recently, in class we watched a movie in which we were presented with people also caused "mooks" and "midriffs". we were shown that they are supposed to be the typical person, looks for males, and midriffs for females, who are presented in a more relatable, if exaggerated, way that is appealing to us in that it makes us want to watch the show.
not only are these characters seen on tv, but they can also be figures in life such as a singer or someone famous. some of these characters act this way on purpose in order to attract attention to the character or it can be s=imply who that person is.
in my opinion, we shouldn't be acting this way in order to promote tv. these actions simply influence and reinforce people who actually act this way. we shouldn't be promoting behavior like this towards a child who can be easily influenced. not only this, but this acting can be seen as offensive. due to the portrayal of the "typical person" being someone who is so extreme and foolish being appealing to us and the way that we should act.
also, it is easily possible for this acting to be seen as the way we should be or act, as it is being promoted by so many people, we must be the way that they are. children generally find themselves a role model, and if they model themselves after a "look" or "midriff", it can easily lead to them making bad decisions.
we shouldn't be promoting behavior like this, as it can be extremely bad for children to see. people who act like this shouldn't be seen as a role model for anyone. these actions become stronger due to how widely spread it is and how much this action is supported by those who are on tv or famous within media and other similar things.
we cannot allow for people to act like this and should try finding a way to make it so that this behavior is viewed as bad, not good.

I agree with you. We really should not be promoting this type of behavior. It is definitely wrong that we sacrifice morals and ethics, so we can make money. These definitely have a negative impact on children and teenagers. However, we have been doing this so long that if we stop promoting this type of behavior on TV, it may not have any impact. This quite possibly could have become part of our society now, that we do not even need people on TV like this anymore to produce people like this. Trying to stop this may be too late. That damage is already done, and it will take twice as long to undo it.
