'Shameless'


Over the last four weeks we have discussed many themes of 'being bad', smoking, shop lifting, prostitution and infidelity. If you watch the programme 'Shameless' on channel 4, it's all in there!!...especially last week as it glamorised shop lifting, sex with multiple partners causing a sexual transmitted disease and finally infidelity happening too! Although really funny as many of you would agree, it holds an undercurrent of sadness and opens your eyes to how some people live. If we were met with the same choices in life, wouldn't we all do the same thing? I think that our principles are inherited from our parents, we all have choices to make in life and the choices we make along the way, make us who we are. So who is 'bad' in the programme 'Shameless', the parents, the environment or society? Is it really their fault that they behave so shamelessly?

  1. i to watch shameless and cant believe the storylines, the new heights of bad behaviour they reach is extrodinary how many ways can they portray different types and scenes of adultery yet in everyone there is rarley any consequences. last week showed how the mom was able to have an affair to get the caravan fixed but no side effects nobody even found out. this programme seems to somewhat gratifies adultery but when you watch programmes like jeremy kyle things like this actually happen.so isn't this like you commented just showing us how some people live their lives, although im not sure everyone would make the same choices if in that situation as most of us have a conscious, so it isn,t the environment or parents just personality choice.
