Blog entry: 6

        The article "Truman Show Syndrome: why people think they're living in a reality show"  by
        Colin Lecher focus on the effect that people living in reality show.
            One of the question was asked by a New Yorker article on the "Truman Show" that "What do you do when delusions and paranoia look an awful lot like real world?" People always keep believe in reality show and how the show make them famous. But they never realize that the life in reality show are not true. people in reality show have to live with unknown drama. They never get chance to live in normal life.
          "Truman Show Syndrome is a new phenomenon, but delusions of type are not. People have always imagine things that are." It's true that development in technology leads to change in delusions. Lecher mentions that "in the nineteen-forties, the Japanese controlled American minds with radio waves; in the fifties, the Soviets accomplished this with satellites; in the seventies, the C.I.A. implanted computer chips into people brains. And today's delusion-fuel?"
            Based on "Truman Show" i agree that the reality show really make us sick. It makes our life living in a prisoner.
           I feel Truman life in "Truman Show" is related with one of my friend's life. who was living in unreal world as Truman did in his show. she was unknown for things going around her. she was a nice person. she loves to help people.And she always respect and trust her parents. But all the certain she totally change, since she  was suffering from her unknown life. That when she was kid she was engaged with a guy who was 30 years old. And soon she will going to marry with that guy. Her parents never let know her about her engaged and up coming event, until she fell suspicious.when she came to know that her suspicious came true, she was really shocked. she never realize that her parents will do this with her. At end she decided to skip from unreal world which she never know about that and neither she believe on it. she mention me that she is out from prison now. And she is living in real world. I notice that she never try to trust people which she did before. since from that incident the words trust go away from her mind.
              Title article "Truman Show Syndrome" was most educational. I learn that people in reality show are being suffering from fack life.
