Watching reality programs is a good way to see the reasons behind people do things since TV programs are usually targeted, especially those for younger generations or my age at the social aspects of their lives, which leads to the instinctual/social control ime talking about.
Like an experiment that can be summed up with empirical evidence, how is this hard for you to understand? If you make a claim, it's your responsibility to back it up.
Watching reality tv programmes is most definitely not a good way to try and explain any kind of social phenomenon. The type of people that apply to appear on such programmes are chosen for their "out there" personalities, most of which is false. Also, you're deciding to judge the whole world based on 10 or slightly more people in a house, with rules that are completely different to the outside world? Firstly, that group is far too small for it to be representative of the population. Secondly, you may as well judge everything in human behaviour off of Zimbardo's prison experiment.
