5. . The result shows that average level of television viewing shown in the study falls within recommended guidelines. Compared with children who watched less television, those with more TV exposure participated less in class and had lower math grades. Secondly, watching TV also affects toddlers with their health.

Detour for Emmy

...Explanation of Title Is the title of the book “Detour for Emmy” a good or bad title? Why or why not? On my perspective the title “Detour for Emmy” is good title for this amazing book. The reason being is because everything Emmy goes threw is like a detour for her from start to ending. Emmy went threw a lot from being a regular teenager to being a mother at teenager years. Emmy had to change her goals and her dreams because of on little mistake that happened. But that didn’t stop Emmy from being the best she could be. She continued her life but down another path because she had another life to take care of besides her own. Being a single parent for Emmy was hard because she didn’t have Art there to help her or be there for Rosie. This was another big detour for Emmy because she thought that Art would’ve been a little bit more of a father and help to Rosie and her but he wasn’t. Everything to Emmy was a big disappointment to her in her life but she would just take another turn to make things better for her. Life for Emmy was full decisions to make either she took one path or she took another. Usually one was the difficult path because she either had to give something up she didn’t have the help. She would always have to take the path she knew would be easier for her and would help her with Rosie. “Detour for Emmy” was a very good title for this book as I explained the things Emmy had to go threw and the detours she had to make because of a little mistake that happened...

...Should youth 11 years old and younger be exposed to competition, i,e, scoring? Competition can be good for children. It can help children develop healthy attitudes about winning and losing. Children are not born with the natural urge to compete. This is a learned skill and behavior. Competition usually starts at about five years old. Competition can encourage growth and push a child to excel. Competition can also be very rough for a young child. There must always be a winner and a loser, but young children sometimes just can’t deal with losing. The question is, can a young child handle defeat and at what point do you no how much a child can take? Losing is a serious business, especially for a child who really wants to win. Winning, losing, or playing against others has little or no meaning for children under the age of seven. They are more concerned about the rules of the game and how the games are played. They often break the rules, because they can’t remember .By the age of eight, children can follow rules and understand what it really means to win or lose. In 2001, a survey was conducted by Sports Illustrated for kids. The survey found that seventy percent of children quit organized sports by the tender age of thirteen. They said that they were no longer having fun. Often this happens because referees, coaches, and parents are continued more caught up in the competition than the children.

Globalization

...Globalization in Business Donovan Chase PHL/320 12/22/2014 Bridget Peaco Globalization in Business Is globalization good or bad for your business? (1, premise) Globalization is viewed as either good or bad depending on your particular situation. For example, if you are an emerging growth industry, globalization represents a significant opportunity to access broader geographic markets, to accelerate growth and expand your business. (1, conclusion) However, if your business is an industry that has imploded due to the onslaught of global competition, or you have suffered a job loss due to downsizing or outsourcing you probably have a very negative view on globalization being good for business. Is Globalization “Good” Before we can decide what is good we need to have a definition of “good” as it relates to our topic. According to "Merriam Webster" (2014), Good is defined as something that is right or good. Something that has economic utility or satisfies an economic want. An example of good in the way we are defining it is the difference between good and bad. I personally feel that globalization is not good for the business of America.

Ethics

...What does Kant mean by "good without qualification"? Obviously people try to seek and avoid many different sorts of things; those things which they seek they call "good," while those they try to avoid, they call "bad". These "goods" which people seek may be divided into those which are sought as means to some further end and those which they seek as good as ends in themselves. Obviously some things may be "good" as means to one end and "bad" as means to some other end. Different persons, motivated by different ends, will thus find different things "good" and "bad" (relative to their different ends). More food is "good" to a starving man, but it is "bad" to one overweight. In order for something to be good "without qualification" it must not be merely "good" as means to one end but "bad" as means to some other end. It must be sought as good totally independently of serving as a means to something else; it must be "good in-itself." Furthermore, while one thing may be good as means relative to a particular end, that "end" becomes a "means" relative to some other "end". So a college diploma may be sought as "good" as a means for the end of a higher-paying job. And a higher-paying job may be "good" as a means to increased financial security; and increased financial security may be "good" as a means to obtaining the necessities of life as well as a few of its luxuries. However, if we seek A only for the sake of B, and B only for the sake of C, etc., then there is never a justification...

Process Analysis Fishing

... Are you looking to buy a fishing rod? Here are 10 steps to make the process as simple as possible. 1. What type of fishing do you expect to be doing? This will help guide your decision making. For instance, you may need a different rod depending on whether you're fishing for salmon, pike, or trout. Likewise, sea fishing may also require a different rod. 2. How often do you anticipate you'll be using your new rod? If it's only for occasional use, your needs may differ greatly from someone who intends to fish quite often. 3. If you have a specific purpose you need the rod for, there may be better options for you than multi-use products. 4. Where do you intend to be located when fishing. A decision over the size of your rod will need to be made based on whether you'll be standing in the river, on the bank, on the side of a lake. 5. Fishing can be a long process and you may need to hold your rod for a long time without anything happening. As such, it's important you get a rod that is comfortable. Weight and size will be important factors. 6. Size and weight choices also boil down to preferences. Some anglers like them heavier, others lighter. If you're new to fishing it might be a good idea to try a few out in-store. 7. If you already have a rod and your new purchase is going to be for a specific purpose, then you need to ensure your reels are compatible. Otherwise, you may need to spend a little more. 8. Do a little research on the brands you like and don't like. Reviews...
