The effects debate - X Factor

Should images in your case study be censored-if so why?

I think that there are not any images that need to be censored because there are not any images that are not suitable for younger viewers or that may offend people. I believe that there are not any images that would have any effects on collective groups.

If you think your case study can have a negative effect on collective groups, could it have a positive effect?

I think that in the earlier stages of the program X Factor can have a negative affect because they put the people who cannot sing on TV. This encourages people to laugh at them and they then become known for this. I also think that it can have a positive affect because it can lead to people becoming well known for a good reason and for a talent they have. I believe that it only really has an effect on single people and not really on a whole group because it is the way that the person performs rather then what they do in there everyday lives.


Do you agree that your case study could influence/change someones behaviour?

I do not believe that X Factor could change someones behaviour because it is not a situation that people would normally find themselves in. I believe that it can only really change their opinions of other people but not the way that they behave themselves.
