Opinion piece: world's strictest parents is a stupid show
September 9th 2010 10:20
Ok, this is an opinion piece only, please do not take it as a fact.
But in my opinion the world's strictest parents is a stupid show. The reason I say so, because it is a partly representation of a society, not an full accurate representation. The show always have a function, a rebelious and bad child who is problematic in nature and their parents don't know what to do about it so send them to another strict family to be decipline.
Now here is the problem, when a child refuse to do something their parents forbid, is the thing their parents forbid them to do always bad?
If it is a situation where the child is getting into fights and taking drugs and the parents are forbidding them from doing it, then the child is doing something bad and the parents are trying to forbid them from doing something bad.
But what if the situation is one where the child is going to university using her own money and getting a job and the parent forbid it, due to e.g. wanting the child to married some guy who takes drugs, get into fights bash, people want, because he has rich parents?
When a child refuse to do what their parents want them to do, is what their parents want the child to do always good? If the parents want the child to finish high school, then in most circumstances it is good. However, if the parents want the child to go into prostitution (Real story) is the child rebellious behavior really problematic.
This is why I say programs like the world's stricest parents are stupid, because they only represent situation where the problem is with the children, but never represent situation where the problem is with the parents or when both parents and children have problems.
The reason for channel 7 to present show like such according to some experts' believe is because the main target audience of the channel is target at the baby boomer generation, as they take up the majority of the population, where gerenation X and gen Y are much lesser in number. It is a marketing thing, as they want to allow their show to have the widest audience appeal as possible.
Out of three commercial channel in Australia only channel ten target their main audience towards a younger audience, where channel 7 and 9 target toward audience in their forties and fifties.
