REALITY SHOWS
Everyone has been familiar with TV programs(,) which are called reality shows. These programs have become trend and are shown whole day on TV. They are based on family tragedy and such SIMILAR simple EVERYDAY themes. Since reality shows are watched by people, social scientists study the causes of the reality shows' success(,) and they are faced with two significant reasons. EXPRESS REASONS IN THE INTRODUCTION.
The main reason why reality shows are most popular is that TV channels want ORDER them. Firstly, these programs are liked by everyone. When they are shown BROADCASTED, channels get high ratings and more advertisements. Accordingly, they gain high revenues. Another fact why Tv channels want/PREFER them is the cost of these programs is low. Participants are only ordinary people, so channels do not pay extra money for these programs.
The second important reason why these programs become popular is that viewers desire to watch them. Reality shows are most similar to gossip between friends(,) and neighbours and people, especially women, like to watch and talk about others' lives. Because of this reason they have A large mass/AUDIENCE. In addition to this, the participants, esPEcially, is an important point. They are ordinary people(,) and viewers identify with the characters of such shows (NOT CLEAR).
To sum up, there are two main resons why reality shows are so popular: BOTH channels AND VIEWERS want LIKE them and viewers want them. It is a fact that these shows have so much influence(,) and next stage, I think, social scientists should study their positive and negative effects. TOO MANY REASONS AND WANTS, REPLACE THE FIRST ONE WITH CAUSE, FACTOR ETC.
GOOD LUCK!
