However, it is true that watching too much television makes people lose touch with the reality of their lives; they start to see the TV “world” as the real world instead of the world they are living in.

Television shows have always been prevalent in touching upon topics in society pertaining to an array of things such as color, race, creed, interest group, sexuallity, political/religious affiliation, and many more.

The outside aspects of what is being displayed on television are noticeable, but how much has the content on the screens really changed? People of today’s society still argue that the writers of these television shows are still playing into the general stereotypes of certain groups. There is also the argument that the eurocentric look of the characters is still having the most representation on screen.
