reality shows. This whole new genre is said to be a source of not only benefits
but also problems.

play an important role in enhancing the women empowerment in society. With

aware of what is happening in their surroundings. Second, participating or
organizing a reality show can be the beginning of a success. Specifically, reality
TV offers opportunities to groups of young talents to travel the road from
nowhere to global fame in the blink of an eye. Simultaneously, a famous
program is said to bring in millions as well as reputation for the producers.

problem is that several shows set bad examples for teenagers. Reality shows
involving competitions show the intensive rivalry between contestants and
