Just a reflection on class discussion about “girl
power “shows. I think a lot of those type of shows that use to empower little girls
are slowly becoming extinct. Shows like nick news or the Clarissa explains it
all are not really available to little girls anymore. In today’s culture of
media, the most popular type of shows is reality TV. Television shows are
taking more of an approach to real life shows because now that’s the type of
entertainment people want, it shows all the drama that goes on in people life’s
and it makes for good TV. A show that comes to mind that is SOOO anti girl
power is BGC, or Bad Girls Club. BGC shows girls fighting, sleeping around,
going out to clubs every other night and getting drunk and staying in a big
mansion, which is all amplified because how do they afford some of the things
that they get on the show. Of course it’s not age appropriate for little girls
but girls over the age of at least 10 are going to at least know what the show
is about and have watched it one time. When shows like this come out, it gives
a false impression of how some girls act. Although I do watch the show, I remember
an episode, that featured Natalie, where one of the girls had a daughter and
actually fought Natalie for saying things like why are you even here if you
have a child, shouldn’t you be trying to set an example for her.
