[ ConclusioN ]

Ethics in reality TV shows is everyone's business. Everybody must be involved in deciding which programs raise the common good of society and not just satisfaction of individual needs and wants. That is why, I strongly believe in solving the problem first, at home, together with some government regulations on programs shown on regular channels. Parents should teach their children about the ethics of virtue early in life. Of course, banning one's children not to watch non-quality TV programs is the worst action as most parents would attest to it.

Communities have also a role to do because if a TV station or network shows objectionable programs could create a chaotic society. A solution presented was to boycott the products or services of the advertisers on the objectionable program. This forces the TV network to air quality programs. Non-profit organizations must be active in educating not only parents about good and quality TV programs but also producers, advertisers and executives officers of the different TV networks.

I end with a quote from one of the Saints.

“Where over one may turn, one finds extreme tension, anxiety and suspense prevailing everywhere. The root cause of this universal chaos is restlessness in individual minds. Man has made tremendous progress in various spheres of life, but unfortunately has not cared to know anything about the spirit within and is altogether ignorant about it. He has unraveled the mysteries of the starry welkin, sounded the depths of the seas, delved deep into the bowels of the earth, braved the blinding blizzards of snowy Mount Everest, and is now out exploring spaces so as to establish interplanetary relations, but sad to say, has not found out the mystery of the human soul within him."
