Considering that people in the world already have this terrible image of what American’s are like in their heads, do we really want to do this? If anyone’s seen the show “Sweet Sixteen”, you know that these girls/guys on the show are not the most self-sacrificing, caring, hardworking people in the world (at least on the show… I really don’t know what they’re like in real life… but I’m going with what MTV is editing to show me…) And we really want to send these girls/guy to the world? It just scares me a little bit that they’re gonna in essence be our ambassadors to these people who might not have any other contact with Americans.
If MTV is essentially just using these cultures to “teach these girls a lesson”… wow, really? We look down on these people that much that we’re using how they live as a punishment? I’m a little bit embarrassed. It can all turn out to be better though if these girls learned to embrace these different cultures and showed how amazing it can be. But for some reason I don’t think that’s gonna happen. Who knows though, maybe they will. Hopefully they will and represent our country well. Especially after the olympics and all the athletes represented our country so well these past 2 weeks. Here’s hoping that these girls can pull through, prove me wrong, and quell my fears.
