Youngsters and entertainment
After the landslide success of 'Close-up 1', hundreds of reality shows have been started in different television channels of Bangladesh. In the earlier stage, it was based on music competitions and the target group was, more or less, youngsters. It has been diversified very rapidly and the range of participants has also been widening. Now rickshaw-pullers, construction workers, garment employees, kids and band groups under so many categories are running to be the champions. Moreover, competitions on dancing, acting, reciting, taking challenges, magic show, etc are being included as items.
But I think these are not helping the youngsters, as they are losing too much time on non-academic pursuits.
