The cultivation theory further explains why promiscuous television shows lead young adults to have false views of sexual relations and recreational activities. The cultivation theory suggests that exposure to TV, as well as other media sources, overtime will gradually begin to create the audiences perception of reality. The problem with this is viewers begin to believe that TV showcases common everyday experiences that make up “reality”. In actuality, such occurrences are often rare. It doesn’t help that when people witness this supposed “reality” they see on TV, they are even more willing to believe its true. Consider Gossip Girl, a show on CW that follows the lives of privileged high school and college kids in New York, which is centered on scandalous subject matter and promiscuous behavior. The viewers of this show are constantly being exposed to teenagers engaging in sexual behavior, underage drinking and generally immoral activities. Due to the cultivation theory, the viewers have a tendency to think this is how the average teenager acts and therefore thinks they should do the same. It makes them more willing to try things that were taboo in society at one point and time, and it doesn’t help when one of their peers is having sex, or binge drinking, or dating an older man, because what they already believed was true is confirmed, which leads them to an even more distorted view of reality.
