Charlie Brooker video question

What effect does Charlie Brooker say repeated visions of middle class life style is having on British people?

One effect is that gives people unrealistic goals which they are unable to achieve, this gets there hope up only to be crushed when they find out they can not become who they see on the TV. Also TV makes the children who watch shows such as cribs, want those houses and makes their egos grow and they become spoiled and blind to see that they wont reach where they want to be. It is not just TV shows that effect the public adverts cloud peoples judgment on things, as everything is presented in an unrealistic way and made to look better and more important than it actually is. The media represents celebrities as idols and some of the more successful people as villains for striving for the best e.g. Alan Sugar when he fires people. When normal people read magazines and see the celebrities on televisions it makes them depressed because  they cannot become these people and then eventually they hang themselves and then discover that when they are dead they become famous e.g. Van Gough.
