Both of these shows have as their main theme adult bullying, rejection and public humiliation of their fellow participants. These shows are not about contestants. If you want to know why children do evil things, look in the mirror. If they see the adults in their home watching and being entertained by this garbage, they will think it is acceptable behavior. You don't have to tell them what is right or wrong.
Children learn by example.
How about state bosses, who will be able to fire workers at will. How about big polluters who have been kept honest by environmental regulations, who will then be able to police themselves. Throw in all the services to children, seniors and the needy that would be affected by these severe cutbacks and you get a clear picture real fast. The way the two completely diverse communities of Sun City Center and Wimauma have bonded could be a guide for the world to follow. Thank you for a wonderful article.
