So last night I watched the Bachelor. Yes, haha, very funny; a guy watched the Bachelor. Oh well I don't care what you think; I like it. Anyway, I was watching the Bachelor and i was thinking, "this is so unrealistic." They have this young, "handsome" guy choose his true love out of a group of young,"gorgeous" women (note the quotation marks). This is the epidemy of the American core value, Youthfulness. The show is indirectly telling American society that you should be "beautiful." That is unrealistic because probably 95% of the time, people will not find true love based on just looks. The show also represents Achievement and Success. Every woman and even the Bachelor have important occupations like a manager, business owner, etc. Each person has a high paying job. I also found this to be unrealistic because you can't alway fall in love based on wealth. An incase you haven't noticed, after the Bachelor chooses who he wants to be with, they always end up breaking up. But it's reality TV. It's all unrealistic. You can't always base love on looks and wealth. And if you do, it usually comes back to bite you in the rear.
