Compare and Contrast Essay: Reality T.V to high school

Compare and Contrast Essay: Reality Tv  shows to high school

One can mistakenly confuse the difference between reality T.V shows to  high school. They both involve inhuman beings and most of the time drama is being associated to it .  Reality shows are often  about celebrities and their inside life while high school is an experience that everyone goes through . The both come with its ups and downs but the big difference is that one is televised and sometimes scripted while high school is the real deal.
            T.V channels such as VH1 and MTV have all had their different types of reality shows . We can all agree that Flavor of Love was the father of all reality shows . It gave us insight into the life of the rapper and the women that are trying to wi his heart over . All through the years we have seen so many types of reality shows. From  romance reality shows to contest shows , we have seen it all . This shows are sometimes scripted so as to win many  viewers and also popularity .  The latest T.V show now is Jersey shore and I must say , the ratings are high up . Also in most reality shows , the  host is usually paid per episode and he fees can increase depending on how much the fans love the show .
            High school is something that everyone goes through but the best part is it’s experience. The drama that comes with high school is suppose to help in molding the person . In high school , everything is real . From girlfriend problems to  having a problem with the dean , it’s all real life instances. High school comes with it’s   own fun and sadness . In high school , there is the popular crowd and also the nerds. You hanged with certain people and everyone had their own clique .  People often see high school as the first step to adult hood .
            Reality shows are mostly designed to entertain its audience. It has its flaws and also can contain a turning point . They usually feature celebrities who wants to tell their business to the whole world and most of the time they are getting paid for it . Different reality shows talk about different things such as relationship, or contest . Reality shows are &70% fake and 30% real . High school  on the other hand is a process that everyone goes through . Everything about it is real and none of it is scripted . Also in High school , things just flow naturally unlike in a reality show  were the director controls everything .

Assasination plot to kill the Saudi ambassador to U.S

The U.S   discovered a plot involving top members of the Iranian government and their plans to assassinate the Saudi Ambassador to U.S. According to the New York  Post , an American based used car dealer Mr. Arbabsiar was used as a middle man between the Iran radical group named the AlQods and a Mexican drug cartel named Los zetas. Mr. Arbabsiar was recruited by his  cousin Shakuri , a top member of the radical group to contract a hit man from the vicious drug cartel to carry out the job. The sum of 1.5 million was offered to the cartel for the job in exchange for the murder plot and also for the bombings of U.S embassies abroad.
 Unknown to them the DEA  already knew about their disastrous plan and had began to work against their plan. They planted a DEA to work as the supposed hitman. The first payment was made in the sum of $100,000 followed by other transactions .  One of the things that shocked security agents was when the supposed hitman informed  Arbabsiar that innocent civilians might get hurts as a result of the plan . His response sent fears down the spines of the agency.  He said fuck’em, if hundred and fifty people die , then they die. The agency quickly arrested Mr. Arbabsiar and he quickly co-operated with security agents .  Another news source, The NewYork times gives the same story about the incident . There were some differences in from the two news sources even though the focus on the same main point. The New York post gave time lines and also showed pictures of the alleged suspect. They even went further ahead to provide information from the secretary of the state.  The New York Times on the other hand delivered the same message but on the paper we see the white house releasing statement about the discovered plot. We also get information about the President Obama calling the Saudi Ambassador to give him the assurance that the U.S is behind him . Also from the Times , we also see that that the suspect Mr. Arbabsar also waived his right to be quickly brough before a judge.
            The two newspapers did a god job in covering the article but when you read them both , you would see that  The Times provided more information than The Post.  The times dug deeper and provided more valuable information such as the white house comments and also provided us with information about the suspect waiving his right.
