This is not just bad television in the sense that it's mediocre, pointless, puerile even. It's bad because it's damaging." Discuss how far you believe his assessment to be justified.

Against
Reality shows are some of the most watched shows on tv
makes peoples careers eg X factor 
Relaxing, and spend time with family
family viewing 

For
Artificial 
some programmes produce a bad image and bad role models
Modern day freak shows- humiliating people purely for entertainment
Not educational 

to an extent reality shows are harmful and unnecessary, especially for younger viewers however it cannot be disputed that they are some of the most popular programmes and are a big influence in every day life.

Art is often described as a pillar stone of society separating us from the animals yet its importance is coming in to question compared to the more essential public services such as the NHS and education. In this essay I shall determine the value of government involvement in the arts and the need for a department to deal with such matters. 

Reason’s against government art department:

Money better spent on essential public services e.g. NHS
 Art has not saved lives, or built anything useful it exists for no reason bar itself 
 Art and sport will thrive without government support

Reasons for art and sport:
 
 The government put on the Olympics bringing people together of all races and religions promoting world peace
 Art inspires people through times of hardship
 Art and sport provides joy and happiness to millions
 Investing in sport will help fights obesity saving the NHS money in the future

Some art may need to have more funding to be created.

Art shouldn't be considered as a business.

I hate art it is worthless]]> 2017-01-10 09:39:51 UTC https://padlet.com/d_howard/1v4ao9bwcnae/wish/146189999 d_howard https://padlet.com/d_howard/1v4ao9bwcnae/wish/147464447 INEQUALITY KEY WORDS]]> 2017-01-17 08:29:11 UTC https://padlet.com/d_howard/1v4ao9bwcnae/wish/147464447
