In the article
"The Dangers of Reality TV” Timothy Sexton argues that reality TV is bad
for us, one of the many reason is that reality TV prefers one to make a fool of
one’s self than to be educated. How can education be unimportant in the world
of reality TV? I for one agree with the author when he says the most dangerous
message of all is that education is completely necessary to fulfill the
American dream. I however think that to succeed at one’s own dream, you have to
be grounded and have some form of education in order to succeed.
Firstly Education is the key to success.
Without any form of education you are nothing. I was always told that education
can open many door, so why would you choose to live without it. For example you
dress to kill for an interview and you are looking sharp, then you are asked a
question and you say a bunch of nonsense comes out of your mouth. That goes to
show that you can look as sharp as a tack but when you open your mouth you can
sound dumber than a few light bulbs short of a chandelier
Secondly according to the passage education
is completely necessary. How can education not be compulsory? Only a few have
been known to succeed without an education. For example Steve Jobs, Oprah
Winfrey, Bill Gates etc. were able to make it in the world without a degree and
succeed. From a personal stand point my mom has her own business and yet she
never finished high school. Could I or would I be as lucky as her? I am not
taking any chances as I push forward towards a better life with an education.
As a child I was always told it is better to walk for something than sit down
for nothing.
The passage also mention that in school we
are faced with difficulties of learning, when there is a much easier way to
make fast money. A fool and his money shall soon part, meaning that no matter
how much money you have if you don't have the ability to manage it you will lose
it faster than you can count it. So that brings me back to the topic of
education is necessary in life. Only a few have succeeded without education.
In conclusion count yourself lucky that you
can afford an education. Education is necessary for one to be able to succeed
in life.
