About how TV shows daily destroy Russian families, culture and people's health - in the review of projects of one of the federal channels.

Almost exactly a month ago, the winners of the prize for kindness in art "For the benefit of the world" were awarded (the initiator of the prize is an honorary member of the Krasnodar center of UNESCO, Alexander Usanin). During the ceremony, famous artists celebrated those masterpieces of contemporary art that cultivate creative values. But what is much of the rest of modern culture?

On our television, a lot of projects have appeared that teach new "values" to screen-bound viewers. As a rule, these are children, adolescents, housewives and retirees. According to psychologists, it is the children's audience that absorbs information messages without a single conscious filter. The YASNO portal prepared an overview of only a few TV programs, and our experts made a forecast of the “development” of the society consuming this TV product.

Our attention was attracted by the federal channel "U", which is aimed at women aged 14-44 years. Here is a list of the names of just a few programs: "My mother-in-law is a monster", "Millionaire for marriage", "Wife swap. Russian season "," Marry me "," Dear Mom! "," A little divorced. " The creators declare that the shows are dedicated to the theme of love and family. However, even the names creep in doubt, whether the universal concepts of "love" and "family" coincide with the concepts of TV producers. Let's consider these programs in more detail.

My mother-in-law is a monster

The show airs on weekdays at 15:20, when schoolchildren and their non-working mothers are at home.

Description on the channel's website: “The battle of irreconcilable rivals is in full swing. Mother-in-law and daughters-in-law find out who is the boss in the house, and along the way they try to win a cash prize, not kill each other in the kitchen and feed the guests deliciously. The confrontation will escalate to the limit. Knives, forks, intrigues and the most extravagant recipes, over which the daughters-in-law will have to work hard, will be used."

It turns out that the two most important women in the life of every man are called "irreconcilable rivals", and any interaction between them can be compared to a "battle." In this TV image of the family, peace is not implied at all. The participants of the program quarrel most of the airtime, talk to each other dismissively and let go of offensive jokes. In such a poisonous atmosphere, dishes are prepared, which are then served to dear guests. The smack of sarcasm and hysteria reigns everywhere. Mother-in-law and daughters-in-law are taught to hate each other.

The project "Mom dear!"

Married Millionaire

It is broadcast on weekends during the day when the whole family is at home.

Description on the channel's website: it is necessary to “charm … no, not a millionaire, but his children. After all, it is they who will decide who will become the new lover of their father. The girls will settle in the millionaire's country mansion, where they will feel the taste of luxury and truth: they will be tested on a lie detector, the secrets and facts that the ladies would have preferred to forget will be revealed … Not only children, but also host of the show Ekaterina Odintsova. She is a subtle connoisseur of female psychology and can easily determine who came to the project for love, and who is the next hunter for wealth. The girl who will endure all trials and win the hearts of children will receive a marriage proposal from a millionaire."

The very idea of the project is scary: women are fighting among themselves for a man. Everything is used: intrigue, tears, pretense, pressure on pity, exposure of body and soul (who has it in the kit). The history of mankind is replete with examples of glorious deeds and stubborn battles for the favor of the beloved. We are offered an inverted picture of the world.

All the participants are of a fashionable appearance and are much younger than the groom. There is a feeling that children are choosing a beautiful toy for a bored dad. How will a wealthy man treat women who tore their claws for him? If you think about it, the answer is obvious - like another entertainment, because he did not court, did not perform feats in her honor.

It's funny that girls are checked on a detector: as if she is for love or just for wealth. The very formulation of the question is incorrect: how can a lady fight for love for a person whom she, in theory, is seeing for the first time? And the procedure for a public lie detector test is completely humiliating for a real woman.

A similar project is happily broadcast on TNT, teaching girls from childhood to sell themselves at a higher price and preferably publicly.

Marry me

It will air on Tuesdays at 17:30. Most of the students have already returned from school.

Description on the channel's website: “Our reality TV heroines go against stereotypes, take the initiative into their own hands and make an offer to their lovers themselves. In just 3 days, potential brides will organize their own wedding in secret from the groom: they will invite relatives, buy a dress and suit, call a limousine and order a restaurant. On the appointed day and hour, the bride in a wedding dress will pronounce the most important words in her life: "Marry me." And if the groom agrees, the couple immediately goes to their wedding. But will he agree?"

"Of course she will agree!" - I want to answer all the participants. Why not marry such a brave, responsible and purposeful girl? Precisely "married", because this behavior characterizes a real man, and subsequently a husband.

Such projects break traditions and human values in the minds of people, especially young people. Who are these men, whom everyone runs after, persuades and everyone pays for them? How will they feed their family, protect them, what kind of children will they raise? At the very first conflict, they will quite reasonably declare: "It has imposed itself on me, so solve your (and, at the same time, my) problems yourself!"

Wife Exchange. Russian season

On the air on Wednesdays at 5:30 pm, the family is almost there.

Description on the channel's website: “a popular reality show about family values. Sooner or later, married couples are faced with a life that is stuck and a routine that makes life gray and insipid. Then the time comes to change the scenery, and the heroes of our show do it radically - they change wives! For 7 days, women become guardians of someone else's hearth, acquire new husbands and children. At the same time, they end up in families with a completely different way of life and outlook on life."

From the description it is clear what it teaches - family values. Before our very eyes, the principle of swingers is postulated: if your wife is bored - let's change. It is not clear why they still do not change children, husbands and other relatives? An understanding settles in my head that, for a change, completely strangers and people can be admitted into the very heart of the cell of society, into your family, for a change, and you can also give them the right to change the traditional way of life. Of course, many family structures are far from ideal, but for real improvement of relations in Russia there are special people, for example: psychologists, psychotherapists, elders in the family.

For adults, this experiment can stimulate change. Only in which direction? But how will children understand this? Perhaps the exchange of partners is the norm for them, or the image of the Swedish family will become the norm for them. Does Russia need such transformer families?

A little divorced

"Enlightens" viewers at 5:30 pm on Mondays.

Description on the channel's website: “The path to family happiness lies through bed. With another. Adultery is an eternal and controversial topic: someone argues that betrayal is the death of love, while someone believes that a good "leftist" strengthens marriage. For two weeks, families will disperse and try to build relationships with other people, while they will have complete freedom of action - everyone will decide for themselves how far they can go with a new partner. The spouses will call each other on the phone every day and even meet “a couple for a couple” in order to sort out their feelings and make a fateful decision - to get divorced or not."

This show epitomizes the absolute bottom of human relationships and the death of a family. Loyalty, love, honor are of no interest to anyone here. Legalized and approved treason, shown to the whole country. The logic of the project is simple: family life is gray and boring, for its reanimation, treason is urgently needed, almost in front of the wife's eyes.

Television workers offer two options for the development of events: thanks to deliberate adultery, the spouses will either be transformed and filled with mutual love, respect for each other, or the family will break up. And how many stories are familiar to mankind when spouses who openly betrayed each other lived together happily ever after?
