On reality shows

Reality shows that focus on family sometimes go out of hand. Oh yes a cheating husband with many young girls by his side may be interesting but one merely has to think of the children involved. Growing up in India I never had to deal with my father ever doing anything like that. I knew he will always be there for me. Now that is the kind of security a child wants. American children learn early to lower expectations from relationships and deal with all the step parents they will encounter. But to be totally insensitive to them on TV is inhumane. Television and movies have done irreparable damage to society. Of course no one can or maybe should impose on creativity but to create responsibly so that the society is served better by it is every artists duty.
