| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | What makes WHADDYADO such a valuable resource for teenagers is that it exposes them to real life situations. The reenactments give the audience the opportunity to develop important life saving skills. By exposing the audience to perilous situations that have actually occurred, then, using interviews with the participants, and instructions from experts, teenagers are shown what the proper reaction should be when faced with similar life-threatening circumstances this show is perfectly positioned to educate its audience. Because research demonstrates that teenagers learn best from children their own age, this show is uniquely designed to get its lessons through to teenagers. It is likely that in addition to learning the life saving lessons contained in each episode, the show will also work to minimize a viewer's belief in their immortality, a priceless lesson for all teenagers. WHADDYADO's moral dilemma segment is an invaluable addition to the series. In these segments, teenagers are given a scenario which raises moral questions. They are then provided with an expert's analysis of the costs and benefits of various courses of action. This portion of the show touches on sensitive areas that I have yet to find in other television shows being dealt with in such an up front, open nature. By tackling these challenging issues head on, WHAADYADO works to help develop the moral fiber of our nation's teenagers. These segments are a welcome educational opportunity for teenagers who are working to define themselves. |
