I recently discovered a television show called “30 Days”.  It is a reality show in which people, with strong opinions on a particular issue, spend 30 days with a host family that opposes their view.

Some of the topics:

A conservative, Christian, who believes that homosexuality is a sin, goes to live with a gay man in San Francisco to learn about gay culture.

A mother is concerned that her 19 year old daughter is drinking too much so she intends to teach her a lesson by going on a 30 day drinking binge.

A Christian from WV, who associates all Muslims with terrorism, is sent to live with an American-Muslim family to learn about the religion and culture.

A woman who opposes gay adoption is sent to live with a family consisting of 2 dads and 4 sons for 30 days.

I highly recommend this show.  Most individuals are descriminating against a particular group of people because they have never been exposed to that culture.  It’s very interesting to see how this experience changes their view points.

You can watch “30 Days” for free at http://www.hulu.com.  Just click on “TV Shows” and then type “30 Days” into the search box.
