There are not many shows these days that I actually like watching on TV. But one I do like watching is “30 Days“, which is hosted my Morgan Spurlock from the movie, “Supersize Me.”
What Is It About?
If you are not familiar with the show, here is a quick synopsis:
“The intelligent and innovative TV show that dares to ask: Do we really know what it’s like to see the world through our neighbors’ eyes?”
“30 Days features a diverse group of participants, each given the opportunity to experience first-hand a world antithetical to their own, comfortable existence. Each episode examines a very different subject and is hosted by Morgan Spurlock. In the final episode, Spurlock is also a participant as he turns the camera on himself. “
Why I Like the Show
I love this show because it encourages people to see things from different perspectives. No one really knows what it is like to see something from someone else’s point of view.
It really forces you to have an open mind and I like that. There are not enough people in this world that have an open mind to new things and concepts. Just because you were raised one way doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try viewing things from other angles.
The show also makes it clear on hard it is for people in certain circumstances. When I saw the episode about living on minimum wage, it really made me think. It would be hard to live that way and the show makes it very clear.
It made me realize that my situation is far better than a lot of unfortunate people. I am grateful for everything I have in my life and need to keep focus on that.
