Gossip Girl-The CW
Gossip Girl is a show on the CW about ritzy high school kids who are extremely wealthy. You could say that some are “good” and some are “evil”. I say this because the ones I consider “evil” are the ones who are possibly the favorite of the show. Blair Waldorf is one of the IT girls in the show. She is the most popular girl and everyone knows it. You don’t mess with her. She is also the rudest. She will take revenge on anyone who hurts her, and doesn’t care who gets hurt in the process. Yet, people love this show even though it’s all about gossiping and hurting people. Yes, there is love and friendships happening, but if you ask someone about the show people will most likely tell you about the gossiping part. Don’t get me wrong, I love this show. I myself find it very interesting, but how come our culture thrives on shows like this; shows about gossip, cruelty and being rude. We find things like people getting their feelings hurt funny. Why? Why does our culture put things like this on TV when some people copy it?

I never really liked nor showed the show. my sister in-law on the other hand loves the show. I do agree that we put things on t.v support negative behavior but we get upset when we see these actually acting like that. I think the reason we put things like that on t.v is because as much as we talk about want change we honestly like our ways. We don't want change we just like the idea of it.
