By exposing the teen viewer to perilous situations which have already occurred, then, using interviews with the participants and instructions from experts, they are shown what the proper reaction should be when faced with similar life-threatening circumstances. The show also works to minimize the viewer's belief in their immortality, a priceless lesson for all teens. In the show's "moral dilemma" segment, teens are given a scenario which raises moral questions for which they're provided an expert's analysis of the costs and benefits of various courses of action, tackling the challenge head on. All in all, Whaddyado works to help develop the moral fiber of our nation's teens, each segment welcoming the opportunity for teens who seek to define themselves. |
