Blog 7




   In the passage " Why People Think They're Living In  A Reality Show" by Colin Lecher, states that people have always imagined things that are not real. The author also argues that some people are getting the Truman Syndrome  where they believe that delusions are real. I agree with the author when he says that people can deride these delusions as complete mental fabrication of the truth. I agree because most people think it would  be better to live in a reality TV show than the world of today.

   Firstly people who believe that they have the Trumans Syndrome are delusional because the often try to to perfect everything that they do in the eyes of others. When inturn they are less than perfect in their own self image. According to the passage in a culture where everyone seems to be watching everyone else it is really difficult to imagine that we are in a colossal TV show. Cameras have always been a fascination of mine but being in front the camera is a different story. For example do a documentary of your whole life story where you are the subject of of the film.

   Secondly, when someone stares at you mindlessly, you can't help but think that something is physically wrong with you or your appearance. Like in the movie Truman Show we notice that Truman notice bits and snippets of him being on camera but they try to distract him in all possible ways. For example when he was driving going to work and the radio started to stick when they had to try all possible things to distract him.

Still working on this
