Is Big Brother Mzanzi/Africa teaching the youth to be somehow care free and promiscuous?????

Big Brother is a reality game show franchise created by John de Mol and was originally based on a show from the Netherlands of the same name. The premise of the show is that there is a group of people, called "housemates" living together in a large house. During their time in the house they are isolated from the outside world and are not aware of outside events or have access to any electronic devices. Contestants are continuously monitored by in-house television cameras as well as personal audio microphones during their entire stay. Each series lasts for about three months.

Big Brother is a television show that is quite different from all the other shows; I think that it is ‘special’, considering that is has millions of viewers but all that the contestants do in that house is simply, play games/challenges, gossip, drink alcohol, smoke and do other unimaginable things. I am surprised why we even have a show like this on our television screens for 3 months in a year.

I thought that good television or anything relayed by the media was supposed to either, inform, educate, entertain or distract us from our daily routines but it seems that as we change as a society, we are also changing our morals as people in society perhaps it is ‘moving with the times’.

It is understandable that some people do not like earning their money, they would rather have the money fall into their hands without even lifting a single finger, but to parade naked, drink alcohol, and conspire against each other all in the name of ‘money’ is very different. I guess we cannot all view entertainment in the same way, because what may be entertaining to me, may not be necessarily entertaining to the next person, and I cannot judge anyone who is on that show or someone who has been on that show for the simple fact that, I don’t know their reasons for being on that show and I do not know what situation they are in financially that led them to go and take part in this show therefore I cannot conclude and say this show is a bad show.
