The past ten years have seen a proliferation of “reality” talent shows around the world–Dancing with the Stars, So You Think You Can Dance, American (or Canadian or Australian or many other) Idol, America’s Got Talent, The Voice, and so on.
Write a short opinion piece assessing the merits of a particular “talent” show. What should a proper event of this kind accomplish? Does the event you’re reviewing do so?
In your discussion of the “talent” show, do your best to consider the ideas and questions found in the early pages of Chapter 10. You might also consider cooking contest shows or other types of “talent” contest “reality” shows to assess. Aim for roughly 500 words, or 2 pages, for this assignment.
