While reality television is quite often viewed as just a guilty pleasure, the conversations that the author had with young people show that reality television is a major pedagogical force in the lives of young viewers. This is compounded by our current liquid modern time period; a time in which everything is fluid, there are no solid bonds and people are disposable. The author shares the incredible conversations that she had with seven honest, insightful pre-teenagers to give us a deeper understanding of the ways in which just a ‘guilty pleasure’ is working to deeply impact the lives of young people.Constructing Knowledge: Curriculum Studies in Action17.Reality television programsSocial aspectsUnited StatesTelevision and youthUnited StatesYouthAttitudesYouthUnited StatesAttitudesReality television programsSocial aspectsTelevision and youthYouthAttitudes.YouthAttitudes.302.23450835Ligocki Danielle T.1587635MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910793294303321The drama of reality television3875874UNINA
