"Big Brother" game, spectacle or psychosocial testing of the national

Joy Pockets

In the period after a Reality Show like "Big Brother" I see two social camps, among which the first expresses disgust and nihilism towards what this program offered; while the other passionate about it, like a game, is divided into fan groups that judge the results and not the causes with their consequences reflected in the results.

In the perspective of the Stanford Experiment, from and perhaps inspired such television productions, it should be understood that such situations always have a direction like that of the psychological preparation of the guards by the Stanford team, which is replaced in these television experiments by the vote popular.

In other words, these productions do not test the actors in the competition, but the attitude and psychosocial contours of the society that follows them. The task of the production is only to create situations and challenges that attract the attention of the public, and it is the public who decides based on the viewership for sketching the situations. In fact, I hear in social media and environments discussing justice, or injustice, manipulation, or correctness in the reading of the popular vote by the production side, and I never come across the historical dialectical reading of this vote in the judgment of the voters.

Five finalists reached the final of this production, among which 4 tried to respect the system and legality of the production, while only one, the winner of this Reality Show, decided to break not only the legality, the regulation, challenging with vocabulary, gestures, communication, often not only the community with which she was obliged to live, but the whole audience; with a fine game where the sadist was victimized and applauded by the public, that she played her mission quite well, through the acting of a psychic situation with many personalities, which required the courage of the individual who knows well the national social psychology, where the sociopath is preferred in the position of leader .

This expresses nothing less than the 80-year-old psychosocial conception of our people about the resourceful, or the 99-year-old who deserves to reach the top because in front of him stand idealists and hard-working people, who do not breathe life and are in the "horse" position. of the cart".

Two are my humble personal conclusions from this Big Brother:

First: Again, in a feverish competition, the anti-system and violent individual was selected by the popular spirit of the show's followers. And this was a constructive response to all the idealists and utopians who claim that the time has come for new political representation and the trust that should be given to conscious and cultured people. Once again, the popular vote proved that the attractiveness of the national subconscious is with the sociopath with many personalities, the victimized bully, with the convicted outlaw (the white room).

Second: The positive of this Big Brother was that in the final, in fever and full discussion in the popular vote, values ??had to be confronted in the final pod with the anti-value, to win the anti-system in the competition with a representative of respect for the system of format, psychosocial abnormality with balance and psychoemotional stability, lack of argument and bullying with cultural creativity and logical argument, subcortical revolt with professional and family balance.

In contrast to last year where fraud, immorality, worthlessness, created an indisputable sympathy and triumph of anti-value over the values ??of the format, this year I want to believe that the people were divided between value and anti-value, perhaps trying to break away through an awareness with social wide from anti-value, as the source of its misfortunes in the decades after the Second World War./ CNA
