The Effects Debate: My Super Sweet 16 UK

My Super Sweet 16 is an MTV reality series documenting the lives of teenagers, usually in the United States, Canada and UK, who usually have wealthy parents that throw huge coming of age celebrations.

What impact (positive/negative) could your case study have?

This programme can have a negative impact on its viewers because it shows younger people being showered with money and gifts, they then might think that this is a social norm, so then the teenagers that watch this could then expect the same treatment from there parents even though the teenagers in the programme have incredibly rich parents.
A positive impact that this programme may have on its views is that they see the teenagers who are being thrown amazing parties with amazing gift but yet they are mostly very ungrateful and come across as selfish. This could make the audience of the programme want to act the total opposite.
