Today's teenagers are directly influenced by numerous social media, which cause subordinate messages that sometimes remain invisible to many. Television is one of the major influences surrounding a culture, bombarding teenagers with messages, some good, some bad. Television not only has the power to inform and entertain, but is also capable of shaping the beliefs and influencing the identities of young adolescent viewers. Television can have negative effects such as greed, superiority and pretension that cause corruption in the minds of viewers, as well as in our society. Since television is a major force in social corruption, it is natural that adolescents look to its messages as a source of guidance. Over the years, the portrayal of greed in teenagers seems to have become more and more intertwined in reality shows with each passing generation. In shows like My Super Sweet Sixteen and The Hills that are seen on the Music Television (MTV) network, teenagers behave ignorantly but are nevertheless celebrated, even idolized, for such behavior. People may argue that these programs are broadcast solely for "entertainment" or to show the "rich side of the spectrum", but the messages behind them are pretentious in nature and demonstrate negative influences of greed, animosity, and selfishness. Although dramas are a subgenre of reality television series, the genre is still being researched. According to Urban Dictionary, “dramility” can be defined as “an evolution of the “reality series” television genre that blends realistic and fictional elements.” This type of entertainment evaluates the underlying messages presented to adolescents in the form of so-called “entertainment”.
