What Trash TV Teaches Us About Human Nature

I was sitting on the couch a couple weekends ago with my cousins nanny, Chevy. Chevy has been there for us since we were about 2 years old. My cousins and I have tons of fun with her, but she watches all those reality ABC shows. One day while Corinne was at the doctor, Chevy and I decided to watch Super Nanny, the show were parents invite the "Super Nanny" to come tame their out of control children. Now looking back on that show, it relates to Hsun Tzu's philosophy on man's nature. These troubled children represent the evil people in the world and the super nanny represents the instructors or teachers. While the evil is running wild the instructor comes in an punishes the man. The teacher teaches them the ritual principles to keep evil out of man. Correspondingly, the Super Nanny comes in and punishes the children for their wrong doings and teaches them otherwise. Through this the children become much better behaved and less of a hassle for their parents. Super Nanny reflects Hsun Tzu's ideas to correct man's original nature of evil through punishment and instruction leading man down the right path to being inherently good.
