Assignment 5 part 3

            From what we went over in class it appeared to me that my subject questions weren’t compelling enough, or open enough for debate.  I came to the solution to my problem by coming up with an entirely new topic using the topic page in our pamphlet.  I came up with this, “How do shows like The Bachelor affect their viewers’ outlook on love?” This seemed like a good topic to me because it brings about 2 highly interesting subjects.  True love has fascinated people for centuries. Why else would there be so many movies about it if this weren’t true.  Reality shows are interesting as well to society, and are also much debated.  With that, there are many ways to approach the question.

            I used a few good words to help me in search of good articles online so far.  I used “reality shows” “love” and “viewers” as my key words in the search. They brought me to a few alright articles and one good one.  The one that most helped me is titled “Reality Romance”.  The author reports on the lives of various women who have appeared on television reality programs in hopes of finding true love.  The article has interviews with people who were actually on the bachelor itself, which increases its credibility significantly enough for me to make it one of my main sources.
