  5. In what country does the story take place?
  6. Which age group is the program aimed at?
  7. Which character stands out and why?
  8. Does this character have any personality traits that you would like to have yourself? Which, and why?
  9. Does this program have an age restriction? If so, what age?
  10. Which character in the story is the “baddie”?
  11. Is he/she also popular according to your group?
  12. Is there a message or lesson to be learnt from the story?
  13. If you could meet one film star from the program live, who would that be? And why?
  14. What questions would you like to ask this person?
  15. Do you think this program has any influence on your way of thinking, acting or dressing?
  16. What TV program do you think is harmful for you to watch?
  17. Do you think any film stars or models have a positive or negative influence on your view of yourself?
  18. If you could choose a role model from the world of entertainment, who would that be?
  19. Why would you like to emulate that person?
  20. What have you learnt from the TV program “Idols”?

It is important to end the discussion by comparing the answers of the various groups. Under the guidance of the educator, the most noteworthy attitudes and values are scrutinised, while also identifying role models that can have a negative effect on their fans. Pay attention to the unrealistic body image that TV programmes portray as the norm.
