Reality TV is my topic. One of my favorite Reality TV shows is hosted
by Donald Trump and includes several real life celebrities. This show airs on Sunday nights and it is “The Celebrity Apprentice”. Donald Trump may be a hero to some,
especially in the business world.
Donald Trump, because of his impact in
the real estate development business, is one of the most successful businessmen
of all time. His very first success was
the transformation of a famous hotel at the edge of bankruptcy into The
Grand Hyatt.
Donald may also be looked at as a villain because of
his lavish lifestyle, his tough business practices, his private jets, private
helicopters and his beautiful women. He
is also worth approximately $2.9 Billion and owns several Trump Towers and
Casinos. This reputation is basically a stereotype
that exists for “real estate tycoons”. (Donald
Trump, 2012)
It is true that although most business people may
find Donald Trump a hero in the business world, others that are not so
interested in this line of work may not.
The involvement that Donald has with his Reality TV show could make him
a hero for all. I believe that most
everyone would say that someone that whole-heartedly gives back to those in
need is worth being seen as a hero.
While competing in given tasks on Donald’s Reality TV
show, the competitors are also raising money for charity. Every task that they are set out to work on
and complete raises a considerable amount of money. The team that raises the most money wins that
particular task and receives all of the funds for their team captain’s personal
charity.
Even thought, this Reality TV show is a competition
and someone is “fired” every week, they are still giving back to those in
need. I, personally, because of this
would recognize Donald Trump and the celebrity contestants as heroes.
