All know that television had been originally devised as
a form of bringing events and entertainment into
people’s homes. In the golden age of TV, we had seen
great entertainment and honest reporting, and true
competition in sports and other socially contestable
events.
However, as time went on, TV became weaponized for
to turn fiction into fact, mix the two so people have a
hard time telling the difference. Today, very little on TV
has deep validity and thus, many uses make believe as
their substance. Good ideas come from watching TV
and of course, bad ones too. TV has contributed to the
swelling of our very wasteful and misleading fashion
industry.
At one time, the purpose of “putting people through
make-up” before they appear on the set is to make
them look presentable, as if they weren’t. As time went
on, the method turned out to be nothing more then a
form of censorship. Make-up departments themselves
in TV stations and movie studios have become a lie for
the most part, dehumanizing people into something
they are not. Some would make the case that make-up
doesn’t change anything about the person. If this claim
is meaningful, then why have make up?
As a result of fashion, we have people with false
feelings about themselves and others, good and bad.
The Fashion industry has caused envy, jealousy,
overconfidence and character misjudgment on others.
This puts misleading notions people for who and what
they are. It has promoted people for unqualifying
positions in fields, interfering with the quality of
services in many industries and thus, depriving
otherwise qualified people in the process.
At one point it had looked as if we had been braking
away from the phase of dressing or making ourselves
to other people’s standards for the sake of acceptance
or promotion, and then came the political correctness
age in all its hypocrisy. This also may very well have a
hand in why people confuse discrimination with justice.
As a result, censorship has taking on a stronger role in
our society, condemning more then just what we say. If
make-believe is to become the new reality, then how
will we understand the real reality of things, and what
will TV evolve into in the coming days?
