As noted, Khakpour contends that reality television can serve very useful roles in a society like ours. Write an essay in which you evaluate the positive and negative ways that reality television deals with or perpetuates stereotypes in American society. You will likely want to select a single reality television program and analyze it (and perhaps a single episode of that program) in some detail rather than choosing examples from many different programs. (See Chapter 10 on evaluative arguments.)
