• Might not understand the narrative  

What is ethics?
Beliefs in what is right/ wrong. We get them from parent/ guardian, personal experience,education and  the media. There is a sliding scale.

What programmes teach us good morals.

• Judge judy 
• Scrubs 
• Dexter 
• Death Row 
• Telly Tubbies 
• Suits 

With these examples we can prove these teach us good morals in different ways.

Should Tv and film be more ethical?
No TV and film shouldn't be more ethical because there is so many TV channels out there now that every genre is basically covered. People can pick and choose what they watch not like it was many years ago. If parents are worrying about what their children are watching then they can do something about it. Parents should be more in control over what their children watch. There is channels out there what do give out good examples of good ethics( listed above ). People have a choice to what they watch so if they dont like what they are watching such as SouthPark then they can easily find something what suits them.

Can TV and film be blamed for the slipping ethics of society? 
Yes because teenagers are known to copy one another and dont wont to be left out on the latest things. So if a famous person on TV is doing a certain thing then they think they feel have to do it cause their mates are going to do it and is considered as cool. Teenangers are also to blame because they are copying and tricked in to liking programmes like the Geordie shore because teenagers think they live the way the people do on the programme.

BIG BROTHER  

What behaviour raises some questions about morals ethics? 
The aggression by jade is picked up straight away because we all know what they was argument wasn't the point there was more deeper reason racism. Because Jade was arguing with indian woman people thought if Jade was arguing with a white person then the argument wouldn't of been so bad.

Why would channel 4 show this? 
Channel 4 showed this because they know the audience like to see people arguing cause its a sort of entertainment of a reality TV show. It also gets more viewers for the channel if people are talking about whats going on and if its made the news paper. People believe if something is in the paper then it has to be important.

Whats your reaction to this clip?
My reaction to this clip is wrong and stupid. The whole argument in the fist place is a waste of time. talking about and its a waste of time watching. Its not worth arguing and fighting over something petty. People say there was more a deeper reason why jade was so aggressive but there isn't any proof of this.
