Podcast: This American Life by Johanna https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9 In pairs or alone, discuss the questions below and briefly write down your thoughts. en-us 2017-02-03 08:32:25 UTC 2026-02-20 19:29:19 UTC hello@padlet.com Questions johanna_ehrminsvensson https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151367819 1. Was it unethical to keep Nasabi in the apartment although he actually had the opportunity to leave? The door was never locked.

2. Could this kind of show ever be recorded in Sweden? Would the idea ever come up? Would anyone do it? Would anyone watch it?

3. Is this worse than any other reality show from Europe or America that you have seen? Why? Have you got other examples of similar reality shows?

4. Is this a TV show that you would watch? Why/Why not?

But in the second apartment he was in Korea and he didn't know how to get back to Japan if he didn't do the challenge.

I don't think that this idea would come up in Sweden. I think the chance would be very small. It depends on which country.

3. It's not bad because they don't hurt him. I have never seen some other reality show that is similar to this one. 

4. Probably not, because it's a weird show to watch at. I don't look att much TV.

Its just like the Tru Man show, he does not know that he’s in a reality show.
 
 
 
2.     I dont think this kind of idea whould be accepted in Sweden, but if the idea ever came up, some weird guy would watch it i guess.
 
 
3.     This is the most weird reality show that i’ve heard of, I mean, Japan is weird with their shows, but this takes the price. You cant make a guy sit in a room without knowing about whats he’s in for, and making him stay there with no contact of the outerworld.
 
 
4.     I would not watch this show. Because its just a wierd concept and it just does not work for my taste of shows.

Yes, he didn't know better. He had no idea he was on air when he was in that apartment. He didn't know why he was there or what for.
2. No, in Sweden we have more respect and moral for our viewers and the people on the show. We wouldn't test how far a human could go just for a tv-show. 
3. No, The closest we could think of is Paradise hotel, and that is nowhere near this show. You test how far a person can go, physical. Never seen/heard anything like this.
4. No, we wouldn't waste our time watching this, the people in the show doesn't deserve to get humiliated like this guy, so no, we wouldn't watch it. ]]> 2017-02-03 09:52:00 UTC https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151381601 https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151381853 1.  yes because he didn´t know better and he didn´t know what to do. ]]> 2017-02-03 09:53:13 UTC https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151381853 2. https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151381896 We don't think the idea would have ever been thought of in Sweden  since there would not be many contestants. If it would ever be recorded there would probably some viewers but not as many as it was for the real thing.]]> 2017-02-03 09:53:24 UTC https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151381896 Nathalie & Emilia https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151381928 1...
It was his own choice to not leave, but it was kind of mean that he didn´t know so many was watching him 

2...
Well we think that people would watch it in the beginning, but that later it would be boring and mean not telling him. We would never watch it. It´s just weird and mean. 

3...
This is the worse thing I´ve ever heard of. It is so crazy and it is a show for it self. Maybe America would do something in common, but maybe not in that way. 


4....
Never ever.. It´s an awful tv-show and it is not even funny watching a normal guy behave strange and become crazy. ]]> 2017-02-03 09:53:33 UTC https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151381928 Felicia & Alice https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151381970 1. Yes it was wrong because even though he could leave, he was naked so that wasn't an option.

2. No, that's too extreme, Sweden is a very "political correct" country and people would find that wrong.

3. Yes, it's way worse than any other shows we've watched. 

4. Maybe because it sounds funny but i think it feels wrong watching it since he didn't know that they recorded him.]]> 2017-02-03 09:53:47 UTC https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151381970 https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151381978 petter]]> 2017-02-03 09:53:49 UTC https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151381978 2. https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151382004 No, because in Sweden we care more about our ability to be private. We consider a TV- personality just as a normal person, not an object being tested. 

3. The reality show is different from others, because it feels like he wants to be there at the same time as he doesn't. In Europe and America, only the people who really wants get on air. They compete to  participate, he only completed a challenge. 

4. No, we wouldn't want to watch it. What is the fun part of watching a naked depressed man?
Emmy, Kajsa N, Klara]]> 2017-02-03 09:53:57 UTC https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151382004 1. Yes it was very unethical. https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151382200 2017-02-03 09:54:48 UTC https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151382200 August https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151382252 1. If the Japanese tradition of not going naked outside or endure a hard challenge is that strong that one should not leave the competition, then my answer is yes - it is unethical in my opinion. However, the situation may change if I find out that Nasabi said yes to go through some form of social experiment.

2. In my point of view, the culture of reality shows in Sweden is way different than in Japan for example. We do not like that type of cruel humour which one can find in shows like "America's Funniest Home Videos", where people e.g. fall off trampolines and hurt themselves. I do not even know if Swedish laws would give one the opportunity to make such a show - it could result into huge debates and talks about controversial television if someone came up with the idea.

3. This show consists of a challenge that I think is the most brutal I have seen. I remember me watching the reality show Fear Factory one time, where the competitors had to stomp and jump up and down in a container full of worms. Then they had to tap the crush into a glass and drink it. However, I think that being naked and forced to win in lotteries in order to get accurate food is even worse than to consume insects.

4. To hear about this shows brings a "too much" feeling to me. I am too used to the Swedish humour culture in order to accept such a program as funny. I am sure that I would switch channel or go and do something far more important than watching a poor guy going insane in an apartment.]]> 2017-02-03 09:55:02 UTC https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151382252 https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151382327 2. No we don´t think that´s a good idea because Sweden have more ability to be private. We don´t want to show the rest of our country this type of object

]]> 2017-02-03 09:55:31 UTC https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151382327 1. Hampus, axel, https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151382352 I think it´s unethical to take him to another country with no money or clothes. 
2. No, because the Japanese humor is very different to the Swedish. i think you sue the one who did it to you if it would happen in Sweden.
3.  ]]> 2017-02-03 09:55:39 UTC https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151382352 Alexander & Melker https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151382437 1. I believe it was unethical of them not to tell Nasabi about their project, but if he had the alternative to leave... I say it was his own choice. He probably just wanted a good job in a very poor country.

2. No, we don't think that it would be possible in most western countries, because recording someone without their approval can lead to serious accusations and charges. Swedes are more reserved so there probably is no chance.

]]> 2017-02-03 09:56:13 UTC https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151382437 no it was up to himself. https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151382679 2017-02-03 09:57:33 UTC https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151382679 https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151382709 3. The show is kind of weird. Japan has a different type of structure of their shows.  It´s about a guy sit in a room without knowing about why he´s in there

2. No because you are not allowed to post footage of a person without their approval. 

3. Yes! It is a stupid show. Because it is close to torture since they just left him naked and without food.  Big brother (sorta)

4. No we would never watch this because it is stupid and i don´t like to watch people getting tortured!!!]]> 2017-02-03 09:58:23 UTC https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151382851 https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151383214 4. no we wouldn´t take our time to watch this kind of show 

]]> 2017-02-03 10:00:28 UTC https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151383214 yes it was a little bit wierd show. other reality shows could be paradise hotel. https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151383292 2017-02-03 10:01:02 UTC https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151383292 no i dont think so because it wasn't excating. https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151383560 2017-02-03 10:02:33 UTC https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151383560 Hellooooooo https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151383836 2017-02-03 10:04:13 UTC https://padlet.com/johanna_ehrminsvensson/rcwidb0jyfq9/wish/151383836
