The TV show
“Extreme Makeover – Home Edition“ is presenting itself as a charity show assisting
poor families by remodeling their houses, but in fact, they are doing nothing
of long lasting effect to actually help the people. While shoving upon the
affected families a new house and all sorts of technological gadgets for free,
the show ignores that future bills, maintenance costs, and taxes will increase
for the family, while their income will most likely not. Since most families
are presented to be in a tight spot even before receiving the house, this begs
the question just how they are supposed to afford keeping it in the long run.
Instead of providing a more substantial, long-running help, the show drops a
huge burden onto the family, and then moves on, making it more of a
self-serving display of charity for the TV network than an actually functioning
social charity project.

I like that your article is logically structured. Your argumentation is easy to follow and conveys your message!
ReplyDeleteThis is a nice and concise article. I like your insight how this show serves to aggrandize ABC and its sponsors rather than helping people in need.
