Critical Investigation Plan

INTRODUCTION

- Brief introduction to what Geordie Shore is, when it started, values and possibly a bit about the institution MTV.

- My hypothesis 'Structured reality television such as Geordie Shore is a factor of a dumbed down culture we are deemed to have'

PARAGRAPH ONE

. Explain hypothesis
- Why I think this
- Researched evidence

- "Reality TV is sleazy, it is manipulative. It is as momentary as anything in popular culture. Morley Safer"

PARAGRAPH TWO

. Speak a bit about Ethnofiction
- development of reality tv
-History of social experiment vs Entertainment values

PARAGRAPH THREE

. Structured reality tv references
- The Only Way Is Essex
- air head fame
- Political messages


PARAGRAPH FOUR

. Counter arguments
- For and against

-"We live in an age of mass culture. More people read tabloids than the broadsheets, and reality TV is a fair reflection of this."

-"It exploits the vulnerable, and has been condemned by the Mental Health Foundation for doing so."
