craving violence and drama

Why do we like drama and violence? Where did the sense of craving originate? Simply because violence and drama have been altered in to more of an entertainment? Humans have a sense and nature of aggressive and through observation there natural acts in a way can be fulfilled without physical retaliation. Media has been a huge impact on this aspect, because they have altered drama and violence for entertainment purposes. For instance, we laugh at shows that present people getting mentally and physically abused or hurt. For example, shows like jackass, ridiculous, tosh.o and america’s funniest home videos. These shows provide entertainment by laughing at people’s pain. This sense of craving has been established more the decades ago. Many years ago Indians tribes have even done rituals of human’s sacrifices and other disturbing things. Just like in Lottery how they had a tradition of stoning random people and everyone would watch. Why do we like these type of shows; we attracted to these shows because of media providing stimuli’s. This stimulus is presented to humans by graphics and actions that keep us alert and “on the edge”. This once again brings up the subject of plentitude; we want to be entertained even more with better violence and drama. Sometimes I feel this sense of craving gets to and extreme point that is absurd. For example, the Saw movies are disgustingly disturbing that someone was this twisted to thinking of the movies plots. The hunger games portray a future idea of the extent that craving violence and drama could get to.  What has to world become to and what will happen because of the continuous craving?

"reality" Why?

I know everyone was is thinking that everyone is going to be doing a blog on Jersey Shore, but this is practically the only reality shore I watch the most! Considering the fact that the show is on ALL the time even on the days it doesn't premier. The show has marathons of multiple shows during the afternoon. My response to the show is that I am satisfied in being entertained I find the show providing comedy and enjoyed watching the show. Why do I enjoy watching people drink, have sex. Physical and socially abused others? This is because in today’s society these aspects have become social norms. Instead of taboos, or things that are not alright for people to do in the society. This is mainly because we are constantly subjected to once considered “terrible issues” and developed into social norms because of society has got aware of these issues and it doesn’t concern their involvement and harm them in anyways. My role of the view is to understand what it is like to drink at day hook up with random people, or practically the life the famous. You “live” the life of the characters of the reality show that make you to believe you are experience their real life when in “reality” the majority of the show is fake and altered. What makes this show alluring is the constant drama everyone is interested in drama because of the entertainment that as developed from that influence reality TV has impacted our thoughts. Why do we think these preposterous things are ok and we are just “use” to watching or hearing about this? For instance, CSI and other shows that portray reality have made us less empathic about crimes that are tragedies. When did all of this become “ok” or when did we decide to look past things that should be considered taboos? Also a subject that goes with this is a lesson we learned in sociology. We learned in sociology of how people are stereotypical. For instance, women are judged based on their looks. Why is that? When did this become a social norm to dye hair, do make up, and exercise to become extremely fit or skinny? Reality TV works because we choose to watch it because we actually believe what the display is “reality”. According to Snooki and the Jersey cast its “ok” to drink as work, drink and drive, and hook up with random people. Also funniest home video’s we sit back and laugh uncontrollable at people getting hurt. But the real question is why? What made us alter “taboo’s” to develop into social norms? Why are unethical things not considered forbidden? There are so many why questions to this subject.
