All About A Secret Manipulator Hidden In Television Show

By Daphne Bowen


The mass media has been very well known to always feed the minds of people with different kinds of messages just about everyday. Of course they do this even by the regular TV shows that people would watch every single day. Each television show actually has a secret manipulator hidden in television show that would take the form of the protagonist, the antagonist, and the other characters.

From a scientific point of view, Herbert Krugman stated that the moment a person watches TV, he will be more inclined to use his right brain instead of his left. The left hemisphere is used for logical reasoning while the right brain houses all the emotional qualities of a person. When a person uses his right brain to create responses, he will be inclined to creating uncritical and emotional responses instead of logical ones.

The reason for this type of occurrence is simply because people view watching TV as a relaxing activity which means that they do not want to analyze too much when they watch. So when this happens, then the right brain will be the one to create the responses when one would start watching TV. Since the right brain is used, then watching certain shows can be addictive simply because the messages from these shows would appeal to the emotional level of the viewer.

Now to dig deeper into this subject, it is good to take a look at how the media actually targets certain groups or clusters of people. They do this by means of target segmentation wherein they would target the preferences of a specific group of people by making use of demographics and behavioral patterns. This is the very reason why there are so many genres of shows.

When it comes to television shows, usually the main objective is to get the viewers hooked on the show. So if one would think about it, he would most likely ask himself what makes shows so addictive. Well looking deep into it, it is mostly because of the script which was made by the scriptwriter and inspired by the director.

Of course the one who creates the plot is the writer of the story. The writer of the story would also be creating the dialogues that would be able to catch the attention of the viewers and to keep them hooked on the show. Of course since the writers are the ones behind the plot, then they would be the ones who would add the subliminal messages there that could appeal to the people.

Now the same principle would also apply to reality shows too. Reality shows become interesting when the story flow is also interesting and when it relates to the viewers. Pretty much it also shows how normal people can be on TV.

If one would really take a look at shows these days, they target what the viewers aspire in their lives. The goal of the directors is to make sure that people can relate and immerse themselves in the TV program. This is how they manipulate the viewers.
