You will need to cite specific insights from the assigned article and also the first episodes of Amish in the City.

Add a question then answer it

Why the Amish may be the "star" of so many reality shows? What is so interesting about them to mainstream modern Americans?
What is the "point" of the filmmaker of Amish in the City and other reality shows such as Devil's Playground? What points are they trying to get across (consider points made in the article (especially in the "What harm? section" and your observations of the first episode)?
Consider the Amish as a minority group and then consider other minority groups as potential foci of reality shows. This article discusses other hypothetical reality shows with other minorities such as "Muslims in Montana". What are the social/ethical implications for focusing on minority groups such as the Amish?
Discuss the ethical tightrope of educating the viewers and entertaining the viewers of Amish in the City and other similar reality shows. How might you balance these competing demands if you were a film writer/ novel writer in this genre?
