Big Brother vs. society?

Through the last couple of months I´ve seen and read information, opinios, critics and demonstrations of hatrade towards the reality show “Big Brother”. I´ve witnessed furious confrontations between people who devote their existance to the show, and others in which they don´t even known who the hell Osito is (capital sin!).
The truth is that no matter if we like it or not, this television programme has openned a couple of doors (that will remain open), and which lead to a key question: do we really think we´re better than those guys?
Let´s face it: we, the great Argentinians cannot accept anything less than being simply the best. And we count on our ego to prove it to the world. Yeah, you know what I´m tsaking about, don´t you? It´s that little man or woman that exists in each of us and that threatenes us from time to time with growing out of proportions...
So, under these circumstances, how will we ever assume that those kids are a free sample or what our society looks like in general terms? I accept that a lot of people don´t like it; I myself think the show is useless, but it isn´t much worsethan promising speeches in lips of our polititians, or professional footbellers who visit murderers in jail.
Maybe we thought that these guys on the show would be part of a brilliant generation that seeks for a serious commitment with our nation... that, in other words, their presence on televisiton wouldn´t be a shame fopr us. Well. I guess we were wrong. But this is just entertainment;part of a show; the living proof that many people want to become famous skipping, if possible, the hardships. It´s obvious that none of them is expected to be awarded with a Nobel Prize, but in the end that´s their choice. And our choice is to change the channel if we don´t like what we are watching. Simple as that.
I think generalizations and stereotypes are not only hideous but also nonsense. The power of changing this present society is not in the hands of 17 people locked in, but in us, the ones who are outside and still can recognize flows.
