In “The CSI Effect” by Richards Willing the author tells the reader how, as a result of the popularity of crime scene shows, the misconceptions they create and the Combining real-life events with fictional television crime scene shows have influenced jurors and the outcomes of court cases. The popularity of the shows increased people's interest in forensic science and prompted workers and students to move into the field. The second effect created by crime scenes is misconceptions about when to use forensic testing, as well as misconceptions about the speed and accuracy of forensic operators and machines in tracking down and identifying the culprit. Willing tells of an Arizona murder trial in which the defendant's bloody coat was listed as evidence, but was not tested. Although the defendant had already told detectives he had been at the crime scene, with the jacket, jurors asked for forensic DNA evidence linking the defendant to the bloody coat and the crime scene. The jurors' exposure to crime scenes had given them knowledge of forensic tests, but not knowledge of their proper use. Crime scene shows mix real life with television fantasy. According to Willing's studies, very attractive forensic workers and stunning suspects, along with very tidy crime scenes, show crime scenes that dwarf the real-life violence and brutality of the crime. Similarly, reality television shows have influenced people's ideas about real life and real relationships through the effects of image, misleading information, and popularity. The first effect of reality shows is the image they give to viewers. Reality shows give misconceptions about everyday life; the real world and Jersey Shore show young adults relaxing, having fun and partying every day. The image, deception and popularity of the card have influenced the thoughts of people who watch reality shows. For me, reality shows like Jersey Shore, housewives series have influenced the way I see people who have money, are stuck, and have no idea what's really important in the world. Many Americans were embarrassed to see those people representing the United States. I'm embarrassed that we Americans watch other people's reality shows who are no different than us and give them so much attention just for the simple fact of being broadcast to deceive me about how easy life is for them compared to those who try to make the difference or this just because they are popular among the younger generation. We as people should give the image of those who try to make our world a better place for those who are not so lucky but live quite well, but for those who are not lucky at all.
